Your Mightiness

The author has something to say: the first words: Mary did not harm August, on the contrary, she just wanted to extract August from a matter.I'll explain what's going on tomorrow.Write about the king today.

After the brain circuits of the Black Prince and Raphael reached the same goal, members of the royal family gathered at Whitehall Palace.Even Duke Henry, who just sent his wife Mary to the palace in the middle of the night, got the chance to stay overnight, and the young man was so moved.

Henry is a distant relative of the royal family, but this is the latest time he has come close to being recognized as a family after marrying Mary.

August: "Huh?" He has always regarded Henry as Mary's husband.

Raphael reminded August in a low voice: "You also said that it is Mary's husband, an accessory, not a family."

A real family is not just a word on the lips and it's over, but a kind of inexplicable aura between each other that others can't get in anyway.Even August and Elizabeth, who haven't spoken a word for more than a year, are more like a family than Henry.Why?It's hard to say, but it's just a feeling that in a certain circle, they are a family connected by blood, and outsiders like Henry can only stand outside the circle and scratch their heads.

This is also the reason why Raphael's already somewhat wrong personality became even more distorted when he was young. He always felt that he could not enter that circle, even though he grew up in this family almost from birth.

It was the Black Prince who changed the situation for Raphael back then, and now it is the Black Prince who changed the situation for Henry.

This His Royal Highness, who is rough and detailed, has been trying to maintain the harmony within the family by relying on his beast-like intuition, even if he himself may not have the concept of this aspect, he just does it subconsciously.

Seeing the uncontrollable joy on Henry's face, August nodded thoughtfully, and the idea that "he also wants to be like his father" took root.He may never be better than the black prince, but he will work hard, and work hard for the family to grow and flourish.

In the royal palace, Richard II, who was suffering from pain and had to wake up every few hours, woke up again sweating.The lights outside the window were brightly lit, so he had to ask the attendants who took care of him day and night: "What's outside? Has the priest entered the palace?"

At Christmas last year, Richard II suddenly announced the construction of Bisham Abbey, and at that time said that "when he is about to die one day in the future, the priests in this abbey will hold mass for him." decision.This is why those who rebelled dressed up as monks of Bisham Monastery, only these people can enter the palace.Richard II's strict control of the outside world still has a certain effect, at least it is not easy for careerists to get close to him.

"No, it's not them, it's the Duchess Mary and..."

Richard II was already angry when he heard this. The illness made him even more irritable and irritable. He yelled at his attendants with all his strength: "Where is the Crown Prince? Where is the Duke of Gloucester? Who allowed Mary to come in?!"

"I allow it." The black prince pushed open the door of the king's bedroom, and turned against the lights, as if a god descended from the sky.

"Bill!" the king blurted out in disbelief.

Bill is William's nickname, but the Black Prince doesn't really like being called that. In fact, he doesn't like any nicknames, Bill, Will, Perm... When he grows up and can make his own decisions, He no longer allows others to call him by nicknames.

Only Richard II in this situation can call the Black Prince that way again.

The black prince stepped forward quickly, and held the hand of his own mother's brother.This time, Richard II never complained that his hand was hurt or the strength was not right. Tears burst into his eyes, and everything became blurred. He could only tremble. He said tremblingly, "You are finally back, Bill."

"Yes, I'm back." The Black Prince whispered in a gentle voice that he had never had before.

No, that is not tenderness that has never been seen before, but tenderness that is rare.But Richard II remembered the sound, he had heard it several times, when the Black Prince was a father and picked up the newborn Augustus; when the Black Prince introduced Joan, the love of his life, to the family. when; when... Richard II nearly died as a boy.

Richard II will never forget what happened at that time in his life. He was not valued by anyone, he couldn't eat well, and he didn't wear warm clothes. He was obviously a serious prince, but his life was no different from that of a servant.

Of course, Richard II didn't mind being an attendant, because he was his brother's attendant, and he took good care of his brother, which made him feel that he finally had some use besides crying.

The life and status of Richard, mother and son in the palace are very bad. Queen Isabella will only blindly back down, back down, back down again, and only her elder brother, Prince William, will stand up and oppose the power.But in fact, even Richard himself knew very well that he couldn't let his brother do that, and he couldn't let his brother anger the licentious and immoral father for him. His brother might lose the right to inherit the throne because of this!

