People who are close will have secrets in their hearts.

　　At Windsor Castle, Shaq felt this sentence deeply for the first time.

　　 He thought he knew everything about Lorraine's growth, but he thought that Lorraine was intervened in his life by Helena.

　　 But now, it seems...

　　 The Archbishop of Berwick is called St. Simvery Berwick, the Holy See of the Anglican Church, the leader of the Puritans, and the only saint.

　　 Shaq knows that he and Elijah Drake are inextricably linked, but they don't know where their friendship started.

Shaq also knew that he was very kind to Lorraine. He went to Tavistock more than once, and used almost deceiving and shameless means to convert Lorraine to his faith, such as... a child who believes in God can see it. The legendary candy house...

　　 The archbishop’s love for Lorraine was once the most important support for Shaq’s hatred of Helena. After all, such a holy and flawless elder is in front. If Helena is not obstructing him, which child can refuse to throw himself into the embrace of God?

　　 But how to explain what happened at Westminster Abbey?

　　The saint is in front, the father is by the side, Helena is far from Tavistock, Lorraine's body and mind have just been purified by the holy water...

　　 That should be the closest time Lorraine and God were, but he actually fought with that noble elder...?

　　 And the king and queen of England were on the sidelines during the fight. After the fight, Lorraine overcame the walls of Westminster Abbey...

　　 Is this world crazy?

　　Shaq suddenly panicked. He suddenly thought of a terrible fact. If Lorraine's choice of faith was not the result of Helena's intervention at all, if all this was his own decision from the beginning...

　　 The most distinguished couple in England are chatting gossip enthusiastically.

"I've always wondered how a gentleman such as Eliya raised this irritable wild horse, Drake." George III said happily. "Do you know why Baker ran to the Sultanate? The cause of the whole incident was small. Drake."

　　 "His fleet went to Africa to expand business. In Mombasa, the Portuguese taught their slave dealers at the door of their house, and they were forced out of their home port and escaped into the Sultanate to seek asylum in Mombasa."

　　 "This incident made Maria lose a big face. That woman was a lunatic. This time she went bare-chested to battle, and she wants to tame the foal herself with her majesty."

　　 "She sealed up Little Drake's property, abolished the trade license, and said that the Drake Chamber of Commerce is a pirate chamber of commerce. While asking the envoy to protest with me, she sent a fleet to fight against the thief."

　　 "Who knows, two Voyager-class ships will be completely defeated by a privateer merchant."

　　 "Little Drake is not a fuel-efficient lamp. When he was a child, he dared to wipe his nose with the red shirt. Now that he has grown up, even the Majesty of Portugal is not enough to awe him."

"He formed a lawyer team in Madrid, bringing together 25 of the best lawyers in Iberia, including 8 Portuguese. His team filed a lawsuit in Madrid, accusing Maria of violating bandit politics. Take the sacred property of legal merchants."

King George III winked at his wife: "A bandit, a pirate, Maria was forced to respond in the capital of Old Charlie. If it is not for fear of causing diplomatic disputes, I really want to send a minister to witness the trial and see the pious Maria in the dock. Can you continue to maintain a holy face."

　　 Queen Charlotte heard it with gusto, and couldn't help asking: "Maria herself appeared in court?"

"Is there a difference?" George III waved his hands. "Her face is lost, Portugal's face is lost. The 74-door Voyager class is no different from our cutting-edge third class, but the Portuguese admiral's ability has become The laughingstock of the world."

　　 "Their only fig leaf is to win the first instance. Because of insufficient evidence, Drake lost the first instance. But his team of luxurious lawyers did not get nothing. They fought for six months and the Madrid court promised to hold a second instance."

　　 "Little Drake went to the Sultanate to collect evidence. He bombarded the Sultanate's seaports, wiped out their navy, and blocked their capital."

　　 "The sultanate broke out in civil strife under high pressure. The old sultan was assassinated by the second prince, and the rebels killed the second prince. Then the fourth prince succeeded to the throne, the eldest, the third, and the fifth refused, and the entire Muscat was chaotic."

"At this time, Little Drake invited Baker and our garrison in Africa. They only died three soldiers and put the Sixth Prince on the throne of Sudan, which not only maintained world peace, but also earned money for us. Considerable benefits have come."

"Little Drake also made a lot of money from this war. He took away 197 asylum slaves from the sultanate cell and obtained the testimony of the sultan. The sultanate's mission in Madrid proved his innocent."

　　 "France, the Netherlands, and Spain are also mixed in. A total of 11 gentlemen are willing to use their reputations to prove the bad behavior of the Portuguese in East Africa. They are a huge force, and one of them is a member of the Knights of the Golden Fleece."

　　 "Now that the time for the second trial has been set, the day after tomorrow, the trial will still be held in Madrid. I heard that Portugal has prepared a real lawyer this time, but everyone knows that Maria has already lost, and she can't save face and sorrow."

　　 Queen Charlotte opened her mouth slightly: "How will this matter... end?"

　　 George III laughed: "Is my wife worried about little Drake?"

"Don't worry, Maria is the king, and the king's body is tied to the shackles." He drew a cross on himself, "The harder Maria falls, the stronger Drake's business in Portugal will be~www.mtlnovel .com~Maria can't do anything. The big deal is to exclude the Drake Chamber of Commerce from the policy. But the question is, when did the stingy Portuguese take care of foreign chambers of commerce?"

　　 "Really..." The queen flew beautiful eyes, "It sounds like your Majesty is happy this time. The English merchants have defeated the Kingdom of Portugal, it is like history going back 200 years."

　　 "No, Sophie, history has been moving forward. Our people will also testify in court this time, and the Portuguese's complaint about Drake's overrun limit will be concluded in the same trial."

George III knocked on the document in front of him: "King Drake, the testimony you bring will affect the face of England. Because of Maria’s temper, she will definitely bite back, so I need to know that this investigative report is really good. Believe it?"

　　 The topic changed without warning.

Shaq returned to his position in an instant, and immediately raised his chest: "Please rest assured, the Drake Chamber of Commerce has provided the most detailed ship data, and Colonel Emmons watched the entire Muscat war again. Judging from the actual combat performance, There is almost no possibility of fraud in the report."

　　 This statement made George III's mood suddenly fall into a complicated state.

"Qualified nobles should always know the distinction between public and private." He frowned. "Drake Qing, as an admiral, you really think that a commercial frigate with less than 60 guns and no over-limit firepower can defeat two ships. 74 powerful battleships?"

　　 "Yes, she can, Your Majesty." Shaq replied categorically, "This is not my opinion alone, but the consensus of the entire Admiralty."
