Chapter 1256 1254. Alas, every family has its own problems.
In addition to establishing the Plantagenet Kingdom and becoming a great ruler, King Louis was most talked about on the continent for his outstanding masculine charm.
Especially the fact that his wife and his lover got along very well and had a very stable relationship with the king made many men with evil intentions but no courage feel envious and jealous from the bottom of their hearts. After all, both Queen Elizabeth and Earl Margaret were outstanding women who were hard to forget once you met them.
However, it was today that Murphy discovered that King Louis' "abilities" were more than that.
After all, this queen who looked quite gentle and delicate had shown decisiveness when talking to Murphy, which was impressive. When Murphy heard the queen's request and return, he knew that this queen was by no means an exquisite vase in King Louis' arms as rumored by the outside world.
This lady is a tough character.
The fact that she had served as the leader of the group of restorationists on Hermes Island for thirty years without being discovered by her partner was enough to show the amazing qualities she had hidden beneath her delicate appearance.
But Murphy still has doubts about this matter.
He frowned and said:
"Let's not talk about the reward and the cooperative relationship between you and Baiya, which sounds very complicated. I need to know some inside information first, such as the current situation of the Isa Kingdom's restorers on Helms Island and the various doubts about the kidnapping of Princess Bridget.
You said this was not planned by you, but honestly, if I think from the simplest point of view, it is not difficult for me to come to a surprising conclusion. If something happens to Princess Bridget, the one who will benefit the most is your son, right? "
"That's exactly what those guys wanted you to think. It was a very vicious frame-up, and those bastards almost succeeded. Fortunately, Margaret is a wise woman, and my husband never doubted me.
Most importantly, I really look after Bridget as if she were my own daughter.
I was no less angry than my husband and Margaret when I learned she had been kidnapped.”
Queen Elizabeth looked a little haggard.
She touched her neck which was covered by a scarf, and the perceptive Murphy could sense a trace of bruise on the slender white neck.
It looked like it had been pinched by another lady.
Well, it is not difficult to guess that when King Louis was worried about the safety of his daughter, Countess Margaret, who was angry, also had a fight with the queen. Wow, what a hot and exciting daily life in the palace!
I just wonder if the Countess and the Queen will use the classic female method of grabbing hair and slapping each other when they fight?
"This is an accident! It was a loss of control, a dangerous move derived from the struggle between the conservatives and radicals among the Restorationists."
The queen noticed Murphy's eyes. She subconsciously touched her neck which was still a little painful, and explained softly:
"As I said before, when my father was forced by my husband thirty years ago to commit suicide in order to preserve the dignity of the family, on the night I was forced to marry my enemy, I vowed to avenge my family and country.
At that time, I was just a girl who had just reached adulthood. I was overwhelmed by hatred but had little experience in the world. Under the guidance of some people, I easily decided to embark on this path of no return.
When I was about to do something stupid, it was Lord Sim who dissuaded me in time.
In addition to being a member of the management of the Ring Tower, he also maintains a very good personal friendship with my father and ancestors. I also regard him as a trustworthy elder. The mystery of the Land of Creation that I told you about is related to Lord Sim.
But we can talk about this later.
In short, Lord Sim advised me not to take foolish and self-destructive actions. Once the queen launched a foolish assassination attempt on the king, it would directly trigger the confrontation between the Isa people and the Xilan people, leading to uncontrollable war and disaster.
That was not what a princess of a fallen country should do, and he advised me to learn from my husband.
Facts have proved that Lord Sim has a long-term vision. After following my husband for many years, I also realized that the fall of the Kingdom of Isa was not just due to the strong invasion of the Xilan people. During the hundreds of years when the Old Church was regarded as the state religion, my country had been drained of its essence by that behemoth.
Even without the Sealanders' war, my country would have collapsed in the outbreak of various conflicts.
On the contrary, the merger brought about by my husband gave the Isa people an opportunity to break down and then rebuild, allowing the corrupt Isa people's system to catch up with the high-speed steam train of the Xilan people.
I saw with my own eyes what was going on beneath the surface and realized how successful my husband was at ruling the kingdom and how incompetent my father and grandfather were in comparison.
It was from that time that I realized that the Restorationist group I had been secretly managing had become a time bomb that could explode at any time. "
At this point, the queen shook her head with a complicated expression and said:
“The composition of the Restorationists was complex. There were nobles who were angry because they lost their wealth and status due to the invasion of the Sealanders, there were also ambitious people who wanted to see the Plantagenet Kingdom in civil strife and take the opportunity to rise, and there were also some diehard Old Church members who were hostile to the monarch.
