Your Mightiness

The king passed away so abruptly and as if he should have died like this. He closed his eyes amidst the crying, and did not have time to wait for the Archbishop of Camberley to perform the final forgiveness ceremony for him.

But August felt that perhaps Mary's forgiveness meant more to Richard II. The most direct evidence was that his uncle was smiling before he died.This man did many wrong things and suffered countless sufferings during his lifetime. Death was really a relief for him.

But for those who are still alive, the death of Richard II is undoubtedly a torture, especially the queen mother who has just reconciled with her son. It is really difficult for her to accept such a white-haired person sending a black-haired person.

Even a guy like William II, who has been a scourge for thousands of years, is not dead, why is her little Richard dead?

The Queen Mother couldn't help being in a state of demonic disorder. She didn't want to keep William II anymore, and she wanted him to be buried with her son.

The Black Prince, who should have been the saddest, stepped forward at this critical moment, holding his bloodshot eyes to prevent the representative's fragile tears from shedding, and he began to issue a series of concise and clear orders: "Henry, take care of your wife; Orr, take Elizabeth down first; Yael, do what you should do, I believe you should have already prepared for these. The Queen Mother and the Crown Prince leave it to me, please give us a short time, before others come ..."The Black Prince needed some time alone with Richard II, he didn't say what he was going to do, and no one asked.

While sobbing, August obediently handed the crying crown prince to the Black Prince, and then left the king's bedroom with the others.

At the moment the door closed, August seemed to hear a suppressed wail, belonging to his giant father.

In fact, the Black Prince is no longer young. Almost all his contemporaries have passed away over the years. Every time he comes back, he will receive countless messages similar to "The Earl of XX has passed away" and "The Duchess of OO has also passed away." The bad news, whether it was those who supported him or those who opposed him, has become a piece of history in other people's mouths, and only he is still alive.Now it was even the turn of those younger than himself to go to heaven.

No matter how powerful the Black Prince was, he couldn't accept it at first.

August wanted to be with his father, but he knew very well that the last thing the Black Prince wanted at this time was the company of others, and his pride would not allow him to lose his dignity in front of his son.The only thing August can do for his father is to walk away thoughtfully, pretending he didn't hear anything.

The others also looked like they were still immersed in sadness, and they were not going to make any comments on hearing the cry.

In fact, August and the others did not go far, but turned around and went to rest next door. During this time, August often accompanied the crown prince here, carefully waiting for the call and needs of the king anytime and anywhere.

There is nothing lacking here, except that there will never be another chamberlain rushing in and saying, Your Excellency, the king has woken up and he wants to see you.

The atmosphere in the house was very depressing, it was inevitable, even if the person who died was a person with a normal relationship, it would make people feel hurt, not to mention that the person who died was a person who was very close to everyone.

The only one who was not affected was probably Raphael. He really didn’t feel at all, he wouldn’t be infected by the atmosphere, and of course he didn’t feel how happy the king’s death was, but his heart was very peaceful, as if someone just smashed a The only thing he worries about is how to clean up the troublesome situation after the plate is broken.As early as when he walked out of the king's bedroom, Raphael had been instructing the people around him to do various things, like a precision instrument that would never go wrong, and he didn't care about anything.

No, it can't be said that, Raphael still cares about something, but he doesn't care about the king's death, what he cares about is August's mental state.

Raphael thought he could not follow the order of the Black Prince, and left such August alone.He meant, look who's in this room, an Elizabeth who hurt August, a Mary who might be hurting August, and her husband...

It's like a pack of wolves!How can he rest assured? !

But it is unrealistic for August to work with Raphael, because Raphael is going to arrange the king's funeral, and at the same time, he will also bring some of his personal goods, which are not suitable for August. The dark side of engagement.

The only thing to do is to ask Mary what is going on.

Thinking of this, the eyes of Raphael and Mary unexpectedly met in the air.In fact, Mary already had a premonition when Raphael did not leave to do things as the black prince said, and now she just confirmed this premonition, and she needed to talk to Raphael.

Saying goodbye to her husband for the time being, Mary and Raphael went to find a room where no one was around, and sat down separately, posing, ready to discuss this uneasy night.

Both Raphael and Mary wanted a quick solution, so it's rare that neither of them kept a secret.

"William caught a group of people plotting rebellion on the way back." Raphael still had a decent smile, crossed his legs, and crossed his fingers, waiting for Mary to give him a reasonable explanation.

"I see." Mary nodded at her. She has eyes, and when she was called into the palace, she was sensitive to see the somewhat different team that the black prince brought back this time. She knew about it herself. , Naturally, he quickly figured out the cause and effect, and understood what Raphael wanted to hear the most. "The first thing I want to declare is that I have no intention of hurting August."

