Pirate Kingship

"Secret keeper?"

[Puppet King], as the top ruler of the Kingdom of Castile, certainly does not need the sailing collector to explain to him what the [Key to the Treasure Ship] is.

He has been a secret keeper for the title's special effects before, and he knows the risks better than anyone else.

Although the Kingdom of Castile is strong, it is not undoubtedly strong, and it is not possible for it to crush all the pursuers behind it alone.

The key is that they firmly support the saints of the traditional school of the church.

Not only are their beliefs very pious and support a large amount of mind and will, but in addition to gold and silver, they also pay tribute to the church with countless overseas specialties, forming a solid community of interests in decades.

Otherwise, the "right to protect the church" with the sword and the cross would never fall into their hands.

One of the most important support points of the interest alliance is the various treasures brought back by the treasure fleet.

Many forces are very happy to create a deep rift between Castile and the church while harvesting a large amount of treasure.

Even if it is a feud, they can temporarily unite for this goal.

Therefore, even though there have been only a few successful attacks over the past few decades, attacks on the secret keepers are inevitable every year.

Although most of them are desperate criminals who don't even know who their employers are, the forces hiding behind the scenes are still happy to do this, just in case one of them succeeds?

It is not difficult to lock the target at all. The three secret keepers carry the presence of the entire fleet, which is more dazzling than the bonfire in the night sky.

At this moment, [Puppet King] Louis just raised his eyebrows slightly, and did not directly answer [Sailboat Collector] whether to do it or not, but asked the other party a question:

"Tell me, what is the one thing that Your Majesty must get in the cargo shipped from Havana this time?

It shouldn't be a dead thing, right?"

Louis is the younger brother of the current King of Castile, [Incompetent] Enrique IV, and no one knows his brother better than him.

If it was simply for gold, silver, spices or other precious goods, he would never ask in person, and specifically ask himself, a fifth-level legend, to be the keeper.

Even if he took a step back, he could have used the Lighthouse Union or the recently famous Financial Street to use their small-item delivery service.

Since it was so serious, it was probably about a very important living person who was not convenient to transport in a special way!

"This"

[Sailboat Collector] never expected that he would reveal everything with just one sentence.

But thinking about the position of this prince in the eyes of Henry IV, even if the confidentiality level of this operation was top secret, he would know it sooner or later, so why should he be the villain?

He looked at the many beauties surrounding him in the communication projection.

The latter waved his hand, and everyone retreated tactfully.

The sailing collector lowered his voice and said:

"Your Highness, it is said that the officers of the Guards of His Majesty [The King's Left Hand] captured a female totem god in the southern continent with the Breaking Stone.

That is not only a fourth-level mythical creature, but also has the power of reproduction!

The Guards have now cut off all contact with the outside world and used the strongest anti-divination holy relics to enter a silent state.

In order to keep it secret, they will not contact anyone throughout the process, and will even sneak onto a cargo ship of the Treasure Fleet until they see His Majesty with their own eyes. The mission will not end until they see His Majesty in person.

The keepers selected by His Majesty are himself, me, and you. The three fifth-level ones can ensure that the action is foolproof."

Hearing this, [Puppet King]'s eyes suddenly flashed, and his body subconsciously sat up a little straighter. Obviously, this news was also unusual for him.

"The power of reproduction? It's this!

Our Majesty finally couldn't help but ask for help from forbidden knowledge?"

This time, Enrique IV went to great lengths, not for gold and silver, not for treasures, but just for a totem god.

Is it strange?

Others may find it strange, but Louis, the [Puppet King], doesn't think so at all.

Don't forget that the collective subconscious of the Kingdom of Castile gave Enrique IV the title of [Incompetent]!

The so-called incompetent is not the level of governing the country, but the one that is not good.

Enrique IV is now 47 years old. He has married four queens in total, but until now he has only one Princess Juana, which can be said to be a thin bloodline.

In the Silver Age 1440, he married his cousin Princess Blanca of Navarre when he was fifteen years old.

