Dominate the Treacherous Realm
Chapter 829
He said very simple, and then asked:
"What do you see?"
"Leap forward."
Neither of them explained their views, but continued the next story:
"As the days for me to become a queen are getting longer and longer, more and more people have begun to accept me and recognize my abilities. Although the daily work is still so heavy, the days are really changing day by day. Okay. It seems that I just buried my head in front of the book case and raised it again, and I have reached the age of silver hair."
She smiled and touched her hair:
"It really seemed to be just a blink of an eye. Before I knew it, my life was over. On the day of my wedding, at the moment of ring exchange, I would never have thought that I would spend my life like this."
"So how do you feel in your life?"
"Very good, Jenkins, think about it, I am not a descendant of the Middleton family, but can become a queen, should I complain about the injustice of fate?"
She took a deep breath:
"I have devoted my entire life to this country, so I hope that someone can continue my path. Can you understand?"
"Of course I understand. If the effort of a lifetime is easily erased by others, no one can bear it. I can understand, but I can't accept it."
"It's good if you can understand. If you can't understand, I will really feel sad."
They continued to move forward, and Jenkins continued to listen to the story. Of course, he would not be easily moved by these words, but with a curious attitude, he wanted to know the life of a legend like the other party.
"You're at this age, you definitely can't think of the old man's thoughts. When you reach my age, you will definitely miss our conversation that afternoon, walking on the racecourse together. I miss the smell of grass, I miss the sound of horseshoes together, and I miss the dimness. Every scene in the daylight...definitely will."
She repeated it, and then raised her finger to the distant mountains:
"I still remember that when I was 40, when I visited Nolan, I was almost at the same location as I am now. I saw that mountain. I never climbed that mountain, but I knew that it belonged to my territory. , Knowing that everything there belongs to me legally. This feeling is great and fascinating. The middle-aged me, probably lost in this feeling for a while, at that time the domestic opponents have almost disappeared. The diplomacy with Cheslan and Hampavo was also in a short period of peace until..."
"The great plague thirty years ago."
Jenkins guessed what she wanted to say.
"Yes, the great plague. No one expected that I didn't know the more secret reason from the church until last week. Thank you, Jenkins, for helping us get rid of that sword. I was also from thirty years ago. I realized that everything will have an end. I don't believe in the **** of death, but I really realized this.
That is, since then, I want to cultivate an heir of my own, who can inherit my path after I move towards long sleep. My luck is very good, and I don’t need to deliberately find or even create an illegitimate daughter. A year shortly after the end of the great plague, new children appeared in the Windsor family.
I was not there on the day she was born, but the first time I saw her, I knew that she was a girl who looked like me. "
There may be some problems with this statement, involving the ethical issues of the Windsor family, but Jenkins did not point out that he still wants to hear the next story.
"The Grand Duke could not agree with me to train Jessica as an heir. The kind of arbitrary man would not let his children do this kind of thing. So I approached Jessica deliberately, and as she grew up Continuously deepen the impact.
My methods are very gentle, because I don't want her to hate me, and I don't want her to treat me as an unscrupulous person. At least before you appeared, I was very successful. "
"Your training for Jessica is indeed very successful, I admit that. She is a very good lady, knowledgeable, strong, intellectual, elegant, and independent. Although I have opinions on you, I agree with you very much. Educational policies and methods."
Especially, Jessica is a principled person. After so many things, she is still very principled, which is commendable.
Chapter 1988 Chapter 1959: Three Generations of Kings
"Do you agree with my educational policy? Oh, Jenkins, this may be the highest evaluation I can get from you.
I once complained that I didn't teach Jessica about men, so I let her be deceived by you. But in fact, I talked to her about this, there is one thing you should not say, I told you. At least before she was eighteen, Jessica was actually more interested in girls. "
"...I won't say it."
It turns out that Miss Windsor's style in the world of possibility is not caused by world differences at all.
"This is actually normal. Most aristocratic ladies of that age have a certain degree of this tendency. I think this may be related to our education policy and social environment.
In short, although Jessica's last name is Windsor and she lives with her family, she actually spends more time by my side than at school. After making up my mind to train Jessica as my successor, everything went well.
Seeing a baby grow into a beautiful noble girl, this seems to be a blink of an eye. At the last moment, the eight-year-old girl was still asking me for a teddy bear as a gift for the end of the year. She was already taller than me in the blink of an eye. "
"So, you treat Jessica as your own daughter."