Raphael didn't speak, but just looked at Mary calmly, ready to listen attentively, hoping that the other party would be persuasive enough to convince him.

Listening to the straight back, Mary sat in front of the window, with the moonlight shining on her face, she was inexplicably gentle: "I didn't plan this matter, but I did know about it, and I didn't stop it. I just wanted to put August Sturt called out, not only because he was afraid that he would be hurt by the rebellion, but also because he wanted to pick him clean."

Since Mary planned to protect August, she naturally had enough evidence to prove her innocence.

After some well-founded self-testimony, Raphael finally temporarily dispelled his doubts about Mary, and only warned her: "Next time you encounter such a thing, you may wish to consider notifying me first, so as not to What unnecessary misunderstandings have been caused."

"Tell you so you can stop me?" Mary sneered.

Raphael raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why should I stop you?"

After a moment of astonishment, Mary frowned and said, "You are more cold-blooded than I thought." Mary still thought that Raphael was Richard II's half-brother. With her previous behavior, it was really hard for her to imagine that Raphael could be so ruthless to her elder brother.

Raphael shrugged: "To each other, patricide."

Mary couldn't sit still for a while, she was a little excited, and she didn't know whether she wanted to convince Raphael or herself, "It's just a plan, and he's going to die soon, I..."

"Stop, Miss Mary, I'm really not interested in why you did this." Raphael has always been a person who doesn't listen to reasons. He doesn't really want to know how much other people have to do. "Just do it." If you do, no amount of reasons can change the reality.”

After struggling for a while, Mary decisively gave up her defense, because Raphael was right.

After disarming Mary, Raphael was really going to devote himself to his busy work.This is the best ending Raphael envisioned. He doesn't have to take August to do things that August won't like, and he doesn't have to worry that leaving August alone will hurt him. Mary will take good care of August.

At the last moment when Raphael left the room, Mary still asked anxiously: "You, you wouldn't tell..., would you?"

To whom, Mary didn't say the name clearly, but Raphael has automatically filled in the blanks, nothing more than August and Henry, the only two people Mary cares about.

"I'm not that boring." Raphael made a guarantee that was not a guarantee, "As long as August is safe, you are safe."

The moment the door was closed by Raphael, darkness enveloped the entire room, Madam Mary fell into the darkness, only the cold moonlight remained the same, she bowed her head in the silver light, covering her face with her hands , Crying sobbing again.

As she said to Richard II, she wanted him to die, not in the distant past, but not so long ago.

To be precise, she still had this thought just a few hours ago.She knew that Richard II was near the end of his life, and her desire to kill Richard II became stronger. She felt that she had to do it before Richard II really died.She promised her queen mother...

Catherine of Aragon, like Queen Isabella, has the innocent side of the princess, and the cruel side of the victim after she can't bear it. They all want their husbands to pay the price for their marriage infidelity.

It's just that the former queen Catherine is not as lucky as Queen Elizabeth. She neither has a lover who is willing to lead a rebellion for her, nor does she have a brother who loves her so much that she is willing to take her in against England. Living as a second-in-law wife who cannot see her daughter even though they are separated by a wall.

Richard II prevented Mary from meeting her queen mother, fearing that the increasingly crazy former queen would instill some unbelievable hatred in Mary.

But...preventing Mary from meeting her queen mother intensified Mary's hatred. She was not even allowed to attend her mother's funeral. One can imagine how much damage it caused in Mary's heart.

The former queen Catherine knew her daughter too well. She didn't need to do anything, but she only needed to send a message to her daughter before she died, which was enough to bring about today's situation.

Facts have also proved that one should never underestimate a woman's degree of vengeance. Richard II was right in predicting that the crazy girl Juana's crazy gene did flow in the blood of Catherine's former queen. In the last part of her life, the plan The [-]th death of Richard II was the only way for Catherine to relieve her pain, and her revenge was really almost successful.

This point has a name called Black Prince.

Just now, after the Black Prince insisted on taking Mary into the palace to face Richard II, Mary realized her tangled heart.That mixed feeling of wanting Richard II dead and not wanting him dead.

Fortunately, God was merciful, and before Mary made a big mistake and became as crazy as her mother and aunt, she was prevented from committing a crime that she would never get over in her life.

She finally chose to kneel down, and began to read the only "Bible" that could give her comfort: "ashes to ashes, and dust to dust; in the sure and certain hope of there survival unto eternal life..."

(Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, peace to the sleepers, liberation to the living)
