Versailles Wild Rose

She glared at him angrily, "She dared to scold me in front of you, didn't you beat her hard?"

"I told her to shut up." He said flatteringly, "Women, that's the way, scolding this or that all day long, it's so boring. Don't be angry, I've already scolded her, she really can't do anything with you Compare."

She snorted.In fact, she can understand Athena's thoughts very well. She just loves her and thinks that a man loves her after sleeping with her a few times.Her mistake was that she didn't recognize Louis' true nature. It is impossible for Louis to listen to other people's words and thus dislike Abigail. Doesn't that mean that he has a bad vision?

Dog men always think that they are the best, and they will never admit that they have bad eyesight.

Louie fell asleep.

Abigail fell asleep too, and in the middle of the night, woke up.

Thinking about it, she was actually a little sad. This is not an equal relationship. Louis is the king. He doesn't understand and it is impossible to talk about "equality" with women, even for his wife.For the king, no one can be "equal" to him, so she is doomed not to get the "respect" and "equality" she wants.

The puzzle is unsolvable.

Poor? Perhaps.But in the eyes of most people, she has been very lucky.

She cannot improve her status, because even the queen is not actually equal to the king.Then, there is another way to solve the problem, which is to lower the status of Louis, but if Louis is not the king, how can she continue to stay by his side?

So the problem is not an equation, a solution, but not a good one.

The ideal state is of course what she thought before, to retire after a few years, give up the position of royal mistress, and then become a "widow" with money and a castle, living a happy life.Louis will have a new mistress, and will not miss her then.This is the best expectation of life in this era.

For this she will have to endure for several years.Let's make a five-year plan. For a man like Louis, being interested in a woman for five years is considered a long time.It's hard to be a royal mistress, but it's too easy not to stay a royal mistress.

Louis kept his promise and didn't go to Athena for several days.Athena hoped that the king would not be there, so she had to ask someone to deliver a letter to Louis.

The letter arrived in Abigail's hands as expected.

The letter is very gentle and expresses the feelings of longing. The writing is very good and can be used as a love letter model.

In the letter, she asked sadly if Madam did not let him come to see her. Madam must be jealous that she has been favored by His Majesty. Madam is a vicious woman with a strong jealousy heart, and she is also a lewd woman. Your Majesty deserves a more important job. Good love, she loves His Majesty so attentively and passionately, it is 100 times better than Madam

The letter is actually very well written, and it is very skillful not to directly write Abigail's name or title.

"Look, I'm a bad woman who doesn't deserve you, she's your true love." Abigail said mockingly.

"Boring," Louis pouted, "Why is she like other women?"

He muttered dissatisfied.

So this man now feels that Athena is too "ordinary".

"Probably because she loves you."

"There are too many women who love me," he said grimly. "She is not necessarily better than others."

"If you compare her to me, then I'll beat you up."

"What are you talking about? You see, I don't hide it from you. I will show you the letter as soon as I receive it. What about you?" He brooded over those damn love letters, which were only letters received in Fontainebleau. She must have hidden more letters in the Louvre.

"What's wrong with me?" pretending not to understand.

"You should also show me the letters you receive from others."

She hurriedly put the letter back into his hand, "I won't read it, and I don't want to read it in the future."

He was defeated by this trick unexpectedly, and he was very aggrieved, "Why are you doing this?"

"What's wrong with me"

"You always find a way to anger me." He crossed his arms and puffed up, "Did I treat you badly?"

She shook her head, "Not good."

He got angry, "You can tell me what's wrong."

"Nowhere is good."

"You're still mad at that woman"

"Yes. I originally wanted her to enter the palace to be my female attendant. I would have someone find a lot of work for her, so that she could only stay in the room. Didn't she say that she is a virtuous and gentle woman? She is also very good at sewing. It’s too easy for her to be busy from morning to night. Veronica will tear up a few skirts that I don’t wear, and let her do 10 hours of sewing every day honestly. I'll see if she still has time to go on a tryst with you."

Louis stared wide-eyed, couldn't help laughing all of a sudden, and nodded vigorously, "I think this is something you can do."

A maid is certainly not a sewing maid, but Athena could not refuse if the mistress asked.

"I don't want to see her, and I don't want to hear her name. Well, you choose a husband for her, and marry her far away in the province. You summon the count of Vivonne, and say that if Athena marries You will allow him to return to the palace. You can rest assured that the Earl of Vivonne will definitely give up his sister for your favor, and he will definitely agree. But I am worried that you will be reluctant to part with her."

