I Am Louis XIV

People in later generations may only talk about the victory banquet at the Palace of Versailles that lasted for fifteen days. Although this was not the first big victory of Louis XIV, nor the last, anyone would swear that the prosperity of France It was from this day that it began. It's just that according to the records of the Roman Church and some bold and perceptive people, something happened during these fifteen days that almost made the young Sun King lose his mind.

Louis has always hated being awakened from his sleep, because generally speaking, it is not a good thing to wake a king from his sleep - at the beginning of the book, he was awakened by Lord Mazaran just to humiliate He fled under the stones and torches of the mob, and during his two exiles outside Paris, almost every time he was awakened, it was because the enemy's blade was close to his neck, and this time in Verde. Randall, he woke to the curse of the dark wizard Bosch... Now he is in the Louvre, surrounded by loyal musketeers and guards, but he was awakened by the panic call.

The king sat up on his chest, and he saw his younger brother Philip rushing in with a serious expression. Bontang and Mrs. La Vallière put on his coat, trousers and boots together, "Who is it?" he asked , "Luciano," Philip answered, and the king's heart sank--although he was on his guard, since he had ruined their only hope by rejecting the Dutch, and they managed to bribe the Dark Wizard in return. The second is also a matter of course, but the people around the Duke of Colonna are indeed not as good as those around the king.

The king walked quickly, yes, the power around the Duke of Colonna can't even compare with the queen and the crown prince, but he is a wizard himself, and so are the servants around him, and his identity is too subtle, generally speaking, non-inheritance No one would care about having a child in wedlock. While Louis was wondering how those wizards judged that Luciano was also one of his weaknesses, he was also guessing what kind of purpose and method those people had—he As I said, the Palace of Versailles is not only a palace, but also a fortress, a new city. The security here is not inferior to that of the Louvre. Similarly, people from the outer world and the inner world serve the king here.

"He..." The king was so timid once in a while that he didn't even dare to say that word, but Philip shook his head immediately, "he is receiving treatment."

"Has the murderer escaped?" the king asked again, but this time he didn't get an answer. When he couldn't help but look at Philip next to him, under the erratic light of the candle, his brother's expression became even more cloudy: "No," He said, "No, Your Majesty."

Hearing what the king said, Louis felt a little relieved. At this time, this series of long lines had already reached the suite of the Duke of Colonna. The first floor is not very close to the king's suite, but it is not very far. Louis saw that there were not only musketeers but also wizards standing outside the door. Some of the faces were familiar to him, and his heart was more stable. Already—compared with doctors of this era, the potions and magic of wizards are certainly more trustworthy.

The suite of the Duke of Colonna has seven rooms, the same as Mrs. La Vallière's, but it is shared with his mother, so it is not too out of the ordinary. Pay attention, go straight to the bedroom of the Duke of Colonna, the Duke of Colonna is lying on his bed, the surrounding curtains have been rolled up high, and the wizards are busy around him, Varo Vesalius, the king's wizard The imperial doctor was pouring the medicine with floating green smoke into the Duke's throat. The Duke groaned in pain, frowned, and kept trying to spit out the medicine - just from the rancid and sour smell that people could smell How terrible the taste of this potion is, Louis' face changed slightly, because he still remembered the smell, and when he was assassinated by a wizard in Dunkirk, when he received treatment in the other world, he also Having taken this potion once, Vesalius' mentor once said that this potion is used for wounds with curses.

"Flanders? Or Spaniards?" Louis asked. "Or Bohemians?"

Only now Vesalius took a look at the king. It was very rare that he also felt some pity for this majesty: "It should be said that he is an Italian." Louis was startled, but at this time Vesalius had already met with several other people. The wizards waved their wands together, made gestures, and threw spell-casting ingredients for further healing. The white linen sheet slipped from the suddenly struggling Duke, and a shocking wound was suddenly exposed to the king-this wound was like As for the one that was cut by a huge two-handed sword, from the left collarbone to the pelvis, although there was no bleeding, it was precisely because there was no cover of blood, rolled skin, soft fat, contracted tendons, and The white ribs, which had been chopped off all at once, and the raised ribs, as well as the beating internal organs under the ribs, could be clearly seen—it was like a corpse being dissected by medical students.

The king took a step back and was about to fall.

The king's younger brother Philip immediately stepped forward to support Louis, but Louis didn't ask any unnecessary questions - like what the previous sentence meant... He squeezed his brother's hand tightly: "Mancini?"

Under his planning, the Mancini family has completely become an empty shell with a nameless name. If someone in the Mancini family is unwilling to do such evil things and take revenge on him and Mary at the same time, It's not impossible, Louis only regretted that he was too tolerant before, but Philip's silence made him feel ominous, "Brother," Philip said—or in other words, he is the only person here who can say: "It's Ma Leigh Mancini."

How can it be!

This was the first thought in Louis' mind, but he also knew that anyone here could betray him and deceive him, except Philip.

"She's in the small hall." Philip helped his brother stand up, and he could feel almost all his weight on him. "If you have anything to ask her..."

Of course Louis had a lot to ask her, was she being manipulated by some spell? Or was the mind captured by the devil? It's also possible that it was just an accident...

