Nestled on a cliff on the shores of the Caribbean Sea, Zama, the capital of the Mayan kingdom, in another corner of the royal palace

With a lazy yawn, a pair of white jade arms slowly stretched out the quilt.

Lying on a soft bed, the widow of the Earl of Moe (Isle of Man) in Britain, Elijah. Mrs. Griffin slowly opened her eyes.

Then, as always, she saw the unfamiliar ceiling, and the black bear painted on the ceiling that seemed to have albinism.

Just like a human with vitiligo, except for the eye sockets, ears, limbs and shoulder blades, the body is still black, and all of them have become snow-white.

I heard that the most honorable family of the Seris in the New World all use this black bear with albinism as a family coat of arms? What a weird fetish!

No matter how you look at it, it is all fierce beasts such as lions, tigers, eagles, gray wolves, or weapons such as swords and shields, which are more imposing, right?

- After complaining silently about the panda mosaic on the ceiling, Mrs. Illya sat up lazily from the bed, and then saw that a simple breakfast had been laid on the small round table beside the bed: two small pieces of bread and a coconut with a straw in it.

However, the Countess was not very hungry for the time being, so she only glanced at it, and then lay back on the bed, in a daze with the cotton cushions.

All in all, after being put into a wooden cage and transported all the way to the capital of this Seris country in a rickety sea boat, as a noble person like the widow of Count Moejima, Illya. Mrs. Griffin was finally treated with courtesy and privileges.

When she recovered from the pain of malaria and gradually regained consciousness, she found herself in a large, tidy room with a large soft bed underneath. The linen shirt, once soaked in sweat and smelling like salted fish, was replaced by a breathable and comfortable cotton nightgown, with a simple blue pattern printed on it, and even smoked with an unknown spice to give off a good smell.

There was not much furniture in the room, there were no intricate carved inlays, but they were all painted and smoothed. The walls are plastered brick, the floor is flat terrazzo, the windows are large blocks of flat glass, and there is a mosaic of "albino black bear" mosaic on the ceiling. If it weren't for the cast-iron balustrades on the windows and doors, she would have almost thought it was in the superior rooms of some church or convent.

In addition to the decent dwelling, the Seris people also provided a rich diet, although there was not much meat, but every day there were fish and fresh fruits, such as coconuts, pineapples, etc., and many fruits that Madame Illya had never seen, and the staple food was bread and rice, which were soft and delicious: in these years of Western Europe, rice was probably a relatively expensive overseas import, and even the noble families were reluctant to eat it every day.

Alas, why are these Serisians, who do not believe in God, so favored by God? Not only does it occupy so much fertile and fertile land, but it also has the best things that exist in this known world. The finest drinks, tea, the finest tableware, porcelain, the finest fabrics, silks, and so on, all the fine things that made European Christians covet were miraculously found in the hands of the Serisians.

In addition to this, Lady Illya was relieved that her daughter, Christina, was also safe and sound, and had visited her once under the watchful eye of the Celestial maids and guards. Although the time was short, and because of the surveillance, she could not say a few private words, but at least she could see that Christina was good-looking, and she should not be abused here, and this already made her happy: although she did not pay much attention to this daughter because of the patriarchal tradition. But after losing her husband, home and three sons all at once as a result of this suicidal expedition, she could no longer bear the pain of losing her last daughter.

Although there was no maid in the cell, there were often maids who came in every day to bring her food, make her bed, empty the toilet, and bathe her, but because of the language barrier, Lady Elijah was never able to get anything out of the dark-skinned little maids.

Then, every day, a court lady who seemed to be of higher status and better served came and poured her bowls of bitter medicinal soup, the taste of which is difficult to describe in words, but it was after drinking these medicinal soups that her malaria gradually improved, and she did not have to continue to suffer from those headaches, colds, high fevers, weakness, and nightmares. The days when I collapsed on the sickbed before were really unbearable, and I felt like a ribbon of endless pain intertwined with every inch of my body.

But now, all this pain has left her, and the healthy vitality has returned to her body.

If it weren't for her current status as a captive, this time could be said to be the most comfortable time for Lady Elijah since she left her homeland at sea.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but clench her hands into fists in front of her chest, and began to pray in a low voice alone.

“…… Thank God that I was able to get rid of my illness and regain my health......"

