The nun with black stockings is actually a boy?

"Oh? Today is the day I can answer, right? Once I refuse, it won't be the day anymore." Helen turned to Jeanne and said, "Miss Jeanne who likes other people's feet."

Strangely, Joan of Arc did not refute angrily, but looked away with a blushing face.

Natalie, a veteran foot fetishist, suddenly widened her eyes, and her gaze instantly became clear, as if she saw a new enemy.

Thinking that Joan of Arc would be speechless if she confronted her, Helen confidently and proudly stepped out with her black silk-wrapped feet to follow Arthur.

Eudocia's tea party was different from the other young ladies' afternoon tea and cakes, and gossiping on the lawn or garden. Instead, the tea party was held on the national weapon, and some foreign guests were even invited.

Her purpose in doing this was simple. It was to show off her strength to Frank, with whom she had a good relationship, and also to attract some young talents who were worth making friends with.

"Welcome everyone, Your Highness has been waiting for a long time."

The Black Rose veteran Badis, who was guarding the door, saluted Helen and others.

The dinner was small, with only a dozen people, and it was held on the deck of a battleship. However, considering that it was a royal private dinner, it was normal that there were few people. But except for Natalie, the people who came were either royal relatives, foreign ambassadors or nobles.

Among them was Helen's acquaintance, the third princess Irina.

The other person also saw Helen, and his originally timid and frightened expression suddenly revealed a hint of joy.

Just as she was about to take a step, Eudocia, who was standing in the main seat, walked towards Helen and arrived in front of Helen and her group before her sister.

"Welcome Miss Joan of Arc, it's an honor to have you here," Eudocia said.

Joan of Arc bowed politely, "I am deeply honored to receive your invitation, Your Highness."

Eudocia smiled and turned to look at Helen. "It is truly a delightful tea party today that my future princess can be with the Saint."

"Happy?" Helen didn't give in. She took out Eudocia's letter of appointment from her bosom and said, "I now refuse all the requirements and appointments in this letter of appointment."

The scene suddenly fell into silence, and the originally lively dinner became quiet.

Throughout history, those who were granted the title of concubine always declined politely or in writing, rather than refusing in person, as this would offend the royal family.

A slight smile played on Helen's lips.

Unexpectedly, Eudocia smiled and covered her mouth with her hands, then shouted to Badis who was guarding the door: "Go and get the second letter of conferring the title of consort."

Helen's smile froze.

Badis suppressed his smile, said yes, and turned to leave.

Chapter 65: Come to my room at night~

When Helen saw the new letter of appointment as queen, she was devastated and even desperate.

Because the other party was the current Roman royal family, he had no way to refuse and could only accept the letter of consort given to him by Eudocia.

When Helen took the title letter with an unhappy look on her face, the silent atmosphere at the banquet disappeared and became lively again. It was just a small quarrel between Eudocia and Helen.

After Eudocia raised her glass to congratulate the imperial army's victory, everyone started chatting and having fun, preparing for tomorrow's tea party.

The fourth prince Nero, who was present at the banquet, walked up to Helen.

This startled Helen, who was thinking of taking some roasted lamb legs back home, and she turned to look at Nero who was approaching her.

Helen bowed politely, "Your Highness, your Highness."

"Do you want me to make you my queen?" Nero asked with a smile.

"Your Highness, please don't bother me. I've already been consort three times. If you come again, I'll be very distressed." Helen smiled on the surface, but was speechless in her heart.

His sexual orientation is normal, okay? He likes beautiful girls and that kind of thing.

"Okay, I'm just making a suggestion." Nero said with good intentions, "I heard you have a good relationship with the Bloody Hand Gang, and it seems you're highly regarded by Marco?"

Helen narrowed her eyes and said, "Your Highness, maybe you recognized the wrong person? I am just a pious (Qian Chen) nun."

"I have friends in the Blood Hand Gang. I don't care how you gain recognition or whether you're Marco's illegitimate daughter." Nero picked up the wine on the table. "I can discuss cooperation with any of my friends."

