It's time for the Town Hall Ball.

The day before the ball, the Queen was extremely nervous.She sleeps very lightly at night and wakes up with a start at the slightest movement, so she is always listless and pale during the day.

"The musketeer you trusted, is he back in Paris?"

the queen asked anxiously.

"Not yet, Your Majesty."

"His-"

The queen couldn't help but gasped slightly.

However, Roland, who helped her dress up, was very calm.

"Your Majesty, the worst plan is that we won't be able to get the box of diamond ornaments before the ball. If that's the case, you can push it on Constance and me."

"How does this work?"

The queen is very responsible to her people, and the last thing she wants to see is that innocent people suffer.

"That's no problem." Roland smiled and took out a royal jewelry register that had been prepared in advance, "We will explain that there are some flaws on the surface of those diamond ornaments, which happened to happen two days before the king decided to hold a ball. Sent out for repairs and cleaning."

"We also want to get the diamond ornaments back before the ball, but the craftsmen who repaired the diamond ornaments just happened to be unwell and had to rest for a few days. We can't force the craftsmen to work when they are sick?"

Roland spoke so frankly that even the queen felt that she was stating the truth.

In fact, Roland seems to have been blessed with the ability of "player" in this plane. Not only can he say black is white, but he can also insist that white is white, and a cat is a panda... In front of her aura, there is no One can refute.

"When the musketeer returns to Paris with the jewel, it will be time for the maintenance craftsman to finally recover from his illness."

"This... the great God taught us not to lie." The queen looked at Roland in a daze.

"But God also warned the monarchs not to start disputes, and not to let disasters befall the common people on the land of England and France."

"His Majesty the King wants you to wear the diamond jewelry he gave you to attend the ball, just to mention it in passing. It is icing on the cake that you can wear it, and you have a valid reason for not wearing it. Why are you so unhappy about such a trivial matter?"

What Roland meant: How big is it?

The queen thought about it: ... also.

After the queen was dressed and tidied up, he accompanied her to the garden of the Louvre.

In the eyes of outsiders, the queen is in a stable mood and doesn't take the upcoming ball very seriously.

This situation was quickly sent from the Louvre to the residence of Duke de Chevrez.Madame Chevreuse pursed her lips after listening to Madame de Minalot's report, dissatisfied with the speed with which d'Artagnan entered Paris.

"Hasn't the Gascon man been able to hand over the diamond box with two missing diamonds to the palace?"

"Or... it has already been handed over to the palace, and the people in the palace are too reassured about him, so they didn't even look at it?"

Madame de Minarro sat opposite Madame de Chevreuse, who was muttering to herself, and she could not understand who the "Gascon" and "he" were referring to.

While Madam Chevreuse was talking about the Gascons, d'Artagnan was still taking care of Aramis in a small hotel near Amiens.

Aramis was moved.

During this period of time, he has been with d'Artagnan, and in fact has been monitoring every move of d'Artagnan.But he really didn't expect that after he "feigned an injury", d'Artagnan didn't care to send the diamond back to Paris, but stayed in Amiens to take care of him.

"My friend, leave me alone. Your commitment to others is what matters."

D'Artagnan: Hehe...the diamond has been sent back to Paris by the Fellowship of the Ring.I'm staying here so you can send back some fake news.

For this reason, Mrs. Chevreuse kept getting news that the queen had not received her diamonds, and even if she did, she was missing two diamond ornaments.

Mrs. Chevreuse quietly released the news: the box of diamond ornaments given to the queen by the king on Holy Name Day was given to her lover by the queen in private.However, the lover didn't pay attention to the queen's true love at all, and took out two of the twelve diamond ornaments as pawns, and the royal jewels fell into the hands of others.

When such rumors came out, the king really couldn't sit still.

On the morning of the ball, when he came to visit the queen according to the etiquette, Louis XIII reminded: "Queen, at the ball tonight, I must see you wearing the set of diamond pendants I gave you. Can not be less!"

Leaving these words behind, Louis XIII left.Only the queen curtseying was left in the room, alone, her face as pale as paper.

Roland quickly turned out from behind the screen, supported the queen, and complained secretly in his heart: Louis XIII, the majestic king, can't speak so much.

He can be more emotionally intelligent and say: "Queen, the set of diamond pendants I gave you is a symbol and sustenance of my love for you; I hope you can wear them all and dance with me at the ball. "

This is sure to make the queen feel better.

Unexpectedly, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.The figure of Louis XIII reappeared at the door.

Roland quickly turned back behind the screen.

The king entered the room, walked back and forth in the queen's living room, and said in a friendly voice, "I met the bishop just now, and I had a chat with him..."

The queen was most afraid of hearing the cardinal's name at the moment, so she replied tremblingly, "Yes..."

"I was the one who spoke abruptly just now, Queen—what I really want to express is that the set of diamond pendants I gave you is a symbol and sustenance of my love for you; I sincerely hope that you can wear them all, Come dance with me at the ball..."

