A strange world

Chapter 650 Chapter 47. Annan is not ready to be a father yet

"Your honor, Your Majesty Bishop."

The Paladin of the Church of Order greets the Archbishop standing in front of the church.

Annan looked at Reiner, as if he saw Colette, and then felt a sense of sadness... Valencia would be suspected by her daughter that she was not the real person, just because he was too good to her...

"Teacher, what's wrong with you?"

Reiner had never seen his teacher look like this...

"Today is Colette's birthday, and I just had a quarrel with her." Annan became more serious and humbly asked for advice: "How do you balance family and church?"

"Have you forgotten, I am an orphan..."

"oh……"

Oh, I am about to be arrested by students again.

But perhaps because of Annan's sadness, Reiner didn't do that immediately and quietly watched him return to the room.

Looking at the pedestrians on the street outside the window, Annan's mind wandered. What would happen if he returned to the north and took a look? Will you see Levi's? Is it too late to stop Augusta?

But today, it should be the same as the Archbishop of Valencia's room, and the scope of activities is limited to Henan City.

Reiner barged in without knocking again, carrying those official duties.

"Put it there." Annan did not turn around and asked Reiner to prepare the carriage and flowers.

"teacher……"

"Not now. I'll deal with these things after I get back from the palace."

"I mean...if my parents were still alive, I would try to balance church and family..."

Reiner is clearly implying that Annan cares about his family...it seems that even the students in Valencia feel that he is too focused on the church.

"Thank you." Annan thanked him sincerely.

He got into the carriage and came to Rosella's house for the third time.

He still presented flowers, but was ridiculed by Colette, and then closed the door hard - Annan did not stretch out his hand to block the crack of the door, because it was really painful.

"There should be other places to go in, right?" Annan looked at Rosella, who was locked out like him.

"Uncle, please come with me."

Rosella led Annan into the mansion through the side door, while Colette was sulking in the living room.

Putting the flowers on the table in front of Colette: "I put off church matters until evening."

"What do you think this has to do with me?"

"Of course." Annan smiled, "Today is your birthday, and I'm going to take you out for a walk."

Colette, who pretended to be an adult with a straight face, opened her mouth cutely.

…

"Do you remember Mrs. Soma? She came to the house several times. And Dies..."

What happened next was the same as yesterday, even the order had not changed.

Annan thought about what a smart girl she was and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, my attention was all on the church at that time, so I don't have much impression..."

"Father..." Colette whispered with feeling.

Annan smiled: "You have never called me that."

Colette said nothing, but her eyes gradually turned red, and after a while she whispered: "You have never treated me like this..."

Annan didn't want to make both of them cry: "Actually, I treated you when you were young..."

"Let's talk about what happened at that time..."

Annan knew nothing, but he could make it up—and neither did Colette.

At some point, Colette took Annan's arm.

"Look, Colette never hated you."

Annan said softly to Valencia who was watching all this.

"what did you say?"

"I said, maybe I did something wrong in the past..."

The hand wrapped around his arm tightened.

"I do not blame you……"

Annan smiled deliberately and said, "If I hadn't been with you today, you wouldn't have said that..."

Colette let go of him, but she wasn't really angry. Instead, she walked quickly and came to the window of a flower shop.

"Miss, these are flowers shipped from Huadu. What do you want?" the clerk asked.

Colette turned back: "Did you buy the flowers from here?"

"Actually, I got it from the church..."

"I guess so. I'll go in and pick some." Colette walked briskly into the display window.

Annan happily watched Colette in the window talking to the clerk, almost thinking that he was going to succeed - but then he saw a white shadow passing by in front of him.

The ghosts of the paladins and priests of the Church of Order are still lingering...

Annan suddenly turned around and walked quickly to the other side of the street. There were fewer and fewer people around but he still didn't stop. At some point, a group of paladins and priests blocked him.

Annan turned around and saw that this place was far away from the flower shop.

"I haven't seen the princess yet..." Annan said helplessly. He had never "lived" until night.

The old priest's old eyes were full of sharpness: "Are you still related to the princess?"

"Do you believe me when I say that the princess is the 'murderer' who commissioned me to do this?" Annan said casually, but he told the truth.

The princess asked him to find the strange body, and Valencia said she would give him the body after completing the task.

Reiner looked shocked: "He didn't lie..."

"Calm down!"

The old priest stared at Annan, "He can make Valencia disappear. It's easy to deceive the Power Word."

Reiner approached Annan with a complicated look in his eyes, as if he didn't want to believe that the current Valencia was fake.

"Really?" he couldn't help but ask.

"Just think it's true..." Annan reached out his hand, "But don't tell Lily... I don't want to make her sad anymore."

"...who are you?"

"I am indeed Valencia in a way..."

Reiner took a deep breath: "You are not."

"But at least Valencia didn't object, at least he asked me to do it."

Still the truth...

The wrinkles on the old priest's face deepened, realizing that they were involved in some kind of complicated whirlpool.

"Take me away quickly, don't be with Lily——"

Annan suddenly saw Colette standing quietly on the outside, holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand - Annan guessed that it was what she wanted to give to him.

He first glared at the old priest and Reiner angrily, apologized, and said to her gently: "I'm sorry, I won't let you go through this again next time."

After saying that, she didn't dare to look at Colette again, lowered her head and let them take her away.

…

In the deepest part of the church dungeon, Annan looked at Reiner who appeared outside.

"what's wrong with you?"

"What?"

"I can't think of where I was exposed. Could it be that not knocking on the door was your test?"

Reiner did not deny it: "The teacher doesn't like me very much."

It seems that the third time can be avoided... But Annan still refused to complain: "Then you still do it!"

Reiner couldn't help but ask: "Do I know you? Why do I feel like you..."

"If you want to know the answer, just wait until tomorrow."

"good."

Reiner left, but Colette didn't come.

Late at night, Annan came out from January 17th.

"What's wrong with your students? They like to arrest their own teachers when nothing happens?" Annan couldn't help complaining.

"They know me very well. When you do something that is not in line with me, they will become suspicious and tempted... Doubts will accumulate like snowflakes." The Archbishop of Valencia said with a gratification that made Annan unhappy.

"But you really have a good daughter. She called me father and bought me a bouquet of flowers..." Annan said deliberately.

This time it was Valencia who was unhappy.