“…… Damn it! It wasn't God who cured you of malaria and restored you to health, but my medical skills and the bark of this tree, which can only be found in the high mountains of the southern New World, is as expensive as silver of equal weight! My dear Sister Elijah! ”

With a seemingly familiar arrogant female voice, the iron door of the cell was pushed open from the outside, and then, a red-haired woman in a luxurious purple robe and a colorful silk gauze hat strode in, surrounded by the maids, "...... Looks like you're getting better? ”

Listening to the familiar voice of her homeland, looking at her face that could still vaguely evoke memories, Countess Illya was a little confused at first, and then shocked, "...... You are...... Erin? Shouldn't you have gone to the European continent? How did you get here?! And he was dressed as a Serisian?!! ”

“…… That's a long story...... It seems like we haven't seen each other in twenty years! Dear Sister Elija!! ”

Queen Mother Irene sighed, turned around and gestured, and then a maid moved the chair so that she could sit down and talk, "...... I can't imagine that the scene when we meet again is that you and your husband crossed the vast sea with an army and invaded my country......"

The mother of the Mayan prince Ma Jixiang, the Queen Mother Regent, Irene, was a Celtic witch who had been exiled from Britain.

Twenty years ago, she was trafficked to the New World as a slave girl, and then entered the harem of the Mayan kingdom because of her beauty, and was loved and favored by the previous king, was canonized as one of the concubines, and was the first to give birth to the son of the first king, which is now the Mayan prince Ma Jixiang.

After the death of the previous Mayan prince due to an earthquake accident, because Ma Jixiang was the only son of the former king who did not die at that time, and was only thirteen years old at the time, so at the same time that Ma Jixiang inherited the throne, Irene also became the queen mother.

But few people know that Queen Dowager's father is the Earl of Cornwall in Britain, and she is a sister to Lady Eliya of the Earl of Moe Island.

Well, specifically, half-sisters. Illya is the eldest lady of the real name, while Erin is the illegitimate daughter of the dishonor.

However, this kind of thing has long been commonplace in European aristocratic circles, and both of them are women, and there is no conflict between inheritance and property division, so there is no grudge between Illya and Irene.

On the contrary, Illya and Erin's sisterly relationship is actually not bad, belonging to the kind of relationship that has been played together since childhood.

The reason why Irene is a witch is because in Britain at the beginning of the introduction of Christianity, the ancient druidic beliefs were not completely extinct among the Celts, and some Celtic priests who passed on ancient myths and herbal knowledge became witches and witches.

For various reasons, the aristocracy often had the habit of raising wizards, astrologers, and alchemists in their castles in the face of the prohibition of the church, which was roughly equivalent to personal doctors and consultants, and only said that they were secretaries or scholars. In addition, some religious stories and technical knowledge of the Tang and Moors were also introduced to Britain from overseas, and were enthusiastically collected and studied by some intellectuals.

This became the main excuse for Charles II the "Pious" to purge the old nobility of the country and deprive them of their lands and titles.

Erin's mother was such a Celtic witch who was raised by the Earl of Cornwall, and then naturally raised to bed, and after a few spring breezes, she had Erin, an illegitimate daughter, and inherited her mother's knowledge of witchcraft and a whole lot of strange spell-casting items.

- As a child, these witchcraft props were often used as toys for Illya and Erin.

Many years later, their father, the Earl of Cornwall, and Irene's mother both died, and Illya married Moe Island and became the Countess of Moe Island. However, within a few years of marriage, Illya's husband, Harold, Earl of Moe Island. Somehow, Griffin contracted a serious disease, and his body weakened day by day. Quacks who only bled and induced vomiting did not cure the disease, nor did the prayers of the priests and holy water.

Lady Elijah, who was anxious because she didn't want to be a widow, remembered that she had watched Irene and her witch mother fiddle with all kinds of strange herbs when she was a child, so she sent her cronies to summon Erin's sister from her hometown to treat her husband.

But the problem is that at this time in Britain, it was already the era when Charles II, the "pious", ascended the throne, and under the banner of "pure faith", he wantonly set up the Inquisition to purge all kinds of heretics, witches and heretics in the territory, so witches like Irene had to keep a low profile in order to avoid the detection of the Inquisition. However, out of consideration for sisterly feelings, she finally gritted her teeth and went to Moe Island with all her belongings.

Then, after Erin put on a full set of equipment and used many overseas medical techniques that were considered witchcraft by the church, Harold, the Earl of Moe Island. Griffin's illness finally gradually improved, but the matter of "a witch from the Earl's house" was also stabbed by the informant to the Inquisition.