Until thirteen years later in the Silver Age 1453, he suddenly asked for a divorce from his cousin.

When a court lady examined the queen's body, she was shocked to find that Blanca, who had been married for 13 years, was still a virgin!

The Pope announced their divorce on the grounds that "black wizards had prevented Enrique from having sex".

Two years later, in 1455, Enrique IV married his second wife, Joanna.

After another six years of marriage, he finally gave birth to his only daughter, Princess Juana, in 1462 of the Silver Age, ten years ago.

The worries of all classes in the country about the king's childlessness for twenty years finally subsided a little.

The following year, another piece of good news came. Queen Joanna gave birth to twin boys. Having both sons and daughters is of course a great joy in life.

Everyone thought that it was the piety of His Majesty that moved the Creator and brought him such a wonderful blessing.

But just when the whole country was jubilant and thought that the country finally had a successor.

The loyal palace steward found out when comparing the king and queen's daily records that although the king and queen were together during that period, it was also a 40-day fasting day stipulated by the church.

For a conservative and devout believer like Enrique IV who always revered the church, it was absolutely impossible to have sex with his wife on such an important day.

There was no need for divination to determine that the queen had an affair with someone!

Even if Enrique IV gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger, and wanted to put on this hat himself to restore the dignity of the royal family, it would not work.

After the divorce, the political turmoil did not subside, but intensified.

Some nobles in the kingdom stood up and believed that since the pair of baby boys born by the queen later were fake, Princess Juana might not be the king's bloodline and was not qualified to inherit this world's most powerful country.

At this difficult moment, it was the [Puppet King] Louis who took the initiative to stand beside his brother Enrique IV, trying to maintain his authority, face, and his heir Princess Juana.

Louis also won the trust and reuse of Enrique IV.

The next ten years were spent remarrying, divorcing, and remarrying. Now at the age of 47, the [Incompetent] Enrique IV, who has experienced 32 years of marriage and four wives, has only Juana as his only child.

The king is no longer young at this time. Even in the pampered royal family, 47 years old is an age that is about to enter old age.

There is really not much time left for Enrique IV to prove that he is "capable" and give birth to one or more heirs.

In the past, he had not been forced to that point. As a devout believer, he had never considered borrowing the power of black magic. Now that he is old, he has to admit that he really can't do it.

At present, the saints and cardinals of the church are planning to become angels, and Edward IV of the Kingdom of Hattings wants to become an immortal king.

After Henry IV issued a secret order, many people naturally helped him find the appropriate forbidden knowledge and treasures.

And he was more eager than the Habsburgs.

[Puppet King] retracted his divergent thoughts and sneered in his heart:

"Edward IV of Hattings is still dreaming of immortality all day long.

But he didn't know that the church leaders had shared the information about the blood of immortality with me.

Even if Edward IV could really get the blood of immortality from the mythical era [Night Devil], he would definitely not be the first to drink it.

Just like a farmer who grows grain can never eat white bread made from his own wheat field.

White Rose York? Just a running dog."

When he looked up and saw the sailing collector who was still waiting for his answer, He did not hesitate any more and nodded decisively:

"Since it is the order of His Majesty, there is no problem.

For the continuation of the kingdom and for the future of my brother, I have no choice but to do it!

Only the three of us know about this matter, and from now on, we will limit the spread of it.

No one will rob the fleet when it comes overseas. When the treasure fleet returns from Havana Port at the end of October, you can just send me the information black box."

At this time, [Puppet King] Louis perfectly interpreted the image of a good brother who assists his brother in governing the country and follows his lead in everything.

After the communication ended, [Sailboat Collector] saluted again and disappeared in the crystal ball.

But as the other party disappeared, the sincerity and loyalty in Louis' eyes disappeared instantly.

A light footsteps suddenly sounded behind him.

In this place with strict rules, someone dared to break into the puppet king's room without being summoned, and the puppet king was also very strangely not angry.

A gust of fragrant wind came, and she snuggled into the puppet king's arms and gave him a sweet kiss.