The worst thing is that there are some guys with complicated backgrounds mixed into this organization.
It was only after I learned enough political thinking from my husband that I realized how terrible the problems were in the group I had formed. What's worse, I used my influence as the last princess of the Isha people to help them secretly obtain one-third of the fleet's strength when the Isha Kingdom's fleet collapsed internally.
It was that overly reckless behavior back then that led to the frequent problems today.
The rationalists among the restorationists who followed me had realized after thirty years of changes that the rule of the Plantagenet Kingdom was unshakable, so they took my advice and began to try to negotiate with the king through peaceful means to resolve the issue of Hermès Island.
The two sides signed a series of agreements over the past few years to ensure that there would not be a serious military conflict between them.
Things were moving in the right direction, but the radicals never stopped obstructing and making trouble. They even colluded with the most chaotic faction among the Helms, creating a situation where the tail was too powerful to be eliminated.
Mr. Murphy, I don't want to hide the fact that before this sudden incident broke out, the Elders of Helms Island and I had already discussed and prepared to clean up those guys who would only bring chaos and disputes.
Perhaps they heard the news and decided to go all out to completely destroy the last hope of peace between Hermes Island and the Plantagenet Kingdom.
It turns out they are a problem for everyone!"
"You are very frank, which shows me your sincerity. But if you are the one who promotes the final reconciliation between Hermès Island and the Plantagenet Kingdom, wouldn't that be equivalent to exposing your terrible identity in front of your husband?"
Murphy said:
"I can see from your husband's eyes his love for you, and your years of deception will definitely lead to a bad direction."
"That was a decision I made in the past, and I have to bear the consequences of that decision today."
The Queen sighed and said:
"To be honest, I have found a quiet monastery for myself on the outskirts of the foggy city.
I knew how sad and angry my husband would be, and I was ready to spend the rest of my life alone, provided that my children would not be implicated by me. Therefore, I had to solve the troubles caused by me before this matter could no longer be covered up.
My William should inherit his father's power and become the co-ruler of the Sealanders and the Isa people, instead of spending his life in captivity and doing nothing because of his incompetent mother.
Margaret, who loves Louis more and is more pure than I, will be a better queen than I am.
I confirm this.
So, Mr. Murphy, as a gentleman among vampires, would you be willing to help a lady in distress?
I promise you that if we reach an agreement, I will use all my power to promote a peaceful resolution of the border conflict between the Plantagenet Kingdom and Transia before I am deposed."
"Well, your promise sounds more like a helpless person trying to grasp the last straw, but you are right. If the issue of Hermes Island can be resolved peacefully, it will be a good thing for me."
Murphy rubbed his brows, thought for a moment, and said:
"How about this, I'll connect you with the most elite commander among the Helms Rangers.
Ms. Effie and the undead I sent over are capable enough to get rid of those troublesome messes before King Louis' army lands on the island. As for how you will deal with this kind of internal affairs in the future, I have no interest in participating in it. What do you think? "
"That couldn't be better. Thank you for your assistance, sir."
Queen Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief.
As the leader behind the Isha Restorers, she certainly knew the great reputation of the Helms Rangers. With the support of those elite hunters, she and her subordinates were confident that they could resolve this matter smoothly.
Of course, the queen was also very tactful and did not wait for Murphy to ask, and took the initiative to speak:
"There is an ancient legend in the Kingdom of Isha that there are some strange 'sinkholes' in the mountains in the north of Greeny Island. The local mountain folks have been saying that it is the entrance to hell, but it is not actually the case.
Lord Sim had gone to explore the cenote when my ancestors launched the war to unify Greeny Island, and every subsequent king of the Isha people would assist Lord Sim in going deeper into it.
There are wonderful and magnificent machines in those cenotes. According to Lord Sim, it should be an energy regulation center belonging to the Creator. It is hidden underground but there is a wonderful "observation station" on the surface.
The White Cliff of the demiplane where the Ring Tower is located is the part of the mysterious creation place exposed to the outside world.
This is the deepest secret of the Ring Tower and the Kingdom of Isha. Even my husband did not know this secret after he inherited the legal throne of the Isha people. "
she says:
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
“But my husband’s travels in the Songhai Empire made him see the potential of the Land of Creation, so he decided to start a new round of exploration there.
Considering that you are the chosen one of the God of Creation, all the places of creation in this world are your territory, so it is not considered as betraying the interests of the country for me to tell you these secrets. More importantly, Lord Sim once told my father that he did not think that the power hidden under the mountains in the north of Greeny Island should be controlled by mortals.
