Quick Transmigration: Losing All Standing and Reputation - Chapter 74

[Chapter 74 Glory Recovery (6)]

The day Hill’s fever subsided completely, he was finally able to stay awake for a long time.

When Rhine came to see him, he saw the sober appearance of the duke. Hill Derek’s long light blond hair has not been washed for a long time, and he sweated repeatedly when he was sick. At this moment, he looked extremely embarrassed, and his light blue eyes were wet and pitiful. But his own temperament is very firm, which dilutes the softness brought by his appearance, and does not appear too sharp.

Hill, when he saw Rhine, gave him a very polite salute as a gesture of gratitude. Rhine was not in a hurry to talk to him, but said, “If Your Excellency the Duke wants to wash up, I’ll ask someone to help you.”

Rhine didn’t care about exposing his differences from other nobles, and he didn’t deliberately call his own kindly. Stewards and servants, but he does not regard them as real slaves on demand. He subconsciously regards them as ordinary workers, and he is not afraid that others will discover the subtlety of his attitude.

It’s sooner or later, there’s nothing to hide and tuck.

As if he didn’t notice it, Hill accepted Rhine’s proposal very naturally.

Considering that Hill was relatively weak now and could not catch cold, Rhine asked John to pay attention to the water temperature and helped the weak duke complete the cleaning work. The maid brought a clean towel to absorb the water droplets on Hill’s blonde hair, John helped Hill to sit in a wheelchair, and Rhine personally pushed the duke to bask in the sun.

In the early summer weather, Canno is not so cold at last. The sun shone on Hill’s blond hair, which was still slightly damp, and quickly took away the moisture that the towels couldn’t absorb, saving Hill from getting cold.

John brought a chair for Rhine, and Rhine sat down opposite Hill.

Hill took the initiative to say: “I’m sorry to cause you trouble, I think you can guess that, although I didn’t choose to be assassinated, it is indeed my intention to fall in your castle. I just can’t think of more Good choice.”

Both of them knew very well that if Rhine failed to save Hill, he would probably get into huge trouble and be attacked by the Holy See, who had long disliked him, and the nobles in the surrounding territories might take the opportunity to gather Attack it and divide up his land. Even if Rhine saves him, he may still be forced into a battle of heirs.

In all fairness, Hill was an opportunity for Rhine, but before that, he was an endless trouble.

There is only one reason why Rhine chose to discuss with him calmly here. He believed that it was indeed Hill’s helpless choice, a choice made to survive.

The two stared at each other quietly for a while, and reached a tacit understanding in silence.

Rhine said straight to the point: “Your Excellency came all the way to Canno for what?”

Hill said, “For the execution of Gertrude Brian.”

He looked straight into Rhine’s eyes, although he was vaguely worried that it would be because of this. He lost Rhine’s help in a few words, but he didn’t plan to hide it. His purpose was clear from the beginning. If Rhine did not dare to cooperate with him after hearing it, then the two forces should not be involved from the beginning.

Rhine thought to himself.

Obviously, Hill Derek has been secretly collecting the shady secrets of the Holy See. A noble lady was executed, and this was the best chance. It is difficult for commoners who died innocently to arouse the sympathy of those ruthless nobles. Only the death of people of the same class as them can wake them up. Instead of letting them realize the darkness of the Holy See and thus want to overthrow the Holy See, Hill chose a smarter method-he wanted to let them know that the Holy See’s power was too great, so big that it could easily frame someone. Aristocrats, even depriving her of her life.

Then those stupid and high-ranking nobles will be as nervous and scared as sheep to be slaughtered, and they will wholeheartedly think about attacking first and destroying all the things in the Holy See, good or bad.

The idea of destroying the Holy See is too arrogant, Hill can only do it himself, and dare not pretend to be someone else. Only then was a few jealous younger brothers taking advantage of him and assassinating him while he was still weak. If it weren’t for Rhine, maybe he really died like this. Rhine said: “I think we have the same goal. You don’t need to look up Gertrude

, I know everything you want to know.”

Little, the young ladies who previously liked his handsome face and fertile land became more and more enthusiastic.

Although Palatinate’s face was still as pale as ever, but because of his tall stature, standing in the corner was like a handsome and elegant vampire in a vampire novel, which not only made people feel dangerous, but also made people get a kind of extreme between life and death from danger. romantic.

He has become more popular than ever.

And Gertrude has also undergone some changes. The roundness that did not appear on her as a child came to her during her teenage years, and the gradually changing curves on her body made her particularly conspicuous and plump among the young ladies. The flesh on her cheeks softened the meanness of her bones, making her lovable and lovely. Although her facial features are still not outstanding, in the words of a playboy who pursued her, she “began to have the lovely taste of a woman”.

