Dominate the Treacherous Realm
Chapter 827:
"I want to talk to her alone."
"Alone?"
Miss Windsor raised her eyebrows. She watched Jenkins’s cat lower her head to eat, and said:
"You shouldn't be..."
From the point of view of the gifters, it is not difficult to change one's thoughts, especially ordinary people's thoughts. Even if Jenkins does not lie about the priesthood, he still has a variety of methods to make Queen Isabella "change her mind."
"Yes it is."
He admitted quite candidly.
Julia, Sigrid, and Dolores didn’t respond. Queen Isabella had nothing to do with them. Hathaway and Britney were a little surprised, but only surprised. If Jenkins succeeded, they would immediately be The king's fiancée, no one would object to this kind of thing; Alexia, Miss J and Miss Windsor nodded in agreement. In their opinion, this is the right way. It is not a good habit to hesitate.
Only Jessica suddenly stopped holding the glass in her hand, but quickly recovered.
"Don't you want to say something?"
Miss J jokingly touched her with an elbow.
"I support all Jenkins's decisions. Although I don't know why he is so anxious, he is right to do this when things have reached this point. Otherwise, all the preparations we have made will be wasted. It's just... I hope you don't kill her."
Although she has witnessed everything in the world of possibility, Jessica is still softened.
"I didn't say I wanted to kill."
Jenkins defended himself, and then proposed:
"Go to see Queen Isabella after dinner, and the three of you will go with me. Try to deal with this matter before dinner, so that the Evening News can print news in time."
Miss J, Miss Windsor and Jessica all looked at him suspiciously. Seeing him with a confident look, they nodded:
"I am willing to help you."
Chapter 1984 Chapter 1955
There were too many things in the speech at the city hall in the morning. The important personnel involved in this speech should have been interviewed by reporters after the speech, or at least expressed their public opinions.
But apart from Cheslan’s young heir, neither Queen Isabella nor Sarhi II appeared in public. After lunch, Jenkins and his family didn't know where to find Queen Isabella.
Later, it was Jessica who got the information. Queen Isabella was not going to participate in the afternoon meeting. After leaving the city hall at noon, she did not return to her house, but went to the Martell Racecourse.
Jenkins in Nolan and Shire, have been to the place called "Mattel Racecourse". Among them, Nolan's Martell Racecourse is the resident of the circus that has gained a powerful force through the mirror world in winter.
After the circus fled to the mirror world, the Martel Racecourse became the only stable passage to the mirror world in the material world in a short time. Later, Jenkins and three friends experienced an adventure in the mirror world. Together with Sigrid, they defeated the nameless horror that had awakened from the depths of the mirror world and obtained a black stone of calamity. The original **** of lies also specifically came to remind that the black stone must be properly kept, but it was still lost by Jenkins in the old town of Black, which led to the awakening of the beast of calamity that was originally sealed by the savior.
But these are not important. The important thing is that after Jenkins' adventure in the mirror world, the church realized the danger of the mirror world and permanently closed the passage.
After the incident, the Martel Racecourse returned to calm. In the spring when the snow melts, the forage grows like in previous years. In summer, the daily horse racing and riding venues for the nobles are also open every year as in the past.
It is impossible to ride a horse at the age of Queen Isabella, even if she is ten years younger, she is already past the age of riding a horse. As for horse racing, whether it is Jessica, Miss J or Miss Windsor, it is clear that Queen Isabella has no habit of watching horse racing.
So when she went to the racecourse, she would probably just find a place to relax, or make appointments with important people. Regardless of what she was going to do, Jenkins had to go to understand.
In order to prevent accidents, for example, Queen Isabella actually interviewed people from the Gear Craftsmen’s Association and even the Tree House. Jenkins also specifically notified the church to deploy defenses near the Martel Racecourse to ensure that even the difference machine body appeared. , Nolan can also immediately launch the most powerful combat effectiveness.
At the same time, before leaving the city, he deliberately found Marquis Mihaier and Earl Hesha and explained what he wanted to do.
The two important naval officers expressed great support for his choice. Today’s original purpose was to obtain the throne, but what he has actually obtained is the right of inheritance. The right of inheritance does not take effect immediately, anything can happen before it takes effect.
Therefore, in order not to waste today's arrangement, the two navy ministers actually hope that Jenkins can continue to act and not be blinded by the illusory promise.
As for explaining the city hall to other nobles and officials who support Jenkins, just let Jessica arrange it, and he doesn't need to come out in person. The three Jessica Windsor are very good helpers. He can hardly imagine. Without such helpers, in what way would he be able to gain power and take responsibility.
The area near Nolan is suitable as a horse farm, only the plains in the south of the city. The terrain here is not only flat, but the abundant precipitation brought by the ocean monsoon is also very conducive to the growth of grasslands.
