Your Mightiness

August stayed in the next door to the king's bedroom, and accompanied the crown prince to worry about it all night.However, Richard II slept very peacefully in the dormitory, without any major twists and turns. Although Richard II was still pale and weak when he woke up in the morning, he looked like he would not live long, but at least He has the strength to do things now, and it feels like he was actually recharging his energy last night and waiting for today.

A simple translation of the conversation between August and his uncle when he got up early in the morning reads as follows: Duke: Woke up so early?

King: Of course!Because I want to make trouble!

Duke: Do you want to sleep a little longer?

King: You are paralyzed by sleeping, I want to make trouble!

Duke: Then at least have some breakfast.

King: Eat your paralysis, I want to make trouble!

Duke: ... as long as you are happy.

Then, the king's real confidant, Archbishop Cranmer of Camberley, arrived, and he sent the findings of the investigation about the king's falling horse to Richard II's nose.

August didn't have any way to know what was written on the piles of parchment that the other party carried into the palace.Just like when he left his last words to August yesterday, the king kicked out everyone who had nothing to do with it, even if that person was his son, now this sentence has become even if that person is his son and nephew.

August and the crown prince were not driven very far, just next door, to eat and drink, to have homework and knight novels when they were bored.

The crown prince adapted well to this. With yesterday's experience, he was getting used to waiting. He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with being treated like this by the king. He even shared with August a way to pass the boring time in a good mood.He said that he is much better today than yesterday, at least he is no longer alone.

"Not alone anymore" is a magic line that captures the strangeness of herding.August often thinks that human beings are actually just better evolved robots. He means that human beings think they have flesh and blood, but who stipulates that flesh and blood are not a form of black technology?Auguste began to imagine that the earth is an alien robot experiment base. Generations of ancestors and generations have been completing the "evolution" that may only be research work in the eyes of aliens. The uncontrollable herd mentality of human beings is a kind of The robot has not yet completely reached the embodiment of perfection.

Cough, it's a bit far away, August really needs something to divert his boring attention, because he even seems to smell a burnt smell coming from the next door.

August's next door is the king's bedroom, what can he burn?Didn't you say you want to make trouble?

No no no, August forced himself to focus on himself again, trying to have some fun.

Soon, "Lezi" appeared. The other party was dressed in aristocratic attire, and walked into the palace through the main entrance calmly, as if the one who sneaked in last night was not him. He didn't feel guilty at all. terrible.

Yes, this person is August's current boyfriend who has been dating for two days.

As soon as the other party came up, he started to care about August because of his Oscar-winning acting skills: "Are you okay? I waited for you at Hampton Court Palace yesterday."

While performing, don't forget to eat tofu.

The crown prince was not surprised by this, because he didn't think this kind of thing was called eating tofu at all. Rafael used to do it often, but he did it secretly at that time, and now he has become, er, a bit more aboveboard.

"It's, it's okay." August's performance was not as good as Raphael's.One is that he is not very good at acting, and the other is that he is wearing very "noble" clothes today in order to make Richard II happy.Leggings or something, heck, this is a dress that August didn't like very much in the past. He always felt that it was too aggressive. Although he is gay, he is not that gay.

The crown prince took the initiative to explain the current situation to his cousin and uncle Rafael: "Father was in poor health yesterday, and my cousin couldn't go back. I forgot to send someone to tell me about the situation. This is my pot."

Rafael and August looked sideways at the crown prince together. Raphael was a little annoyed that there was a feeling of the crown prince everywhere, and August was a little moved. His cousin with such a weak personality took the initiative to stand up and take the blame for him!Although he didn't need it, his cousin didn't know it. What Richard II said yesterday was right. August also hoped that he and his cousin could be good brothers forever.

"Father has just improved a little today." The crown prince was under great pressure from Raphael, and after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he mustered up the courage to continue changing the subject, "Do you know what he wants to call you into the palace? "

"Actually, I don't know. But I know he also informed the Duke of Norfolk."

The Duke of Norfolk is a very famous name for the royal family. The three generations of the Duke family are all famous families, and they are entangled with the Wang family. August can't always remember who they are.The person entering the palace now is actually the third generation of the Duke of Norfolk. Two of his female relatives have had a love history with Richard II. His niece Anne Boleyn is the second queen of Richard II. In other words The Duke of Norfolk is Miss Elizabeth's uncle; her niece Catherine Howard is the lady who almost married Richard II but was discovered because of an affair.

Every time he thinks of this tough young lady, August wants to say something, the three of them will always be the three of them, always be the three of them.

The Howard family of the Duke of Norfolk can be said to be one of the largest foreign relatives during the reign of Richard II. Their ambition to support Miss Elizabeth is well known.

However, there is no guarantee that under the current circumstances, they will change their political investment, such as selecting a girl of the right age from the family to marry the crown prince again.

August recently heard that the name of the Duke of Norfolk was on Richard II's "must get rid of" list, and the position was very high.

Silently give the Duke of Norfolk some wax.

