[Pride and Prejudice] Red and Black Queen

The carriage drove all the way back to the capital, and on the way, they finally ran into several heralds sent by the king to find Bishop Jo Wickham to return to the capital, but got lost on the road for no reason.

Seeing that Joe was indeed walking in the direction of the capital, the heralds quickly turned around and went to report to His Majesty the King earlier.

After the herald had gone, Mr. Darcy thought for a while, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

Darcy stared at George and asked, "If His Majesty the King entrusted you with this task, why did a herald come over?"

George touched his nose.

Darcy was taken aback by his guess, "You actually..."

George grinned and gestured to seal his mouth, "Mr. Darcy, you have to think about it before you speak. There is a mistake in this matter, and I am not the only one involved."

As he spoke, he looked at Joe suggestively.

Darcy's anger suddenly rose.

George was threatening him with Joe again!

Darcy saw that Joe seemed to be reading a book with Elijah, and his chest felt even tighter.

Darcy put his clenched hands on the table, gritted his teeth and said slowly: "You are really getting more and more courageous."

He is completely falsely passing on the king's order, first tricking his sister back.

Mr. Darcy wondered: "What are you going to do?"

George smiled and said, "My sister will stay in the capital for the rest of her life..."

He lowered his voice and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "No matter what method you use to keep her."

Darcy was startled.

Every time when he thinks George is shameless enough, George can use new behaviors to tell himself that he can be even more shameless.

Darcy covered his forehead, lowered his eyes, and sighed silently.

Joe is so poor.

System: [Mr. Darcy is really pitiful. 】

Joe, who was reading with Elijah, gave a low laugh.

Mr. Darcy raised his head abruptly and looked at Joe, only to find that she raised her hand slowly and brushed the broken hair by her ear.

She noticed Mr. Darcy's gaze, slowly raised her head in the wisps of light caused by the Tyndall effect, and looked back innocently.

Mr. Darcy thought to himself: This must be an illusion caused by being annoyed by George.

Elijah seemed to have noticed something, but kept his head down and remained silent.

……

When the carriage drove into the capital, I saw countless people gathered in the streets and alleys, as if they were looking at some notices on the walls, saying "Chee Cha Cha" non-stop.

Elijah asked sensitively: "What happened? Did His Majesty the King post all the devil's things?"

Mr. Darcy sent the driver to see what happened.

Soon, the servant came back with a notice.

Several people took a closer look and found that when they were not in the capital, a major event happened in the capital, and the cardinal passed away.

The king put up notices, asking people who knew the situation to actively provide clues.

System: [Master, master... Could it be you? 】

Qiao smiled and said, "Didn't you watch my words and deeds, did I mess around behind your back?"

The system choked.

【No, no, I always feel that this matter has nothing to do with the Mrs. Rochester you let go. Mrs. Rochester is a brave and decisive lady. She might kill for you...】

Joe: "Don't talk nonsense. You can see that the notice clearly stated that it was a death, but it didn't say that it was murder."

【This……】

Joe: "It's really scary. Why do good people die?"

system:【……】

Soon after Joe came back, the herald told Joe to return to the palace immediately.

Elijah was a little nervous, "Do I need to be together?"

Joe waved his hand, "I have already driven away all the residual energy of the devil in you along the way. Don't worry, I will explain to you His Majesty the King."

Elijah breathed a sigh of relief, and he stared at Joe with a complicated expression, "Thank you very much."

Joe smiled and shook his head, "This is my responsibility."

Elijah smiled wryly, with a very strange expression on his face.

George suddenly opened his arms and embraced Elijah, "Brother, I have something to ask you."

George winked at Joe, and Joe turned away.

George took Elijah and asked him privately what happened and why he acted so strangely to Joe.

Elijah hesitated but refused to say anything.

George couldn't ask, so he had to say to Joe: "It seems that you have to ask him in your capacity before he can tell."

Joe: "He's a perceptive guy, and I think he might have sensed where I'm showing off."

System: [That's not because you've played carelessly recently. 】

Joe chuckled, "When my status is high enough, I can naturally collect energy in a simpler way, so why put on a show?"

"Whether I'm Joe, George, or Jojo, my nature has never changed."

System: 【...Yes, master. 】

……

Joe entered the palace and saluted His Majesty the King.

The king was tilting his head, with his fingers resting on his temples, looking unhappy.

At this time, there were no servants or ministers in the palace, only His Majesty the King and Joe sitting on the throne.

The king closed his eyes and said in a low voice: "Bishop Wickham, the reason why I want to interview you...you must already know."

Qiao asked puzzledly, "I don't know, Your Majesty, what do you want to ask me?"

king:"……"

He opened his eyes and looked at Joe.

Joe looked innocent and curious.

The king was in a manic mood and could only press down hard, "Is the devil's story true or false?"

Qiao said seriously: "It is true, the devil has no entity, but he makes trouble by bewitching people."

"Has the cardinal's death anything to do with the devil?"

Joe: "The devil I met didn't want to cause death, but traded with humans by satisfying human desires, so that the person could get his soul after death."

The king looked coldly, "Why do you know so much?"

