Your Mightiness

The way couples get along is that you may not know all the preferences of the other person, but you must know what the other person’s hot spots are. That may not make you invincible when a husband and wife have a dispute, but at least it can make you feel good .

But this set is obviously not suitable for Queen Catherine, given that she has a king husband who has multiple convictions for killing his wives and is arbitrary.What Queen Catherine was most afraid of was having disputes with Richard II. She was trying to curry favor with Richard II all the time. This approach worked for a while, but not for long.Because she paid too much attention to what Richard II liked, Queen Catherine did not notice what Richard II hated, and it was easy to step on mine inadvertently.

It would be a lie to say that you do not regret marrying Richard II.Queen Catherine lived in fear and anxiety almost every day, and she even had nightmares similar to waking up in the morning to find her own head.

So this time, in the face of the king's inquiry, Queen Catherine could only focus on "the husband should guide his wife".

Fortunately, in Richard II's bad character, there is also the characteristic of "being a good teacher". He happily "guided" his wife and gave Queen Catherine a chance to breathe.Queen Catherine finally plucked up the courage to shake off the crucial burden: "I have been married for three years, and everything I do is for you, my love."

Richard II finally understood what tricks Catherine was playing, and she probably sensed something, so she wanted to pretend to be humble and obedient, so as to get rid of the ending of being deposed.

But many marriages gave Richard II the most experience with "enemies", and he would not be so easily fooled.

Just when Richard II decided not to continue talking meaninglessly like this, and ordered the guards outside to rush in to arrest the queen, Miss Matt's words appeared in Richard II's mind in time.

It is impossible to say why Richard II thought of the woman who always made him lose his temper, but at least his temper that was on the verge of exploding subsided a little.

Miss Matt said that a woman will no longer be like herself after she gets married. deep.Miss Matt was a wise person, and tried to avoid being carried away by such excessive love, but what about Catherine?

Richard II even thought of his second wife, Anne Boleyn, who also had two faces when she was a lady-in-waiting and when she became queen, especially when it came to her treatment of Mary. The viciousness is shown vividly.

This is also one of the reasons why Richard II was finally disappointed with Anne. He always suspected that the desperate love Anne showed for him before marriage was a disguise. She did not love him, but fell in love with the queen's position. That's why she was so cruel and ruthless to his children, because she didn't care about his feelings at all.

But, thinking about it now, maybe Anne was just upset?And Mary always talked about her mother all the time. No woman would be hostile to an extremely outstanding woman, especially that woman was his ex-wife who had lived with him for more than ten years.

Literary middle-aged or old Richard II is a person who is particularly good at brainstorming, and in his spiritual world, he is naturally more inclined to be liked by the whole world.

Maybe, he said to himself, he really deserved Catherine's chance to avoid a repeat of Anne's tragedy.

Therefore, Richard II threw out a theological issue he was arguing with Queen Catherine recently, "Queen Catherine often speaks more and more generously" (quoted from the original words of the Protestant writer Fox), Richard What the Second Emperor hates the most is that Catherine is so unreasonable, as if she knows everything and everyone else is a fool.

"You are already a doctor in theology, and you can guide other people instead of being guided by me." (Quoted from the original text of the source) Richard II said.

"No, my love, why do you think so? My obvious childish arguments are just to attract your attention. I need you to talk and discuss with me, so as to forget the torment of your illness." Catherine only had Richard II in her eyes, as if she really had a deep affection for him, she boldly held Richard II's hand and placed it on her plump breasts, "Every time I see you so painful , My heart is also in pain. As I said before, everything I do is for you, Your Majesty."

Foryou means not only "dedicated to you", but also "for you".

Richard II's expression finally softened, maybe it was because of Catherine's words, maybe it was because of Catherine's soft chest, who knows, anyway, he finally chose to believe Catherine's words, he needed to believe in Catherine's words, and believed that he was still the rich Charismatic, handsome prince who doesn't need a throne to attract women to love him.

After a night of pettiness and tenderness, the relationship between the empire's first husband and wife turned from cloudy to sunny. Marquis Philip even held a small party to celebrate the matter in a low-key manner under other names.

