Grasp the farming script in the famous book

Roland shrank behind the huge hedge, avoiding the eyes of the British mission guards.When they confirmed that there was no one in the garden, Roland still stayed in the wide shadow of the trees, listening quietly to the whole garden becoming quieter and finally silent.

This kind of silence gradually made the nightingale's cry and the grass insect's chirping clear.And the sounds of music and talking and laughing from the direction of the palace became more and more erratic.

Roland could even hear his own heartbeat.

She took a deep breath, and wanted to take a step from behind the shadow of the tree, when she suddenly heard someone coughing lightly.

Roland quickly retracted - footsteps sounded, and someone slowly walked into the garden in Amiens.

It's a man.

Roland saw his shadow behind the hedge.He wore a courtier's dress, without a sword, and his tight trousers and boots accurately outlined the graceful lines of his long legs.

Soon he walked into the open space, and the moonlight just shone on his face——

It was a very, very handsome man with curly golden brown hair.He looks about thirty to forty years old, with two thin mustaches on his lips.

This is the Duke of Buckingham.

Roland had never seen the favorite of the King of England before, but the woman's intuition told her—it was the one in front of her.The most handsome man in the entire continent of Europe could not reach this height with any other face.

Buckingham's eyes turned sharply round the garden.

Roland quickly suppressed his breathing.She was very worried about herself, maybe she was in a hurry to inquire just now and accidentally leaked her whereabouts.

The man might have really become suspicious, Roland heard his footsteps and took two steps closer to this side.

Looking at the cloak in his hand, Roland made up his mind to take risks.

She threw the cloak over her body, covered her hair with the hood, and hid her eyes in the darkness as much as possible.

Then she took a step out of the hedge, her patent leather shoes rustling on the long grass.

Buckingham instinctively pressed his waist. Obviously, although he didn't have a sword, he had at least one self-defense weapon like a dagger.

When he saw the woman turning from behind the hedge, Buckingham withdrew his hand quickly and stayed where he was, trying to make out whether this was the person he wanted to see.

"Can't you be polite, my lord?"

Roland lowered his voice.

She didn't dare to speak much at all, because there was still a lot of difference between her French with a Parisian accent and the Spanish accent that Queen Anna spoke.

The only thing she is similar to Anna is her manners.

This is due to the previous experience in the plane of Monte Cristo, and Miss Tanglar's training in the girls' boarding school.Her straight waist, slightly raised chin, and majestic and solemn steps are enough to make people believe that the one in front of her is the queen of France with all manners.

Sure enough, just as she took two steps forward, the Duke of Buckingham had already strode forward. Without saying a word, he knelt down on his knees and bowed his head to kiss her skirt.

Roland took a step back, and her skirt slipped deftly from between Buckingham's fingers.

She was wearing a special serge material, and Roland was worried that he would be recognized by the Duke of Buckingham.

"queen……"

Regret was suppressed in the man's voice.

"Tomorrow... Tomorrow I will lead Princess Maria out of Amiens. I will lead the princess on a journey and take her to become the queen of England."

Roland considered his words carefully, and finally asked reservedly:

"Isn't that your duty, my lord?"

The Duke of Buckingham sighed with regret: "I helped a girl become a queen, but I have to say goodbye to the queen in my heart. My heart will never have a place to rest. This prospect makes me shudder..."

Roland listened to Buckingham's endless love words with an expressionless face, secretly scoring in his heart: six points for sweetness, eight points for greasy...

"That's why I urgently asked to see you, hoping to see you one last time before leaving."

Roland's eyes flickered: it turned out to be an "urgent request to see me".

The Duke of Buckingham came to the garden of Amiens under the pretext of "urgently seeking an audience", and asked the queen to get rid of all the entourage and meet him alone.

Let’s not talk about what happened between the two if the relationship between the two was really hot; Even with a mouth all over her body, she couldn't tell clearly.

The Duke of Buckingham is alright, at most he was evaluated as "flirty", which might alleviate people's suspicions that he had an improper relationship with King James I.

But Anna faced serious damage to her reputation.

She is the queen of France, and her marriage to Louis XIII broke down, which affects not only this couple.

Roland was anxious.

She wondered if Luna had found a helper, if she had found Mrs. Bonacio to pass on her words.Has Mrs. Bonacio dissuaded the queen, and will the queen come to the garden regardless of the "urgent" request of the Duke of Buckingham?

She was silent here, but the Duke of Buckingham had already stood up and stretched out his arms to her.

Roland raised her eyes, and her lake-blue eyes were quietly looking at the handsome face of the Duke of Buckingham.

"Your demeanor tells me that you who stay here will fall into loneliness just like me."

Roland didn't make a sound. At this moment, she was suddenly a little interested, wanting to hear what Buckingham had to say - how he planned to end this matter.

"As long as you open your mouth and let me hear a sentence, a sentence from your heart, my heart that is already riddled with holes can respond to you."

"You say……"

Roland whispered a word of encouragement.

This sentence of encouragement has worked very well for the Duke of Buckingham.

"In order for me to see you from time to time, there will be a war between England and France."

