My British Empire

After Edward said a word in a soft voice, he didn't say another word.

For the king, being able to coax the maid a little bit is already a rare situation, and this is also because sisters Lucy and Luna grew up with him, otherwise he would not want to keep a low voice.

Sister Lucy was also sensible, so she checked and found that Edward was fine, then patted her chest and recovered.

Afterwards, nobles came to see him one after another, but Edward refused them one by one. After calling the imperial doctor, he asked him to keep his mouth shut and just say nothing.

The imperial doctor walked out of the bedroom, faced the questioning of the nobles, withstood the pressure, and said nothing, and this just verified the biggest guess in the hearts of the nobles.

And the leader of the Dark Blade, Guy, also obeyed Edward's order, and publicized Edward's condition in Spain, as serious as it was.

Using the huge intelligence system, let the King of Spain know that his son needs a wife.

After that, Princess Elizabeth and Princess Mary also rushed over with worried faces, and came to see Edward in a hurry. Edward was still a little moved by this.

To be honest, before Edward was born, Princess Mary was originally the first heir to the throne of England. Her mother was the aunt of King Charles V of Spain, known as Catherine of Aragon.

At the age of nine she was named Princess of Wales, which is the title of a prince.

But the good times didn't last long. Catherine divorced Henry VIII, and she was rejected by Henry VIII and refused to admit her position as heir.

Princess Elizabeth's mother, Queen Anne, was finally executed. She was directly called the illegitimate daughter by Henry VIII, and could only be called "Miss Elizabeth Tudor".

When Edward's mother Jane Seymour became queen, she let the two princesses live in the palace and improved their environment.

In the end, it was Queen Catherine who completely thawed the relationship between their father and daughter. Even after Henry VIII died, their names appeared among the heirs.

The two of them stayed in the palace after Edward was born, and Henry VIII made them become Edward's maids to serve him exclusively.

It can be said that Edward was brought up by the two of them, and it is not normal to have no feelings.

For this, Edward couldn't be like coaxing the maids. He almost exhausted his whole body, and he didn't know how many times he explained it before reassuring the two princesses.

But the little Lolita was being kept from the truth, showing no affection at all.

At this time, outside Whitehall Palace, London, York, Southampton, these places intermittently circulated the news that the king was ill. Generally speaking, it was well controlled by Edward and did not cause any disturbances.

However, in Spain, Edward's illness spread throughout Spain overnight after Dark Blade's publicity in various bars in Spain.

Seville, located in the south of the Iberian Peninsula, in the valley of the lower reaches of the Guadalquivir River, relies on its excellent geographical location, and it has become the only port of call for Spanish treasure ships in Spain.

Swallowing up boatloads of gold and silver from the Americas every day, and then absorbing huge luxury goods from all over the world, Seville has created a scene of prosperity.

For the common people, prosperity is nothing more than a chance to breathe.

In order to maintain a huge army and navy, and to satisfy the luxurious life of the royal family and nobles, Charles I imposed heavier and heavier taxes on ordinary civilians.

The reason why Spain has not yet broken out of riots is that the gold ships returning from the Americas and the merchant ships satisfying the nobles' luxuries are coming in a steady stream, continuously renewing Spain's life.

The second is because Catholicism firmly controls the minds of the Spaniards and stifles their sense of riot.

Spain currently has two capitals, Toledo in the Kingdom of Castile and Zaragoza in the Kingdom of Aragon, but Charles V preferred Madrid and spent most of his time there.

Relying on the inland river, gold and silver from Seville were continuously sent to Madrid, making this central city begin to prosper.

Relying on the business of the royal family and nobles, Seville is currently a well-known and prosperous city in Europe.

A gold ship from South America slowly stopped in Seville. Later, the royal family dispatched court personnel with labor to count the gold and silver on the ship one by one.

But the sailors on the ship disembarked directly, ran to the nearest tavern, and began a period of drunkenness and dreams.

After several months of driving on the sea, the pockets of the level people are already bulging, and they urgently need to vent, and the tavern is the best place to vent.

Three or five groups of sailors wore stinky clothes and came to the largest tavern in the port with smiles on their faces. This is also a place frequented by sailors.

Cass is one of them.

To be honest, if it wasn't for those nobles who taxed too much, he wouldn't have left home and become a member of the sailors composed of rogues and rascals. If the arrangement had been followed, he would have already had a big butt and a strong There are several wives and sons.

It's not like now, in his twenties, still a bachelor, and he doesn't know when he will go to see God, Cass touched the scar on his face, thinking bitterly.

Walking into the tavern, Cass didn't carry the smiling woman upstairs like everyone else, but found a place to sit down and drink by himself, feeling the popularity. He hadn't seen so many people in a few months, so he adjusted.

"Have you heard? The king of England is critically ill, tsk tsk tsk!" A brawny man with bare breasts exclaimed to his drinking companion.

"Hey! I heard it a long time ago. If the little king can't hold on, then his sister will inherit the throne. I heard that his sister is not married yet?" A drunk man hiccupped and his eyes lit up.

Hearing this, Cass' eyes also glowed red: Well, if I marry her, I might become a king!

But after a while, he remembered his identity, a poor and depraved sailor, stop daydreaming.

Taking a sip of the wine, Cass directly hugged the service girl who passed the wine everywhere in the darkness behind him, put it on his shoulders and ran upstairs. He felt that there was an evil fire in his heart, and he didn't want to vent it. uncomfortable.

And the service girl on the shoulder didn't struggle, instead she laughed non-stop: "Dude, don't push so hard! You hurt me—"

As a result, Cass felt even more uncomfortable, and his pace became faster and faster.

Cass was not the only one who was full of anger. In a castle near Madrid, the future king of Spain, son of Charles I, Prince Philip was also full of anger.

As the son of Charles I and the heir to the Spanish throne, Prince Philip is also an ambitious figure, and the love of power has penetrated into his bones.

Guess what he heard today? The King of England is dying! The first heir, Princess Mary, is not yet married.

Oh my God! This is truly God's best gift to Spain.

Prince Philip walked quickly, thinking excitedly.
