Please Sink In Happiness

"Hi, bro Vitaro."

Prince Louis did not need any disguise in front of Marshal Lianqing, let alone put on a sympathetic face of a saint.

At this moment, one of his hands has been dishonestly wrapped around the maid's buttocks.

And that maid named Lotte has always been regarded by Prince Louis as his right-hand man, and did a lot of things for Prince Louis when he was acting crazy and acting stupid. They trusted each other and had extraordinary feelings for each other.

So instead of showing a disgusted expression, she turned a blush on her pretty face.

But she did not dare to respond to the prince's pursuit, because she was only a commoner.

In her eyes, class status is unshakable.

Marshal Lianqing pouted, clearly meeting Prince Louis as a Marshal, but Prince Louis had no intention of removing his hand from the maid's hip, which made the Marshal sigh and say:

"Can't you keep putting on a serious face?"

"Serious? My dear Vitaro, being serious is so boring. The royal family members in the world are all the same with serious faces, as if their facial muscles are necrotic. It's exhausting to put on a face, and if I put on a serious face in front of my old friends, I'm going to kill myself."

Prince Louis was sitting on the bed playing with a pistol with exquisite workmanship. The upright appearance just now was gone, and now there is only a cynical debauchery. Thinking of his performance just now, Marshal Lianqing recalled a saying of the Dongzhou Empire.

Dazhong is like a traitor, and a big fake is like the truth.

Who would have thought that this young man, who was despised by everyone at first, played with everyone in the palm of his hand.

"However, having a bullet through the body is really painful."

"You really gave up."

"There is no way to do this. In order to remove the inherent impression, we have to use some special means. Duke Machiavelli heard that he is finished?"

"Yes, he is finished, he is now being held in the Bastille, the murderer of your biological parents, if you are merciful, you can put him to death, if you still hold grudges against him, you can put him forever Imprisoned in the Bastille."

"What do you think is scarier than rat torture?"

Prince Louis suddenly showed a sinister smile, and the fox-like smile made Marshal Lian Qing shudder.

He shook his head to show he did not know, and Prince Louis said:

"Of course it's insect torture. The way they wriggle is much more disgusting than mice. I plan to let Machiavelli be devoured by mealworms for a whole month."

"You are really a devil. Although Duke Machiavelli has completely fallen to the altar in this incident, he has done something good after all. Although it is for show, it is an indisputable fact that he has saved some villages from famine. , and the most important thing is that I'm worried that by imposing such a cruel punishment on him, the good reputation you have finally built up will be wasted..."

"Brother Vitaro, my mother used to be the light I looked up to, but one day my mother died and her organs were riddled with poison, I always remember my mother every night for the last month or so. I was woken up by the pain, and I could only watch her in pain, she seemed to be afraid that I was worried about her, and always said to me, 'Mom is all right, go to bed earlier, Louis', but I didn't sleep peacefully at night."

Prince Louis' eyes were bloodshot, but the corners of his mouth were still smiling like a spring breeze, and he continued:

"If your beloved wife Shia and daughter Ivy also died in this way, and you couldn't do anything, would you be merciful to their murderers? You would be suspicious of those who hurt your loved ones. Did the killer ask stupid questions like 'why did you do this'?"

"Feel sorry."

"You don't need to apologize to me, let all the hatred dissipate in the blood mist, I am not a villain who will be punished, some hatred can be forgiven in order to achieve the ultimate goal, but some hatred if you choose Forgiveness is the same as betraying one's own soul."

Prince Louis clutched the bullet holes in his body:

"Actually, I could completely overthrow Machiavelli without getting hurt, but I felt I had to take a bullet. This bullet was my punishment for not protecting my loved ones, but fortunately my mother died, Otherwise, I wouldn't be who I am today."

For a long time in the past, Prince Louis was a good boy in the eyes of the world. He was graceful, kind, and fraternal. It was not until the death of his mother that he became a prodigal son.

