I Am Louis XIV

Louis didn't have much desire for love between men and women, or simple desires. He tried to find comfort in Mary, but things backfired. He tried hard to convince Mary that he concluded the marriage contract between wizards with her because of love, but the king knew very well that this was just a deal he made with the Mancini family, and it was also his ambition for the inner world.

Now the ministers are worried that he will be confused by a Spanish woman and ask him to choose a "royal wife". Louis's first thought about this is how to maximize the effectiveness of this matter, and his thoughts are fast. But he only thought about whether he could find something worth using from these noble ladies. As for whether they were beautiful or intelligent, they were not in the king's consideration and comfort.

"I see," he said to his younger brother: "Go and tell the Queen Mother, and I will think about it carefully."

Philip, the Duke of Orleans bowed gracefully and retreated. Louis wanted to return his attention to the documents, but found that he could not concentrate. He already knew that Mary bore him a son. From the world, He was the firstborn son of Louis, and Louis named him Clovis in his letter. Clovis was the king of the Franks. grius. This victory expanded the rule of the Franks to the area north of the Loire River and established the Kingdom of the Franks. Naming the newborn with this name represents the king's expectations of him.

But the queen's son, the firstborn son of the world, will be named Louis, because Louis IX is both a king and a saint, so people like to call his offspring the son of St. Louis, as if to show their Orthodox, starting from Louis XIII, the kings will name their eldest son Louis, his son will be Louis XV, his grandson will be Louis XVI, and his great-grandson will be Louis XVII... Although it sounds terrible , but whether it is the king or the heir, there are very few opportunities for their names to be called, just like now, Louis is called His Majesty the King, and his younger brother Philip is His Royal Highness or the Duke of Orleans... and Montpensier The Duchess is also often referred to as the Great Princess, perhaps because there are too many overlapping names of people at this time...

The king's thoughts are like a horse with wings galloping far away. After a mountain of files, His Majesty can only use this method for short-term entertainment. After wandering as he pleases for half an hour, Summon Bontang, tell him to invite the queen to have dinner with him tonight, and ask him to prepare a precious gift for himself.

Queen Teresa seldom had dinner with the king. This kind of honor generally only belonged to the ministers of the previous dynasty, or the younger brother Philip. She came here dressed up and thanked Louis for the mirabilis powder and rouge he had tried to make money before. The queen's face was as white as limewash, but she didn't have to worry about affecting the baby in her belly—compared with the king, the pregnant queen seemed to have a good appetite. She used two soups, one roast, A quail stewed with mushrooms, as well as bread, boiled eggs, and cheese. She has always been calm in front of the king, perhaps because of the respect Louis has shown her in the past few months. Although the rumors outside are hard to hear, on the other hand, she There is also something to rely on, and the noble ladies in the court only dare to whisper behind their backs.

In particular, what the king didn't expect was that the topic of "Madam of the Royal Family" was brought up by the queen first, "Your Majesty," she said with her chest out—it wasn't her intention to do so, but that protruding abdomen really didn't allow her Bending and bowing, "You should have a lover."

This sentence made Louis immediately look at her expression. The young but not beautiful queen didn't have much strange expression on her face, neither painful nor disappointed. It's not that she doesn't love Louis, but it's because she The time is set. Even if you are a queen, you may not be able to guarantee that your husband will be faithful to you. Just like the former Swedish Queen Christina, although she executed her lover for treason, people still say that she It is because of the jealousy of women, which has caused people to talk about it, because such behavior is really not tolerant and elegant, and it is out of style. She is still living in Paris, but she wants to continue to win the support of France, return to Sweden or become a The queen of Naples really has little hope. This is how the world is. It should have been absurd, but it has been admired. It should have been taken for granted, but it has become a crime.

For Teresa, the king had no lover, or in other words, before having an heir with her, having no lover, and having been by her side for the past few months, could be said to be the utmost benevolence. She felt the king's benevolence, of course It will not embarrass him, and besides, for a Spanish queen, she does not want the king's Miss Mancini to return to the court. She is the king's first love and is rude by nature. Any lady is big.

"I haven't decided yet," Louis said.

"Give some balls, then," said the Queen.

After that, she really held several balls, because her pregnancy had been recognized, so she only danced the opening dance with the king and then left, leaving the king with a group of young and lovely noble ladies, including many powerful officials and nobles daughter or niece.

But the more courteous they were, the more they annoyed Louis, and he complained to his brother Philip that it was not like he was choosing a lover, but rather like a group of kittens competing for a ball of yarn, even though the claws and teeth were cute. , but a ball of yarn being snatched back and forth is not pleasant. This wonderful metaphor made Philip laugh out loud. He put his hand on the hilt of his sword while laughing--the next moment, the smile suddenly changed from Wang Di's The face disappeared, and Philip drew his sword in an instant, pointing to the shadow in the corridor: "Come out!" He shouted in a deep voice.

The king also drew his sword. This corridor belongs to the king, and no one else has the right to walk. Now only the queen mother, the king's younger brother, and a few trustworthy important officials have been granted permission.

After a few seconds, a skirt moved out of the shadows, and then the owner of the skirt, Philip showed a look of surprise, because this person was someone they were familiar with but not close to—— Henrietta The princess' maid Louise.

