Reborn As a Pirate

No matter how close people are, there will be secrets in their hearts.

In Windsor Castle, Shaq had a deep feeling for this sentence for the first time.

He thought he knew everything about Lorraine's growth, and thought that Lorraine's life had been interfered by Helena.

But now it seems that...

Archbishop Berwick is called St. Xinwari Berwick, the Holy See of the Anglican Church, the leader of the Puritans, and the only saint.

Shaq knew he and Alia Drake were close friends, but he didn't know where their friendship began.

Shaq also knew that he was very kind to Lorraine, and he went to Tavistock more than once, and more than once used almost deceiving, shameless means to convert Lorraine, for example... a child who believes in God can see The legendary candy house...

The archbishop's great love for Lorraine was once the most important support for Shaq's hatred of Helena. After all, with such a holy and flawless elder in front, if Helena hadn't obstructed him, which child would refuse to fall into the embrace of God?

But what about what happened at Westminster Abbey?

The saint is in front, the father is by the side, Helena is far away at the other end of Tavistock, and Lorraine's body and mind have just been purified by the holy water...

That should be the closest Lorraine got to God, but he actually wrestled with that noble elder...?

Moreover, the king and queen of England were onlookers during the fight. After the fight, Lorraine even overturned the wall of Westminster Abbey...

Is this world crazy?

Shaq suddenly panicked, and he suddenly thought of a terrible fact, if Lorraine's choice of faith was not the result of Helena's intervention at all, if it was his own decision from the beginning...

England's most distinguished couple were chatting briskly and gossiping.

"I have always wondered how a gentleman like Elijah raised such a violent wild horse as little Drake." George III said happily, "Do you know why Baker ran to the Sultanate? The whole incident was caused by little Drake. Drake."

"His fleet went to Africa to expand his business. In Mombasa, the Portuguese taught their slave traders a lesson, and forced them out of their home port and fled to the Sultanate to seek asylum."

"This incident made Maria lose face. That woman was already a lunatic, but this time she simply went into battle naked, and wanted to tame the horse herself as His Majesty."

"She sealed up little Drake's property, abolished the trade license, and said that the Drake Chamber of Commerce was a pirate chamber of commerce. While asking the minister to protest with me, she sent a fleet to hunt down the thieves."

"Who knew that the two Navigator-class ships would be completely defeated by a privateer."

"Little Drake is not a fuel-efficient lamp. When he was a child, he dared to wipe his nose with the red coat of His Majesty's crown. Now that he has grown up, even His Majesty of Portugal is not enough to make him feel in awe."

"He formed a lawyer team in Madrid, bringing together 25 of the best lawyers in Iberia, including 8 Portuguese. His lawyer team filed a lawsuit in Madrid, accusing Maria of practicing banditry, illegal Robbing the sacred property of legitimate businessmen."

George III winked at his wife: "A bandit, a pirate, Maria was forced to respond in Old Charlie's capital. If it wasn't for fear of causing diplomatic disputes, I would really like to send an envoy to witness the trial and see the pious Maria in the dock Whether you can continue to maintain a holy face."

Queen Charlotte listened with relish,

Can't help but ask: "Maria herself appeared in court?"

"Is there a difference?" George III waved his hands, "Her embarrassment is embarrassing, and Portugal's embarrassment is embarrassing. The 74-door navigator class is the same as our cutting-edge third class, but the Portuguese admiral's ability has become The laughing stock of the world."

"Their only fig leaf is to win the first trial. Because of insufficient evidence, Drake Jr. lost the first trial. But his luxurious legal team did not lose everything. They won six months, and the Madrid court promised to hold a second trial."

"Jr. Drake went to the Sultanate to collect evidence. He bombarded the Sultanate's seaport all the way, wiped out their navy, and blocked their capital."

"Civil strife broke out in the Sultanate under high pressure. The old sultan was assassinated by the second prince, and the rebels killed the second prince. Then the fourth prince succeeded to the throne. The eldest, third, and fifth refused to accept it. The whole Muscat was in chaos."

"It was at this time that Little Drake invited Baker and our garrison in Africa. They only killed three soldiers and sent the sixth prince to the throne of Sudan. They not only maintained world peace, but also earned money for us. Substantial benefits come."

"Jr. Drake also made a lot of money from this war. He took away 197 slaves who were sheltered from the prison of the Sultanate, and obtained the testimony of the Sultan. The envoy of the Sultanate was in Madrid to prove his innocent."

"France, Holland, and Spain were also involved, and there were eleven gentlemen willing to give credit to the Portuguese for their misdeeds in East Africa. They were a formidable force, and one of them was a member of the Order of the Golden Fleece."

"Now the time for the second trial has been set, and the day after tomorrow, the trial will still be held in Madrid. I heard that Portugal has prepared a real lawyer this time, but everyone knows that Maria has already lost, and neither face nor face can be saved."

Queen Charlotte opened her mouth slightly: "This matter...how will it end?"

George III laughed loudly: "Is my wife worried about little Drake?"

"Don't worry, Maria is the king, and all kings are bound with shackles." He made a cross on himself, "The harder Maria falls, the more stable the little Drake's business in Portugal will be. Maria Nothing can be done, the big deal is to exclude the Drake Chamber of Commerce from the care of the policy, but the question is, when did the stingy Portuguese take care of foreign chambers of commerce?"

"It's really..." The queen rolled her eyes beautifully. "It sounds like His Majesty is happy this time. The English merchants defeated the Kingdom of Portugal. It's like going back to 200 years ago."

"No, Sophie, history has moved on. Our people will testify this time, and the Portuguese's appeal against Drake Jr. will be settled in the same trial."

George III knocked on the document in front of him: "Mr. Drake, the testimony you bring will affect England's face. Because with Maria's temper, she will definitely bite back, so I need to know that this investigation report is really serious. Do you believe it?"

The topic changed without warning.

Shaq returned to his place in an instant, and immediately raised his chest: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the Drake Chamber of Commerce provided the most detailed ship data, and Colonel Emmons watched the entire Muscat battle. Judging from the actual combat performance, There is little chance of falsification of the report."

This assertion caused George III's mood to suddenly fall into a complicated state.

"Qualified nobles should always know the distinction between public and private." He frowned, "Mr. Drake, as a veteran admiral, you really think that a commercial frigate with less than 60 guns and firepower not exceeding the limit can completely defeat two frigates. A powerful battleship with 74 gates?"

"Yes, she can, Your Majesty." Shaq replied decisively, "This is not my opinion alone, but the consensus of the entire Admiralty."
