Zhang Yanling and Helena saw this and took advantage of the chaos to walk toward the west intersection of the square with their heads lowered.
But as soon as he reached the outer perimeter, he was stopped by guards.
"What are you doing? Don't walk around. Don't come near the front." A guard shouted.
"We are the entourage of Miss Catherine's Governor's Mansion." Helena said hurriedly.
The guard was a little dazed, but hearing that Helena spoke fluent native language, it was obvious that she was from France, and he didn't know whether he should stop her.
"Miss Catherine, Miss Catherine. They won't let me pass," Helena shouted.
Catherine walked over quickly, and several guards hurriedly saluted and said: "Miss Catherine, what can I do for you?"
Catherine nodded and smiled: "Please let her come over, she is from my Governor's Mansion."
Helena said: "There is also him, the cook of our Governor's Mansion. Miss Catherine, our cook has been invited for you so that you can eat the most authentic local dishes."
Catherine was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that the man standing next to Helena must be with Helena. So she nodded and said: "Very good, things went well. Let's go. Go home."
How could the guards dare to stop them at this moment, so they all saluted and watched Catherine leading the two people to the intersection where the carriages gathered.
On the stone platform, Governor Goya frowned and looked at these people with a somewhat puzzled expression. He waved, and an attendant stretched his neck to come over.
"Go tell Butler Silva and find out the identities of the two people following the lady. Why did Catherine take them away?"
The follower nodded quickly, jumped off the stone platform and walked quickly towards the place where the carriage was parked.
In this compartment, Catherine endured her excitement and led Helena and the unknown man towards the parked carriage. The butler Silva saw them from a distance and hurriedly came up to greet them.
"Miss Catherine, are you going back?"
"Yes, I feel a little uncomfortable, so I told my father that I need to go home first. Mr. Silva, my father wants you to take me back, but I think it's better for you to stay and follow the Governor. This sermon will continue.
By noon, my father will be very tired by then, so you stay for a while to accompany the Governor. I am worried about others." Catherine smiled.
Silva said: "But who will drive for you?"
Catherine said: "Just find any attendant."
Zhang Yanling reached out and squeezed Helena's hand. Helena understood and said, "Miss Catherine, we can drive."
Catherine smiled and said: "That's even better, Butler Silva, there is no need to arrange it, there is someone here who can drive."
Silva had long noticed the two men in black robes behind Catherine and frowned: "Who are these two?"
Catherine said: "They are the cooks I hired. I happened to meet them here, so I took them back together. Doesn't my father often complain that the food is not delicious? I hired two cooks, and they are the best cooks in the West District. Today
Let them prepare a table of delicious dishes at night and give your father a surprise. You don't have to tell him. This is my filial piety."
Silva was a little puzzled. There were many cooks in the kitchen at home. The Governor was very particular about food and drink, and paid special attention to the affairs of the cooks. However, he had never heard of him complaining about the recent food. But maybe he had not complained in front of him.
Miss Catherine complained before.
"Miss Catherine, this is not good. You can't go back without someone. If something goes wrong on the way, what should you do? I'd better take you back." Silva said solemnly.
"I know, are you afraid that I will run away? Just ask a few guards to escort me back on horseback. If you want to send me back, aren't you just monitoring me to prevent me from escaping? Where can I escape to a place like this?
?Mr. Silva, you are worrying too much." Catherine said solemnly.
Silva was told what she was thinking. Recently, due to the marriage between Miss Catherine and Mr. Alfonso, Miss Catherine and her father, the Governor, were very unhappy. The Governor had privately warned Catherine to keep an eye on her to prevent her from escaping secretly. So,
Only then did Silva insist on sending it away.
"Mr. Silva, I feel more and more uncomfortable. I have to go back and rest quickly. I can't breathe. You can follow me if you want. Anyway, don't get in my car."
Catherine didn't want to have a long night and dream, so she walked towards the carriage. Helena helped her get into the carriage and sat on the back seat with her. Zhang Yanling untied the horse and got into the driver's seat.
