Chapter 1410 “Saint” Jeanne (Part 1)

Harry and Willy were directly responsible for the defeat.

Not only did the two men have their salaries withheld, but they were also stripped of their current official positions.

From now on, Harry is no longer the deputy leader of the Knights of Rachel.

And Willy is no longer the deputy master of the Knights of Michael.

From now on, the two of them are just ordinary knights in their respective knights.

In addition to the news of the defeat of the frontline army, another piece of news - the news of Raymond's death in battle, also reached Pendragon at almost the same time.

It passed into... Su Cheng's ears.

...

...

I still remember that day.

That day, my father became silent as never before.

His face is also quite ugly.

I was still very surprised at that time - my father seemed to be in a bad mood. Why didn't my mother and others go up to comfort him?

Later, when I grew up, I realized that it was not because my mother and others were unwilling to step forward to comfort my father.

It's because the mother and the others don't know how to comfort the father...

My father, who doesn't usually drink much, drank bottle after bottle of wine in the hall.

At that time, many people came to my father and wanted to comfort him. For example - Mr. Jacob, Miss Deng Jiaer, Mr. Enli...

But these people who came to comfort his father were all rejected by his father...

My father didn't see any guests and just kept drinking.

He didn't even eat dinner. He drank until late at night and went back to his room to sleep.

At that time, my mother and the others slept in separate rooms with their father after a long absence, just to leave enough time and space for him to relax.

It was not until noon the next day that my father came out of the room.

After coming out of the room, my father rushed out of the house without saying a word and went straight to Baiyang Palace.

My father went to Baiyang Palace this time for one thing only - to ask for orders from Her Majesty Ilsa to go to war.

My father wanted to go to the front line and personally command the second war to destroy the South.

It was only after I became an adult that I learned from my mother that after my father went to Baiyang Palace, she made a special trip to see my father's bedding.

Father's pillow was so wet that it looked like it had just fallen into water.

…

Rollin Empire, Orleans.

After defeating the 150,000 Britannia army, Barr and the others, under the orders of Bella, led the army to station in Orleans, the current frontline of the Rollin Empire.

The Britannian Army still has a large number of troops stationed in the north of Orleans.

These troops are like swords hanging over the heads of the Luolin people - so that the monarchs and ministers of the Luolin Empire still dare not let down their guard.

In order to deal with a possible new round of invasion by the Britannia Empire, Queen Bella directly asked Barr and the others to lead their 70,000 troops who were originally brought to relieve the siege of Orleans and stationed in Orleans.

Jill is currently in her room taking care of some military matters.

At this moment - Jill suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Then, a thin voice sounded:

"Jill...it's me..."

"Jeanne?"

Of course Jill knew who the owner of this voice was.

These days, this voice can be said to be the voice that Jill is most familiar with.

Gil hurriedly put down all the military affairs at hand, ran to the door and opened it.

The weather is a little cooler now. Jeanna was wearing ordinary cloth and an ordinary cloak, standing in front of Jill's room door with her head slightly lowered.

"Jeanne, what's wrong?"

Jill keenly sensed that Jeanne was in a very low mood now.

After saying "What's wrong?", Jill realized her gaffe and cursed herself for being stupid.

How can we stand and talk at the door of the room?

After realizing that he had made a rude move, Jill turned around, making way for a path leading to his room, and made a "please" gesture towards his room.

"Jean, let's go into the house first. Let's talk slowly after entering the house."

"Um……"

.....

…

Jeanne entered Gil's room.

After receiving the tea from Gill, Jeanne did not drink the tea in the cup, but directly held it in her hand, and then said bluntly:

"Gil... I want to go home... to Donremi Village..."

Hearing Jeanne's words, Jill was stunned.

Then he hurriedly asked:

"Jean, what happened?"

"Why so sudden?"

“…I’m having a hard time here in Orleans…”

Jeanne lowered her already low head even lower.

"It's so strange... Defeat the Britannia Army or something... I obviously just proposed a strategy..."

"Once I came up with a strategy and gave my opinion on when to stop and rest and when to attack, I didn't get much done..."

"But Mr. Barr insists that I am responsible for the specific command of the troops..."

"The people responsible for commanding the troops in combat are obviously you..."

"Putting the credit for commanding the troops in combat on my head... and saying that I am some kind of great hero who saved Orleans and the Rollin Empire..."

"As a result, I now have the title of 'Saint' for some reason..."

"When I go to the street now, I will be surrounded by everyone, shouting 'Long live the Saint'..."

"Without the protection and paving the way for the guards, I can't even go to the street..."

"I hate this kind of life...I don't want to be a 'saint'...I want to go home..."

After saying that, Jeanne raised her head and looked at Gil like a wounded kitten.

"Gil...I want to go home..."

...

Gil had been listening to Jeanne's...painful story silently.

His lips pursed unconsciously, and his hands slowly clenched.

Gil knew the truth of everything.

He knew why Barr wanted to attribute all the credit for repelling the Britannia army to Jeanne.

He knew why Jeanne had the title of "saint" inexplicably.

He also knew...that he couldn't tell Jeanne the truth of everything.

Not only could he not tell Jeanne the truth of everything, but he also had to let Jeanne continue to stay in Orleans and in the army.

Gil racked his brains, thinking of words that could comfort Jeanne.

But no matter how Gil thought, he couldn't think of words that could comfort Jeanne.

The guilt in his heart tortured Gilles, making it impossible for him to say anything that could make Jeanna feel better...

In the end, Gilles could only force out a somewhat ugly smile and said to Jeanna:

"Okay, Jeanna, I will personally take you home after the current situation in the country stabilizes."

"The situation in the country is not stable now, and we don't have the extra time and energy to take you home now."

"It would be too dangerous for you to go home alone. After all, the country is still in chaos, and the wild is now full of "former soldiers" who have fallen into bandits."

"Jeanna, please be patient."

"I promise you!"

Gill's tone became more excited at this time.

"After the situation in the country stabilizes, I will definitely take you back to Domremi Village in person!"
