Chapter 130
Chapter 130
The day after Cardinal Joe left for Rome, Auguste and Raphael embarked on a journey back to London.The king travels, the knights are by his side, the servants are accompanying him, and the motorcade with pennants is so mighty that it seems that there is no end in sight.
August always felt that he was like a big moving human target, and there were seven large characters written on the crown - kill me if you have the ability.
Raphael was the one who unhesitatingly rejected Auguste's white dragon fish suit and all the simple ideas. The reason is very simple. He said it several times at the beginning, and now he doesn't mind saying it again: "You are from France. The king, everyone in Europe knows that France only wishes that your dead can form ten knight orders, do you think this kind of hatred can be resolved just because you travel in a low-key way?"
In a nutshell: You have watched too many TV shows!
The kind of jokes about the ruler of a country traveling in a small suit and light car, just look at it, whoever is serious and whoever is an idiot.After all, the face of the king can be printed on the coins, even if it is slightly distorted, there are still many people who know what the king looks like. At least the people hired to kill the king must know what he looks like.Not to mention that there may be other safety hazards on the road, such as a stunned young man killed halfway.
It would be even more embarrassing if the king didn't die by assassination, but by someone who simply wanted to rob.
So, is it safe for the king to take a few Miao people along the narrow path, or is it safe for the king to have a large army behind him?The answer to this question is known even to a three-year-old.
In his last life, August saw on YouTube the regular convoy configuration of the US president’s trips. There were dozens of vehicles in front and back, bodyguards, agents and police cars with live ammunition, and even special ambulances, anti-missile vehicles, and signal detection vehicles. Special vehicles with particularly straightforward names such as car and track car, and now, in the Middle Ages, he was also fortunate to experience such treatment.Although technology and industry were underdeveloped in the Middle Ages, the king's pomp was definitely greater than that of the US president.
"At this speed, I think I can take Bambi with me." August has been very insecure recently, always feeling that as long as anyone is out of his sight, something will happen to him.
Undoubtedly, this was one of the effects of Elizabeth's accident on August, even if he refused to admit it.
Raphael's experience is the most intuitive. He appears in August's visual range almost 24 hours a day. August will not disturb Raphael's work, but he must see Raphael Only then will he feel at ease, even if he is sleeping, he may wake up two or three times in the middle of the night, stare at Raphael for a while, touch him, and then fall asleep again, until the next disturbed awakening.
August is already trying his best to restrain himself, but the reason why psychological problems are called psychological problems is that even if you know that you are sick and actively cooperate with the treatment, you still cannot be cured.
Being carried around by such an almost pathological condition, probably only Raphael can be at ease, even a little happy.
When two perverts meet, the more perverted one will win. What Raphael thinks recently is that he only hopes that he is valued so much by August, and all other living and non-living things are not allowed!
The old Bambi just laid the gun innocently, and now it doesn't know the news of August's departure, and it is probably looking for it in the palace of Versailles.
Rafael: Just think about it!
August: ...
It was then that August finally received the belated letter from Lady Mary containing all the "indictments" against Richard III.
One by one, one by one, August looked terrified. Is this still his obedient cousin king?
"What stimulated Richard?" August sat in the bumpy carriage, wanting to seek Raphael's help. He didn't believe that Raphael didn't know more about the inside story.
This time Raphael... really didn't know.
As I said before, because of what happened to Elizabeth, August almost had nightmares every night, and Raphael was really worried that when he woke up one day, he would find that August had finally collapsed.In fact, this is also the case. August really couldn't bear Elizabeth's death, but August's stress response was not the kind of excessive sadness that Phil and everyone thought, but he began to try to recover from a flower. The sunflowers started to change in the direction of the piranhas.
Well, it's not considered a piranha, at most it's finally accepting Raphael's unconventional means of attacking political opponents.
But no matter how you say it, August alone occupies all of Raphael's energy, and every action affects his heart. He is not an artificial intelligence, and there is really no way to have an extra brain to deal with other things. Irrelevant information.
Anything other than August seemed irrelevant to Raphael, including himself.