To make matters worse, as a guy known for his weak character and flaunting piety, Harold after recovering from his illness. Earl Griffin did not dare to protect Erin, a life-saver, under the pressure of the church and the royal family, but was anxious to draw a line with her, and even took the initiative to expose it to avoid trouble. With no choice but to put Irene on a ship and send her to exile from the Inquisition.

However, Lady Elijah never imagined that the owner of the ship would change his face immediately after going to sea, imprison Erin and shackle her, and traffick her to the New World as a high-class slave girl...... Thus the Mayan kingdom had a red-haired Celtic queen mother.

After a lapse of 20 years, the two met again, and the world has long been changing, and things are wrong, which is really emotional.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

“…… Hehe, your husband has been subservient to the king and the church all his life, and in the end he still has not escaped the fate of being deprived of his territory? ”

Listening to Lady Elijah's description of the past twenty years, Erin couldn't help but sigh, "...... The reason why he cried like a woman when he left Moe Island was because he didn't fight like a man. It's hard to imagine that this man could be a descendant of the Vikings. ”

“…… Resistance is useless in the presence of the king's army! Sister Erin, it's not like you don't know how remote Moe Island is, with a total population of only 3,000. In the face of the fleet sent by London, what can we do but give in? ”

Lady Illya shook her head helplessly, "...... That's why I came to the New World with my four children, and now there's only one left......"

“…… After all, even if you are ordered by the church to participate in this kind of holy war that is purely sent to death, there is no reason to bring your wife and children with you, right? ”

Queen Irene continued to ask, "...... Even if the property on Moe Island is confiscated, why don't you take your children back to your parents' home in Cornwall? ”

“…… Back to Cornwall? How can it be? Lady Illya smiled wryly, "...... Just seven years after your departure, our brother, the last Earl of Cornwall, took part in a rebellion against the King, and after his defeat, he was said to have gone into exile in Flanders, and his lands were confiscated by the King. When we were driven out of Moe Island, the King's messenger gave us two choices, either the whole family went to the New World to fight in the Holy War, or Harold crossed the sea with his three sons, and Christina and I went to the Abbey of Notre-Dame in London to become monks...... You should know what that place is.

So, at that time, I thought, instead of taking my daughter to that kind of place to suffer, it is better to be together as a family and die together......"

In this regard, Queen Mother Irene nodded knowingly, although the "pious" Charles II has been flaunting the supremacy of faith for decades, but on the other hand, the decay and depravity of the church have long been a well-known fact. More than a hundred years ago, many so-called nuns in Britain had become secret clubs for the children of the aristocratic and wealthy to have fun, and the nuns inside were no different from the warblers standing on the street.

The Abbey of Our Lady of London is one of the most famous clubhouses, and it is said that even the king often changed into civilian clothes and quietly frequented it......

Obviously, when the ladies and ladies in distress are thrown into that kind of place, what will happen next is naturally conceivable.

In such a either-or situation, it is not surprising that Lady Illya would make the decision to go to the Sea of Fury with her family.

After the greetings were over, Lady Elijah asked about her daughter's condition, and received an unexpected reply:

“…… Your daughter Christina? Don't worry, she's fine, she's a very cute and well-behaved child, and she gets along very well with my son, my son likes this cousin very much, and I played with her in bed until midnight yesterday! So it will be a little while before she can get up and come and see you. ”

Queen Irene said unabashedly, with a narrow smile on her lips, and then she saw Lady Elijah's surprised and angry eyes.

“…… Feeling angry? But the question is, who do you have to be angry? My dear Sister Elijah! I've saved your life! No matter how much helplessness and suffering you have, the truth is that you and your husband crossed thousands of miles of ocean with an army, invaded my kingdom for no reason, and were defeated by my son. According to the usual rules, what will happen to a female captive after defeat, I think you know better than me.

What's more, even considering our friendship, your daughter is my son's lover, how can it not be regarded as insulting her, right? Do you know that my son is also a noble king, and his land and population are no worse than that of King Charles on the Iron Throne in London? Do you think it should be a favor to have the daughter of an exiled earl be a lover of a king? Or is it a shame? ”

(To explain, the entire Yucatan Peninsula has a land area of about 300,000 square kilometers, and even if a third were ceded, there would still be 200,000 square kilometers.) By comparison, the total land area of England is only 130,000 square kilometers, and even if Wales is included, it is only 150,000 square kilometers. In terms of population, the population of Britain in the early twelfth century was only 2 million due to the devastation of years of war, and if Scotland is deducted, it will be reduced by a few hundred thousand if England is included, which is similar to the Mayan kingdom, which was cut off by a third of its territory.

