After entering the city, there was a grand celebration ball. In the Marshal''s house, all the people sang and danced to celebrate the victory.
But not everyone is so happy.
Mikhail vorodyavsky quietly withdrew from the crowd shortly after the banquet began. As everyone''s attention was focused on marshal lubaumatsky, who was pulling Cherchen to perform a funny dance in the middle of the dance hall, not many people noticed his departure.
The little Knight came to Natalie, who was watching Chechen dance happily.
"Countess, can I have a word with you alone?" said the little knight.
When she saw that it was mihaw, Natalie smiled.
"Of course," said Natalie.
So they went to a corner with few people.
Mikhail vorodyavs looked around at no one, then whispered to Natalie, "madam, I hope you don''t mind what I say next."
"Of course not, Mikhail. You are not only a friend of Chechen and me, but also a famous knight in the country. I believe even if you say something to blame me, it will be good for me," Natalie said.
"It''s about Chechen."
"What!?"
Natalie was surprised. She did not expect that Mikhail vorodyavsky would talk to herself about her husband, which caught Natalie a little unprepared.
"Madam," mihau looked around again, "please forgive me for my rudeness. After all, it''s very impolite to talk about her husband in front of an aristocratic wife. But I have to say something. Please believe that I''m doing it for the sake of the Republic and the good of Cherchen."
Listening to the little Knight''s words so aboveboard, I think of him again. Natalie calmed down.
"Go ahead, Mikhail," said Natalie.
So Mikhail vorodyavsky began to speak. What he wants to say is that Chechen handed Prince boguslav over to the imperial food officer today.
"I believe that Cherchen did not do it intentionally, but did not know the current political situation of the Republic. However, his forgiveness of boguslav''s behavior will have extremely serious consequences for the Republic."
"I don''t know what you mean, mihau."
For more than a year, Natalie has stayed in Bratslav with Cherchen. She rarely cares about and understands the political situation of the Republic, so he can''t understand the meaning of the little Knight''s words.
"Madam, when Chechen came back, the Royal dining officer asked the marshal to ensure the safety of boguslav''s life. For this, the marshal agreed and promised that he would plead with his majesty."
"There''s nothing wrong with it?" said Natalie suspiciously. It is very common for one nobleman to save another nobleman in the Republic, and what does this have to do with Cherchen?
"Madam," said the little Knight: "At first I thought it didn''t matter. But then I thought about it and found that things were not so simple. You think, because the marshal opened his mouth and had the face of the imperial catering officer, his Majesty would be hard to refuse. Because if his majesty insisted on business, it would be tantamount to tearing his face with the marshal and offending the imperial catering officer. But think about it, release How serious harm bogusslav will do to the Republic - bogusslav was once one of the unforgivable sinners declared by his majesty. If he is pardoned, other war criminals who have not been pardoned will be cited, and they will ask the king to pardon them one after another. These people have many relatives and friends in the Republic. If they are in trouble at the same time, then Your majesty is bound to be hard to resist. But if the traitors will not be punished and condemned, and they can continue their bright life in the Republic after treason as before treason, then in the future, it will no longer be a crime for the nobles to betray the country, but will become a fashionable and decent behavior, and future generations will rise up and follow suit. And future history books will also Chechen''s mistake in this matter is deeply recorded. "
Hearing the little Knight say so, Natalie also realized the serious historical consequences hidden behind the ordinary event of releasing bogusslav. She covered her face with a feather fan to hide her shock.
After a while, Natalie put down the feather fan. She looked into the eyes of Mikhail vorodyavsky and said, "Knight Mikhail, I understand what you said. But what can I do now?"
Hearing Natalie''s question, mihau was delighted.
He said: "madam, Prince boguslav is now nominally a prisoner of Chechen. Although changing orders day and night is not decent for the noble, I still hope you can persuade him to withdraw the two conditions he put forward before, but firmly demand that Prince boguslav be brought to justice."
Natalie looked embarrassed.
But immediately, her patriotism prevailed. Natalie said firmly, "don''t worry, I''ll let Chechen change his mind."
Mikhail vorodjavsky looked relieved. He stepped back and made a solemn salute to Natalie.
"The Republic will always thank you and Cherchen for your kindness."
Mikhail vorodjavsky and Natalie parted hands. In the middle of the ballroom, the joint dance of Marshal and Chechen continued. Chechen was panting and overwhelmed, while marshal lubaomatsky jumped more and more happily.
The little Knight came to Stefan charnietsky''s commander.
"Natalie, did she promise?" asked the chief soldier.
"She promised."
The commander in chief of charnietsky finally laughed.
"Women in the Republic are so lucky for the country and the nation."
What mihau said to Natalie was not something the little knight had thought of and said himself - he had not yet had such a deep political consciousness. The one who saw all this was the commander of chasnetsky.
However, as commander in chief of charnietsky, he was not suitable to tell Natalie these things directly, so he told mihau his worries and asked mihau to speak as a friend.
"Only in this way, Chechen will offend the marshal and the imperial food officer." mihau sighed.
He was sorry for his friend in this matter. It is conceivable that in this way, Chechen will become the blood feud of the raziweu family.
The commander in chief of charnietsky saw mihau''s guilt. He patted the small knight on the shoulder and said with relief: "the Republic and the king will not forget him. In the future, I will ask your majesty to compensate him for all the losses he lost today."
Mihau nodded.
The commander in chief of charnietsky said again, "I''m going to Poznan tomorrow. I really hope that when I come back, the first good news I hear is that the national thieves have got justice."
