I Am Louis XIV

After listening to the opinions of Melfa and Prince Vatican, Louis considered for a while, and did not use deception to reverse the Mancini family's thinking as people speculated. If he is just a mortal, or The Mancini family is more practical, maybe he will, but when he has the talent to become a wizard, and although the Mancini family has stretched out tentacles to the outside world, they are still proud of their family and talent. You have the qualifications to negotiate with them.

Mary brought his message back, and the next day, the king met Mary's father, the head of the Mancini family, a middle-aged man with a good appearance, but if those regrettable fine lines were removed With gray hair, it can be seen that he was very beautiful when he was young. Felipe Mancini may have inherited his appearance, but not his ability. This makes him regretful, and this regret has spread to In his other children, they are either narrow-minded, simple-minded, or naive and irritable. Anyway, none of them can satisfy him. This is one of the reasons why the Mancini family first extended outward. It's hard to stand up, but in the watch world, because of the innate injustice, they can surpass mortals, even if that person is a duke, prince or king.

The assassination of the king in Dunkirk was not done by the Mancini family, but it gave them an excellent opportunity. They have no right to comment on the transfer of the throne, but they can keep the king in the other world, which is different from their original plan. There was no difference, even better, but as soon as Louis saw him, they cut off their delusions.

"You're crazy..." This was the only thing the head of the Mancini family could say.

Louis is very calm, his temperament is gentle and kind, but he deeply hates being blackmailed and coerced, he wrote to Bishop Mazaran and his younger brother Philip, if he is forced to stay in the other world, then he will become a wizard , a member of the inner world and completely cut off everything in the watch world, the Mancini family can't use his name to seek even the slightest benefit in the watch world, and even the previous promise will become a piece of waste paper, after all Once he leaves the watch world, he is considered dead in people's hearts.

"You know that in the other world, the life of an ordinary wizard will be very difficult." Mancini's parents said.

"Maybe, but at least I'm still the Duke of Colonna." The most difficult time for Louis was in Saint-Germain-en-Laye. At that time, they were precarious and needed to pawn their clothes to ensure their daily needs. Now he has a palace, a small territory and shops, etc. Wait, these are all prepared by Bishop Mazaran for him. If he stays here, at least he won't be as miserable as the former Varo Vesalius.

"But without the protection of the Mancini family..." Mancini's parents said slowly.

"Mancini is not the only one here," Louis said softly: "The Mancini family has spent a lot of time and energy in order to return to the watch world, and of course, money, you have to dig out a part of the roots of the world You can do this, so although you still maintain your seats in the House of Lords, you still have supporters, you still have fields and manors, and you still have your own army, but you are completely incomparable with what you were a hundred years ago." Years ago, the matter of Varo Vesalli would not have evolved to what it is now. It can only be said that at this time, the Mancini family is fierce from outside and inside, and is unwilling to give up any target that can be used.

"Your Majesty... If you are willing to stay here, we are willing to give up a seat in the House of Lords... I believe that with your talent and the support of the watch world, you can still live like a king and even rule." Mann Chiny's parents deliberated for a while before slowly speaking. This sentence made Louis laugh immediately. He really wanted to live in the world, but the world in the world focuses on icing on the cake. How could he abandon the whole of France to rule such a world? an island? And it's still an unknown island? It is not even as good as a large province of France.

"I have another proposal." Louis said calmly: "Mr. Mancini, I will not give up the throne, but I also thank Mary Mancini for saving my life. I would like to give her back this kindness." And her family, but I hope we can all be fair to each other."

"fair?"

"A fair contract," Louis said: "Since the inner world and the outer world are separated, sir, I am the king of France in the outer world, Louis Dieudonne Bourbon, and the inner world is the Duke of Colonna, Louis Colonna——In the outside world, Mary cannot be my wife in a formal marriage, but in the inside world, I can, I will marry Mary, let her give birth to our legitimate son, and inherit me in the inside Everything in the world - you can not only get my support in the watch world, but also in the inner world. The roots of the Mancini family are in the inner world. I think even if you can gain a foothold in the watch world, it will not be easy Give up the inner world, but without enough support, it's hard to fight two sides, Mr. Mancini."

Mancini's parents frowned. He felt that this idea was really incredible. Generally speaking, few people could refuse to become a wizard. Even the youngest son of the Colonna family, he only temporarily refused because of his age and his mother's favor. He didn't leave the watch world, but: "But what about the real Duke of Colonna?" He wouldn't be willing to become an ordinary wizard.

Louis glanced at him with strange eyes: "Isn't the title determined by the House of Lords after discussion and voting?" In this case, as long as the Mancini family can control the House of Lords, will it be difficult for a duke title? And when the time comes, no matter whether it is the inner world or the outer world, he will get a considerable gift, just borrowing an identity, and no one will refuse this deal.

But Mancini's parents also have to worry about whether the king will have resentment for their previous behavior.

As if able to see into his heart, Louis said: "I am first and foremost a king, Mr. Mancini, a ruler, and the most important thing is not to let emotion override reason, let alone what you are planning. What actual loss has been caused to me——As for the previous incident, I have already punished the perpetrator, and you have been appeased, and I don’t think these will affect our future cooperation.” Then he sighed and said: “Li The world has indeed given me a great surprise, sir, although I am not going to stay here, but I think, let me, and Mancini's children, be the rulers of this place, whether it is for you or for me, It’s all quite beneficial.”

"I don't think I can give you an answer right away."

"I can wait, sir, but not too long," said Louis. "A country cannot long lose its king. Once I lose my kingship, then our deal will be broken, and you will have one more enemy instead of the king." Not friends, I swear to get back everything I lost from the Mancini family."

