Instead of finding the answers I was looking for, the journal plunged me deeper into confusion.

I was a little tired, walked over to the bed, and sat down.

Unexpectedly, the lights in the room turned on, although the lights were still a little dim, but they were much better than the lighter I had been holding in my hand just now.

I hadn't been lying down to sleep for a long time, so I just lay down on the bed and continued to think about my questions.

But suddenly, I felt a little uncomfortable on the back of my neck, and there seemed to be something hard in that soft pillow.

I lifted the pillow, only to find that there was a book hidden underneath.

This book is a hard-shell book, no wonder I feel a hard neck when I lie on the pillow. On that hard-shell cover, I saw the title of the book - "Platteeuw: A Kingdom Disappeared from History".

Hey, there's a book here about the kingdom of Pula?

I wasn't much interested in reading such history books, but the portrait of Queen Mary I that I had just seen in the lobby on the third floor made me a little interested in learning about the kingdom. So, I opened the book.

On the first page of the book, the first illustration I saw was a portrait of Queen Mary I. It seems that this Queen Mary played a pivotal role in the history of the Platteeuw Kingdom, otherwise the publishing house would not have left the first illustration of the book to her.

However, Mary I in this illustration is not wearing the queen's costume and is not wearing a crown. On the contrary, she was dressed plainly, in a white dress and white dress, like a very ordinary woman in the European Middle World, which seemed much more approachable. Her eyes have also changed, no longer the kind of coldness and majesty, but a little melancholy and lonely, revealing a kind of loneliness.

How lonely kings have been since ancient times, probably like this, right?

I continued to flip through the pages, and the text in this book was all about the history of the Plattew kingdom.

Here's what I read from this book about the Plattew kingdom, which has disappeared from history:

This Platteoic kingdom is also derived from the system of the Germanic peoples. The country is located in Western Europe, adjacent to the Kingdom of France, and speaks a language close to French. The Kingdom of Platteeuw was a small princely state in the Middle Ages, which was originally the nature of a principality, but its rulers never called themselves a certain grand duke, but directly called a king or queen.

The national territory of the Kingdom of Platteeuw is not large, and its strength is not strong, but because of its dangerous geographical location, it has always been the center of contention among various European powers.

Queen Mary I, daughter of the former King Louis I. It is said that her mother, the queen of King Louis I, was a distant cousin of the King of France, so Marie I also had French blood in her veins. The old king Louis I also had a son, that is, the elder brother of Mary I, Prince William. This Prince William, who had been made a prince, had a good chance of inheriting the kingdom of his father Louis I and becoming the future king of the Kingdom of Platteeuw.

However, the heir to the throne, Prince William, mysteriously disappeared. His son, Mary I's nephew, was still very young. After the death of the old King Louis I, Marie I was put on the throne and became the queen of the Kingdom of Platteeuw, and began her own "Marie era".

However, although the queen has ascended to the throne, some people have questioned the legitimacy of her succession to the throne. Even, there are rumors and legends: it was this Queen Mary I, in order to seize the throne, she did not hesitate to murder her own brother Prince William, this prince is not missing, but was killed by Mary I, but the body cannot be found. Without a body, there is certainly no evidence that the queen killed her own brother and usurped the throne.

After Mary I ascended the throne, on the one hand, she brutally suppressed her own brother, Prince William's henchmen, especially those who spread the word that she killed her brother to seize the throne, which made people more and more convinced that the queen came from the wrong way, and she must have killed her brother to steal the throne. On the other hand, the queen is in major European countries, vertically and horizontally, engaging in balance-of-power diplomacy, taking advantage of the conflicts and contentions between various countries to seek benefits for the Plattew Kingdom and strive for living space.

At the same time, Queen Mary I also established her own private armed force, and her guards, known as the "Predator Cavalry", were made up of her own nobles as well as mercenaries from abroad. These guards are all dressed in black armor, wearing black voyeurs, and black blindfolds on their faces, so they are also called "black guards".

Black Guards? I couldn't help but be taken aback when I saw this word.

In my mind, the image of the man in black popped up again!

Still, I tried to turn my attention back and read on.

