Your Mightiness

The agreed wedding ceremony became a sister recognition ceremony.

Probably it is in response to the saying that lovers will eventually become brothers and sisters... Cough, the nobles in the Middle Ages did not hear such a foreign theory, so they could only put on an unexpected expression.Some people even wanted to shake the king's thin shoulders on the spot and growl, "What are you doing? Who would recognize his fiancée as his younger sister? Give me an example!"

Richard II is very calm. He killed his wife and remarried before, isn't there no precedent to follow?But he did it anyway, because he is the king and he has the final say!What precedent do you want? !

Not only that, Richard II also put on an exquisite gemstone crown on Princess Anne in a serious manner, and gave her the wonderful title of "The King's Sister".

As for the wedding...

The king said, what wedding?Did I say that?Misunderstood?What we have been preparing for is the sister recognition ceremony, look at my sincere eyes!Oh, you said the content on the invitation card, it was a small mistake made by the trainee attendant, I have already criticized him verbally, let's give the young man another chance, who can live a lifetime without making mistakes?

Attendant who took the blame: That's right, I printed it wrong.

"The relationship between England and Cleves is just like Anne and I. They are brothers and sisters. May the friendship last forever and the family relationship will last forever!" Richard II also gave an impromptu impassioned speech, and immediately raised his voice The sanctity of this sister recognition ceremony——

- what a ghost!

What can the nobles below the church do in the face of the king talking nonsense with his eyes open?There is only applause, and there are nods of agreement. Yes, yes, family love is indeed the most beautiful bond in this world, and it is the most precious wealth that God bestows on mankind.The envoy sent by the Little Principality of Cleves to attend the princess's wedding could only admit it with gritted teeth. After all, it was their princess who first expressed that she did not want to get married.

Yes, it was Princess Anne who proposed it to Richard II.She didn't say where the idea came from, and Richard II didn't want to pursue it, but he was very happy and immediately agreed.

August glanced at Raphael, he was 100% sure that Raphael did it, he admitted it himself, but... how did he do it?

Raphael stared ahead without speaking.

It is actually very simple to convince Princess Anne, she is not the kind of person who can't think about it, otherwise she would not have agreed to use a fake portrait to promote this marriage that is equivalent to trading herself as a commodity.She may have done some stupid things because she was obsessed with Richard II, but she quit the group to protect her IQ. After she realized that love is like a sea of ​​foam, and there is no practical value for a piece of bread, she resolutely withdrew , Princess Anne happily persuaded the king in this way, and happily became the royal sister. She even prepared a meeting ceremony for each "relative", and August and Raphael were not left behind.

Raphael sat side by side with August in the first row of the auditorium with his back straight. He looked very serious, but under the cover of his sleeves, he had been secretly playing with August The little meaty hand seemed to be such a fun toy, his lips barely moved, but he made a clear voice: "Your birthday wish has come true."

The tradition of blowing out birthday candles to make wishes has a long history. Although it was only popular in the Holy Roman Empire in the Middle Ages, it does not mean that the nobles in England knew nothing about it.

The first thing he did when he woke up on the morning of August's birthday was to blow out the candles on the cake in the warm expectation of the old housekeeper.He closed his eyes and made a wish, and said to God again that he, who was merciful, could prevent Richard II from a marriage that was destined to bring happiness to no one.Even though August knew very well in his heart that God is not responsible for helping people fulfill their birthday wishes, he still agreed.

Then, Raphael told August with the facts, what God cannot do, I can.

"Are you happy?" Raphael asked August.

August bowed his head, feeling all sorts of feelings in his heart, and said, "Obviously I should be the one who makes you happy."

"I'm very happy." If you are happy, I will be happy.

August thought very seriously, if Raphael continues to be sweet like this, he will really control how much he can't remember how many days he is!This kind of thinking is super dangerous!Serious face!

Richard II is still carrying out his sister recognition ceremony very seriously.There was nothing in vain about the preparations for the wedding before, it was just a change of name.After the ceremony, the banquet was held as usual, with exquisite French dishes, dancing until dawn, and even the last step of donating food to the church porridge shed.

The nobles wanted to open it faster than the newly released royal sister. After all, they didn't really want to bless this marriage. It would be best if they didn't get married. They didn't think it was a waste. ? !

Everyone had a smile on their faces that was a little bit happier than when they first attended the wedding.Miss Elizabeth couldn't wait to send someone to tell the good news to the Queen Mother who really didn't attend the wedding; Prince Baozi was still a little ignorant, just drinking children's drinks foolishly; The male partner danced the fifth dance. This male partner is technically a member of the royal family. His maternal grandfather is the brother of William II. It is said that he will inherit the title of Duke of Lancaster. A red rose that symbolizes the family.

