Your Mightiness

August did not live in Whitehall Palace for many days, even though Richard II and Miss Mary repeatedly asked him to stay, he insisted on returning to Hampton Palace.Because Queen Isabella has written in advance, expressing her idea that she will not live in the palace this year, but will continue to live in Hampton.

Yes, the Queen Mother has never lived in Whitehall Palace, which symbolizes the center of power, because she feels that she is a sinner, even if her sons don't think so.

In fact, the Queen Mother doesn't even want to live in Hampton Court Palace.She once bought a not too big but not too small manor in the suburbs of London, and she lived there all the time when Hampton Court Palace was not completed.But after the three-year-old August received his birthday present, he coaxed the queen mother to agree that as long as she was in London, she would live in Hampton Court Palace under the hard teaching of his father, the black prince. .

August is not very clear about the grievances and grievances of the elders, he only knows that the Black Prince sincerely wants his mother to be happy, and he also wants to make his old grandmother happy.

As for what actually happened in the past, does it matter?

When August went to Whitehall Palace, he brought a lot of things. The old butler was afraid that he would wrong August, even though it was impossible for this kind of thing to happen in front of Raphael; August left Whitehall When I went to the Palace, I brought more things, all of which were gifts from Richard II's family to August. Is this probably one of their family traditions?Gifts are not counted by piece, but by car.

According to his true wish, August took the initiative to ask the king to take away one gift——

—his cousins.

When Miss Mary was told to pack her things and prepare to leave with her cousin, she was stunned for three seconds.

August raised his head from the milk glass and said with a white beard, "You don't really think I'm going to spend time at Hampton Court Palace alone, do you?"

Miss Mary excitedly got up from her seat, hugged August, and turned around several times.

In a daze, August always felt that this scene seemed familiar.

Then it was Rafael's turn to be unhappy.

This pair of uncles and nephews, who are only more than one year apart, have irreconcilable deep-seated contradictions in August's ownership.

In the end, it is only possible that Miss Mary lost the battle. It is true that she has a strong personality, but her methods are not as good as Raphael's, so she can only give up voluntarily.However, Miss Mary is still in a happy mood. She is really tired of serving her half-brother as a maid in the palace, even if it is just a day of hiding.

Even the invisible Miss Elizabeth had a rare sense of existence. With a feeling of apprehension, she boldly kissed August on the cheek.

"It tastes good?"

"It's like kissing cream." Miss Elizabeth replied, and then she realized that it was Raphael who was talking to her just now with a smile that was not a smile. Miss Elizabeth in a shell.

In any case, on the night before leaving, everyone was in high spirits.

Then all enthusiasm was extinguished when I was preparing to leave the next morning.Because the crown prince also appeared in the team, he was still working hard to look majestic and dignified, but those radiant eyes had already betrayed him.

Raphael was also in the line, acting as the master, as if Hampton Palace was his residence.

This lineup is not over yet, the night before the arrival of the Queen Mother, even Richard II, who was left alone, moved to Hampton Court Palace.If it weren't for everyone's mood, Richard II would even bring his fiancée—the princess of the small country—to live with him.

August: ...what's the difference between this and my stay at Whitehall Palace? !

Rafael had just finished his evening exercise, and when he passed by August, he said in surprise, "You ever expected to be different? Oh, why are you so cute, my little apple."

"When will you give up on trying nicknames?"

"Until we find a unique nickname that both you and I are satisfied with." Raphael said boldly.

"Let me just say, this contest between you and Mary is absolutely childish."

Rafael shrugged: "You'll never understand what it's like to have a relative who's close to your age, especially when she's younger than you."

"Leeds and I are only two years apart," August reminded, "but we get along very well."

Raphael still had that "stupid human being" expression: "It won't get better soon."

It was not until Queen Isabella later that August understood what this meant.

Although Richard II is a scumbag emotionally, he is still very reliable as an uncle.He said that the Queen Mother could catch up and go hunting deer together. Sure enough, the Queen Mother arrived in London before the deer hunting.

This time even Richard II stood at the door and greeted his mother in person.

August changed into extremely formal aristocratic attire, and never complained about the clothes being too weird. He even took the initiative to ask the old housekeeper for the most popular style in France.The old housekeeper soared excitedly, he was still so gay.

On the day when the Queen Mother's convoy drove into Hampton Court Palace in a low-key manner, there was a rare clearing of the bad weather with dark clouds for several days.

There are many memories of the Queen Mother in August's mind, because the Queen Mother visits him in Bristol almost every year, several times.He liked the old grandmother very much, only she and Miss Marie had never been bothered by August's stupidity.

The queen mother has nothing to do with the strength and queen fan in the public impression.She is nothing more than a peaceful little old lady, wearing a low-key embroidered dress without losing her status, combing her hair in circles meticulously, and carrying anise candy mixed with orange flower water or rose water all year round. When it came to juniors, they were handed out one by one, no matter how old the other party was, even the middle-aged His Majesty the King got a lot of white sugar pills.

August had eaten it many times in the previous eight years of his life, and to be honest, it didn't taste very good, just like sugar pills.But this is already the most extravagant candy in the Middle Ages, so expensive that even nobles would only use it at weddings.

The Queen Mother is the only special case, rich and willful.She also likes to eat it very much, and even regards sugar as her life, so that August has to start worrying about her blood sugar.

It is impossible to divide anise candy evenly, and it is difficult to distinguish, but it is very intuitive to give each person how much.

At the beginning, everyone was similar, and when there was only the last bit left, they were divided equally among the youngest Crown Princes Elizabeth and Richard.

The Duke of Pudding, who was always able to enjoy the treatment of "when there is only the last piece of cake on the table, it will definitely belong to him", finally understood the words of his uncle Raphael.He hates children who are younger than him. This has nothing to do with fennel sugar. The point is that grandma obviously likes him the most!

Later in the day, when only the Queen Mother and August were left, the little old lady quietly gave August another box.

"Don't be mad, eh? Of course you're my favorite."
