I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Chapter 261 Philippa and her daughter

When Xu Siling was acting arrogantly in the palace, Edward III was not upset, because Xu Siling was the first knight of France, and it was normal for him to be arrogant.

Xu Siling called Edward III her cousin in the palace, but Edward III was not upset because according to the letters his mother Isabella wrote to win over Xu Siling, it didn't matter if they forced the relationship.

Xu Siling killed his favorite cabinet minister in front of him, but Edward III still did not break down, because according to the tradition of knight duels, anything that happened during the duel was normal, and as the king he had to accept this fact.

Although this fact is heartbreaking and heart-wrenching.

But when Xu Siling said with a sincere and apologetic expression on his face that he was French, Edward III could no longer hold back.

During the Normandy Dynasty in England, the King of England was indeed French, there is no doubt about that.

But in fact, the first king of the Plantagenet dynasty was Henry II.

His mother Matilda was English and his father was Geoffrey V, Count of Anjou, who was French.

Following the principle of descent from the father, Henry II's bloodline is derived from Edward III, so there is nothing wrong with saying that he is French.

In fact, Edward III could not deny this.

Because he had always maintained his claim to the throne of France and had not completely given it up.

One of the reasons he maintained his claim was that he had French royal blood.

Wouldn't it be ridiculous for him to deny that he was French?
Xu Siling attacked him on the face, and finally spoke to him as if he were one of them. Edward III's face was so pale that it couldn't be more pale.

He considered himself to be a man of high self-cultivation, with a ferocious expression, staring angrily at Xu Siling as she disappeared into the distance. He stretched out his hand tremblingly, pointing at the body of his good friend - Yaen.

"Give him a proper burial and don't mistreat his family"

Shaking off the servant's support, he returned to the throne and sat down alone.

But of the three people originally in the palace, one was missing.

Another cabinet minister, a noble, didn't know how to respond and just lowered his head.
After a long silence, the minister finally couldn't help but ask.

"Does Knight Raya need to be punished in any way, Your Majesty?"

"Do not."

Edward III did not hesitate.

His fingers drummed on the throne.

"We need him right now, but I didn't expect him to be so strong. I'm not afraid to tell you, when I think back to what just happened, I feel a chill down my neck."

"We have to admit that Raya Knight is indeed a tricky double-edged sword."

"You will go find my mother later and ask her to help ease the situation regarding Knight Raya. Our first contact was not good, and perhaps my mother can help."

The minister was surprised: "Ah, me? Then your Majesty the King..."

"I need to go vent my anger! Damn it, he actually killed Ion!"

The minister immediately understood, bowed and left.

The so-called release of sexual desire meant that Edward III was going to find his countless lovers to have babies.

I wonder if the feminine and pale color on his face was fabricated.

There was a huge uproar in France about Xu Siling's trip to England.

The nobles were no longer afraid of any threats and condemned Xu Siling's actions.

Many of the people who are sitting on the fence and watching are completely one-sided.

Everyone hated Xu Siling's betrayal.

In addition, the letter in which Fei'er frankly blamed Xu Siling was exposed, and the reputation of the perfect knight who had no one to protect him was completely reduced to the same level as that of a pig.

Marquis Boggs sent someone to pick up Chris to take him home again, but Chris refused again. She wanted to stay and help Miss Raya build the manor castle.

With Fei'er's promise, Marquis Boggs had no choice but to give up this idea.

Fortunately, this incident did not have much impact on the four territories directly under the jurisdiction of Feier.

The people of Raya Town, in particular, had preconceived doubts about Xu Siling's betrayal of France.

Because this happened so suddenly, the people of Raya Town were the ones who benefited the most. It was hard for them to believe that the knight they admired was who people said he was.

Therefore, the Executioner's Manor was not besieged or bullied.

All family members at the manor received news from Ella, and even though it didn't reveal everything, it gave them peace of mind.

Even Ella is ready to march north to England with the executioner soldiers.

As for when to go north, we need Xu Siling's notification.

It is difficult for family members to break their faith in Xu Siling. Even if Xu Siling really betrayed France and went to England, this executioner family would follow him without hesitation.