If the [Sailboat Collector] was still here, he would definitely recognize at a glance that this was actually Queen Joana, the second wife of [Incompetent] Enrique IV!

The enchanting and noble former queen was about thirty years old, well-maintained, with a typical gourd-shaped figure with hips wider than shoulders, like a ripe peach, and sweet juice would flow out after a bite.

She was undoubtedly a stunner.

According to common sense.

Queen Joana, whose marriage broke down because of an affair, should not appear next to the [Puppet King], a prince who was loyal to his brother, no matter where she appeared.

And if it is not according to common sense.

A cat-like slightly hoarse voice sounded, as if acting like a spoiled child:

"Louis, you must not let Enrique get the indigenous totem god and give birth to his own child.

The throne belongs to our little Juana!"

Queen Joana's words were even more shocking.

Not only did she overhear the conversation between the two fifth-level legends, but she also revealed a shocking secret that was enough to cause a major political earthquake in Castile.

Princess Juana, the only heir to the most powerful sea power, is not the biological child of [Incompetent], but the daughter of the two of them.

Enrique IV would never have thought that the adulterer was actually his most trusted and loyal brother!

[Puppet King] Louis patted his former sister-in-law's shoulders and comforted her with a smile:

"Relax, I'll take care of everything!

Last time, we felt that only little Juana was not safe, and we wanted to help our brother give birth to two more sons to stabilize your position and ensure that the throne would eventually fall into our hands.

Unexpectedly, it backfired in the end.

But I will never allow the same accident to happen again this time. "

As if he remembered some bad memories, his eyes flashed coldly:

"17 years ago, it was clearly the two of us who first met and loved each other at the ball, but before the news was made public, you were forced to marry Enrique as queen.

How could your family be willing to refuse the marriage of the king of the first maritime power?

No one can understand our pain. Everything we are in is reasonable. This is all owed to us by Enrique IV.

But I am different ten years later. This time, nothing and no one can go against my will! "

[Puppet King]'s domineering and self-centered personality obviously has its roots.

How could he allow himself to always be weighed down by a [King] who stole his love and changed his happy life?

Even if that person is his own brother.

Moreover, if he wants to make everyone no longer qualified to disobey him, he is determined to win the throne of the most powerful maritime power.

The three children born to his first love and elder sister-in-law Joana are a crucial part of the plan.

If the details of the steps were to be unfolded, it would be enough to shoot 80 episodes of palace fighting drama, but now it has become a thing of the past.

Louis stretched out his arms and hugged Queen Joana's plump body, and he had made up his mind:

"I will immediately send my confidants to find the traces of those guards and find the female totem god in advance to get rid of her."

Joana was still a little worried and bit her red lips:

"Louis, what should we do if we can't find them? "

The Puppet King's eyes were even colder:

"If we really can't find the silent guards, then I, the keeper of the treasure fleet, will have to be a leaker."

At the same time, he added in his mind:

'Use bait to attract those with bad intentions, and then rob them and catch all the pirates who looted the treasures!

In the end, I put tens of millions of pounds of wealth belonging to the entire kingdom into my own pocket.

It can not only prevent Enrique from taking off the hat of "Incompetent", but also clear a large number of potential enemies for the kingdom that I will rule in the future, and let me eat my fill, which can be said to kill three birds with one stone.

The key now is how to find a suitable target for robbing in a short time.'

When he thought of this, a golden light suddenly appeared in his eyes outside the floor-to-ceiling porthole of the [Dream Castle].

"What is that? "

The puppet king looked down on everyone, but he had some impression of that ship.

It was the "little beauty" [Golden Deer] that Morton Gray, another keeper of secrets in this operation [sailboat collector], had been thinking about.

A complete plan gradually took shape in his mind, and the corners of his lips curled up a little:

"Now we have found the scapegoat for the last link after the news leaked.

Sailboat maniac Morton Gray, you should continue to escape.

The almighty creator is helping me!"

Thinking of this, a transparent silk thread flashed at his fingertips, and the other end quietly fell on the [Golden Deer].
