Moonlight on the Bay of Naples

high tower

It was the first time for the young king to set foot in this place where the royal family was imprisoned.

Queen Margot...

No, the former queen has been waiting for a long time.

In such a dark night, the maid only lit a lamp, which could not illuminate the space at all.

Her whole face was hidden in darkness, which made the king nervous for no reason.

"Mother..." Louis' eyes flickered.

"It's too late," the former queen raised her hand and touched Louis' cheek with her fingertips, which was one of the few tender feelings she had as a mother: "You made the worst choice in front of the times, and the wheel of history will turn you Crush."

"I made the most correct choice!" Louis retorted impatiently.

When he was young, Queen Mother Murphy was strict with him, and his study time was from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm.The father was busy looking for women, and the mother was busy having fun, and the only time I could see their backs was at the palace banquet.The guard seemed to accompany him, but in fact he just wanted to wait for him to fall asleep and slip out to drink.Even the nightingale in the palace flapped its wings and flew away at night.

Fortunately, after Queen Mother Murphy passed away, no one interfered with him again.

When he was eight years old, he cut off the nightingale's wings, put a golden feather in its wound, and nailed it to the wall as the most beautiful decoration.

At the age of 12, he instructed the military attache to cut off the guard's head, put it in a glass box sealed with formalin liquid, and smiled at him day and night.

Now he's finally locked his parents away, giving them enough time for the rest of their lives to hear everything he hasn't said.

"This country suffocates me. The stale, routine, and undisturbed life. I want to overthrow everything and build a new system!" He spoke loudly and hurriedly, and the former queen looked at him, thinking of what she hated The late queen mother.

"Oh?"

Louis, who was indulging in fantasy, did not hear the impatience and sarcasm in his mother's tone.

"I'm going to let art—great art, rule this country! Mother, listen to me. There's got to be a theater or a gallery every mile by the end of the summer! No, no, half a mile! There are prostitutes, dirty pleasures of inferior people, and they should be driven away from this soil forever..."

The servant took a quill and wrote vigorously, lest he miss the king's decree and cause trouble to himself.

Queen Margo has a lot of admonitions to say.

For example, "Politics is not a child's play", such as "Art is the breeding ground for ugliness."

But she didn't say anything in the end.She seemed to see the dark abyss of death behind Louis, but she was too lazy to give him a hand.

This child who resembles his father and his grandmother has made her feel dizzy and nauseous all the time for 16 years.

Like the year you just got pregnant.

She was 14 at the time, tired of life in Cote, and to escape, climbed into the bed of a stranger (then Prince Odin).

The blood of a foreign land is not allowed by law to live in the Kurt Empire for a long time, even the princess is no exception.She had a legitimate excuse to leave the empire.

Regarding this, her elder brother, Emperor Eugene, just said indifferently: "It's good to do it for yourself."

She is not sad for her brother's indifference, everything outside makes her yearn for fresh.

She wants to fly away!Farewell to the stale, routine, and uneventful old life.

— she thought so, and fell into another cage forever.

The candlelight flickered, the faces of the former queen were bright and dark.

"Well done."

These were her last words to Louis.