Jenkins asked, they were still talking while walking.
"No, my daughter is not a niece."
Queen Isabella shook her head:
"I thought she would get married, and helped her find some young people, but those people are not worthy of her. I want to find a young man of the same age who is noble, well-behaved, self-motivated and able to distinguish right from wrong Gentleman, it is too difficult.
Sometimes I also think, according to my training for her, will Jessica live a lonely life like me. Of course I don't want her to have a life like mine. It's enough for fate to leave this kind of life to me. There is no reason for her to do the same. She can inherit my way, and even inherit the throne, but I never thought of letting her live a life like mine, it was enough... Then she met you. "
The encounter between Jenkins and Miss Windsor was last fall. There was no fateful encounter, just a public encounter. Only one year has passed, and Jenkins still clearly remembers the banquet. During the banquet, he met Dimen Beryl, a descendant of the Demon Summoner family, and after seeing Jessica from a distance, he learned her identity from the then banquet partner Britney.
"So, do you think Jessica met me, is it a good thing or a bad thing?"
Jenkins asked. He heard the cat on his shoulder yawning. This cat has a siesta habit and will probably soon sleep lightly on Jenkins' shoulders with amazing balance.
"For her personally, it is a good thing to be fair. Although I have some dissatisfaction with you, you are indeed the best marriage partner I can find for Jessica... Haier and the girl from the Hesha family knew you before, so it would be even better."
"If you say that, then it means, do you think it is not a good thing for you that Jessica knows me?"
"No, it is even more good for me. I know how much resistance and pressure will be encountered if the descendants of non-Middleton are in charge of the country. If she marries you, then she will have legitimacy when she becomes a queen. And I I promised the first king that the throne will definitely be returned to Middleton's hands. This can be regarded as helping me fulfill my promise."
The two of them continued to walk forward and saw a three-story building not far away. It was a villa for the rest of the guests who came to the racecourse, and the group was walking towards that side.
"All in all, although I have encountered countless setbacks in my life, almost all of the difficulties have been solved by me. In my later years, my only hope is that the road I planned for this country can continue to extend, so I don’t hesitate to use it. For nearly two decades, he cultivated heirs for himself.
That's why I don't like you, Jenkins, you are a changer, you will bring different things, and you will never continue my path. Even if I know that the changes you are bringing are correct, I will not allow such things to happen. "
"Yes it is."
He nodded.
"When I was young, I succeeded to the throne under domestic and foreign pressures, and when I was in my middle age, I gained everything but understood that everything will come to an end. In my later years I wanted to cultivate successors, but I met you again. God has given me a very wonderful life. , And very generous, at the end of my life, let you become my opponent.
Jenkins, you can think of me as a stubborn old fool, but you must know that my story, my persistence, and my beliefs are not less than you, a young man who has only lived twenty years old. "
Since Jenkin and the original owner combined are not as old as hers, Jenkins did not refute this.
"So..."
Yu Guang glanced behind him:
"What if I use the means of the transcendent to forcibly gain the throne? Although you are the queen now, in fact, my hand is much larger than you. This is an unavoidable fact."
"Yes, you do have a way to do this, and I know you will not refuse to do it when the time is right. But so what? I didn't lose to you in a fair fight. You won the crown. But even if you claim to be the king, you just steal the crown. This may be ridiculous, but if you do, I can leave the center of the stage and laugh at you in the dark corners and laugh at everything you have done so far. Jenkins, if you want to Yes, then take it from me."
The maids and royal guards behind seemed to be suddenly deaf, and did not respond to this conversation. Old Duke Douglas Gerrold sighed, and his old face became even more tired.
"Since you said that..."
Jenkins looked up at the villa not far away.
A lady is standing there quietly watching a group of people come. It is Jessica Windsor in evening dress, or Miss Windsor.
It is absolutely weird to wear this suit at the racecourse, but she stood there, looking down at everyone like a queen. This is an inexplicable temperament. Not only was Miss Windsor once a queen, but because she indirectly controlled the differential engine, it was equivalent to manipulating half of the world.
Her temperament is similar to but completely different from Miss J and Jessica, but somewhat similar to Queen Isabella. But the sense of oppression is more pure, which may be because she is younger than Queen Isabella.
"What do you want to do? It's fun to have Jessica change clothes repeatedly, isn't it?"
asked the old man.
"You'll know in a while."
