Flowers, Swords and France

After hearing Her Majesty the Queen's order, the female officer was a little shocked because she clearly heard the quarrel between Minister Treville and Her Majesty the Queen just now.

However, now that Her Majesty the Queen has said so, she doesn't want to insist on it. Being in the palace, she certainly knows one thing - don't meddle in other people's business and don't disobey orders.

Even if there is any quarrel between Her Majesty the Queen and Your Excellency the Minister, it is not something she can interfere with. It may even be that the less she knows about it, the better.

"Yes, Your Majesty." She immediately bowed and responded.

However, she was still a little worried after all, so she added another sentence, "Your Majesty, I will be waiting outside the door. If you need it later, just call me."

"I understand, you can go out." The queen gave the order again, then she immediately turned around and left the room, closing the door again.

After the female officer left, Her Majesty the Queen still frowned and looked at Charles coldly, obviously still angry.

Charles also remained silent at this time, secretly calming down his excitement.

He also knew that no matter what the reason was, his behavior just now did make some mistakes. Although he did not regret it, he was in the palace now, and there were people watching outside the door, so he did not dare to do anything extraordinary again - if he waited If you are really guilty of offending Her Majesty the Queen, it will become big news and you will definitely be disgraced.

However, judging from the fact that the queen did not fall out with him in the end, she probably still didn't want to completely break up with him. Since she still had such thoughts, there was naturally hope of restoring the relationship between the two.

"You said... I still don't understand my position, do you want me to understand?" After the silence between the two people lasted for a while, the queen finally regained her composure, and then asked Charles, "Well, what do you want? Tell me what's the point? Tell me to be patient? Watching my husband drinking and drinking without saying a word?"

"Of course I don't mean it, Your Majesty." Although this is what he meant in his heart, of course Charles couldn't admit it. Although he wanted to feed the queen a glass of bitter wine, in order to take care of her mood, it was best to add a few spoonfuls. Tang, "I'm just saying that you need to assess the situation and not make things difficult for His Majesty the Emperor or others when your position is not yet stable...because in that case, you will be the one who is in trouble in the end."

"Isn't this a meaning?" Her Majesty the Queen obviously heard Charles's tactful words and immediately glared at him.

"No, of course this doesn't mean anything... Your Majesty, although you are now alone and can only say nothing about certain things, you are the queen of the empire after all, and you enjoy your due rights and honors. Charles explained to her carefully, "As long as you continue to fulfill your duties and obligations as a queen, Securing your position, then, eventually, as time goes by, you will gain everyone's respect and recognition, and gain the influence you deserve, and at that time you can stretch your influence as you like. It’s my intention… During this period, all that’s left is a wise move and a little effort.”

"Be patient..." The queen pursed her lips gently, leaving a thin tooth mark on her bright red lips. "Does it mean that you are watching your misbehavior and not saying a word? Using humble concessions and turning a blind eye in exchange for the glory of the so-called queen? If that's the case..."

"Your Majesty, you are not suffering in France!" Charles became a little anxious and immediately interrupted her, "I can see that you are still aggrieved now and regard yourself as a foreigner who was unfortunately forcibly driven away by fate. A woman who comes to France feels that she should not be here... But With all due respect, this tragic mentality can only make you depressed and deeply troubled by others! Now that you have been married for a year, there is no point in thinking about the past! You can only live in the present! The road keeps going, the only difference is whether it is going well or not!”

In an instant, Her Majesty the Queen's face turned very pale.

Although what Ciel said was very harsh, it was indeed the truth, and it was precisely because it was the truth that it made people feel so uncomfortable.

Before she could break down again, Ciel immediately continued.

"Yes, you are honored now, but this is not the time for you to sit back and relax. As I just said, your position is not particularly secure... because you have not done your best to serve the country as a queen. The great and most important responsibility is to leave an heir for this country. Yes, if you fail to do this, your position will be unstable! Think about it, the emperor in the past had no heirs. And if you abandon a queen, do you want to encounter the same danger? "

In the past empire, Emperor Napoleon used "no heirs" as the reason for divorcing Queen Josephine. Admittedly, this was not the only reason. Queen Josephine's betrayal of the emperor in her early years was also an important reason that always made the emperor resentful, but this But it is the most useful reason - and now, it seems that this reason can also be applied to the current Queen. At least Ciel can make Queen Kalona believe this.