Be a good boy because a mother is watching you.

He wanted his mother to be proud of him, and her mother was indeed proud of herself.

But the mother closed her eyes, the mother died, so Prince Louis did not need to continue to play a good child.

"Mother, please don't die, if you die, I will definitely go to prostitutes, gamble money, take drugs, drink unconscious every day. You know, mother? The reason why I work so hard every day is because you always You are watching me, and now you don't even look at me, why do I need to work hard?"

Prince Louis' depraved remarks cannot save his mother's life.

Since then, the good boy has changed, becoming unmotivated and self-deprecating, and at the same time, the old King Louis XIII has been in poor health since then.

After chatting with Marshal Lian Qing about the Stigma Academy, the two separated.

In the early morning, Prince Louis walked alone in the courtyard of the palace where the Elba family lived for generations.

Although the revenge is empty, it is extremely beautiful, as if the whole state of mind has been sublimated.

The moonlight shone on Prince Louis's head, raised his head to look at the moon that radiated the light of night, like a mother's gentle gaze.

The dissolute prince suddenly showed an extremely rare tenderness, and he said softly:

"Mother, it turns out that you have been watching me all the time. Well, you can continue to watch me. I will definitely become the greatest king in the history of Shengluer Kingdom. Be proud of me, mother."

Chapter 251 The Nature of Prince Louis

The opening day of Stigma Academy is getting closer and closer. It is estimated that in about four to five days, the ships from Stigma Academy will arrive at Seine Port, an important northern port in the Kingdom of Shengluer.

At that time, more than 120 students from the Shengluer Kingdom and their family members will board this giant ship. Most of these students are from nobles, but there are also a small number of talented civilians. But no matter what. , it is already a great honor to be a student of Stigma Academy.

If Louis XIII hadn't died, then Prince Louis would have been a student at Stigma Academy.

But now, the death of the old king has caused Prince Louis, who should have been admitted, to lose his admission. In the rules and regulations of Stigma Academy, if there are very special circumstances, admission can be cancelled, and Prince Louis is this special case, because the country cannot No king for a day.

In the Invalides, the iris flag was fluttering, and Prince Louis stood in front of the crystal coffin and looked at the remains of the late king. Like his mother, he was poisoned by Machiavelli.

In fact, Prince Louis and his father are very similar in appearance. When he was very young, Prince Louis also longed for justice in the eyes of the world. At that time, his father was a great role model.

After the death of his mother, Prince Louis, in order to survive, came into contact with many books about conspiracy, and then gradually began to feel disgusted and contempt for his father's incompetence.

In the eyes of Prince Louis, the strength of a country lies not in the magnanimous heroes, but in the villains who intrigue.

So the king who was toyed with by the powerful ministers was not a qualified king, let his mother be poisoned to death, and he was not a good husband, he was too clean, so clean it was disgusting.

So later, Prince Louis no longer called him "Father" or "Father King", but simply called him "Old Man", hoping that he would die soon.

"Louis, I think you should shed a few tears, even if it's hypocritical."

Li Ergou persuaded Prince Louis in private.

For Li Ergou's suggestion, Prince Louis very much agrees. In the eyes of the world, if the new king is too cold-blooded, his prestige will definitely be lowered.

So Prince Louis prepared a special potion for tearing in advance, and planned to use the remains of his biological father in the end.

But when Prince Louis watched the coffin sink bit by bit into the pre-dug pit, he found that he didn't need tearjerker at all. He felt that this father, who he had always regarded as a clown, was not in his imagination. So unbearable.

In the past, his father beat him with a whip, nothing more than hoping that he would grow up and not continue to degenerate.

And now, the man who wanted Prince Louis to be more motivated has died disgracefully and has withdrawn from the stage of history forever.

Although Prince Louis is not a masochist, at this moment his heart still feels empty.

"It's over." Prince Louis looked at the Cardinal of the Kingdom of Shengluer and said, "Thank you for me, His Excellency the Pope, for presiding over the funeral of my father."

