The wood in the fireplace was burning, and the room was warm like spring.

Bieber-Thompson elegantly reads the transcript presented by Carmen, a previously unknown scholar with long sleeves who is now a powerful figure in the Liberal Party and a major supporter of Phonks.

Not long ago, he was transferred from Minister of Justice to Minister of the Interior, where he was specifically responsible for eliminating traitors and suppressing the opposition.

But Carmen didn't understand why the man was going to see him by name, which made him feel uneasy and thought that his identity as a conspirator had been revealed.

"The emperor is not reconciled. Thompson put the manuscript down in his hand, "He still lives in the so-called glory of the past, but he doesn't know that he will never go back." ”

"Your Excellency, I fully agree with your judgment. Carmen carefully complimented, "An old dynasty has become history, and a republic that truly belongs to all citizens has risen." ”

"Mr. Carmen, but I am not satisfied with the text you have recorded, rather than satisfied. ”

Thompson's words startled Carmen's heart, and he said, "Your Excellency, I don't quite understand what you mean?"

"This paper is full of self-defense of a prisoner, and I don't see the slightest hint of repentance. This is grossly out of proportion to the present situation, when the vast number of civilians have become the masters of the country, and they are joyfully free, and they are courageously taking up arms to fight against their former masters. And the old forces, led by Carlos II, are still unrepentant, so we must destroy them by violent revolutionary means, and our opponents are already trembling and begging for their lives. Thompson said.

His voice sounded sonorous and powerful, but it felt a chill in Carmen's ears.

In just two or three years, many people have lost their lives because of this elegant-looking figure, including Carmen's former colleagues.

"I see, Your Excellency. Carmel replied quickly, "This text is inadequate, and I seem to have forgotten to include something." ”

Thompson was pleased with Carmen's performance:

"Well, Mr. Carmen, I heard that you were born in Genoa?"

"Yes, I'm from Poitou, and many people know it. "Unfortunately, my hometown has become a land of rebels. ”

"It was a beautiful place. Thompson's complicated gaze flashed, "I also heard you know Sean Connery?"

"Everyone knows him in Poithu, and I'm no exception. And I graduated from the University of Poitou, and Sean Connery was the president of my alma mater. But you should know that I am fully for the Republic and am willing to sacrifice my life for freedom. ”

"Don't be nervous, young man. Thompson chuckled, "I just want to know what you personally think of Sean Connery." ”

"How?" said Carmen, trying to stay relaxed, "that's a very ambitious aristocrat. ”

"Oh, your judgment is very straightforward, and it surprised me quite a bit. Thompson's expression seemed a little surprised, "Could it be because he recently founded a civic party in the South?"

"No, I mean before, before the revolution happened. This man is very rich, he has been buying people's hearts, and almost everyone is willing to befriend him. We all know that if a person has an unblemished reputation, either that person is a saint or that person is the most hypocritical of all, Sean Connery clearly falls into the latter category.

As a nobleman, what has he been doing all these years? apart from buying the southerners, that is, mastering the army step by step, he seems to have foreseen the collapse of the empire early on, and prepared for it in advance. "As for the Civic Party, you see that their ideas and program are completely copied from our Liberal Party. ”

Now that it is clear that the Southerners, led by Sean Connery, are on our side, and some of us still have illusions about him that he is also in favor of the revolution, which is naïve. Revolution is a life-and-death struggle, and violence is the only effective means. Thompson asked, "Take your transcript away, it needs polish." ”

Carmen knew she was passing, but her underwear was already drenched in sweat.

In the days that followed, Carmen continued to visit Carlos II every day.

The guards were so wary of Carmel that they even removed the door, but Carmen was still very cautious.

Carlos II seems to have realized that his days are numbered, and he talks a lot, even a little verbose.

Carmen was the only listener.

"Frank Joseph was a shrewd man, I grew up watching him, but I never really trusted him. He thought he was hiding it deeply, hooking up with my eldest son, thinking I didn't know? The two of them had formed a group of honorary officers very early on, plotting big things, and apparently at the critical moment, this group was not very effective......"

"Frankly, I don't like Jean, even more so after his mother died. I confess that I was him because he went against my will and got involved with a dance teacher......"

"Philip would have been a good successor, but unfortunately he was too young and lacked experience, if I had made up my mind earlier......"

"Carmen, it is rumored that Sean Connery is Jean's illegitimate son, and to be honest, I don't dare to deny it 100%, when Jean, the rebel, actually sent someone to protect this bitch and escaped, and that bitch was pregnant at the time. I remember Sean Connery also had blonde hair?"

Speaking of which, Carlos II struggled to remember the only time he saw Sean.

Carmen whispered, "Your Majesty, it is true. But if you think that blonde hair is a distinguishing feature of royalty, I'm afraid it's a bit far-fetched, as far as I know, there are some non-royals who have blonde hair, albeit a few of them. ”

Carlos II seemed a little disappointed and muttered:

"In Sean Connery, I looked away, and a small Southern aristocrat actually became the climate. If he really has my Sauron family blood in him, it won't be a bad thing. ”

Carmen felt that the emperor had really reached the point of desperation, and regarded any possibility in favor of the imperial family as a lifesaver.

"Perhaps...... Probably......" Carmen's voice was inaudible, "Your Majesty, Count Connery asked me to tell you, if you have any ...... Last words, as long as he can do it, he will definitely do his best. ”

Carlos II laughed miserably, and suddenly grabbed Carmen by the collar, and whispered:

"If you see Earl Connery, tell him that the Liberals must not be allowed to end well, and as to who rules the country, Jean, Sean Connery, or whoever it is, it doesn't matter to me anymore.

Also, if possible, please make sure he finds my daughter and protects her for the rest of her life. ”