It was the first time the queen heard Louis XIII, who was not good at words, say such words, and her eyes widened in surprise.

Roland thought to himself behind the screen: Could it be that what the king said was taught by the cardinal?

Louis XIII himself felt embarrassed after he finished speaking, rubbed the soles of his shoes on the carpet in the living room, and then muttered: "Queen, see you tonight..."

After speaking, he left by himself.

The queen had been happy and worried about this necklace for so long, and she had turned around a thousand times. Seeing such a big change in Louis XIII's attitude, she almost fainted from fright.

Seeing Roland turn out from behind the screen again, she asked as if grabbing a life-saving straw, "Countess, has your...fire~gunner arrived in Paris?"

Roland nodded slightly.

After being dizzy for a while, the queen finally regained her strength gradually—she was finally not afraid.With this pair of diamond ornaments by her side, she is not afraid of anything, and even has the confidence to start anew with Louis XIII.

That night, the ball attended by the royal family was held lively as scheduled in the city hall.

The queen was wearing a gown, and when she entered the hall, she was not wearing the set of diamond pendants presented to her by Louis XIII.

Louis XIII strode up quickly, half questioning and half pleading: "Queen..."

His eyes searched repeatedly for those brilliant diamonds on the queen's clothes, and he was disappointed when he couldn't find them.

Fortunately, Louis XIII said those words to the queen during the day, and with the persuasion of Roland and Mrs. Bonacio, the queen finally understood the king's true intentions. When there were rumors and gossips from the outside world, the king hoped that Their husband and wife can behave as before.

So the queen comforted the king: "I'm going to change my clothes now and put on that pair of jewelry."

The queen hurried to the dressing room of the town hall with her ladies-in-waiting.Louis XIII breathed a sigh of relief.

Madame Chevreuse had been waiting in the hall for a long time by this time.She was amused when she saw this scene, when she suddenly saw Cardinal Richelieu approaching Louis XIII to greet His Majesty the King.

Madame Chevreuse couldn't help approaching, wanting to hear what the cardinal would say, presumably to remind His Majesty the king to count the number of diamond ornaments worn by the queen.

Unexpectedly, when she came closer to listen, she heard Richelieu making a request to Louis XIII: "Your Majesty, it seems that the queen is in a good mood today. After you dance with the queen, can your subject invite the queen to dance a saraband?" dance?"

Sarabande is a Spanish dance, and dancing sarabande is the Queen's favorite hobby.In doing so, the cardinal obviously did what he liked.

This was beyond Madame Chevreuse's expectation—could it be that the cardinal can also dance?

Unexpectedly, this kind of compliment made Louis XIII very happy. He shook his head and refused, saying: "No, since the queen is in a good mood, it should be her husband who invited the queen to dance the sarabande."

"However, I have no objection to the bishop dancing sarabande with any of the noble ladies present, as long as you can invite a suitable dance partner."

Mrs. Chevreuse suddenly saw the cardinal's eyes sweeping over - she quickly inhaled, drew her waist, and raised her chest, with a smile on her pretty face.She really needs to find a chance to communicate with the cardinal, at least to insinuate what's going on.

Dancing to a saraband dance is a good opportunity that fell from the sky.

Unexpectedly, that person's eyes were indifferent, and they passed Madam Chevreuse's face directly.

Madame Chevreuse: ...

In the dressing room, the queen and Mrs. Bonacio looked forward to seeing Roland take out the wooden box engraved with golden letters from the jewelry bag he was carrying.

Roland opened it, took out the set of diamond pendants tied on the blue sash knots from the box, and handed them to Mrs. Bonacio, who would wear these diamond ornaments one by one on the queen's simple but elegant body. In the elegant dress.

"Oh my God--"

Mrs. Bonacio suddenly screamed, and there was no blood on her face.

She happened to be standing behind the queen at this time, and she was wearing the diamond jewelry behind her for the queen.The queen didn't know what happened, so she could only tilt her head and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Mrs. Bonacio exclaimed, naturally because she found that the number of diamond ornaments was wrong, from twelve to ten.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Roland took out two "loose" diamond ornaments from the wooden box and handed them to Mrs. Bonacio: "Constance, don't be surprised. Here are two more diamond ornaments." .”

The soul of the young maidservant had just flown to the heavens, and at this moment she was dragged back by the two diamond ornaments that suddenly appeared in front of her.She quickly put these two pieces on the queen's dress, and then hurriedly joined Roland to help the queen look in the mirror: "Look——"

At this point, the queen completely let go of the big stone in her heart, the corners of her lips slightly raised, and she showed a charming and moving smile to the mirror.

And Roland has always been calm, although she has a secret hidden in her heart:

Those two "missing" diamond ornaments were exactly what she had hidden.

Long before the queen gifted this set of diamond ornaments out of nowhere, she had already withheld these two diamond ornaments and "stolen" them out.

The Duke of Buckingham received only ten diamond ornaments.

Since she already knew that someone was going to "steal" these two diamond ornaments, it would be better to let her act first.

That's what she, Milady, was supposed to do.
