Dominate the Treacherous Realm

Chapter 1576 The first thousand five hundred and fifty one Chapter Cold Spring Palace Dinner

　　 At the end of last fall, after receiving the Ritter Award and the title, Jenkins visited Cold Spring Palace once. Miss Windsor also appeared at the table that time, but this time it was only the elderly Queen and Jenkins.

　　 She looks weak, but she is actually very weak. The skin on his face was drooping as if he was about to detach from the skull. Although he didn't need servants to help him when he walked, he stopped after a few steps, which was very worrying.

　　 People like to call her Your Majesty, but the official documents call her "Queen Isabella". She has reigned for more than 50 years, and is the longest reigning king after the collapse of the ancient Xicali Empire.

　　 She sat at one end of the long table covered with white cloth, and Jenkins sat on her left. The old man seemed very happy that Jenkins was able to come. The first topic was to ask him whether the journey back from Luen was smooth, and then he talked to him about the recent weather and the accident he and his friends encountered in the city hall in the afternoon.

　　 Until half an hour later, the two people are considered to be on the subject. The old man's slow but still very elegant napkin wiped the corners of his mouth and put down the knife and fork in his hand. Jenkins realized that they were finally going to talk business, so he put down the cup in his hand:

"I met your father the day before yesterday, no, not here, but outside of Cold Spring Palace. He is a very interesting person, he is very funny, and he sees things thoroughly. We didn't talk about many things, and we talked about it. About your family. Jenkins, I think you should already know that your great-grandfather is the illegitimate son of the royal family.

　　 Regarding the wonderful love story of that generation, we won't talk about it here. Let them pass the past. But I think I should be grateful to the predecessors, otherwise I would not have so many options now. "

　　 She speaks very slowly, and Jenkins listens very carefully. Although he knows all these things, but he really heard it from Queen Isabella, it made Jenkins sigh for the impermanence of fate.

"I personally don't want that foreigner from Chessland to take over the crown from me. Even without the current war, I still don't want to. That southerner is not qualified. As for the other heirs, and the royal family The blood relationship is a bit too far away. If you hand over the crown to them, it would be equivalent to letting the glorious Middleton family completely die in my hands. So I am very happy that your family can appear, which gives me another option. Jenkins, Please allow me to call you this way, do you know why I invited you to meet in the cold spring palace in the first place?"

　　 she asked.

　　 "Because we have seen it once, so we are more familiar?"

　　 Jenkins deliberately gave a wrong answer.

"No, that's because in the eyes of others, you are the most suitable person. There is more than one person following our conversation. As the beginning of this farce, I hope to let people know that I will not make an order. Everyone was surprised."

　　 The old man chuckled kindly:

　　 "They are all worried that I am old and confused, and will not think about it for a while, and handed the crown to Little Windsor. That is an excellent girl, very good, talent, talent and background are quite good, but a pity..."

　　 Jenkins couldn't answer this sentence, so he looked at her and didn't speak.

"It's a long way to say this. Jenkins, although the domestic factional conflicts are not sharp, the crown above my head is not easy to give. I still need to deal with some things to convince everyone of my election. Heir, this is more troublesome than imagined, but everything is under control.

　　 Inviting you to come today, I actually have a certain degree of selfishness. Jenkins, I really want to know, what do you think of the position of the king? "

"Responsibilities and obligations."

　　 "Don't you see the right?"

　　 "Oh, yes, there are rights."

　　 he added.

　　 Her Majesty the Queen nodded slightly:

"Young people don’t have any pressure, I am very optimistic about you, you are a person who can do great things. Jenkins, I hope you can be prepared, now I can’t give you specific promises, but you are more likely than others It's all big."

　　 She wanted to pat Jenkins on the shoulder, but the gesture of reaching out made her cough. Jenkins took the initiative to get up and quickly got up to help her pat her back smoothly. The old man motioned to Jenkins to sit down:

"Don't look at me like this, I can actually last a long time. Yes, there is one more thing. You should have been promoted to Viscount a long time ago, but so many things have happened this year. We always I can’t find much free time. Will you have time tomorrow? I will hold a banquet at Cold Spring Palace. There was a banquet originally. For the victory of the Battle of the Broken Isles, I will honor the young people in the navy. I know young Everyone likes banquets. I want to grant you the title of Viscount at the banquet and solve the two things together. Oh, I think you may need a small piece of land so that you can have an extra prefix before the name."

