The Dressel House was burned to the ground.

Whether it is a person or an object, everything is completely destroyed.

King Richard thought he could rest easy from now on, so he naturally ignored the slight uneasiness in his heart, and started chasing women again.

During this period, after "getting rid of the political enemy and the most likely poisoner, Lord Dressel", Earl Safire was successfully resurrected from the dead!

His trick also caused a sensation.

At that time, most people were still struggling to make ends meet, so no one had time to invent entertainment.So that the daily life of the nobles, except for playing cards, drinking, dancing, prostitution and other activities, is generally very boring.

Now I heard something new about Earl Safir's "resurrection from the dead"...

When everyone hosts a banquet, it is inevitable to send an invitation to the Earl. After seeing him, he will take the trouble to ask "how did the killer poison you", "how did you escape, why did you fake your death", etc. series of questions.

Although Earl Safir likes to keep a low profile to the outside world, he also has his own way of socializing, and immediately took this opportunity to quietly win over a group of people.

Duke Henry was as offbeat as ever.

After being successfully backstabbed by the 'ally' Master Dressel, he may have finally realized that what he did recently was completely dancing in the king's mind - the most sensitive nerve!

Out of a guilty conscience worried about being retaliated by the king, he hastily took the line of family affection, went to the palace to accompany the queen mother from time to time, and did a lot of things to entertain his relatives in colorful clothes.

So far, the world seems to have become calm again.

The matter of Mrs. Dressel seems to be just a small wave, which just appeared and then disappeared without a sound.

However, just when this group of people thought that nothing was wrong...Suddenly, like a meteor falling from the sky, it smashed their peaceful and comfortable days to pieces!

It turned out that Master Dressel's death was not just a small wave.

Instead, it's a herald of a huge wave to come.

The old nobles who have continued since the founding of the country all appeared overnight.

Except for a few families whose bloodlines were cut off, there were as many as 120 four noble family heads gathered together.

Then, a person that everyone did not expect appeared—that Mrs. Dressel, who was said to have returned to the countryside and never returned to the royal city, actually came back?

With a pale face, she wore a black mourning dress and a long black veil, holding a large box that was said to be full of evidence.

She was jointly and closely protected by those old nobles. In the name of fulfilling Lord Dressel's last wish, she once again brought up the old story, which had been forgotten by everyone. , and "Duke Henry secretly calculated the king's death" these two things were put on the table again.

King Richard seemed to have been struck by a bolt from the blue.

It was never expected that after the killing and silence, there would be a fish that slipped through the net; and more importantly, the fish that slipped through the net actually found a group of helpers to come back.

His eyes were burning, and he really wanted to execute all these people to death.But he soon realized that these old aristocrats, who could be taken out individually and could be disposed of at will, would form a force that could not be ignored once united, so that he did not dare to act rashly in a short period of time.

Therefore, the king instead ordered Duke Henry to contact Earl Safire, hoping that the new nobles would take the initiative to stand up this time and help him check and balance these people in the court.

However, this time...

Earl Safir changed his countenance, put on a pretentious look of embarrassment, and blatantly shied away: "We also want to solve His Majesty's problems, but we are beyond our capabilities!"

In the next few days, the old nobles pressed hard;

The new aristocrats watched jokes without helping each other.

The former kept asking him to severely punish the Queen Mother and Duke Henry, and to return Lord Dressel justice, but in fact they didn't care about Dressel's or not's, they just used this to blackmail the king to give benefits;

As for the latter, it has been hinted blatantly all the time—what does it mean to be incompetent? (It means that we don't have enough strength in our hands. If you want us to help, you have to give us some rights first, Your Majesty.)

King Richard was furious and felt that he had nowhere to vent. He believed that these people were all wolfish ambitions, and refused to let go easily.

For this reason, he also came up with many solutions, but when he came up with one, he had to reject the other, and none of them worked!

Sacrificing the Queen Mother and Duke Henry was obviously impossible.

Especially... Even if two people are sacrificed, as long as the two waves of forces fail to benefit from it, then they will probably continue to find an excuse to do this persecution;

Or choose to give some benefits they want...

Obviously, it's even more impossible!

think about it?

But how many kings who are subject to their subjects have a good life?