The residual heat of midsummer has not passed. It is now the 21st day of July. By August, according to Nolan’s climate in previous years, it is already late summer.
Now the whole world has fallen into an era shrouded in dense fog. Even if the fog does not completely obscure the sky, the reduced amount of sunlight has already brought some unnoticeable effects.
Jenkins rode a four-wheeled carriage to the surroundings of the racecourse, which is next to the manor of its owner, the Martell family, and the entrance of the carriage is the entrance of the manor.
The attendants at the door stopped the carriage, and after seeing Jenkins's face, they immediately let it go. Jenkins did not ask them about Queen Isabella's whereabouts, but directly asked the coachman to drive him to the mansion of the manor, where he saw the waiting Earl Martel.
The Martel family is a long-established family in Nolan, whose history can almost be traced back to the establishment of Fidiktelli. But unlike the political inclination of most of Nolan's nobles and officials, Earl Martell is an extremely loyal queen faction.
According to Jenkins' investigation, this seems to be related to the relationship between the previous generation Earl and Queen Isabella. And Miss J clearly pointed out that the actual situation is that the earl of this generation is the lover of Queen Isabella, at least in her world.
Earl Martell is 49 years old, a very strong middle-aged man. Of course, according to the standards of this world, this is actually an elderly person. Among his short hair, white hair has taken up a considerable amount, but at least it seems that there are not many wrinkles on his face. Generally speaking, he is quite capable and energetic.
"Viscount Williams, welcome."
He enthusiastically took Jenkins's hand, but his eyes looked inquisitively at the carriage behind Jenkins.
"I am alone in the carriage."
said, the coachman drove to leave. The gravel road in front of the mansion is quite flat and spacious, but it is not possible to turn around here. The servant behind the earl guided the coachman to detour along the side path for half a week and leave the manor.
"Viscount, I just heard about what happened in the town hall in the morning. Your speech is quite good. Of course, on behalf of the Martel family, I sincerely congratulate you on becoming the heir of your Majesty. I think this is the best result. ."
said, he wanted to lead Jenkins to the house.
"No need."
He lifted the cat in his arms up, and the chocolate nudged Jenkins' clothes twice, and then rushed to his shoulder. He stood there and didn't move. The count took two steps and realized that the guest was not moving, so he turned his head and asked:
"Then are you here to see the horse racing? Oh, your luck is really good, it just happened to be today..."
"I have come to see your Majesty."
"Your Majesty?"
"No need, if I'm not sure about this, I won't be here."
"Yes, yes, you know."
Count Martell took out the handkerchief in the chest pocket of his shirt and wiped the sweat on his face:
"Then you will see your majesty now?"
"If you try to waste my time here, then please forgive me for walking around here."
"Well then, please come with me, come here."
Although it is the Queen’s faction, it did not forcefully stop Jenkins. After all, the Marquis of Martel did not understand what happened to Jenkins and Queen Isabella.
The earl and servants led Jenkins to walk along the road on the left side of the mansion. Not long after, he heard loud voices from the racecourse. The key to horse racing is not to watch, but to place bets. In other words, betting on horses.
Queen Isabella was not at the racecourse. After passing by the racecourse, the servants brought a few horses. The count motioned to Jenkins to choose one. It seemed that the road ahead was a little far away.
Jenkins's mouth moved. He didn't know how to ride a horse. Whether it was a skeleton horse or his own unicorn, in essence, they were walking or running with Jenkins, not Jenkins riding his mount.
Hathaway said last winter that he would teach Jenkins horse riding skills in the spring. But Jenkins was in Ruen all spring, and Ruen at that time was still covered by heavy snow, and there was no suitable place to practice horse riding. Therefore, Jenkins had never received horse riding training in the world for one year.
It might be too embarrassing to ask for a carriage now, so Jenkins used another method.
He opened his eyes slightly and looked at the maroon horse closest to him. Under the influence of his synaesthesia, the latter walked up to Jenkins very docilely, and even lowered his body slightly to facilitate Jenkins to step on.
"Your vision is really good. This horse is the famous'Red Rose Cantarella' on the racecourse. If you like it, you can..."
"No need, more of your kindness, I usually don't ride horses."
Jenkins said while stroking the bay red horse to make sure that the other party would not fall out of control and throw him down.
The Earl and the two servants are quite good in equestrian skills. Although Jenkins was a little nervous, he was not fast and didn’t need to run like a horse, so he didn’t know how to ride a horse.
When I saw Queen Isabella, she was in the east of the racecourse, a recreational area for the local nobles. Under the parasol, she was sitting at a low white round table, beside the table were three queens, including the Duke of Madeleine. The combined age of these four people is almost 300 years old, and it looks like a normal gathering of elderly ladies.
Out of courtesy, the four riding horses got off their horses at a great distance from here, and walked here on foot. In the racecourse, Jenkins saw that the Duke of Rochester was wearing a bright red dress and was riding a horse on the grass with the three nobles of Jenkins who did not know their names.
