glorious fall

The tassels on the eaves of the carriage trembled, and the coachman fell to the ground.The servants who had been standing at the door for a long time went forward, stood still in front of the carriage pedals, and each of them raised a corner of the curtain. Not long after, a slightly fat old man in a cardinal robe leaned out from the carriage. Come on.The accompanying knight captain had already dismounted and stood in front of the carriage. With his back to the pedals, he carried the archbishop off the carriage.

"In compliance with His Majesty the Pope's order, the ceremonial officer Consfield welcomes the arrival of His Excellency Chester, the red-clothed archbishop of Steinta Province." Only then did the ceremonial officer lead several people to welcome him, put his left hand on his right chest, and bowed. He bowed, "Your Majesty the Archbishop has had a hard time traveling all the way. Your Majesty has ordered the mansion to be refurbished. Please rest assured, Your Majesty. Your Majesty hopes that you will feel sincerely comfortable."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking care of us in spite of his busy schedule," Archbishop Chester said with a friendly smile on his old face, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Please come down with me." The etiquette officer saluted again and welcomed Chester into the mansion.

"Mr. Consfield, how is His Holiness the Pope?" Chester asked casually, looking sideways at the officer of ceremonies beside him.

"Thank you Bishop for your concern. Your Majesty is doing well recently, and he is busy preparing for the upcoming truffle festival ceremony." Consfield replied, "But His Majesty misses you very much, and is worried about your health."

"Report to the Archbishop, the ceremonial officer," the servant leading the way paused, "The bishop's bedroom has arrived."

Kongsfield stopped, "My lord, I will send you here. Your Majesty misses you very much. I am anxious to wait for your report and leave."

Chester smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Lawconsfield is here." Looking at the figure of the etiquette officer disappearing around the corner, his smile was slowly retracted, his expression was slowly restrained, his eyes were deep, and his hands unconsciously clenched Crutches, blue veins exposed.

On the morning of September [-]th, the thin sunlight poured softly onto the roof, and the whole house seemed to be shrouded in dazzling brilliance, and horses hissed outside the porch from time to time.Mr. Hillary, the butler, handed over the suitcase in his hand to the servant on the side, and asked him to load it into the next carriage, then grabbed the blanket on his wrist, shook it off, walked forward, and said: " Your Excellency, it’s time to set off.”

Sandra hummed, and the knight captain Pfister helped her into the carriage, followed by Hillary Reid, who put the soft blanket in his hand on his lap, then he put down the curtain, got out of the car, and turned to the rear A carriage went and sat with the accompanying three servants.

After receiving the signal from the bishop, Pfister waved his hand at the others, got on his horse neatly, and roared angrily: "Let's go!"

The bell of the carriage rang again, Sandra frowned slightly, and picked up the scepter that was placed on the opposite cushion. This is a scepter that can be used to identify herself at any time. It is only half the length of an adult's arm, and the top is hollowed out. It is in the shape of a white dove [1]. The bird's tail is twisted with gold thread and inlaid with turquoise, which is green and shining.The eyes of the white dove are composed of two small rubies, which look very agile, as if they can flap their wings and fly in the next second.

Sandra took off the soft cloth from the small cabinet and wiped the scepter gently.After a while, he put down the soft cloth, opened the small cabinet door on the second floor, fumbled to take out a long strip box, opened the lid, carefully put the scepter into the box, put the box away, and locked it.

He turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, narrowed his eyes slightly, pursed his lips and thought: "This is all I have left."

Leman Province is indeed very close to the main city. By the evening of the [-]th, Sandra and his party had entered the west gate of the main city and met face to face with the ceremonial officer who came to welcome them.

"Master Bishop Demont, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Caelius Salin. He is the ceremonial officer sent by His Majesty the Pope to welcome His Majesty the Bishop into the residence of the Archbishop of Leman Province. His Majesty the Pope is concerned about the arrival of His Majesty the Bishop. I would like to express my sincere joy, and I hope your lord can make preparations for the sacrificial ceremony the day after tomorrow." The ceremonial officer looked businesslike, and had some unpleasant thoughts about the bishop who was wearing a cloak and a hat in the twilight and could not see his face clearly.

Sandra coughed a few times, and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Shalin has been waiting for a long time, and you have worked hard. Please tell your majesty, cough, cough... I will definitely do my best the day after tomorrow to fulfill my responsibilities. "

Seeing that he was caught in the cold, Kailius understood why he was almost covered in airtight, and his tone was softer: "Then, please rest early, and at two o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, please enter the palace to meet all the adults." Let’s discuss matters related to sacrifice together.”

"Please reply to Your Majesty, Sandra will arrive on time tomorrow." Sandra pulled the brim of the cloak, half covered her mouth, and answered with a slight breath.

"Well, please rest early, my lord, I have returned to the palace to reply to your majesty." Caelius bowed, and after Sandra nodded, he got on the horse, nodded to the bishop, and rode the horse left.

Note [1]: In the "Bible Story", God ordered the flood to destroy everything, but for Noah's family who were loyal to God, he built Noah's Ark and asked Noah's family to live in it with some creatures.When the flood receded, Noah sent crows and white doves to investigate successively. When the white dove came back with an olive branch in its mouth, it represented that the flood had receded, and everything in the world was born again, and new prosperity began.
