I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

"Because of Miss Raya?"

John's answer was standard, not even surprising.

indeed.

According to the current situation, the biggest reason why Xu Siling is determined to go to war with England is the words of Saint Raya.

As a saint, Faile supported the legitimacy of the Valois family in the royal family in the name of God.

Edward III, who denied Faile, was undoubtedly the greatest heretic.

As the one and only knight exclusively for the Saint, it is undoubtedly politically correct for him to regard Edward as a thorn in his side.

But after John answered, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

If the answer was really that simple, Xu Siling wouldn't have asked him.

"Of course she has her reasons." Xu Siling changed her tone, "John, I know you and the Queen don't want me to go to England."

"Of course, you'd be more useful in France!"

"Are you afraid that if you doubt me, I will turn against you, as the queen said?"

John couldn't help but remain silent. Deep down, he didn't think Xu Siling would turn against him.

Because there is no reason.

But in the eyes of outsiders, there is a reason.

This is why Edward III asked Isabella to write a letter, which took so much trouble to send across the ocean to the town of Raya.

Both France and Britain believed that the relationship between Xu Siling and the royal family had broken down, and the crown prince had even become a hostage. This was the key reason why the royal family could not forgive Xu Siling.

In the eyes of others, Xu Siling has the possibility of defecting.

But the fact is that Xu Siling's relationship with the royal family did not break down. In fact, the relationship between the two sides was very good.

"Of course I don't think you will defect, but Bonnet is not worried about this." John explained, "For me, there is no need to prove our friendship, but in the eyes of the French nobles, if you go to England at this time, it will undoubtedly bring a lot of fallacies and pressure. They will suspect that you have defected, thus destroying the friendship and harmony between the French royal family at this time."

"The queen has considered a lot. She is a good woman. You know better than me." Xu Siling smiled, "But John, have you ever thought about this? If I want to go to England, do you think Miss Raya will stop me or not allow me to go?"

John also smiled: "To be honest, whether it is based on the premise that the royal family breaks with you or the premise that we are both friendly, I don't think Miss Raya has any reason to agree to your going to England."

Xu Siling smiled but said nothing.

John couldn't help but frowned: "Is it really because Isabella is Blanche's aunt that you have to do this? Don't be too crazy, even though you are indeed a lunatic."

"No, you are quite right John, Miss Raya certainly doesn't want me to go to England."

"and you."

“But she believed me.”

"letter"

"This belief is not that they believe I will not defect. It is that they believe that I can create more miracles in England." Xu Siling patted John's shoulder. "So at the beginning, Fagui and the Queen did not have the same thinking as Miss Raya and me."

John recalled what Xu Siling had said earlier.

The reason why he did this and declared war on England so firmly was not because England was a thorn in my eyes, nor was it because he missed the powerful France in the past.

So, what is the reason?

John did ask that again.

“People should always live in expectation, or should we say, live in their own ideals.”

"I did not understand."

Xu Siling smiled and shook her head: "John, you just need to understand human nature. For example, many times, if we can see the future and know what is going to happen, we will prepare for the future in advance. But if the future is not what we want, we have to try to change it."

John was surprised: "Could it be that Miss Raya has seen something of the future through the Lord?"

The French royal family is a great filial son of the Holy Church in history.

But John, who believed in the spirit of chivalry, still had a strong sense of belonging to the Lord.

Therefore, he always maintained a subconscious trust in the fact that Fei'er was a saint.

Xu Siling still shook her head: "I said, we are discussing human nature, not divinity. God is too far away from us. Can you guarantee that it can take care of everyone?"

To put it bluntly, Xu Siling knew that John would pay a heavy price in the next few decades of French history.

John's defeat was as devastating as his father Philip VI's defeat at the Battle of Crécy.

If it weren't for John, Xu Siling really wouldn't care about these things.

In other words, he and Fei'er don't necessarily have to be in France.

I'm just familiar with John.

John's kindness and tolerance, the sense of justice in his green eyes, and his optimistic temperament all speak of this fact.

He was not a good king.

But he will be the best king for the people.