Judging from Queen Kalona's pale face, Ciel also believed that his intimidation had achieved the desired effect.

Indeed, Queen Karona came from a declining royal family. Although she had the title of princess and a glorious bloodline and history, her mother's family had no power protection. In a sense, she was the same as Queen Josephine, isolated and helpless. If she was really abandoned, she would not even have any resistance.

And this was definitely not the result Queen Karona wanted to face - she had abandoned so many things and chose to marry a man who was almost as old as her father. Wasn't it for the title and glory of the queen? If she lost even this in the end, wouldn't her life become a tragic joke?

This was something she could not accept anyway.

No matter what, she had to keep the title of queen (and the possible title of queen mother in the future), because now there were actually only these things left in her life.

"Do you see your situation now? Yes, the flowers are in full bloom and the light is dazzling, but the shadow lurks in the light, ready to drag you down at any time..." With a strange sense of pleasure, Charles deliberately slowed down his speech and continued, "Your Majesty is already in his forties. I'm afraid he will be very anxious about this problem and needs to solve it as soon as possible, otherwise..."

"Do you think I don't want to be a mother earlier?! It's not... Who would have thought! A year..." Charles's meaningful conclusion made Her Majesty the Queen angry again, and then she suddenly found that she was a little out of control, a slight blush appeared on her face, and then she immediately shut up.

Charles understood now.

Her Majesty the Queen was so painful and out of control, not just because of her husband's cheating and betrayal. On the contrary, she was very smart. After a year of marriage without any signs of pregnancy, she vaguely realized the terrifying situation she was facing - it was because of this realization that her anger and anxiety were so uncontrollable.

Although she was young and had the common problem of young people being impatient, she was definitely not a stupid person.

That's really good... Charles sneered in his heart.

Since the fire has been started, why not make it burn even more vigorously and scare the Queen.

"And, Your Majesty, have you ever thought that even if the Emperor's love for you exceeds his desire for offspring, will you be safe?" A gentle smile appeared on his face, as if he was pitying, "Think about it, if Your Majesty has no offspring, then... if God calls, what will happen? You know, right? His collateral blood relative, the prince of the Bonaparte family, will inherit the throne, and what about you? What kind of status should you have at that time? How should you deal with yourself? Think about it, the prince who inherits the throne at that time must be an adult. In front of an adult, you... you, the former queen, Is your position secure or embarrassing? How should he view you? I think there may be many examples in history. "

In medieval history, there were indeed many examples of kings who died without heirs, and their brothers or cousins ​​inherited the country. In these cases, the queens of the previous kings usually had a bad ending - for example, Francis II, who died young, married Mary, Queen of Scotland in his youth. After his early death, his brother inherited the throne, and Queen Mary had to leave France and marry someone else. In the end, she became a prisoner of the Queen of England and led a miserable life.

It is obviously very effective to scare Her Majesty with such examples.

She must know that no matter whether she is keen on power or not, she has no other way out. She can only try her best to keep everything she has now. If she loses it, then her life will not come to an end, but at least it will definitely lose its meaning.

"Things... things are not that bad." Because of the arrogance of the young, the Queen was breathing rapidly, but she still forced herself to be calm, "You don't have to scare me."

"No, I'm just telling the truth. There are many such examples in history. Emperor Napoleon did depose the Queen, and many queens did suffer because they had no heirs and lost the throne. But, Your Majesty, you... your feelings, I can now understand a little bit." Because he now has a certain psychological advantage, Charles looked at the other party calmly, "Yes, you don't have to worry, Your Majesty is still young after all, you still have a chance to avoid all this. And it depends on you, you should continue to maintain a good relationship with Your Majesty, and find a way to have an heir as soon as possible, so as not to regret it later!"

The Queen could no longer refute Charles' words, but just stared at Charles.

And this stare only made Charles happier.

He had already explained the Queen's situation in plain words and pointed her way.

"Charlotte and I will help you keep working hard to maintain your position. Please rest assured that we are on your side no matter what." (~^~)
