The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Cheer Chen, who had been cherished by Carl X, had returned to Warsaw at this time.

Unlike when she went, Natalie didn't return to Warsaw with Cheerchen. After learning that Chechen had said to Boguslav, "Forgive your enemies, I forgive my enemies", Natalie went solo to chase after President Stefan Czarnetsky who was heading to Poznan. An army of soldiers.

She is going to serve in the army and forget the pain in the war.

When Cheerchen saw Natalie leave without saying goodbye, he had already gone after him, but he came back halfway. Cheerchen thought that he had done the right thing this time, and he had to compromise by himself; he had to be tough. Moreover, Chechen also consciously waited for Boguslav to be handed over to King Jan Kazimierz, so no matter how the king handled Boguslav, the hot potato, the problem between himself and Natalie would always be solved.

After returning to Warsaw, Cheerchen immediately sent someone to announce his return. Soon, the king's life came down-King Kazimierz ordered Chechen to bring Princess Louise Henriette and Prince Frederick to Kazimierz Palace quickly.

Here, King Jan Kazimierz and Queen Ludwig will host a banquet in honor of the heroes who have returned triumphantly and the rescued wife and children of the electorate.

In addition to Chechen and Princess Louise Henriette, who were invited to attend the dinner, there were also some famous nobles in Warsaw, Jan Sobieski and other high-ranking officers. And Boguslav’s cousin, the culinary officer who was also from the Laziviu family, interceded with His Majesty the King for Prince Boguslav. Although he had not received an invitation, he was still shy to attend the meeting.

Tonight, King Jan Kazimierz himself is dressed in splendid costumes, jeweled and full of charm. The brown wig on his head curled into exquisite wavy hair curls; the skin on the face after the foundation was slapped, and the lips covered with lipstick, reminded people of the whiteness of milk and the blush of roses—— But to Chechen, there is always a strange feeling, like seeing a vampire; King Jan Kazimierz’s velvety olive oil moustache is soft and smooth, and his eyes are bright. It seems to be coated with olive oil.

The king was dressed in a black dress. The gorgeous long coat was meticulously stitched together by master craftsmen with strips of silk and velvet. The wide sleeves were slit along the two arms and buttoned with gemstone buttons. The wide open collar around the neck is sewn with pleated layers of Italian tailor lace, and the cuffs of the two arms are also decorated with lace of the same texture. A gold chain hangs on the chest, and from the right shoulder down, the long coat is cross-slung to the left hip bone is a striped ribbon with gold threads, the ribbon is inlaid with star-like diamonds, and it looks like a flickering light at a glance. belt. On his head, he wore a wide-brimmed hat with a black ostrich feather curled on the hat and clusters of fists.

Similarly, today's Queen Ludvika is also beautifully dressed. Although the queen can no longer compare with Princess Louise Henriette or young girls like Natalie in terms of appearance, the precipitation of the years and the demeanor of the queen have given Ludvika a different kind of beauty. .

When Princess Louise Henriette came down the steps with Frederick in her arms, Jan Kazimierz took off her wide-brimmed hat and greeted the princess slightly, while Princess Louise Henriette hurriedly put down her son and used the tip of her finger to greet the princess. He lifted his dress and curtseyed deeply to His Majesty the King of Poland in the same courteous manner.

Then everyone sat down at the table.

King Jan Kazimierz, in order to show his respect for the wife of the electorate, specially let Princess Louise Henriette sit in the position on his left. And to his right is his wife. The other people attending the banquet were also seated according to their titles and official positions.

The banquet began.

In order to narrow the relationship with Princess Louise Henriette, King Jan Kazimierz kept looking for topics to discuss with the princess, and Princess Louise Henriette replied politely. Both of them deliberately skipped the imprisonment of Princess Louise Henriette in Devinsk, as if it hadn't happened before.

Everyone is arguing, but one person is anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

That's the master baker.