Raphael was also invited, but refused to attend, because being with August was his most important thing right now.

August didn't even know what was going on. As usual, he cheated and didn't want to study. As usual, he read the letter full of love from his nagging father. By the way, he went to the palace to discuss the summer vacation with the king as usual. The necessity of existence.

Richard II happened to be in a very good mood at this time, so he was patient enough to listen to August's nonsense.

"Summer is so hot..."

As a country surrounded by a maritime climate, England's summers are not particularly hot, just as its winters are not particularly cold.

"Humans always need a long vacation in a year to relieve one-time fatigue..."

This reason is relatively new, and Richard II hadn't heard it before, but that didn't mean he would be convinced.

When His Excellency the Duke's long speech was about to go back to God's creation of the world, the king finally propped his chin and said helplessly: "What do you want?"

"I want Yael to play with me for a month." If possible, August actually wanted to say something longer.

"Why?" Richard II couldn't quite understand it. After all, if August only wanted a playmate, he believed that the applicants would definitely line up from London to Paris in France.

"I found that only when I was resting, Yael would forget to let me learn the geometry that I would never learn in my life. How do I know how to draw the auxiliary line? How do I know how to imagine it is three-dimensional? This formula, that theorem , It would be better to kill me." August must admit that it is not everyone who has worked hard for a year that needs a rest, but he needs a rest!When he used to go to school, there were winter and summer vacations!Even if there is holiday homework, it does not affect his enjoyment of the holiday, he just needs to make up homework crazily in the last three days.

"Geometry is really annoying." Richard II nodded with concern. As an old man of literature and art, he prefers literature and music. Artistic.

His nephew is indeed his nephew!

Richard II thought he had found a soulmate, and began to talk to August about the importance of rhythm.

August suddenly felt that his geometry might be salvaged.

In the end, August's request for summer vacation was unsuccessful, because Richard II said that they have been busy recently and it is impossible to rest.

In order to express his apology for misunderstanding the original intention of the queen, Richard II let go of the succession bill.

So throughout the following summer, the parliament was discussing this matter, and the proposal named "Third Inheritance Act" was finally passed under the wrestling and competition of many parties.

It's just that the results are somewhat different from expectations.

Miss Mary and Miss Elizabeth were indeed included in the list of heirs again, but the legal status of their legitimate children would still not be recognized by law, and they would continue to be treated as illegitimate children.In other words, Miss Elizabeth can still only be called Miss Elizabeth, and Mary is called Countess because she is married, and may be promoted to Duchess in the future.

"How the hell did this thing pass?" August had a further understanding of the absurdity of the Middle Ages.

"You don't want them to inherit the throne?" Raphael stopped writing, and looked up at August in surprise. To be honest, he hoped that August would have more ambition and ambition.As for family affection, is it important?It is enough for August to have him... and the barely counted Black Prince!

"No, I thought Mary could be restored to her legitimate status if she was to have the right of inheritance."

August sat sulking.Miss Mary obviously wanted her legal status back rather than inheritance rights.Although her parents were divorced, she was legally legitimate at birth, and she was not the product of some disreputable adultery.Elizabeth was the one. Her mother gave birth to her three months after her marriage, which is enough to explain a lot of problems!

Miss Mary has her pride to maintain, and August is happy to help.

"If Mary becomes a legitimate child, then her right of inheritance will be ranked first." Raphael explained helplessly.This was absolutely intolerable to Richard II. After so many years of tossing, didn't he just want to have a son?

"Son or daughter, what's the difference?!"

"There has never been a queen in England's history." Raphael had to remind August, "Maybe there were many queens in the era you have experienced, and it is easy for you to accept, but for this era It's not easy to say."

August was stunned: "What did you say?"

"There may have been queens in other European countries, but England has not. Besides, Richard has his reasons for worrying. Do you know the sister of the first queen?"

"I remember hearing Mary mention that she seems to be the queen of Castile." August found the last impression from the depths of his memory.

