My British Empire

"Okay! If Earl Allen wins the battle, you will be with your mother forever!"

The queen mother heard that little Mary was so dependent on herself, and there was a smile in the corner of her eyes. However, for some reason, Queen Mary always had an ominous premonition in her heart.

When the mother and daughter were chatting happily, the queen mother's personal officer hurried in, with a flustered look on her face, as if she had fallen down, and there was some dust on her knees.

"Kathy! Why are you so flustered, you have to pay attention to etiquette, you know?"

Her Majesty the Queen Mother is still very tolerant of Casey, the middle-aged female officer she brought from France, and she is also the person she trusts the most in Scotland.

"I'm sorry! Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, I'm so rude! Please forgive me!"

Casey knelt on the ground and acted sincerely, with a very respectful tone.

"Okay! Get up, and tell me what it is that makes you so flustered!"

Empress Dowager Mary had an ominous feeling in her heart, as if she had seen Casey's look like this once.

Suddenly, her heart seemed to be poured with a basin of icy river water in the cold winter, and a chill pierced from the inside out.

And Kathy said it slowly with a trembling voice as if confirming her guess.

"Your Majesty, the Regent is back!"

"Did he win?" Queen Mary hurriedly asked, stirring her hands together unnaturally.

"You send Her Majesty back to sleep first, she is tired from playing!" Queen Mother Mary suddenly turned her head and whispered to the young maid who was playing with little Mary.

"Yes! Your Majesty the Empress Dowager!" the maid said softly and crisply.

Little Mary seemed frightened by Queen Mary's eyes, shrank her neck, and swallowed back the words stuck in her throat.

In the mood of little Mary's reluctance, she was carried back by the maid, and the conversation between the female officer Casey and Queen Mary continued.

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, Lord Regent, Lord..."

"What's the matter with him?" Mary urged impatiently when she saw the female officer's hesitation.

"Master Regent, he just came back with more than a thousand cavalry, and he is disheveled!"

Hearing this, Mary didn't know that Scotland had lost this war, and it was a disastrous defeat.

She lay on the seat unbearably, staring blankly at the front, muttering uncontrollably at the corners of her mouth.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" The female officer, Casey, was startled by Mary's behavior, and hurried forward, calling out to Queen Mary.

I don't know if it was Kathy who woke up, or because there was some concern urging her. After a while, Queen Mary came back to her senses.

"It's okay! I'm okay, Kathy! I'm just surprised!"

Seeing the teary eyes of her personal female officer, Mary couldn't help persuading her.

"Go and call the Lord Regent and the patriarchs of the other three families over!"

"Come on? Don't look like you're crying, you're a lady-in-waiting of the Queen Mother of Scotland!"

"Yes! Your Majesty the Queen Mother! I'm going, you have to adjust your mood!"

Mary watched Cassie sprinting away from the palace with a crying voice, she couldn't help but shook her head with a wry smile.

For this Casey who grew up with him, he felt helpless, and he still hasn't got rid of the crying problem since he was a child.

Mary sat in a chair, thinking about how she could protect her daughter. It would be impossible to rely on those useless Scottish nobles.

"Boom boom boom!" Half an hour later, the current regent, Lord James Hamilton, Earl of Argyle, walked in with a serious face. Mary took a closer look, and his pace was much slower than usual. , The wrinkles on the face are more obvious.

Then came Bishop David Beaton, the representative of the Scottish religion, who was also frowning at this time. It seemed that he was still quite worried about the future of Scotland.

The young Archibald Campbell, the 5th Earl of Argyll, and Adolf Lannox, the Earl of Lannox, even came here without any good colors on their faces. Obviously, they all already knew the details.

"Everyone! It's all my fault! I failed everyone's expectations. In front of all of you, I am here to propose to Her Majesty the Queen Mother to step down as Regent! I am not worthy to shoulder this burden!"

The Earl, who had escaped from the long journey, was very tired. He had been on the road continuously. In less than ten hours, the Earl's body couldn't bear it anymore, and his legs trembled a little.

"Lord Earl, we all have seen your contribution, and I don't think it will be any different for anyone this time!"

"So, you should continue to assist Mary in managing Scotland!" Of course, Queen Mary forbids the earl to leave now, she is not ready to take over yet! Can't be cheaper than others.

"Yes! Your Excellency the Earl is the most suitable for this position, you can't resign!" Earl Argyle and Earl Lannox said in unison, seeming to support Earl Allen.

In fact, after Scotland's defeat, no one would take the big pit of regent, especially the negotiations with the English. No matter who is the regent, they will definitely sign those treaties that betray the interests of Scotland. This big black pot is really too big.

Bishop Beaton still didn't speak, and stayed quietly.

"Hey! Since all the ministers and His Majesty the Empress Dowager support me, then I will reluctantly continue to hold the post!"

"But! Mr. Earl, my Mary cannot marry that sick bastard in England!" said Queen Mary suddenly.

"Ah!" Edward, who was lying on the grass reading a book, suddenly yawned, and he couldn't help feeling depressed.

"Who is scolding me again?"

Earl Allen shook his head with a wry smile, understanding what they meant, but finally agreed, after all, he was the person who knew Scotland best.

In Pink Canyon, after a night of statistics, Earl Wellington came to Duke Edward with a pair of bloodshot eyes.

Duke Edward was sitting on a rock at this moment, watching the new strings of captives appearing in front of him.

"My count! How did these people come here?"

Seeing Duke Edward pointing at the captives, Earl Wellington said with a smile:

"Your Excellency, it's funny to say that the hundreds of cavalry sent to chase the Scots yesterday, I thought they would get a few nobles. Who would have thought that there was a small wall at the mouth of the valley, which stopped a large group of Scots there. Chaos!"

"The cavalry were like catching sheep. They worked all night and caught more than 3,000 people! The rest all ran away!"

"Then why didn't you inform us?"

"Your Excellency, do you think that group of common people can be as smart as our nobles?"

The earl smiled disdainfully, and the contempt in his tone was clear.

"And how many of those Scottish savages have we captured in all?"

Duke Edward is still more concerned about his record.

"Respected Lord Duke, so far, we have captured a total of 14,680 people! This is an unprecedented record!"
