This small twists and turns did not attract much attention, but some people laughed at the Duke of Cornwall for being too timid and fragile. However, Louis later saw the maid next to Princess Henrietta - because she fell at the king's feet at that time, he still had a little impression of her - Miss Blanke was not much older than Mary, but she had a slim figure and melancholy temperament that only adults had. Her appearance was not outstanding, but her dark maroon curly hair was beautiful.

Although she was still very young, she was much better than the naughty Marie Mancini in terms of how to serve noble people, and she knew how to win the favor of noble people. Henrietta did not like her at first because people always whispered, thinking that her fainting in front of the king was an extremely rude behavior. Some people suspected that she was intending to attract the public and attract the king's attention. Moreover, she was sent to Henrietta by the Duke of Cornwall, and she was inevitably suspected of using the waste - but within a few days, Henrietta was willing to let her follow her, so Louis saw her several times again, but the king did not like this child very much, not because of the previous misconduct, but because she was really not like a child.

Not to mention others, even kings occasionally want to do things that suit children's nature, such as hiding laziness and taking some time at a banquet.

Although His Majesty the King repeatedly stated that he would treat the Duke of Cornwall like he did, Charlie was still an outsider or even an enemy in the eyes of many French people, and his request also made the Bishop and the Queen Mother feel embarrassed. After all, the French royal family could not give him troops or funds to restore the country at this time, and they were in a precarious position. Gaston, Duke of Orleans, rejected the king's edict and remained in the territory of his daughter Duke Monsier, and only sent his daughter, who was called the "Great Princess" to Paris as a hostage or a substitute for comforting the royal family.

We have said before that the first marriage of His Royal Highness Gaston was forced to be completed by Cardinal Richelieu and his mother Marie de Medici. Although the Bourbon (sidual) lady brought a generous dowry, that is, Montsier, he was still full of disgust for him, and this disgust even continued to their daughter. Although the princess was full of admiration for this irresponsible father, he not only never cared for this poor child, but also constantly interfered and intervened after she inherited the territory of her mother Montsier. Now he sent her to Paris again - everyone knows that Paris is like purgatory, and it is hard to say whether it contains real and terrible malice.

Queen Mother Anne had some mercy on the Duke of Montsier. In any case, the Duke of Orleans married Margaret Lorraine, the sister of the Duke of Lorraine in 1632. The Duke of Montsier, who was only 5 years old, was abandoned in the palace in Paris. The Duke of Orleans never mentioned taking her back, just as if she had no daughter at all, until Louis XIII passed away and forced him to take her back.

In those years, the Duke of Montsier lived a very difficult life in the palace, because everyone knew that she was a traitor's daughter. The rebelliousness of Gaston, the Duke of Orleans, was beyond words. He was never too lazy to hide it, and of course he didn't care how much malicious his daughter would be treated. Fortunately, the Queen Mother Anne had no children at that time, and the young Duke could not help but aroused her loving mother's heart. This feeling continued until the Duke left the court. Some people also said that Louis XIII also wanted to match the marriage between the new Prince Louis and the Duke of Montsier, because the Duke of Montsier once stood by the cradle of Little Louis and laughed at him as "my little husband."

However, it is also possible that this is the reason why the Duke of Monsier was forcibly driven out of the court (although Louis XIII was just smiling at that time). Louis was born in 1938 and the Duke of Monsier was born in 1927. The difference between the two was eleven years. If age was second, then the Duke of Monsier was already so annoyed by Louis XIII. He would never let his son marry the daughter of the Duke of Orleans. Moreover, the Duke of Monsier had nothing but inherited from his mother's territory. According to Salik's inheritance law, the title and land of the Duke of Orleans would only be left to his son Jean. If Jean died prematurely, the heir would become Philip, the second son of Louis XIII.

The Duke of Monsier was only sixteen years old when he left the court, and now he was twenty-two years old. It is logical that a girl of this age should have been married and had children long ago, but her father, the Duke of Orleans, regarded Monsier as her own territory and would not allow her to marry with her territory. After leaving the palace, she could rarely see a suitable suitor. Although the Queen Mother, with such compassion, was angry at the Duke of Orleans, she was also preparing to find a sincere husband in the court for the Duke of Monsier.

Of course, there is also some meaning of trading and self-interest, but for the Duchess of Monsier, this is really a great opportunity.

Everyone thought so. At the banquet held by the Queen Mother, the young and handsome men were shuttled back and forth like salmon in the sea, showing their heroic physique and graceful posture. When they were dancing, the king who had been there for an hour or two could finally leave temporarily, but he did not stay in the room, but took advantage of the busy maids and came to the courtyard of Richelieu's residence alone.

The courtyard of Richelieu's residence is of course much smaller than that of the Dullery Palace Garden, but in the dark, the laurel branches and leaves drooping low, and the last batch of yellow flowers as big as rice grains reveal fragrance, which is also refreshing. Louis saw several tiny spots of light coiled and flashing. When he walked over, he realized that it was Marie Mancini who was playing with a group of little fairies.

This was the first time Louis saw a little fairy. They were about the same size as dragonflies, with human faces and bodies. The wings behind them were thin and transparent. The frequency of vibration was fast, and shining scales kept falling from above. As soon as Louis's footsteps came, they immediately escaped without a trace.

Mary then realized that someone was approaching. She quickly patted her hands on her skirt and stood up. She felt a little relaxed when she saw that it was Louis.

She looked over and found that there was no one except Louis, "How did you come back here?"

Louis was too lazy to correct her manners, "The room was too stuffy." He said, walking over and sitting directly under the laurel, which was a thick layer of fallen flowers, like a soft blanket. "And it's not a kitchen." Mary smiled, knowing that he was referring to them when they were in Versailles.

Louis noticed that she obviously hesitated when she sat next to her, and her expression was a little unnatural.

After a while, Mary didn't speak.

"What was that just now?" Louis had to open the topic. "Is it the little fairy you mentioned?"

"Yes." Mary said "you want to see them?"

"Can you?"

"You are still a child, you can," Mary said bluntly, while chanting the spell softly, rather than saying it was a spell. A few minutes later, Louis heard a weak echo, and several fairies poked their heads from behind the bay leaves and looked at them curiously.

After waiting for a while, they finally returned to Mary. Mary gave some candy cubes to the king, so some bold little fairies also walked up to the king to share the candy cubes.

The little fairy's light illuminated Louis's side face. Mary looked at him and couldn't help but remember the secret she heard from her father and uncle.

She was sent to the palace, as her father said, not to be a witch, but to be a noble wife... She didn't know what kind of person could meet the conditions given by her father, but she... she said, isn't there a gentle and friendly good person around her?

Even if he knew that she was a witch, he was not afraid or stayed away from her.

If she were asked to marry Louis, she would not be unwilling to do so.