"Yes, the queen of Castile. She also has the nickname "Crazy Juana". Do you know why she is called that? Because she has been the queen of Castile all her life. By others, by her own father, her own husband, her own brother, and even her own son. She eventually became the sole heir of Aragon, Castile and other countries, but that did not bring her any Fortunately, her husband manipulated the local court and found her insane. Her father used the excuse of only acknowledging Juana’s identity, and almost had a civil war with his son-in-law. After her father and husband died one after another, she was continued to be imprisoned by her son in the lived in a room without even a window, to this day."

"!!!" August had no idea that something like this was happening, "Is she really crazy, or?"

"Who knows? She's the last royal with the purest blood. From her son onwards, everyone else is more or less foreign. Richard is afraid that England will end up like this, you know what I mean." Not to mention that there is a genetic possibility of that terrible madness."

"But Mary was right..."

"Richard doesn't think he's wrong either."

Sometimes reality is such a fucking thing, everyone is doing what they think is right from different people's perspectives.No one has a 100% correct banner.

August could only sit on the side with his pillow in his arms, still very angry, so angry that he lost his shape!

"There is one more thing I haven't said." Raphael always knew how to attract August's attention. The life of the female elders in Mary's family was almost a tragedy, but the fact was already the case, and they were powerless to change, and it was not What they caused, Raphael really didn't have the extra sympathy to pay more attention.

August turned his head reluctantly, but still listened with dignity.

"Your status as the second heir in line has also been strongly requested by Richard to keep it." This was something outside of Raphael's plan, and it almost caught him off guard, but Raphael did not stop him, but actively promoted it After going on, he just modified his plan, "Did Richard say anything to you when you went to the palace?"

August opened his blue eyes in disbelief: "Shouldn't I be in the back row?"

The law of succession to the throne of England has always been such that the king's sons and daughters are followed by the king's brothers, and brothers are followed by brothers' children.

Richard II has only one obvious brother, the Black Prince. As for Raphael, he is more likely to inherit the French throne than the English throne.The Black Prince is the former king who has already abdicated, and he has made it clear that he will not be restored again, so he skips the brothers, and the order of ranking should be the king's children, and then August.

"Richard, in the capacity of Mary and others to have children out of wedlock, made everyone make 'appropriate' adjustments." Raphael observed August's every move through the conversation, in order to know August's Real thought, "Don't you like the result?"

"I can't say it," August didn't know how to describe his thoughts at this moment, he could only joke, "It's probably more incredible, right? Before my uncle called me into the palace, he only discussed music with me, not Has anything about the throne been discussed. Or does he think that someone who has a sense of music is more suitable to be a king?"

"Let's go with the flow." Raphael suggested.

August nodded and accepted, so he could only go with the flow. He didn't even know how to write this matter in his letter with Miss Mary.So he decided not to write, to avoid mentioning so as not to give each other a chance to feel awkward, and throughout the article he was asking when Miss Mary was going to come back, since the king had ordered Miss Mary and her wife to move to London.

Mary and Henry married very low-key back then, so many people in the country still don't know the news of her marriage. August wants to take this opportunity to make up for Miss Mary.

Miss Mary's reply was as swift as her own return to London.

"Oh, my pudding~" Miss Mary, who combed her hair, was full of joy, no longer the gloom in the palace, she couldn't wait to hug Augustus after getting off the carriage Te, "You are much taller than last time I saw you."

August was glad to hear Mary say that about him.

"Congratulations, you are still the second in line." Miss Mary accepted this matter more than August expected, maybe it was because of love, maybe it was just because August was ahead of her, who knows?August just needs to know that Mary doesn't mind.

After Miss Mary returned to London, she naturally lived with Henry. The Lancaster family had their own manor and house in London.August has been invited to be a guest many times, and most of the impressions of those places are only one-red roses everywhere.

To be honest, the image of Henry's bookworm really doesn't match Red Rose, but he can only accept this fate.

