Your Mightiness

In English, regardless of whether it is a cousin or a cousin, and whether it is a man or a woman, the title used is "cousin".But when someone asks which cousin it is or which cousin needs to be clearly stated in the context, there are actually different ways of expressing it.

For example, Brother Seymour deliberately used the qualifier of a distant cousin in order to explain the sudden appearance of Liszt.So when he introduced Liszt, he used the expression "youngermalecousinonmother'sside". The Chinese literal translation is a cousin who has a blood relationship with the mother's family. The free translation only needs a simple "cousin".As an unlucky person who used to use English but is now useless in Chinese, His Excellency August still prefers Chinese expressions, which are simple and not cumbersome.

August knew this trick because he had tried every means to make up the number of words for the composition in the English test. He never used one of the problems that could be solved with six words.

For example, my cousin said, and my cousin at my mother's house said that this can account for a lot of words, and the long string itself is more suitable for written language.

Now that Brother Seymour has provided such a particularly useful conversation starter, it is naturally impossible for August to let it go: Younger male cousin? oryoungerfemalecousin?

August likes to play this kind of stalk that can subvert everyone's cognition by changing only one word.At least Liszt was so scared that his face was as pale as a sheet of paper after that sentence, and he was sweating profusely.Her gender was exposed like this?Liszt couldn't believe it.Clearly, clearly, Duke Seymour, who had taken advantage of his grandmother, whom he depended on for life, didn't even notice.

As August said before, Liszt is really a very successful liar, just like her fib about gender.

Liszt thought that no one would be able to discover this secret, but there is no impenetrable wall in this world, as long as Raphael thinks, he can dig out even the secrets that have been brought into the grave.

"Liszt" is indeed a noble boy, but now this Liszt is not Liszt himself, she is actually Liszt's twin sister.The parents of the siblings died young, and they have lived with their grandmother since they were very young.Who would have thought that greedy and despicable relatives would not be reconciled, bully them old and young, and poison the real Liszt to death in order to plan the manor and property.

The old grandmother was not a fool either, she immediately joined forces with the kind-hearted local priest to tell a big lie.The granddaughter who is still young and looks almost the same is recorded as the grandson, and the grandson is buried as the granddaughter.

After taking revenge on distant relatives, the old grandmother took Liszt, who was disguised as a man, away overseas, fearing that the priest who gave false testimony for them would be hurt.

The overseas place Liszt went to was not the East, but the distant America, which is still misunderstood by the European nobles as the America of India.The Americas have not yet opened up wasteland, and survival is really too difficult. In addition, the grandmother is old and wants to die in the mother country, so the grandfather and grandson quietly returned to England not long ago.

In order to treat his sick grandmother, Liszt, who was short of money, could only rely on his title of nobleman to start a career of deception.

Then, Liszt bumped into Seymour's hand.At that time, Richard II hadn't died yet, but basically everyone knew that the king was dying. Brother Seymour prepared a liar to deal with August as a precaution.Then, it was really used, but it was a pity that the preparation was too hasty and full of loopholes.

It was only now that August and Raphael were caught off guard.

"What cousin?" Brother Seymour still hasn't realized it so far. He also investigated Liszt. He is obviously a poor heir whose parents died early.

"Hey, don't pretend that the matter has come to this point, my dear Edward." August insisted that Brother Seymour knew about it, because in this way he could turn around and accuse Brother Seymour of framing him, " Who doesn't know that Liszt is a girl? I can completely understand this kind of woman disguised as a man, after all, no one wants to let their property be cheap and greedy, and kill their brother's distant relatives, right? "

The other aristocrats who were watching the theater were still a little nervous, but at this moment, seeing August's calm expression, they understood that Duke Seymour was not the only one who came prepared, August was obviously also well-prepared.

"You..." Brother Seymour was very angry.

The chief referee Linus didn't move, he just understood the situation—Duke Seymour is not reliable at all, and August is already here waiting for them. Look at the hands that Liszt and August have held tightly, Maybe this liar has already defected to the arms of the enemy!

If Liszt could know the inner activities of the chief referee, she would definitely feel that she was a dog. If she could, she would also like to "deliver treason"!It's a pity that she didn't know that Liszt was too busy to take care of herself, and she had too many black histories. Although only one of the biggest ones was picked up now, she had no doubt that August knew about others.During these days of getting along, she always thought that August was not as mysterious as the outside world said. What kind of domineering speaker is actually a fool.It is only now that I understand the horror of August. His disguise is so thorough, as if he was a born actor.

August didn't understand, so he glanced at Liszt, who was shaking like a shiver, "Are you cold, my dear?"

"I said, I said, the Duke of Somerset (brother Seymour) ordered me to do it, and he told me whether you like men or not, just throw a basin of dirty water on you and you are finished. But Sam The Duke of Mercet doesn't know that I'm actually a woman, I have no blood relationship with him at all, he used my grandmother to blackmail me..."

The reason why Liszt spoke so quickly was because he was indeed a little afraid of August, who was hiding his secrets, and secondly, because she had been a liar for so many years, and the best thing she knew was to follow the wind, and she wanted to save herself. , naturally want to push all the blame on Seymour.

"You're talking nonsense!" Brother Seymour was furious.

Linus, the chief referee, sneered and interrupted Brother Seymour. What's the use of arguing with August about this kind of thing?He clapped his hands, and was still ready to let the knight take down August. Anyway, he had already offended him, and if he took a step back, he would be doomed.As long as August is detained, the Black Prince and Raphael will have no choice but to be wary. They are the winners, and history will be written by them!

