The Sensory Animals of Ston Hill

Grace could tell who the idiots were at a glance: some couldn't even hide the disappointment on their faces at the sight of the living king.

How did they hear about it? "The king is dying?" Or, "The king is already dead?" Grace had to seriously think about what Her Majesty said. Under William's strict guard, someone deliberately spread false news.

The archbishop is obviously not a fool. As soon as he saw His Majesty, he immediately started to "thank God".The old man in the red robe leaned on a cane and struggled through the soldiers and nobles' bodyguards.As he struggled through the crowd, the mixed crowd quickly separated, the nobles and their personal soldiers stood at the bottom of the steps, and William led his soldiers to guard around the king and Grace.

At last the archbishop came before the king, his old sanctimonious face looked like he was about to cry, and he said excitedly that he thanked God for helping their king to defeat smallpox.

"I don't have smallpox," His Majesty corrected him. "I have been inoculated with cowpox. It's just that I was unlucky and had a stronger reaction than ordinary people."

The archbishop's face slowly calmed down, "Your Majesty, the king's body is blessed by God, and you don't have to be afraid of that disease. But how can you allow the cow's abscess to stain the king's sacred blood? Especially when you have not yet given birth Before the real heir!" Grace saw the archbishop's face gradually turned into a distressed expression, and the words became more and more outrageous, and finally shouted loudly: "The blood of the royal family has begun to be stained!"

The king said something more, and then the archbishop answered him, and the nobles also rushed to speak.They have been talking in the language of their country, but it doesn't sound very human.Grace could hardly understand what they were talking about, so she took the time to count the number of people on the other side.

There are more than 300 people on the other side.He remembered that William told him that in order not to attract too much attention, when they came to the summer palace, they only brought 120 soldiers and less than [-] king's guards as usual.

William also said that the king's guards are all Swiss mercenaries. Swiss mercenaries have a good reputation for hundreds of years, but they are not without a history of abandoning their employers; People with a sense of national honor will only fight for the patriarch's desire for power.

Grace was thankful that their weapons were all pointing upwards now.

The archbishop respectfully handed a piece of paper to His Majesty, Grace was standing next to His Majesty, and saw that it said that His Majesty should appoint an heir.The name has already been written, it is not the two underage illegitimate daughters of His Majesty, but a name he does not recognize.

His Majesty said: "My brothers, you have chosen a German as my successor."

"He is also your paternal brother," said the archbishop. "By blood, he is the most qualified."

His Majesty sneered: "No wonder the Queen stays in the church for hours every day. I thought she was talking to God, but it turned out that she was talking to God's agent in the world, and what she talked about was common matters, or family matters! He suddenly became angry, tore the piece of paper in half and threw it out, "Does the queen want to learn from Queen Margaret? Then who is her chosen regent? Is it you? Dear archbishop? I I really wonder, can you still satisfy her sexual desire at your age? Or did you send your assistant? I just realized that it’s no wonder your assistants are so young and handsome, so it’s for this kind of use!”

Grace saw the old man clutching his chest, as if he was about to fall ill, but Grace was sure he was faking it.

Then, His Majesty turned to the nobleman behind the archbishop, "It's not good for you to choose anyone, but you choose a German cripple! This 'Frederick' is a dementia born of a close relative. I can't bear this kind of person as my heir. I would rather immediately amend the inheritance law to give legitimate rights to children born out of wedlock, including daughters! Sophia and Elizabeth are both smart and beautiful children. If I were to die today, I would only choose one of these two children !"

Several nobles looked at each other, and it seemed that His Majesty's words had successfully aroused new ideas in their hearts.Grace also noticed that two people were particularly active, and they looked familiar.Grace stared at their faces for a while, and finally remembered that these two people looked very similar to the lady who gave birth to Princess Elizabeth, and they might be Princess Elizabeth's uncle.

The princess's uncles can talk among the nobles. The archbishop was pulled back by several nobles. They decided to talk about the heir later. After all, His Majesty looks fine, except for a few rotten cows on his face. Sores, far from death.

That seemed to be the end of the matter.Grace looked at the cavaliers who were gradually retreating, thinking that His Majesty is really amazing.Now he felt that those people were not scary at all. Like the Earl of Arundel, they were full of bad intentions, but they were only good at doing bad things behind their backs.Such a person is suspicious of everyone, how can their alliance be strong?

