Chapter 98

In the fireplace, when the firewood was burning, there was a crackling sound, and the warm yellow light. On the people at the door, when the minstrel plucked the strings, the shadow in front of the king was no longer blurred.

The best queen of Keya, the queen mother of Legrand.

His mother.

For more than ten years, the Duke of Buckingham kept a secret that he could not tell. He guarded the crazy queen mother, which was the protection of the king and the Queen Mother He just waited for the crazy queen to wake up one day and let the king have a mother.

This is the last gift that the Duke of Buckingham left him.

He did all he could for the king.

The king sat on the ground. He looked up and couldn't tell for a moment whether everything was unreal or real, sour or breathless All the complex and unspeakable emotions are surging in.

The queen mother of Eleanor, with black hair and green eyes, came and tears fell down her thin face.

She half knelt down in front of the king and held him in her arms. She once lost the world, but now she has everything again. This is her child, her little purland.

Fate is too cruel for them.

Elinor put her forehead on the king's silver hair, and her hands, which had picked up spears from the blood and sharpened iron pieces into sharp blades, trembled. Her lips trembled and she couldn't say a word for a long time. When looking at the king in the Rose Palace, Eleanor once thought about how to speak when she saw her child.

She thought so much, but now she can't say a word.

Fate is unfair to the family.

Her child was supposed to be the most honorable king in the world, but he was sitting on the floor beside the table, holding the letter, sad that he was just a child who had lost too much.

"My child, my little purland..." Elinor finally choked, hugging him tightly and whispering, "I'm here, I'm here."

So, there is no need to suppress the sadness, someone will wipe away your tears when you shed tears, hug you tightly, do not let you be attacked by the cold wind.

"He's gone."

Said the king hoarsely.

Gone forever, never come back.

His tears finally came down.

A warm enough embrace, a pair of shaking hands, a lost and recovered mother After so many years of struggling to survive in hatred and cold, someone finally taught him how to let tears fall when he was so sad. At this moment, he was like all the children who lost their loved ones.

One hand gently patted him on the back, as gentle as the vague memory.

The Queen Mother's black hair fell on the king's silver hair, and she held her child tightly.

Like a newborn baby, she sang the familiar melody in the warm fireplace fire. She used to hum this melody to make the king who wanted to see her father fall asleep. Now she hums this melody again, hoping to soothe the sadness in her child's heart.

The night shrouded the earth and the crows started flying.

All parting, all meeting, all sadness All through the long night.

South East of Legrand, port of kossia.

Today's captain Hawkins is quieter than ever. The young sailors on board raise their glasses to celebrate in secret. At last, they don't have to suffer from their crazy captain, but some of the older pirates are silent.

Captain Hawkins, wearing a black hat, was sitting alone on the rail of the bow deck. His back looked like he was going to commit suicide by jumping into the sea. He was holding a bottle in his hand and was looking up to try to pour more wine out. After two shakes, two drops of wine fell into captain Hawkins's mouth. With a "tut", he threw the bottle into the sea.

The witch shrouded in the black skirt. She looked at the captain, who was not in the first mate's presence, but was rarely quiet, and did not disturb him.

Wheel, wheel.

A bucket rolled to the witch's feet and flicked upward.

The witch understood that it was Jennie who wanted to talk to her.

The contract she signed with Jennie is different from others. She is the only one who can communicate with Jennie directly.

The witch reached out her hand and pressed it on the railing.

Jennie's voice sounded in her mind: "grela, grela That bastard who almost burned my sail Duke Buckingham, can't he come again? "

The witch was a little stunned. Jennie was always like a little girl. She didn't expect that Jennie would be keenly aware of these.

"Like William?"

The witch looked up at captain Hawkins, who was drinking for herself, and answered in a low voice.

All of a sudden, the sails of the ship drooped listlessly and no longer floated up.