On the way from Werner to Warsaw, the culinary officer urged Princess Louise Henriette to intercede with her Majesty the King for Boguslav, but the banquet went on for a long time, but Princess Louise Henriette was only with the king. In ordinary conversation, Boguslav was not involved in the slightest, so how could it not make the eager food steward restless.

The baker kept winking at Princess Louise Henriette, and signaled that Princess Louise Henriette should mention Boguslav. The message in that look was received by Princess Louise Henriette, and also by King Jan Kazimierz and Queen Ludvika.

The two Supremes knew that Boguslav was captured by Chechen and brought to Warsaw. The reason why they did not invite the culinary officer to the evening banquet was precisely because of Boguslav. Because they knew that the culinary officer would certainly intercede for his cousin, and King Jan Kazimierz could not refuse the plea of ​​the patriotic culinary officer, and must refuse.

In short, the king was in a dilemma as to how to deal with Boguslav.

At this moment, Queen Ludwig saw that Princess Louise Henriette seemed to speak. In order to gain the initiative, she said to the culinary officer before the princess could speak: "Your culinary officer, I see that you are a little bit hesitant to say something but stop. Have something to tell His Majesty the King?"

Everyone's eyes are on the custodian.

The culinary officer stood up from his seat.

Before he spoke, his face was full of sorrow. He shed two lines of tears and pleaded with the king for Boguslav: "Your Majesty, the reason why I have difficulty speaking is because the facts I requested are contrary to the laws of the country, but Trapped by blood, I still have to intercede on behalf of my cousin, Prince Boguslav Laziviu, the horse guard, to his majesty, and ask you to forgive him for his crimes."

"What? The traitor from Boguslav was caught?" King Jan Kazimierz pretended to be extremely surprised, but he deliberately put the emphasis on "traitor".

"Yes," the culinary officer was still sad. When he heard the king call Boguslav a traitor, the baker's shoulder shook a few times.

"Count Alvar captured him near Miatersk and brought him to Warsaw."

Although everyone knew about Boguslav who was captured by Schiechen, when the culinary officer mentioned Chechen's name, everyone couldn't help but look at him.

The culinary officer also glanced at Tetsuchen. But he quickly turned his gaze back to the king.

"Your Majesty, in Werner, I have paid the ransom to Count Alvar and obtained his forgiveness. I personally escorted my cousin to Warsaw at your disposal. I know that Boguslav is inexcusable, but I still have hope, hoping that the most merciful king can forgive him. Just as God said, forgive your enemy, I forgive my enemy."

King Jan Kazimierz stood up. He has a solemn face and cold eyes.

"If Boguslav was just my enemy, of course I would forgive him. But he is the enemy of the Republic, the enemy of the motherland, how can I forgive those who betrayed her on behalf of my mother?!"

The king's words amounted to the death penalty of Boguslav. The banquet was silent for a while.

It took a while before the royal baker woke up from a trance. He suddenly fell to his knees on the ground.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of my little credit for the Republic, forgive Boguslav." The culinary officer wailed, "Boguslav himself knew that he was wrong. He wrote a blood book on the process of self-reporting himself and expressed his repentance. Meaning."

After speaking, the culinary officer took out the letter from his pocket, read the letter, and held it high above his head.

The servant Ugowski walked to the culinary officer and took the letter, and passed it to King Jan Kazimierz.

The king accepted the letter, only then did he discover that there were actually two letters. Below the letter with the emblem of the Laziviu family, there is also a letter with the personal emblem of Marshal Lupaomatzki.

Obviously, this was the marshal who was pleading for Boguslav.

King Jan Kazimierz secretly stuffed this letter into his sleeves without even looking at it—he didn't want to give the impression that he was influenced by the marshal.

Opening the book of Boguslav’s blood, King Jankazimierz read it word by word.

As his eyes moved on the letter paper, his face slowly stretched from gloomy to dark.

"Boguslav really wrote with sincerity and sincerity." King Jan Kazimierz sighed.

This sentence of him obviously expresses a forgiveness to Boguslav.

