Liz was rendered speechless for a moment by Merriface's nasty joke, and it was not good to keep the guests waiting for a long time, so she let out a strange laugh, nodded and said: "Uh-huh - yes, I understand."
"Mr. Merriface, I accidentally wasted some time, so I'll use the magic of life."
It took less than five minutes. After Liz had prepared the tables and chairs, she brought the guests, who were all very noble in dress and status, to the room.
"I'm so glad that you all can come here despite your busy schedule, the Marquis of Cousinmont, the Marquis of Fried, the Count of Lille, Viscount Felix and Viscount Vermeer."
"Miko Hime, who presided over the affairs of Hecadia and saved the Marquis, is safe. I'm so lucky."
"Isn't that right? You are my father's savior."
"Yes, yes, we are always concerned about your safety, Miko Hime."
"My current situation does not allow for a toast, please forgive me." After exchanging simple greetings, Melifis put on a forced smile and said: "Congratulations, Mr. Cushmont, both you and your daughter have experienced that.
However, it is really a pity that Lord Gucimont and Sister Limis sacrificed their lives in this turmoil and cannot be resurrected, and this time you are also disqualified from the eternal feast, but you
My daughter’s ex-fiancé did something like that. If things don’t go well, please forgive me and be patient.”
It sounds like these words are very irritating, and the nobles' eye contact is more sharp. They are probably judging the phenomenon caused by these words and the current state of Melphis.
Observation is necessary. Although Liz thoughtlessly told them to show them her "hard work and sacrifice", Melissa didn't know that the recent turmoil contained "goblin games" and felt that the hidden nobles had been confirmed at this time.
Is it normal for enemies to use greetings to explore the reality of the temple?
"Ahem, I'm sorry. Maybe I shouldn't say this. However, all major families and armies have made great efforts to protect the imperial capital and the temple. However, due to the rules of the temple, they cannot resurrect your sacrificed people for free.
, as Miko Hime, I really don’t know how to express my gratitude.”
"What are you talking about! Miko Hime, as the nobles of the empire, we not only have to protect the temple that brings prosperity to the empire, but it is also our obligation to protect the empire and its people."
"That's right, those guys who are the same as the former crown prince and those who are cowards are not qualified to enjoy the preferential treatment of the temple."
"No, if you have good hands and feet but don't fulfill your duty of protection, then you are disqualified as a human being, right? You must know that there are many of our relatives and ancestors in the temple."
The nobles kept nodding while talking.
Melphis was a little disappointed. Spiritual magic has been quietly used. If this is the case, even if it is just a scene, it can be regarded as the truth. Many nobles are very good at this, but it is said that the temple uses spiritual magic.
It’s the norm, so some people who harbor Xiao Jiujiu’s intentions have developed the technique of “even I believe my lies”.
Merriface, who wished there was no such person in front of her, secretly complained that she had relied too much on spiritual magic when she needed to tell the truth over the years, and had not developed the psychological skills to see through such people.
"I came here this time not just to say thank you, but do you have anything private rather than national? The empire is not at peace right now. It would be great if there was something I could do now." Melphis asked.
If it's a national matter, then it should be to contact Drest. If it's to Miko Hime, it's either a private matter, or something related to the high-ranking goblin above her or Hecadia.
"Oh. Miko Hime, you are right, but now that the quelling of the rebellion is coming to an end, our minds should not continue to be entangled with those rebels."
"Exactly, so that you, who have been kind to us, can receive corresponding honors, and learn from this lesson, our employment relationship with the elf priests and priests should also be changed."
After hearing this, Merriface probably understood that although the usual medical and social basic services can be obtained by paying fees to the Fairy Temple, there are also those who use long-term contracts to pay some Alice and Midori as family employees.
Rich people and nobles.
Over time, some unspeakable relationships will develop between fairies and humans. I am afraid they hope to take advantage of this turmoil to strengthen their relationship and legalize some things for the sake of greater security.
As for the empire, they have their own solutions. For the temple, the leader Drest can make the decision. However, it is not just the leader who can decide when it comes to Alice and Midori, the biological children of Crowenpis.
If Empis nods, it will turn out to be a veto or death in the end. Then it is best to find Meliphis, who has the most opportunities to speak beautifully with the high-ranking enchantress.
Let's test their resolve a little bit.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't go out and accept honors in public right now. If possible, but...well, I hope I can have a specific plan and budget."
To this, the nobles directly agreed.
Although what Melphis wanted to express was that she was asking for any benefits, they should understand.
Merriface knew how to use a toy to make Clawnpis think "It seems interesting, let's try it" and then use her own child to make fun of it. After all, it was just to drink the child's nectar without changing her expression.
Even if she was tired of being the "parent" of a group of children, it would probably be after these people in front of her entered the cemetery.
Melphis thought of the recent losses in the Imperial Temple, and said: "There is a shortage of manpower in the Temple recently. Do you have any suitable candidates to recommend? In particular, I am very interested in the daughter of His Highness the Marquis of Cushmont. She is better than me as a human being."
She must have been more capable during her peak period. Since there is no one of good family in the country to marry, and her value does not allow her to marry abroad, it feels so pitiful. How about giving it to the temple?"
In fact, doing this will cause other problems, but it will definitely pass if there are many nobles supporting it. The fact that Fundirete is a "weak woman" no matter what has not changed.
Marquis Guchimonte was stunned for a moment. Seeing that the others had no objection at all, he said: "It's just as you said. However, I have to consult my daughter's opinion. Moreover, I must ensure that if I need to transfer work abroad, I must not engage in political affairs."
Any activity related to that is.”
"Ah, this is indeed a problem for women of great nobility to join the religion. This should be included in the plan you are preparing together with the request I made just now." Melphis said.