Didn't they put up with it until today so that in the future, brother Tian will live a better life after he succeeds to the throne?

Richard II has been in the palace for so many years, but he actually has his own way of survival. He always hides in the corner as much as possible, so that no one will find out his existence, so he can suffer less.

But sometimes there are some malicious people that you can’t avoid if you want to avoid them. For example, Richard II is regarded as the king’s betrayed king’s lover. He is always tormenting Richard II as much as he can. .But this lover is not actually the king's true love. The king's true love, Knight Pierce, had been threatened by the angry aristocratic group to execute the king long before the Black Prince was born.The current one is at most a substitute, but the substitute is always unable to position himself well. Both he and his father are substitutes, but they are domineering in the palace and don't take the queen seriously at all. .

The lover always made fun of Prince Richard, and gave such a vicious and insincere perfunctory explanation as "just kidding". This day, he didn't know where he got offended again, and even asked someone to cut Prince Richard's head. Pressed again and again into the fountain.

Richard II had a low-grade fever at the time, and drowned again and again, and the results can be imagined.In a trance, he looked at the sculpture of an angel in the center of the fountain, as if he really saw an angel from heaven, with a soft halo, saying that he would take him to heaven, where he could eat whatever he wanted and wear whatever he wanted , and no longer have to worry about being tortured by his father's lover.

Richard II was covered in water, with tears in the corners of his eyes, but his lips were filled with a happy smile. It was very strange. He gradually stopped struggling, as if he was dead.

The lover had a bad premonition, and hurriedly left Richard II alone, and ran to the king first, and the villain complained first.After receiving the news, Jean rushed there. The queen who wanted to ask for an explanation for her son in front of the important officials lost all face. She couldn't even ask a doctor for her son.

That night, the queen completely tore the innocent princess from the depths of her soul who thought that she just had to endure until her son ascended the throne.

The Black Prince rushed to his younger brother's side immediately, hugged his already cold body, and pressed his chest over and over again, refusing to give up.

Maybe God really was moved by the Black Prince's efforts to bring Richard back from the dead.

The conversation back then was pretty much the same as it is today.

The corners of Richard II's mouth were pale, and he said weakly, "You're finally back, Bill."

"Yes, I'm back," the Black Prince gritted his teeth, and swore in front of his weak little brother, "I will never bear it any longer, Richard, never! Those people must pay the price for this!"

Now, the aged Richard II looked at his elder brother who seemed to have the same face, and felt a lot of emotion in his chest.Sometimes he also feels that fate is really unfair. He is getting old, but his elder brother seems to be still living in the past, so young, so full of vigor, and seems to have infinite possibilities.

But he was going to die, just like back then.

Richard II seemed to have really returned to that cold night when he almost died. He curled up in his brother's warm embrace, his brain was burning and confused, and he could only ask confused questions indiscriminately.

"Am I going to die?"

"No, no, why did you die?" The black prince also recalled that year, he had been talking to his younger brother, for fear that the other party would lose his voice and breath, "The queen mother went to ask the father to find a doctor for you, and the doctor came to you. That's enough, didn't we agree? I'm going to the deer park to teach you how to hunt deer, I promised you, how can I break my promise?"

"Really? That's great, I want to go hunting deer." Richard II looked up at his brother as much as possible.

"Yes, it will."

"Will the Queen Mother really ask to come?" Richard II asked again.

The Queen Mother, who had never dared to get close to see her son, finally broke down. She thought she had shed all tears. She didn't cry when the three brothers who loved her passed away one after another. She didn't cry when she was betrayed by her lover, and she didn't cry when she was rejected by her son. She didn't cry either, but now she burst into tears again at this time.

She covered her mouth and kept shaking her head. She didn't ask for a doctor for her son. Even if she was a princess or queen, she was still an incompetent mother who couldn't do anything.

It reappeared yesterday, and it was constantly torturing the really old Queen Mother, making her look as if she would faint at any time.

Richard II turned a deaf ear, and continued to ask his brother in a naive tone: "My father will avenge me, right? My mother always wants me to be a good boy and not to make my father unhappy, but this time I don't want to be a good boy, Bill, because it hurts, Bill, it hurts."

"I know, I know." The Black Prince kept wiping Richard II's painful sweat and tears, trying to relieve him even a little bit of pain.

"Why hasn't the queen mother come back?" Richard II asked suddenly.