Her appearance also made Philip feel a little strange, and then he suddenly realized that he felt strange because the maid made a rare delicate dress and put on gorgeous clothes. He glanced at Brother Wang with a half-smile , lowered the tip of the sword, and Louis paused for a moment. The deepest impression Louise gave him was that he did not let go of his vigilance when he hit a hundred shots at the Red Child Bazaar.

"Is there anything I can do for you, madam?" Philip asked.

Louise's complexion was pale, but she walked out resolutely holding the skirt, and then bowed deeply to the king and the duke... After being immersed in the court for so long, she was no longer as clumsy and at a loss as when she first arrived, but she still Nervously about to break his shoulders.

"I have something to say to you alone." Her words made Philip's smile more real. "Your Majesty," he asked, "maybe I need to avoid it."

"It won't be long," Louis said, "You go back to your room first, and let Bontang pick me up."

"I'll wait for you," said Philip, "I'm just down the corridor."

Then he left the candle and walked away by the moonlight. But the king could still see him, and he could see the king, but he couldn't hear their words.

Louise is the maid of the British Princess Henrietta, but the traitor identified by the king in 58 years was also the British protector Oliver Cromwell. After his death, he inherited his title, title and the eldest son Richard of the army. Cromwell did not have the skill and ambition of his father to control the parliament, elders and generals. He was cowardly and ignorant by nature. In just a few months, he lost the power left to him by his father. George Monk, whose name was mentioned by Louis, was very disappointed. He united with Thomas Fairfax, who had returned to the political center, and instigated most of the generals, intending to welcome back Charles II who was still in exile. If Charles II If the Second King could return to London and become a veritable king, then his mother and sister would not continue to depend on others in Paris, and Louise would naturally go back with the princess she served.

Philip guessed that Louise might also want to try to see if he had a chance of being favored by the king like those noble ladies, so he immediately backed down tactfully. The requirements for the lady, that is to say, although she is slender, she is too healthy, almost strong, never faints, and has a lot of strength - this is because she directly knocked Henry who passed out several times. Princess Etta moved back to her bedroom, alone.

But Philip also knew that his brother Wang had a very peculiar aesthetic view, just like Mary, she was beautiful, but not docile enough, and too greedy, but the king always treated her differently. Who knows if Louise will be the next Mary?

"Now you may speak," said the king kindly.

"Can you go to the next room with me? Your Majesty." Louise said softly, frowning, as if she had made a very dangerous decision. Louis was silent for a while, and rubbed his pockets. Maozai moved, "Okay," he said, "As you wish."

They entered the room together. The room was empty. Louise slightly opened the curtain covering the window to let the moonlight shine in. She looked sad and bit her lower lip tightly. This look almost made people beg Don't be so embarrassing for her anymore.

"I think," said Louise, standing seven or eight paces from Louis—almost across the room from end to end—"you must remember Mr. Brayland."

"I remember." This Louis will never forget.

"He is my father."

Louis gave a slight oh, and was no longer so surprised. After all, the other party would not mention Brayland for no reason. He reached into his coat pocket, and the Venjo cat was sticking its head out, its eyes were cold Cold light, the little nose sniffed hard, but it took a few seconds before it finally exploded, for no other reason, just because Louise was taking off the necklace around her neck, this silver lace necklace almost never He had never left her, and it seemed that this was also a magic tool that Brayland had prepared for his daughter to cover up the werewolf's scent and characteristics.

After taking off the necklace, even if the king couldn't smell Louise's scent, he could still see her eyes glowing golden yellow under the moonlight, with tapered black pupils in the light. She bent her head in pain. With great patience, he said intermittently: "I... I want to thank you, Your Majesty."

"Go ahead." Louis replied calmly.

"You saved... my father's life twice." Louise said, "I... I hope I can repay you..."

"What kind of return?"

"I hope to have a special friendship ceremony with you..."

"I've heard of the werewolf marriage ceremony," the king said softly, "but your father didn't do it. Why do you do it?"

"This is exactly what my father ordered," Louise gasped, "My father...he has left me forever...Your Majesty, although you saved him, his life has come to an end, so he Ask me... let me make friends with you."

"Is it just for the kindness of those two times?"

Louise turned her face away, showing a look of shame: "There are also my people."

"Oh... a Serbian werewolf."

Louise made a sound like crying: "The Ottoman Turkish governor of Serbia is dispersing us, we have nowhere to go, so... my father is willing to bow down to serve Charles I...but..."

"How many clansmen do you have?"

"There are only more than a hundred."

"So that's it." More than a hundred, this number is really nothing, even in the inner world, it is purely tasteless, no wonder Charles II immediately abandoned the werewolves after he found out that there was hope of returning to the country.

"What do you want?"

"A hiding place."

"What can I get?"

"From now on, we will follow around and obey orders."

"You came to see me because you want to be my lover."

"I can't find a suitable reason to stay by your side." Even under the moonlight, Louise's face still showed a moving blush. Although she was reticent, she was always as straightforward as a man, Such behavior made her feel ashamed.

"I accept, then," said the king. "Come," he held out his hand, "come to me."

Louise trembled, "Don't be afraid of me, Your Majesty." After she finished speaking, her face elongated terribly and slowly, and the white fur rolled out from under her skin. She howled in pain, and her body bent over On the ground, her hands stretched out, and then changed into claws, and her feet likewise, her dress and soft shoes were torn, her rings burst, and when she finally stopped changing, crouching before the king was a huge Silver Wolf.
