I Am Louis XIV

Theodric sighed.

When you plant a seed, you know it will bear fruit. The two riots of the Fronde have destroyed the glory of the once prosperous and powerful France. Foreign and domestic careerists are even more eyeing the Bourbon royal family, and even ignore the agreement with the other world and drive werewolves and wizards to assassinate the mortal king. As for Louis XIV, he knew the existence of the other world prematurely.

The king is young and vigorous, and has amazing courage and courage. If it were twenty years later, he might have dealt with Nofeile and the wizards of Caiola Island headed by Mancini more appropriately, but These words are meaningless. The fact is that maybe it was not Louis XIV who opened the secret, but it was definitely the Sun King who completely tore it off.

His light burned the creatures in the shadows, forcing them to make a desperate move. The Spanish black wizards and vampires united to assassinate him once, and now it is the second time, but this should be a personal act of the Mokawi clan. The first thing was not wrong for Malkawi. After all, Spain still belonged to Carlos II of Habsburg at that time, and Louis XIV was their enemy. However, times have changed, and what is extremely ironic is that Malkawi Wei is about to usher in a ruler who was once assassinated by them.

It is not surprising that Prince Uriel of Morkawi would be worried about this. With Nophele at the front, why couldn't Louis XIV expel another blood clan from his territory again? Unless there is a reason why he cannot do so.

And this reason is behind Theodric. At this time, there is no need to mention the boundary between the inner world and the outer world - the Zmich parents of the Sabbat, Amon, also directly asked the young man without any scruples. Louis XIV issued an invitation - although it was unsuccessful due to Theodric's intervention, Amon did not do this purely out of individual willfulness. If Louis XIV was really transformed into a descendant by him, then what would he do? Theodric was immediately pronounced dead and succeeded by his brother Philip. But if the new king still has some true feelings for his brother, then Zmich, who had lost his ancestral land at that time, is likely to return to Livonia with the support of France, or get a new territory from the king. Territory as ancestral land.

After all, France is so... big, right?

Prince Uriel and Amon had the same plan. Everyone knew how close Louis XIV was to his brother, the Duke of Orleans, and valued him. It could even be said to be indulgent. It was not the kind of indulgence towards children or women. He regarded him as a younger brother, as well as a general and minister. In the past, the king's younger brothers, such as Gaston and York, had always been deeply feared by the king. Not to mention their achievements, even their close interactions with ministers would cause The king's anger is very likely to cause him to be thrown into the Tower of London or the Bastille. The worst thing is to have his head chopped off by His Majesty the King on a trumped-up or real crime.

But if one-tenth of Louis XIV's love for the Duke of Orleans is true, then Makavi can continue to retain his ancestral land in Toledo.

"No," Theodric said, "It's not just that." He said that he was also the head of the clan. Although he had not yet left any descendants worthy of being entrusted, he was once a descendant of the previous head of the family, so of course he knew. How much power does "Father" have over his descendants? This power is not based on force, wisdom and power that may change at any time, but directly runs through the body and soul. Although it cannot be said to be a puppet, as long as it is transformed into a descendant, the Duke of Orleans He will inevitably have an irresistible admiration for the parent who transformed him, and then obey him regardless of anything and accept any arrangement he makes.

This kind of control is especially obvious in the early stages of transformation, and is also to ensure that the descendants will not escape privately before the end of "learning" and cause unnecessary chaos. What is important is that this process can take as little as ten years or as many as hundreds of years. As for Louis XIV, even though the Sun King was powerful, he was still a mortal. If he could last for fifty years, he was considered to have lived a long life... What about fifty years later? When his brother passed away and human emotions were buried six feet under, Philippe, Duke of Orleans, really only belonged to Malkavi.

"Now that you know that," Uriel said, "you should understand that I am determined to win."

"You should know that your actions will bring the wrath of Louis XIV."

"As long as he doesn't care that this rage will also burn his brother to death."

"It seems there is no room for negotiation anymore," Theodric said.

The Duke of Orleans felt his men's fur stand up, so he immediately took a step back and leaned against the side of the ship. As expected, Prince Uriel of Malkavi soared into the air in the next moment, and countless cries suddenly rang out in the thick fog. Low and sharp noises - there is no contradiction. They are vague and absent, but they can penetrate people's heads. Only by holding his own throat can the Duke hold back the urge to vomit and scream.

A pair of hands gently grasped the Duke's shoulders.

