Your Mightiness

Death is like water disappearing into water. - Borges.

Except for Elizabeth, no one will know what happened that night in the Tower of London.Even the people who tied up William II for the Queen Mother in the first place just thought that the Queen Mother, just like in the past years, came to vent her anger on the people locked up in the tower, and tortured the other party until there was no good skin all over her body. will stop.Big men on top are always perverted.

Before leaving, the Queen Mother, who had closed the door of the cell in person, was still downstairs, and told the guards as if she was telling the truth: "Don't bring him water and food for the next two days, and you are not allowed to talk to him. talk, understand?"

The guard hesitated a little.

The queen mother didn't seem to see it, but said to Elizabeth: "Are you right, my dear? My dear Richard is just gone. Why should he live so well?"

The guard was relieved, and then nodded hastily: "I will follow your order."

Elizabeth was still immersed in the horrific scene of her grandfather bleeding all over the ground and being tortured to death, and she was a little afraid to talk to the Queen Mother.She was really terrified by the terrifying power that this thin-looking old lady could unleash. What she was afraid of was not what the Queen Mother had done, but that the usually kind old grandmother could suddenly Just like this, she violently hurt people, and after killing someone, she was still calm, as if she really just came to see an old friend.Just thinking about it, okay? !

Knowing the great reputation of the Queen Mother, and actually seeing her do it are two different things.

"Thank you." The Empress Dowager's every move is full of the kind of well-educated elegance, politeness and decentness. Even in the face of an ordinary guard, she will not show her contempt from the bottom of her heart. "Go get some nice things for the lads, it's so cold in London at night."

It seems that the Queen Mother has finally remembered her persona as a boy who spread wealth once again, generous, gentle and generous.

Even Miss Elizabeth's legs were weak, and every step she took seemed to be stepping on cotton.

After finally returning to Whitehall Palace, the Queen Mother took off the "hood" of her black smock, revealing the beautiful and exquisite black dress of the same style inside, blocking all the bloody smell from the palace gate.Elizabeth also changed into a plain black dress under the "suggestion" of the queen mother. After all, the king has passed away, and this is the most suitable dress.

The Queen Mother had an extra black lace folding fan at some point in her hand. After she tapped Miss Elizabeth's shoulder lightly, it was as if she had cast some magic, making Elizabeth dare not move again.

"Do you know why I took you out now, dear?" asked the Queen Mother.

Miss Elizabeth was stiff all over, half understanding. The Queen Mother was probably trying to beat her, telling her to stop acting smart?But God testifies, she really didn't make trouble anymore QAQ this time after she found out that her uncle was dead, she also tried to remind August and others immediately.It's just that she was afraid that they would not believe her, or suspect that she had some kind of conspiracy, so the reminder was a bit tortuous.

"People will inevitably do some wrong things in this life," the Queen Mother taught her granddaughter, holding the hand of her granddaughter, and walked together on the empty palace corridor, "It's like me, or like you just met someone. In the future, you will become Who, it's all in your mind, understand?"

Elizabeth understood. After she nodded, she couldn't help asking, "Then what if Al doesn't plan to forgive me for the rest of his life?"

With Raphael by Auguste's side, it's not out of the question.

The queen mother did not answer this question directly, because she could not decide for August whether to forgive Elizabeth, whether to forgive or not, it was August's freedom.

The Queen Mother just said: "Didn't your father forgive me at the last moment of his life?"

Sometimes, when we do something wrong, we may not necessarily be forgiven by the other party. This does not mean that the other party is not magnanimous or kind enough, because there is no rule in this world that anyone must forgive the perpetrator after being hurt. If so, then moral kidnapping.But if the other party chooses not to forgive, it does not mean that you who have hurt others can take it for granted that nothing is wrong, or give up seeking forgiveness on your own.

It is easy to hurt, but difficult to heal.

Only then did Elizabeth fully understand the Queen Mother's subtext. Although she did the right thing this time, she had better not be too extravagant that August would forgive her.

"Don't worry, I won't resent Al for not forgiving me."

Although Elizabeth did have the hope that "Maybe August will shake hands with her after finding out what she has done", but she will not blame others for failing to expect.

Harm and help cannot cancel each other out.

After beating Elizabeth enough, the Queen Mother also gave her a sweet date: "Injury is hurt, but help is also help. Orr is not the kind of child who doesn't know how to be grateful."

It means that August will probably still get along with Elizabeth without embarrassment, but if Elizabeth has any troubles in the future, August will definitely not sit idly by, and he will always return the help tonight.

In the brightly lit palace, Miss Elizabeth lowered her head desolately: "But I don't want him to return my favor."

