—————————

What Louis didn't expect was that after Prince Condé, it was Bishop La Riviere who came to persuade him not to give his younger brother Philip, Duke of Orleans more rights and merits. He has always been famous for being an idiot, and it is entirely thanks to the king that he was able to wear the bishop's shoulder straps. It stands to reason that he should not appear in the crowd of outspoken admonitions—but Louis just thought about it for a while and understood The reason why the bishop did this - Larivier stood by the king without hesitation precisely because he knew who his master was.

Thinking of the incident in Dunkirk, the cardinal suppressed his instincts and did not eagerly lean towards the Duke of Orleans. The king was willing to listen to what he wanted to say. Sure enough, even if the bishop He offered admonitions, but his words were quite tactful and gentle. To put it simply, he suggested that the Duke of Orleans should stay in Paris to guard instead of going out with the king. This was also for the sake of the inheritance of the Bourbon dynasty.

This is also very reasonable, although it is very difficult for the king and the duke to die at the same time. Generally speaking, it is only an accident. If they are captured, the king and the duke will only be treated according to their identities , and will not be executed, or even hurt and humiliated, but accidents are unpredictable situations, and no one can guarantee that the king and the duke will be safe and sound on the chaotic battlefield, let alone the attack against them The assassination never stopped.

Louis thought about it for a while, and just when Bishop Larivier thought he had changed his mind, he shook his head: "Next time," he said, "Next time, I will let the Duke of Orleans stay in Paris." , but this time, I have promised him to let him go to Flanders with me."

"However, Your Majesty..." Bishop Larivière insisted for a while, which is quite rare. Louis looked at him and smiled slightly. He would not be sentimental, thinking how loyal this bishop is, he just... very He is self-aware, because apart from Louis, there are not many people who appreciate him in the court. He is indeed mediocre, incompetent, and cowardly. Prince Condé and even his younger brother Philip disdain him, but Louis's ideas are consistent with People in this era are different. He never expects his subordinates to have outstanding talents. In other words, he values ​​whether that person is suitable for him more than wisdom and morality. A small businessman, Colbert, became a minister, made his wife a duchess, and a meek and ordinary cardinal was the archbishop of Paris he needed.

To be honest, if Larivier had the ability of Richelieu or Bishop Mazarin, he might have become the closest roommate with Fouquet long ago.

So, La Rivière did come for himself, because he is the last person who is unwilling to let anyone other than Louis become the king of France, let alone become a cardinal. Archbishop, when the king made the siege of Castel Sant'Angelo and almost repeated the Avignon incident, he was doomed to not be able to get even a little support from the Roman Church-but he is not a complete fool, the king Having said that, he could only sigh, assured the king that he would pray for them before they left the room, and went to discuss with the Queen Mother about how many high masses and how many small masses to hold. went.

After Bishop Larivière left, the sky was still completely dark, and no less than a dozen candles had been lit in the king's room. They made the place as bright and warm as day, and the king asked Bontang to extinguish most of them. While putting some important documents into the box with his own hands - in this era, clerks have learned to use boxes of different colors to load documents with different importance and urgency. Of course, the documents packed by the king are placed in the red box -then the king stooped down and put some letter-boxes into a fine leather case, which looked ordinary, but was in fact a magic implement, with a tiny needle in the little lock on the lid, except No one can open this box with Louis' blood. If violence is used, the box will be burned automatically. There are several letters between Louis and Prince Conti inside. Thinking of returning to Paris with trepidation, he was the one who said in private more than once that he would never leave his mansion again, but it was also the one who kept appearing in front of the king after the Flanders strategy was initially determined and flattered him in every possible way. The king couldn't help but smile when he saw him.

This is why Louis must add Philippe to the list of expeditions. This is the first personal expedition of Louis Dieudonnay Bourbon, and the meaning will definitely not be the same as any subsequent ones. Those lucky enough to appear in the event are all the king's confidantes and close friends, and Conte is not the only one who is unwilling to let go of this opportunity. For several months, people in Paris have been thronging and seeking everywhere, isn't it all for this?

Thinking of Conti, Louis thought of Mrs. Lavallière who followed his order to meet or rescue Conti, and thought of another important thing from Mrs. Lavalier. The so-called whoever thinks about it will arrive. Just when King Guo was deep in thought, the window of the room suddenly slammed softly, and then accompanied by an invisible gust of wind, the curtain was pushed into the room, and the flame of the candle flickered and went out. The moonlight pouring down from the open window immediately replaced the artificial light, and then as if in an instant, the silver-white moonlight became real, and a breath from the wilderness shrouded it.

"Ah," said Louie, "I was wondering when you'd be back," he said.

Madame Lavallière, Louise the werewolf, shook her fluffy hair slightly, walked around the room, and then sat down slowly.

It has been a long time since Louise showed her werewolf's real body in front of the king for the first time, and it was more than once, but every time she saw such a beautiful beast crawling in front of her, the feeling even Louise couldn't bear. It was hard to resist, he didn't call Bontang, he went to close the window by himself, and when he returned to the silver giant wolf, he already had an extra comb in his hand - if you say that the craftsman wondered why the king needed a comb. A comb big enough to brush a horse's mane, and it was a fine silver comb studded with pearls—of course they wouldn't know that Madame de La Vallière liked pearls more than gems.

