Dominate the Treacherous Realm
Chapter 687
"I will go and give her an answer."
He said vaguely, thinking it was next week in his mind. But there may be something next week, so I simply set the time after my birthday. After my birthday, I will take four ladies...Five, plus Julia, go home, and mother Mary will definitely not happy.
"But if I bring a distant relative who came to visit for the first time, Mary won't be too harsh on me, even if it's on Sigrid's face."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile, happy for his successful plan.
I saw Fei Ni again at the lunch table. Little Fei Ni did not sit with her friends, but sat alone in the corner of the dining table. Jenkins walked over with the cat and sat down beside Fini.
Chapter 1692 The first thousand six hundred and sixty-five chapters of Jenkins's promise
"Why didn't you see other people?"
didn't need to say hello, walked to Fini and sat down, Jenkins spoke directly, the two weren't strangers who needed to exchange greetings first.
"Sir, good noon! They are still selling flowers, but my share is sold out!"
Fini looked very happy, and even smiled at the cat. Chocolate was bored by the recent hot weather and three more people at home, so it didn't give Fini a good look. But this cat is accustomed to this, Fini does not feel that she is left out by the cat.
"This is really good, but the weather is so hot now that I haven't eaten at noon and I still sell flowers on the street..."
Jenkins hesitated, then looked at the rich food on the table, and wanted to choose some desserts that would relieve the heat.
"But I always feel that no matter what I take, the chocolate will be cheaper."
He stared at the yellow tempting pudding and thought.
"I sold out my share at ten o'clock in the morning, so I came back early. The nun will organize other people to rest at 11:30, but the nearby restaurant will eat."
Fini said happily:
"But the restaurant is also very hot, and it is still comfortable in the church."
Of course, the church will not let the nuns lead the children of the choir to any high-end restaurants. They only choose cheap restaurants on the street, so it is natural that the interior is hot.
While eating, Jenkins asked about the flower sales. The little girl also likes this topic, because "selling flowers" is not only her past, but also her present and future.
Fini said, while the little angel Louise behind her smiled shyly. Noting that Jenkins was looking at her, the angel nodded slightly, and the arm that was holding Fini became harder unnaturally, as if he was shy. If it weren't because the angel was a spirit body, so close to Fini so hard, she might have broken her neck.
"I heard that at the auction yesterday, the two pots of tulips that were unsold the other day were sold at a very high price. That is really amazing."
Although the flower sellers at the auction are completely different from the flower girls selling on the street, in Fini's view, this should be regarded as "industry news", so I told Jenkins as an anecdote.
Jenkins knows this of course, after all, the baron who paid a lot of money for tulips, but Miss Windsor found it, and even met Jenkins.
"So do you think it is reasonable to sell two pots of flowers for this high price?"
he asked his followers.
"Since it is a very beautiful and precious flower, and some people are willing to buy it, it is probably worth it..."
Fei Ni replied, but she frowned again, as if she had some doubts:
"But since I heard those two potted flowers, I always feel...this seems to be a scam."
Jenkins laughed happily, he patted Fei Ni's head and blinked at her:
"Don't tell others~"
The girl was still a little confused, but when she looked up and saw Jenkins’s expression, she immediately felt that she understood:
"Yes sir, I won't talk nonsense."
Fini, as the only fanatic of [God of Lies], naturally has the ability to deal with lies to a certain extent, so in theory, she can be more sensitive to the strangeness of this matter than others.
This shows that Fei Ni is really wholeheartedly believing in Jenkins, even if Jenkins did not give her any magic or ability, this young ordinary girl is willing to unconditionally dedicate her soul to him.
After reading the information given by the bishop according to the plan in the afternoon, he chatted with the bishop for a while, guessing what the outcome of the next grand meeting of the three kings would be.
The bishop has acquaintances in the Holy See, and he can obtain a lot of first-hand information. Coupled with the information obtained by Jenkins himself, it is basically certain that the three kings do not want the intermission of the war to continue.
The talks this time are not only about peace talks about war, but also territorial disputes between the three countries. Of course, the most important thing is that the secular forces seek to unite in order to gain an advantage in the new negotiations between theocracy and kingship after the joint meeting of the Twelve Orthodox Churches.
The Kingdom of Fidiktelli and the Kingdom of Hampawo have made preparations. As long as the king does not die before the meeting, there is a consensus in the country. It's just that Cheslan's situation is worrying. Those short-sighted fighters who seem to be controlled by the tree house probably won't be willing to accept that the war is over.
Leaving the church, applying for a meeting with Salhi II in the name of Dolores, and soon met Dolores' father, the king of the North, who had died soon in the reception room of the house.
He still wore a red fluffy cloak and looked very cold.
