In most areas and provinces in the interior of the Republic, the shortage of soldiers has gone away from the people. Those who left their hometown because of the war have returned home one after another. They began to reorganize their land, lick their wounds and slowly recover their vitality.

In Natalie\'s hometown, in the last war against the invaders, the Swedish commander besieged in the castle hung a white flag and surrendered. He was willing to hand over all his weapons and plundered money, just for them to leave safely.

Although the hometown was recovered peacefully, the war did no less damage to the territory of the kishka family than elsewhere. More than half of the collar people disappeared, and the men went to the battlefield, leaving only women, old people and children.

When Natalie got back there, the old people, women and children were busy ploughing and sowing winter grain.

As the new Lord, Natalie has exempted everyone from this year\'s tax burden. People are enthusiastic. They work together to rebuild the burned houses so that the warriors who defend their country will not have no tiles when they return.

Everyone believes that this day will not be far away.

During that time, Natalie, like everyone, could only stay in the dilapidated wooden house with a thatched roof, because the family ancestral manor had turned into a piece of white land. But Natalie did not complain or move to Warsaw, Krakow and other big cities, because this is her home and she wants to rebuild her home.

"It\'s really a great leader who is not inferior to yanush kishka." people praised Natalie\'s kindness and spirit of eating and dressing.

But these days, a terrible news came from the local area - Natalie kishka, their young and beautiful female leader, became a monk.

According to a maid of the kishka family, the master has decided to donate half of her property to the monastery, and she will start her nunship career with the green lantern for the rest of her life.

Everyone was confused. Because the LORD was still in high spirits when he left for a place called vidava a few days ago. And the suffering of the motherland is over. In addition to Lithuania and Prussia, Frederick William\'s elector\'s army and Prince boguslav\'s army are still colluding with Carl X and trying to make a final struggle, and other places have been basically liberated.

And those who had betrayed the king now knelt down one by one in front of the king and prayed for forgiveness. Patriotic words kept coming out of their mouths, and their knocked heads sounded louder than the bell of the monastery.

Now, there are no traitors in the Republic, because traitors are no longer profitable.

The most dangerous moment of the motherland has passed, but Natalie, who is most qualified to enjoy the fruits of victory, is going to become a monk. What\'s going on?

Few people know that Natalie\'s heart has been empty since she came back from vidava. She realized that she had no attachment to everything on earth. When her father died, the person she loved also "betrayed" herself. Besides the Lord, what else is worth trusting her heart?

Especially under the harassment of the disillusioned mood, Natalie thought about everything she had encountered. The changes of fate, disappointment and pain she had experienced made her convinced that all she had suffered must be the will of God and the fighting room where God wanted her to convert to seclusion.

So Natalie decided to follow the voice. She should do more good deeds, prepare for the redemption of her soul, and then escape into the empty door and end her relationship.

But her idea was inevitably disturbed by the outside world. Because people who love her don\'t want her to.

Mitzkevich was the first to persuade Natalie to change her mind. The loyal servant of the kishka family strongly opposed the hostess\'s decision.

"Miss, if you escape into an empty door, the orthodox inheritance of the kishka family will be cut off. Please think of the dead Master and take back your life!" advised mitzkevich.

Natalie replied to mitskovich\'s persuasion: "mitskovich, I have made up my mind. Don\'t persuade me any more. Besides, I have chosen a young man to inherit the family among the side children of the family. He is a very excellent young man. I believe the family will not decline under his leadership."

Seeing that Natalie had arranged for her successor, mitzkevich knew that it was useless to persuade her again. So he backed down with a sigh.

However, mitzkevich did not give up his intention to persuade Natalie. He knew that he was not strong enough to persuade Natalie, so he gave it to Queen ludwiga in the hope that the queen would come forward to persuade Natalie.

After receiving the letter, Queen ludwiga asked her husband for leave and quickly rushed to the kishka family manor. And Pedro came with the queen.

Peter Robben went to Warsaw to explain everything to King Jan kazimiz. Just after he entered the city gate, he met queen ludwiga\'s car, so he was forcibly taken by the queen.

Pedro is different now. With the huge wealth brought back from Crimea, Pedro lived a life of gold and purple. When most people in the Republic of Poland, even aristocrats, were poor and hungry because of the war, Pedro, as a mercenary, became more moist.

Queen ludwiga listened to Pedro\'s story about the combination of Cherchen and Fatima in the carriage. For this, Queen ludwiga can only sigh again and again. Queen ludwiga now doesn\'t expect Natalie and Cherchen to combine again. She thinks it\'s a great achievement to dissuade Natalie from becoming a monk.

But when Queen ludwiga and pedro arrived at Natalie\'s temporary wooden house, Queen ludwiga found that she might still think things too simple. Although Natalie spoke to herself and Pedro, she was indifferent, neither warm nor lack of necessary politeness.

Seeing this, Queen ludwiga "invited" Pedro out - she wanted to talk to Natalie alone.

Not to mention the unhappy Pedro. Queen ludwiga, who walked into the cabin bedroom with Natalie, looked at the simple furnishings in the bedroom and shook her head.

There was nothing in the cabin except a bed, a shrine, a table and two chairs. Although it is conceivable that this is the place where the heirs of the famous kishka family of the Republic live.

"Natalie."

King Ludwig called Natalie\'s name, but she didn\'t know where to start.

"Your Highness, please sit here."

Natalie took a chair and put it in front of the queen.

Queen ludwiga sat down, and she sorted out the language.

"Natalie, I know everything about Chechen." Queen ludwiga made a careful opening speech.

Natalie sat silently at the hands of Queen ludwiga, her face expressionless.

