Chapter 471 Confession
The warm autumn breeze blew across the treetops, and the surroundings of the sky garden were quiet and silent, with only the returning birds occasionally flying across the sky.
However……
At this moment, Hannah Daria's heart could not calm down for a long time.
Before the Idar Repertory Theatre officially embarks on its national tour, they first have to conduct a final rehearsal in front of Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar.
When she thought that she was about to meet the legendary Duke of Idar, Hannah Darya's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Not only her, but almost all the girls present had great interest in the Duke who destroyed the Kingdom of Basel.
Their experience at the Royal Palace of Basel gave them a good understanding of the former Kingdom of Basel.
And such a huge kingdom turned into history in the blink of an eye.
No matter who it is,
Even ordinary people who don't really care about whether there is a change of regime would probably be curious about this.
Just as Hannah was looking at the magnificent sky garden out of the corner of her eye, she saw a young maid walking out of the sky garden.
Just at the moment when the young maid walked out of the garden... her figure attracted almost everyone's attention.
This is not because the maid has a stunning appearance, nor because she has a graceful figure.
It was because in her arms, the silly little griffin was looking at everyone present with curiosity with its clear eyes.
This young maid is, of course, Avril.
As Bruno's first maid, Avril has long become a qualified griffin owner.
Even though she is only seventeen years old this year, she can already manage everything in the sky garden in perfect order, ensuring that the little griffins living in the sky garden can eat and sleep well and have enough energy to play around.
Holding the "hand warmer" in her arms, Avril looked around pretentiously, and then said crisply: "Actresses of "Ordinary Partners", get ready! It's your turn for the next show!"
The voice fell,
Avril then hugged the griffin in her arms, turned around and trotted away, leaving everyone present staring at each other in bewilderment.
Griffin!
Still alive!
Including Hannah Daria, most of the girls present came from ordinary families.
However, their experiences in the Basel Palace and their study of court etiquette and aristocratic manners broadened their horizons and increased their knowledge.
therefore……
They could easily recognize that the baby in the maid's arms was an extremely rare magical creature.
And most importantly…
That is not just an ordinary magical creature, it is one of the kings among magical creatures, the king of the sky that crisscrosses the continent - the griffin! Could this be the noble family in the legend? There are indeed many noble families on the continent that use the griffin as a totem, and the Kingdom of Basel alone has a handful of them.
However, everyone was just talking, just to satisfy their own desire to talk, just to show off their family's reputation in the name of the Griffin!
How could the Stuart family, the rulers of the Principality of Idar, directly take out a living griffin and give it to the maid to feed so casually? !
This thing is the totem and symbol of the family! If other nobles were able to obtain one by chance, wouldn't they have to worship it like an ancestor?
Could it be that...
The Stuart family has so many griffins that almost every member has one? Thinking of this,
Even Hannah and the others, who were originally extremely nervous, couldn't help but ease a little.
If my performance could win the Duke's praise, would the young Duke give me a little griffin?
Although Hannah knew that this was just her own fantasy,
But when the girls thought of the little griffin's soft feathers and silly eyes, their hearts suddenly overflowed. After all... who could resist a silly little griffin? But this was obviously not the time to fantasize and giggle. As one of the leading actors of the drama "Commoner Partners", Hannah Darya had to force herself to put aside her fantasies and walked towards the sky garden with her companions.
…
For this rehearsal, the small banquet hall on the west side of the sky garden has been transformed into a temporary dance theater by craftsmen from the Principality of Idar.
In the VIP seats near the stage, in addition to officials from the Idar Ministry of Culture, Duke of Idar Bruno Stuart and Princess Cecil Léa Blood were also present.
"You're back?"
Seeing Avril jumping in with the little griffin in her arms, Leia couldn't help but chuckle and asked.
Leia has been in the Principality of Idar for quite some time. During these days, as the engagement was established, she naturally became familiar with this simple-minded maid.
To her, Avril is like a girl next door. Not only can she learn more about the Principality of Idar, but her daily life will also be richer and more interesting.
"Um."
Hearing this, Avril nodded slightly, and then looked at Bruno with a rather resentful look.
This form of performance as drama can be said to be the first of its kind in the world.
And these scripts selected by Bruno himself have plots, suspense, and context...
Anyone who takes a look at it will be attracted by the fascinating plot.
However, just when Avril was enjoying the show with Lea, Bruno suddenly got angry and kicked Avril out to pass on a message, which naturally made Avril quite unhappy.
If it were in the past, Avril would certainly not dare to glare at her Lord Duke, and she would not even dare to speak loudly.
But now...
Rhea arrives.
With the simple-minded Avril having someone to back her up, her temperament gradually became more cheerful, and she even dared to make a few harmless jokes from time to time.
"Let's let Mundell go next time..."
Looking at Bruno's indifferent face, Avril requested with some resentment.
Just like readers hate the dog that breaks the chapter the most,
Avril was sent out to work halfway through a play, so she naturally felt a kind of resentment similar to "meeting a dog out of context".
Hearing this, Bruno nodded very seriously, and then promised solemnly:
"Next time for sure!"
"But you always say that."