Louis showed hesitation, but immediately said, "Okay, I will let someone choose a few candidates." He thought in his heart that the woman was right, and Victor would definitely give up his sister's interests for his own.

"If she asks to see you, you can't be soft-hearted, you have to think about me."

He thought for a while and agreed, "I won't see her again, but you also have to promise me that you won't see Titusland again."

"He has been exiled from France by you, where should I go to meet him?"

Louis now showed a mocking smile quite proudly, "Is that so, you woman who is full of lies, he has already returned to Paris, and may have come to Fontainebleau. My people already know where he is hiding. can catch him."

Abigail was shocked, but calm on the surface, "he was in Fontainebleau"

"You didn't pretend well enough," he shook his head. "You must have seen him in Paris. I have a little sympathy for him, and I admire him a lot. If it were me, I wouldn't take such a risk."

Abigail watched him calmly.

"You can only love me, so he will never want to get you in his life."

She was very anxious, but she couldn't let Claire go to Reinho.As we all know, this trick is generally used to catch the target in the movie.

She could only hold back her anxiety and wait anxiously.

Louis acted very quickly. In the morning, he asked Bontang to select a few unmarried nobles of the right age from other provinces. At noon, he summoned Victor de Rocheva, Count of Vivonne, and asked him to choose one of these candidates that he liked. Pleasant to be Athena's husband, got engaged at the end of the month, and the wedding will be held at the end of the year.

As a result, this matter had an unexpected result for Abigail, and Victor actually chose Count de Penasson.

Penasson was of the right age and was a provincial. Although his status was lower than that of the Marquis of Roshjois, the Gondy family was also a very old noble family, and marrying the daughter of the Marquis could be regarded as the right family.

In the afternoon, Louis summoned Count Penasson to announce the good news.

Penasson immediately refused, "Your Majesty, I believe that Miss Roshjova will be a suitable wife, but I have no intention of getting married now." He originally thought it was because Abigail's affairs had been exposed. They are all worried about what to do if Abigail is punished by the king.

Louis did not intend to change his decision, "Victor thinks you are very suitable, you should go back and prepare for the engagement as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty, I thank you for considering my marriage, but marriage is the union of two families, not a marriage contract made in a hurry without knowing anything in advance. I have only met the Earl of Vivonne a few times, and we can't talk about it at all. I understand. Perhaps you should ask the Comte de Vivonne to speak to me."

This request is reasonable, and Louis agreed, "You are right. There will be a small banquet tonight, and both you and Victor will attend."

He waved his hand, indicating that Penasson could step back.

Abigail has every reason to suspect that Louis, a dog man, wants to wipe out all suspicious rivals in love.Her solution turned out to be the stone that hit her instep, which really pissed her off.

He didn't like Penasson, but he didn't catch Penasson's fault, so he threw him to the woman Athena without even thinking about it.

"I hate Roshchova, you can't agree to a marriage contract."

Penasson nodded, "I see."

Abigail didn't explain, and Penasson didn't ask.

The topic changed quickly, and Penasson would give her small animals every time she came, which was strange and logical.I didn't send any exotic animals today, but a pair of lively squirrels.When Abigail came to Fontainebleau, she brought her birds with her, and there was a huge room dedicated to her with cages, which required a special servant to attend to.

Abigail said that yesterday I don't know whose cat escaped and ran into the bird house. The servant didn't pay attention, and the damn cat killed two larks, overturned several bird cages, dragged A big parrot is gone.

"I've already asked someone to catch the cat. Damn it, after finding out the owner of the cat, I must punish her severely and ask her to compensate me for the loss."

Penasson smiled secretly, "It's nothing, I'll send you a few more parrots, and there's a boat coming back."

"Is it to the port of Le Havre?"

"Correct."

"I haven't been to Le Havre yet."

"The pier is very messy. If you are not on a boat, you don't need to see it."

"I heard from Adrian that the pier is in chaos. There will be a lot of thieves stealing wallets, as well as workers, crew, merchants, and prostitutes who carry goods." She thought that the pier must be in a mess.

"Yes, it's dirty and messy. If you go there, you will be shocked."

"Don't you think I'm not fit to go to the docks if I'm not going abroad by ship."

