Mrs. Durr, whom they had met twice, walked in with a smile, sat down elegantly opposite them, and introduced herself: “I am Daisy Durr, the current head of the Holy Chamber of Commerce. I heard that you two didn’t bring any money? I will take the initiative to wipe the debt for you two, as a way of making friends, how about it?”
Luo Mi looked at the woman unexpectedly and found that she didn’t even look at him. Her eyes were full of affection and were always fixed on Anos. Suddenly, he realized something and felt a little expectant: If Anos had lustful thoughts about her, wouldn’t that be equivalent to exposing his depravity?
If he knew the more advanced succubus skills, he would have cast a few charm spells on Anos right now.
Mrs. Durr was extremely beautiful, well-dressed, and had a natural charm in her every move. She also had the reserve and elegance that only nobles had, and occasionally exuded a subtle temptation. Luo Mi felt that she was more like a succubus than him and couldn’t help but look forward to it.
Anos silently raised his vigilance and said calmly: “Someone will send the money over soon, and we will not default on the debt.”
Daisy Durr covered her mouth and chuckled: “Your Highness, why do you have to be so cautious? The Holy Chamber of Commerce is originally an industry of the Holy See. Isn’t it reasonable for us not to accept your money?”
Anos was not surprised that the other party recognized his identity. He just refuted seriously: “I have to pay.”
Daisy giggled and flirted boldly with Anos: “Your Highness is really interesting. Daisy hasn’t met a man as lovely as you for a long time.”
Luo Mi felt a chill in his heart after hearing this, and silently said to the system: “I have heard a saying before, if a woman praises you for being cute, it means that she has no interest in having a relationship between man and woman with you.”
[If the Holy Son was so easily tempted, it would not be the host’s turn to do the mission.]
Luo Mi thought about it and was not discouraged. He was ready to encourage Anos to get close to Mrs. Durr as soon as he had the chance.
Anos showed no joy at Daisy Durr’s compliment and just thanked her politely.
Daisy didn’t mind Anos’s politeness and said softly, “I heard that there were some misunderstandings between Your Highness and Archbishop Ellis. If Your Highness doesn’t mind, Daisy is willing to mediate for Your Highness.”
Anos glanced at her and didn’t accept it: “This is an internal matter of the Vatican.”
Daisy chuckled again. “That being said, I am very worried that if Archbishop Ellis is dismissed for offending the Holy See, the next Archbishop may not be so considerate of the common people and our Durr family. His Excellency the Archbishop is an excellent person. Apart from him, I am afraid no one in our city of Losa wants him to step down.”
As for who “that one” was, Daisy did not say clearly.
Anos’s eyes narrowed, and he did not ask what Daisy meant by that. Instead, he asked, “Are you familiar with Archbishop Ellis?”
Daisy smiled and said, “Of course, I was baptized by the Archbishop himself.”
Luo Mi felt very strange: According to his investigation last night, Daisy Durr should be in the same group as Balk Sheen, so why was she actively showing goodwill and hinting to Anos now? Whose side was she on?
Anos hesitated for a moment before asking, “Are His Excellency the Archbishop and Count Sheen at odds?”
Daisy smiled and said, “The Count is a devout believer, and the Archbishop is a kind pastor, but they have different opinions on who should be the dominant position between the Church and the Lord.”
This was said very bluntly, and Anos looked at her just as bluntly: “Whose side is Mrs. Durr on?”
Daisy groaned and covered her mouth gently. “The Durr family was appointed by the Archbishop to run the Sacred Chamber of Commerce, but they are also citizens of Reed County. Your Highness, whose side do you think I should stand on?”
Even though Anos was not deeply involved in the secular world, he knew that when theocracy and feudal sovereignty were in conflict, the person in the middle had the most difficult decision to make.
What he didn’t expect was that Daisy Durr quickly put down her hand and said with a smile: “Of course I stand on the side of the archbishop.”
Luo Mi raised his eyebrows slightly, suspecting that this woman was a fence-sitter.
Anos obviously had the same idea and did not say anything about Daisy’s confession.
“It is normal for His Royal Highness to have doubts…”
At this moment, Daisy’s eyes suddenly fell on Luo Mi. She gently tucked her hair at the temples and blinked her amber eyes. “Last night, this succubus was in the Count’s room, right? No need to deny it so quickly.”
She stretched out her hand and fanned her nose, smiling, “My sense of smell is much sharper than that of ordinary people. I can smell subtle differences in smells.”
Luo Mi and Anos looked at each other.
Luo Mi said, “Madam Durr, you are Count Sheen’s lover, shouldn’t you stand with him?”
Daisy chuckled again: “The Count and I just get what we need from each other, but my faith in the Archbishop and the Holy See is firm.”
Luo Mi deliberately looked at Anos, wanting to see if Anos could tell whether Daisy was lying.
Anos nodded calmly: “God will see your piety, Mrs. Durr.”
Luo Mi touched his chin: Is it true?
Anos’s expression showed no joy, he just asked: “So what is the purpose of you telling me this today?”
Daisy picked up a piece of chalk and examined it for a while before putting it down again. Her expression was still charming and smiling. “I just hope that Your Highness will be careful. The Count is a man with a strong desire for control and is a bit paranoid. Once he sets his eyes on something, he will get it at all costs.”
Anos raised his light golden eyebrows and nodded to indicate that he remembered.
Daisy smiled, turned to look at Anos and Luo Mi, and blinked again: “I wonder if I can have the honor to be treated to a meal by two handsome men?”
Luo Mi looked at Anos anxiously, and almost agreed to it on his behalf.
Anos silently looked at the undisguised expectation in Luo Mi’s eyes and said politely with the corners of his lips flat, “No need, we have something else to do at noon.”