If Mary or Raphael had done this, August would definitely not think about human feelings, because they are a family.

"This is already a very good result." The queen mother patted Elizabeth's hand, comparing her with her two sons, Elizabeth was really lucky.

"I know, thank you."

"Just remember to repay me." The Queen Mother blinked playfully.After leaving the Tower of London, she seemed to have transformed, shed all her hostility, restrained her light, and turned into that plain and low-key little old lady again.

Elizabeth thought the queen mother was joking when she said "repay", but she soon knew it was not.

The Queen Mother went directly to Prince Hei to prove that she came back with all her beard and tail, and nothing happened. She really just went to vent, like every year in the past.

"It's good that you're fine." After the Black Prince was relieved, he sent his mother to Queen Catherine to take care of her.

Elizabeth was left behind and asked a few more questions.

"Is the one in the Tower... all right?" The Black Prince couldn't possibly mention the name of the "dead" previous king in the Tower of London in public.

Elizabeth stood there with lowered eyebrows and her eyes widened. It turned out that this was what her grandmother intended.

But what if you know?

Elizabeth could only bite the bullet and "collaborate with others", and gently reminded the black prince, "He is not very good."

The black prince just nodded indifferently, after his mother left, if the father and king can still get well, then hell be damned.However, not too good is actually a signal, a signal that the other party is still alive.The concern of the Black Prince ended here, all his emotions were devoted to his younger brother's death, and he didn't care about anything else.

Elizabeth was completely overwhelmed by her grandmother, she must have already planned all of this, that's why she didn't even give orders before, because in this situation, both Elizabeth and the Black Prince could only react in this way.

After speaking, Elizabeth was about to leave naturally.

But before leaving, Elizabeth also added a sentence with a heartfelt heart: "After he heard the news of his father's death, his spirit seemed to be even worse."

"Really?" The Black Prince sat on the spot, there was a moment of blankness, and then he finally became a little happy, "Richard will be very happy to know this news in heaven."

At least this shows that his father still cares about his life and death, doesn't it?

Elizabeth stood by the door, thinking that this was probably the only thing she could do for her uncle.When the news of William II's death came, the Black Prince would definitely think that William II died of grief after suffering so much.For the Black Prince who had always believed that there must be a corner of William II's heart where their brother must exist, it was also a request for benevolence.

No wonder the Queen Mother said that after tonight, this will be a happy event for everyone.

Even Elizabeth is more willing to believe that she is loved by her parents, even if her father is not a good father, and her mother... is not a good mother.The second queen only wanted a son before she was alive. She resented Elizabeth for being a girl so much, even though everyone said Elizabeth should be a boy.

"You've worked hard too, go take a rest." The Black Prince didn't want to hold grudges against a little girl like Elizabeth, and his tone was somewhat gentle from an elder.

Elizabeth almost cried because of this sound, she gritted her teeth and bent her knees, and then left the unusually warm room with difficulty.

Her cousin, like her uncle, is the most gentle person in the world, but she lost the rare good things in her life because of her own selfishness. This time she really understood what she was doing. What's missing.

I really, really regret it, but it's a pity that it doesn't help.

……

The thrilling night was just an endless sea of ​​letters for August.This duke, that minister, a country with a population of less than ten million, where did so many nobles come from? !Didn't it mean that nobles accounted for less than 1% of the population?

Henry was also diligently writing letters, but he didn't even dare to complain, even though he was responsible for more than [-]% of the letters.

When Raphael came to Chagang again, August was pouring himself "Islamic wine" just to stay awake.While feeling bitter, Henry also drank one cup after another.The result is that the body is so tired that it seems that it doesn't even want to lift a little finger, but the spirit in the mind is still very active.

Raphael touched August's head distressedly: "Let's go, there is something I need you to do."

Whatever was to be done would make August happy to get rid of writing letters, and he left to put down his pen and go with Raphael.

Henry was aggrieved and wanted to seek comfort from his wife, but in the end...his wife was still waiting for him to serve and comfort her.

_(:з)∠)_I'm so tired, I suddenly want to find a boyfriend, I don't want to be someone else's boyfriend at all.

"We are already married, thank you, and have a boyfriend? Do you think you are young?" Mary sneered, she and Henry must be true love, otherwise she would have gone to find a younger and better-looking lover, "And , Orr and Raphael are uncles and nephews, what are you thinking about all day long? Don't blame me for not reminding you, uncle will never hear someone say that his son is wrong. "

Henry didn't dare to say anything more, but he still insisted on his own opinion. August and Raphael, who were already too close, have now become... gay in gay.
