Refusing Love As A Queen

The atmosphere suddenly became weird.

The most noble man in the empire and the most powerful man in the empire stood face to face, facing angrily. When Dalton said without thinking, something that had been deliberately avoided was exposed/exposed in the air.

The queen's slender fingers tightly clasped the white cotton cloth on the table top.

Dalton stood upright, his gaze falling into the void, as if there was something worthy of his attention, but his slightly twitched lips exposed what he was struggling with his cold face...not worth it, he is a new **** The leader of the sect is the new imperial marshal. He shouldn’t have said so easily about participating in the battle...

Does he really think of himself as a stupid knight?

He felt the queen's gaze searching for something on his face.

According to the romantic poet’s story, at this moment, he should go over and kneel down on one knee, kiss the queen’s hand, and swore that he would wipe out all enemies for her—the gods are on top, and even the nobles have long abandoned their oaths in the stinking ditch today. What kind of knight was given a civilian...

Then, according to the story of cruel history, he should apologize for his impulse at this moment, and tell the queen that she did a good job, and continue to let the Prince of the Ruth Empire fall over for her.

He said nothing, motionless.

Adele retracted his eyes, took a step back, and sat back in the chair.

"Good point."

Adele swept the hair that had just been loosened with his hand, and drew them behind his head.

Dalton didn't want to look at her, but the ring on her hand reflected bright light, which made his eyes move. She missed a strand of hair, and it hung in her ears, gently swaying, like its owner, beautiful, stubborn and difficult to predict.

"Talk about the Yage Kingdom."

Adele's voice still had the dryness after the argument, which made her look a little vulnerable. She quickly discovered this, so she reached out and picked up the black currant from the crystal dish on the tabletop.

The maids meticulously washed these small purple-black fruits, each of them has a particularly attractive color in the crystal plate. The black currants ripening in August are very delicious, and Mrs. Kelly also iced them intimately.

One or two gooseberries are extra sweet.

Adele's fingers paused, she glanced at Dalton, and continued to use her fingertips to pick up the currant in the plate and deliver it to her mouth.

Dalton didn't notice her strangeness.

"The Jager fleet is docked in the Bay of Heaven. The king of the Tuva dynasty has passed away. Emperor Rutte supported his cousin to seize the throne. When the alliance is officially confirmed, John VI has to be transferred back to the fleet-if he does not want to let him watch. If the Duchy of Tuva, which was in the bag, fell into the mouth of the Ruth Empire."

His eyes moved from the missing strand of hair to the queen's lips.

When she thinks and restrains her emotions, she will bite her lips with her teeth unconsciously, and her "ravaged" lips will often become fuller and fuller. This little habit seems to have been preserved from her childhood until now, making her no longer seem so indestructible.

The sap of black currant stained the queen's lips, giving the petal-like soft lips a witch-like mystery. Dalton watched her bring a small fruit to her lips... Before the colonnade of the idol that day, their breath had blended together.

When Dalton realized that he was thinking about the **** kiss, he jerked his eyes away from the queen's lips, as if he had hit a sharp thorn.

"The Principality of Tuva..."

The queen frowned, thinking about something.

despair.

The berries fell from the queen's hands and fell to the ground.

Dalton turned his head and saw the queen's eyes showing a diffusive state of pupils in the sun.

With a terrible premonition, Dalton rushed to the queen's side and grabbed the queen's hand.

The queen's body temperature is rising sharply, her breathing is as fast as a cat, and her cheeks are blushing abnormally. Sweat soaked Dalton's shirt in an instant. He pinched the queen's chin with one hand, forcing her to open her mouth, and put one hand on her back, which was also soaked in cold sweat.

"Spit it out!"

Dalton yelled, he never knew he would make such a panic and panic sound.

"Quick! Spit it all out!"

Prince Arthur...Old Gods...

While dizzy, Adele was thinking about these words while making sure that he heard the messy footsteps, and then he lost consciousness in Dalton's yelling.

After just a few minutes, the entire summer palace was boiling.

…………………………

Heinrich quickly led several doctors carrying heavy boxes through the palace corridor.

The forehead of this great aristocratic Patriarch, who has always been difficult to look at the emotions and anger, was sweating, his upper and lower teeth were clenched, and every line of his face was tight. The doctors who followed him almost had to run at a pace to keep up with him. But no doctor dared to complain.

