Her Majesty
Chapter 51:Her Majesty
Through the narrow high windows of the terrace, the sun shines on the ground, reflecting the dark red stripes on the walls.
There is not much left in the whole kingdom to see the sunset, and the port of Bishui is one of them.Legend has it that the demony moon, which is covered by heavy snow and cold wind, has had minimal impact on this place, except that the Black Sail fleet cannot leave the port, and the whole city is still as busy as it is in peacetime.
And the owner of this harbor capital, Garcia Wimbledon, was sitting at the square table under the window, looking earnestly at the letters in his hand.Her gray hair was dyed a pinch of gold in the sunset, and the light and dark staggered face light and shadow set off her angular five senses, unique and full of charm.
Farion had been standing by her for a while.
Although the letter took longer than she normally read credit, Furian chose to wait quietly—he didn’t want to interrupt it himself.
In the end, Garcia sighed softly and put the letter down.
"The father is dead."
Farion nodded, “What?”
"My father, Elin Wimbledon, the king of the Greysburgs, is dead."
She rarely repeated what she had said, and he thought that if she asked herself that, she would only see it as nothing.Was she really kidding?The king is dead?
“...” Farion opened his mouth, trying to comfort her with a few words, and said that the exit became an inquiry, “How did you die?”
Fortunately, Garcia did not care about this - she was the third royal daughter of the kingdom, the lord of the port of Bishhui, the supreme commander of the black sail fleet, and did not need any comfort," said the letter, my brother Golon killed his father, and then was taken away by himself.He committed suicide without fear, so he was sentenced to be beheading by the king's hand and several other ministers."
“It’s not normal,” Farion subconsciously said.
"Of course it's not normal," said Garcia, expressionless, "my brother, though he's stupid, but he's not stupid enough to die."If no one leads, he cannot do such a thing.”
“Has anyone trapped him?”
"Let me guess ..." the three princesses closed their eyes, "probably someone arranged a detailed plan, tempting him to say that he was willing to help him get into the king's inner court - if you want to bring people into the inner court of the royal city, you must have someone to arrange in advance, including eradication, exchange and purchase."But that wasn’t what Goron was good at, or that he didn’t bother to do these trifles.The rest was simple, and the man who laid out the plan trusted him, but betrayed him in the end."
Farion is not sure, these are ultimately guesses, how the process is not important, the key is the result.He believed that the Third Lady thought so too.
Sure enough, Garcia continued, “There are no ten of these people and nine of them in the great prince, who have brute force, have muscles in their heads, and it is normal to be played by people.But . . . here she carried a little anger in her tone, "my brother's means are too rough."
"You mean that Tifeco Wimbledon did it?"
“Who else knows Golon so well?”Who is the best thing for you after this?”Garcia's finger was unconsciously tapping on the tabletop, "It's almost like the blind can see it!"However, by the father's preference for him alone, he does not have to do this at all!"
His Highness was angry, and Farion realized that it was rare for the three royal daughters to show such a look.It seems that although she has always complained that Wimbledon III is too eccentric, she does not want her father to end up like this after all.
This feeling Farion could more or less understand that in the extended family, the feeling that the homeowner always felt to the next generation—a mountain that wanted to be crossed, both in awe and abhorred.If she is right, this is the work of the two princes, then his actions are indeed cruel.
“But... why did he do that?”
"Because he's afraid of me," said Garcia, taking a deep breath, as if to control his emotions, "he's afraid of the black sail."
Seeing that Farion did not answer, she went on to explain, "It is not surprising that Tifeko has eyeliner in the port of Bishui, just as I have arranged my eyes and ears in Jinsui City and Wang.Knowing the existence of the Black Sail Fleet, it was easy to think of what I would do next, and it was impossible for the city of Jinsui to raise an army that could fight the black sails.So he used the stupidest way to get Golon as bait for what he wanted."
“You mean he wants an army?”
"He wants the throne," said Garcia, "and after Golon's death he is the first heir, and his father is dead, and he is at this moment on his way to the royal capital."As long as he could become Wimbledon IV, he could mobilize vassals and armies without territorial restrictions.”At this point she shook her head, "But, as I said, as my father's favorite son, he doesn't have to be like that."
"Isn't that bad," said Farion, "and if the two princes are crowned and declare the end of the battle, what will they order you to return to the royal city?"
Garcia disdainned, "This step went too bluntly, and his father preferred that he would not support him on behalf of all ministers, especially in the plot of the king - although Tfico pushed it to Golon, he would also fool the common people of the kingdom, who wanted to fully control the gray castle, and it would take a long time."So..." She looked at Faryn, "I've got to change my plan a little."
Farion immediately got down on one knee and said, "May you send for you."
Garcia got up, went to the window, and turned his back to Farion, "the first time he will deal with me after he ascended the throne, but all he can do is to order Joey Cole, the Duke of the South, to put pressure on me."The latter is expected to use the king's death, and it is not appropriate to use the military as an excuse to push the army during the national mourning - the old fox has always been unwilling to do a loss-making trade.At most, the vassals were gathered to look around the border of the port of Bi Shui, and the three princesses paused a little, "but these actions will cause us unnecessary trouble, so we will set sail tomorrow."
“The voyage?“Your Highness, do you want to?”
"The eagle city is almost an undefended city because it is in the inland of the kingdom.It is possible to reach the town of Qingquan through the tributary of the Three Bay Rivers, so it takes only one day to get to the Eagle City.After Joey is taken down, the whole South will be under my control.It was an interesting time difference, and when he sat on the throne and tried to direct the Duke of Joey, he found that the whole southern frontier had become my turf, and he did not know what the expression would be.
"But, as you say, Wimbledon III has just passed away, and so--"
“Do I need to cry first?”Garcia turned around and fell into the sea level line at sunset covered her with a purple-red light yarn.Her face was hidden in the darkness, and only her eyes burst into a small light.The eyes were as strong as a rock, and Farion thought, even if there was anger and regret in it, there would never be sorrow.
Sadness is not for the king.
“No, you don’t need to,” he said seriously.
Garcia nodded with satisfaction, “Go ahead and call the captains to me.”Since Tifeko is not willing to wait until five years later, I will not disappoint him.After the eagle city, the whole South will be independent.”
It didn’t matter what Tfecco did, he thought, she could always find a way to suit herself in the vagaries of the situation, and once she had decided, she would go forward.This is her charm, and the reason why she has followed it.
"Follow your orders, Your Highness . . . no," continued Farion, "Her Majesty the Queen."