Helen fell silent after hearing this.

In the previous game, Nero was the representative of business and the agent of the Chamber of Commerce. Later, when Constantinople fell, this guy ran away with the Venetians.

Since ancient times, the favors between Constantinople and the Venetians have been countless, so there is nothing wrong with him going to Venice.

But this guy wanted to use the power of the Venetians to fight back to Constantinople, but Venice, which was frightened by the goblins, thought it better to give up. The two sides kept arguing with each other, and until Nero died of illness, the Venetians did not send a warship to the goblins.

After the Venetians gave Nero a grand funeral, they immediately and seamlessly knelt before the goblins, sending merchant ships to trade with the goblins and obtaining the same tax-free privileges as Rome had in the past.

In short, Helen didn't have much aversion to this young and ambitious prince. It was just that he had schemes and ambitions but lacked strength. Furthermore, he had already cooperated with Eudocia, and he was afraid that Eudocia would misunderstand him.

"Maybe we can discuss it later?" Helen picked up the small cake on the table and prepared to leave.

"Well, I have a vacant manor in the upper city. Maybe you can consider going there?" Seeing that Helen was about to leave, Nero immediately made an offer.

Helen smiled calmly upon hearing this, "Your Highness, we will discuss this in detail tomorrow."

With that, he left, leaving Nero alone at the table sighing.

"Oh, what a tempting little cake, but it's too flat and not my cup of tea." Nero shook his head and picked up the grape bread on the table and started eating.

On the other side, Helen came to the relatively quiet dining table to solve the problem of her rumbling stomach and think about the gains and losses of what had just happened.

Nero did give a lot, a manor in the upper city, whose value was immeasurable, but under the impending goblin butcher knife, this thing was no better than waste paper.

Even if it were to be auctioned, no one would dare to buy this former royal private estate, so it was right to refuse decisively.

In Eudocia's eyes, this was a good sign of cooperation.

His main purpose now was to persuade Eudocia to find a way out after the fall of Constantinople.

If the western passage was blocked, the only option would be to evacuate by sea on Eudocia's well-armed ship, the Jackdaw.

"Hey, Helen, I did it for you."

Just as Helen was thinking, a shy and timid voice sounded in her ears.

Helen was startled and turned her head to see that it was the third princess Irina.

"Your Highness?"

"Ah."

"Thank you for what happened that night." Helen said, and placed the small cake in her hand on Irina's plate.

Hearing this, Irina looked shy, lowered her head and said thank you.

"Don't be so polite. We've been through this together." Helen knew that Irina was introverted and timid, so she softened her tone and deliberately didn't call her "Your Highness" in order to let her feel at ease.

Irina then smiled slightly, and then shyly took small bites of the cake Helen gave her.

"Your Highness, why do you want to make me your consort?" Helen saw Irina approaching her on her own initiative and felt that she could not gain anything from her, so she asked boldly.

Irina, who was eating a small cake, froze in place when she heard this, her pink lips covered with cream seemed to be hesitant to speak.

This made Helen, who was asking the question, very confused: "If Your Highness has any unspeakable secrets, you don't have to say it~"

"No, nothing happened, it's just... your style is very similar to my mother's." Irina finished her words, her voice so low that it was almost inaudible.

"Looks a lot like your mother?" Helen didn't know how to answer.

It's bad enough that he, a boy, looks like someone else's mother, but he also looks like the deceased queen. If this gets out, he will have to enter the palace, but he doesn't know whose palace it will be.

"Well, she has some little thoughts, but not many. She's very gentle and willing to protect me from the wind and rain." Irina came to her senses as she spoke and covered her mouth with her hand. "Sorry for saying so much."

"It's okay." Helen reached out and patted Irina's shoulder.

Irina hummed, said thank you shyly, and then whispered: "I will come to your room to play with you in the evening."

Helen：???

Before Helen could say anything, Irina left with a blushing face and a hint of joy, like a little girl who got candy.

"Come to my room?" Helen felt a sense of unease.