Dalton's fire/guns/hands have completely sealed off the entire Summer Palace. Even a fly trying to break out at this moment was shattered by hundreds of bullets at the same time.

The nobles who stayed in the palace stayed nervously in their rooms, no one dared to move easily, and could only wait anxiously for further news. Or nervous, or fear, or excitement... the court's conspiracy was set off again.

A dangerous whirlpool swept everyone with a new round of storm.

Just now, the first queen of the Roland Empire, Adele Roland, encountered yet another fatal danger.

"Faster!"

Heinrich slammed the door open, and it was a few doctors who rudely urged to bring him.

The doctors saw the queen lying on the bed, her hair soaked in cold sweat, strands clinging to her forehead and neck, the high temperature caused her pale cheeks to glow abnormally red, and her breathing was so fast that everyone's hearts Highly mentioned-death may take away the young queen at any time.

"It's a belladonna."

The experienced doctors whispered.

Belladonna.

The word was confirmed by the doctors, and everyone in the room lost their blood.

Belladonna is a kind of fruit that looks very similar to black currant, but if the latter is a gift from God to the world, then the former is a gift from the devil to the witch. The flowering and fruiting times of the two plants are similar, and the appearance of the fruits is very similar, both of which are purple-black berries.

But only two small belladonnas can make a lively child lose his life. Adults need more, but not too much.

Belladonna has always been loved by conspirators. A whole plate of black currant is mixed with belladonna, it is difficult for people to distinguish them, but it can easily solve stubborn political enemies. Adele is not the first person to be threatened by the "devil" fruit of belladonna, nor will he be the last.

"Belladonna...gooseberry...no!"

Mrs. Kelly trembled. As if thinking of something, she let out a stern and angry cry, and rushed towards the door.

"Bly! Bly! It's him!"

Bly, the husband of Mrs. Kelly, is responsible for the daily life of the Summer Palace.

The guards at the door crossed their guns and wanted to stop Mrs. Kelly, but she seemed to be caught in extreme fear and anger, and the power that burst out was terrifying. She broke away from the guards, letting the blade of the iron gun cut a big hole in her shoulder, and the blood poured out, she didn't notice it.

"Keep up with her."

Dalton snapped his orders.

With cold sweat on their foreheads, the doctors quickly began a series of first aid measures.

Dalton stood beside the queen's bed, watching their every movement closely. If the **** of death really appeared in front of the queen's bed at this moment, he would definitely pull out the gun without hesitation.

"How is this going?"

Heinrich was so angry that he was going crazy.

Listen! Belladonna!

The students taught by the Double-headed Snake family fell in front of the little belladonna? He just became her mentor, and the first lesson he took was how to distinguish belladonna and gooseberry. Isn't her clever and vigorous than when she was eight years old?

Doesn't she always never make the mistake a second time?

and many more……

Heinrich turned abruptly to face a maid and asked, "Who is the gooseberry prepared for?"

"Your Majesty and Your Royal Highness."

The maid trembling, answered.

……………………

"I said, she is an unknown! A woman of disaster!"

The envoys of the Ruth Empire were imprisoned in their rooms just like the Roland nobles. After the news came that the queen had been poisoned with belladonna, Earl Rutte was so afraid that he could not help cursing loudly in the room.

You know, in the afternoon, Prince Arthur and Queen Roland stayed together, and the belladonna was clearly prepared for these two respectable people. Think about it! If Prince Arthur is poisoned in Roland, the angry emperor and queen mother will not let him go easily!

"The ominous man with red eyes..." the count cursed endlessly in the room, "I want to say that she is exactly like her mother. The Roland Empire should put her on the fire! Your majesty shouldn't marry such a witch, Lu The special empire should not form an alliance with such Roland!"

The count's attendants were bitter and frightened, hoping that no Roland official would come to inspect by chance.

Roland's officials did not come, but the prince's door opened.

A thin sword was thrown out, and it passed the earl's neck.

"One more sentence?"

Prince Arthur, wearing a shirt, stood at the door, holding another rapier in his hand.

The earl's voice stopped abruptly.

At the same time, in the church, a monk hurriedly walked over to Archbishop Rodri who was copying the scriptures, and whispered a few words.

The next moment, the monk was shocked to see that the solemn and steady archbishop overturned the candlestick.

