At that time, Egil sighed leisurely. The sadness of the beautiful uncle can probably fascinate 98.4% of women and 22% of men in the world. Apart from anything else, Sonia, who was closest to Egil, was blushing and her heartbeat was racing. He had no choice but to lower his head, forcing himself not to look at Egil's face. Only then did he regain his composure.
If we talk about the biggest variables of this wedding, uncertainty and obstacles. Then it must be Joan of Arc. Regarding Egil's sudden marriage, the other girls were both surprised and happy, except Joan, who was mixed with joy and sorrow.
After several years of living in seclusion. The former French Saint, the former Sword of God, and the Imperial Marshal's character became increasingly indifferent. Live an ordinary life every day, go to mass, and pray for Egil. Giving to the poor, going to the Imperial Court of Justice to help Joan felt that this kind of life was what she expected. Even though he is only thirty years old now. But the leisurely atmosphere seems to be that of an old woman in her seventies or eighties.
This made Egil feel very sad.
After returning from the expedition to Constantinople, Egil once talked to Joan of Arc. After seeing Joan of Arc again, Egil simply couldn't recognize her - it wasn't because of her appearance or clothing. But the temperament.
The original Joan of Arc was tenacious and unyielding. As proud as icebergs and snow lotuses. Exuding the aura of a leader is fascinating. However, Joan of Arc now hides all the sharpness in her body. Like a stream of autumn water without any ripples.
Although Egil¡¯s heart dropped when he saw her like this, he still refused to give up and wanted to bring Joan back again. So, he sat down, resisting the dislike of the cold wooden chair and resisting the urge to get a soft plush cushion. Try your best to look happy. He and Joan began to talk - only he spoke, of course, and Joan only listened.
What Egil tells is the story of his expedition, which destroyed two kingdoms along the way. and the great deeds of an empire. He emphatically described the justice of this war and the magnificent reasons. Describe yourself as a great leader who is ambitious, righteous and pious.
He also described the heroism of the soldiers on the battlefield. A battle of good and strange strategies. Those violent Minotaur warriors, hussars galloping like wind and lightning, tough super-lance phalanx, and thunderous artillery volleys. As well as thousands of years of Roman civilization and splendor, Constantinople¡¯s towering walls, fortified fortresses and countless wealth, works of art and scientific achievements¡
All of this is fascinating. And Egil is a pretty eloquent person - no. It should be said that he is simply an orator who can speak lotus flowers. In his speech, what was originally only ten points will be expanded to one hundred points, and what was originally only one hundred will be expanded to ten thousand! Egil felt that after listening to his words. Iron men also need to be tempted. You should also be fascinated and eager to devote yourself to it and make a career.
And the reason why Egil did this was to use such a story to inspire Joan of Arc. He wanted to make her yearn for such a life again. Come back to the army. Re-became the Marshal of the Imperial Army and the Grand Duchess of Naples. In addition to political reasons, the main reason was that the emperor felt that her life was too painful.
The life of a poor and simple ascetic was not without torture for Egil. Respect yourself and others. The emperor felt sad for Joan. He couldn't bear to see the woman he loved living so hard. That's why you work so hard.
However, the emperor was destined to be disappointed. No matter how he tells it. He kept talking with such a brilliant tongue that his mouth became dry in the end. Joan of Arc's expression never changed. Always maintaining a calm smile made Egil feel like a failure.
After listening to what Egil said, Joan stood up with a smile, walked to the other side, picked up the kettle, and poured Egil a glass of water. Then he said: "I will pray for you for the rest of my life."
After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes. Holding the cross with his hands clasped together, it seemed that he didn't want to talk anymore. This made Egil feel like a failure. He stood up and opened his mouth to say something else. However, looking at Jeanne's appearance, she couldn't say anything. Feeling very depressed, the emperor picked up the wooden cup on the table and drank it in one gulp. I drank up all the tasteless water. Watching Jeanne stretch out her hand again, wanting to carry her to the bed. This trick is very effective for other women who have a bad temper. Egil also believes that Joan of Arc will definitely be very lonely after not having sex for several years.
However, looking at Joan of Arc's appearance, the emperor finally retracted his hand.
