Chapter 1319: Prince VS Queen
"I'm the young master!"
Downton shifted the subject to lighten up the atmosphere.
"You?"
The little maid was puzzled, stretched her neck, like a house cat, and leaned over to Downton's chest, furrowed her nose, and sniffed vigorously.
"No, you're not, it doesn't taste the same!"
The little maid stepped back sharply, stood in front of Leon, opened her arms, stared at Downton vigilantly, and asked loudly, "Who are you? Why do you want to pretend to be a young master? ”
"My Study ......"
Downton began to describe what he had seen the last time he entered the ironclad study, and he took the opportunity to explain, but he felt that Leon must have known.
"Ah, you thief!"
The little maid screamed, and Leon knocked on the door of the head.
"Woo!"
The little maid pouted, held her head, and looked at the young master aggrievedly.
"Don't make a fuss, he's my brother...... Friends!"
Leone explained.
"I'm sorry!"
The little maid bowed and apologized.
"Well, a gift for you!"
Downton took out a string of elf-style bracelets and handed them to the little maid, who wanted it but looked at Leon.
"Put it away!"
Leon rubbed the little maid's hair.
The little maid took it and played happily, she didn't know that this bracelet was worth tens of millions of gold coins and was a queen's collection.
Of course, as Downton and Leon, they don't care about this kind of thing.
"I'm leaving!"
When he saw the maid, Downton thought of Juliet, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Be careful lately, Crown Prince, I hope you don't come!"
Leon was silent for a moment, but decided to persuade. But he knew the other party wouldn't agree.
Sure enough, Downton shook his head helplessly and turned to leave.
"Why do you look so alike?"
Looking at Downton's back as he waved his hand away, the little maid asked.
"How do I know? maybe only the Guardian of the Plane or the Goddess of Light knows. ”
Leon looked at the sky with a deep gaze, and the little maid with a question mark on her head quickly gave up thinking. Drag him to enjoy the festival night.
Returning to the hotel, Downton finds that little Lori is missing.
"She's recently met a new friend, the little dark-haired girl in the arena!" Sissi brought supper, "Don't worry, I've got someone to protect her." ”
"Hmm!"
Downton didn't take it to heart, he wanted to kill Hu Tao, it was too difficult, and Little Lori's perception was very keen, only if the other party had malicious intent, it would be caught.
"The Crown Prince's Ceremony. What are you going to do?"
After the end of the Love Song Masquerade Contest, it means that the Midsummer Eve Festival is coming to an end, but this year, there is still a major event, and that is the crown prince ceremony.
At the ceremony, the next prince will be elected, and Leon has the highest voice, but Freya and Black Charlie will definitely not sit still. And the military ~ forces and robed nobles who hate the post-party will definitely pull Downton out as a target to attack Queen Oni.
There are also the protectors~emperors~ factions. Even if they were the weakest, they did not give up the opportunity to let Henry return to power.
"I don't care what kind of prince I am, I just want to find out where I came from, what happened to my mother, and the mother who raised me and Elaine so hard, who is she?"
There are so many mysteries in Downton's mind. Elaine, as the third princess of Yves Saint Laurent, why did she live with her?
Some people say that it was Downton's mother who found him a child ~ adopted daughter-in-law, which is the most intolerable statement he can't tolerate, because that kind and gentle woman will never do such a vicious thing as snatching people's children.
In a luxurious dormitory. Oni, who was asleep, suddenly opened her eyes and stared coldly at the black-haired woman sitting on the windowsill.
"I said, I don't want to see you here. ”
Oni's voice was so cold that it seemed like the air in the room was about to freeze.
"In the past 20 years, you have changed so much, does having a child really make a woman go from one extreme to another?"
The brunette woman muttered to herself.
"If you're here to tease, fuck off. ”
Oni doesn't look good, and she already has signs of madness.
"Well, if you don't want to hear about Downton, then I'll leave. ”
The brunette shrugged her shoulders and faded.
"Wait, what's the plan?"
Oni compromises.
"I did everything you told me, but it was too worthless to seduce a little girl. ”
The black-haired woman is also in the realm of mist, and she is a terrifying powerhouse who is not worse than the status of the blind divine envoy.
"She didn't find out?"
Oni frowned.
"That little Lori's perception is very keen, but don't forget my title, but it will make anyone fall into the fog unconsciously, including you, of course. ”
The brunette chuckled.