　　 "I have time tomorrow."

　　 Jenkins replied, and then asked:

　　 "Will my family be at the banquet tomorrow?"

　　 "Yes, since you are knighted, your family happens to be in Berduran, of course you have to invite them. Of course, there will be more people attending the banquet. You are very smart, can you understand what I mean?"

　　 Jenkins understands that this will be the first time for the Williams family to appear on a formal social occasion, which means the official start of Wang Xuan.

　　 "I will prepare well."

　　 "You can bring your friends, because tomorrow's banquet will be to celebrate the complete victory in the Battle of the Broken Isles, so both Marquis Mikhail and Earl Hesha will attend."

　　 Jenkins frowned when he heard this, he thought that these two were recuperating in Nolan now, ready to go to the front again at any time.

"I understand."

　　 He maintained an attitude of being cautious, seeing Jenkins's caution, and the old man didn't say any more. The conversation that took place at the dinner party ended in this way.

After 　　, Jenkins took out the two-thirds of the seed of the World Tree. He originally thought this was a token of the illegitimate king who made the illegitimate son a hundred years ago and left it to the illegitimate son to recognize his ancestors. But Her Majesty didn't know what it was. Even if Jenkins explained that it was a family heirloom left by her ancestors, she would not recognize that it once belonged to the Middleton family.

　　 Jenkins was disappointed by this, he originally wanted to learn more about the secrets of the elves based on this thing.

When 　　 left from Cold Spring Palace, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. After dinner, Jenkins was invited to visit the back garden of Cold Spring Palace and listened to Her Majesty the Queen telling the story of the ancient kings and the palace. This took some time, because it was too late, so the old man originally wanted the carriage to send Jenkins back, and asked whether Jenkins is now living in his own house or in the church.

　　 Many things happened tonight, Jenkins wanted to calm down alone. So he declined the carriage to see him off, feeling the warmer night breeze at the end of the spring, and walking with his cat on the empty streets of Berdylan.

　　 He considered a lot of things and also thought of his future. The matter of the throne has reached the final juncture. At this time, he has not made up his mind and will cause a lot of trouble. Jenkins asked himself in his heart if he had a desire for the crown, and then immediately got an answer that he didn't have.

　　 But then I asked myself if he deserved the crown. Reason tells Jenkins that he should get the crown, and then use this to calm the war between the three kingdoms and prepare for the final moment that will come.

　　 "It's really a headache."

　　 said, clutching his forehead, standing under the street light at the crossroads, watching the carriage hurriedly passing by in the distance. For tonight’s dinner, probably only the chocolate on the shoulder is very enjoyable. I don’t know where I learned about this cat’s recipe. The chefs at Cold Spring Palace provided a lot of chocolate favorite foods, so it’s rare for cats to talk to others when Jenkins didn’t. Try to use any means to attract Jenkins' attention.

　　 "It seems that I forgot to ask the Chesland envoy just now. It's really bad."

　　 He muttered quietly, standing at the intersection thinking where he should go next. He lived in the church last night because of his “injury”, but today he has obtained permission to go out, so he can now either return to his house, go to the church, or even go to the girls’ accommodation if he is not worried about being seen Rosalia Inn.

　　 The three roads under the street lights lead to different directions, which is obviously just a very common choice, but Jenkins feels that if you choose the wrong one, you will have big problems.

　　 "Where do you want to live tonight?"

　　 He asked the cat on his shoulder softly, but the cat did not answer Jenkins, squinting his eyes as if he was still remembering the great dinner just now.

　　 "So..."

　　 He finally chose to return to his house. Now his identity is very sensitive. In order not to cause unexpected troubles, it is best not to stay in the church during this time, otherwise it will make others think that he is expressing his opinion. Before leaving tonight, I just handed a note to my father, and did not go to the church to inform the dinner party. It was also out of this consideration.

