[Henry VIII] Tudor Crown

Guillaume suddenly discovered that the Duke of Richmond had become as terrifying as Queen Juana.

For example, now, when the Duke of Richmond lowered his light eyelashes, and every inch of his calm face seemed to be polished by the sun like a plaster statue of Michelangelo, Guillaume would not be very romantic. To praise, his brother can completely replace Giuliano de Medici, the most beautiful man in Italy decades ago, and become a new generation of reference for Mars or Apollo statues.

However, in this situation, there are only 1 panicked Romans left in Guillaume's mind. While fleeing in their own direction, they shouted "Pompeii, Pompeii!"

It's an apocalyptic view.

"You're really promising. Ahh!" The Duke of Richmond naturally couldn't punish his younger brother in front of Princess Margot, so he patted Guillaume on the shoulder and gestured with his chin: "You, Come with me."

Guillaume hugged Margot subconsciously, like a little brown bear being dragged to a bath hugging his life-saving stake.

The Duke of Richmond took a deep breath, his whole face interpreting the word "restraint".

Fortunately, Guillaume is not a person who is so dull as to die, and soon let go of the arm that was tightly hugging Princess Margot, as if an invisible arm had grabbed the back of the neck of fate, obediently followed the Duke of Richmond.

"Are you okay!" A beautiful voice stopped Princess Margot from staying in place.

She turned her head, and saw a bright girl who was three or four years older than the Duke of Richmond stretched out her hand to her. She was so beautiful that Princess Margot couldn't find any adjectives.

Even if the princesses from all over Europe stand in a row, the other side can stand out in the first place.

"Your Majesty, please accept my sincerest apology for letting you see me being so rude when we first met." Princess Margo is not an idiot either, she knows that she can come and go freely in St. The girl who appeared with the Duke must be Her Majesty the Queen of Scotland, her future sister-in-law.

"The way you pretend to be mature is really like the old Alexander." Although Mary Stuart was the king who was snatched by the English, William III was her cousin by blood anyway, so she felt very sorry for this cousin. The niece is not bad.Not only let Mary Stuart receive the best education with the Duke of Richmond, but also let Mary Stuart regularly correspond with the Earl of Morley, who was regent for her, and the Countess of Surrey, to learn how to Be a good queen.

Princess Margot was a neglected child by her father, so she never saw such a lively girl as Mary Stuart.

But for Mary Stuart, the arrival of Princess Margo is nothing more than the addition of a playmate with a similar status.

Although Catherine de' Medici hated people with the surname Guise, it did not prevent Mary Stuart from being friendly with Princess Margot.

Especially after Joan moved to Wales, without a sweet and soft little girl to follow, Mary Stuart's life was only left with the gradually Williamized Duke of Richmond and a table full of homework, And the frequent reports and guidance letters from the Countess of Surrey.

For a girl in adolescence, this is undoubtedly torture—a torture that countless people want to experience.

Princess Margot stood anxiously in front of Mary Stuart, not knowing what she was going to do next, and how the Queen of Scotland would treat her.

After Princess Margot saluted, Mary Stuart bent down and kissed her on the cheek to express her welcome to Princess Margot.

"Since Alexander has taken Guillaume away, leave it to me!" Mary Stuart's eyes fell on Princess Margot's thin shoulders, and she felt that it was necessary for the other party to formally meet the king and his wife. , dress up for her.

………………… I am the dividing line…………………

Spain, Extremadura Abbey of Euste.

Lying on the softest fabric, Charles V stared blankly at the crowd around him, whimpering for no reason.

Philip II, who had come all the way, knew that under the heavy quilt, Charles V's swollen and unsightly legs were hidden.

Since the end of the war between Austria and the Principality of Milan, Charles V's gout symptoms were like starving refugees. After the Roman emperor ended his meeting with William III, he frantically ate away at the king's body until Charles V could no longer stand up.

"Philip... Mary... Carlos, and Jelomin, where are you all?" The dying Charles V instinctively called out the name he was most worried about.

A few months ago, the Spanish court had just sent away Eleanor of Austria, the former queen of France who retired here with Charles V.

Surrounded by her brothers, sisters and daughters, she left forever the world that brought her pain and joy, and found eternal peace in the embrace of God.

