[Henry VIII] Tudor Crown

"Uncle, some things are not good to say in front of my aunt, why don't we go outside for a walk." William Tudor was not sure if there was a secret room for eavesdropping, so he thought of a place where he could see what was there at a glance, Speak to the Duke of Suffolk.

"You all stand guard at the garden gate." The Duke of Suffolk told his followers not to follow, while William Tudor only brought Richard Cromwell with him, and kept an unintelligible conversation with them. The distance, just slowly following behind the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Suffolk.

"The matter between you and that Miss Catherine Willoughby has been stabbed in front of your father. From what you know about your father, you must be able to guess how serious his anger is." William Tudor said in a soft tone The matter that made the Duke of Suffolk's heart tighten, so that the latter stared at his nephew, and said coldly: "Does your Highness want to part ways with me, or do you want to give me a hand?"

"What do you want me to do?" There was no anger on William Tudor's face, which made the Duke of Suffolk feel a little strange, but when he thought of the appearances of William Tudor when he temporarily lived in his house, he felt that this It's a matter of course.

For William Tudor rarely displayed strong emotions.He was like a smiling statue in a cathedral, wearing a death mask that couldn't come off.

"I hope you can help me appease His Majesty the King's anger." The Duke of Suffolk said with an old face, "Also, try to save Catherine Willoughby's life as much as possible, because she is pregnant with my flesh and blood, and I So far there is no legal son."

"But even if that Miss Catherine Willoughby can give birth to a son, what can you give him?" William Tudor said with a burst of blood: "My aunt conceived a child not long after her death, it is not a fake The unborn child of Miss Catherine Willoughby is your illegitimate child, especially in the eyes of God and all who care, and will not inherit all that was of its parents."

"If you are John of Gaunt or Catherine of Valois, you naturally have the privilege to marry your mistress and legalize illegitimate children. But do you think it is possible?" William Tudor's voice gradually became as calm as ice water: "When the relationship between the Church of Rome and England is only one step away from breaking the sky, when my father has declared him head of the Church of England, there is no way you can get an amnesty."

"Whether Miss Catherine Willoughby is safe or not, it is impossible for you to marry her, and this child is destined to be an illegitimate child." William Tudor's words made the Duke of Suffolk very angry, but he could not blame his foreigner. Nephew, because he did it all himself: "I thought His Majesty the King could understand my desire for a male heir."

"The premise is that the poor lady who was betrayed by you in marriage is not my aunt, His Majesty's own sister. And the lady who made the bold move is not your prospective daughter-in-law, then everything is negotiable." William · Tudor asked rhetorically: "My father has not forgiven my aunt for hiding the past of his marriage to you, and everything now makes that past seem ridiculous and stupid. It seems that our family is all fools."

"..." The Duke of Suffolk, who was so choked that he couldn't speak, could only look at the shadow on the lawn.

Under the noon sun, his shadow was twice as big as the Prince of Wales beside him, but in the conversation between the two, the Prince of Wales was the one who dominated.

"In all fairness, I don't want you to be hidden by your father because of this, especially when Queen Anne is pregnant and the Norfolk family is running for the future Duke of York. If you fall, Mary and I will not have a good time." Knock Enough William Tudor changed his tone, and the Duke of Suffolk also heaved a sigh of relief: "Is there a way to appease the anger of His Majesty the King?"

"Of course, I'm afraid you don't want it." William Tudor was ready to be rejected by the Duke of Suffolk: "The first one is to put all the blame on Catherine Willoughby and tell the king that you are I had sex with her when I was tempted or drunk, and was accidentally bumped by my aunt. Afterwards, Catherine Willoughby was sent to a convent, and her son could only be raised by trustees. "

"I can't do that." As soon as William Tudor finished speaking, the Duke of Suffolk refused: "That is my woman, my son."

"You not only want to appease my father, but also want to give Catherine Willoughby and her son an official title, and also want to keep your own reputation intact. Why do you want everything?" William Tudor's words made Sa Duke Falk blushed again, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, please help me. After all, Your Highness has reasons to help me."

"Are you threatening me?" William Tudor's voice became cold again, causing the Duke of Suffolk to see the shadow of Henry VIII in him, so he quickly denied: "I didn't mean to offend Your Highness, but It’s gone nowhere.”

"It seems that you have a deep affection for Miss Catherine Willoughby." William Tudor sarcastically said: "She makes you feel young, and makes you feel that there is someone in the world who is willing to love you when he is young and beautiful." A battered old face instead of a duchess' jewels. And she knows how to arouse your male protectiveness."

"A baron's daughter who has lost her father and mother and can only rely on her deceased fiancé's father, holding considerable property and titles, is like a child walking in the downtown area with gold bricks, waiting to be greedy when she returns home. The relatives were torn apart."

William Tudor felt that love at first sight in this world was mostly a well-designed Oscar drama, but the old Duke of Suffolk obviously refused to agree, but insisted on pleading for his lover: "She is definitely not that scheming Woman, we really love each other."

"Then let us wait and see." William Tudor was not surprised that the Duke of Suffolk would say this, after all, birds of a feather flock together.The Duke of Suffolk could not be Henry VIII's best friend if he had no brains: "You know my father's soft heart very well, so you have to tell him yourself how much you long for a son; tell him how much you care My aunt; tell him how desperate you are for your dead sons."

"In addition, if you want to make Catherine Willoughby look good in front of the world, you have to consider appeasing your aunt's two daughters, so that they can speak in your favor when you get religious amnesty." William Dow Duo slowly revealed his second plan: "Let Catherine Willoughby and her children give up all the property and title of the Duke of Suffolk, and list my two cousins ​​as your main beneficiaries of the estate. Of course , you can leave a little bit for the two daughters left by the second wife, on the premise that your father will not find out that you are leaving something for Catherine Willoughby and her son with this idea, otherwise all your efforts will be in vain. "

William Tudor knew very well that the current Henry VIII, apart from his guilt and love for the Duchess of Suffolk, was angry at the Duke of Suffolk for daring to deceive himself: "You can only make everything appear like an accident, so that you Father really believes that you are determined to save the lives of Catherine Willoughby and her son out of your desire for blood continuation. As for the distribution of inheritance, it also makes father feel that you still have my aunt and him as the king in your heart, and at the same time It also made my father show the posture of standing up for my niece in front of outsiders, otherwise everyone can't take a step back and speak."

Looking at the thoughtful face of the Duke of Suffolk, William Tudor said casually: "Anyway, Miss Catherine Willoughby is really in love with you, and she can always understand your difficulties, right?"

A gust of cold wind swept across the Duke of Suffolk's neck, causing goose bumps.

"Even if there is no title and inheritance, she and your son also have the title of Son of Suffolk, and you always have time to protect your son." So you have to work harder to protect the status of Prince of Wales to prevent yourself from dying. Catherine The Willoughby mother and son are completely over.