"You're threatening me?"
Oni snorted.
"I just feel distressed to see my former friends change. The Mist Realm faded and left the room, "By the way, pay attention to your son, he and Downton are very close. ”
Oni sat alone until the early morning, and she did not come back to her senses until Leon arrived with breakfast.
"Anything else?"
Looking at her son, who wanted to stop talking, Oni said in a bad tone, "If it's about Downton, don't speak." ”
"But he's my brother after all!"
Leon's love and awe for his mother since he was a child made Leon never disobey her, but this time, he was rebelling.
"You don't have a brother, he doesn't deserve it, Freya and Charlie are the same, you are my child, you inherit my most noble blood!"
Oni waved her hand and slammed the food on the floor.
A chill pervaded the air, causing the servants to shrink their shoulders and not dare to breathe.
"You didn't teach me to deceive myself!"
Leone retorted.
"You ......"
Oni raised her hand and wanted to hit Leon, but seeing his undodging appearance, she was distressed and helpless, so she could only compromise, "Okay, I'll give Downton a chance, if he can convince me." I'll give him back the identity. ”
"Good!"
Leon understands that this is already the biggest concession of the queen mother, and in the past twenty years of the empire, it seems that Oni has ignored the government and led to the weakening of the queen party and the rise of other forces, but in fact, it is all an illusion.
Freya and Charlie thought they had a chance to fight back. It's just that Oni is too bored to let them have some fun for herself, and she can destroy everything about them at any time if she wants to, which is why Leon let Downton go.
The citizens didn't feel it at all, and they were still in the grand festive atmosphere, but the nobles could already feel the sense of oppression that the wind and rain were coming, and all forces were in full swing to prepare.
If it is the prince appointed by the king, then the eldest princess and Black Charlie will not break out if they have complaints. But Oni is different, a queen who is not related by blood, why should he obey?
Downton's movements are also noticed by all parties, even if there is no identification ceremony, judging from Henry's act of giving the Dark Heart Dagger, his identity is also about to be revealed.
It was in this tense and depressing preparation that the ceremony began. It's still at Buckingham Palace, but this time. It will be presided over by His Majesty the King, but his attendance is unlikely to be very likely.
As the Hand of the King of Frankfurt, Downton naturally received a gilded invitation.
"It's too late for you to refuse!"
Sissi helped Downton straighten the tie of his dress, and Wen Yan persuaded, "Oni is too mysterious. We've lost dozens of our best spies, and we've never been able to get a single piece of information. ”
"Thank you for everything you've done for me, but I have a reason why I can't retreat. ”
Downton shook Sissi's hand.
Sissi's cheeks flushed and she struggled.
"Gone!"
Downton took a step, and Sissi looked up. A wry smile was revealed, but then he chased after him with a determined expression.
Early in the morning, a large number of citizens gathered on both sides of the main avenue to watch this grand parade ~ procession, first the guard of honor of the Praetorian Guard, all kinds of floats, ceremonial bands, welcome teams, then members of the royal family, then the turn of guests from various countries, and finally the nobles
Today, all carriages must be open-topped, symbolizing the unity of the nobility and the burghers.
"Which is the Bavarian Rose?"
"Which carriage is in Frankfurt?"
"What about the Duke of Downton, he is said to be very handsome!"
As long as you want to see it, you can see royalty at various festivals, so the citizens have no interest in Oni and his party, and they gather here early, mostly to admire the face of the Bavarian rose, and by the way, to see Downton, which is in the limelight.
It's a long stretch of road, but no one is sitting, all waving to the townspeople.
"My face is going to stiffen!"
Xiao Hu Tao muttered, it was really difficult for her to keep her lively smile for a long time, "And I feel like a monkey being watched!"
"If you think about it this way, your food and clothing are all in exchange for their taxes, so a smile is also a reward. ”
Downton explained.
"Then I should laugh at the Frankfurt people!"
Hu Tao pouted, but stopped complaining, and waved his hand vigorously.
"It's the Duke of Downton!"
"Look this way, Duke, look this way, I love you!"
"I'm your fan, and I love your declaration that I am right!"
When Downton's carriage passed by, not only the girls, but also some young men shouted at him, their eyes full of adoration.
"Thank you!"
Downton smiled and saluted.
"Downton!"
"Downton!"
"Downton!"
