Your Mightiness

43 days late, Miss Elizabeth finally returned to London as a princess.

Riding with her cousin, guarded by the Knights of the Garter, she is now talked about and watched by everyone in the city she grew up in.

She is no longer somebody's daughter, somebody's sister, somebody's lord—

The queen mother asked her countless times, why are you not a boy?Obviously when I was pregnant with you, everyone said you were a boy!

My elder sister Zeng always scolded her with her eyes, and really wanted to say, why are you the child of that witch Anne Boleyn?Without you and your mother, I wouldn't be where I am today!

The mother's family has kept talking, persuading her to think about it for the sake of the family, why can't you inherit this country?Mary is violent, Richard is weak, obviously as long as you work hard, you will be the most suitable master in this country!

—At last, she is only herself, Elizabeth.

She can wear skirts of any color and material she likes, regardless of her status as a princess, and run through any streets and alleys she wants to indulge in, stop and laugh when she is tired, and ride the wind again when she is tired Walk.

It was a life she couldn't even imagine in her wildest dreams that she could actually have.

She can finally say loudly that she likes this, she doesn't like that, she can freely express her opinion without worrying about being severely warned, no, miss, this is inappropriate, that is not allowed.She was sitting beside her cousin, looking curiously at the scene of the street passing by outside the carriage.

After the fire, London is still undergoing a series of urban planning. People who are responsible for measuring and cleaning up the ruins can be seen everywhere, because the king promised that everyone will live in a big house, and the citizens who lost their homes are very emotional. Voluntary Joined rebuilding efforts in their own neighborhoods.Everyone has smiles on their faces and sparks of hope in their eyes. They are happy because they are full of expectations for the future.

Elizabeth was also very happy, she seemed to be talking to August constantly.

Look, there is a clown painted on the roof that is about to be towed away. Doesn't the owner of the house have nightmares at night?

God, that little boy is so cute, I want to kiss him.

Stop the car, I must try that street food, why is there such a long queue to buy it!

She grew up in London, but she had never seen London so clearly, and now she got what she wanted.Chatting all the way, the mood was high, and the expression on the face was cheerful and lively that had never been seen before.

Unfortunately, no one can see.

August finally came out of the delusion that he had started after meeting Elizabeth.That's right, no matter how beautiful he thinks, it's just his imagination.

In reality, Elizabeth has already passed away, and she will not become a soul to come back to visit them.

After walking around London in accordance with August's intention, the team circled back to Hampton Court Palace in Richmond, where a family was already waiting for them.

King Richard III stood on the most conspicuous top, but the Black Prince was the first to embrace August.

The Black Prince had returned to London with evidence of the Inquisition's killing of the king, and deduced secrets that Richard III had been trying to avoid discovery.He has been trying to communicate with his nephew, but Little Richard, who has grown up and has his own ideas, has been avoiding the Black Prince, and he does not want to discuss any issues related to his physical condition.

If the king doesn't cooperate, then even the black prince can't help it. He can only hope that his son can solve this knot.

But the moment the Black Prince saw August get out of the carriage holding some of Elizabeth's belongings, he suddenly understood what Richard III was running from.He didn't want to make people in the family represented by August feel sad anymore, just one Elizabeth had almost broken everyone's nerves.

The family can't take a bigger blow, at least not yet.

The black prince could only hug his skinny son as if he could feel his ribs. He patted his thin shoulder vigorously, patted and patted, but couldn't say a word because of his distress.

The same is the loss of his brothers and sisters, the Black Prince has long been mentally prepared, after all, he and Richard II are not young, he knows very well that sooner or later, either his younger brother will send him away, or he will send his younger brother away .They have been in the same boat for so many years, cried together, laughed together, attended each other's wedding, experienced the baptism of each other's children, and they have done almost all the interactions that family members would do, and they have no regrets.

But August's generation is too young. August is 21, Elizabeth is [-], and the king is only [-].In any case, it is impossible for them to prepare to lose their brothers and sisters at such an age. They always think that the future is far away and there is still a long time.

The scariest thing is not a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, but a black-haired person sending a black-haired person, because the living person will go through too long a reminiscence period.No matter what you do, the shadows of the past will follow you everywhere, and those who survive will constantly think how good it would be if the other party is still alive.Every time something wonderful happened to those who survived, he would stare blankly at the vacant seat, imagining that there was someone laughing, applauding and celebrating for him, and then he had to face the cold chair.