Silva thought for a while, then waved over a few cavalry guards and ordered them to get on their horses and escort the young lady back to the West End Manor. He didn't want to offend Catherine, otherwise it would be of no benefit to him. Besides, there would be no mistakes if there was a cavalry escort.
The carriage started slowly, and several cavalry escorted it back and forth. It quickly accelerated and sped along the west street. Butler Silva turned around with a curled lips, and saw an entourage from the Governor's Palace approaching quickly.
"Mr. Silva, where is Miss Catherine? Where are the two believers with her?"
Silva glanced at him and said: "Let's go. Go back to the manor. What? Mr. Allen is here to check my work, right?"
The attendant hurriedly said: "Mr. Silva, don't get me wrong. It was the Governor who asked me to ask about the identities of those two people. The Governor said that he wanted you to accompany Miss Catherine back. Why didn't Mr. Silva accompany him?"
Silva sneered: "If Miss Catherine doesn't let me, do I have to go against Miss Catherine's wishes? Those two people are friends of Miss Catherine. Miss Catherine invited them to go to the manor to do things. Do I want to stop them? Captain Keitel personally led
With a cavalry escort, what else does Mr. Allen have to reprimand?"
The attendant hurriedly said: "I don't dare, I don't dare."
Silva sneered, turned and walked away. The attendant was annoyed, but did not dare to show it. A crisp bell sounded, and under the cross on the stone platform, Father Markle shook the bell in his hand. The congregants sat down one after another. The second half
The sermon began.
In the carriage, Catherine held Helena's hand tightly with both hands. The two could not speak or talk, but their eyes were already wet. The two good friends were full of things to say to each other, but they could not say anything.
Under the escort of several knights, the carriage quickly arrived at the wooden bridge passage on the boundary river in the east and west districts. When passing through the passage checkpoint, Catherine's identity naturally made the checkpoint soldiers dare not make mistakes. They acquiesced that the person driving the carriage was the governor.
The attendant of the palace, and sitting next to Miss Catherine was the maid who served her. With Catherine as a cover, entering the West District checkpoint was extremely smooth.
Soon after, the carriage drove along a wide street and arrived at a huge manor on the west side of the street near the port. That was the manor and official residence of Goya, the governor of Manchuria.
The huge garden has lush trees and flowers. Although the manor castle is not as majestic as Helena's manor castle, it is even more gorgeous.
Parking the carriage on the lawn of the manor, Zhang Yanling and Helena followed Catherine into the castle. Catherine led them directly to her boudoir on the second floor. As soon as they entered, Catherine closed the door tightly and locked it, and hugged Helena instead.
Together.
"Oh, my Helena, I can see you. I was worried about you. They said you were dead. I cried for several days. But I never believed that you were dead. Sure enough, I
My hunch was right. It’s great that you didn’t die. God bless you. This is the happiest day for me.” Catherine said with a smile while crying.
Helena also burst into tears, hugged Catherine and said: "Catherine, I did almost die, but God blessed me, I was saved. I was shot in the leg and almost went to see God. Catherine, see
You're so nice. How are you? You've lost a lot of weight."
Catherine cried and said: "Poor little Rose, you still remember my fatness and thinness. Helena, please forgive me. I am ashamed of everything my father has done. I didn't expect him to do that. Please forgive me."
Helena said: "What does his matter have to do with you? It is his own sin. If I blamed you, why would I meet you today? It's because I know that you and your father are different. There is no relationship between us.
A true friend will never betray each other. That’s why I dare to recognize you. I am very happy that our friendship has withstood the test. You did not inform me and arrest me."
Catherine smiled bitterly and said: "How could I do that? Doesn't it go against God's teachings? I won't do that."
Helena nodded and smiled and asked: "Do you know the news about my father? Is he...still alive?"
Catherine nodded and said: "Uncle Almeida is still alive, but I heard that he suffered a lot. The devil forced him to hand over power and tortured him, but it is said that he just refused. He would rather die than compromise. Now it is estimated that
I was tortured so much.”
Helena shed tears, not knowing whether to be happy or sad. Catherine wiped Helena's tears with a handkerchief and sighed heavily.