Although the new suitors were not very serious in their pursuit, they still brought real trouble to Gertrude. Clearly, she didn’t like the plethora of compliments that the young master and the knight could spit out. And the popularity of the Palatinate made it even more difficult for her to get along with the ladies, Gertrude couldn’t get along with the ladies who talked with guns and sticks, and didn’t expect to hear those guys in the men’s pile for a spring breeze. complimented words.

Palatinate accepted Gertrude’s complaint with a good temper, and begged for her forgiveness gently, and Gertrude’s depression was easily dissipated.

Palatinate took many courses, including geometry, arithmetic, and astronomy, which Gertrude had been interested in. After Gertrude learned about it, he happily asked a few questions, and Palatinate answered them one by one according to the knowledge taught by the teacher. With the exception of geometric arithmetic, all others were refuted by Gertrude, and he said it perfectly.

Palatinate was neither ashamed nor curious about the source of Gertrude’s knowledge, and after thinking carefully about what Gertrude said, he wholeheartedly believed many of her bold assumptions.

For Gertrude, the common sense that has long been verified, for the Palatinate, it is really a bold assumption.

But Palatinate found these assumptions quite interesting, and in the case of assumptions, a lot of strange phenomena have been explained.

The enthusiasm and humility of the Palatinate inspired Gertrude’s greatest enthusiasm. As if she wanted to vent all her grievances through teaching knowledge, she tried her best to teach the Palatinate all kinds of physics and biology. , chemistry, and geography. As can be seen from the letters Gertrude wrote, she was not an expert in one of these fields, but had a basic knowledge of each. These things are taken out systematically, but if you meet someone who is smart enough, or someone who is especially sensitive to it, you can get a lot out of it.

There is no doubt that Palatinate was an intelligent man, and he may not have reached the standard of genius, but a little bit in many scientific theorems made Gertrude find the joy of being a teacher. Occasionally dreaming, she even fantasizes that she and the Palatinate lead the advanced civilization of that era into this dark century.

In the daily teaching exchanges, the intimacy between the two has reached a new level. In the past, it was the intimacy between children’s playmates, and the relationship was only whispered to each other, but now it has risen to admiration for each other’s abilities in academic exchanges. This intimacy and admiration intertwined, so that the once pure goodwill of the two gave birth to a slightly different affection.

The Palatinate, who had maintained a distinctive enthusiasm for Gertrude from the outset, was overly sluggish on such minutiae.

Obviously, Gertrude realized the change in his feelings before him, and unconsciously began to care about the young ladies around him.

In the past, Gertrude would not have asked in the letter which lady had a good-looking dress and who had a slender waist. When Rhine saw this, he knew that it was the girl’s careful thought, but Palatinate didn’t know it. He replied with a letter saying that he hadn’t noticed. When Gertrude was a little relieved, he added another sentence, saying that he would pay attention to her in the future.

So, in the next letter, after routinely discussing the scholarly questions of interest to the Palatinate, he freely wrote down his observations: Miss Bryan had the prettiest dress, Miss White had the thinnest waist, and Miss Black had the best dress. hair is the most attractive.

Gertrude didn’t reply to his letter for a long time.

Palatinate didn’t know what he had done wrong, and thought it was Gertrude’s fault. He had always known that Gertrude and Viscount Breen often clashed, for fear that she would be locked up again this time, and after writing several letters without responding, Palatinate decided to go directly to Viscount Breen to help Gertrude. De intercede.

After Palatinate came to the door, he saw Gertrude who was reading a book. Gertrude was both delighted and surprised to see the Palatinate, but always overjoyed. Palatinate was a little aggrieved and wondered why Gertrude did not reply. Gertrude’s anger disappeared at the first sight of him, and he couldn’t help talking to him affectionately. Palatinate was already mild-mannered. Seeing Gertrude like this, he forgot his grievance in three or two moments and talked to her happily.

Viscount Brian was the most happy to see this scene.

The old Palatinate was the only son of Rhine, and if his daughter could marry, he would be the in-law of the Count Palatinate in the future. With this in mind, Viscount Brain relaxed a lot on Gertrude. Gertrude took this opportunity to discuss many scientific issues with the Palatinate, and even went out to see the current university.

The relationship between the two grew rapidly in such an activity, which was the most beautiful stage before the breakthrough. For lovers who are not yet together, the sentences written by letters are comparable to the poems of heaven.

This kind of ignorant and beautiful interaction until the old Palatinate couple had an accident.

The cause of the couple’s death was a vicious and jealous incident, but both the husband and wife were involved, and each had a different object, which greatly damaged the reputation of the Palatinate family.

Palatinate had to inherit the title, become the master of Cannon, manage the funeral of his parents, and think about how he felt about the passing of his parents amid the whispers and slander of the crowd.

Gertrude didn’t let him feel sorry for himself, and stood up neatly.