During the decades of Mary I's reign, the kingdom of Platteeuw grew stronger and stronger, and although it was not a major European power, it was definitely not to be despised by other small European states. However, the Louis dynasty of Mary I often formed alliances with foreign countries, but because of interests, they betrayed the alliance and threw themselves into the arms of another European power, so capricious, like a woman who was dealing with multiple men at the same time. This, of course, was dissatisfied with by some of the great powers, especially the Kingdom of France, which was adjacent to the Kingdom of Platteeuw. The king of France at that time complained in private: Mary I is like a prostitute, for money, she can go all over and down, there is no morality at all, when will I send troops to annex this country! However, in the final analysis, although France is much stronger than Platteeuw, due to the checks and balances of other powers, France has never dared to attack Platteeuw during the reign of Marie I and even more than 100 years after her death.

However, Mary I was not a prostitute, as the King of France had slandered. On the contrary, she never married. Although several surrounding powers had the idea of marrying this beautiful and charming but somewhat glamorous queen, Mary still refused and insisted on being single and not marrying anyone. Her reason is very high-sounding, she said: she does not want the country to become the territory of another country after getting married. This shows her superb and wise political acumen. However, it is a bit strange that she even chooses a wishful husband from the men in her country, preferring to be alone all her life.

Mary was an old virgin until her death, of course, some scholars suspect this, thinking that she may still have a secret lover, but she did not make it public. However, regardless of Mary's private life, this woman's personality is indeed not something that a few men can deal with. Mary I, a strange and cold person, ruthless to her political opponents, brutal and murderous, refusing to spare even innocent women and children, was executed, imprisoned or exiled during her reign.

Not only that, but Mary I was also quite superstitious, and she once invited wizards to perform various witchcraft activities in the palace. People say that this is because she murdered her own brother Prince William, and she is afraid that Prince William's ghost will seek revenge on her, so she will do it.

However, at the age of seventy, Queen Mary I actually abdicated early and gave up the throne to her brother Prince William's son, that is, her nephew Wilhelm II. At that time, this Wilhelm II was almost 50 years old, and he thought that he had no hope of inheriting the throne in this life, and he lingered in the Fengyue place every day. However, her aunt, Queen Mary I, let the wandering son Wilhelm II easily ascend the throne, which really made Wilhelm II overjoyed and even more moved.

After ascending the throne, King Wilhelm II did not embarrass his aunt, nor did he continue to investigate the disappearance of his father, Prince Wilhelm, and left a palace for his aunt Mary I to live in.

Since then, the mighty Mary I has completely disappeared from the political scene. She lived for another 21 years, during which time the Louis dynasty passed through two more kings, but Mary I lived unharmed until old age.

However, the last 21 years of Mary I's life are still full of mysteries. Almost no one saw her again, and some even thought she was dead or imprisoned by the current king. However, when Mary I was 90 years old, the then king Philip I personally came to the palace to congratulate his aunt on her birthday. Only then did it become known that the woman was still alive. However, almost no one who saw Mary I recognized her, she was very old, her appearance had become ugly, her face was full of wrinkles, and she was always nervous, and even said that the place where she lived was not clean, and that there were often ghosts. Back then, the graceful queen was gone, and Mary I had become a nagging and obscene old woman. People say: The ghost that Queen Mary is talking about must be the late Prince William, who has been pestering Mary I and refuses to let her go. Another year passed, and the Queen Mary I finally died as well.

However, although Mary I is dead, the story about her does not end. After her death, legend has it that she was seen haunting and wandering around the royal tombs. Moreover, children in nearby villages will also die or disappear inexplicably, and those children who died suddenly died in a tragic state, they were cut open and their internal organs were gone, as if they had been swallowed by something. However, it does not look like it was devoured by wild beasts. Therefore, whenever the locals mention this Mary I, they will talk about it and call it "Bloody Mary". Later, the legend of "Bloody Mary" gradually spread, spread throughout the European continent, and was demonized in various ways, becoming synonymous with a terrifying female ghost. There are many versions of "Bloody Mary", and this is only one of them, and of course, the most mysterious one.

It turns out that this Mary I is the prototype of the legendary "Bloody Mary"?

However, in any case, I could not associate the word "bloody" with this beautiful woman who looked exactly like Mary, Mary I.

Maybe it's because I love Mary so much, that's why I love Wu and Wu, right?

However, they are two different women after all······