In terms of centralization, the two countries are actually feudal feudal feudal systems, if the king is stronger, he can command like an arm, and if the king is weak and cowardly, the lords and nobles below will not take him seriously, and only superficial respect remains. It's just that Britain has more powerful kings, and it can still make the nobles in the territory feel fearful and obedient, while the Mayan kingdom has not had any strong monarchs for many generations.

Therefore, the biggest difference between the two kings of London City and Zama City today is only the difference in the control of their respective vassals, and the fact that one has a larger royal territory and has more fiscal revenue, while the other has a smaller royal territory and less fiscal revenue.

However, as long as the vassals below did not rebel, there was no essential difference between the two kings in the eyes of the world.

Therefore, don't look at Prince Ma Jixiang as if he is a broken family in the circle of Tang feudal lords in Xinzhou, if he is placed in Europe, he is at least the same status as the king of Britain, and more noble than the kings of Norway and Denmark. ）

After listening to Irene's calm explanation, Mrs. Eliya, who was about to have a seizure, gradually calmed down.

Then, she realized that her mother and daughter were very, very lucky to be treated like this.

The accident that happened in Britain back then, after tearing off the cloak of faith, no matter how you look at it, it was your husband and wife who took revenge, and after praying for others to save their lives, they kicked others into the fire pit. Although it was not her intention to make Erin a slave girl, it was still her fault.

Now that Erin is willing to use precious medicinal materials to treat her malaria, maybe it is for the sake of her daughter's favor?

“…… Ah, dear Sister Elijah, there are some things that I don't want to lie to you, my son is not a Christian, so it is absolutely impossible for him to have a Christian wedding with Christina. Of course, there will be no Serisian weddings, and your daughter Christina will probably just become one of my son's harem members, just like when I first came to this palace...... As for whether she will be the next me in the future, it depends on whether she can give birth to a smart and healthy grandson for our family......"

After continuing to prescribe the treatment and conditions, seeing that her sister seemed to have accepted the reality, Queen Mother Irene was also relieved.

Although she had just been forced to flee Britain and then trafficked to the New World as a slave girl, she had indeed hated this unreliable sister who had miserably killed her, and she hated it from the bottom of her heart. But then so many years have passed, so many wonderful things have happened, and she herself has become the queen mother of a country by chance, and she has a light view of the grudges in the past.

On the contrary, as she got older, she often couldn't help but reminisce about her British homeland...... However, Erin also knew very well that there was no going back to her homeland across the ocean. And former relatives, friends and acquaintances will not see each other again.

Now, impermanent fate can send Sister Illya to her again, talk about the past together, and let her and her daughter bow down in front of her, Erin's heart is actually very happy. Of course, as some kind of revenge, a little toss is also necessary.

Didn't her son Ma Jixiang always want a white-skinned and beautiful orchid? Of course, she, as a mother, knows about this, but in the past, she had been too tight to do anything, but now a fair-skinned and beautiful cousin of a prisoner of war happened to be sent to the door, so she was sent to her son's bed.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the cell. Erin and Illya turned their heads to look and saw Prince Ma Jixiang walking over with a little golden retriever. Next, looking at Christina, a blonde girl in a Tang dress, who was wearing a Tang style skirt and two buns, according to some kind of etiquette for visiting her elder, first greeted Queen Mother Erin, and then spoke to herself with a shy expression, Lady Elija found that she could only smile.

- In any case, it is better to be alive than to be dead. Life is always full of pain, but this pain is God's arrangement, and what can these weak women do but endure, hold on, and accept reality?

This nightmarish death expedition can have such an ending, and it seems that it is already God's blessing.

What she didn't know, however, was that in order to ensure a "harvest" for her offspring, Erin had prepared more than one orchid for her son.

Of course, those white European girls who were also captives were not treated so gently.

A few days later, the Mayan kingdom, the port of Cancun

The wide pier is full of all kinds of sailboats, and there are at least 100 of them. Except for the local fishing boats, most of them are merchant ships from other places. The Vikings, who had just been enslaved, and their families were released from the bilge in groups of twos and threes. One by one, blinking with cloudy eyes, they climbed out of the hatch under the drive of the whip and stepped on the gangplank onto the land. Their rags had long since turned into a pile of ragged cloth, and they all looked filthy and weak - in order to prevent the slaves from rebelling, the Tang captains provided them with only one or two sweet potatoes a day, just enough to starve to death.