The sea wind blew all night, and captain Hawkins sat on the railing and drank all night. When it was just dawn in the East, he stood up and staggered from the railing and fell into the sea, splashing high water.The pirate who came to clean the deck in the morning just saw him. He thought his captain was crazy again and went to sea to wash his head.

With a wry smile, the witch asked people to quickly take captain Hawkins out of the sea.

………………

Rose Palace.

Just rising sun, light fell on the magnificent palace Castle spire. The king and queen Elinor stood together in the stone pavilion where the Duke of Buckingham and the king took a walk.

Winter has gone, the temperature is higher than outside the Rose Palace, rose has begun to recover. The rose vines coiled around the stone pavilion had begun to spit out a little green buds at this time. The king, in his scarlet cloak, reached for the railing, and he had repressed his emotions.

Queen Elinor looked at her child.

Time passed quickly. In the time when she failed to participate, her child had grown up as strong as his father.

Always bear in mind their own responsibilities as monarchs, restrain themselves from drowning in grief.

"Time flies. You've grown up."

The queen mother showed a complicated smile.

According to the original secret law, the soul of the king exists on both sides of the world. However, the baptism of the holy court made the king's soul carry the breath of the Holy Spirit. In addition to the various illusions she saw at that time, she mistakenly thought that the secret method had failed and the king had been replaced by the Holy Spirit.

If she hadn't been crazy for so many years, would her children live a more relaxed and happy life?

She didn't do her duty as a mother. She didn't block the wind and rain for her children.

The king noticed the remorse hidden in the Queen Mother's voice.

He turned and looked at his mother.

"No The king gave her a gentle hug. "You have saved me many times."

In the last letter left by the Duke of Buckingham, he told the king the reason why queen Elinor had been insane for so many years - she had witnessed her children die again and again in front of her.

When he saw that, the king understood everything.

When he was "Zhu Chi", he would have nightmares again and again, but when he woke up, he would forget what he had done in the dream, leaving only a kind of weakness and anger. When the Holy See used the secret of baptism to assassinate, he got the answer from the devil: that's the power of the secret of baptism.

He remembered everything yesterday.

All nightmares are one thing He was in all kinds of danger, and he faced death again and again.

"You saved me."

The king repeated.

"Again and again."

In those nightmares, he felt so weak, he felt that the whole world wanted to kill him, he was a person out of place for the world. But every time, there will be a voice, there is a figure dead to hold him in the dark.

It is because of the voice, the hands, he did not lose himself in the constant cycle of nightmares, only to struggle to survive again and again.

Before he forgot, before he didn't know what it was.

Now he knows.

In the dream again and again protected his It's the crazy mother who lost him.

In her painful dream, she saw her child in danger again and again, so she stretched out her hand again and again to try to hold him. Across the world, across such a long and distant time and space, love goes through time and space, such as the wings of the goshawk, protecting the safe growth of her chicks.

The king finally understood why he wanted to survive by all means.

Because he is not hated by the world, he is also loved by people.

He's coming back. He's going back to Legrand.

Here are all his relatives, here is his country, his land.

"Are you going back to Keya?" The king asked his mother, "I met a minstrel. They still miss you. If they knew you were alive, they would be very happy."

Elinor trims the king's collar. She looks at her son who didn't get a close look yesterday. His blue eyes are the same as William III's. He as like as two peas, his father is not good at expressing himself, and he is not good at facing soft feelings.

The Empress Dowager understood that the king was trying to remove her guilt.

She shook her head: "I can't go back now. In the eyes of the world, I have passed away. If I show up rashly, it will bring them trouble. And I will defend your kingdom in the shadow, you are the only king of Legrand. "

Her voice was soft and irresistible.

The housekeeper stopped at a distance from the mother and son who finally met. He looked at the former hostess of the palace. His eyes were slightly moist. He murmured, "that's nice."

Good. At least not everything left.

"Come here."

The king noticed the arrival of the housekeeper.The housekeeper is here to report on the preparations for the funeral of the Duke of Buckingham.

It will be a funeral and a declaration of war.