"You can go wherever you want. There is no place in this world that you cannot go. But please allow me to keep you safe."

He can really talk.

"I might go abroad."

"About what time"

"A few years from now," she said casually.

A small banquet in the evening called some jugglers to perform, nothing to see.

Count Penarson and Count Vivonne sat together, and they seemed to be having a lively conversation.

Claude was always worried, worried that the king would find out that Abigail had gone to see Penazon that day, but nothing happened until the end of the banquet.He was a little relieved, thinking that his sister might have fooled the king again.

The banquet was actually very short, only 1 hour before and after.Bontang came over and said something in the king's ear, and Louis finished his food in a hurry and stood up.

The guests also stood up immediately.

"Ma'am," Louis called to Abigail.

She looked at him in surprise and had to stand up.

"Gentlemen." He nodded to the guests, and immediately led Abigail out of the restaurant.

"What's wrong?" Abigail asked.

"Probably something happened to you." He glanced at her, his eyes were a little excited

What's the matter with this man?

Bontemps led the way, leading Louis and Abigail to the wing next to the main hall, the wing where the guards lived, and into a room.

Reynolds de Lorraine stood in the middle of the room with his hands tied in front of him.Seeing her come in, he smiled at her slightly.

She frowned first, thinking that the king's people were really strong, saying that if they caught someone, they would be caught.She has never been very clear about Reinho's background. She just feels that he is very capable and can come and go freely. He has his own manpower in the Louvre Palace, and maybe in the Fontainebleau Palace. Otherwise, how could he stay in peace until now.

But, walking around alone, there will always be some traces left. The king wants to catch him, as long as the people below don't fool around, there is a high probability that he will be caught too.

Ugh

This is the asymmetry of resources and power, which has caused her current predicament.

Louis glanced at Reinho proudly, then looked at Abigail, "I said, I will definitely catch him."

There was a bruise on Renio's face, presumably from a beating. His handsome face was wounded, but it added a special dangerous temperament.

"What are you going to do now?" She frowned.

"I told you, if he wasn't a man, you wouldn't even look at him."

Now Reinho couldn't be calm anymore, and looked at Louis in amazement.

"Ah, are you really going to cut him?"

"Yes, I will let you see it with your own eyes."

"You're boring. Then you kill him."

Reinho was startled again, and looked at Abigail in disbelief.

"Aha" Louis clapped his palms, "This is really something you can say. Seriously, if you cry and beg me not to hurt him, I might actually have his head chopped off. Bang Dang, give me a cane whip."

"what are you doing"

"Why are you asking that? It's strange. Of course you whipped him severely. I heard that the whips they use for execution have barbs on them, which hurt people very much."

"you are so cruel."

"I told you, I won't kill him, but he must know what he must never do. If his brain can't remember, let his body remember."

From his standpoint he was not wrong at all.He is the monarch and the lord of the nobles. He cannot kill the nobles casually, but if he wants to punish them physically, there is no problem at all.

Abigail thought for a while, and it was unrealistic not to let Louis vent his anger, it was better to vent it on someone else than on her.

"Reinho, Louis wants to punish you, you can't avoid it."

He nodded calmly, "I know. I don't want to die, ma'am, as long as I don't die, I can bear any punishment."

"Does it also include any body parts that were cut off?"

"That may not work. I'm not married yet, and I have no heirs."

Louis glared at Abigail, stepped forward and kicked Reinho's legs hard.

Before Abigail could react, Reinho was already lying on the floor in pain.

"Louis," she exclaimed.

Louis didn't speak, took the cane whip from Bontang, and slapped Reinho vigorously.

His physical strength is good, and his arm strength is also very good. He whipped more than a dozen times.

Abigail guessed that it was time for him to calm down, and motioned for Bang to come forward.

Bang Tang understood the wink, "Your Majesty, be careful not to use too much force and hurt yourself."

Louis panted slightly, and threw down his whip, "You hit, you can't stop until I tell you to stop."

Bang Dang looked embarrassed, picked up the cane whip, and whipped it a dozen more times.However, his strength is not as strong as that of Louis, and he looks like he is holding it high, but his strength is far worse.

Lei Nio lay on his side on the floor, covering his head and face, not saying a word, and trying not to groan.

"Buntang, stop," Abigail yelled.

"Don't stop," Louie yelled.

