[Henry VIII] Tudor Crown

"Because this is the most fatal moment for France, no one will be held accountable for the death of the king." The Duke of Richmond drew the red curtain to prevent others from seeing the two brothers' informal appearance: "If The king of France died at the wedding ceremony of his daughter and sister, who dares to get to the bottom of it?"

The Duke of Richmond stared into Guillaume's eyes, making the latter feel chills: "The ones who dare to attack are nothing but the Queen of France, the Duke of Guise, the Spanish ambassador, and the Duke of Savoy. The problem is that none of the people here are A person who can go to a big prison, but if a small person is introduced to take the blame... Do you think everyone is blind? Ordinary people can get close to the king?"

The suspicion in Guillaume's eyes dissipated in this one, and he could even follow the Duke of Richmond's line of thinking and add: "Perhaps they don't need to kill the king, all they need is that Henry II cannot fulfill the king's accusations."

After all, Guillaume also pushed the right leg of the Duke of Richmond to make room for his left leg that was about to go numb: "If the king is not dead, then the royalists headed by the Duke of Montmorency will not be able to make a big splash." search for criminals."

"..." The Duke of Richmond looked at Guillaume with the eyes of a stranger, and after a long silence, he said, "You can be so insightful."

Guillaume didn't understand whether the Duke of Richmond was praising him or hurting him, but he took it as a compliment for the time being, and tried not to deviate from the subject: "Where did you know that Henry II is about to die?" News? I don't want my father-in-law's death knell to be heard at my wedding."

"Don't worry, England and France are separated by a strait! Even if France holds a funeral on the border of England, the death knell will not be heard in London." The Duke of Richmond made a cold joke before answering Guillaume's doubts: "If it weren't for Henry II's imminent accident, father would not let you hold your wedding in England."

"Is it just that?" Guillaume did not believe that the Duke of Richmond deduced that Henry II was about to have an accident based on this alone.

The latter thought hard for a while under Guillaume's questioning, and then gave a fairly appropriate explanation: "If you, me, and Joan were all sold by father as if they were goods, what would mother do? Think? What will you do?"

Guillaume crossed his chest and thought about Queen Juana's usual style, and said with certainty: "It is estimated that my father will be killed by my mother."

Although William III is not an ordinary person, Queen Juana is not a princess shackled by others, but the queen of a country.

As long as she has this mind, it is not impossible to find a chance to solve her pillow.

"Do you think the Queen of France really loves Henry II?" the Duke of Richmond asked, "Even if there is affection, there will not be much left after Henry II has been tossing and tossing for ten years."

"It's scary for a woman to be hard-hearted." The Duke of Richmond seemed to have thought of something, showing a deeply touched expression.

Guillaume stared at his brother's shuddering face, and Dapeng spread his wings on the edge of the cliff of death and said, "You are so experienced, did Mary do something to you again?"

"..."

"It must be what Mary did to you that you reacted like this." Guillaume's determined look made the Duke of Richmond feel very uncomfortable, and then he stood up holding Guillaume's collar and opened the curtain walked out.

"Wait, at least let me wipe your hands!" Guillaume, who finally realized what he said wrongly, looked at the king's seat in a panic.

I saw Queen Juana looking at him very calmly, frowning very calmly.

Knowing that he was cold, Guillaume immediately gave up struggling and let the Duke of Richmond take him back to his seat as a member of the royal family.

…………… I am the dividing line……………

"Honorable Majesty Henry, on behalf of King Philip of Spain, I would like to express my most sincere friendship to you. I also hope that the arrival of Princess Elizabeth will end the disputes between the two countries and bring precious peace to the Christian world." The Duke of Alva saluted Henry II first, then kissed the back of Catherine de' Medici's extended hand, and nodded to Elizabeth de Valois who stood aside.

Catherine de' Medici, who put on a bitter face, looked like a witch in red, and exchanged glances with Duke Alva during the interval of greetings.

The Duke of Alva, who had already greeted the Duke of Guise, scolded the Gorgon from Italy in his heart, but the expression on his face remained unchanged.

I only hope that the French princess who married to Italy will not be as evil as her mother.

The Duke of Alva glanced at the delicate and beautiful Elizabeth de Valois. He couldn't believe that such a beautiful and weak girl was the product of a poisonous woman and a scumbag.