Because Xu Siling "defected" to England, Prince Charles was released by Fei'er and escorted back to Paris.

When Charles returned to Paris, every noble and commoner he met had an expression that said "you suffer" on their faces.

Charlie, who knew the plan, felt helpless and said nothing.

Although Xu Siling did not deliberately teach him anything, he and Xu Siling lived together in the soldiers' tent for a long time.

Even if Xu Siling didn't teach him, Charlie would learn a lot just by watching with his eyes.

What's more, for the future of France, Xu Siling chose to get stuck in the quagmire and didn't care about her reputation.

Charlie's heart is very complicated.

After returning to the palace and seeing John and Bonnet, Charlie hugged his mother and then asked John curiously.

"Father, did you ask the teacher to do this?"

John looked wronged: "I'm not that cunning. It was Xu who wanted to do this, and I advised him! But Miss Raya didn't stop him, so what can I say?"

Bonnet also found out about this after John came back. He wanted to blame John for not doing as agreed, but Xu Siling had already left and she couldn't catch up with her, so she could only let things take their course.

"I hope the teacher's decision is worth it."

Charlie didn't make a fuss, he just stood there thinking, holding the weapon given by Xu Siling.

As a mother, Bonnet immediately noticed the change in Charlie.

Not only did his skin become darker, he also grew taller and his body became stronger.

What's more, he is more mature in dealing with people.

According to the old Charlie, if something like this happened, he would definitely make a fuss like a child, or use his little brain to calculate something.

But Charlie now is not like that, he is no longer impatient.

Witnessing his child's growth, Bonei feels happy and is even more grateful for Xu Siling's efforts.

"My dear son, Charlie, take a few days' rest, and then follow your father and learn how to handle government affairs."

Charlie shook his head: “No need, just take a rest, I will stay with my father honestly tomorrow.”

John smiled and said, "Charlie, it's very tiring to follow me, so don't throw a tantrum."

"No matter how tired I am, I don't think it will be as tiring as being in the soldiers' tent."

Bonei asked with concern: "You really don't need to rest?"

"The teacher said that rest is for the dead. My father even thought about dying, so why should I rest?"

"You little bastard." John laughed angrily and raised his foot to kick. Charlie dodged quickly.

His current skills are far beyond those of his peers, so it might be difficult for John to kick him like he did before.

Bonnet shook his head slightly. "You tried very hard, Charlie."

"The teacher also said that men should never be easily moved by themselves. Most people's seemingly hard work is just caused by stupidity. Staying up late to read books, getting up early to work hard for something, such as practicing sword every day. If these things are also worth boasting about, then the civilians in the world who are doing their best to survive, any of them are working harder than me. When people are giving, they are inevitably born with self-pity, but only by staying awake at all times can I see where my true value lies. The teacher said that my value is not in this."

Even John, who was not very perceptive, noticed his son's growth and touched Charlie's head with satisfaction.

"Don't worry, your teacher will take good care of himself. I'm sure he'll have plenty of stories to tell you when he comes back."

"Don't talk nonsense, father. When it comes to bragging, the teacher is really not as good as you."

Xu Siling lives every day in England peacefully.

He has been inquiring about the direction of public opinion in France.

It can be said that the more unpopular his name was in France, the easier it would be for him to be trusted in England.

News flowed slowly in the Middle Ages.

This is Xu Siling's unbridled control, doing whatever she wants in England.

In London, Xu Siling lived in the palace.

Edward III was just being polite, and Xu Siling immediately packed her bags and checked in.

In his words, the king is his cousin and it is normal for him to live in the palace.

The ten Porter soldiers could only live in the civilian area of ​​​​London.

Just as Xu Siling was lying in the yard enjoying the breeze and sun, the servant at the door saluted and called out to him, attracting his attention.

It was Queen Philippa, Edward's wife.

She was ten years older than Xu Siling, and was dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked exquisite, but she looked average in spirit, and her expression and behavior always showed a resentful attitude.

But it is understandable. Her husband likes to travel around and has a lot of lovers and illegitimate children. She is old and ugly, so she is probably out of favor. She doesn't know when was the last time she was favored by Edward III.

