When she heard that her husband had been executed by a group of shameless traitors in public, Queen Mary fainted immediately, but she soon woke up with the help of smelling salt and strong wine, and then asked the messenger in detail about Charles I. The messenger later said that the queen held a silk handkerchief that wiped tears in one hand and a cross in the other. While praying for her husband, she firmly believed that she should be proud of her husband, because Charles I made the respectable gesture that a king should have, and did not defame his honor as a king, as a king of Scotland, England and Ireland, a father and a husband.

The rebels agreed that the king should be judged by a fair trial before he could be determined. Therefore, after being captured, Charles I was tried in Westminster Abbey in London. It is ironic that Westminster Abbey was also the place where the British king was crowned after the Reformation. Charles I did not recognize the legitimacy of this court. He refused to defend himself and did not admit any crime. However, fifty-nine of the last 135 special court members signed an order issued by the leader of the traitor, Cromwell, decided to execute the king - that is, the thugs, traitors, murderers and the enemies of the state.

On January 30, 1649, the respectable but unfortunate king was sent to the guillotine. It is said that he was not panicked, smiling, and even recited a poem calling himself a martyr of the people.

When they said this, the messenger couldn't help crying, and Queen Mary fainted again, but she insisted on treating and repaying the loyal man, which was not easy for them - they escaped from Paris in a hurry and empty-handed manner. In order to maintain the king's due dignity, Queen Mother Anne had already begun to secretly pawn her jewelry and clothes, and for a moment she could not take care of her husband's sister and niece.

If it were just like this, it would be fine, but soon there were disturbing rumors in the palace, and people whispered that Princess Henriett was a cruel person and she didn't even cry for her father.

This rumor is full of maliciousness. Henriett is only four years old. He is a child who can only cry when pushed out of a chair. She has never seen her father since she was born. Her only impression comes from dictation or a small portrait on a necklace. Children of this age may not be able to understand what death is, unless she has had another life.

But Louis could only remain silent because he knew that the rumors came from the mouth of the Queen Mother, that is, his mother Anne - some people were working hard to promote his marriage to Henriet, while Queen Mother Anne and Bishop Mazaran only wanted to keep France and Queen Navarra's positions as the most powerful bargaining chip in their hands. Yes, France does have many enemies, but there are also many people who hope to become their allies.

He knew that he should control himself with the reason of an adult, but he still couldn't help but feel irritated. The body of the ten-year-old boy was always filled with blood, which made him do many things that he couldn't understand, such as commanding Mary Mancini demonstrated the magic that was said to be able to resurrect the dead. Although he was also very clear that it was impossible to have such a spell, at least it could not appear in the wizards who were forced to hide from the sight of mortals. Their talents were commendable, but for the king to see it, they were just another form of mob.

But he still did this. When he fled overnight and encountered werewolf, he felt for the first time that death was so close to him. The king in reality was completely different from the king in fairy tales. He would be ignored by his ministers, deceived by his servants, searched and even executed by his people. Now he has to face dark creatures that should only appear in the nightmare. He urgently needs something that can make him feel at ease. Of course, he was ruthlessly ridiculed, and fate was not lenient to him.

But Louis was not without gains. At least he knew that Mazaran's bottom line was lower than he thought, and the family where Mary Mancini was might be more dangerous than he thought.

But danger often means strength.

Although they acted arrogantly, the king would absolutely not believe in saying that they really had no desire for worldly power.

Without attempts, they would not become in-laws with Mazaran. Look at Mary's age. Isn't Mazaran the time when Mazaran entered the Cardinal in 1642? They should have made the decision when Mazaran was recommended to Louis XIII by Richelieu. After all, after Marie De of Italy and Queen Mother Medici lost power, the only Italians closest to power in the palace were Jules Mazaran. They not only promoted marriage, but also sent Marie Mancini to Mazaran and acted as the maid of the Queen Mother, with clear intentions.

Louis thought Mazaran would not allow him to continue with Mary Mancini, but what he didn't expect was that Mazaran not only acquiesced to their relationship, but also intended to encourage them to go out and go around. Louis was at first unsure of his intentions, but later he met Queen Mary of England. It was obvious that Mr. Bishop's laissez--it was only a minority of the two evils. He was worried that the young Louis was encouraged or persuaded by Queen Mary.

Queen Mary was indeed sad. Louis also had great sympathy for her and Princess Henriett, but he did not think he could help her. He was far from power. Even if he could, why not order the Duke of Conde to regain Paris for him and eliminate the mobs, so as not to suffer hardship in Saint-Germain Leon.

She is destined to be disappointed.

But Louis's gentleness still comforted her. Unfortunately, with Queen Mother Anne and Mazaran, her Henriett could not become the Queen of France.

—————

Bishop Mazaran only brought a small gap in the curtain in front of the window. He looked at his little king, Louis stood in the courtyard, watching Queen Mary of England leave with regret, and felt comfort, sourness, and a hint of fear.

"Tell me," Queen Mother Anne couldn't help asking, "What made you worry so much? Mr. Bishop, is it my child, is it Louis?"

"Do you think he was instigated by someone?" Mazaran said: "No, your majesty, I can only say that I thought there could be no natural ruler...but I seem to be wrong."

"Are you blaming Louis?"