Queen Ludwig heard her husband say this, and her eyes were unbelievable-just last night, Kazimierz also vowed to make Boguslav the first hanged in Warsaw in the history of the Republic. The great nobleman at the door.

But when Queen Ludvika took the blood book handed over by her husband, Queen Ludvika understood why he changed his mind.

Boguslav said in the letter that if he gets pardoned by the king, he will be a faithful reformer of the king and queen and support the reform plan of the two in the Republic.

Boguslav, or the baker, they know the king and what they want too much.

This is a cake that is hard to refuse. After all, the Laziviu family is one of the largest families in the Republic, and it is also a leader among the nobles who believe in Protestantism.

"Boguslav is indeed pitiful." Queen Ludvika also sighed.

At the same time, her gaze unconsciously looked at the letter in her husband's sleeve-if Lvbao Macki knew that the object of her intercession was going to be embraced by the reformists, he didn't know how to think.

With this attitude of the king and queen, Princess Louise Henriette also spoke.

"King, queen, I am probably the least of all people who should plead with you for Boguslav. But as the wife of William’s elector in the Principality of Prussia, a relative of Prince Boguslav, I am the most merciful king and Queen, be more lenient with Boguslav."

After that, Princess Louise Henriette led Prince Frederick on her knees and pleaded with King Jan Kazimierz and Queen Ludwig.

"Please forgive the prince."

The vast majority of the nobles at the banquet said in unison.

Jan Sobieski was the only one who had not stood up and pleaded with the king. He was sitting in a position where his silver teeth were gritted, and his hands under the table clenched into fists. He looked at Cheerchen who was sitting across from him.

Cheerchen did not intercede, but he did not stand up to object.

King Jan Kazimierz said: "In this case, I will ask for forgiveness for Boguslav in front of the goddess of the country and Christ."

By this time, the dinner was nearing its end. The waiter brought wash water and let the diners clean their hands, then King Jan Kazimierz stood up first and stretched out his arms to Queen Ludwig, while Princess Louise Henriette picked up Fred strong.

That night, Princess Louise Henriette stayed at the Kazimierz Palace.

Cheerchen left alone.

Behind him, Jan Sobieski stopped Cheerchen.

Jan Sobieski was full of blaming Cheerchen when he spoke.

"Chechen, I shouldn't have said that, because you are innocent~www.readwn.com~ but I can't help it because a great traitor of the Republic has been pardoned and the legal system is gone."

Cheerchen's cheeks flushed.

King Jan Kazimierz's forgiveness for Boguslav was also unexpected. He thought that Boguslav was escorted to Warsaw, and only the death penalty awaited him.

"Yang, I didn't expect it." Cheerchen tried to defend.

Chechen actually didn't expect Boguslav to be pardoned by the king as Natalie said. At that time, he promised Lvbao Macki to let the culinary officer redeem Boguslav temporarily. He also hoped that Boguslav would be punished due to his own hand. After all, Boguslav died in his own hands, so he and his partner We will face the anger and revenge of the entire Laziwiwu family.

But who has no selfishness? Although Jan Sobieski did not rise to approve the pardon of Boguslav just now, he also did not oppose it. Because he also once stood on the side of the Swedes against the king. Although the reason is very complicated and he did it in time anyway, it was his stain after all. Now the king trusts him more, but if he opposes the pardon of Boguslav, then someone will attack him on the grounds of consent in the future.

Jan Sobieski waved his hand.

"Forget it, everything is God's will."

After speaking, Jan Sobieski walked forward.

At this time, the culinary officer walked up to Tetsuchen with joy.

As Boguslav was about to be pardoned, the culinary officer was all red, and he once again expressed his gratitude to Cheer Chen.

"Count, please rest assured. I promise once again with my reputation that Boguslav will not seek revenge from you after he is pardoned. Your grievances between the two of you will be wiped out, and you will become a good friend of the Laziviu family."

"Mihavu's culinary officer, I hope so too." Cheerchen replied.
