Cherchen left the embassy. When he left, he didn''t even say goodbye, and the loud sound of closing the door implied Cherchen''s inner anger.
"It''s very rude, Natalie. You can see it, and tell me exactly. This alvar Chechen just made some achievements because of God''s blessing. He''s so lawless. He doesn''t think about his identity!" goshenovsky said angrily.
Gorshenovsky is a big family of the Republic of Poland. Several generations of patriarchs take it as their duty to maintain the tradition of the Republic. What he despises most is that Cherchen is a foreigner with no foundation.
"Duke, Chechen is just a temporary anger. Please don''t mind. Besides, what he said is not unreasonable. We really should be careful of Muhammad gley''s reneging." Natalie defended Chechen.
"When, of course! Of course I will be on guard." goshenovsky said bravely when Natalie spoke for Chechen. He had no choice but to be confident in the integrity of Muhammad gray and the money given by the Republic, but he had to stick to it in order not to lose face in front of future generations.
And Natalie was uneasy about leaving because of Chechen''s anger, and she didn''t recognize that there was no truth in gorshenovsky''s words.
"That''s good. Then, Duke, I''m a little tired. If there''s nothing to do, I''ll go back to my room to rest." Natalie said goodbye to gorshenovsky, and then went out without waiting for gorshenovsky''s consent.
Looking at Natalie''s leaving back, goshenovsky muttered discontentedly, "the world is getting worse and the people''s heart is not ancient. Now even the children of the kishka family have become so uneducated."
Gorshenovsky closed the door. He opened his Bible and began to read it. Gorshenovsky has carried this Bible with him since he was 12 years old. He reviews and reads it three times a day without interruption.
The night outside is very quiet. I can''t still hear the sound of the waves beating the rocks. The stars in the sky and the light of fireflies complement each other, and goshenovsky''s reading voice came out of the window and spread far away.
"It''s awful!"
The voice was faintly heard on the Cherchen night on the minaret of the bergzisalai palace. He took a gulp of wine, then took a gulp of the wine in his beard and complained to the night.
Of course, Chechen''s complaint can''t stop gorshenovsky. When the wind was downwind, the sound still came into his ears.
"Damn it!"
Chechen threw the bottle down the tower.
The sound of wine bottle cracking cut through the quiet night sky and stopped the chanting.
After another meeting, there was a sound of footsteps behind Chechen.
The man stopped behind Chechen.
Then a gentle voice asked, "Chechen, what''s the matter with you?"
It''s Christina.
Chechen turned his head. At this time, Christina was wearing a simple half breastplate. Her originally tied hair was draped over her shoulders, emitting a light golden light under the night light.
"It''s my sister. I''m fine. I just can''t sleep."
Chechen turned his head away. He didn''t want Christina''s sister to know what was bothering him now - Christina''s sister had helped herself enough.
Christina didn''t ask. She understood that Chechen didn''t want to say that she didn''t want to worry herself. Christina came to Cherchen and leaned on the railing.
"After this, I want to go," Christina said.
Chechen didn''t expect Christina to leave. She looked at Christina in surprise and couldn''t speak for a moment.
Although Christina is sad, she doesn''t want to make the parting seem heavy. She said faintly: "the delegation of the Republic of Poland has also come. I believe you can complete the task and return to Poland immediately. There will be countless wealth and honors waiting for you at that time. My sister came because you were worried that you could not complete this important task. Now I can leave at ease."
Che Chen was going to blurt out "things are not so simple", but he swallowed it again. Christina''s sister is leaving. Why should she worry? Isn''t it better to be happy?
"So, sister, where are you going?" Chechen asked.
"I''m going to the Holy See. I went to Rome once a long time ago, which was unforgettable. Later, the Pope wrote several times to invite me to go to the Vatican again, but it was a pity that I didn''t make the trip because of all the delays. This time, I can finally fulfill my wish again." Christina looked forward to it.
In fact, on Christmas day, Christina knelt in front of the altar of St. Peter''s Cathedral and received the sacrament of the Pope himself. Therefore, Christina was named "Christina Alexandra" - Alexandra, who not only honored Pope Alexander VII, but also commemorated Alexander the great she admired.
As Christina was the most prominent convert to Catholicism and the most famous woman at that time, Pope Alexander VII regarded Christina''s coming to Rome as a great victory in his papal career. In order to attract her attention, Pope Alexander VII held many fireworks, acrobatics, operas, fighting performances and horse long gun competitions for Christina. Christina was welcomed by 6000 people at the villa Doria panfili and watched the performance of camels and elephants carrying towers in Oriental costumes.
"The Holy See?"
Chechen thought. Sister Christina is relieved to go to Rome. After all, no matter how long kazimiz''s hand was, it could not reach under the Pope''s eyes.
"Well, I wish you a pleasant journey," said Chechen.
"Well, yes. I also wish you a career when you return to Poland. My sister will always pay attention in the Vatican." Christina smiled.
A gust of sea breeze blew Christina''s beautiful hair across her delicate side face.
Chechen is a little drunk.
They stood on it for a while and went down the tower. Because the corridor in the minaret was dark, Christina accidentally stepped down when she reached the last step, and she fell in front of her. Chechen quickly grabbed Christina''s hand, which saved Christina from falling.
Christina stood firm. She was about to thank Chechen, but someone outside the Xuanli tower shouted, "Chechen, who is this woman?"