"Louis"

"Do you feel distressed? If you feel distressed, then replace him with someone else." Louis said coldly.

"Are you calmed down?" She asked lightly.

"Are you distressed?" He also asked coldly.

"I feel sorry for him. If you want him to die today, you might as well just kill him."

Louis said angrily, "Bangtang, bring the sword"

"Don't take it"

Bundang had stopped, looking at his master in embarrassment.

"If you're not angry, let's get out of here."

Louis hesitated, and said, "I will put him in the Bastille, and you will not be allowed to see him. If you dare to visit him secretly, I will have him hanged."

"Okay, wherever you want to lock him up, I won't go to see him. Come on, let's go, you are like a child, you want to beat him when others don't listen to you, you never thought that I don't want to see Is it all?"

"Really? Then you swear to me that you never loved him."

"Why should I swear? Do you tell me to swear and I swear?"

"If you don't swear, I'll kill him now."

"Then you kill him."

"Abigail"

"What's the matter, I don't listen to you, do you want to whip me too?" She held his hand, "Look at you, you are so boring. You beat him, after all, do you want me to feel sorry for him? You're an idiot for wanting me to hate him anyway."

"I want you to remember that I can't do anything to you, but I can punish your lover. And that Penasson, he must marry Roshchova. Don't think I don't know that he loves you so much"

Abigail pulled him out of the room, and the voices of the two became farther and farther away.

Reinio was lying on the floor, the whip wounds on his body were painful, but he didn't know whether it was amused or heartbroken.

Abigail really couldn't really plead with Louis for him. The more she pleaded, the more angry Louis would be, and maybe he would really kill him on the spot.

The more indifferent she was to him, the sooner Louis would let him go.

He understood the truth, but it was still sad and painful.

Bontemps is gone too.

There was no one else in the room, and no one came in until about half an hour later, when Claire came in.

"Madam asked me to check on your injury." Claire said sternly.

She helped him to sit on the floor, and carefully took off his clothes. His whole body was covered with whips, but fortunately, the whips were through the clothes. The whips were red and swollen. It's serious.

"How's Ma'am?"

"She's fine, nothing happened."

"What about Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty and Madam are in the bedroom."

His heart hurts.

"Your Majesty said he was going to send you to the Bastille, and you will be sent away tonight. Do you have a message for my lady?"

Reinio was in a state of confusion, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Tell Madam, don't visit me. Please take good care of yourself and the boys. Tell her, I won't blame her."

"Madam said she tried her best."

She tried her best to not let him be killed by the king on the spot.

He resented.

"Tell me about the Count Penarson."

"The count often sends small animals to his wife. You already know that. The lady went out for several hours a few days ago and didn't come back until midnight. Did she go to see you?"

"No." He said in a low voice, "but I can forgive her, no matter what she does, I can forgive her."

Claire wiped the medicine for his whip wounds, and helped him put on his clothes again, "My master, you are so pitiful."

"Don't call me pitiful in front of your wife."

Claire was in a daze, "Why can't you say it."

"Madame doesn't like the weak."

Claire struggled to understand, "Then how should I report to Madam?"

"Just say I'm fine, I still love her, and wait for the day we can be together. Tell her she has to find a way to change the situation, and she can't stand this way of life anymore."

"What's the meaning"

"Remember what I said, just tell her that, and she will understand."

Claire repeated it, and then asked, "Madam said, what will you do if His Majesty forces you to marry Miss Roshjova before he will forgive you?"

Renio frowned, "Go and tell Madam, I will marry Roshchova, and she will die in a few months."

After getting the answer, Abigail thought that this is really something Reinho can do.Brother Lorraine is terribly afraid of him. If you think about it, Lorraine has been with the king since he was a child, and he is one of the most trusted people of the king. He must not pay attention to anyone except the royal family and his own father; Lorraine The knight is also a very proud boy, a person who can scare such a proud and indulgent brother must be tough and vicious.

Reinho didn't even have to do it himself, and Athena would probably die while giving birth, so reasonable that the Roshjovas couldn't find the problem at all.

Penasson is relatively kind-hearted, he only knows to refuse, and he can't think of such an idea of ​​never having future troubles.

The author has something to say that Reinio is going to the Bastille to be with Da Fei.

Reinho has never been a "good guy" in the traditional sense, and neither is Penasson.If you really want to say that he is innocent and kind, Adrian is the most innocent one. ,,