He still has the seductive energy suppressed in his body, and it will probably explode today. He plans to knock himself out and get through the night.

"It seems you and my sister are getting along well, thank you."

A cold yet charming voice sounded behind Helen.

Helen immediately narrowed her eyes and showed a helpless expression.

Is he some kind of royal gift? Why are all the princesses and princes coming to see him?

"Your Highness." Helen turned and saluted Eudocia. "Thank you, it's really flattering."

Eudocia took a sip of the juice in her hand and said, "Stand up. Thank you, Ai Fei, not for accompanying my sister, but for saving my sister last time."

Helen raised her eyebrows, stood up and said to Eudocia, "Don't forget, I am the leading party of the cooperation. I want to discuss something with Your Highness."

When she thought about losing to Helen, Eudocia felt dissatisfied and said, "Okay, I'll go to your room tonight."

After saying that, she walked away without waiting for Helen to answer, leaving Helen with a look of surprise.

You want to come to my room too?

Chapter 66: The room is almost full

The last ray of sunset light in the sky has not yet completely dissipated, and a little light can be seen through the thick dark clouds.

On the sea, the Jackdaw lay quietly on the waves like a sleeping steel giant.

As the roar of the engine gradually rose, the warship began to slowly leave the port, like an awakened giant beast emerging from its cave, causing waves.

The sea water rolled on both sides of the ship, and the propeller at the stern turned, stirring up high splashes of water. Those water droplets sparkled with dazzling brilliance under the setting sun.

"Why did it start, Helen?" Natalie came to Helen and asked anxiously.

Helen smiled and shrugged, then quickly explained, "The tea party will last for two days, and I won't be back until the morning after tomorrow."

"We're having a tea party at sea?" Natalie asked in surprise, then lowered her voice. "Then how are we going to deal with the incoming enemies?"

"Don't worry, I have a way. At worst, we still have Commander Arthur on the field." After Helen said this, she turned her head to look at Arthur who was surrounded by noble girls on the field.

Suddenly, a guard came up to Arthur and whispered a few words. Arthur's expression instantly became serious. He immediately walked towards Eudocia and saluted her. "Your Highness, the Night's Watch has found Davis who has escaped. He is very powerful and I need to arrest him. I will excuse myself for the time being."

Eudocia raised her head and ordered, "Stand up, and do it boldly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Arthur stood up and said yes, then jumped from the warship to the dock on the shore and rushed away.

Looking at Arthur leaving, Natalie looked at Helen blankly.

Helen was sweating profusely. "Well, we have to believe in ourselves. We are strong enough to handle any difficulties."

"Is this the power of a 4th-level Paladin?" Natalie said in surprise.

Helen nodded. "Yes, after level 4, the Paladin's physical body is greatly strengthened, and it can even defend against firearms, let alone this distance."

"Can you do it?" Natalie asked back.

Helen shook her head. "We are spellcasters. This kind of thing requires us to be at least level 5."

"Level 5? I'm afraid we'll never reach it in our lifetime." Natalie heard this and immediately complained, "Luckily you bought the ice broom, otherwise I would be shocked by this scene for the rest of my life."

At the end of her words, Natalie began to mutter something like "I wish I could be as handsome as you."

Helen covered her mouth and smiled, then reached out and touched Natalie's head, "I promise that your future achievements will exceed level 5."

Natalie looked up at Helen in surprise.

Helen withdrew her hand and smiled seductively: "Don't you believe me?"

"No, I just think you're as gentle as my mother."

"what?"

"Ha, just kidding." Natalie smiled calmly, then lowered her voice and said, "Helen, do you know how to play Lute?"

"Hmm?" Helen thought for a moment and then shook her head. "I understand the rules a little bit, but I don't play much."

Although he was an authentic life-style player in his previous life and had played games in "Guns & Magic", the planning was terrible and the balance was terrible. Some cards had to be obtained in high-difficulty dungeons, so he gradually quit the game.

"Oh? Okay, I'll go to your room tonight and teach you how to play cards!" Natalie said, and left excitedly, as if to make preparations.