Everyone entered the villa. The servants in the villa were already ready to welcome the group. Jenkins, Miss Windsor, the Duke of Jerrold and Queen Isabella were seated in the living room together. After the servants prepared tea and snacks, they also Each retreat, leaving only four people to talk.
Queen Isabella looked at Miss Windsor’s dress, her eyes flickered and she didn’t know what she thought of:
"Why do you wear this dress here?"
she asked in a gentle tone.
"I just want to dress up, Jenkins, will there be a banquet tonight? Celebrate today."
"Eat at home at night."
He told "Jessica Windsor" about this for the second time, and the latter nodded happily:
"It's better than I thought."
After speaking, she looked at Queen Isabella:
"You finally figured it out? This is really good. I thought you were an incompetent king. Now that I can know that I was wrong, it means you are better than I thought."
"......"
Queen Isabella felt a clear discomfort, not only the disrespect in the other's tone, but also the attitude of her and the second Jessica Windsor on foot to the heir’s announcement. A big difference.
"Where did I go wrong?"
she asked.
"Isn't it obvious? Since you are a king, choosing the right successor to make the country develop better is your important responsibility as a king, even more important than a good policy. Obviously, let Jenkins be the King, it is equivalent to combining his wisdom and my help. This is the most ideal combination. I know you have always thought that Jenkins has no political experience, but doesn’t today’s speech explain the problem? For a smart man like him, Experience and time are equivalent, he will be able to master everything sooner or later, and...could it be that when you succeed to the throne, you will have a lot of political experience?"
When Queen Isabella succeeded to the throne, although she had been an assistant to the previous king for a long time, she was not considered rich in political experience.
"I originally thought that for your own stubborn idea, even if you are facing the danger of putting the kingdom into turmoil, you still insist on not choosing him. By doing so, you violate your responsibility as a queen, and violate your responsibility to this country when you succeeded. The sacred oath made."
"I feel that you are not praising me, but accusing me."
"Yes, I'm accusing you."
Miss Windsor is different from Jessica. Like Miss J, she was murdered by her possible Queen Isabella. Even if you know that the person in front of you has nothing to do with this matter, it is already very restrained to be able to sit here peacefully now.
"Your life as a queen is not too stained. When you were old, you made such serious mistakes. I didn't discriminate against the elderly, but are you really old and confused?"
This is a very serious accusation. Duke Jerrold gave an awkward cough to remind Miss Windsor to exercise restraint. Queen Isabella's face remained unchanged:
"Do you think what I am doing now is a stain on me as a queen?"
Chapter 1989 Chapter 1960 The Queen's Panic
"Yes, I think that is a stain.
Is it not? Duke Jerrold, swear to be honest with God. Tell me, do you think it is correct to choose Jenkins to succeed? "
is of course correct. Even people who support Queen Isabella do not deny that Jenkins, a descendant of Middleton, has almost no shortcomings except for his lack of political experience and excessive closeness to the church. Compared with other successors, he is the most suitable candidate.
"Your Majesty has announced that he will be the heir."
So the Duke avoided this topic.
"I think he should become king immediately."
Miss Windsor said, Queen Isabella smiled and shook her head to look at Jenkins:
"Walking around such a big circle, is this why you came to me?"
"Yes it is."
He took out the lady's pocket watch in the chest pocket of his shirt, opened it and glanced at the time:
"Sorry, you probably think I will not do anything out of the ordinary, but sometimes people have to make a choice."
He knew he should leave, and wasted too much time here, so he coughed:
"Ask one last time, would you like to give me the throne now?"
"of course not......"
was interrupted before finishing speaking, footsteps came from the door, and Miss J, dressed in hunting costume, walked in:
"You better think about it."
Queen Isabella and Duke Gerald were startled at once, and they looked at the door, and then at Miss Windsor next to them.
"It's all true, it's complicated to explain, but these two are real Jessica Windsor."
Miss J walked up to Jenkins and put one hand on the cat's shoulder:
"Sometimes people have to make a choice. As a king, you should know that certain choices are far more important than others combined. I was also a queen, yes, no doubt, I used to serve as Fidgetley. Queen, I know I’m not good enough."
"I have also served as the queen of this country. To be honest, this is very unhappy. I hate these responsibilities that are not mine."
said Miss Windsor.
"A second question, would you like to give me the throne now?"
Jenkins asked again, this time Queen Isabella did not immediately object as before:
