I Am Louis XIV

Everyone present, including Duke Don Juan, who has always been unrestrained and moody, frowned. Queen Maria held her mouth even more, trying not to show disgust and fear—even though Carlos II was her biological son, he, at least the current Carlos II, was no longer the child she loved , but a devil crawled out of hell, wearing the skin of the king of Spain.

These are also the four people present, and perhaps Queen Antonia, who has not spoken out, but obviously will not stand on Carlos' side, because this weak girl is needed to be a perjury, not an ordinary perjury——she wants to be between the wizard and With the help of the doctors, I made my stomach bulge ugly—the veins on my neck were exposed, and the moaning sounded endlessly. There is no need to pretend. The waterboarding of the Inquisition also used this method occasionally. The pain was unbearable, and so was the queen.

With such a belly exposed, she was sent into the veil in full view—what foreign queens could not do, the Spaniards could do easily by themselves, and they hid the newborn child in the midwife's box, and then Drenched in blood, hugged out from the curtain.

The queen laughed as the crowd cheered Spain's new crown prince.

Patinho was also worried that the queen who was still a child would not be able to endure such pain, but he really underestimated this Habsburg princess. She really deserves to be a descendant of Leopold I. Hearing about their plan, she immediately guessed that Carlos II had caused so much dissatisfaction that they couldn't even wait a few years... She had no love for her husband, only hatred, and she even Regardless of whether his father Leopold I would be furious, he sent himself to Toledo to marry just to ensure that the Spanish throne would not fall to the Bourbon family or that the future heir to the throne would come from a Bourbon woman belly.

But does he know? ! Know that Carlos II is just a crazy beast? ! Do you know what kind of master you will face? Or he never thought about it—he didn't care what happened to her at all, whether she survived long enough to give birth to offspring, she... she was just for Habsburg, and her brother (even if he didn't know it would will not be born) to pave the way to the Spanish throne.

This question Antonia asked herself more than once.

"Your Majesty the Queen," a maid said softly, "The King has gone to the underground palace, and may not return tonight."

"The hop wine and those things still need to be prepared." Antonia said, looking at herself in the vanity mirror. The big chin inherited from Habsburg not only ruined the appearance of male heirs, it was even more cruel to women. Even Leopold I was more willing to enjoy family happiness with his illegitimate children than to be with his own daughter for a long time-the minister Patinho and the Archbishop of Toledo who came to greet him, When he saw her, he sighed less obviously.

She smiled at herself in the mirror, and even if it was a smile, it was an ugly smile.

She is ugly, she knows, but princesses and queens are never proud of their looks, she is not an ignorant girl-thanks to Louis XIV of France, although Leopold I hated him, But I couldn’t help but learn everything from him. I heard that Louis XIV also asked the teachers to teach the princess and the princess like the prince, and he did the same, although Antonia also learned because of his marriage contract with Carlos II. For three or four years.

But in the past three or four years, she has not slack off for a single day. She thought that this would get her father's love for her. Of course, this was a ridiculous idea.

When Carlos II saw her, he showed an expression of hatred unabashedly.

In the following days, as long as Carlos II thought of her, what awaited her was a cruel torture. Some of the maids around her were sent by Queen Maria, and some were sent by Leopold I. Among their responsibilities, surveillance and control are more important than serving the queen—even so, when they saw His Majesty being so cruel, they couldn't help but tremble all over, and they couldn't help but feel sympathy for the queen.

But what made them stand together in the end—whether it was the noble daughter of Spain, the noble daughter of Austria, or because of the growing desire of Carlos II, no one knew what those dark wizards did to him, but since Kalos II Once Ross II became healthy, he became enthusiastic about having sex with all the women he liked, any woman, married or unmarried, willing and not so willing.

If this is the case, it can only be said that he is too romantic, which can be regarded as a joke, but the problem is that this king is a beast, as Queen Antonia said, and Juan Patinho has a reliable The officer can be said to be a loyal and good man, who has visited or set off for Spain several times, but the younger sister of such a person was also "missed" by Carlos II. what happened. When he saw his sister's body, he howled like a whipped wolf.

The girl was not even the only one, two other noble ladies also died in disgrace, and then an unexpected person stepped forward--Queen Antonia.

Antonia sheltered them. With the acquiescence of the Queen, the Queen Mother, they got hop wine, which can paralyze Carlos II's mind and make him unable to discern who is under him-once the king enters the queen's suite, or If they ordered the noble lady to serve him, they tried to make him drink this specially sweet wine, and then let the "famous sisters" raised in the dark of the palace appear on the stage.

"Mingshu" are different from noble girls. In this era, no matter how glamorous they are, they are also playthings and livestock for customers. It is common for them to be beaten and scolded on the bed. It only needs to pay a small sum of money to settle the matter, and death is just a few more money.

The queen's attendants made it very clear to them that they only treated themselves as if they had received a rough and bad guest. If they were injured, they could get a sum of money that they could never earn in their life, and the queen would give them a future. The shelter, and there will be a doctor waiting by the side if you are injured-this is safer than working under the previous madam. Even if they encounter misfortune, the queen promises to give them a beautiful cemetery.

The last condition may seem unbelievable, but even if someone is willing to hold a funeral for the humble "famous women", the priests may refuse to perform sacraments for them, and they cannot be buried in the churchyard , can only find a resting place in the cemetery of prisoners and vagabonds, and sometimes, they will be left in the wilderness to be devoured by wild animals.