Seeing this, Avril had no choice but to tug at Leia's sleeve, revealing an aggrieved look.
but……
Complaints aside, as Hannah Daria stepped onto the makeshift stage, the plot of "Common People Partners" gradually unfolded, and it immediately attracted everyone's attention again, just like the previous dramas.
Avril had long forgotten about complaining. She just stood beside Leia with her eyes wide open, watching the scenes on the stage, afraid of missing any content in the drama.
Even Bruno, who had personally choreographed the play and the script, nodded slightly in admiration.
To be honest, Bruno didn't watch many plays before he traveled through time.
Movies, TV, online articles, short videos...
Of all these various entertainment activities, which one is more convenient than going to the theater to watch a play? But at this moment, after personally experiencing the extreme lack of entertainment activities in this era, Bruno also watched it with great interest.
Instead of staying in the sky garden all day watching the little griffins playing around, a drama performance is also a worthwhile entertainment activity.
It's not just about the plot. The more appealing the drama is, the better the effect it can achieve, and the criticism of the Church of Light contained therein will be more deeply rooted in people's hearts.
It can be said that this rehearsal further strengthened Bruno's confidence and increased his expectations for the impact that the drama could bring...
after all……
Since even I, a time traveler, find it fascinating, ordinary people who have never experienced the brilliant achievements of human literature and art will naturally be even more excited.
Not only the civilians, but also Rhea who was sitting next to him and the high-ranking officials of Idar who were around him were also completely shocked by the drama performance before their eyes.
As the finale of this rehearsal, the successful conclusion of "Common People's Partners" undoubtedly means the complete success of the performance, and means that the Idar Drama Troupe now has the ability to tour throughout the principality.
But the peaceful time is always short-lived, that is, when the play comes to an end...
Bruno's personal attendant Mondale quietly entered from the side door, leaned over to Bruno's side and whispered...
…
Almost a moment later,
A convoy consisting of three "Benedict" cars filed out of the sky garden and sped towards the city of Idar.
There is only one reason, that is...
Mundell's arrival brought Bruno a piece of earth-shattering news.
And the news was that Bishop Olson, who had been imprisoned by the Idar people for a long time, finally confessed! That's right, the destination of the convoy was the Bastille on the Valens Plain! You know, after the Idar army conquered the Norman Empire, the Idar people captured the highest-ranking clergy of the Church of Light on the land of the Kingdom of Basel.
Bishop Olson was always the subject of strict surveillance and interrogation, and was also the highest-ranking prisoner in the Bastille.
Because of the information that the Idar CIA had previously obtained and the various inferences made based on it,
Bishop Olson is definitely a big fish, and he can definitely understand and access a lot of top-secret information that others can hardly know! So...
In order to make this big fish a possible breakthrough, Bruno even offered a reward to the officials of the Interrogation Department. As long as they could interrogate useful information from Bishop Olson, they would receive the Idar Medal of Dedication awarded by the Stuart Family and many other rewards.
However, for several months, Bishop Olsson did not utter a single word, and his stubbornness was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
But this is the person,
When the officials of the Torture Department were ready to fight Bishop Olson to the death, and to love and hate each other for the rest of their lives...
This big fish caught by the Idar people finally showed them with practical actions what a real big fish is!
Simply put, Bishop Olsson admitted it.
Moreover, the things that were recruited were completely beyond Agent Idar's expectations.
So much so that they had to ask Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar, to go to the Bastille in person to make the decision.
after all……
The Church of Light, centered in the holy city of Bethlehem, can be said to be the most vigilant enemy currently faced by the Principality of Idar.
On ordinary days, even a small matter or an insignificant piece of information about the Church of Light would often make the agents of the Idar CIA extremely alert.
Not to mention the terrifying information and secrets revealed by Bishop Olson, which were difficult to calm down for a while!
…
The distance between Valens Plain and Idar City is not short.
When Bruno's convoy finally arrived at the Bastille on the Valence Plain, the afterglow of the sunset had gradually faded on the horizon not far away.
but,
Like other places in the Principality of Idar, the Bastille outside Valence was still brightly lit even in the increasingly dark night.
Bright searchlights swept across the Bastille from time to time, and patrols composed of Idar soldiers also passed through the city walls one after another.
As the most heavily guarded and largest prison in the Principality of Idar, although the Bastille is not well-known today, I believe that with time, the Bastille will be enough to terrify the enemies of the Principality of Idar.
after all……
The Idar soldiers who are in charge of managing this prison are not there to do anything for nothing.
Under Bruno's careful training, they not only had a deep understanding of various interrogation procedures, methods and techniques from the previous life, but also had extensive experience in the use of various torture instruments.
Although Bruno does not like to use violent means to get the answers he wants, in some cases, a combination of hard and soft means can often achieve unexpected results.
therefore,
Almost all the prisoners imprisoned in the Bastille will experience the beauty of life firsthand.
The headlights of the magic car illuminated the road ahead. As the drawbridge of the Bastille slowly descended, Clare, the director of the Idar CIA, had been waiting by the drawbridge for a long time.
The moment he saw Bruno, Claire got straight to the point and said:
"Your Excellency, Bishop Olson has confessed."
"How many things did he reveal?"
Hearing this, Claire's stern face slightly sternened, and he said in a deep voice: "Clean!"