When the king combed the giant wolf's hair with his own hands, the tense body of the giant wolf gradually relaxed. She stretched out her head affectionately, and put her moist nose into Louis's embrace. It belongs to other women's smell, she knows that she should hate it, no matter as a werewolf or as a royal wife, she should not be jealous, and from the beginning, there was a deal between the king and her, but she just couldn't Control herself, how should she control herself? Put a glass of water in front of a thirsty person, and a piece of bread in front of a hungry person—she is so different from the king, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is now able to get the position of a royal lady. Fortunately, the king had almost no power that could be used in the other world at that time, and the Serbian werewolves had no strength and courage to seek shelter again after suffering two betrayals and expulsions.

But as a member of the devil, werewolves are born with greed—when Louise was Princess Henrietta's maid, the occasional eye contact in the game, touching fingertips or shoulders during the game were enough to make her Full of sweetness and joy, all she prayed for at that time was that Princess Henrietta would become the queen of France, and she could stay in the court and serve the queen and the king. Maybe when the queen wanted to send a message to the king, she could also Speak a word or two with the king.

Princess Henrietta did not become the queen, but she became the first recognized royal lady, which made her ecstatic and at the same time yearn for the king's love involuntarily.

When Louis was combing the fur of his royal wife, he found that Louise had grown up a lot compared to the first time he saw it. When it was lying on its side, it occupied almost all the open space in the room, even covering the chairs. Pushed to the corner of the room, the thick silver hair is spread on the ground, like a huge blanket, the king needs to raise his hands to brush the fur on her back now, her long kiss is rarely seen The king's face was open, but Louis had no doubts that she could swallow his entire upper body in one gulp.

It is really dangerous and strenuous to take care of such a giant beast, but the sense of accomplishment cannot be achieved by grooming cute cats and dogs. Louis also regards this work as a pastime and relaxation after tiring work , and also has the function of training—seriously, if it weren’t for Louis’s swordsmanship and martial arts courses that have never been interrupted, it would be really not easy to complete this job. Then he walked into the inner room, took out a loose silk satin cloak, and let it fall gently on the giant wolf.

"Okay," he touched the big ear, "change back to your original form," he said, "otherwise how can I talk to you?"

"I'd rather be like this," Louise said after returning to her human form, "because I feel that His Majesty prefers my wolf form."

Louis felt guilty for a moment, which was indeed the case: "Don't say that," his eyes fell on Louise. As we said before, Louise is not the kind of beauty that people usually recognize. Her face If it is placed on a man, it may be comparable to the Duke of La Rochefoucauld or the Duke of Orleans, but on a woman, this becomes a tragedy. The key is that for Louis, he can accept this A strange sense of beauty, after all, after hundreds of years, neutral beauty is also popular, and as time goes by, Louise's body has a special wild beauty - a strong body, slender limbs , strong waist, and full breasts, which are also very attractive to men.

Louis gently moved his eyes away, and Louise's expression was gloomy, because she often needs to disappear for a long time. She is recuperating, but who knows, until a few days ago, the relationship between the king and her was just like that of friends.

Louis heard a rustle, and Louise came up to him, already fully dressed, "Sit down," said the king, not letting Bontang in to light a candle, because werewolves' eyes prefer moonlight, and candles The light would make her feel uncomfortable, even if she was wearing a magic tool to conceal her identity—seeing Louise's calm face, Louis also said sorry in his heart, "Confranc What's the matter?"

After sending Prince Conti back to Paris, the werewolves continued to do the previous work—that is, the wizards ordered by the king to clean up and persecute France—they didn’t show up when the king needed it most. The king's call fell on deaf ears. Of course, the king would not allow them to continue to multiply and survive in their own territory as they wished. Gayola Island let the king know that the inner world is not another world in the real sense, but the inner world. The monsters, magical creatures, and wizards in the world are just an area divided from the surface world. Their spells cover the eyes of mortals, but in fact it still belongs to France or any country. There are no islands in France where these wizards can live, so they may still be inland, so the king's werewolves rummaged out these wizards in groups like driving voles in the field. Werewolves have an advantage, because werewolves and wizards have been enemies from the very beginning.

Confranc is the inner world of France. It is located on the border of France and France. It used to be a free city, but it has become unknown since then. Now it seems that it is a trick played by wizards.

"They begged your forgiveness," said Louise.

"That's all?" Louis smiled coldly. "And they?" In French, they are distinguished from them, but people use them more because women are not considered a complete human being.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Louise paused for a while, as if she couldn't find the right words for a while, "they, all I've seen, are witches." There may be male wizards, but even he has never been in a The dominant positions, whether as messengers or chiefs, are exclusively female.

"How did they explain to you the previous dereliction of duty?" Louis asked, don't say that wizards are not responsible, although they have always been proud of their talents different from ordinary people, but they will not be stupid enough to ignore the power of the world, or in other words, They can still deceive themselves when the other world can support them, but when the other world can no longer satisfy their requests... The Mancini family has always been connected with the Colonna family in Rome, but unfortunately the Colonna family cannot provide Give them enough shelter, and Naples also has its own wizards. After several twists and turns, they finally found Mazaran, and then contacted the French court through Mazaran.