"You really came."
Salhi II said:
"I knew that even if Dolores heard my request, she would not disagree."
This seems to be testing whether Jenkins will discuss this matter with Dolores, but Jenkins ignored it. Sit down with the cat and look around:
"How do you feel how hot this room is?"
The chocolate is already hot and panting, and Jenkins's back in the shirt is already soaked.
"I'm a little afraid of the cold, so I asked your queen to arrange for the steam company to continue supplying steam for this house."
On a hot day, steam pipes are still needed for heating. This is a very new thing. Jenkins guessed in his mind that this should not only be due to the health of Salhi II, after all, no matter how weak he is, he would not need to keep warm in the summer to such a degree.
"The ability of the'clone' he has been imposed is defective?"
Jenkins secretly said in his heart, but did not reveal the opponent's hole cards. Now they know almost all the hands of the king of the North Kingdom, and there is no benefit to debunking this at this moment.
"Then what do you want to say to me?"
asked the haggard middle-aged king.
"I promise that if I become the king of Fedictelli, then I will not rely on marrying Dolores to annex your country."
Before Salhi II reminded the trap, Jenkins continued:
"But if Dolores did not become your heir, and I became the king of this country, and I was very lucky to defeat the heir of your choice, then you have a problem with the vision of choosing people, and your heir is not worthy to be Wang, and I deserve it all.
I think, if I obtain your territory by normal means of war, this should have nothing to do with Dolores, right? "
The trap that Salhi II saw was this. He wanted Jenkins to promise not to annex under any conditions. But what Jenkins said also made sense. The middle-aged man thought about it and laughed:
"You are very confident, but you are right. If the heir I choose is really no match for you, then it is destiny that made the Kingdom of Hampavo disappear. This is reasonable, and I don’t need to arrange too much for my descendants. Things, after all, they also have their own way to go."
PS: So where is the real trap of vows?
Chapter 1693 The first thousand six hundred and sixty-sixth chapter Salhi II's reminder
Salhi II finally accepted Jenkins's oath, but asked Jenkins to say it again in the name of a sage.
Jenkins, who has a clear conscience, is of course not afraid to repeat it, so he repeats it again in Fidiktli and Hampavo with a clear pronunciation.
He even asked the other party if he wanted to write this oath in writing, but the other party refused:
"I don’t want the things you wrote to be collected in a museum a hundred years later. You are on the side of the weak and the love. I am the elder or the reigning king. You don’t have to think about how people in future generations will think about what we are today. Whatever you say. Those little people, literary and artistic youths, or aristocratic women who sigh in the court are stupid. As long as love stories are involved, they always favor the protagonist of the story."
This is the reason given by Salhi II, but Jenkins believes that the other party should not be the kind of person who cares about reputation after death. Salhi II probably thought that if Jenkins wanted to go back after his death, the oral or written oath would not work, so it doesn't matter whether or not the oath is written down.
But it doesn’t matter if you don’t leave a written proof, Jenkins also saves the trouble of writing.
"You seem to really trust me, even your verbal vows."
After talking about the most important things, Jenkins breathed a sigh of relief and said jokingly, not nervous because the other party was the "father-in-law". When he treated the other two father-in-laws who were admirals of the navy, he was even more rude.
"I believe in my own investigation results. You are a very pious believer. Swear in the name of God, I am very relieved. And...Dolores is a gifter, right?"
Jenkins was not surprised by this sentence. If the other party did not know until now, then he should have been overthrown by the kingdom's conspirators:
"You really know."
While talking, he moved the cat lying on his lap to the armrest of the seat. It was too hot here.
Sarchi II snorted unceremoniously:
"Of course I know that she always takes things from the family's treasure house. Although she does it very concealed and knows to put substitutes, but I have been in touch with those treasures for more than 30 years, and some items are fake and can't be made. from."
said and picked up his own teacup. When the lid of the exquisite porcelain teacup was opened, white hot steam immediately emerged from it. Jenkins suspected that the temperature of the tea cup was above 90 degrees.
"Since Dolores is a gifter, without any evidence, I can directly identify you as the scribe of a sage...should it be this term? The church treats its gifter as a foreigner. Announce, I hope I didn’t say the wrong word."
He looked at Jenkins, as if he wanted to see panic and uneasiness from Jenkins's face, but Jenkins was still intently teasing the cat, looking up at him, his face was also quite calm.
"Yes, no evidence is needed. Although I have many children, I understand the character of each of them. Some people think that I am not a good father, but I know them better than they think. In my opinion, Although Dolores does not know why she fell into your love trap, the future partner she can accept is definitely not weaker than her.