To put it simply, the chief referee Linus is a strange man who never beeps if he can do it.

"Are you going to rebel, Linus?!" Bishop Chris stood in front of August.

"I just want to take the suspect back for a reasonable investigation." Lester crossed his chest and looked at Bishop Chris arrogantly. "If you don't move away, I have reason to believe that you are the same person as him. Speaking of which, Why are you guys gathering here is itself very suspicious, don't force me."

The original intention of Linus' words was just to threaten the nobles who saw this scene to choose to shut up, lest they become August's "accomplices".

But...

There was an eerie silence for five seconds.

...It seems that they really are August's accomplices.

Even Chris wants to laugh regardless of the occasion, his opponent Linus is really inadvertent.

Raphael, who had been sitting there without speaking, crossed his legs, clasped his hands, and looked at Lester and Brother Seymour calmly and playfully.He narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked with a smile on his face, "Are you sure you want to do it?"

The chief referee of Linus is still a bit jealous of Raphael. Although everyone thinks that Raphael has relegated to the second line, as a person who has dealt with Raphael for many years, he knows very well that this man with the name of Archangel What kind of devil resides in the heart of the "gentle" Duke.Therefore, before Linus came, he sent someone to confirm that August did not bring many people to the party this time. Those who came to the party were either these nobles dressed as knights, or they were vulnerable to real knights. servant.

Linus, on the other hand, brought as many knights and monks as he could. Under such circumstances, what did he have to be afraid of?Anyway, today he must take August away!It would be even better if you could take Raphael away with you.

"Then, well," Raphael said lightly, "let's take down all those who openly want to hurt the speaker and intend to rebel."

Who?

Before the chief referee of Leicester had time to ask, he had already been taken down by the knights who were dressed as knights among the nobles and who were really knights themselves.

With neat movements and fast speed, this is the real knight, and he must hit with one hit!

The third reason why the theme of this ball is "Knights and Swords" can finally be said - to hide the real strength of the troops.

All the knights wearing helmets are actually the knights who are trained every day around August.Only the knight commander Andre stayed in London with the trainee knights to disguise his troops.August's side is led by John, the most proud disciple of the knight commander, who won all the glory under the eyes of Richard II in the first five battles. The knights from the referee are not enough to watch.

August and Liszt didn't even leave their seats, and the farce-like "rebellion" came to an end.

Marquis Philip, who was in charge of watching the play, took his lover and "mistress" to express his satisfaction, and finally let him catch up with him once. He likes this kind of sourness of anti-killing best!

Mrs. Jane was feeling sorry for Anne's arms. The referee didn't let them move at all just now, and they had no chance to bandage them until now.

"Oh, my poor Anne." Mrs. Jane treated Anne as if she were her own daughter, a child she and her dead lover could never have.

"I'm fine." Annie hugged Madam Jane, trying to comfort her.

Before Linus was pushed down, August explained the confusion to him: "Why are there so many people gathering here? Of course it's because they are all people I like. I invite people I like to come. Have fun, any questions?"

This is still the Black Prince's suggestion to August, his son wants to open a private brotherhood, does he need a reason?What's there to cover up, come here openly, anyway, there are men and women in August's secret society, so you don't have to worry about others suspecting anything.If someone insists on asking, just tell him directly, the criteria for membership is that I like it, I am happy, I am happy!

Are you not convinced?hold on!

"You are the Duke of Gloucester, my son, and the king's cousin. My dear, if you have no right to your will, who has?"

The Black Prince has always followed a generous and overt conspiracy route, but sometimes this kind of straight ball is easier to reason.

Facts have also proved the correctness of the Black Prince. After the reputation of August's "secret" brotherhood spread, no one thought that there was anything wrong with the selection criteria of the Duke. Secretly asking how to make August like it, everyone is proud to be able to join the Duke's brotherhood.It's a pity that only a few people can join.

It was not until many years later in modern times that experts and scholars made a bold assumption that the criteria for membership in secret societies was actually sexual orientation.However, there are still many controversies in the industry, and no conclusion can be drawn.

But in the Middle Ages, surely no one would have guessed that way.

This is the charm of power.No matter what you do, there are people who follow you, flatter you, and automatically glorify your every intention.

At the same time in London, the knight commander Andre, who was in charge of pretending that the troops were all in the urban area, also made a small contribution.It all started with Seymour's younger brother. He also chose to attack Richard III on a day when August and Raphael were not in the palace. This guy probably has a broken head, and I don't know who he listened to. Slander, even want to kidnap the king.

But because the king's captive bulldog kept barking outside the palace, the knight commander Andre who thought it was abnormal, made a crime that had not had time to start invisible.

After hearing brother Seymour, who was arrested, explain what he was going to do, Knight Commander Andre and the little king fell into a weird silence.Brother Seymour has no soldiers and no power, so what's the use of kidnapping the king?Extort money?This is not sick.Today they can be regarded as gaining insight, it turns out that people can be so stupid, admire, admire.

The author has something to say: Note: Brother Seymour wants to kidnap the king as if he is crazy. This is true.When I read this period of history, I couldn't quite understand his brain circuit. His brother is a duke and controls the government. What can he do by kidnapping the king?

The fate of brother Seymour is my nonsense. In history, brother Seymour will continue to control the government for a period of time, and then he will practice the palace and mint coins, causing prices to inflate.This kind of thing that people have to do to live in dire straits, the stupid author will drop the golden finger butterfly.

PS: Anne likes the knight Walter. In theory, he should be the earl who was granted the title after suppressing the uprising. In order to give him a title, he was sent to Scotland in advance to make meritorious service.above.
