Chapter 188: Negotiation

ps: The second update, ask for votes, ask for subscriptions.

Just as the City of London councillors were arriving one after another, Kyle. Reims took a few guards, rode in a carriage, wandered for three or four days, and finally came to Paris, where Henry II was currently resting for the time being, the Louvre.

As a royal palace, the Louvre was designed as a defensive palace from the beginning, and even if it was expanded more and more brilliantly, it was only face-saving for the king, not comfortable.

Of course, for Henry II, the Louvre was full of the imprint of his father, François I, but he always had a grudge against his father, he hated the palace, and he preferred the Maple Ganbelou Palace.

However, in order to maintain the majesty of the king, in addition to adding various works of art to increase the king's reputation on a daily basis, he only rushed from the leisure Fenggan Dew Palace when important events occurred.

At this time, in the splendid and solemn Louvre, in a lavishly decorated room full of various works of art, Henry II had unspeakable anger on his face.

And before him, the Duke of Guise, François. Morality. Guise and Cardinal Charlie had serious faces, not daring to provoke the wrath of the king.

They knew that the king in front of them had been abused by the King of Spain when he was a child, and when he returned to France, he had a very short temper and belonged to the type that burned at the slightest point.

At this time, although he loved art as much as his father, at this time, no matter how perfect a work of art was, he could not escape his anger.

"Boom-" A human sculpture instantly became fragments in front of everyone, and immediately after, the oil paintings on the walls could not escape the poison.

"Ahh

"What a waste, what a famous admiral, it's just rubbish!" Henry II scolded angrily with anger in his eyes.

"There are so many ships, and none of them have come back, and they let the English show off their might, what a waste!"

Henry II's anger came and went as fast as it came, and in less than a moment he quieted himself down.

"You say, 'What are we going to do?' We can't let the English show off in front of us all the time! ”

Henry II turned his gaze to Duke Guise and consulted.

As a loyal Catholic, the Duke of Guise, like Henry II, hated the Huguenots (Calvinists), so he was always a trusted minister of Henry II.

"Your Majesty, news just came that Port Francico has been captured by the English!" Duke Guise lowered his head slightly and said in a muffled voice.

"What? The English have the audacity, do they still want to taste defeat? Upon hearing that the port had fallen, Henry II raised his brow and asked sharply.

"Your Majesty, just now, the English sent an envoy to negotiate."

As a staunch Catholic, Bishop Charles looked at Henry II, who was about to be angry, and said softly.

"Oh? Is it? I'd like to see what this Mr. Messenger has to say! A cold glint flashed in Henry II's eyes, and his anger receded instantly, and he sneered.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The waiter on the side hurriedly trotted over and went to call.

The Duke of Guise and Bishop Charles stood aside, and they also wanted to see what this messenger was here for!

And Kyle. After receiving the summons, Lance hurriedly straightened his clothes and followed the attendants to the palace.

"Your Majesty, I am glad you to meet me! It's a privilege for me! "Kyle. Lance bowed, smiled, and said respectfully.

"Say it! What did your young king say to me? The corners of Henry II's mouth curled up and he said contemptuously.

"Your Majesty, for the reason that you have sent a fleet to attack our England for no reason, our Majesty is outraged about this."

"Thankfully, with God's blessing, we were able to defeat your army, and as a sign of respect, we also sent troops to occupy Francico."

Kyle. Faced with the dismissive Henry II, Lance said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Humph! Don't think that I can't help you if you capture Francico, I don't think it will take a day for you to be defeated and flee under my army! ”

Henry II didn't pay any attention to this threat, looked at the English envoy in front of him, and said with a sneer.

"I advise you to dispel this idea, this method will not help me! Sooner or later, I will fight England and capture your king alive. ”

Kyle had anticipated this situation, and their first purpose in occupying the city was to loot money, and as a bargaining chip, it was second.

"But, as far as I know, your navy is almost depleted, right?" Kyle didn't blink an eyelid, his attitude was dignified, and he said at his usual pace.

"Huh! What is this, in a few months, when the ships are built, our navy will immediately return to normal! ”

Henry II replied indifferently, not even looking at Kyle.

"However, Your Majesty, if our English navy has been blockading your country's ports or harassing your country's coast in the past few months, I am afraid it will be difficult to estimate your losses!"

Kyle was like a fox who had always been cunning, analyzing Henry II step by step, and seemed to have been thinking about him.

"In this way, in a few months, you may not have the money to build a ship!"

"And I'm afraid your creditors will come to your door, which is not good news!"

Kyle said with the same smile as always, which seemed to Henry II to be more and more hateful.

Kyle knew that if Henry II was willing to see him, then he had plans to negotiate peace, after all, France had more than one enemy, and there was also a behemoth Spain by his side.

France certainly could not cope with both England and Spain at the same time.

Seeing Henry II, who was speechless for a moment, Kyle continued: "We hope that your country will recognize the fact that Scotland has been annexed to our country, and will no longer invade our country under the banner of recovering Scotland!" ”

"It can't be!" As soon as the words fell, Henry II said without hesitation, neatly and without a trace of delay.

"Scotland has always been an independent country, and you England are despicable and shameless in this way!"

"Besides, for hundreds of years, we have signed a treaty of alliance with Scotland and we in France have always kept our promises!"

On the side, Duke Guise walked out and said in a loud voice, looking upright.

Hearing Duke Guise's words, Kyle narrowly didn't let himself laugh, the credibility of the French is more rubbish than shit.

Not to mention the various debts that François had to pay after he was released after the signing of various treaties after the capture of Spain.

It was the Greenwich Treaty signed by Henry VIII with the French and the Scots, and the French were also shamelessly prepared to let Queen Mary marry into France.

Ignoring the marriage between Edward and Queen Mary as determined in the treaty.

Duke Guise's insertion, which lets Kyle know that he has changed his negotiating partner.

Sure enough, Henry II, who had been talking about it all along, was sitting in his place at this time, looking at the two with relish.

"However, the Greenwich Treaty signed between your country and our country stipulates that Queen Mary and Your Majesty will be married, and your country wants to marry Queen Mary and your crown prince, is it not a breach of promise!"

"Your Excellency, Messenger, is not right! Queen Mary just wanted to come to France to see me! You know, I'm still Her Majesty's grandfather! ”

For this matter, Duke Guise hurriedly denied it, and brazenly found a reason.

So, in the middle of your sentence and my sentence, the two slowly negotiated.
