I Am Louis XIV
Chapter 6 The King's Prophecy
The rabbit meat is very good. According to Louis's instructions, the chef cooks the rabbit meat for a few minutes before stewing it. There are not too many too complicated spices, only onion and ginger, and some celery. I don't even like it very much. The queen mother of rabbit meat is also full of praise.
Mary ate a big bowl.
Bishop Mazarin also asked his servant to give him another spoonful. He received a group of people from England today. Because of the disappearance of Charles I, Queen Mary urged her and the son of Charles I to come to France and pray to the Queen Mother Anne With the protection of Mazarin, but little Charlie still stubbornly clings to his identity - unwilling to cross the ocean to seek asylum in another country, but no one can see that the form of England is even better than that of France. Grim, these messengers were sent by little Charlie, and they brought little Charlie's letter expressing his thanks to his cousin Louis, and his two regents, the Queen Mother Anne and Cardinal Mazarin, only He still insisted on waiting in England, and hoped that they could give some support, manpower, or money. Unfortunately, this is what Louis and his party need most now.
It took a lot of effort for Bishop Mazarin to deal with these people, and then at night he had to go to receive the wizards. He was really tired and hungry.
Before returning to his room with the king, Bishop Mazarin repented and prayed to his lord that he should probably stay away from these odious sorcerers, but he also knew that neither himself nor the French court could do without Open the wizard, Louis XIII originally had his own wizard, but in that well-known fall from a horse - yes, it was not an accident, the wizard died to save the king, and then two wizards betrayed, and now He couldn't even find anyone in the world he could trust, so when his sister asked him if he could let her daughter Marie Mancini serve the Queen Mother, he immediately agreed.
Of course, for Mary's patriarchal members, they didn't want Mary to enter the palace as a witch, they had title and power in the wizarding world, they only hoped that Mary could obtain the same noble status for them in the world of the world.
Bishop Mazarin regretted telling the king the truth directly. Perhaps a clever perfunctory was the best way to solve this matter, but these thoughts disappeared as soon as he returned to the room.
"Did a wizard visit last night?" said the king, looking at him without looking away.
"They are Mary's relatives." Mr. Bishop sighed in his heart: "Your Majesty, they came to visit Mary when they met a werewolf."
"Then why don't they come to see me," continued Louis. "This is my domain, my mansion, surrounded by my knights, please tell me why they are free to come and go?"
"Your Majesty, they are wizards."
"Aren't wizards my people?"
"They are Neapolitans."
"They will seek a place in my court."
Louis lowered his eyes: "Are they unwilling to respect me, or are they unwilling to respect the king? Even if they ask for something, they are still extremely arrogant-you said that there are wizards in every court, do they all behave like this?"
Mazarin looked at Louis, the young king. He already knew about Louis' self-control. He also served as a governess for a period of time when he was in a Jesuit school. At this age, children almost only want to play , pounding a plank on their chubby rear hips to get their attention to the book.
He had also discussed with the Queen Mother Anne - about the education of the king, they did not intend to delay, mainly because the current France is in turmoil. It's not scary, what's scary is that he knows the benefits of power but doesn't know how to use it. It's like giving a sharp sword to a young child, either letting him hurt himself or hurt other innocent people - and as the queen dowager With the king's agent, Bishop Mazaran's avatar is weak, and not everyone can become the king's teacher, so this matter naturally stagnated.
But Louis never stopped studying. He studied Latin, French, English, mathematics, and then he started to read all the books he could get his hands on. Sometimes he would read in Bishop Mazarin's study, so quiet It was found that there was a child there.
"...You can say that." Bishop Mazarin said after a while: "But Your Majesty, wizards are all the same, they belong to the inner world, they..."
"So they think it's better than anyone in the world, not even a king."
Mazarin sighed deeply: "It is true."
"This kind of recognition disgusts me," Louie said. "They stand in my domain and share my authority and glory, and they should obey me."
"The origin of wizards is Merlin, Your Majesty, Merlin was King Arthur's teacher."
"Pierre Beauchamp is also my teacher. If he disobeys me, I will cut off his head as well."
Bishop Mazarin frowned, he didn't know whether Louis's words came from the willfulness of the child, or from something more terrifying: "But Beauchamp is just your dance teacher."
"It's all the same," said Louis, "monsieur bishop, whether it's dance or witchcraft, it's the same for me, or, of the two, I prefer dance." For dance could not threaten the king .
Mazarin understood what Louis was saying, and for the first time he showed a very confused look: "But your majesty, why do you think so? You are the king, France and Navarre belong to you, you will always be Lord of the peoples."
"But the king will die too," said Louis.
"Mortals will eventually return to the feet of God," Mazarin said.
"But I wish I could choose which way," Louis said. "Any news from Charles I?"
——————
It wasn't until February 1649 that news of Charles I's public execution by a traitor reached Saint-Germain-Leon that Mazarin understood what Louis meant.