He looked at His Majesty adoringly, but found that His Majesty's face was very pale, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

His Majesty smiled at him, and said in a low voice: "Help me back." His voice was not as powerful as before.

Grace quickly supported His Majesty's arm, and found that the sleeves of his dressing gown were soaked with sweat.He hurriedly helped His Majesty to leave, when the annoying Archbishop spoke again: "The woman who urged His Majesty to be vaccinated against bovine abscess must be kept away from His Majesty!"

Grace turned her head in surprise, and found that everyone's eyes were on her face. He subconsciously went to William, saw that William's expression was extremely fierce, and said loudly: "It's my suggestion to His Majesty, it has nothing to do with anyone else! "

His Majesty also said: "This matter has nothing to do with Miss Nakoren."

"Look! Your Majesty has been charmed by this beautiful woman! This is also a militant woman who is good at talking to the king's pillow! Think of our neighbor France, think of Madame de Pompadour, the mistress is the real king! He suddenly raised his hands exaggeratedly, "God, although the fate of France is not good, Madame Pompadour failed to give birth to a healthy son! And our majesty has admitted that he wants to give power to illegitimate children!"

Grace saw that the eyes of those people were all on her belly, and the swords in their hands were all pointing there.He stepped back in horror, his stomach was as heavy as if he had swallowed a large piece of iron, as if there was really a child inside.But this is simply ridiculous and terrifying.

But no one came forward for the time being, because His Majesty was staring at them majestically.

"Your Majesty, you have never allowed women to participate in politics, because you know that once women participate in politics, they will be more ruthless than men, and they will kill all political opponents." The archbishop was talking again, and no one could stop the clergy.

His words once again caused fear to those nobles, and fear is the best courage, and those swords pointed at Grace moved forward.

A nobleman said that they just want Miss Nakoren to stay away from His Majesty, and they will not abuse her.The aristocrat who once called Grace a "common bitch" put it more clearly, saying: "This woman's appearance in the court will make all the aristocrats lose face!"

His Majesty put his arms around Grace's shoulders and ordered the two guards to take him away quickly.William also stood at the junction of the two parties and took out his gun.

Grace struggled out of His Majesty's arms and pointed to the distance: "Look!"

People looked into the distance, and a large group of people were galloping towards them on horseback.They were uniformly dressed in dark clothes and moved like dark clouds. They came very fast, almost in the blink of an eye.

Grace grabbed His Majesty's arm excitedly, "It's the army, Chris! It's the army!" But then, he saw a red cloud behind the army, which looked like soldiers raised by nobles, and those knights Love wearing such bright clothes.

"Reinforcements from the Conservatives?" he asked in horror.

"No..." replied the king.

"Is that here to help us?" Grace regained hope.

"Probably." His Majesty silently looked at the two clouds that were approaching rapidly.

"Then...why are you upset?"

His Majesty's face looked even more severe than when he first learned that the Archbishop was coming, "Grace, you asked me before, was that a coup d'état?... Now it is."

The black cloud stopped in front of the tall and majestic steps.The leader dismounted first, passed through the knights who were guarding the soldiers, strode up the steps, and came to His Majesty.

It's Alan Stone.

Alan Ston saluted His Majesty, handed over a letter with both hands, and said, "A letter sent by General Verrick. There is an urgent matter at the border. Your Majesty must personally send it!"

His soldiers and William's soldiers joined together, and soon the red cloud, which was slightly behind, also arrived.All of them together far outnumbered the Archbishop's men, and the nobles gathered in a small group tremblingly.

His Majesty tore off the wax, and took the letter out of the envelope.Grace saw that there was only one sentence written on the paper: "Fight to the last drop of blood for the greatest king and country." The lower half of the letter paper was filled with countless signatures, and there were also many noble family seals.

Grace raised her head and saw that William had put away his gun, silently looking at his brother, with the same stern expression on his majesty's face just now.

He looked further away and saw the Earl of Arundel and many warlords who had been vacillating were dismounting from their horses.

The author says:

The radical war faction released false news that the king was critically ill, stimulating the conservatives (archbishops and conservative nobles) to take action with confidence, exposing their ambitions in front of the king, and making the hesitant forces in the war faction (the red cloud) quickly move to the The radical faction (black cloud) gathered, and at this time the main combat faction began to gain the upper hand by far.For Grace, child's play is over and grown-up play begins.