- When the shogunate of Kaito Shogunate of Kamifu Castle in the Valley of Mexico officially issued a document rewarding the heroes with 100,000 square kilometers of land in the western part of the Mayan kingdom for their military exploits, more than 20,000 European pirates and their families captured in the previous counterattack were also sent to the Mayan kingdom as compensation for the transfer of land. At the same time, some surplus military rations were sent that were about to deteriorate, just in time to feed the slaves.

So, in the picturesque port of Cancun, there was a disgusting pungent smell in the air at this time, which was the smell of the sea mixed with the body odor of the slaves, and the volatilization of the stench of the goods that had unfortunately been permeated by the sea, and even the sea breeze that was constantly blowing from the foaming sea could not completely blow them away. However, the native Mayan nobles and the owners of the Tang estates, who had been waiting on the shore for a long time, were not disgusted by this, and as soon as they saw the slaves disembarking, they could not wait to rush up, check their physique and teeth, drive them to run and jump, and occasionally quarrel for a strong white slave.

In order to restore agricultural production in the country as soon as possible and share the risk of slaves being infected with the plague, after receiving this batch of living compensation, the court of the Mayan kingdom ordered that most of the white slaves be sold to the indigenous Mayan tribes and Tang landlords in the country at a very low price. Because of the first-come, first-served consideration, these tribal elders and Tang landlords who are now gathered in Cancun Port are all in a hurry to pick up the goods. According to the predetermined procedure, after being bought, the slaves were sent in batches to several quarantine camps, where they underwent a series of quarantine and decontamination procedures, such as shaving their heads, bathing and flea eradication, and then sent to work in the various Mayan city-state tribes and Tang plantations that bought them: labor was now scarce.

For the Mayan kingdom, which has had a long-standing problem of population loss, these white slaves who don't need money are more or less a supplement.

Of course, as the supreme arbiter of the country, the Mayan royal family naturally cut off the best and strongest batch of white slaves from among the white slaves before they were put on sale, and used them in the estates, forest farms, quarries, and workshops directly under the royal family. In addition, four of the best-looking young white virgins were selected by Queen Dowager, who was anxious to hold her grandson, and brought into the Mayan palace in Zama City as gifts for her son's bed warmer.

Among the more than 20,000 captives who came across the sea, there were not many women, and even fewer could meet the aesthetic standards of the court.

At this moment, after many maintenance procedures such as bathing, haircuts, and incense, these four white girls from different European countries, wearing translucent gauze clothes that could barely cover their bodies, stood in front of the graceful and luxurious Queen Mother Irene, and listened to her words in an arrogant tone:

“…… The great commander of our Seris, who conquered Jerusalem and Baghdad and conquered the Arab Empire, once famously said that the greatest joy and achievement in life is to hunt down your enemies everywhere, invade their lands, plunder their wealth, and then listen to the bitter cries of their wives and children prostrate before them, and bear offspring for yourselves......"

“…… Although my son may not be able to compare with such a great hero, this does not prevent him from deriving pleasure from the same thing. ”

“…… As a mother who loves her child, I also hope to be able to fulfill his little wishes to some extent......"

“…… Since you haven't committed suicide or tried to escape until now, you must have already realized the corresponding psychological awareness......"

“…… Before I send you to my son, the king of this country, I must warn you one last time, that you must not be careful about what you should not do! As a woman, death doesn't have to be the worst ending...... As far as I know, there are many ways to make life worse than death! For example, cut off your limbs, gouge out your teeth, stitch your eyes together, and throw them to the most lowly sailors and slaves to use their last residual heat...... Until in some of the filthest and dirtiest places, toyed with to the last breath......"

When she said these cruel and terrifying words, her eyes were extremely focused and calm, which made the four girls in the hall tremble.

“…… Therefore, forget all that has passed, put away your tears, wipe your bodies clean, do your best to please my child, and serve your future master with all your heart, and bear birth to his offspring...... At the very least, if you can be favored by the king, you will have the opportunity to be a prince or princess mother and become a part of this noble family! ”

In this way, after experiencing the catastrophe of the Viking invasion, a certain young prince who thought he was both sullen and poor finally lived a pleasant life where he could play with fair-skinned and beautiful beauties every day and sing songs every night......