"Can't you come back? What a big deal. I will spit out the Kingdom of France. I will find the descendant of the Capetian family and make him the king of France. If this is not enough, I will give him Brittany and Normandy. As long as I You change your mind and come back to me.?Everything can be discussed. "
At the end of the sentence, Egil¡¯s tone even sounded a little pleading. After hearing what he said. Aurora, who had always been in a state of soul connection with him, couldn't help but roar angrily: "How much of an idiot do you have to be?! You have to abandon two provinces and revive a hostile country for a woman?! No! I¡¯ve seen you be such a spendthrift!¡±
However, despite what the eldest princess said, the sourness in her tone could be smelled from a long distance away. It was like knocking over dozens of jars of vinegar. However, Egil completely ignored Aurora's roar. He just stared at Joan of Arc, waiting to hear her answer.
Joan of Arc opened her eyes again and looked straight at Egil. Still had that indifferent expression. Even Egil saw a hint of pity and sadness in her eyes. She still didn't speak, but slowly shook her head. Then he slowly closed his eyes. No matter what Egil said after that, she never agreed again. So the emperor had no choice but to get up and leave.
Aurora was so jealous just now. At this moment, hearing Egil's displeasure, Aurora would be weird if she didn't say a few words of ridicule: "So you men are so cheap. You can usually take so many women to bed with you, don't you?" It¡¯s rare. I just want someone who ignores you. It¡¯s a pity that they don¡¯t take you seriously at all.¡±
"You don't understand, you idiot." Egil snorted, not taking Aurora's taunt seriously at all. After this, Aurora's pregnancy happened. Then there was the mass wedding event of the Norman Emperor. This indifferent nun is on the list, and ranks very high, second only to the eldest princess Aurora.
The emperor didn¡¯t have much time to play the game of chase with Joan of Arc. In fact, the Norman army had already begun to recruit. If it weren't for the recruitment of the reserve army, which would take a while, I'm afraid this wedding would have been postponed. The emperor didn't even want to celebrate Christmas, and was preparing to take his army to the Rus steppe to compete with the Mongols. For the emperor who was fond of this kind of crazy war life, it was impossible to let him relax all of a sudden.
Therefore, the emperor decided to kill him first and then report him later. He directly forcibly married Joan of Arc. Then he packed her up and took her to Ross Grassland to blow the smell of blood. The emperor felt that Joan could recover in this way. And accept yourself. In this way, one is because the time is too short, only one day. The other is because Joan of Arc usually behaves indifferently, and there are not many people she has good friends with. There is only one Maria, who is still a confused character, and no one tells her. The third reason is that the emperor himself had the intention of making a meal out of raw rice. Although it was not intentional, he also had the intention of hiding Joan.
These three factors add up. Marriage is such a big deal, but Joan of Arc is the last one to know about it. It's ten o'clock in the morning on the 20th. There were still two hours before noon, and Joan of Arc was praying in her room when a group of more than a dozen maids came outside. After running in, he surrounded her, freshened up and changed clothes. It made Joan of Arc baffled. No idea what happened.
"What on earth is going on? What are you doing?" Joan of Arc was made dizzy by these maids. Out of nowhere, he changed into clothes. After washing and dressing up, I took the time to ask these maids.
And hearing her ask this, these maids were also very surprised - you are the one who is getting married, why did you ask us instead? A maid was afraid that something had gone wrong, so she asked, "Isn't today the day of your wedding to His Majesty?" At that time, Joan was stunned by the question.
"I have never heard of such a thing." Joan of Arc's answer made the maids not know what to do. The two sides were in a stalemate for a while. But Joan of Arc is smart after all, and she has figured it out now. I know it was Egil¡¯s idea. I feel both angry and funny. At the same time, I felt an indescribable feeling. There was even an impulse for a moment, and I wanted to just go with the flow and marry Egil.
However, in the end, reason defeated emotion. Joan of Arc shook her head and said to the bewildered maids: "I think there must be some misunderstanding about this matter. Maybe you have found the wrong person. How could His Majesty marry a nun? You go. I Still have to pray.¡±
Hearing what Joan of Arc said, these maids didn¡¯t know what to do. The more flexible person secretly cursed: "How could we make a mistake? It seems like His Majesty is the kind of person who doesn't care at all whether a nun is a nun or something like that."
But that¡¯s what I thought. But they didn't dare to say it. Everyone knows that this woman who looks great in a wedding dress is Egil's old sweetheart. And it is very likely that she will become a royal concubine. Who is willing to offend her at this juncture? The two sides were in a stalemate.
Seeing that they are unhappyAfter saying this, Joan of Arc smiled slightly and continued: "Then that's it. If there's nothing else, just leave." After saying that, he turned around and went into the house. However, at this moment - Sonia, who was also wearing a wedding dress, walked out of the shadows and said to Joan of Arc in emotionless words: "There is no misunderstanding here, it's you. Come with us. ¡¡±