"Are you threatening me?" Mancini's parents said strangely. He was not angry because he didn't think Louis could do it—no matter how prominent his status was, he was just a newcomer in the outside world.

"No, I'm just notifying you." Louis shook his head. He may not know much about the other world, but as long as wizards are still human beings with basic needs, emotions, and thoughts, then the theory and knowledge of this world or even another world The same method can be used in the inner world. There is a saying that what cannot be broken cannot be established. There are many things he cannot do as the king of France, but in the inner world, he can let go of his hands and feet as much as possible.

Thinking of this, Louis' mood suddenly calmed down. It is good that Mancini's parents are willing to agree to this deal, but if he is not willing-it doesn't seem to be a bad thing.

—————

After thinking about it for a few days, the parents of the Mancini family finally gave Louis a clear answer, and he agreed.

Among these people, the happiest may be the ignorant Mary. She is indulging in the sweet atmosphere of being about to conclude a marriage contract with her sweetheart all day long. Although it is not a blood marriage contract, it can be regarded as a formal marriage contract, although it only takes effect in the inner world. , in the external world, she is only the Duchess of Colonna, but as long as she is in the inner world, she is the only wife of Louis. Ni's parents are also forced to do so. There are only three direct males in the Mancini family. One died in a war against werewolves when he was studying in college, the other died in a wizard riot in the other world, and the third was Feli. Pei, he doesn't like this child, but he is the only remaining heir. Who knows that he is so stupid that he wants to use potions to confuse and force Philip, the Duke of Anjou. The relationship between the king and his brother is well known, otherwise He also wouldn't want to arrange someone next to His Royal Highness, but what about your charm, your methods and your sweet words? Mancini's parents had nothing to say about their son's stupid mistake.

What made him angry was Mary. Maybe it was because of Mary's innocence that he didn't want to let her be with Louis. This majesty's thinking was obviously far older than his age-if someone else was changed, he might be rejected. Mary was confused, but this one would definitely not, and in the conversation with the king, he also found that Louis's affection for Mary was running out...Of course, no matter how deep the emotion is, it cannot withstand such frequent visits. What's more, as long as you are a man, you can't stand being manipulated by others, let alone a king!

But the conditions put forward by the king also moved his heart. If he and Mary had a child—the king might be affectionate to his wife, correctly speaking, his lover, but the power of blood cannot be separated by anything. Moreover, this child will also be the mortgage and bargaining chip for the king to stay in the inner world. If it is used properly, the Mancini family can have more than a hundred years of prominence in the inner world and the outer world, and it can even pass on for a thousand years or more. , isn't this what they have been expecting?

—————

Melfa sighed, and Rong Ke squinted at him: "Why are you sighing, isn't the current situation not good?"

"Well, very well," said Melfa. "I really didn't expect our king to be able to do this."

"I didn't expect that we have already found the loophole in the blood oath marriage contract." Rong Ke said.

"But for that majesty," Melfa waved his arms and helped Rong Ke set up a huge rose tree: "Although that can prevent him from being controlled, it also loses the connection to the inner world... Maybe, He said vaguely, "So it's far from enough...just," he said disappointedly, "he couldn't accomplish what we expected."

"Who knows," said Rong Ke, "drive those goblins away," he said, and the goblins were constantly pulling on his beard and hat, making it impossible for him to pinpoint the exact position of the rose tree: "I heard This gentleman is very kind."

"He doesn't want to be a wizard," said Melfa. "He..."

He suddenly shut his mouth, because there was a group of wizards coming here, they were the offshoots of the Mancini family, the trusted and reused ones, and this time they were sent to complete the decoration of the Colonna Palace and guarantee the wedding. There is no problem, so even if they are also crushed by the upper class, Melfa and Rong Ke will not rest assured to reveal their true thoughts in front of them, so as not to be betrayed-Rong Ke's previous prison disaster is partly because of those The big family has always been extremely strict about exchanging currency privately. The other part is that he said a lot of things that shouldn't be said. These words should have been buried deep in people's hearts, but he said them, and then they were sold to those Wizard members, there is no need to say more about what happened next. If it weren't for the guarantee of the Duke of Colonna, he might have died in prison.

They watched the wizards lead a group of marble statues into the courtyard, and then they looked around, directing the statues into place with the commendable aesthetic level of the Mancini family, and several wizards floated in mid-air, looking down. , and make adjustments.

"I said, does anyone go there to admire the statues?" Wizards can ride owls, ride brooms, or levitate themselves, but the first two are almost impossible to levitate, and the latter requires concentration—" Don't be silly," Jon Ke said, "They're going to add a terrace there."

"This is the Palazzo Colonna, not Castel Mancini," said Murfa.

"Anyway, the master here doesn't care about this." Rong Ke said, "Give me some water——no, it's not me, it's roses, oh, Merlin!"

—————

Louis really didn't care about this, "You also have to stay here, Milady."

Milady looked like a real witch now, and with the help of the potion, she became more beautiful and younger, and when the king said this, she showed a false smile: "As long as you And allow me to come back to you."

"I'll need you," said Louis, looking at Milady's peaked hat. "I could get you a baronet or a viscountess... know why I don't?"

"Yeah," said Milady sweetly, "you want me to go down there with people who are suffering because they can't see hope—I'll be a poison to their hearts, won't I?"

"I prefer to call you a plague," said Louie. "The weak die, but the ones who don't die grow stronger."

"Then what?"

"Then……"

Depends on Merlin or God's will.