Joe: "Because I was bewitched by the devil before."

The king sat up straight and seemed very interested in this passage.

Joe picks and chooses to say something to the king, and mentions Mrs. Rochester who has escaped and Mr. Elijah Bennett who has successfully exorcised the demon.

The king gradually became engrossed.

"So, the devil escaped? Will it come back?"

Joe: "After these few defeats, the devil probably doesn't have the energy to reappear."

The king slapped the armrest suddenly, "Okay, you are much more useful than those old guys from the church."

What Joe said was similar to the intelligence he sent people to investigate. The king believed in Joe's ability.

He stared at Joe, and slowly said: "You can exorcise demons, you have the ability to heal diseases, and you even have a good brother, Bishop Joe Wickham. I don't know how to reward you."

Qiao asked suspiciously, "My brother?"

The king smiled, "Although I drove your brother to the countryside, it was not because I disliked him, but because I liked him and wanted to sharpen his character. Since he has already returned to the capital with you, I will Don't pursue him anymore, he hurried back to the barracks, the sea is not peaceful recently, I still need him."

The king covered his forehead, gritted his teeth, and said, "That guy across the sea keeps fighting against other countries, and when his ambition is not satisfied, I will definitely beat him back, beat him back!"

He suddenly raised his voice and yelled, obviously his mental state was not very good, sometimes he was depressed and sometimes excited.

Joe absorbed His Majesty's rich emotional energy, and said, "Your Majesty, have you been feeling unwell recently, can I relieve your pain?"

The king stared at her coldly, as if someone could pull her down and kill her in the next moment.

But Joe looked at him without fear.

His Majesty the King said slowly: "You are very courageous, okay, come up and treat me."

Jo stepped up to the top position step by step, calm and unhurried, she slowly came to the king.

Qiao carefully looked at the king's expression, "Your Majesty, do you feel that your mind is out of control recently, you often can't control your body, and you always have fantasies?"

His Majesty the King stared at Joe and said for a long time, "Is this what you saw, or was someone tipping you off?"

Qiao smiled and said, "I thought His Majesty would not let many people know about this kind of thing."

The king paused.

Qiao thoughtfully said: "This disease cannot be eradicated, but it can be temporarily suppressed."

King: "Temporary restraint is fine, as long as you have any ability, just use it."

It can be seen that he was tormented by his illness and was going crazy.

Joe smiled and saluted, "Yes, Your Majesty."

She put her hand on His Majesty's head, and swept away all the emotional energy of His Majesty.

His Majesty the King suddenly felt that he was refreshed and his ears and eyes were clear, and the manic feeling that had been entrenched in his heart had completely disappeared.

His Majesty the King has never been so comfortable since his illness.

Qiao asked gently: "Your Majesty, how do you feel?"

The king couldn't help saying: "Bishop Wickham, you really have lived up to my expectations of you."

After enjoying such a comfortable moment, it is hard for the king to imagine how he would be without Joe's treatment.

If he has never seen the light, he endures the darkness.

If the treatment is stopped, will his condition get worse?

The king thought for a while and said, "Since you have such abilities, you should serve the royal family well. You will always be by my side from now on."

Joe lowered his head and smiled slightly.

System: [Fuck, master, when will you be able to treat mental illness? 】

Joe: "I didn't cure him, and it's impossible to cure him with the medical level of this era. I just covered him with an illusion. After being completely drained of emotional energy, his mental state will be much better. .”

"Although it is fatal for other people to completely empty out emotional energy, it is life-saving for His Majesty the King."

The system is literally speechless.

Master, she is so treacherous.

……

After that, Bishop Joe Wickham often appeared beside His Majesty the King, and His Majesty the King often summoned Joe in private.

In order to show his favor to Joe, His Majesty the King actually coerced the church to make an exception to promote Joe as a cardinal.

It may take a lifetime for others to go from the purple-clothed bishop to the cardinal, but in just half a year, Joe has reached this position.

His Majesty the King even favored George for Joe's sake.

George made meritorious service again and again in the subsequent battles. This time, because of Joe, no one in the army dared to take his military merits. George also turned himself into an admiral and was even bestowed a title by the king.

George rushed into the parliament again with his military exploits and title.

Although George's character can be very annoying, but when he pleases people, it is difficult for anyone to refuse him. His position in the parliament is becoming more and more important, and he even formed an alliance with Friedrich North .

Because of Friedrich North's promotion, his official career went extremely smoothly.

While Friedrich North was prime minister, George, as his ally, played a pivotal role in Parliament.

At the same time, His Majesty the King appeared less and less in public, and even His Majesty's beloved queen rarely saw His Majesty the King.

The king often shut himself in his study, not knowing what he was doing, and the only person who saw the king frequently was Bishop Joe Wickham.

Even, sometimes, when the queen and the children wanted to see the king, they had to ask Bishop Wickham.

All of a sudden, whether it was the church, the parliament or the people, there were many discussions about the control of the king and the parliament by Joe and George.

Joe and George did not fear the words from the outside world at all, and still acted in a high-profile manner.

The entire capital city is filled with the emotional energy that Jojo needs, and this city has become her gold mine, her oil field.
