Clayland left, connected for several months without any news, the Duke of Cornwall gradually became anxious from calm, and he had less freedom than Louis and could hardly leave the room. The English clothes were also put away and replaced with French clothing--not that any French would recognize him and do anything irrational.

This is also impossible. Britain and France have always been political and religious rivals. In recent decades, they have been economically elbowed to each other. Both countries can be said to rely on commerce to fill the treasury to protect their domestic agriculture and industry. In India, they fought for cotton and textiles. In the northern Atlantic Ocean, fish became their capital to show off their achievements. In North America, the fur of wild beasts became their targets of scruples. In western Africa, they plundered as many slaves as possible and sent them to sugarcane plantations distributed in the West Indies.

To what extent does such a battle have become? To put it simply, there is an island on the Caribbean Sea, with a length of about 7 taels and a width of only 2 taels. On such a small island, the British and the French have fought more than three times in order to compete for its ownership.

If the Duke of Cornwall had not been desperate, he would never want Paris to be surrounded by enemies. Even if Louis was willing to make his promise, he would be worried if anyone would crawl into the room at night to cut his throat.

What Breyland encountered before leaving made him even more worried. He intended to summon wizards in the English court, but gave up because Paris is now full of monks and priests. Louis could boldly protect Breyland, but he could not. After all, since Henry VIII rebelled from the church, established the Anglican Church, and held the power of the church and the royal power in his hands, the British king was a group of damn pagans in the eyes of the church. If it were not for the purpose of fighting against those dark forces, even the Inquisition would have completely evacuated the Isle of Great Britain after Henry VIII's Reformation.

In order to calm the heart of the poor future king, Louis often invited him to dance, play cards and enjoy food. In addition to dancing, the Duke of Cornwall did find a lot of fun in playing cards and enjoying food, because Louis always lost to him when playing cards - that is, their previous agreement, Louis lost a total of about four thousand golds to the Duke of Cornwall, enough for all his expenses on his way back to England. As for enjoying food, the Duke of Cornwall's round cheeks despite his daily frowning and grimy faces, which was all about him--that he said that the young French king had committed at least two sins, but who cares about him, here he tasted many things he had never seen or heard of before, and even those familiar with him showed different appearances because of the fresh ingredients and the exquisite ingredients.

And he could feel that Louis' attitude towards him was entirely from his original intention, not pretending or disguising. He deeply felt the other party's kindness and only hated that he could not repay it for the time being.

Fortunately, before the severe winter enveloped the port, Breyland finally returned to the Duke of Cornwall. He brought good news. The members of the Scottish Presbyterian Church and some English nobles were willing to support Charlie and support him to return to the country to ascend the throne. This made the Duke of Cornwall finally return to his original optimistic and cheerful appearance. At the card table, he even joked with Louis, "Your Majesty," he said: "I am certainly grateful for your generous help, but if you pay it back, it is simply a shame and our affection. In this way, you might as well tell me, do you have anything you need to do? As long as I can do, I will do my best to achieve it for you."

"Thus," Louis said in a joke, "I may need a port, preferably closer to Paris and closer to you, so that I can see you on a boat at any time, and you can see me on a boat at any time."

"If that's what you want," said the Duke of Cornwall generously: "Well, I swear, I will repay the debt I owed you ten times."

There are no secrets in the palace. Although Queen Mother Anne and Bishop Mazaran heard about it, they just smiled. After all, one was just an eleven-year-old child, while the other was the crown prince who was in exile. Their fate was unpredictable, and no one knew how many such jokes could become reality.

—————

The Duke of Cornwall left on the coldest day, and when he left, he finally took off the French clothes and changed into the English clothes. The beaver leather cloak that Louis gave him was wrapped outside, so as not to attract others' attention. Breyland and several guards as tall as him guarded the crown prince away - it is worth noting that these guards still did not ride horses this time.