"I don't know either, but I believe she will come back soon." The Black Prince thought that the past he had long forgotten became clear again, making him answer every sentence very skillfully.

"Will she really come back?" The hope in Richard II's eyes dimmed a little bit.

The Queen Mother backed away again and again, because she knew the ending so well. That night, she only cared about recognizing her husband's face, pitying herself, and knelt in the cold hall to freeze her heart little by little, but forgot. In addition, there is a young son who is dying and waiting for her all night.

As a bystander, the only thing August could do was to insist on pushing the queen mother to the king's bed when she retreated.

All these years, the Queen Mother has been wearing clothes that are not particularly gorgeous, which is exactly the same as back then.

"The Queen Mother?" Richard II tilted his head, he was really confused, like a child, he stretched out his other hand, looking at the Queen Mother eagerly, "You, you are back? Really came back?"

"I'm back, I'm back." The Queen Mother half knelt beside her son's bed and repeated, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Richard II regained his sanity. He looked at his mother, who was as old as him, for a long time without saying a word, and there were complex emotions in his eyes that he couldn't explain clearly.

No one would speak at this time, they held their breath and looked at Richard II.

Even Mary, who had the coldest attitude towards Richard II, had tears in her eyes.Richard II was not a good king, nor a good husband, nor a good father, but he was also a son who had suffered a lot.No matter how many wrong things he has done, at that moment, Mary hoped that her father could be redeemed.

Under the eyes of everyone, Richard II finally spoke, gasping for breath every time he said a word, but he insisted on saying the whole thing: "I don't blame you if you don't invite a doctor."

It should be said that it has never been blamed.

Richard II's heart knot was at the moment when he was about to die, his mother was not by his side, not that his mother could not save him, life and death were God's business, he just hoped that she could fulfill the responsibilities of a mother. The part to do—to be with him.He was so looking forward to her appearance, but he was only disappointed again and again.

"You let me be patient, I don't blame you."

"I almost died, and it's not your fault."

"I……"

I just feel so uncomfortable, Queen Mother, really, really so uncomfortable.Ignored, insulted, and left behind again and again, there can only be one person.

"How can you be alone?" The black prince understood the meaning in his younger brother's eyes, "You still have me, queen mother, Mary, Liz, Richard, Orr, Yale and Henry, we are all here by your side."

A few juniors who had been on the background board all night finally had the opportunity to walk in front of Richard II.

Richard II's exhausted internal organs are all telling him that this is probably really the last night, so save all your energy and say something, say it, say it!

"sorr..."

"I never blamed you." The crown prince was crying out of breath. He is too young to remember things. It is always easy to forget the happiness and pain of the past. Forget, "I don't want to lose you, please, don't go."

Elizabeth is like a white rose that quietly blooms in the middle of the night, her eyes drooping: "I have forgiven you a long time ago."

In the end, only Mary, who was as proud as a red rose, was left. She was still looking at her father stubbornly, and refused to speak easily.She was the one who had fought with him the longest among the three children, and she was the one who suffered the most. The two of them had the most similar personalities, always so strong and proud, never willing to show weakness in front of others.

Mary stared at the king closely, her chest heaved and fell, as if trying to endure something.

The king didn't speak either, as if he was in a contest with his daughter to see who could stay silent longer.

It's like... When there was no second queen and Mary was favored and raised as an heiress when she was young, Mary was the jewel in the palm of Richard II and Queen Catherine, the most noble princess in the empire.She has everything, she can blurt out what she wants to say, she finally said: "For a moment, I wish you could die."

Richard II has lost the ability to speak, and his flashback has really been flashback for too long, he can only express his meaning with his eyes, he knows, his daughter hates him and wants him to die.

He used to think he wouldn't care, but when he actually heard Mary say that, it still hurt.

"But when I really saw that you were going to die, I didn't want you to die." Mary looked down at her father who had become extremely fragile. People always have a lot of emotions when facing life and death. Mary No exception.Her arrogant personality makes it difficult for her to express her feelings, and it is already her limit to say this.

Richard II wanted to twitch the corners of his mouth and smile, but that had become a delusion. At the last moment of his life, he could not make a sound or see anything, but he heard the most crucial sentence from his daughter: "I forgive .”

There can be thousands of reasons to hate someone, but there can be only one reason to love someone.Just like the end of the fairy tale told to her by the king holding the little princess many, many years ago, love will eventually defeat evil.
