Edward whispered a word, and then didn't say anything more.

It was a rare occasion for the king to be able to coax the maid a little, and it was also because the sisters Lucy and Luna had grown up with him, otherwise he would not have been willing to keep his voice down.

Sister Lucy was also sensible, and after checking it out, and seeing that Edward was fine, she patted her chest and recovered.

After that, one after another, nobles came to ask for a meeting, but Edward also refused one by one, and after recruiting the imperial doctor, he directly asked him to keep his mouth shut and not say anything.

The imperial doctor walked out of the bedroom, faced the questioning of the nobles, withstood the pressure, and said nothing, which just verified the biggest conjecture in the hearts of the nobles.

And Guy Guy, the leader of the Dark Blades, also obeyed Edward's orders and publicized Edward's illness in Spain, as serious as it was.

Use a huge intelligence system to let the King of Spain know that his son needs a wife.

After that, Princess Elizabeth and Princess Mary also rushed over with a worried face, and came to see Edward, who was still a little touched in his heart.

Truth be told, before Edward's birth, Princess Mary was originally the first heir to the throne of England, and her mother was the aunt of King Charles V of Spain, known as Catherine of Aragon.

At the age of nine, she was made the Lady of Wales, the title of the crown prince.

But the good times did not last long, Catherine divorced Henry VIII, and she was disgusted by Henry VIII and refused to recognize her as heir.

Princess Elizabeth's mother, Queen Anne, was finally executed, and she was directly referred to as an illegitimate daughter by Henry VIII, who could only be called "Elizabeth. Miss Tudor".

Wait until Edward's mother, Jane. Seymour became queen, and she moved the two princesses into the palace and improved their environment.

In the end, it was Queen Catherine who completely unfroze the relationship between the father and daughter, and even after the death of Henry VIII, their names appeared among the heirs.

After Edward's birth, the two of them remained in the royal palace, and Henry VIII made them Edward's maids to serve him.

It can be said that Edward was taken care of by the two of them, and it is not normal to have no feelings.

Edward couldn't be like a maid in this regard, he almost exhausted all his strength, and he didn't know how many times he explained before he reassured the two princesses.

And little Lori was hidden, not at all.

At this time, outside Whitehall House, London, York, and Southampton, news of the king's health was intermittently circulating, and on the whole Edward controlled it well, and did not cause any riots.

However, in Spain, Darkblade's publicity in various bars in Spain spread Edward's illness throughout Spain overnight.

Madrid, which devours a steady stream of gold and silver from the Americas every day, and then absorbs vast luxury goods from all over the world, has created a prosperous scene.

And prosperity for civilians is nothing more than a chance to give them a breather.

In order to maintain a large army and navy, and more importantly, to satisfy the luxurious life of the royal family and nobles, Charles I increased increasingly heavy taxes to ordinary commoners.

The reason why there has been no riot in Spain at present is that the arrival of gold ships returning from the Americas and merchant ships to meet the luxury goods of the nobles has given Spain a continuous life.

The second reason is that Catholicism firmly controls the minds of the Spaniards and stifles their consciousness of riots.

Spain currently has two capitals, Toledo in the Kingdom of Castile and Zaragoza in the Kingdom of Aragon, but Charles I was fond of Madrid and spent most of his time there.

Relying on the business of the royal family and the aristocracy, Madrid is now a well-known and prosperous city in Europe.

A gold ship from South America slowly stopped in Madrid, and later, court officials sent by the royal family with laborers counted the ship's gold and silver.

The sailors on the ship, however, disembarked directly from the ship, ran to the nearest tavern, and began a period of drunken dreams.

After months at sea, the levelers have a swelling of pockets and a desperate need to vent, and the tavern is the best place to vent.

Groups of sailors, dressed in stinking clothes, smiled and arrived at the largest tavern in the port, which was also frequented by sailors.

Kas is one of them.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the nobles collected too much tax, he would not have left home and become one of the sailors made up of hooligans and scoundrels, and if it had been arranged, he would have already had a wife with a big ass and a few sons.

Instead of being like now, in his twenties, still single, not knowing when he will go to see God, Cass touched the scar on his face and thought hatefully.

Walking into the tavern, Cass didn't go upstairs with a smiling woman like everyone else, but found a place to sit and drink alone, feel the popularity, he hadn't seen so many people in a few months, and adjusted.

"Have you heard? The king of England is critically ill, tsk! A brawny man with bare breasts sighed to his drinking companion next to him.

"Hey, hey! I have long heard that if this little king can't hold on, then his sister will inherit the throne, but what if his sister is not married yet? "A drunk man hiccuped and his eyes lit up.

Hearing this, Cass's eyes also glowed red: Well, if I marry her, I will become a king!

But after a while, he remembered who he was, a poor sailor, and stopped daydreaming.

Taking a sip of wine, Cass directly hugged the waitress girl who was spreading wine in the dark behind him, put it on his shoulder and ran upstairs, he felt that he had an evil fire entangled in his heart, and he was uncomfortable not venting.

And the waitress on her shoulder didn't struggle, but laughed non-stop: "Man, don't try so hard!" You're hurting meβ€”"

As a result, Cass felt even more uncomfortable, and the pace became faster and faster.

Cass is not the only one who is angry, in a castle near Madrid, the future king of Spain, the son of Charles I, Prince Philip, is also full of blood at this time.

As the son of Charles I and the heir to the Spanish throne, Prince Philip was also an ambitious figure, and his love of power had penetrated his bones.

Guess what he heard today? The King of England is critically ill! The first heir, Princess Mary, is not yet married.

OMG! This is truly the best gift God has ever given to Spain.

Prince Philip thought to himself with excitement as his steps flew fast.