To say this may be to praise John too highly.

But considering that throughout the Middle Ages in Europe, there was promiscuity, rampant illegitimate children between lovers, homosexuality, group sex, and treating people as toys for entertainment.

For example, Edward II was a dead homosexual, and his son Edward III was a slut who was addicted to women.

There are too many illegitimate children.

This is just the UK and France, not to mention other regions.

In such a contrast, John loves his family and is loyal, has extremely high moral standards, feels guilty when he makes mistakes, laughs like a child when he is happy, and is a sentimental and good man.

No matter how outstanding Edward III's political achievements were in history.

Compared with John, Xu Siling still decided to support John.

This is the path chosen by Xu Siling, it is his own path, so it is normal that John does not understand.

As mentioned before, this is human nature, not divine nature.

John hesitated, and finally asked, "Are you really going to England?"

"go."

"Can you tell me what you are going to do in England?"

Xu Siling raised the corner of her mouth in a wicked smile, motioning John to come closer.

After Xu Siling's explanation, John's eyes gradually widened.

"Oh my god are you serious? Aren't you afraid of you?"

"No one can stop me. Even if they surround me, I can break through the defense and escape. Besides, they may not do this to me."

"Then I have to cooperate with you."

"Of course, I expect you to avenge your past. Not for your father, but for France and for yourself."

Xu Siling thought of something and said with a smile, "Miss Raya's bodyguard An Li once said that revenge has always been a game for fools."

John nodded in agreement: "Then she is quite wise."

"Yes, she also said, what a pity she was a fool, and then she hacked the man to death."

Five days later.

Raya town, central France.

Blanche's bedroom. The situation in the bedroom at this moment is a little bit tricky.

Because Blanche was pregnant, it was not suitable for her to go out, so Fei'er decided to hold the negotiation here.

Fei'er believes that everyone needs to know about this.

This everyone includes the people close to Xu Siling - women.

Blanche stroked her belly. Fei'er asked her to lean on the bed to rest, but she insisted on sitting up.

Her slightly gloomy eyes scanned all the people in the bedroom.

There was a long table in the middle, and Fei'er's petite body sat in the main seat.

Then on the left and right were her and Chris.

Chris seemed a little surprised. She didn't know what Fei'er called her for, and she felt uneasy.

As for Falina?
Blanche looked at Farina deeply.

Blanche had heard of the girl named Farina many times, but this was the first time they met.

Farina was obviously sensitive and inferior. If Chris was fidgeting, it was because she didn't know whether she should sit or stand, and she was as flustered as a headless fly.

Even when the servants brought something over, Farina would hurriedly stand up, take it, and do it herself.

Blanche had met many people, at least the ladies of Paris, but none of them had the innocence in Farina's green eyes.

And Ella?
She sat opposite Fei'er, with a dull expression, vague eyes, and gray pupils like deep lake water.

He looked like he was thinking, but when he stared into his eyes, it seemed as if he was just in a daze.

This negotiation was more like a targeted questioning.

As for the person to be interrogated?
Naturally, it was Xu Siling’s wife Ella.

Xu Siling is a loner, so the people who are close to him are everyone in the room.

One wife, one lord, and three lovers.

Chris and Farina didn't know what Fei'er was doing by gathering everyone together; this was the first time.

But Ella's indifference seemed like she knew something, yet seemed to know nothing.

in contrast.

Blanche could probably guess what Fei'er was going to do.

Since Fei'er became a saint, her style of dressing has changed.

The style is mainly serious and plain, and most of them wear black or gray cloaks.

I never wear gemstones, jewelry or other decorative items on my body.

But the exception was the jewel brooch that Xu Siling gave her.

When she dresses up every day, Fei'er will wear the brooch to show her love for it.

Fei'er sat in her seat, gently concerned about the health of everyone on the field.

"Chris, I heard that you have been helping out at the manor. I'm sure Ella is grateful to you."

Chris felt embarrassed. She didn't know whether Ella was grateful or not, but it was true that she had caused Ella a lot of trouble.