"Sorry, I made you worry." August's previous state was indeed not very good, well, it hasn't been particularly good until now.He seemed to be on the tip of his horns, but this anger has faded after the death of the Pope. Although he will still be sad, grieved, and toss and turn, at least he will get better. In time, O Gust will come out slowly.Anyway, it will never be blackened.
Raphael raised his hand and rubbed August's head. This is one of the reasons why he loves August. No matter how the outside world changes, August will always be the August who sticks to his inner principles. ster.
He won't change his personality as if he changed his soul just because of one incident, as described in the novel.He may be impulsive at the moment, but when he calms down he will still be him.
"Although I don't know exactly what happened to Richard, I can be sure that the excitement must be quite big."
To be honest, from Raphael's personal point of view, he finally began to appreciate Richard III's nephew a little bit.For Raphael, an antisocial personality, the decisiveness of Richard III is what a king should be like now.
Of course, if Richard III continues to "evolve" like this, Raphael will consider interfering in the normal communication between August and his cousins.Because no matter how powerful August is, he is always a herbivore in his heart, and what he pursues is to maximize so that everyone can get the most suitable ending in life; but Richard III suddenly wants to start cannibalism up.Before being sure about Richard III's bottom line, Raphael was not at ease to put such two people together.
At the same time, Richard III was still working overtime, taking advantage of his cousin's arrival.The little king had a premonition that when his cousin arrived, he would no longer be so unscrupulous.
Yes, even Richard III himself knows how extreme what he is doing now.
But so what?He was willing and very happy to do it.
Due to civil strife in the Holy See, England has been unable to give a reasonable explanation for Miss Elizabeth and the Great Fire of London.And given that they were obviously unable to summon other Catholic countries to look good to England, Richard III embraced the essence of "killing you while you are sick", completely let go of himself, and began to vigorously attack the Inquisitions across the country... removal.
Yes, eradication is not "rectification" or "thorough investigation", but "elimination" and "no survivors"!
That sounds even more reactionary than the Inquisition.
However, it still happened when the masses were furious and their heads were hot.But anyone who wears the black robes of the Inquisition will have no good fruit to eat.
Richard III used public opinion to completely separate the Inquisition from the Holy See, calling it the legacy of the brutal Pope Alexander VI's violation of God's will.Since Alexander VI's successor, Julius II, failed to reform and streamline this erroneous institution whose mission it was to eliminate dissidents, let him take the lead.
The horror of Richard III thus spread throughout the continent of Europe.In the past few days when August was on his way, the whole of England did not know how many people were burned to death.
All members of the Inquisition who participated in the burning of "witches" but had no direct evidence to prove that the other party was a witch enjoyed the "test" of burning.
Richard III also plausibly said that if you are innocent and pious, and have not wronged any good people with excuses, then God will definitely send heavy rain to save you.If not...then go to hell and repent.
This logic makes no sense, does it?But during the witch trials in the Middle Ages, cases in many places were full of such unreasonable, even more cruel and illogical than it.
Richard III was merely countering violence with violence.
It is definitely not advisable to use such means for a long time, because the law enforcement officers will become the second Inquisition.But if it's just an emergency revenge for a period of time, it will be a good white terror.
At least in the eyes of Richard III, this is true.
The first to be used by the king were the core members of the Inquisition who "set fire to London and refused to hand over Miss Elizabeth".Their vitality is really tenacious. After being besieged for several days, even though they were starved to their chests and backs, they still survived. However, when they knew what they were about to face, many people regretted having such a life force. vitality.
They finally told the place where Miss Elizabeth was buried, but Richard III seemed to be deaf.To insist that they refuse to tell the truth is an unforgivable crime.
Core member:? ? ?
King: Then burn them.
Being wronged and having unspeakable things is uncomfortable, and the culprits who have caused many tragedies have now personally tried the sins they have committed.Richard III's only regret is that he couldn't burn these people to death several times.
During the days when these people were burned to death, Richard III, who was already mentally out of order due to physical problems, became even more out of order.But Mary, Anne and others did not see it, because Richard III was a very rational lunatic, he would not show his madness in front of people he cared about, in fact, he only vented all his negative emotions to on a person.
The "lucky" person chosen by the king was naturally Lydia.
