[Comprehensive] Why am I not dead yet?

"Sandra, Sandra... my daughter, my treasure, you are my child given by the gods - in return for being my child, I will send you the highest glory."

Following Gaia's order, Lian Su came to this world as the only daughter of the mad king Charles VI and named her Sandra.

In the No.18 year when she was the only princess of the royal family, the mad king who was lingering on the sick bed held her hand and left such a sentence in her ear.

In France in 1422, scarred by war, the mad king Charles VI discussed secretly with a group of confidant ministers before his death, and appointed his only daughter Sandra as the next new king.

This edict undoubtedly aroused the opposition and significance of most conservatives and noble ministers who were originally assigned to the crown prince.

In 1422, it was destined to be an eventful year: first, Charles VI signed the Treaty of Telva, the two parties died one after another, and then the mad king suddenly decided to hand over the throne to his daughter who was smart but had no legal inheritance right before his death. A son who has no talent but has the orthodox inheritance right, this behavior undoubtedly caused a new struggle for power.

In the eyes of the nobles, the originally elegant and demure princess has deviated from her usual gentle personality of being indifferent to the world. She suppressed most of the opposition with iron and blood, and completely controlled the entire country in just a few years.

The partisan dispute had just ceased, and the dignitaries in the UK used the Treaty of Troyes as an excuse to say that the young King Henry VI of England was also the new King of France. Use this as a reason to force war on France.

You must know that Lian Su has been criticized for inheriting the throne as a woman. She is restricted inside and outside in this position, and the country has been plagued by wars all year round. On the ground, it was rare to have a bit of leisure time to breathe, and then new rumors were sent to the ears of the nobles in the palace.

"—the girl from Lorraine will save the country."

However, the so-called "saving the country" rumors spread too much and no one believed it. Sandella's ability was seen by everyone. A considerable number of nobles even blindly believed that as long as Her Royal Highness was still there, France would be safe. Nothing will happen, and the Duke of Brenta, one of the queen's confidants and one of the biggest supporters, blocked these things unceremoniously, and told the people below.

"Don't pollute His Highness's ears with this kind of thing."

And when the princess herself heard these rumors, the child had already come to the castle in person.

"'The girl from Lorraine will save the country'...Is this a new joke!? Your Royal Highness, please don't believe such silly things! Don't even meet that dirty country girl!"

Lian Su rubbed her forehead, but did not answer the other party's words.

——There is no doubt that what was handed to her was a bad hand.

Years of defeat, emptiness of national power, loss of most of the people's hearts, the ancient law code that does not allow women to inherit the throne but is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, followed by his brother who is eyeing the throne and has no intention of giving up at all; My brother will never be able to distinguish between the real priority and the current crisis at home and abroad, but he is still staring at the old emperor's will in her hand, wanting to know whether it is true or not...

Even if Lian Su really had the heart to turn the tide, she could only shake her head and sigh for the time being under the circumstances of such internal and external troubles.

She desperately needs an unprecedented perfect victory to establish her position and appease the hearts of the people in the country. According to the progress of history, only she has changed at present, and the rest should be fine, so the so-called "Luo "Girl of the Forest" should be the historically famous Saint Joan of Arc.

Although after so many years of operation, she also has her own contacts and confidantes, but there is no one who is really capable of turning the tide of the battle. Lian Su herself has this ability, but it is estimated that she has stepped onto the battlefield Her brother on the back foot can overturn the camp for her.

...There is nothing more frustrating than having more than enough heart but not enough energy.

The Duke of Brenta beside him was still chattering, Lian Su had put down the book in his hand and stood up from the chair.

"If this 'girl from Lorraine' can really bring me miracles, then it doesn't matter if I believe it." The princess's voice was cold and serious and unquestionable.

The Duke was startled, and immediately retorted subconsciously: "But——"

"It's nothing but, duke, we have reached the point where there is no need to retreat." She said indifferently: "The worst outcome is that Charlie succeeds to the throne, and I die."

The Duke's voice stopped abruptly.

"Leslie." She turned to look at the chief guard who had been standing there for a long time: "What did you want to say just now?"

"Yes, Your Highness," the young man looked at the bearded and staring old duke with some embarrassment, and slightly lowered his voice, trying to make his presence less noticeable: "...that person in the rumors, wants to meet See you."

"How is this possible! This is absolutely impossible!"

The Duke of Brenta quickly raised his voice: "Your Highness's delicate body, what should I do if something happens!"

Lian Su raised a palm to block the angry Duke.

"Want to see me?"

The queen was thoughtful.

"sure."

"His Royal Highness!"

"Oh, there's nothing wrong with it. I'm actually a little curious about how a country boy persuaded the army to let them agree to bring him here."

No matter how reluctant the Duke of Brenta was, he did not disobey the will of the lord. He still relayed the princess's wishes to the rest of the nobles in the castle—because of her brother's decadent life and noble status, so even if At this time, the nobles and ladies in the castle are also having boring parties.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, it was Prince Charlie who was the first to oppose.