The archbishop stood up and subconsciously walked a few steps outside, only then did he remember that the summer palace at this moment could not let him in. For a moment, he regretted why he lived in his room in the summer palace.

New god, old god...

No matter what kind of **** he is, please protect Roland's queen.

Note: Belladonna is very toxic. The intake of two berries can kill a child, and 10-20 berries can kill an adult. Please be careful in your daily life~ Don't eat unfamiliar berries, tweeted.

Some of the contents of Chapter 9 and some explanations of the recent marriage plot involved are somewhat long and can be ignored.

Regarding "The Roland Congress hopes that the Queen will get married as soon as possible, so that the Roland Empire will have a real king. It hopes that marriage will not only return the country to the natural order of male rule, but also enable the Roland Empire to have a legal heir to the throne as soon as possible." In fact, it is not a bug but a reference to the tradition and aristocratic social order of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

First of all, we must first go back to that era to understand the discrimination against women in the gender society at that time.

In the view of masculinity, women are considered to be willful, emotional, weak and indecisive animals, unsuitable for governance and incapable of leading government affairs[1], women’s nerves are weak, women’s wisdom is not complete. Therefore, for a considerable period of time, as the scholar Teresa Allenfield said, there was such a tradition at that time that "a man who marries a queen will automatically share the rule of his wife’s kingdom" [key point], and When the historian Jenna Bianchini wrote about Queen Belengalia, “women, even those who clearly have the right to the throne, are rarely accepted as monarchs if they are not married.”

Under this background, it has become a very unbelievable thing that the queen ruling women in power. At that time, it was considered that it was natural for men to dominate the world. Queens generally only ruled in the name of her husband when the king personally appoints the queen and has the ability to impose his choice on his subjects. The more famous warrior queen Isabella in history took the throne before her husband after the death of the king’s brother. After hearing the news, Ferdinand angered the chronicler Palencia and claimed "I have never heard of it. There is a woman to usurp the privilege of a man"[2], and the reason why Isabella was able to reach the rule of two kings is very important because of the agreement they signed before the marriage. There is a clause that stipulates that Ferdinand’s identity is the queen’s. The spouse, not the king. It is this clause that opened the unprecedented "Spain Double Kings". However, even under such circumstances, Ferdinand still became the king of Spain.

This social status quo was accompanied by frequent "marriage diplomacy" in European society at that time.

In the Middle Ages, European international exchanges were frequent, various duchy and Counties were scattered, feudal divisions were serious, and land and money could be inherited and transferred through marriage relations. Marriage diplomacy was used to the greatest extent. A typical example is the Berkendi in the late Middle Ages. Marriage diplomacy expands abroad and relies on marriage to aggregate many territories, from a duchy territory to one of the most powerful forces in Europe. [3]

However, under the tradition that "the man who marries the queen will automatically share the rule of the wife's kingdom", the queen's marriage will make her marriage hot. In 1554, Mary Tudor married the King of Spain, which caused Britain to become a subject of Spain. In the time of Elizabeth I, "kings and princes all over Europe are staring at the queen and her kingdom, hoping to get her, and then get a kingdom." And, "Marriage with any European country will inevitably lead to If Britain loses its independence, it will be involved in the country's European policy." [4]

Nevertheless, gender prejudice and social habits still make the queen's marriage an important issue. After the coronation of Elizabeth I, the Spanish ambassador, Prince Philip still naturally believed that the queen would marry. Because at that time, it was hard to imagine that a woman wanted to be in power alone, without the guidance and protection of a man, and she also needed a father of a child to ensure the continuation of the dynasty and the future of the royal power. Elizabeth's mentor William Cecil prayed, "God, please give the queen a husband and a son so that our descendants can have a man to lead them" [5]. He longed that the queen could get married and be bound by the mission of inheritance, so that the country would return to the natural order of male rule.

At the same time, the queen's marriage also means "legal heir to the throne." In an era of endless disputes, wars, and riots, the absence of an heir to the throne means that when the monarch dies, the country will immediately fall into chaos. This was also one of the reasons why people believed that the Queen's marriage was necessary. Only when the queen gets married and gives birth to the heirs of the country can the government and society be able to maintain the stable order of the government and society. However, this means danger to the queen herself. Once she has an heir, then her enemies are likely to plot the heir to overthrow her. Life will be threatened stronger than ever.
