Dominate the Treacherous Realm

"Don't try to procrastinate, Jenkins. Didn't I know that the girls from the Mihail family and the Hesha family have moved to your house long ago? Would the two navy generals allow their daughters to be your mistresses? ? You have already figured out what to do, am I right? Don't use Stuart to prevaricate me, it doesn't make sense."

　　 She really seemed to be able to see through Jenkins' thoughts. Jenkins suspected that this was a special item that the other party had not found in the church, but in fact knew that it was the intuition of an old man who had lived too long.

　　 "I can't give you any answer right now, and I don't want to negotiate with you who did that kind of thing."

　　 He pretended to be calm and said, but feeling the touch of varying degrees, the cat knew that Jenkins was not calm.

"Because you think I'm despicable, and agreeing to my terms is equivalent to compromising with a despicable person. Your self-esteem can't accept this kind of thing... Oh, Jenkins, it's this time. Are you going to play a kid's temper?"

　　 She said this sentence with a smile, and then suddenly closed the book in her hand with a snap, and put it on the sofa cushion beside her.

Chapter 1759 Chapter 1731 The So-called Legacy

　　 The old man laughed at Jenkins' naivety, and the book was placed securely in the gap between her and the sofa. Seeing what Jenkins wanted to say, he said:

"Don’t worry, you can discuss this with your friends and even Jessica. You can come to me at any time and give me your answer whenever you think it’s appropriate. Of course, if you really want Sitting on the throne by myself, fighting with me to make a mess of the country, and then taking over the inheritance of the Middleton family with integrity, I have no objection."

"I......"

　　 bang bang bang~

　　 An unexpected knock on the door interrupted the two of them. Jenkins closed his mouth and looked down at his cat. Queen Isabella picked up the book again, and then heard the maid outside the door say:

　　 "Your Majesty, Miss Windsor wants to see you, and she still takes her friends."

　　 From the voice, this is the maid who left after pouring tea for the two just now.

　　 "How did Jessica get in?"

　　 The old man muttered, then let the people outside the door come in. Then Jenkins and Isabella understood why Miss Windsor was allowed to enter the church in this situation, because the friend behind her was actually Jenkins’ distant cousin Sigrid.

　　 The two ladies didn't expect Jenkins to be here, and their arrival seemed to interrupt their conversation.

　　 Jenkins picked up the chocolate and stood up and greeted the two ladies. They both nodded at Jenkins cautiously, and did not show too much affection to Jenkins in front of Queen Isabella.

　　 "Come and sit down."

Queen Isabella did not seem to have any plans to continue discussing that topic with Jenkins. She greeted Miss Windsor and Sigrid to sit down. In a group of sofas here, the old man was sitting on the Changsha in the middle, with two seats on the right. personal.

　　 Miss Windsor hesitated and looked at Jenkins. Sigrid had no plan to sit next to her, after all, the distant cousin of Jenkins already knew the unsuccessful plan.

　　 Seeing no one moved, the atmosphere in the study was a bit embarrassing. Jenkins coughed and left the single sofa, then said to the maid outside the door:

　　 "Find someone to bring two chairs, a softer seat."

　　 Although Jenkins is not the master here, his words are also valid. Soon, two male servants came in from the door with a red cushioned chair, put down the chair according to Jenkins's request, and then closed the door and left.

　　 So Jenkins sat in the middle chair, Miss Windsor sat on the small sofa on his left, and Sigrid sat in the chair on his right.

　　 "So, what can I do if you come to see me?"

　　 Until then the old man continued to ask, she continued to hold the book, but this time she was not really looking at it, just acting as a decoration in her hand.

　　 Sigrid did not speak, his expression was a little sad. Miss Windsor sighed and looked at Jenkins, as if this gave her the courage to speak. It turned out that Jenkins was also looking at her, so somehow, he boldly said what he had prepared for some rudeness:

"I told Sigrid about what happened yesterday. She wanted to come and see you, so I brought her over. Actually, I shouldn’t have an opinion on this, but this time... this time The thing is too much, Your Majesty, you are not doing the right thing."

　　Queen Isabella looked at her but did not speak, then looked at Sigrid Capet, the girl with a sad expression said:

　　 "I think this is probably the last time I have come to see you. I thought I really found a relative..."