"I have already planned to send troops to the Ile of Ré, and to form an alliance with the Huguenots in La Rochelle. The Huguenots have been seeking a civil war, and England is willing to help them."

"Only a war between great powers can bring about peace talks between two countries. At that time, I will definitely become England's negotiator and go to Paris to negotiate. I will be able to see your beautiful figure again and feel your tenderness."

"At that time, the two sides will inevitably meet each other in battle, and thousands of lives will be lost on the battlefield. Thousands of families will be mourned because of this, wives will lose their husbands, and children will lose their fathers..."

"But so what?"

"In order to be able to see you again in a dignified manner, I regard all this as a 'necessary sacrifice'."

Roland: Good guy...

But then she found herself compelled to respond, for the Duke of Buckingham's eyes were fixed on hers.If she doesn't respond again, she will be ruined immediately.

So she put her hand on her heart and made a surprised and helpless tone, "Oh, my God!" She imitated Anna's tone and sighed.

The Duke of Buckingham was very satisfied with this, he took a step forward, and gently held Roland's hands with his hands. "I believe that your younger brother, the King of Spain, will not sit idly by and watch your plight in France..."

Roland thought to himself: Sure enough, Buckingham's real intention is indeed this.

But he was able to package this despicable political trick with the most blazing, boldest, and craziest love in the world.

poor queen! ——Roland couldn't help thinking, this really confirmed an old saying: people's hearts are sinister.

Ladies, please keep your eyes open.

The more lonely the more unfortunate, the more so.

In this world, how many people say that they are beautiful and admire your pure and kind heart like an angel, but they only see your youthful beauty for a while in their eyes, and they think in their hearts to use your family brothers, everything can be used of.

Roland felt the Duke of Buckingham's hands trembling slightly, and they were clenched tighter and tighter.

"Please let me go!" Roland said decisively.

She jerked her right hand out of the opponent's hand.

But he didn't expect that the opponent was very strong. Instead of pulling out his left hand, Roland was dragged towards the opponent instead.

The Duke of Buckingham relied on the fact that there was no one in the garden, thinking that she could do whatever she wanted.

Furthermore, he was very confident, firmly believing that no woman in the world could resist his fierce offensive, especially Anna who was in loneliness and solitude.

Who knows, he just stretched out his hand to draw the woman closer, intending to send a sweet kiss to her forehead.Suddenly he felt something strange on his chest—it was a cold round iron object, the flintlock gun in his hand, and the muzzle of the barrel made of fine steel was tightly attached to his chest.

With a "click", the woman actually buckled the bolt with one hand.

When did French gun technology become so good?Not only is the flintlock so compact, but it can also be bolted with one hand?

"who are you?"

asked the Duke of Buckingham in a low voice.

He has already distinguished from this sharp and powerful temperament: this is definitely not the queen, definitely not Anna.

"let go!"

Roland lowered his voice and reminded again.

The Duke of Buckingham was terrified, and obediently let go of her left hand.

Roland finally freed his hand and took off the hood of the cloak.

The Duke of Buckingham was dumbfounded, and it took a long time before he said: "You...you are very similar to the queen..."

Although he recognized the wrong person, it was not too wronged.

Roland breathed a sigh of relief, planning to start talking to the lord about the aftermath.The one in her hand is the latest flintlock developed by Prince Andrei's workshop. It is small and light, easy to use, and it is hidden in her cloak. If it is not used, the other party will not be able to find it.

But immediately she heard hurried footsteps behind her.

Mrs. Bonacio's voice sounded, and said helplessly: "Queen, queen..."

Roland: Very good, the Lord has come.

Sure enough, it was Queen Anna who came.She even wore a white satin dress as everyday casual clothes, and rushed here in such a hurry.

When she ran in front of Roland, the queen was a little out of breath, and said to Roland intermittently, "Countess, are you okay?"

The queen just saw a man standing face to face with Roland talking, and before saying a few words, the man stretched out his hands and pulled Roland closer to her.But Anna didn't see Roland's flintlock hidden in his cloak at all.

So the queen was convinced that the man who had emerged from the garden was entangled with her lady-in-waiting.

But once she ran up to him, there was no reason why the Queen would not recognize the Duke of Buckingham.Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears.

"Sir..."

Anna of Austria trembled.

"Queen, please forgive me for identifying the wrong person just now. I never thought that someone in your court would want to fool me, a fool who is in love, by pretending to be..."

Roland quietly raised a corner of the cloak so that the Duke of Buckingham could see clearly the brass barrel of the flintlock under her cloak, which was reflecting the cold light at the moment.

The Duke of Buckingham was about to accuse Roland of pretending to be the queen, but immediately changed his words: "I am indeed a fool to get lost in the garden."

The author has something to say: ① This paragraph is based on the self-report of the Duke of Buckingham in Chapter 12 of the original book.The Huguenots refer to the Calvinist Protestants in France. They were reconciled with the royal family in 1598 by the "Nantes Pardon" issued by King Henry IV of France.But in the period of Louis XIII, the civil war broke out again, and the Huguenots used La Rochelle as their stronghold to confront the French king's army and received the support of Britain.The war ended with the defeat of the Huguenots.