Maybe he should remind Philip II not to indulge too much in the youthful appearance of his new wife.

As the most trusted subordinate of two generations of Spanish monarchs, the Duke of Alva knew that Philip II, like his father, liked older wives when he was young, but after the age of 30, he preferred young girls with excellent fertility .

And like Elizabeth de Valois, the Catholic princess who made Philip II wait for a long time will undoubtedly win the king's favor easily.

Facing the probing eyes of the Duke of Alva, Elizabeth de Valois, who was ignorant of the world, thought that the other party was paying her respects, so she smiled back gracefully.

This made Duke Alva more determined to warn the king.

After Henry II met the senior members of the Spanish mission one by one, everyone rushed to the wedding venue.

"Those damned Spaniards have finally left." Henry II, whose face was frozen with a smile, turned his head and saw Catherine de' Medici who hadn't left yet, so his face sank and he said, "You don't entertain those people from afar. Is there a guest here?"

Catherine de' Medici tried hard to restrain her constant anger, and after getting up to leave, she deliberately looked back.

I saw Henry II adopting a fatherly attitude completely different from just now, holding Elizabeth de Valois's hand, and said softly: "When you arrive in Spain, remember to write to me regularly."

Diane de Poitiers on the side also straightened Elizabeth de Valois's hair, as if they were a family of three, and Queen Catherine, who gave birth to Elizabeth de Valois, was just bought by France. birth tool.

Its role is also limited to this.

"Your Majesty, let's go!" Following Catherine de' Medici, De Elisabeth de Limoy did not know who was more pitiful, her or her mistress.

It's just that under the sunlight, the corners of Catherine de' Medici's eyes were slightly red, as if they were coated with a glass cover to cover up the water vapor.

"Let's go!" Queen Medici moved her throat, putting away the last trace of pity for her husband.

"May God forgive my soul." Catherine de' Medici, who walked into the wedding venue, narrowed her eyes that were stung by the sun, and Isabel de Limoy subconsciously clenched her arms, hoping to Give Catherine de' Medici some encouragement.

…………… I am the dividing line………………

The Duke of Guise found the Spanish knight who was warming up in advance, and after looking at him, he signaled the other party not to be too nervous: "Relax...you won the king openly in the tournament, and this is nothing to be ashamed of." .”

"But Your Excellency...that's the king!" Even with the Duke of Guise and the Duke of Alva as the backing, the knight still looked uneasy: "I killed a king, will I go to hell for it?"

The Duke of Guise really wanted to tell the knight that there is no hell in this world.

In other words, God has combined hell and earth into one, so his worries are worthless.

However, in order to appease the restless knight, the Duke of Guise said as patiently as possible: "After the matter is over, I will arrange for you to go on a pilgrimage to Rome. Presumably there is no sin that cannot be forgiven by the benevolent Pope. "

After hearing the assurance from the Duke of Guise, the knight still hesitated a little, but under the lure of the reward and going to Rome to repent, he crossed his chest devoutly and repented to God: "Lord, please You forgive my sins.

The Duke of Guise went to the Royal Stables again after finishing off the knights duel with Henry II.

In a remote place that smells bad, Miss Claire covered her anxious face with a cloak, and after the Duke of Guise arrived, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then trotted towards the other party.

"Your Excellency!" Miss Claire saluted like a lark stepping on an empty branch, making Duke Guise feel that this common girl who is old enough to be his daughter is so cute and cute no matter what she does.

"Dear Miss Clare, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are becoming more and more fascinating." Although the young Duke of Guise has passed the most charming age, but because of the pampered life and regular exercise, his body It didn't show too many traces of age, but developed an extremely charming temperament.

Miss Clare's face was flushed by the Duke of Guise's smile, but she still kept in mind Catherine de' Medici's instructions, handed a small bottle of medicine to the Duke of Guise, and then left the original place in a panic. land.

"She's a really exciting girl."

Looking at Miss Claire's slender back, the Duke of Guise murmured reluctantly.

Little did he know that this young and lovely girl in his eyes had secretly obtained the evidence that the Duke of Guise could not escape, and was about to claim credit from Catherine de' Medici.