"Ms. Raya, you know I have nothing to do."

"Farina, it was you and your aunt who took good care of the women who were persecuted in the Tamu Castle witch incident. I will always remember the help you have brought to Raya Town with medicinal herbs."

Farina smiled stiffly: "Nothing happened. It's all my fault! Miss Raya, you are too polite!"

"Princess, how are you?"

Blanche smiled gently: "Same old, nothing has changed."

Fei'er suddenly took a deep breath and sighed deliberately for everyone on the field to hear.

"Unfortunately, when the child is born, I'm afraid the father may not have the opportunity to be present."

Except for Ella, everyone on the field looked surprised.

really.

Blanche was certain in her heart, she could guess that Fei'er had called everyone together because of this matter.

But even though she could guess it, Blanche was still surprised when she got the news.

Because there is only one reason why Xu Siling cannot return to Raya Town.

He was going across the ocean to England!
Blanche couldn't help swallowing and looked at Ella who had a blank expression on her face.

Chris couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Raya, is the war going to end so quickly? When my father wrote the letter, it was estimated to take some time. Although it won't be too long, it will at least be after the child is born."

"It's not entirely true to say it has nothing to do with the war, but it's a bit far-fetched to say it's related." Fei'er narrowed her blue eyes and looked at Ella: "Aren't you right, Ella?"

Ella stayed firmly in her seat.

She grew faster than Fei'er, or rather, Fei'er grew too slowly.

If he stood up, Ella would have half of Gao Feier's head.

Not to mention that Ella has begun to take on the youthful appearance of a young girl, while Fei'er's face is still so tender and cute.

But don't be fooled by Fei'er's childish face and petite figure, she already has the aura of a person who has been in a high position for a long time.

Her light words were like a question, locking the atmosphere on the scene and making the air in the bedroom seem to solidify.

Chris opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out. Farina was panicked and didn't know what to do. She still didn't understand what was going on.

"I don't understand what Miss Raya is trying to say."

"You know it very well. No, I should say you've always known it, but you wanted to hide it! Xu can hide it from us, but he won't hide it from you. At least from the changes in the layout of the manor, I know very well that you know the true direction of things."

Ella raised her gray eyes and remained silent. It was unclear whether she didn't want to say anything or didn't know what to say.

Blanche's gentleness eased the atmosphere in the bedroom: "Ms. Raya, you'd better speak directly. I think Chris and Miss Farina don't understand what you are going to say."

"I called everyone here because I think everyone should know about this, at least you should know." Fei'er obviously complained, "Queen Isabella of England, yes, the mother of King Edward III of England, wrote a letter to ask for help from Xu, hoping that Xu would go to England!"

Chris and Farina were unaware of this and were surprised again.

Chris: "Ah? Didn't Xu say that he went north to explore the northern front?"

Farina: "Is it possible that this is a misunderstanding?"

"That's not the point! The point is, Xu really decided to go to England! Maybe he really wants to save that damn Queen of England!" Fei'er thought of something, turned her head to look at Blanche, and apologized, "Oh, I know, Queen Isabella is the princess' aunt, I didn't mean that."

Blanche waved her hand without caring.

Fei'er continued, "I received a letter from Xu yesterday. In the letter, he stated that he was going to England to meet Queen Isabella and King Edward III of England. To be honest, when he set out for the north, I had a hunch that this would happen, but he kept denying it, which made me feel lucky. But damn, my worries were right!"

Blanche couldn't help but nod in approval.

She was present at the time and also believed that Xu Siling would not go to England.

But Fei'er has always been suspicious about this matter, and she still feels strange about it.

Now that it has been confirmed that Faye's worries were correct, Blanche's aura of Saint Faye has deepened.

This is the saint.
"But I'm curious, Ella. Don't tell me that you didn't know Xu's decision from the beginning, or that you knew Xu would do this before he left."

Fei'er was aggressive, Ella remained calm, Chris looked around, and Farina was confused.

Blanche gently stroked her belly, her gloomy eyes paying attention to the expressions of the people in the bedroom. (End of this chapter)