"So what Sandra means is that she's willing to meet that weird guy?"

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

Duke Brenta replied respectfully.

Charlie almost quickly made a dissatisfied expression: "How can she be so casual? I don't worry that I will be in danger, I don't agree."

"With all due respect, Your Royal Highness," the duke replied with a half-smile, "His Royal Highness is the orthodox heir to the future throne, so what she says really carries weight."

"Why does the Duke have to be so serious? Just take it as my elder brother's concern for my sister. None of us can guarantee whether this person is an assassin or some kind of evil character."

The Duke pretended to be surprised: "Oh, is this a real worry from you? It really frightens me."

Charlie also raised a hypocritical and stiff smile: "If she is not the one sitting on the throne but just an ordinary girl, I don't need to worry so much about her safety—after all, life is so moody, and no one knows what to do next." What happens in a second."

"--pretty good idea."

Lian Su's voice cut in abruptly.

Charlie and the Duke suddenly choked, looking stiffly at the princess who quietly appeared behind them.

"I told you when I was a kid, it's really not fun to be scary." Charlie said stiffly.

"I also said when I was a child, if you want to hide from others, none of you can beat me, brother."

In the end, the Duke changed the subject: "Excuse me, Your Highness, what good idea do you mean—?"

"He who sits on the throne."

Lian Su's expression was indifferent: "Anyway, that kid hasn't seen me in person, since brother is so worried, why don't we change to a new game."

Charlie frowned: "What kind of tricks are you going to play again?"

Lian Su raised his hand and called Leslie, the chief guard: "Let that child come over."

Immediately afterwards, she picked up the king's cloak held in the hands of the guards at the side, and put it directly on Charlie.

Everyone watched her series of actions in astonishment, completely speechless.

Lian Su herself was very satisfied. She even tied the cloak herself and then patted the snow-white fluff on her shoulders. She raised her head and raised the corners of her mouth.

"Brother, this throne is yours for the time being."

...Charlie couldn't say a word.

He really wanted to laugh and make a joke, saying that you don't worry about me taking your throne just like that, but he couldn't say it.

——or in other words, now, he dare not.

"His Royal Highness... are you laughing?"

He heard someone muttering unbelievably behind him.

Those people's frenzied eyes were almost scalding his back, they looked over with hunger and greed, and the same sentence was written on everyone's face.

"Smile more! Even just a little, please smile more!"

Charlie shivered subconsciously.

The smile on the corner of the real culprit's mouth was fleeting, and he quickly returned to his usual cold and indifferent expression: "Leslie will bring the child over later, and I hope brother will not let me down."

She turned around and raised her voice to the people who gathered around her at some unknown time, and said, "The children from Lorraine will be brought here later. As a test, we will play a little game next: I will find hide in a place, let my elder brother sit on the throne instead of me temporarily, and there is only one thing for you to do—please help conceal my identity and see if the child can recognize me."

The time when Princess Sandra became the legitimate heir to the throne was actually very short. After the will incident broke out, there was still a long period of power struggle between the princes. After all, she really held power for only a few years; in the news In the era of isolation, many ordinary people didn't even know that the current heir was a woman.

Although her move was messy and dangerous, unexpectedly no one was willing to speak out against it.

Charlie has always known that his younger sister is talented and beautiful, and she is also very good at getting along with people and wining people's hearts. She is a natural shining point.

Especially those golden eyes, like a work of art carved out of gold by the most exquisite craftsman, and like the bright sun at noon turned into substance and solidified into her eyeballs.

After all, how could the beauty called "Golden Rose" by countless nobles and ladies be an ordinary beauty?

——That woman is a dazzling existence that makes even the sun feel ashamed.

Charles VI once said: "What an arrogant fellow would be to marry my daughter, king? King? King of the world? I can't even imagine that the child will belong to anyone alone .”

But the princess Sandra has a very distressing, not really a shortcoming.

She doesn't like to laugh.

Put it another way.

As long as she is willing to smile, then she really can do whatever she wants.

But now she smiled, and what she asked for was just a trivial matter, and in the eyes of those who supported him, it was a good attempt.

So Her Royal Highness can really do whatever she wants this time.

But as her brother, a playmate she grew up with, Charlie read something else in those golden eyes.

If he admits he is wrong, then he will kill his elder brother along with him.

With a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, her eyes said such words.

What is hidden in Sandra's eyes is never the warm sunshine, but the seemingly silent and beautiful but extremely dangerous molten gold.

It is true that she has the aptitude and talent to become the king of a country, but she has the heart and character to become a tyrant.

...It is true that if the Lorraine girl admits to the wrong person, she will kill her.

--great.

There was a helpless smile on the corner of Charlie's mouth, thinking with great pain in his heart.

What he needs to consider now is his own personal safety.