The Duke of Orleans' first thought was to kill himself. He still held the squire's musket in his hand, perhaps because he felt that it was impossible for such a human weapon to harm a vampire, neither Prince Uriel nor Prince Theodric. He didn't care, but then the Duke saw a somewhat unfamiliar but impressive face - the face of a smiling young man, Prince Amon.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but the fog surrounding the Duke suddenly became crazy, but Amon just gently lifted the Duke up, threw him out, and threw him into the sea.

The sea water was cold, but for Mokavi, who transformed into a moth, they were not so willing to enter the water, because the wings of moths would get wet, sticky and shrunk as soon as they touched the water. Prince Amon then jumped down , stretched out an arm to take the duke.

In the deep black water, mortals could not see anything, but the vampires had no problem at all. Amon and the Duke swam through the deep sea water for about eight or nine hundred feet as if through a glass tunnel. After finally getting rid of the influence of the "ghost lamp" held by Uriel of Mokavi, he lifted the Duke up as easily as lifting a doll and handed him to Ci on another ship. Mihi people.

"Enter our distinguished guests well." Amon said with a smile. His hair and clothes were not damp and wrinkled at all. Even if someone said that he had just come out of the banquet at the Palace of Versailles, some would believe that his descendants would The Duke of Orleans took him and pushed him into the stern room. The Duke only turned his head when the door opened and saw that the Prince was transforming into a large group of small black bats and swooping towards the white moths.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Although Prince Uriel is also very powerful," a vampire said, "but his opponents are his father and Prince Theodric."

On the "Escudo", the Duke certainly has the best room, but compared with the ships of the vampires, the mortal ships are not worth mentioning. At least for the Duke, the room at the stern of the ship is almost the same as his. The bedrooms in the Palace of Versailles are not much different. There is even a bathroom attached. The gold-plated faucet on the bathtub can also spurt out hot water when turned on.

According to the information received by the Duke, the vampires of Zmich should be a group of crazy, unscrupulous lunatics, and for the vampires, humans are just food, but these vampire attendants behaved as if they were entertaining a group of people. As a blood prince, the Duke secretly thought, either the Tsimixi clan is not as bad as their reputation, or Amon's status in the Tsimixi has no room for perfunctory, argument and questioning.

He suddenly laughed, and a vampire who was combing and massaging his hair asked curiously: "Can I know what you are laughing at? An Escudo."

"You can give me a gold Louis," the Duke said. Since Louis began to mint French currency to replace Spanish currency - before, France had more currency in circulation than Spanish currency. As the prince's brother and minister, the Duke of Orleans certainly led by example. No matter when, there are only French copper coins, silver coins and gold coins in the purse. "I am just surprised. I am just a mortal, but I have such an adventure."

"Indeed," the attendant of the vampire family said: "We have almost never seen the battle of the three princes." He felt that the Duke did not say what he really thought, but since Prince Amon has said, "This is a "Distinguished guests", as attendants, of course they cannot be aggressive with the prince's guests.

What the Duke thought was that if his brother brought a pig to the Hall of Venus or the Hall of Jupiter and declared it a guest of the king, all the dignitaries would bow to the pig and say hello to it.

But now he is the pig.

Although thoughtful, the vampires wanted to serve someone very quickly. The Duke could hardly see how they moved. It seemed as if just a few breezes passed through him, and he was taken care of cleanly and beautifully. Beautiful and bright, the Duke is indeed the most well-groomed and elegant member of the Bourbon family. Even if there are a group of Zimmies here, they would not feel aggrieved to serve such a human being.

"Do you want to rest, or..." a vampire asked.

The Duke of Orleans shook his head. "Can I go to the deck?"

"Okay," the vampire attendant said, "but you may not be able to see anything."

The Duke of Orleans was still wondering why the young vampires didn't go to the deck to watch the battle between the three powerful vampires. When he came to the deck, he found that the surroundings were still occupied by darkness and fog - if the attendants beside him raised the lamp, then The light would only illuminate the fog, and if they turned it out, all they would feel was darkness.

However, the Duke could still roughly feel the aftermath of the battle between the three princes. It was a feeling that is difficult to describe, like a bell or a vibration coming from a very far away place. "You are a keen person," The blood clan attendant said: "If you become one of our clansmen, you will definitely be an extraordinary being."

"I think I must say so," responded the Duke: "It is a great honor, sir."

"It's a pity that your brother will never allow such a thing to happen." The vampire attendant said. It seems that he is still liked by Amon and knows more things than other vampires. He used his pair of crimson Staring at the Duke: "It's such a pity that we can't go against your brother's wishes. Anyway, Your Highness, he regained the ancestral land for Zmich."