Nothing is perfect in the world. In such a peaceful environment, there are actually discordant notes. Minister Thomas Cromwell is one of them.

Cromwell was a favorite of Richard II, and his qualifications as a king's eagle dog were older than Raphael.He was granted the title of Earl of Essex, opened his eyes for Richard II, and did a lot of scolding things, such as urging Congress to pass a series of bills related to religious reform, and making Miss Mary hate him to the bone Yes, confiscating the property of four thousand churches, great and small, in England.

To put it simply, this lord had a higher status than Raphael.

The word "Zeng" expresses how much bitterness.Cromwell had no foundation, and his only reliance was the king's favor. Life was like walking on thin ice, and one wrong step would lead to an abyss.

Then, he really made a mistake.

In fact, this happened not long ago, but it was what Richard II hated the most—it was Cromwell who helped Princess Anne to make a fake portrait. The princess was recommended by him, and the artist was also recommended by him.

It is conceivable that when Richard II was full of excitement, he took an expensive lady's sable fur coat and pretended to go to Rochester to see the beauty first.What about "beyond Miss Matt, as if the sun covered the moon's brilliance"?These few are really daring to blow!

Ms. Matt is a popular female opera singer in France today. She is so beautiful that her gender is blurred and she shocked Europe. Both men and women are crazy about her.

Richard II knew well that the so-called "beyond Miss Matt" must be an artistically processed statement, but he did not expect it to be so processed!The scumbag and pure Richard II was so frightened that he ran back to London overnight by boat, and by the way rejected Cromwell who dared to deceive him.Raphael, who had been ranked second before, took advantage of the situation and rose to become the new pinnacle of power.

Cromwell was unable to get off the tiger and was helpless, so he had no choice but to go all the way to the dark, biting the bullet and continuing to persuade Richard II with the friendship of the Protestant principality.He firmly believes that it will be fine when they get married, and that love will grow after a long time.

As a result, I waited and waited, but I got the news that the king and the princess were married.Contrary to the previous dilemma, he is like a mentally retarded man, who has to watch his political opponents chat with each other.

In the end, Cromwell still couldn't hold it back. He has ruled London for so many years, and he has long lost patience with other people's provocations. He walked up to Raphael and asked him, "Don't you have anything to say?" ?”

Raphael asked innocently: "I don't understand what you mean, Minister. What should I say?"

"I used to think that although you were at odds with me, it was just a matter of power change within the Protestant Church. I never thought that you would beg for mercy from the conservatives!" Cromwell deeply offended him in order to climb up when he was young The Catholic sect, that is, the old church, the conservative sect, call it whatever you want.He could only label himself as an out-and-out Protestant sect, promote the marriage with Cleves, and also want to further deepen the influence of Protestantism in England.

Now the plan is successful and successful, and it is also a failure when it is said to be a failure.The allies came, but Cromwell was not credited with the credit.

Cromwell also heard that in order to consolidate his position, Raphael even helped conservatives such as the Duke of Norfolk get closer to Richard II, which once again shook the king's faith.

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Facing Cromwell's furious cursing, Raphael didn't even wrinkle his eyebrows, because Cromwell was meaningless to him, why would he put a People who are about to die see it in their eyes?Raphael smiled gracefully and bowed. He didn't intend to explain anything, but just said: "Have you finished? If you have finished, then forgive me, I have other more important things to do."

Before Cromwell could answer, Raphael turned and left on his own. As he said, he didn't care what Cromwell said.

All kinds of important things. Your Excellency Auguste is waiting for Raphael to come to him, and said mysteriously: "I have great news, I will tell you if you guess it."

Anyone would be angry if this kind of false proposition is changed, only Raphael is special, because he has already guessed: "Richard said that he will make up the previous promise after the matter is over in a few days, and take you to the deer park, right?"

"How do you know?" August's face was full of ghosts, which was too predictable.

Raphael raised his hand and squeezed August's cheek with cold fingers: "Who do you think reminded Richard?"

"Ah, I'm going to live in London for eternity, and I won't go back to Bristol!" August began to consider the operability of this matter very seriously, after all, Bristol does not have Raphael you.

The author has something to say: Historically, Henry VIII did designate his fourth wife as the "king's sister". After he was married, he suddenly changed his mind.The article mentions this change before getting married. I always feel that since being a younger sister is fine, there is no need to get married at all. Why let a scumbag harm a girl who does nothing but cheat.
