Chapter 434

No matter how close you are, there will be secrets in your heart.

In Windsor Castle, shack felt this sentence deeply for the first time.

He thought he knew everything about Lorraine's growth. He thought Lorraine had been interfered in his life by Helena.

But now it seems that

The Archbishop of Bellick is St. simwary Bellick, the holy seat of the Anglican Church, the leader of the Puritans and the only saint.

Shaq knew that he had a good relationship with Elia Drake, but he didn't know where their friendship began.

Shaq also knew that he was very kind to Lorraine. He went to Tavistock more than once and used almost deceptive and shameless means to convert Lorraine. For example... Children who believe in God can see the legendary candy house

The Archbishop's love for Lorraine was the most important support for Shaq's hatred of Helena. After all, if Helena hadn't obstructed such a holy and flawless elder, which child could refuse to join the arms of God?

But what about what happened at Westminster Abbey?

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

That should be the closest time Lorraine came to God, but he actually wrestled with the noble elder?

And the king and queen of England were watching when they fought. After the fight, Lorraine overturned the wall of Westminster Abbey

Is the world crazy?

Shack was suddenly frightened. 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 happily.

"I've always wondered how gentlemen such as Elia raised little Drake, a grumpy wild horse." George III said with a smile. "Do you know why Baker ran to Sudan? The cause of the whole incident is little Drake."

"His fleet went to Africa to expand its business. In Mombasa, he taught Portuguese slave traders a lesson at the door of their homes. He also forced them out of their home port and fled to the Sultanate for asylum."

"Maria was disgraced by this. The woman was originally a madman. This time she just went shirtless and wanted to tame the foal in her Majesty's honor."

"She sealed up little Drake's industry, abolished the trade license and said that Drake's chamber of Commerce was a pirate chamber of Commerce. While asking the minister to protest with me, she sent a fleet to beg for thieves."

"Who knows, two navigator class ships will be completely defeated by a privateer."

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

"He set up a lawyer group in Madrid, bringing together 25 of the best lawyers in Iberia, including 8 Portuguese. His lawyer group filed a lawsuit in Madrid, accusing Maria of practicing mountain bandit politics and illegally seizing the sacred property of legitimate businessmen."

George III winked at his wife: "a mountain thief, a pirate, Maria was forced to respond in the capital of old Charlie. If I wasn't afraid of causing diplomatic disputes, I really want to send an envoy to witness the trial to see if the pious Maria can continue to maintain her holy face in the dock."

Queen Charlotte listened with interest and couldn't help asking, "Maria herself has appeared in court?"

"Is there any difference?" George III waved his hands. "Her face is lost. Portugal's face is lost. The navigator level of 74 is the same as our cutting-edge Level 3, but the ability of the Portuguese governor has become a laughing stock all over the world."

"Their only fig leaf is that they won the first instance. Because of insufficient evidence, little Drake lost the first instance. But his luxury lawyers did not get nothing. They won six months, and the Madrid court promised to hold the second instance."

"Little Drake went to the Sultanate to collect evidence. He shelled the Sultanate's seaport all the way, destroyed their navy and blocked their capital."

"Civil strife broke out in the Sultanate under high pressure. The old Sudan was assassinated by the second prince, and the rebels killed the second prince. Then the fourth Prince succeeded to the throne. The eldest, third and fifth refused to accept it, and the whole Muscat was in a mess."

"It was at this time that little Drake invited Baker and our troops stationed in Africa. Only three soldiers died and sent the sixth prince to the throne of Sudan, which not only maintained world peace, but also earned considerable benefits for us."

"Little Drake also made a lot of money with this war. He took 197 sheltered slave traders from the prison of the Sudanese state, obtained the testimony of the Sudan, and the Sudanese embassy proved his innocence in Madrid."

"France, the Netherlands and Spain are also involved. A total of 11 gentlemen are willing to prove the bad behavior of the Portuguese in East Africa with their reputation. They are a great force, and one of them is a member of the golden wool knights."

"Now the time for the second instance has been set. The day after tomorrow, the court will still be held in Madrid. It is said that Portugal has prepared a real lawyer this time, but everyone knows that Maria has lost, and neither face nor lining can stay."

Queen Charlotte opened her mouth slightly: "how will this... End?"

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

"Don't worry, Maria is the king, and the king is bound in chains." he crossed himself, "The harder Maria falls, the more stable little Drake's business in Portugal will be. Maria can't do anything. The big deal is to exclude Drake's chamber of Commerce from the care of the policy, but the question is, when did the stingy Portuguese take care of foreign chambers of Commerce?"

"Really..." the queen flew a beautiful white eye. "It sounds like your majesty is happy this time. The English businessmen defeated the Portuguese Kingdom, just like history went back 200 years ago."

"No, Sophie, history has been moving forward. Our people will testify in court this time, and the complaint of the Portuguese against little Drake will be settled in the same court."

King George III knocked on the document in front of him: "Drake Qing, the testimony you brought will affect the face of England. Because of Maria's temper, she will bite back, so I need to know, is this investigation report really credible?"

The topic changed without warning.

Shaq returned to his position in an instant and immediately raised his chest: "please rest assured, your majesty, Drake chamber of Commerce provided the most detailed ship data, and Colonel Emmons observed the whole Muscat war. From the actual combat performance, there is almost no possibility of fraud in the report."

This conclusion made George III's mood suddenly fall into a complex state.

"A qualified nobleman should always know that there is a clear distinction between public and private." he frowned. "As a Navy veteran, Drake Ching, do you really think that a commercial patrol ship with less than 60 guns and no over limit firepower can defeat two powerful battleships with 74 doors?"

"Yes, she can, your majesty," replied Shaq firmly. "This is not my point of view alone, but the consensus of the whole department of the Navy."