　　 The night fog envelops the city. This is not caused by polluted gas, but a weather phenomenon formed by tiny water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air near the ground at night. This is a unique scenery at the end of spring and early summer, which just makes people who travel at night feel a little troublesome.

　　 Before I walked far, I heard the sound of a carriage twirling over the stone road and horse bells coming from behind. This sound blended into this quiet night very harmoniously. I wanted to avoid it sideways, but the carriage stopped beside Jenkins. He turned his head to look at the car window and, as expected, saw Miss Windsor's face.

　　 Needless to say, I know that this is definitely not a chance encounter. Jenkins met her as soon as she left Cold Spring Palace, and Miss Windsor was always paying close attention to it when she wanted to come.

　　 "Jenkins, where are you going so late? Do you need me to see you off?"

　　 Miss Windsor poked her head out of the window and asked. The lights in the carriage made her shadow almost cover Jenkins, which also gave the girl a hazy beauty.

　　 "Oh, thank you for your invitation. I originally wanted to walk by myself and enjoy the night view of Berdylan, but it's foggy now. It's okay, but will you drop in? I'm going back to the house in the city now."

　　 he asked.

　　 "No matter where you go, I will drop in. Come up."

　　 As he asked the coachman to help open the door of the car, Jenkins nodded and took the cat into the car.

　　Miss Windsor was wearing a hunting suit. The outermost muddy yellow coat was only buttoned with a hole in the middle, revealing the gray sweater inside. The bottom of the body is slim pants, and then black strappy high boots, making her look very long and tall even when she is sitting. This is a rare dress for women. Girls in this era still wear skirts, and they don't know what she was doing just now.

　　 Some people think that clothes such as hunting suits can only be worn by men, and women can't show the characteristics of such clothes. But in Jenkins's opinion, a brave beauty like Miss Windsor looks even more beautiful in hunting outfits. Under the warm yellow gas lamp, she looked very charming. Jenkins sat down and smiled at her, then lowered his head and put the cat on his lap.

　　 The usual conversation is to greet her for a while. When Miss Windsor was speaking, she leaned on the carriage and looked out the window with her chin, which made her look a little melancholy.

　　 "I just came out of Cold Spring Palace, and the dinner tonight is very rich."

　　 Jenkins took the initiative to bring up the topic.

　　 "Does your majesty look good?"

　　 "Fortunately, when I talked to me, I was very angry. After eating, I took me to the back garden. Miss Windsor, haven't you visited your Majesty recently?"

　　 "No, I have been busy with my own affairs for the past half month."

"Maybe you can go to the banquet tomorrow. In order to celebrate the complete victory of the Battle of the Broken Isles, Your Majesty will entertain the generals of the Navy and some nobles and officials. I think you should have received the news. This should be the most lively one of this month. Let’s have a banquet. After all, from my impression of coming to Beldiran, the city does not seem to be peaceful."

　　 "Jenkins, can I understand that you are inviting me to be your female companion."

　　 This sentence was very abrupt. Jenkins didn't know how she got this conclusion, but the lady who moved her gaze from the window to Jenkins, her eyes were full of thoughts that Jenkins couldn't see through.

"I mean......"

　　 He wanted to deny it, so as not to add more waves to his love life, but Miss Windsor directly stretched out a finger and put it in front of Jenkins’ mouth. This action was very unusual:

　　 "Don't refuse me, okay?"

　　 The cat on his knees lay lazily, squinting one eye and looking at the woman with the other.

　　 She looked particularly sad, and for the first time showed such weakness in front of Jenkins. Jenkins looked at her and thought of countless possibilities:

　　 "I have my own female companion, and there is more than one."

　　 He said very calmly, his tone was no longer polite.

　　 "Do you think I am using you?"

　　 The woman retracted her hand tiredly and leaned on the carriage again:

　　 "Jenkins, I..."

　　 Jenkins stretched out his hand to cover Miss Windsor's mouth, ignoring the woman's struggle, pulled the woman to his side very hard, and then squinted his eyes to look forward. Although there is a carriage board, he can see through this barrier and see the light spot representing the gifter outside:

　　 "Damn, who came to stop me so late?"