　　 Jenkins suddenly took her hand, indicating that the Williams family are her real relatives. Encouraged by his actions, Sigrid raised his head bravely and looked at the old man in front of him:

"Sorry, I don't think I care if I am related to the royal family. Actually, this reputation is a burden for me. If you want to murder me, someone will naturally seek justice for me, but from now on , Please don’t invite me to participate in any public events, and please don’t treat me as your descendant relative in public."

　　 She did not say not to treat her as a member of the Middleton family. After all, she still regards the Williams family as relatives, so not everything must be clear.

　　 "Okay, I know."

　　 said the queen, lowering her eyes and looking at the book in her hand, but she was obviously absent-minded. Although she wouldn't take the book down, Jenkins noticed that she hadn't opened a new page for a long time.

　　 "As an apology, I will put in my will..."

　　 "Sorry, I don't want anything."

　　 Sigrid said, this sentence made Jenkins admire greatly. If it was he, he would definitely want it, even if it was all donated later to fund the orphanage.

　　 "If you don't want it, then leave it to Jessica, I think..."

　　 "Sorry, Your Majesty, I won't want your things either."

　　 Miss Windsor’s eye circles are already a little red. I don’t know if it’s because of the other person’s attitude or because she mentioned her death.

　　 The old man did not continue to say that she would leave her fortune to Jenkins. She sighed and put the really unreadable book on the table. After looking at the three of them, she asked:

　　 "Jenkins, how are you talking to the Royal Army recently?"

　　 is another unexpected question, but Jenkins really can't answer this question. He hasn't had time to pay attention to such trivial matters recently, which has been handled by Miss Windsor.

"As long as you have patience, the old stubbornness of the army is easy to persuade, but those young and energetic officers will not be inclined to you because of their blood. They care about honor, money and power. Now young people, It was much more realistic than when I was young. At that time, just shouting "for the motherland" and "justice" for a few times, I can always get a few stunned people."

　　 This sentence seems to contain irony that Jenkins can't understand, but unfortunately Jenkins can't hear it. Of course, the above words should not have been told to them by Queen Isabella, after all, the two sides can be regarded as opposites.

"Jenkins, you can't let Jessica do everything, otherwise, is this your king or she? I heard that after she swore to help you, you can only meet important people. , Basically don’t intervene in anything, not even as much as the princess of the Stuart family. This is not okay."

　　 "Jenkins wants to be a king, not a bureaucrat who does his own work. It is normal for him to arrange for people he trusts to handle those cumbersome things."

　　 Miss Windsor said immediately.

　　 "Do you really think so?"

　　 asked the old man.

"Yes it is."

　　 Miss Windsor raised her neck and said proudly, having to admit that her neck is really beautiful.

Chapter 1760 Chapter 1732 Cat Seal

　　 The conversation in the study continued, and the chocolate tail unconsciously struck Jenkins on the back of his hand. Queen Isabella questioned Miss Windsor's view that "Jenkins is the king, not a bureaucracy":

　　 "Then is this answer based on your sensibility or rationality?"

　　 "Of course it is rational."

　　 Miss Windsor gave the answer naturally.

　　 "This is a lie...huh?"

　　 Jenkins thought to himself, and then realized what it meant. He tensed his face, feeling a little at a loss before realizing that he was still holding Sigrid's hand. The latter also held his hand tightly, giving Jenkins no chance to withdraw his hand at all.

"Since you think it's rational, then go ahead. Jessica, although you are not considered to have been growing up by my side, but I know you better than you think, but sometimes...not You must pay and you will gain."

　　 Jenkins believed he understood this sentence, and he also noticed that everyone seemed to be watching his expression. He had no experience in this situation and didn't know what he should do, so he took the initiative to speak:

　　 "You don't need to worry about this matter, and your current position is not qualified to tell us this."

　　 He didn't understand the other party had done bad things and affected the lives of innocent people, but he was still able to calm down what he thought of giving them "guidance" as an elder. He didn't understand that Queen Isabella didn't feel even the slightest guilt for the three people in front of him. In Jenkins' view, this kind of guilt was something normal people would have.

　　 "That's it for today. Although the church will definitely not let you die, please remember that seven innocent people died because of you, and Sigrid almost lost his life because of you."