The four ladies who were chatting noticed Jenkins who was coming with the earl. Three of them stood up, and only Queen Isabella was still sitting there.
Earl did not want to be involved in this matter, so after attracting Jenkins, he asked the servant to serve the guests carefully, and then turned and left. After getting permission from Queen Isabella, the three queens also made excuses to go to a small western-style building not far away for rest.
Jenkins went under the umbrella and sat beside the white round table. The chocolate on his shoulder glanced at the snack on the table but was indifferent, as if he was not interested at all. It will not eat what is left by others, of course, it doesn't matter if it is leftover by Jenkins.
Chapter 1985 Chapter 1956 The Story of the Past
"I thought you were attending a banquet. There should be many people inviting you now, right?"
Queen Isabella asked as she looked at the people galloping on the racecourse.
"A lot of people have invited me before, but I have never been interested in this kind of thing."
"You have to get used to such social occasions, especially after today, I think Jessica will teach you."
Jenkins is not the kind of person who does not accept the opinions of others, but the current words have no meaning for today's scene. He chose to skip it directly. Since the purpose of this time is to force the other party to change their minds and don't care about the means, then he can be a little more polite.
But before using the priesthood of lies, he decided to talk to Queen Isabella one last time. It is not the expectation that the other party will be persuaded suddenly, but just want to have an in-depth talk with the other party before the old man in front of him loses any meaning to him.
"This morning, no, it was noon. I was actually very surprised that you would directly declare me as the heir."
So he chose to change the subject and not talk about the meaningless things.
"So you came to thank you?"
"No, of course not."
The well-dressed maid replaced the original tea and snacks on the table, and sent new cookies and tea cups. Chocolate's eyes lit up immediately. Jenkins took a small piece of rose cake and placed it in front of his shoulder. The little cat poked his head and sniffed, then squinted his eyes and opened his furry mouth and bit happily. A bite.
Even without turning his head to look at his cat, Jenkins guessed his mood at the moment from the touch of his tail against the back of his neck.
"Then you are here to ask, why did I do this?"
"......It can be said like this."
Queen Isabella nodded, and then said again after at least half a minute:
"If I said, I really figured it out and understood that Jessica could not succeed to the throne, so I chose you to be my successor, so I will announce your inheritance in public, do you believe it?"
"Naturally I don't believe it."
Jenkins shook his head almost without hesitation.
"Very good, you are not the kind of fool who will be dazzled by joy, this is good."
She also acquiesced whether she was telling the truth:
"The young people nowadays are really amazing. I knew your plan ahead of time. I wanted to find loopholes in your speech, forcing you not to come to the stage in public, so that there is no possibility for the speech to continue. I didn't expect your speech to be like this. Success. And that Miss Fabry, who seemed to be cooperating with you, pushed you to a high position."
Speaking of this, I also took a look at Jenkins, but did not see the flaw:
"That's why I took the initiative to take a step back and let your aggressive punch fail. This is not a method. For the king, it is just an ordinary drama in political life."
"Since you know my plan, do you know what I want?"
"You want the crown on my head, not just a promise."
said and stood up:
"Come with me for a walk."
In addition to Jenkins and Queen Isabella, he was accompanied by the old Duke Douglas Gerrod, two maids and three royal guards who hurried over. They just follow behind, don't participate in the conversation, and probably also have the responsibility to ensure that Jenkins will not do it.
A group of people walked along the artificially demarcated boundary line of the horse farm. It was a line drawn by lime, almost coincident with the wooden fence. The surrounding scenery is an endless pasture. Because of the bad weather, the fog is full of fog, so the mountains in the north can only be seen faintly.
Lifting his head, he can see the wind and rain is about to come, maybe it will rain soon.
"I'm actually very curious. You have never shown a passion for power. It is probably not your intention to get the throne. But this time it is so urgent, and it can even be described as impatience. I admit you and Jie Sika’s plan is very good, but it doesn’t conceal that you suddenly changed your slow course of action. Can you tell me, what is this for?"
The conversation continues, the topic still revolves around the morning. Jenkins can be sure that the next six people can hear the conversation between them word for word, but since Queen Isabella is relieved, he won't have any opinions.
"This is to save the world."
He is very straightforward.
"That's it."
The old man did not say whether he believed it or not, nor did he continue to inquire about the relationship between the throne and the one who saved the world.
"Jenkins, I am too old to be compared with young people like you. Even the age when I took over the crown is much older than you now. I can hardly remember when I was the same age as you. At that time, what was he thinking about."
"At what age did you marry the king?"
Jenkins asked actively.
"19 years old, I remember this very clearly."
The standard half a century ago was the same as it is now, and the age of 19 is probably just right. Common people generally get married at a relatively young age, but the first marriages of great aristocrats are generally around 20 years old or even later.