Among all my daughters, Dolores has the most like mine. Although she may make inappropriate choices because of her sensibility, she will never abandon reason. Therefore, as the only girl with extraordinary talent in Stuart's generations, I don't believe that her partner will be an ordinary person. "
Because Jenkins didn't ask "how did you know that I was a scribe", Sarhi II could only explain himself there.
"So you think, as a scribe of God, I will not lie when I swear in the name of God?"
"Is such that."
His Majesty the King nodded affirmatively.
"Well...you are right."
Jenkins pursed his lips, not intending to stay longer on this question, but immediately asked:
"Since I have made the vow, then follow our agreement, and please tell me what the Queen Isabella is doing."
"I thought you would call her "Your Majesty"."
Salhi II smiled, because Jenkins swears so happily that made him feel very good:
"After I was seriously ill, a group of strange people came to me and promised to treat me, but I have to pay the corresponding price. There is reason to believe that those people have also contacted the old lady, and I don’t know they gave the queen. What are Isabella's terms, but she must have agreed. Oh, those people are gifters, at least the three people who came to see me are all gifters."
"What is the content of their transaction with Queen Isabella?"
Jenkins frowned. He originally thought that the tree house was only infiltrating the nobles, but he did not expect that they could contact the king, and the queen who had been in office for a long time actually agreed to the deal. This was not a wise decision.
"I don't know about this. After all, this kind of thing must be secretly talked about. No matter how powerful my spies are, it is impossible to put their ears into the cold spring palace study bookshelf and use alloy panels to soundproof the secret room.
Salhi II said, according to the priesthood of lies, this sentence is the truth.
"In fact, I still have a question. Since the tree, now that the organization has contacted you, do you agree to accept their help?"
Jenkins asked again, and he didn't entangle the queen Isabella for a long time with the other party.
"I didn't let them use those terrible rituals to help me renew my life."
Salhi II said it very naturally.
"In other words, you also promised their help? Help other than life extension?"
Jenkins sighed.
"Have anyone talked to you about this kind of conversation, it's best not to expose the other party easily. I know you grew up in a civilian family, but since you want to fight for the throne now, you must at least learn some basic common sense, right? Didn't Dolores teach you?"
His Majesty the King exclaimed, and then said:
"There is another piece of news to tell you that I am not the kind of stingy elder-your queen's true favorite successor, in fact, is the girl surnamed Windsor."
Jenkins raised his eyes to look at him, Salhi II’s expression was not abnormal, and [lie] never suggested that there was a problem with this sentence.
"But the information I got is not like this..."
He hesitated, but then remembered that most of the news he had learned came from Miss Windsor. Queen Isabella had never mentioned in front of him that Miss Windsor would inherit the throne, so he never judged Windsor from the queen. Succession is true or false.
"I don't care about this. You can choose to believe it or continue to investigate. But if you need it, you can come to me for help at any time. I'm happy to help a promising young man like you...Yes, Since you used Dolores as an excuse to see me today, you can't bring back any news, otherwise someone will suspect you why you came to me. You are also a sensitive person at this time. At this point in time, it’s best not to talk to me. Any scandal has something to do with rumors. So ah..."
Salhi put down his teacup unhurriedly, "Well, I will announce in a while that I intend to marry my daughter and an heir to Fidiktelli. This is for the friendship between the two countries. But I It will not explain who the choice is. In this way, even if the public opinion is mixed with conspiracy theories and involves you, you can still refute it."
has no opinion on Jenkins, and at the same time still sighs that he is still too young compared to these real politicians.
The meeting with Salhi II lasted all afternoon. In addition to the things that they cared about, the two also talked about art, history, theology and even mainland customs.
Jenkins believes that this is because the other party wants to learn more about the details of his daughter’s marriage partner, or it may be that he wants to understand Jenkins’ true "fineness". But anyway, he has nothing else to do this afternoon, so this kind of purposeless conversation is not annoying.
It's just that it's too hot in the room, and Jenkins's back is wet all afternoon.
Because the next day is the Three Kings talks, Jenkins has received an invitation to accompany him as a member of the royal family. Therefore, this evening, he did not arrange other activities. First, he talked with Dolores about the conversation with his father this afternoon. Her Royal Highness blushed and listened to the agreement between the two. Later, she talked to Miss Windsor about the reminder of Salhi II openly, but Miss Windsor thought it was a lie:
"I'm just a **** of your majesty."
When I said this, the lady who was one year older than Jenkins was extremely disappointed.
Finally, I met with the Marquis of Mikhail and talked about Queen Isabella. The other party was also surprised by the Queen's contact with the transcendents, and said that they would look for a close attendant next to the Queen to investigate.
But from beginning to end, the Marquis did not comment on his daughter's move to a man's house before marriage.