Miss Mary's clothes have also changed a lot because of this, and all the ladies in the Middle Ages have to go through this experience, from only embroidering their own family's family crest on the sleeve before getting married, to the husband's family crest on the left sleeve , the right sleeve is embroidered with the crest of her natal family.Today, Richard II uses the royal coat of arms is a white rose, which just echoes the red rose of the Lancaster family.Miss Mary often walked through the manor wearing a dress like this with two roses, which is actually quite chic.

Miss Elizabeth and the crown prince were also invited this time. While Mary and Elizabeth were talking about topics that are only interesting to girls, the crown prince was concerned about August's geometry: "I can help you."

It has to be said that Crown Prince Baozi is very smart, at least he has learned more than August at the same age.

"Yel will see it." August was moved, but he quickly recognized the reality. God knows how Raphael did it. No matter who August asked to help him cheat, Raphael can be found immediately.

"Okay," the crown prince comforted his poor cousin, "I'd like to tell you some good news that might make you happy. My father didn't pass your idea of ​​summer vacation, but he thinks winter vacation is a good idea."

"Really?!"

"Yes, he wants to take us on vacation elsewhere."

"..." Accompanying the king like a tiger is not a relaxing vacation in August's view. It is harder work than studying. "Go hunting white stag?"

"What white deer?" Miss Elizabeth looked over. She was one year older than August, but she was already much taller than August.

"You don't know?" August thought that the whole world knew about Richard II asking Raphael to find the White Hart.

"Now I know." The three sons and daughters of Richard II said in unison, and there was something extra in their eyes. Each of them was full of curiosity about this topic, but no one knew how to proceed.

In the end, Henry, who was sitting with him, said bluntly, "Do you know where the king is going to hunt the white stag?"

August shook his head: "I don't know much, I only know about the White Hart. But if the king asks my opinion, I will definitely suggest Cambridgeshire."

"why?"

I want to see my Hogwarts.August has never been shy about private use of public equipment.

Then, they discussed for a long time about where there would be a white deer, but unfortunately they failed to come up with any bottom-line results. Instead, they imagined a lot of fun traveling.Let this trip, which is still half a year away, finally bring a little holiday feeling.August, who had never hung out with his family before, was thrilled.

I was still talking about this problem until I returned to Raphael's house.

"Like it so much?" Raphael half-forced to push a glass of milk to August.

It was rare for August to resist. After adding a few spoonfuls of sugar, he gulped it all down: "Yes, it would be even better if father could participate."

"You can try." Raphael just received the good news from the frontline this morning, and he decided not to talk to August about it for the time being, so that he can cooperate with the Black Prince to give August a surprise in the future, "William Has not been back for many years, he also needs occasional relaxation."

"Really?" August couldn't wait to tear off the parchment, but he was still talking pitifully, "There won't be any problem with father leaving, right?"

"If there is a risk, he will not agree to you."

"That's right, it won't hurt to ask."

August has added four more yellow ribbons to the oak tree in Bristol Castle, and August really doesn't want to go back and hang another one this year.

"I have a good hunch about that," Raphael hinted at August.

"What premonition?" Father Joe didn't regard himself as a guest at all, came up from the kitchen below with a few slices of bread, and asked August by the door.

"Why are you here?"

"To do a priest's duty for one's employer."

"...What made you suddenly have a conscience after being lazy for so many years?"

"The confession failed." Before Father Joe could find a lame reason, Raphael had already answered the question for Father Joe, "I heard that he confessed to one of your quasi-knights, and was rejected by the other party."

"Who?" August knew that Father Joe fell in love with someone, but he didn't expect him to act so fast.

"John, the red-haired John, is the one Andre intends to accept as an apprentice."

"It's him again!" August suddenly had a lot of interest in John. Apart from the employer's interest in mercenaries, he really wanted to talk to John and discover the bright spots in him.

"What is another?" Father Qiao was very sensitive, "Who still likes him?"

"John has rejected her like he rejected you." August said very bluntly.

The author has something to say: The current situation is that Raphael does not know that August is gay, and August does not know that Raphael is gay.

But they also knew that Father Joe was gay.

Father Joe: ...why?Am I that obvious?