　　 He secretly said in his heart, and at the same time signaled the struggling woman to stop moving. At the same time, the carriage slowed down slowly, and obviously the coachman also noticed a person standing in front of the road.

　　 "Who are you? Sir, please don't stand in the middle of the road"

　　 Both people in the carriage heard the coachman's dull voice.

　　 "You don't need to know who I am, I will take away the people in the carriage now."

　　 The two people in the car listened sideways and did not say anything, so they could clearly hear the conversation outside. Jenkins released the hand that was covering Miss Windsor's mouth, and then touched the gun at his waist. At the same time, he also saw the knight's sword in the carriage. The last time he met Miss Windsor, it was placed in almost the same position. It seemed that Miss Windsor liked this weapon very much.

　　 "Miss will not go with strangers."

　　 said the coachman, and at the same time Jenkins' ears caught the faint footsteps coming from the back of the carriage. Judging from the characteristics of the footsteps, it should be an ordinary person, so Jenkins guessed that it was Miss Windsor's guard hiding in the dark.

　　 As for Jenkins himself is not guarded, the church knows that he wants to hate being followed.

　　 "That can't be done by you."

　　 The stranger blocking the road sneered, and then gunshots rang around the carriage. But within half a minute, the sporadic gunshots disappeared. The two in the carriage were silent. Both Jenkins and the cat knew that a group of well-trained ordinary people, even with enough firearms in their hands, would definitely not be able to defeat one. A well-prepared level 4 gifter.

　　 He raised his hand to signal Miss Windsor not to speak, and changed the hand holding the gun to his left hand. Then he pulled the sword out of the scabbard from the carriage and held it with his right hand, bending over and out of the carriage.

　　 The silent night was silent. Under the moonlight and yellowish street lamps, dozens of bodies were scattered on the empty streets. The shadow of the man standing under the gas street lamp swayed like a ghost. The weather was already very hot, and some mosquitoes gathered and danced under the lamp, making the already dim light flicker uninterruptedly.

　　 It was a round-faced man wearing a gray peaked cap, with a gold-finished cane in his left hand, and a shiny black pistol with a smoking muzzle in his right. Seeing Jenkins appeared, he grinned at him, turned the muzzle and put it to his mouth and blew:

　　 "I didn't expect that there was a man in Miss Windsor's private carriage. This is really big news. Jessica Windsor, are you still coming out?"

　　 "It turned out that it didn't come to me."

　　 Jenkins secretly said in his heart, and at the same time, hearing a voice behind her, Miss Windsor also got out of the carriage.

"who are you?"

　　 Her tone is still very stable, this is a strong woman.

　　 "I said, it doesn't matter who I am. Please follow me now, otherwise I don't mind leaving with your body."

　　嘭~

　　 Gunshots came from behind, Miss Windsor raised her hand and pulled the trigger. The warhead swept across Jenkins's side, focusing very precisely on the man's left chest. But there was no scene where a blood flower exploded in the chest. The bullet impact only stirred up a few sparks and fell to the ground.

Chapter 1578 Chapter 1553

　　 The bullet that fell on the stone road did not make a loud noise, but it had cut through the quiet night. Jenkins saw that the warhead had collapsed, and the powerful collision force deformed it.

　　 "To make a statement first, I did not put a steel plate on my chest, so I think you should know that I am a gifter."

　　 The man facing the bullet said to Miss Windsor, and then Jenkins felt the woman behind him press his hand on his shoulder.

"Of course, I also know that great aristocrats like you always carry some weird things on them to prevent being murdered by extraordinary powers. But unfortunately, I will not use spells on you, because I am not good at it. In this way, what I am good at is power, so put away the charms in your pocket, it is useless."

　　 Jenkins felt the hand on his shoulder trembling, Miss Windsor's details have been found out by the other party, and the other party came prepared.

　　 "I'll go with you, don't hurt this person."

　　 After a little hesitation, the woman's voice did not tremble, but was more calm. She was covering up her inner feelings.

　　 "This won't work, I don't need eyewitnesses."