Although Lydia is pregnant, she is at risk of miscarriage at any time. She can only lie in bed every day and cannot take a step off the ground. Her health can only depend on expensive medicines.
Richard III liked to see such a weak Lydia.At first he just came to see his unborn child, no matter what, this child was the only thing he could leave behind for his family, and it was also his first and only child, no matter how deep his affection for the child's mother was Even disgust, Richard III's enthusiasm for children could not be dispelled.After all, he had put too much affection into returning this child before, and he was so looking forward to his or her birth.
Regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, King Richard III had confidently thought that he would spoil this child to the heavens. If it was a boy, he would train him to be the greatest king. If it was a girl... then he would train her to be the greatest king. The greatest queen ever.The strange patriarchal tradition of the royal family should end in his generation.
Richard III always believed that if it were not for the so-called bill that girls cannot inherit the title, Britain and France would not have had such a long war.
The more times he came, Richard III inevitably resented Lydia even more. In the end, he still couldn't control his temper. He really couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure it out, he just talked Why did she have to pay such a tragic price for her failed first love?
Death should have been a distant and unfamiliar term for Richard III at his age, but now it is so close to him.
Why is this?
Was he not working hard enough as a king, or was he not devout enough as a believer?He just didn't know people clearly once, it's not fair.
It is impossible for Richard III not to be afraid of death, but he suppressed all the fear and anger of death in his heart and forced himself to accept this reality.But, suppressed, suppressed, he finally recognized the reality, he was not strong enough to laugh at life and death, he couldn't digest this abrupt reality.
"Why, tell me? Why did you treat me like this?!" Richard III looked at Lydia, and suddenly broke out. In the quiet and empty room, he looked so ferocious and terrifying.
He has clearly sworn that he will never become a scumbag like his father, but is this the reward for not being a scumbag?Like August, the little king, who had always believed that good people would be rewarded, for the first time uncontrollably shook his belief.Roaring and roaring, he laughed again.
The laughter was even more ferocious than before, and Lydia could no longer utter a word, only her eyes were full of fear.
Life is like those bitter oriental potions, the more you drink, the more bitter you will be.You thought you finally tasted the slightest sweetness, but it was just your self-comfort.Its essence is that it is so bitter that it makes you question life.
The cousins who live in different places have such a terrible life perception at the same time.
August was already very close to London, but he took a detour to some remote forest on the way, which Richard III wanted him to do, because, because...
Elizabeth is there.
She was casually placed in a very crude coffin that didn't suit her aesthetics at all, and a hundred silver nails were nailed into the coffin lid, for fear that her corpse would turn into a vampire.A large cross is painted on the top of the lid, facing Elizabeth's head.
"Open the coffin!" August gritted his teeth.
"Your Majesty, Miss Elizabeth has passed away, why don't we..." To be honest, many people in this era are quite afraid of evil vampires. They always feel that Elizabeth's resentment was so great before her death that something might happen.
"I said, open the coffin!" Because until this moment, in August's heart, he was actually not so willing to believe that his sister was dead.
The moment the coffin is opened, believe it or not.
Nothing could prove it more strongly than the fact that Miss Elizabeth's body had decayed, but the red cloak she had cherished since August was still alive and well.
August finally couldn't bear it any longer and knelt down beside the coffin. His tears burst into tears and his face was as pale as paper. He staggered as if he would faint at any moment, but until the end, August also remained awake. .He stared at his sister intently, as if wanting to see how beautiful she used to be.
When we first saw her, she was hiding behind Mrs. Mary's winter dress, shy and shy in the cool breeze;
When we meet again, she comes riding a horse with a bow and arrow on her back, like a rose with thorns;
By the time of parting, she was already slim, and there seemed to be a thousand words in her eyes.
August once again recalled the moment when Elizabeth was thrown out of the carriage in her dream. She lay on her back in the grass and a pool of blood, and with her last breath, she insisted on stretching out her hand to the sky.
That's not really a hint at all, just a simple inquiry, take me home, okay.
In reality, August held Elizabeth's broken hand in the coffin without hesitation, and said softly, "Liz, I'm here to take you home."