The Black Prince hugged his son tightly, and in the end he could only sigh. Sometimes he really wished that he would always be that little fool before he was six years old, at least that way he wouldn't have to understand what sadness is.

Whether it is the death of the mother or the departure of the father, you just need to tell him that as long as you behave well, they will come back sooner or later.He will hold the expectation and wait happily every day and every day.

……

Elizabeth was buried in Westminster Abbey in the style of a princess, which used to be a Catholic Benedictine church, but was later changed to an Anglican church under the intervention of the state.But no matter how it is changed, members of the royal family and celebrities and nobles from all walks of life will be buried here. In history, most of the kings of England will also be crowned here. In short, it is one of the churches that has a profound impact on England.

There were many people who attended Princess Elizabeth's funeral, but the real grief belonged to only a few.

Richard III, August I, the Black Prince, the Queen Mother Isabella, the Queen Mother Catherine, Raphael, the Duchess Mary and the Duke Henry.The main members of the royal family were all present, wearing black dresses of different styles but subtly fitting. Each of them held a red rose in his hand, which was the only bright color in the black funeral.

This funeral is no different from the previous funerals, except that the farewell part of the body is canceled, and the last decency is preserved for Princess Elizabeth.

August and Richard III together shoveled down the first handful of soil symbolizing the lowering of the coffin.In the calm prayer of the Archbishop of Camberley, everyone bid farewell to the princess who had no sense of existence from the beginning to the end, and only broke out after her death.Her astonishment on the hunting ground, and her cunning behind her back, all with the burial of the gorgeous coffin, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

Rows of nobles, ministers and their wives' family members behind, whether they knew Princess Elizabeth or not, were sobbing softly, and some even cried until they fainted.

But the few people who were really sad just had tense and heavy faces, without saying a word or shedding a tear.

Because the tears that should be shed have already dried up in my heart.Their grief does not need to be performed for anyone to see, nor does it want to be seen by others.This is the external image that the English royal family has been committed to maintaining since it entered England—they can be absurd, stingy, and have various ostentatious personalities, but they must always maintain a superior attitude and maintain aloofness and mystery strong style.

This is the first thing everyone born into this family learns after birth—they are born noble and invincible.

After filling the last shovel of soil, members of the royal family stepped forward one by one and placed the red roses in their hands in front of Miss Elizabeth's tombstone built according to Protestant customs.There are eight flowers in total, no more, no less, blooming the most beautiful colors.

Then, the quiet and depressing funeral was over.

Members of the royal family got into different silver carriages one after another, drove away from the church, and returned to their cold palace.The old man returned to the palace to rest, and the young man sat around the fire and talked about the funeral for the first time.

"Please promise me," Lady Mary spoke first, attracting the attention of August and Richard III, "at my funeral, let me be buried as a duchess." Before Duke Henry could be moved, he As Lady Mary explained, "I don't want to be mistaken for how much I want my father's handout."

Madam Mary was obsessed with her status as a princess in the past. She always emphasized the treatment she received from the Prince of Wales, but now she just looked away.Well, it’s not considered too much, it’s just going from one extreme to another.

Mary forgave Richard II, but that didn't affect her thinking he was a scumbag, and she didn't want a handout from a scumbag.

"But I want everyone to know that you are my sister." Richard III restored the status of Princess Elizabeth, not because she was Richard II's daughter, but because she was his sister.

Mrs. Mary was taken aback, and after a while, she said awkwardly: "That, that's fine, anyway, I'm sure to die earlier than you, you can do whatever you want."

"Pfft." August finally smiled. This was the first time he had smiled since he met Elizabeth and took her home.

He didn't know why he was laughing, but he just smiled like that, as if only when he laughed could Elizabeth really leave with peace of mind.She has been, has been looking at them, of course she hopes that someone will mourn for her after learning of her death, but, but, please don't be sad for too long, it's not her sacrifice to protect the family own intention.She wants them to be happy.

Laughter is contagious. When August suddenly laughed, everyone laughed within a few seconds.Accompanied by the laughter, it seemed that something pent up in my heart was released from the body along with the sound, and the whole person breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that even the weather outside has become extraordinarily clear.

They took Elizabeth back with tears and silence, but in the end they decided to send her to heaven with laughter together. In a place farther than the white clouds, there are angels singing, elves vibrating the strings of the harp, and the most beautiful woman in the world. Beautiful everything.She didn't leave, but went to enjoy another better life.

The atheist August was always an atheist, but somewhere on the periphery of atheism, he was willing to believe for Elizabeth's sake that there was a place in the world where all worthy beings were given peace after death.