The bishop bowed slightly, then retired.

Louis XIII was buried, and his bones were forever buried in the Invalides for all to see.

One day, Prince Louis will be buried here. Death is not far away. In the eyes of Prince Louis, from birth to his age is almost just a blink of an eye, especially when he sees his relatives, it feels like a lifetime sometimes. of just the blink of an eye.

"I didn't expect you to show such an expression, Louis."

"Miss Ivy, it's really too much for you to say that. Even me, sometimes I have a sentimental side."

Prince Louis turned his face, the sad expression was swept away, and he looked at Ivy and her attendant Li Ergou with a smile on his face.

This girl, who was supposed to be her fiancee, has finally found the home she longed for.

"Is your diary real? Or is it just for outsiders?"

"What do you think?"

"I think that diary is just a tool you use to wash away the stains of your past."

"It's what you think it is. Anyway, Ivy, you have nothing to do with me now, and I have no obligation to answer any of your questions."

After speaking, Prince Louis left the Invalides with a mighty smile.

Louis is always the same Louis. The cynical debauchery in his eyes has not changed. He may turn from a waste to a careerist, but it is absolutely impossible to become a philanthropist. Prince Louis looks more and more like a fox. , not even punctuation.

Recalling that not long ago, Miss Ivy had an in-depth discussion with Li Ergou about Prince Louis.

Because the Shengluer Kingdom lost the war against the Fars Federation, a large area of ​​the country fell into famine.

Almost at the same time, Prince Louis immediately raised a sum of money for the relief of the victims. This behavior won Prince Louis a lot of good reputation, but when Miss Ivy and Li Ergou talked about this matter. At that time, Li Ergou shook his head and smiled.

"Miss, what do you think is kindness? Prince Louis did help the victims. This is a worthy act of kindness, at least in the eyes of most people. But ma'am, before that, I want to give you an analogy. Stole your ten dollars, and then gave you a dollar to keep you alive in the wild year, so that you can create more value for him in the future for him to plunder, you think you will be grateful to the exploiter who saved your life ?"

"No. Instead, I hate the exploiter."

"Prince Louis is doing the same thing. The most terrible thing is that the people will not hate the people who exploit them, but will be grateful for some small favors. They don't even know they are being exploited. Human beings are exploited for a long time. They will be numb and take exploitation as a matter of course, and the most ridiculous thing is that when someone insults the princes and generals who exploited them, the people will even get angry and raise their fists.”

Hearing Li Ergou's words, Miss Ivy immediately felt a sense of empowerment. History seems to be like this.

In fact, Li Ergou had already seen through Prince Louis.

The goodness of Prince Louis cannot cover up his own evil.

Prince Louis may indeed have taken back a large part of his power from the noble lords, stabilizing the kingship and making the country more stable.

But this does not change the essence of Prince Louis as an exploiter. It can be seen from the fact that he played with the exchange rates of gold coins of various countries and manipulated the process of the war to earn a huge sum of money. For example, the war caused tens of thousands of people to be displaced and poor. Unexpectedly, a large part of the responsibility lies with Prince Louis.

He is a tyrant disguised as a prince of benevolence. He will make Shengluer Kingdom stronger, but he will not let the people at the bottom live a truly happy life. The most terrible thing is that he will use the ignorance of the people at the bottom as his own. weapon to attack any power that defies him.

This fox is a qualified politician.

However, whether the Shengluer Kingdom is good or bad in the future, it has nothing to do with Li Ergou.

All he wanted was to be free after serving the eldest for three years, to go far away with Aishwana, to liberate the kingdom of Sri Lanka, to find the gate to the original world by the way, and to help Tom return to his family.

As for who Prince Louis is, he doesn't care and doesn't want to care.

Chapter 252 The Candlelight Dinner of the Lianqing Couple

In the Versailles restaurant in the Kingdom of Shengluer, Ivy's mother Shia Lianqing was enjoying a candlelight dinner with her husband Vitaro Sylph Lianqing.