Because of this, His Majesty the King was having a hard time making a decision, so he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb to play the strategy of delaying, hoping to patiently drag, drag, wait, wait... and slowly find some turning points to reverse the unfavorable situation .

Unexpectedly, he himself was indeed patient enough to wait; then, although the old nobles were very anxious, they all knew that they should not be impatient during negotiations, so they suppressed their emotions and waited slowly; as for the new Nobles, don't be in a hurry, you still look like you're just reaping the benefits...

But Mrs. Dressel couldn't wait!

The daughter died, and the husband died too!

This poor lady has been living like a ghost, in a trance every day, occasionally going to bed, seeing some shadows on the wall, it seems that her husband and daughter are waving at her, urging her to come quickly, Good family reunion.

Therefore, she doesn't care about the interests of the old nobles at all.

The reason why he was with the old nobles was just to use their influence to express a sigh of relief for the Dressel family.

I don't want those old nobles to use her in the same way.

They didn't care how miserable the Dressel family was, they only used her as a bargaining chip to negotiate the price with the king.

After such a disgusting situation stalemate...

Mrs. Dressel decided to flip the table.

She wrote a piece of paper about the Queen Mother's love affair with the former kingslayer Frederick Beckett, and posted it everywhere;

In addition, she also printed hundreds of copies of some evidence, such as the love letters written by the Queen Mother to Frederick Beckett, the horoscopes and fortune-telling comments about the king's birthday that Duke Henry had produced, and all of them Get out!

And after doing the above things...

Mrs. Dressel took the poison and waited quietly to die.

"...It's so easy to do these things!"

Before she died, she sighed and thought: "If I knew I should have done it earlier, I would have saved these weeks of useless intrigue and... inner suffering!"

Such a development...

Although it sounds sudden at first glance, it makes sense when you think about it.

The Dressel family was really unlucky.

The last person, counterattack on the verge of death, regardless of everything, is considered a normal operation.

The only thing that surprised Jamie was—or because he was really kind to Suzanne; or because he was still able to take care of the sick Lord Dressel when the Dressel family was in disaster; It may also be because, when the Dressel Mansion caught fire, he was also the first one to arrive actively, and he thought up various methods to put out the fire with all his might...

In short, because of so many good deeds.

When the Dressel couple frantically exposed the royal family scandal, they coincidentally did not mention him as an 'illegitimate child', subconsciously blurring his existence, making him currently in a state of 'everyone has already guessed that he is The illegitimate son of the Queen Mother and the Kingslayer Frederick Beckett, but lacks the positive identification of the Dressel couple, so that no one dares to say it's weird state.

And under the blessing of this weird state...

Jamie simply pretended to be helpless, ashamed and sad, and on the surface began to close the door to thank the guests, without seeing anyone; in private, he secretly opened a small vest called 'Progressive Youth' for himself, Taking advantage of no one paying attention to him, he boldly ran to attend several secret gatherings.

At this time, Wang Chengzhong finally changed his views on freedom of speech.

Just because everyone is now paying attention to the gossip about the royal family, no one is in the mood to care about crazy hatters or crazy shoes anymore.

Moreover, due to this series of scandals, the royal family has already lost its majesty and reputation!

Even if the king's ban is still in place, there is really no way to silence everyone. In the end, it can only be forgotten.

So, from this day on...

No matter the fruit seller on the street or the prostitute picking up customers in the tavern, they can gossip about the royal family with others.

The common people can no longer respect these people as they used to, as if they were gods.

Just because: "The royal family seems to be no different from ordinary people? They seem to be more shameless than normal people... So, the queen mother will have an illegitimate child; the former king will also be cuckolded; King Richard and Duke Henry... ...isn't it just like a pair of brothers fighting for family property?"

The royal family that used to sit high above the clouds was finally dragged back to the ground.

The awe that people should have for the members of the royal family is slowly melting like snow.

King Richard had mixed feelings.

Although he never thought of becoming a wise king, he never thought that the situation would develop to the point where it was on the verge of getting out of control.

A few days later, listening to those gossip about the royal family that has become more and more outrageous...

The increasingly displeased His Majesty the King suddenly felt a revenge-like malice, and wanted to find some people to kill him!