　　I looked at Queen Isabella's eyes when saying this, but the old man still had a calm face, because there was not even a trace of mood swings in his old and muddy eyes.

　　 aware of the meaning of saying goodbye in Jenkins’ words, Miss Windsor and Sigrid also stood up and prepared to leave with Jenkins, but he hadn’t picked up the cat on the back of the chair, and the old man spoke again:

　　 "Almost forgot...Jenkins, happy birthday to you."

　　 An anger suddenly surged into my heart, but Jenkins couldn't tell the reason for this emotion. He can only nod his head to indicate that he heard it, but he did not expect that the other party took out a slender wooden box from the coffee table.

　　 The blood-red wooden box is exquisite in materials and exquisite craftsmanship. Jenkins can see brass-colored metal live buckles from the eight long sides. At the same time, on the upward side of the wooden box, a craftsman with excellent craftsmanship specially carved a beautiful kitten look like a chocolate, which looks a bit similar to chocolate.

　　 The wooden box was tied with colorful ribbons, and I knew it was intended to be given as a gift. Considering that the two ladies were unwilling to accept the inheritance that the old man intended to give, Jenkins believed that he could not lose face, so he did not reach out to accept it at this moment. Unexpectedly, Miss Windsor gave him a slight push, and at the same time Sigrid squeezed his hand hard, seeming to imply that he should not stand still.

　　 Jenkins's mouth trembles, knowing that no matter how dissatisfied in his heart, there are still things to accept. The other party is the queen of this country, loved by the people, and has been in charge of Fedictelli for nearly fifty years. The next important transfer of rights will have a lot to do with the other party. Even if he is a holy son and has the support of the church, if he really wants complete peace and take over power without any chaos, it is not enough to rely on the coercion of the church and his strength.

　　 The church and him can suppress a country by force, but what's the point? Especially since Jenkins just heard of a very interesting deal.

　　 And even if she tells Queen Elizabeth all her identity now, the so-called showdown is not enough to intimidate the other party, because this world is not a theocracy. At this moment, Jenkins suddenly thought that there was nothing wrong with the supremacy of theocracy, and then realized that it was only because he was standing at this angle now, and the current magical system of theocracy and kingship living in peace was the best choice at present.

　　 "So, I want this next gift, which means that although I am angry with her, I don't want to tear my face completely."

　　 He thought in his heart, and took the box over, but didn't thank him.

　　 The three turned around and prepared to leave, but at this time they heard Queen Isabella calling Sigrid Capet's name.

"I am really sorry."

　　 The old man said again, Jenkins suspected that he heard a cold snort from the girl next to him, and no one paid any attention to the words, and left the study together.

　　 According to the information Jenkins received, the church does not intend to deal with the matter of Queen Isabella's contact and cooperation with the tree house. Tomorrow, that is, the first day of July, she can return to participate in the Three Kings meeting again.

　　 This is quite unfair. If an ordinary person with no power cooperated with an illegal organization and murdered seven innocent people, then his fate would never be so simple.

　　 But Queen Isabella is right, the world is always unfair. Even though most people think that Queen Isabella's punishment does not match the crime she committed, but she did not get what she deserved.

　　 At least many people have remembered this incident, which may make some changes in the future.

　　 When they left the house, the three of them were in a bad mood. It was 3:30 in the afternoon. Jenkins can be regarded as solving the main thing of the day, except to pick up Alexia and Dolores in the evening, there is nothing else.

　　 Seeing that the companions were not very happy, he took the initiative to invite them to take a stroll in the city. But Jenkins overestimated his skills in choosing entertainment activities. After Miss Windsor and Sigrid agreed, he didn't know where to go.

　　 happened to be going to book tickets for the family to go to the theater at night, so I asked them to go to the theater with a carriage. Tickets for the evening were bought, but today the theater is closed during the day.

　　 So he frowned again and thought of being invited by Hathaway to the concert, but that club must have membership in order to enter, and he himself cannot invite others in alone.

　　 "I have a familiar club in Nolan. Why don't you go take a seat. It's hot now and there is no need to be outside."

　　 Miss Windsor offered to offer it. Jenkins glanced at Sigrid, and she agreed without objecting.

　　Before getting acquainted with Jenkins, Miss Windsor's active area of ​​activity was Bel Dylan, after all, that was the power and political center of the Kingdom of Fidcicle. As for Nolan, she only comes here occasionally, so the clubs she calls "familiar" are actually clubs under her own name.