Queen ludwiga looked at Natalie and was very upset.

"Natalie," Queen ludwiga sat forward and took the girl\'s hand.

"I\'m not here as a queen, but as your friend. So I hope you\'ll tell me what\'s wrong and what\'s in your heart."

"I, I didn\'t." Natalie lowered her head and her voice was like a mosquito.

Queen ludwiga shook her head. Seeing that Natalie refused to tell the truth, she had to ask straightforwardly, "Natalie, tell me your heart. Are you going to become a monk because Chechen and Fatima have children?"

"No, of course not. God knows I don\'t want anything from him!" Natalie said forcefully, glancing over her head.

Queen ludwiga advised: "Natalie, I know that Cherchen has gone too far this time. But you have to think about how much he has suffered for the king and the Republic: he has attracted more than a dozen czar Russian generals and tens of thousands of Czar Russian troops in Crimea, reduced the pressure on the eastern border of the Republic, and he has made meritorious contributions to the Republic. Although he has made mistakes that all men make, I heard that he After all, I haven\'t officially married Fatima, and everything can be redeemed. "

When she said this, Queen ludwiga\'s face turned red. Because she didn\'t expect to say such words. Isn\'t this conniving at men and wronged women?

Queen ludwiga didn\'t expect Natalie to be a little comforted after hearing her words, but she didn\'t expect Natalie to shake her head fiercely.

"No, no, no!" cried Natalie.

Queen ludwiga was surprised by Natalie\'s surprise. She hurriedly stood up and hugged the girl\'s head to comfort her.

"Calm down, calm down, Natalie," comforted queen ludwiga.

As Queen ludwiga kept stroking Natalie\'s hair, Natalie gradually calmed down and her cry decreased.

"Queen, I\'ve been very tolerant of him. Even if he betrayed the Republic and the king, I\'m still ready to forgive him, but I didn\'t expect Cherchen to treat me like this!" Natalie said in the Queen\'s arms.

She originally wanted to take Chechen\'s rescue of Christina into the coffin and tell no one. Because Chechen atoned for his merits and Natalie still loved Chechen. Natalie felt that even if Chechen had made a big mistake, his merits in Crimea had been redeemed. As long as Chechen worked wholeheartedly for the country, Natalie could hide it and stop it Love became a gap between the two. But Natalie was very disappointed and didn\'t expect that Chechen returned to the Republic, but he had children with Fatima.

God! Natalie feels like a fool.

Moreover, he hid in Silesia and didn\'t even have the courage to see himself.

She hates him.

When Queen ludwiga heard Natalie say that Chechen had betrayed the Republic and the king, she suspected that she had heard wrong. After a while, the queen asked Natalie why she said so.

Natalie told queen ludwiga what she saw Chechen and Christina together in begzisarai and how she stabbed Chechen. These words have been suppressed in Natalie\'s heart for too long. She needs a vent.

After hearing Natalie\'s story, Queen ludwiga couldn\'t help sighing. She finally understood why Natalie didn\'t come back with the mission to Crimea.

"Your Highness, Cherchen\'s struggle in Crimea saved the Republic from two lines of war, but he protected the queen of Sweden: the war between us and Sweden could have ended early, and Carl X\'s love for Christina is well known. But because of him, the war has gone on for so long, and our people have paid heavy sacrifices. Can it be because of him Can my present performance be written off? I deceive myself, convince myself, admit that he is innocent, and can be written off. I have been deceiving myself and others, deceiving my conscience, but what have I got! "

So far, Natalie stopped talking. Because she couldn\'t help crying again.

Queen ludwiga hugged her again and gave her comfort.

Queen ludwiga did not know what to say about Cherchen\'s mistake. Although the queen did not think that Carl x would end the war with the Republic because of Christina, Cherchen\'s rescue of Christina itself was a betrayal. No wonder Natalie, full of patriotic enthusiasm, would be discouraged from him at that time. However, Queen devika knew that Chechen had let Christina go, and she was a little happy in her heart - at least Chechen didn\'t give her husband a chance to cheat.

God knows what his husband would do if he got Christina.

Back to Chechen and Natalie, Queen ludwiga could clearly feel that Natalie still had Chechen in her heart. She wants to become a monk is to completely forget Che Chen. If she doesn\'t have this person in her heart, why forget it? Moreover, when Natalie mentioned Chechen, she opened her mouth and closed her mouth with words such as "forgive" and "convince herself".

So queen ludwiga had a plan. She said to Natalie, "Natalie, my child. Since you have made up your mind, if you really decide to become a monk, I won\'t stop you. But don\'t do it at this time. For God\'s sake, let\'s drive away the invaders and let the daughter of the kishka family see the Republic return to freedom."

This request came from the queen of the Republic and is reasonable. Natalie hesitated and agreed.

"Then go to Warsaw with me. I\'m lonely recently. I hope someone can accompany me." Queen ludwiga asked again.

This time, no matter what queen ludwiga said, Natalie disagreed. In the end, the two had to compromise: Natalie and queen ludwiga went to Warsaw, but did not live in kazimi day palace, only in the monastery outside the city.

They talked again, but basically it was Queen ludwiga comforting Natalie.

More than half an hour later, Queen ludwiga opened the door and went out. Pedro and mitzkevich, who had been waiting anxiously outside, just came up and asked Natalie if she had changed her mind.

"I persuaded her for the time being," said queen ludwiga. Then the queen looked at Pedro with stern and reproachful eyes and said to him, "if your Excellency has a little conscience, go back and write a letter to your nephew. If Cherchen still loves Natalie, let that Judas come to Warsaw quickly!"