Philippa still has a good impression of Xu Siling, and it's not fake.

Perhaps it was the charm of the perfect knight title, but more of it was due to family - Philippa's mother was from the Valois family.

Her mother and Philip VI were of the same generation. Although Xu Siling was known as the murderer who forced Philip VI to death, it did not prevent her from liking the romance of Xu Siling snatching Princess Blanche in front of everyone.

Edward III didn't care what his wife Philippa did.

At first, Philippa just ran into Xu Siling and casually asked about the situation of the Valois family. After communicating with Xu Siling several times, she developed a good impression of him.

Anyway, Xu Siling lived in the palace, and Philippa would come to chat with Xu Siling every once in a while.

But this time it was different, Philippa brought another woman with her - Isabella.

But this Isabella is not Queen Isabella.

Daughter of Philippa and Edward.

All I can say is that women in the Middle Ages had the same few names over and over again, so it was normal to have the same name.

My daughter Isabella is sixteen years old this year and is already married.

As soon as she came in, she noticed Xu Siling who was leaning against the bed to take a rest, and her eyes lit up.

These days, news about Xu Siling is everywhere in London.

Known as the perfect knight of France, he dared to snatch the king's fiancée at the wedding in the French palace.

How brave and romantic is this?

Coupled with the previous duel between Xu Siling and Yan, the story spread extremely magically.

Although Ion is not a master of swordsmanship, he is also an expert.

In an unarmored duel, there are sword masters in England who can kill Ion with one blow.

But no one dared to say that they could kill Ion with one blow and chop off his head.

You can say Xu Siling is not good in every way, but you can't say he is a bad player.

Isabella had long wanted to meet the famous perfect knight, and now she finally saw him. He was handsome and had a good figure, and she loved him deeply.

I just wonder if this French knight minds that she is married.

"Oh, my beautiful Queen Philippa, are you ready to continue the topic we left unfinished yesterday?"

Xu Siling is arrogant to men but polite to women, maintaining the outside world's view of him.

There's no way, fraternity is the characteristic of every romantic knight.

"I'm afraid I don't have the time. Before we get started, let me introduce you to my daughter Isabella. She really wants to meet the perfect knight of France."

Xu Siling tried hard not to complain about her namesake.

"Your daughter is very much like you, both are beauties."

"Your Excellency the Knight has such a sweet tongue."

The three of them sat down and talked.

Isabella seemed very enthusiastic. She interrupted her mother several times and chatted directly with Xu Siling.

Xu Siling could see that Philippa did not have a high status in the family, and even her married daughter did not take her mother seriously.

Now is not the time to flirt, Xu Siling took the initiative to ask.

"Queen, what is it that brought you here to see me today?"

"It's like this. Queen Isabella just recovered from an illness a while ago, and she has always wanted to meet you. Today, after she felt much better, she immediately asked me to come and invite you."

Xu Siling pretended: "What can she do to me?"

Philippa smiled and said casually: "It's probably because of my husband and you. My husband and you are having some unpleasantness."

"Hey, Queen, don't say that. I feel my relationship with my cousin is still pretty good."

Philippa looked unconvinced, but she didn't care: "Even if it was a fair knight's duel, you killed my husband's favorite minister. My husband is a mean-spirited man."

Isabella was dissatisfied: "You can't speak ill of your father! He is the king."

Philippa looked embarrassed.

It is obvious that Philippa misses her mother's home, France, but it is normal that young Isabella has no sense of belonging to France.

"Your mother is the queen. It is not a lady's thing to rebuke her."

Isabella blushed as soon as she heard this: "My Lord Knight is right. I'm sorry, mother."

Philippa looked at her daughter, and she knew exactly what was going on, so she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

As a father, Edward III was promiscuous and unfaithful, and she had little say. With such a good father as a role model, how good could the children's character be?
"No matter what, Xu, you won't be able to enjoy the sun today. You must at least go see Queen Isabella. She really wants to see you."

"Sir Knight, how about I lead the way? I'll take you to see my grandmother."

Philippa stared, hesitating to speak, and finally said nothing. (End of this chapter)
