Chapter 69: Final Results
"Good! If Count Aaron wins, you'll be with your mom forever! ”
Queen Mary heard that little Mary was so dependent on herself, and there was a smile in the corner of her eyes. However, for some reason, Queen Mary has always had an ominous premonition in her heart.
When the mother and daughter were chatting happily, the queen mother's personal female officer hurriedly ran in, with a panicked look on her face, as if she had fallen, and there was some dust left on her knees.
"Casey! What's so flustered, pay attention to etiquette, you know? ”
Her Majesty the Queen Mother is still very tolerant of Casey, the middle-aged female official she brought from France, and this is also the person she trusts the most in Scotland.
"I'm sorry! Your Majesty, I am so rude! I beg your pardon! ”
Casey knelt on the ground and made a gesture of sincerity, with a very respectful tone in his tone.
"That's it! Get up and tell me what is causing you to panic so much! ”
Queen Mary had an ominous feeling in her heart, as if she had seen Casey's look once.
Suddenly, her heart seemed to have poured a basin of cold river water in the cold winter, and a cold chill pierced out from the inside out.
Casey spoke slowly, in a trembling voice, as if confirming her suspicions.
"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, Lord Regent is back!"
"Is he victorious?" Queen Mary hurriedly asked, her hands stirring together unnaturally.
"You send Her Majesty back to bed first, she's tired of playing!" Queen Mary suddenly turned her head and whispered to the young maid who was playing with little Mary.
"Yes! Her Majesty the Queen Mother! The maid said in a delicate voice, very softly and crisply.
Little Mary seemed to be frightened by Queen Mother's eyes, shrunk her neck, and swallowed back the words that were blocked in her throat.
In little Mary's reluctance, she was carried back by the maid, and the words of the female officer, Casey, and Queen Mary continued.
"Her Majesty the Queen Mother, Lord Regent, Your Excellency ......"
"What the hell happened to him?" Seeing the female officer spitting, Mary urged impatiently.
"Lord Regent, he has just returned with more than a thousand cavalry, and he is disheveled!"
Hearing this, Mary didn't know that they lost the war in Scotland, and it was a big defeat.
She lay on the seat a little unsupportively, her eyes staring blankly ahead, and the corners of her mouth couldn't stop muttering.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Taken aback by Mary's behavior, Casey hurriedly walked forward and called out to Queen Mary.
I don't know if it was Casey who woke up, or because there was some concern urging her, but in less than a moment, Queen Mary came back to her senses.
"It's okay! I'm fine, Kathy! I was just surprised! ”
Seeing her personal female officer with a teary-eyed look, Mary couldn't help but persuade.
"Go and call the Lord Regent and the other three patriarchs of the family to come over!"
"Let's go, shall we? Don't look like you're crying, you're the queen of Scotland! ”
"Yes! Her Majesty the Queen Mother! I'm going, you have to adjust your mood! ”
Mary watched Casey sprint out of the palace with a crying voice, and shook her head with a wry smile.
For this Casey, who grew up with him, he felt helpless, and he hadn't gotten rid of the crying nose since he was a child.
Mary sat in her chair and pondered how she could protect her daughter, for she couldn't just count on the wasteful Scottish aristocracy.
"Poof!" Half an hour had passed, and the current regent, Earl of Argyle, James Brown. Lord Hamiston walked in with a serious face, and Mary took a closer look, his pace was much slower than usual, and the wrinkles on his face were more pronounced.
Next came David. Bishop Beaton, the representative of the Scottish religion, is also frowning at this time, and it seems that he is still quite worried about the future of Scotland.
Archibald Campbell, the young Earl of Argyll, and Adolf, Earl of Lannox. Lennox, even the trick came, and there was no good color on his face. Obviously, they all already know the details.
"Ladies and gentlemen! It's all my fault! I have failed to live up to your expectations, and I am here to propose to Her Majesty the Queen Mother to step down as regent in the presence of all of you! I don't deserve this burden! ”
The Earl, who had fled from a long journey, was very tired, and he continued to hurry, and in less than ten hours, the Earl's body was a little unbearable, and his legs trembled a little.
"Lord Earl, your contribution is obvious to all, and I don't think it will be any different for anyone this time!"
"So, you'd better continue to assist Mary in the management of Scotland!" Of course, the Queen Mother did not allow the Earl to leave now, she was not ready to take over! Can't be cheaper for others.
"Yes! The Earl is the most suitable for this position, and you can't step down! Earl Argyle and Count Lennox said in unison, seemingly supportive of Earl Arlen.
In fact, after the defeat of Scotland, no one was willing to carry the big pit of regency, especially the negotiations with the English. Whoever is the regent will definitely sign those treaties that betray Scottish interests, this big black pot is too big.
Bishop Beaton remained silent and did not speak.
"Alas! Since all the ministers and Her Majesty the Queen Mother support me, then I will reluctantly continue to serve in office! ”
"But! Monsieur Earl, my Mary cannot marry that sick man in England! Queen Mary said suddenly.
"Ahh Edward, who was lying on the grass reading a book, suddenly yawned, and he couldn't help but be depressed.
"Who's scolding me?"
The Earl of Arlen shook his head with a wry smile, understanding what they meant, but finally agreed, after all, he was the one who knew Scotland best.
Pink Canyon, after a night of counting, the Earl of Wellington came to Duke Edward's side with a pair of bloodshot eyes.
Duke Edward sat on a rock at this time, looking at the new string of captives in front of him.
"My Earl! How did these people come from? ”
Seeing the Duke of Edward pointing to the captives, the Earl of Wellington said with amusement:
"Lord Duke, it's funny to say, the hundreds of cavalry sent to pursue the Scots yesterday, I thought a few nobles would be obtained, who would have thought that there was a small wall at the mouth of the valley, and a large group of Scots would be stopped there, and in the end there would be a big chaos!"
"The cavalry worked all night like a sheep, and caught more than 3,000 people! The rest are all gone! ”
"Then why didn't you notify us?"
"Your Excellency the Duke, do you think that group of commoners can be as smart as our nobles?"
Lord Earl smiled disdainfully, and the contempt in his tone was clear.
"And how many of the Scottish barbarians have we captured?"
Duke Edward is still more concerned about his own record.
"Your Excellency the Duke, so far, we have captured a total of fourteen thousand and sixty-eight people! This is a record that has never been done before! ”