Mary was in the small hall where the king had passed by. She was sitting on an armchair with her hands on the armrests. When she looked carefully, she was bound tightly by translucent ropes. After all, she was The Duchess of Colonna is also the spokesperson of the king in Gayola Island. Although the wizards held her down, they did not dare to be too rude. Louis walked up to her slowly and sat down slowly. The attendants brought her More candles, contrary to the bright light, the sound in the room was almost silent, only muffled, chaotic and distressed cries came from the bedroom - the king, who had undergone the same treatment, knew that the wizards had to first remove the attached Only by removing the curse on the viscera, muscles, and bones can the wound heal. His wound at that time was a penetrating wound, and the Duke of Colonna's injury was even more serious—he was almost cut in half.

"What did you do?" Louis asked softly: "Mary," he was confused and hesitant to get an answer: "What are you doing?"

Mary looked at him, her eyes wandering, like someone who was too drunk to fall asleep and was forced to wake up - maybe it was, "Your Majesty..." she called weakly.

"It's me," said Louie, "Marie, what have you done to our children?"

Mary showed doubts, her memory is interrupted and scattered...she has to try hard to recall...she remembers...her eyes gradually converged: "I, Your Majesty," she opened her eyes wide, " I was told that you impregnated Madame de La Vallière, that she had your child," she said cautiously, "Oh, sire, what a nightmare it is..."

"It's not some nightmare," Louie interrupted relentlessly. "She did have my baby."

Mary paused, "How is it possible!" She shook her body in panic: "How is it possible! Your Majesty, how is it possible! You are lying, alas, what a cruel person you are, you know it will make me sad! Breaks my heart! . . . "

"I am not lying," said the king.

Mary froze for a little longer this time, and then, maybe only a few seconds, or minutes later, a sharp cry broke the silence of the room, and she jumped, though she couldn't free herself from the ropes. , but immediately jumped in front of the king. The monks and wizards around the king all made alert gestures, but they were not as fast as Louis. As soon as Louis raised his foot, he kicked Mary out——Louis Although he is not a warrior galloping freely on the battlefield, as long as Philip, the Duke of Orleans, who has received the same training and education as him, can take the lead again and again, he will know that he is definitely not a weak man. He is not only tall, but also strong. At this moment, Marie flew out with the chair, falling two or three steps away.

"I'm tired of your nonsense, ma'am," Louis said, and some people who knew the majesty couldn't help but feel slightly moved, because the person who can bring such vivid emotional color to the king's words, this lady It is the second one, the first one is Bishop Mazaran, the king did not try to hide his pain and sorrow when he left him, and today, everyone here can hear his words from the king's gnashing of teeth. Anger and hatred: "I just want to know one thing, did you do it? Did you use such a cruel spell on our child! It was used on the Duke of Colonna, our little Luciano !?"

"I didn't mean it!" Mary screamed, and then coughed violently. If she wasn't a wizard, this might have killed her. She answered the king, and she couldn't help but fell into a deep confusion Among them, she remembered that she heard from a maid that Mrs. La Vallière had been pregnant for several months, but for some reason, the king had not made it public—but it was not made public, or it had been made public thing? Mary didn't care about Queen Teresa, because she knew that Louis didn't love her, but only respected her. The only thing she could do better than Mary was her surname and bloodline, but what was Louise? A maid beside a princess, a werewolf, in the other world, she is not even qualified to stand in front of her—so Mary heard that the king chose her to be his first royal wife, and felt extremely painful and resentful If Mrs. Milady hadn't repeatedly said that what the king did was a covenant with the Serbian werewolves, but she was still haunted by anxiety and jealousy. It was precisely because of this jealousy and anxiety that she warned Louis that if a werewolf lived A child, this child must also be a werewolf.

Sure enough, as she expected, the first royal wife of La Vallière was in name only, and Mary and Louis could happily spend a whole summer in Calais like a real couple, with their children, but the werewolf They can only run around like hounds released during hunting, driving out all the hidden wizards for the king—waiting in vain for the day when they will be abandoned and buried.

The accident happened so suddenly!

Madame Lavallière has a child for Louis! Even though she might have got some kind of magic, or drug, or promise, but Louis is willing to let her have a child, which shows that Louis does have some pity for her, even... love! How could Mary accept this? She was crazy at the time——afterwards...the memory after that was very vague, as if the Duke of Colonna, who was also her and Louis's child, returned to their room, and she asked him Together with himself, they eliminated their future enemies, a child who should not have been born and a despicable werewolf, but Luciano not only firmly rejected her, but also blurted out that even the queen's child should not exist Time, trying to control her with magic.

Then……

She hit back.

The king looked at her and didn't need any more answers, "Don't let me see her again." He said extremely tiredly, while drooping his shoulders, as if he was overwhelmed.

—————

In the early morning of the next day, the Palace of Versailles was peaceful—because the wizards cast spells to isolate sound and light in the room early in the morning, most people had no idea what happened yesterday. They either went to the Grand Gallery, Or enjoy the music and dance, as well as Mr. Molière's new play. There are also many young men and women who like to hunt in the Holly Labyrinth. Versailles was originally the hunting palace of Louis XIII, and Louis XIV even more. It is to buy a vast swamp and dense forest around it. From here to the Seine River is the king's territory. They can also ride from the Palace of Versailles to Limoges or the city of Versailles, where a large-scale Commercial district, but mainly furs, herbs and agricultural products,

The king was always very generous to the Versailles.

The matter of a maid leaving on leave temporarily failed to attract anyone's attention, or people have not noticed her. She came to a house in Limoges in a hurry, and received a message from a gentleman's hand. Li took her reward - a large box of gold louis, she is just an ordinary kitchen maid, this money is enough for her to spend the rest of her life...

In the short next life, because she hadn't had time to smile, a dagger that came with her reward killed her.