As soon as they looked back, it turned out that Natalie was standing outside the tower door.
Natalie didn''t go to rest after she left gorshenovsky''s room, but went straight to Chechen. She also felt that she had just fallen to the ground on goshenovsky''s side and hurt Cherchen''s heart. After all, Cherchen''s consideration was also for the sake of the Republic. Natalie wants to explain to Chechen that she doesn''t want a gap between them.
But in the place where Chechen lived, Natalie didn''t find Chechen, and Viscount Hesse said that the head didn''t come back. So Natalie looked around. Unexpectedly, when she found Chechen, she saw him with a woman.
Although Christina has short hair and men''s clothes, Natalie''s intuition tells her that the woman next to Chechen is a woman and a very beautiful woman.
Che Chen didn''t know what to do when she was caught by Natalie. Because if Christina is recognized by Natalie, it will be an uproar.
Compared with Chechen, Christina is obviously much calmer. She saluted Natalie and said in pure French, "Hello, Miss Natalie. My name is santinelli, from Italy, and now I work for Cherchen in the mercenary regiment."
Obviously, Christina thinks that her dress as a man has not been seen by Natalie.
Natalie calmed down. When she saw that the woman around Chechen was still hiding her identity, she thought she hadn''t been seen through by herself. She felt a burst of anger in her heart - if you and Chechen really have nothing, why hide it?
Natalie looked up at Christina''s face. She was ready to expose the lie, but she was shocked by Christina''s face.
There is no doubt that Christina is an outstanding beauty. Although she is in her early thirties, the years have not damaged her beauty, but added a few different charm to her, especially when she dressed as a man. However, Natalie is also a beautiful woman. Although she is green and astringent, she will not be inferior to Christina in the future. She is shocked that she has seen and seen her portrait of this woman who calls herself santinelli.
The name under the portrait is Christina.
"Natalie, what''s the matter with you?"
Seeing Natalie''s stupidity, Cherchen, who didn''t know where she was, asked anxiously. He also tried to touch Natalie''s shoulder.
Chechen''s hand touched Natalie''s shoulder. If Natalie was shocked, she stepped back two steps, and then suddenly pulled out her saber.
"Stop pretending, Christina, the former queen of Sweden." Natalie ignored Cherchen and stared at Christina to reveal her true identity.
Seeing her identity was revealed, Christina didn''t know what to say for a moment.
And Chechen blocked the tip of Natalie''s knife and protected Christina behind her.
"Natalie, listen to me."
"What else do you want to say! Aleval Chechen, I trust and love you so much, but you deceived me and betrayed my country!"
Looking at Cherchen, Natalie''s white face ran through tears. She knows everything now.
Why did his majesty search the whole city after the recovery of Warsaw, but he couldn''t find Christina; Why did Cherchen have such a good relationship with Carl X and Swedish generals; Why does Pedro say that if Cherchen is on the Swedish side, his future will be better.
Everything is because he saved Christina. Yes, the former queen of Sweden and the lover of Carl x, no matter who saved such a person, his future is bright.
Seeing Natalie like this, Chechen felt heartache. At the same time, he also knew that Natalie misunderstood.
"Natalie, it''s not what you think," Chechen tried to explain.
But Natalie didn''t give him a chance. Natalie took advantage of Cherchen''s opening, suddenly bullied her, then grabbed Cherchen''s collar and pushed him aside. Then Natalie''s saber slashed Christina behind lechechen.
This is so sudden, even if Christina has to take a step later because Natalie''s action of pushing Chechen away is delayed, the saber still cuts through her half breastplate.
Looking at the scratches on the half breastplate, Christina knew that Natalie had been blinded by anger, and now it was useless to say anything. So she had to pull out a long thin sword to fight.
Although Natalie has learned fencing since childhood and has been guided by famous teachers, she is still inferior to Christina. Moreover, she is still young and lacks strength. However, Christina knows that she is the one Chechen likes, so every move of slender sword leaves room. For a time, the two fought equally.
Chechen got up from the ground. He looked at the two men hiding in the shadow of the sword, not only secretly anxious. He wanted to stop them, but he didn''t know how to intervene, because they were so important to himself.
"Sister Christina, Natalie, don''t fight!" Chechen shouted.
But even if Christina wanted to stop, she didn''t have any chance to stop under the pressure of Natalie.
They played another seven or eight rounds. Finally, Cherchen made up his mind by taking advantage of the opportunity of Cristina and Natalie''s sword. Chechen drew a knife and cut open their weapons, and then dodged in front of Christina.
This action was originally Chechen''s unintentional move, but in Natalie''s eyes, it became Chechen''s criminal evidence on Christina''s side.
"Natalie, listen to me!"
Chechen is waiting to explain, but Natalie is angry and stabs Chechen''s left chest.
Blood flowed down the tip of the knife. Chechen''s face twisted, as if he was suffering a lot. Finally, Chechen couldn''t support it and knelt down on his right leg. The saber in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Seeing Cherchen fall to the ground injured, Christina quickly picked up Cherchen. She tightly covered Cherchen''s wound with her hand, then put Cherchen on her back, and hurried to her residence regardless of Natalie''s possible attack.
At this time, Natalie hung the tip of the knife, and the saber stained with Chechen''s blood was dripping blood on the ground because of gravity. She didn''t move, so she watched them leave without looking at them.