I don't know who shouted first, and then the voices joined and resounded throughout Rensfeld.
The citizens all stood on tiptoe and looked in the direction of the source of the sound.
"Damn it!"
Black Charlie, who was waving, turned dark, and he also planned to take the opportunity to brush up on his presence among the people, but the scenery was stolen by Downton.
"Haha, those Celestia Celestia and Black Charlie are going crazy. ”
Othello gloated.
The nobles looked at each other, they didn't expect Downton's fame to be so great, and the guests from all over the world also began to consider the possibility of establishing ~ friendship with Downton.
"Boring!"
Oni, who was sitting in the carriage, snorted disdainfully.
At this time, on the long street, Downton's carriage is undoubtedly the most star-studded, not to mention the cute and beautiful walnuts in front of him, on the left is the third princess of Saint Laurent, Elaine, the alternate saint of the Holy See of Glory, and on the right is Princess Sisi and Bavarian Rose.
The men are handsome and cold, comparable to the statues of the Renaissance, and the women are beautiful and beautiful, as if the moon gods descended to earth, looking at them is a visual enjoyment.
"Downton's womanhood is amazing. ”
Countless men looked at Sissi in a dress, and they were so envious and jealous that they were about to vomit blood, and being able to marry this girl was definitely a good deed that could only be obtained after dozens of lifetimes.
Buckingham Palace has arrived!
Hu Tao jumped down, stepping on the red carpet, a little overwhelmed, and the Praetorian Guards on both sides with helmets and armor on their shoulders, wiping the armor and weapons can reflect the light.
Downton stepped out of the carriage and reached out to help Elaine.
"I'll do it myself!"
Elaine gave Downton a look and asked him to take care of Sissi.
"Your Highness!"
Several princes and heirs of many wealthy families immediately rushed up, greeted Elaine, and got Sissi's affection, they didn't dare to think about it, but it was not bad to get Elaine's favor, you must know that she was the most favored princess of the bloody queen, and the annual taxes of the five mining estates were a huge wealth.
"Thank you!"
Elaine refused, and pulled Hu Tao towards the palace, if these men were half as good as his brother, he wouldn't mind associating with them, but unfortunately they didn't.
Sissi took Downton's arm and felt that if the palace was turned into a church and the dress became a white wedding dress, it would definitely be the happiest moment of her life.
"Duke, the Empress, please go to the back!"
Some time before the ceremony began, Downton was approached by a courtier.
"I'm with you. ”
Sissi worried.
"I'm sorry, the Queen only received Downton!"
The courtier stopped Sissi, who had a pair of brown pupils and looked oozing like a cold-blooded animal.
"If there is something, activate it to warn!"
Sissi handed a ring to Downton, her face worried.
"Don't worry!"
Downton patted Sissi on the shoulder and followed the courtiers away.
The nobles, who had been paying attention to them for a long time, cast their inquiring eyes.
After walking through a winding promenade, Downton was ushered in front of a back garden.
"Please!"
After the courtier finished speaking, he turned to leave.
Downton took a deep breath and walked in, under the wooden frame covered with grapevines, there was a round table, a noble lady sat there, not knowing what to think again, her eyes were deep and distant, and the black tea in her hand had long since cooled.
"Queen!"
Downton saluted.
"You should call me Auntie!"
Oni withdrew her gaze and stared at Downton's body, that gaze was like a sharp blade, and even his will couldn't help but feel tingling.
"Haha, the queen is really joking!"
Downton couldn't figure out what Oni meant.
"No, your mother, is my good sister. ”
Oni's voice, with its rare tenderness, was clearly a nostalgia for the past.
Downton was not moved, but his pupils shrank sharply and he lowered his head.
"I'm sorry, your mother died in an accident and I wanted to save her, but by the time I arrived, it was too late. ”
Oni recounted.
"My mother is a saint of the previous generation?"
Downton asked.
"Yes!"
Oni couldn't hide it.
"How did she die?"
Downton asked.
"You'd better end your doubts here, because her death is a scandal, and if you don't want to make it known to the world and make her lose face, just keep your mouth shut. ”
Oni warned.
"And then?"
Downton asked rhetorically, a mocking smile on his lips.
"I can return you to the royal family of Brittany, and besides, Leon has a crush on you, and I want you to assist him. ”
Oni spoke her mind and was tough. (To be continued......)