Then August realized, no, the king wanted to arrest the Duke of Norfolk, so why did he ask Raphael to enter the palace? !August finally understood Raphael's hint, and he looked at Raphael anxiously.But Raphael was very calm, and even had the leisure to talk to the crown prince, discussing the content of an obsidian button on August's body.

August really didn't understand these nobles very well, so he could only continue to imply to Raphael anxiously, is this the time to discuss buttons?Raphael is already in danger!Who was it that had reminded him last night how terrible a king would be if he gave it a go? !

Why was Raphael able to show such, such a calmness of "disregarding life and death"?

Of course it was because Raphael had already made two-handed preparations.

When the Duke of Norfolk also arrived, the king summoned the two of them. Although they were still in the king's bedroom, the summoning this time was much more formal than the summoning to August yesterday. On the bed, there was even a bloody aura that came out of nowhere on his face.

Regardless of the obstruction of others, August stubbornly took a place for himself in the king's meeting. The crown prince continued to act as August's little tail. He also wanted to listen in, but he was too timid to follow his own family. Cousin rubs against the team.

Richard II glanced at the two future kings and wanted to drive them out, but when he met August's blond hair, Richard II fell silent.He remembered some words of his elder brother before he abdicated - "I don't care how much you act like a spoiled bastard, I will never refute your face in front of others, because you will soon be the new king of England. I will remember who you are, and I hope you will remember who you are."

Today's two quasi-kings, one sixteen and one ten years old, don't have much majesty in themselves. Richard II said helplessly in his heart that he can't let them have no majesty anymore. By the way, he also hopes that they can learn how to be a good king!

Good King Rule 001: Talk nonsense with your eyes open.

"The purpose of my summoning you into the palace this time is more guesswork than you should, right? Yes, I can feel that my life is not long, and the two of you are the people I trust the most..."

The crown prince and the Duke of Norfolk believed in such a deathbed trust almost at the next moment.

Raphael wore a smile that was not a smile, polite enough, but less sincere, and he even had the leisure to flirt with August under such a high-profile situation.

August looked at his nose and his heart, pretending he didn't see anything.

However, Auguste also understood what Raphael meant. Richard II was just talking nonsense, but he still didn't know what Richard II was talking about for the time being.

Good King Rule 002: Take proper care of your subordinates, both in life and at work.

Richard II waved his hand and said, I can probably fight for another 500 years, so I put aside all the troubles for the time being, and I should first care about what you are busy with recently.

The Duke of Norfolk is the Minister of the Navy, so what he can talk about is naturally the navy and naval warfare.According to the Duke of Norfolk, he is full of confidence in the "Mary Rose" built by the navy. If those Frenchmen provoke again in the future, they will definitely make them cry and go back to their mother!

As the future king of the French, August raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

"You're doing well." Richard II's wrinkled and age-spotted face showed a discordant false smile.After praising the Duke of Norfolk, Richard II looked at Raphael.

Raphael has always been called the Shadow King, because his scope of work covers almost all the government affairs that the king is too lazy to do.

Recently Raphael is busy with diplomacy, with Wales, Ireland and Scotland.The British Isles have always been regarded as their own back gardens by the successive kings of England. Although, cough, the kings of England did not actually rule the British Isles in the true sense, they were only the kings of England, but that did not It doesn't affect them from the day they ascended the throne to feel that they are actually the kings of the British Isles.

It is only recently that Wales has completely returned to England, thanks to the iron hooves of the Black Prince and Richard II’s old rogue-like legal policy—passing two bills to “completely eradicate all customs and customs related to Wales” (Quoted from the original text of the historical act), including language.

No matter what the Welsh nobles think, anyway, Raphael has been focusing on this matter for the past year, assimilating Wales, and avoiding the trouble of uprising as much as possible.

As for Scotland and Ireland, where the Black Prince hits half...

"I have a new idea." Raphael's simple words caught the king's real attention.

Richard II wanted to trick Raphael, but Raphael tricked the king instead.Before the king died, the king would need him even more, and he couldn't do without him, so naturally he couldn't deal with him.

What can attract Richard II, the dying king, is naturally to satisfy his ambitions of warmongering and expanding territory.

Raphael has always known that Richard II wants to leave something in history, other than his ridiculous marriage history, he does not want to be a great king, but at least he does not want future generations to abdicate his brother His actions were rated as "stupid".It's just that Richard II's understanding of how to be a good king is different from that of normal people. He is not interested in loving the people like a son, and only devotes himself to day and day.

It's like fighting against the Holy See. Really, looking at history, Richard II is the only one who dares to fight against the Holy See. I dare not say that there will be no one in the future, but it must be unprecedented.

After being hinted by Raphael, Richard II, who was planning to make trouble, had greater ambitions.

Richard II began to feel that his brother would be very happy if he had settled matters in the British Isles before his death.Hey, he is really dying, if he is given more time, he thinks he might even be able to handle the affairs of Aragon and Castile together!He was going to die anyway, who would care about a dead man?As for what happened after his death, that was what his son should worry about!