Under the shaky firelight, Shia looked particularly attractive, and Marshal Lian Qing admired his wife's delicate face and couldn't help murmured:

"You're so charming tonight."

"Only tonight?"

"No, you are beautiful every night. The love between us has gone through a lot of ups and downs."

"yes."

Recalling the past few hundred years, the elves and the vampires were mortal enemies. For a long time, the elves often represented the embodiment of holiness and justice, while the vampires were considered blasphemous and evil. The two have waged many wars against each other in the southern part of the kingdom of Senruul.

But gradually, people found that the elves also have unforgivable sinners, and there are heroes with sacrifice spirits in the blood clan. The two races understand each other in the war, and they find that they have no reason to destroy the other race. , So the two races put down their grievances, and in order to survive on the land with the most human races, they became staunch allies who depended on each other.

Later, in order to strengthen the alliance between the elves and the vampires, Shia of the vampires and Vitalo of the elves became partners and formed the current family.

Although it was a political marriage, Shia and Vitaro fell in love with each other as if they were destined lovers.

Gradually, Marshal Vitaro Lianqing became one of the most influential figures in the kingdom of Shengluer. The forests of the elves, the bunkers of the blood race and some cities of the human race were all divided into the jurisdiction of Marshal Lianqing. .

"My dear, I heard that Prince Louis intends to take back the power of the nobles, including the jurisdiction in our hands?"

Shia raised the wine glass to clink with her husband.

"He intends to establish centralization. Only when power is highly centralized, can the country be more efficient, and if he is willing to take back our power, don't I just have more time to accompany you in the future, dear?"

"But don't forget, Louis is a human being, the kingship he represents is the kingship of mankind, and we are a minority, you are an elves, I am a blood race, I am worried that too much concession will lead to irreversible consequences..."

Looking back on the past, for a long time, humans would go to the forest where elves lived to capture good-looking elf girls and sell them to slave exchanges.

A long time ago, the blood race was considered by humans to be the accomplices of the demon race. Humans everywhere carried out severe persecution of the blood race. During the most serious period, the bloodless blood race lost two-thirds of it all at once. s population.

"Xia, now we are all members of the Shengluer Kingdom. What we should consider is not our personal gains or losses, but the country's gains and losses, the North Sea Parliamentary Kingdom located on the northern island, the Azure Empire located in our east, and Those republics and free cities in the south, they were all our enemies, and the anti-Shenluer siege appeared so many times, isn't it because we are not united within? I think it would be a good thing if the king could unite us ."

Shia's blood-red eyes were full of incomprehension, but even so, she should have the strength to protect herself.

"The times have changed, Shia, the Dongzhou Empire is composed of the three royal families of Xin, Da and Ya. The reason why the Dongzhou Empire is strong is because the three royal families can put down their hatred and stand together. Now our elves and The vampires should also learn from them, we are the Shengluer people first, and the elves and vampires second.”

It seems that Marshal Lianqing is determined to hand over his power to Louis.

If large swathes of the southern territories are justifiably brought under kingship, it can indeed make the kingdom of Shenglu stronger, but one day if Louis and her husband disagree on politics, the husband who loses power will be reduced to meat on the chopping block.

"Don't worry, Shia, I know what you think, but please have some faith in Louis and try to love our country."

Marshal Lian Qing fondly touched his wife's hair, and the wife finally chose not to argue with her husband, but to have a quiet meal.

However, for Shia, if she puts her family and the motherland in the balance, she will undoubtedly choose her own family. In her eyes, the country is just a loose alliance formed by a group of unrelated people to keep warm.

Thinking of her family, Shia suddenly remembered that young man named Li Zijin, that talented child was the man her daughter loved, but that man didn't know the good or the bad, preferring the inferior demi-humans with wheat-colored skin, which made her Shia was quite dissatisfied.