　　 The club whose name has the meaning of "golden rose" was opened by Miss Windsor herself and used to provide Nolan's aristocratic ladies as a gathering and meeting place. Compared to the ladies' clubs that Jenkins has visited with Hathaway and Britney many times, Miss Windsor's club is more like a high-end social place than a relaxing entertainment place.

　　 took Jenkins and Sigrid into the room prepared for him. The entire wall directly opposite the door was a complete glass curtain wall. Jenkins had never imagined that he would be able to see this architectural style in this era.

The interior decoration of 　　 is also simple, the walls are painted in a gentle warm yellow, and then simple landscape oil paintings are hung for decoration. On the left side of the room is a solid wood desk with a semicircular ring, which is larger than a single bed. On the desk are neatly arranged books, ink bottles, pen holders and other stationery.

　　 The doorway is covered with red mats, followed by expensive knitted carpets. On the right side of the room is a set of sofas and a matching coffee table. Looking up, there is a crystal chandelier, and a brass-colored gas lamp is fixed on the upper part of the wall.

　　 "You don't seem to be surprised by this."

　　 Seeing Jenkins glanced calmly at the glass curtain wall, he turned to look at the oil paintings with interest, Miss Windsor asked.

　　 "Surprised? Oh, yes, surprised, this is the first time I saw this kind of wall...but it's the street outside, and here is only three floors, don't you worry about being seen from outside?"

　　 If it is not an extraordinary power, there is no real practical single-sided glass in this era.

　　 "Usually, the curtains are drawn here. It felt good when I spent money, but the problem was discovered only after it was built."

　　 Miss Windsor frowned slightly, and then asked the servants outside the door to come in, closed the curtains, and told them not to disturb the three of them.

　　 After closing the curtains, the room was darkened immediately. Because the curtains are yellow printed fabric products, the sunlight that finally penetrated the fog into the urban area became even more dim.

　　 The three people are sitting on the sofa. The gas lamp on the wall has been turned on, so the light is not bad. Jenkins opened the gift box in front of them. Inside was a very delicate seal. The main body of the seal was a squatting kitten. Under the base was the style of the family crest that Jenkins got when he got the Viscount. .

　　 Of course, this seal is an ordinary item and has no extraordinary power, but it is made of pure silver. It is completely integrated, without any traces of connections or welding, just as a work of art, which is also invaluable.

　　 "You don't seem to have a personal seal yet, do you?"

　　 Sigrid asked, and Jenkins immediately understood and stuffed the seal back into the box:

　　 "I won't use this as a seal, and I don't have a place to use the seal. I think it's more formal to autograph it."

　　 This action obviously won the approval of the two ladies.

　　PS: There is a post expressing dissatisfaction with Jenkins's "compromise" with Queen Isabella. But all he wants is the peaceful transfer of power and the real gain of power by himself. Although he is very strong, is he going to use the power of the Son to kill the entire city to force the opponent to abdicate? With power, can you use it fearlessly and without awe? Or, as the plot said, completely tore their faces, the two sides made the world turbulent before the end of the epoch for the throne, and the national civil strife used war to complete the transfer of power?

　　 is not to compromise, but to choose the best path from the facts.

　　With the support of the church and Hampavo, he can pay the price to get the throne and ignore the queen. But it is impossible to achieve the realization of peace to win the throne in a short period of time. Where there will be bloodless changes, especially the other party is really loved by the people.

　　 It’s just that I don’t want the world to be unrest again, I don’t want the innocent to sacrifice, and I don’t want to lose more power before the final battle at the end of the era.

　　 As for the end of the epoch, first of all, ordinary people cannot bear the things that involve the secrets of the world under this worldview. Even if it can be said, if telling the truth can make others obey, it would be better to print the newspaper and tell the world the end of the era to the world. What is the purpose of trying to make the Three Kings Talk and the Joint Conference of the Twelve Churches proceed

　　 At this stage, Jenkins has not suffered any losses except for being slightly undervalued by the Queen and his cousin being verbally conspired. Is this kind of plot unacceptable?

　　 Could anyone look forward to it, Jenkins grinned, and everyone shouted for the return of the son.

　　 In the end, the queen will definitely know that she has made the wrong decision.