And now, it was Charles V's turn to accept the gold coin of death and prepare for God's judgment.

Philip II's expression was a little unnatural when he heard "Jerome", but he still held his father's hand and said gently: "Father, I am here, Carlos is here, and Aunt Mary is also here .If you have anything to say, just tell me!"

After hearing his son's voice, Charles V seemed to wake up a bit, but Mary of Austria, who had already sent away too many relatives, knew that this was a flashback of her brother, so she held back her tears and asked softly, "Your Majesty, is Your Majesty Philip in the future?" Here, what unfinished wish do you need us to help you achieve?"

Unable to move, Charles V waved to his sister, who knelt down in front of the king's hospital bed, clasped Charles V's withered right hand with both hands, and assumed a posture of listening.

"After I die, you must promise to treat your aunt well, listen to her advice, and don't be an unreasonable and impulsive person." Charles V folded his hands together and pressed them tightly with all his strength , as if to nail the palms of Mary of Austria and Philip II together, even the voice was undeniably firm: "I have done many things to my family in this life, so I am dying Now, I would like to ask for your forgiveness so that I may find eternal peace with God."

Mary of Austria rested her forehead on the back of Charles V's hand, trying not to let her brother see her crying.

Philip II restrained his urge to cry with a complicated face.

It is true that Charles V was not a flawless monarch and father during his reign, but no one in Europe would deny that he was a qualified monarch and father.

If Charles V married a gentle and virtuous Catholic princess when Isabella of Portugal died, then Philip II would not have succeeded to the throne smoothly, let alone have the courage to question his father's decision.

At this moment, even though Philip II had many conflicts with his father, he had to say from the bottom of his heart: "You have nothing for me to forgive, because you are the monarch I always wanted to be. .”

Charles V's brows completely relaxed at this moment.

He stroked his son's hair for the last time, just like he and Queen Isabella did when Philip II was born.

The Duke of Gandia put an ancient cross on the chest of the Roman emperor. The latter finally let go of the hands that bound his son and sister, held the cross tightly, and then kissed it reverently.

"This is the queen's cross. I hope you can get God's forgiveness." The Duke of Gandia stepped back, holding back tears, watching the Roman emperor talking nonsense that they couldn't understand.

"I hold tightly to the cross you loved most in life, and hope you can forgive me for my infidelity and helplessness after your death."

"God will accept my sin and soul, but will you meet me again at the gate of heaven?"

"Isabella..."

"Oh, God!"

Charles V looked at the curtain lazily, and all the muscles on his face relaxed in an instant.

Marie of Austria finally broke out into uncontrollable cries.

Philip II tried his best not to cry back the tears in his eyes, and let everyone pray for the soul of the emperor.

At this moment, Philip II experienced hesitation and fear that he had never experienced before.

When Charles V was reborn, he was the "Prince King" who liked to sing against his old father and act recklessly.

Although Philip II was always afraid of this omnipotent father, with Charles V behind him, he could always see a not tall and reliable figure every time he turned around, which gave him the confidence and courage to move forward .

And now, this figure has returned to the embrace of God.

So Philip II was confused about his future with Spain.

After half of the people in the room left, the Duke of Gandia took out two documents as thick as books from his arms, and handed them to Philip II and Mary of Austria respectively.

"This is something written by His Majesty the Emperor when he was awake. It contains all his unfinished words." The Duke of Gandia crossed himself, his wrinkled eyes showed his concern for Philip II: "The Emperor is here Your illegitimate brother was mentioned in your life and in your will, and I hope you don’t blame him. Because children cannot decide their own origins, the parents who brought them into this world are responsible for this sin.”

The hands of Philip II turning over the will trembled for a moment, but the expression on his face was still extremely calm: "Your Excellency, I have expressed my views before my father died, so I will not have narrow resentment towards Jelomin. "

"That's good." The Duke of Gandia wondered how Philip II accepted the fact that he was not his father's only son.

At the same time, Charles V also stated in the will that Jeromin was a member of the Habsburgs, and gave the name of his mother, Queen Juana, to the youngest son, and also entrusted Philip II to grant Jeromin the title and be responsible for the his education.

He even... hoped that Jelomin would marry Joan of England.