After hearing what the queen said, the maids went to the king's suite and the queen's suite to make arrangements. The maid who asked the question was not taking any chances—who would dare to take such chances, but to make such an arrangement, no one but the queen There is only the Queen Mother outside, but the Queen Mother never cares about it.

The "Ming Shu" who was arranged today, the maid is still somewhat familiar. She is a beautiful woman who is obviously in her prime. Only this kind of dangerous guest is willing to receive this kind of dangerous guest. She is young and inexperienced. The name of the accident may still be afraid, cry and run away, but this little person who is about to come to the end of his life has a lot of experience in fighting suffering and fearless courage.

"I, what I am most afraid of are the bakery owner who is no longer willing to pay on credit and the landlord who is knocking on the door outside." She said with a smile: "I want to make a lot of money, and then go to a warm port to buy a house." Live in a house where you can see the sun, the seabirds, and the sea."

What makes the maids remember her is that she may be the only one who has served the king more than three times.

—————

Mrs. Milady slowly lit her long pipe on the candle, put the amber mouthpiece to her mouth, took a puff, and exhaled the bluish-white smoke from the gap between her red lips...Looking at them floating in the air Patterns of birds, wild boars and moths drifted before lazily leaning on the long couch full of goose feather pillows.

Of course, it is impossible for ordinary people to be able to deal with the current Carlos II, a monster. However, noble ladies generally rarely have access to the secrets that noble and important ministers can access, so although they know that there are wizards, they are not enough. sensitive. Of course, it wasn't Mrs. Milady who was kept here before. She had been in Naples before, busy with infiltrating into the world in southeastern Italy. .

But Marie Mancini, the Duchess of Colonna's sudden death forced her to transfer the matter there to Junker, and rushed to Paris to send his mother's bones back to Calais for burial together with the Duke of Colonna.

This incident caused the Duke of Colonna to suffer a huge blow. As his half-mother and teacher, Mrs. Milady must have accompanied him through this painful time, but obviously, no matter for the Italians, For the French, revenge is more important than grief, but compared to the Italians who are willing to brew their hatred into a glass of mellow wine, Louis XIV, the Sun King has never been the kind of patient person, especially now he Possesses unbearable strength.

Mrs. Milady was immediately sent to Toledo. There was a "famous lady" here. Although she was not a wizard, she was a follower of Mrs. Milady. Mrs. Milady not only gave her money, but also gave her potions and "equipment". ", she was able to persist here until today - as soon as Mrs. Milady arrived, she immediately replaced her.

Mrs. Milady was much calmer than the restlessness that other people must have when they wait in the small room-could be patient and concealed, but still hurt and afraid of death, and she would not know until she was an adult. She is a witch, but in Gayola, she has the best and most complete wizard teacher, and her talent is not inferior to that of any big family. Otherwise, how could she become Mary's right-hand man and the teacher of the Duke of Colonna? ?

Moreover, most of the black wizards here are from Flanders and Holland. They are just a group of lost dogs. Mrs. Milady may know their origins better than Patinho or the Archbishop of Toledo. She may not be able to It's a mess here, but getting away isn't a problem.

Louis XIV also told her that if something unexpected happens, she can escape first.

Lady Milady did not find it necessary. Before she knew that she was a witch, she had faced Mazarin and Richelieu, the two cardinals who once made the whole of France bow their heads, and even the Sun King Louis XIV—undoubtedly A servant of the Lord of Europa, how could she be afraid of several dark wizards? What's more, when Carlos II was enjoying himself, he would not let them continue to accompany him.

If not, the Li Daitao strategy of the queen and the maid would not have been able to be used to this day.

There was no window in the small room, and the candles brought warmth. Mrs. Milady stretched her body and was about to take a nap when she suddenly heard a scream!

Mrs. Milady only glanced through the crack of the secret door, and jumped out as lightly and quickly as a big colorful cat.

When Queen Antonia was slapped to the ground, she was only glad that Carlos II hadn't discovered the scheme she had set up with the noble ladies—although she didn't know what went wrong, the hop wine didn't play its due role As a result, Carlos II was very sober when he walked in.

He was extraordinarily tyrannical today, as soon as he came in, he drove away the maids and moved his hands. Because of this, they didn't have time to open the door and call a replacement to come in... No, the bookshelf is moving, and the person assigned today is unexpectedly Without waiting for the call, I walked out by myself——no, no, no! Antonia yelled in her heart that Carlos II was facing the secret door with his back—but she could see it clearly, and the scarlet velvet skirt almost hurt her eyes.

Madame Milady looked left and right, and picked up a heavy book, maybe "The Twelve Emperors of Rome" or something like that, the binding was very exquisite, that is to say, the inner pages of vellum, the hardwood boards wrapped in sheepskin The cover, with its golden corners, smashed hard on that noble but deformed head!

Carlos II, who was being violent, fell down in response, Antonia was dumbfounded, and Mrs. Milady grinned: "It's a bit rude, but it's useful. Isn't it, Your Majesty the Queen?"

Antonia looked at her, and then hesitantly looked outside the door. There were servants and maids outside the door.

Lady Milady waited, and a few seconds later, she heard the little queen say in a trembling voice, "He's not dead, is he?"

"Murderers of the King are burned, gutted, and quartered," said Lady Milady, seemingly casually. "Yes, His Majesty is not dead."

The queen looked at her again.
