Chapter 1558 The Princess' Decision

When Sophia was called to the Military Lord's Mansion, she found that the atmosphere here was a bit heavy.

"What's wrong with everyone?" Sophia asked strangely, "Why do you all have such serious expressions?"

"Your Excellency is in the room. He has something to tell you." Ella held Sophia in her arms, feeling sympathetic to what happened to the royal family.

"Sister, what happened?" Sophia noticed the heavy atmosphere and was suddenly a little scared.

"Okay, go in quickly." Ella pushed Princess Sophia into Chu Yun's study.

Chu Yun was sitting in the study, and when he saw Princess Sophia coming in, he hesitated to speak.

"Mr. Chu, did something bad happen, and it's related to me?" Sophia was like a child who did something wrong, with anxiety in her tone.

"England has sent a new envoy," Chu Yun said.

"New missions? Isn't that great, they should have brought me a letter from my brother..." Sophia was a little excited at first, but seeing that Chu Yun didn't show any joy, she seemed to realize something, " Could it be that something happened to my brother..."

"This is a letter from the envoy, which describes everything that happened in the past two years." Chu Yun handed the letter from the envoy of England to Sophia.

Sophia took the letter, and as she scanned it line by line, her body was trembling slightly, and tears dripped on the parchment.

"No, it can't be true..." Sophia burst into tears at the end.

She lost Charles I, who usually protected her, and now has no direct royal line in England and Scotland, which is like a nightmare.

The Stuart royal family, which was originally underpopulated, is facing the dilemma of having no successors!
"The thing has already happened. The murderer must be severely punished so that the deceased can die peacefully." Chu Yun hugged Sophia, who was crying because of crying, and could only comfort her as much as possible.

It took half an hour for Sophia to stop crying, and Chu Yun found that she had fallen asleep because she was tired from crying.

It's just that there are still tears on her face, and her expression looks very painful.

"My lord, Sophia hasn't been stimulated, has she?" Aila, Da Yuer, Xiao Xiuer and others asked after Chu Yun came out.

"She fell asleep, you take care of her first, and if she wakes up, let's see her decision."

Chu Yun couldn't say anything about the fact that the English Parliament wanted Sophia to return to the United Kingdom as queen.But no matter what, he will let Sophia decide to stay.

If Sophia wants to stay, with the current small England, she really has to leave.On the contrary, if Sophia wants to leave the capital, Chu Yun will respect her choice, and she bears a heavy responsibility.

Sophia slept until the evening before waking up. Thinking of the murder of her brother Charles I and his family, she cried again and again.With a straightforward character like her, great joy and sorrow are not hidden in her heart.

Aila, Da Yuer, and Xiao Xiuer were all comforting her in the room, while Chu Yun paced in the courtyard.

The development of things became unexpected, and he had to change his diplomatic strategy towards Britain.

If you put aside your selfishness, letting Sophia go back to be the queen will undoubtedly cooperate better than Charles I.

After all, Charles I was too greedy. In order to obtain more royal income, he violated England's traditions, so that Parliament stood up against him.

And Sophia also understands the language and culture here, and the personal friendship with Chu Yun is even better, and the cooperation can also be more intimate.

But from a personal point of view, Chu Yun always felt a little uncomfortable about letting Sophia leave the capital like this, or it seemed that something was missing when this troublesome little princess left the capital.

It was this kind of public-private conflict that made Chu Yun very entangled, so he had to hand over the choice to Sophia herself.

Sophia was brought out for dinner, Chu Yun still wanted to ask Sophia, "Are you planning to return to England, or stay in the capital?"

"Mr. Chu, can I see the envoys from England before making a decision?" Sophia asked with red eyes.

"Of course, this is your right. No matter what you choose, I will support you. If you stay here, if the people in the English mission continue to be unyielding, I can sink them all into the sea to feed the fish. If you If you choose to go back to England, I will let the fleet take you back to London safely and send someone to protect you." Chu Yun stated his decision at the dinner table.

"Yeah." Sophia nodded.

The next day the English envoys from the city of London met their future queen, Sophia I.

Sophia was obviously more mature when she left the city of London. Her appearance made all the English envoys and a few Scottish nobles among the envoys line up and salute: "Honorable Queen Sophia, we honor the English Parliament and the Scottish Parliament. Order to invite Her Majesty Queen Sophia to return to London to rule over the seven million people of England, Scotland and Ireland."

Sophia just nodded her chin lightly, and asked in a cold tone: "Who killed my brother?"

The envoys glanced at each other, and the first thing Queen Sophia did was to ask the murderer who murdered Charles I, which made the envoys aware of Sophia's anger.

"Oxford Parliament and London Parliament merged to become Parliament. The investigation team they set up has found the murderer. They are several members of the House of Commons of the London Parliament. They have all been imprisoned. At the same time, Pym, Hampton, The Earl of Essex, Cromwell and other officers of the parliamentary army. All these people are waiting for Your Majesty to go back before entering the trial process. Not only the murderer is tried, but millions of people are waiting for you to exercise Only with the power of the king can the country operate normally." The envoys of England expressed their difficulties to Sophia.

As a tradition of the coexistence of the king and the parliament, there is no king for a while, and the orders issued by the parliament are not rigid. It is urgent for Sophia to go back to deal with the aftermath of the British Civil War.

"You can find my sister, Princess Elizabeth. She has been with the Duke of Palatinate for many years and is better at managing state affairs than me," Sophia said.

"Your Majesty must not do so. Those who support Princess Elizabeth are members of the parliamentary opposition. If Princess Elizabeth becomes queen, it will cause dissatisfaction among us royalists and the East. At that time, the country may fall into division again. You are England The queen recognized by the Parliament and the Scottish Parliament, only if you go back, the two parliaments will be convinced, and the opposition members of the defeated parliament cannot say anything, after all, they are the defeated side." The English envoys persuaded.

"I..." Sophia was fighting in her heart, and finally made up her mind, "In the past, my father, king, and brother loved me very much, and they didn't expect me to do anything, and I couldn't do anything well... But this time, It may be necessary for me to complete their mission in their place."