That is the realm of the Creator.
I am familiar with my husband's mind. He is a combative and strong lion in his prime. Once he really gets strength from it, perhaps his shelved desire for "continental hegemony" will be reactivated.
But Transia's rise needs no further proof. If a war breaks out between the two, I don't think the Plantagenet Kingdom will be able to continue its previous victories under your leadership. It would be a terrible blow to my husband's prestige.
Therefore, the best way to avoid failure is not to start a war. Without disputes, there will be no distinction between victory and failure. "
"You seem to be a wise pacifist, which is rare."
Murphy smiled and said:
"Thank you for sharing. It seems that I really need to accept Mr. Sim's invitation to go to White Cliff. However, regarding the assistance you just mentioned,
I don't think it's a good idea to involve an ordinary person like you in the confrontation with Dusk, so I accept your kindness but don't need you to help us catch the mysterious 'Nun', but I do have one thing you can help me with.
About the Wolfsbane Clan.
The clan's territory on Greene Island is currently controlled by a faction called 'Wolf Griffin'. I can tell you clearly that the leader of the Wolf Griffin faction, Lady Cecilia, is a member of Dusk!
Moreover, she, the Blood Eagle Clan, and Transia all have a blood debt to settle.
My followers will be entering Greeny Island soon. I hope that your authority as the queen can give them some green light. You can even have limited discussions with your husband about this matter. After all, I don't think any aspiring king would allow the dark areas of his country to be occupied by a group of vampire mobs.
I have already solved the problem with Grand Duke Langdu.
All you need to do is put some political pressure on the law enforcement agencies in Fog City and other cities so that they don't get involved in solving the internal problems of the vampires.
I assure you that after we leave, the overall security of Green Island will take a qualitative leap forward.”
"Yes, it's not difficult."
The queen readily agreed.
Murphy nodded, said goodbye and hung up the phone. As for contacting the Helms Rangers, Adele would do it.
Murphy still had a serious meeting with King Louis, and a minute later, King Louis, dressed in royal ceremonial clothes, walked into the bridge of the Sun Boat with his attendants. He was about to thank Murphy when he heard the Vampire Governor say to him very proactively:
"You really should rest up, Your Majesty. Your daily life must be very tiring. I mean, you really work too hard."
"what?"
King Louis looked at Murphy's sudden "concern" in confusion.
He thought this was some kind of weird vampire joke, but he totally failed to understand the sympathy between men in Murphy's eyes. Other men were not lucky enough to enjoy a "harmonious family" like King Louis.
To be honest, Murphy is really looking forward to seeing what expression the now triumphant King Louis will have when facing all the cruelty after Queen Elizabeth's "true face" is exposed?
Hmm, it’s interesting to think about it.
-
"Sir Ferdinand, please forgive me for having to take care of my poor daughter. It is very rude to keep you waiting here for so long."
While King Louis was visiting Murphy, in the reception room of the king's ship, Countess Margaret, who had put on makeup but still had red eyes, walked into the cabin and apologized to the old knight who was waiting there. The latter waved his hand with a smile and asked a few questions about Princess Bridget, and then talked about the series of actions he had taken to open a museum with the funding of the countess.
It's like reporting project progress to "angel investors".
But to be honest, Countess Margaret didn't care.
She was a well-known wealthy woman, and it was no big deal for her to give away the money to build a museum for the Sealanders. However, the Countess was now thinking about her daughter's situation and was a little absent-minded.
It was not until several minutes later, when the old lord put down his teacup, closed his eyes and opened them again, that Countess Margaret came back to her senses with a start.
She looked at the old knight in front of her.
To be precise, looking at another consciousness in this body.
She said sharply:
"I've already quit! You shouldn't come and disturb my life at this time. It's more important."
The Countess narrowed her eyes, looked at the guy in front of her, and asked word by word:
"My daughter's kidnapping was caused by you, are you behind it? Are you using this despicable way to remind me where I come from?"
"Alas, if I had known that my best disciple would be so obsessed with a man, I should not have let you bear such heavy responsibilities that you have to give up a lot to fulfill, my poor Ola."
The old knight said in a gentle tone:
"Seeing you so immersed in this fantasy of love really forced me to review the way I educated you, but you are right, you have already withdrawn, and I have no reason to ask you to contribute to our career anymore.
Just do me a favor, Sister.
A small favor.
After this, you can enjoy whatever you don’t want to give up, and there will be no more relationship between us.”
