Chapter 92: The Power Given by the King

After this little turmoil, they went to see the part of the swamp that had been drained in the warm sunset, and it is said that the wanderers found a lot of fish in it, although these fish belonged to the king, but the king only asked to take more than a cubit of fish, so now the people of Versailles have learned to mix small fish with flour, The onions were wrapped together and roasted, and today's dinner between the king and Mary was this, and with the king's guidance, this fish dish was certainly not bad, and the king's chef had enough fat to fry the small fish first.

They slept in an adjoining room that night, with only a door in between—for a moment, the king wavered, after all, he was sixteen years old, but he still did not let Bontang leave, and Bontang slept on one side of the room waiting for the king's orders— In the middle of the night he heard the sound of Sissy Soso, sweeping the floor like a feather, and then the door was gently scratched, and the king looked at Bonton, the servant who had always been alert to the slightest movement and would jump up (except for the occasional errand), bent over his body and face towards the wall, motionless, Louis amused, and reluctantly walked barefoot out of the bed, leaning against the little door.

He didn't speak, his ears were pressed against the door, he heard a nervous breathing, and then Louie felt something poking at his chest, he looked down, and by the bright moonlight he saw a cutest little finger in the world, coming out of the keyhole, spinning around his linen underwear, and after he stepped back a little, it spun around like a puppy that couldn't find its owner, and hooked it down. Louis uncontrollably stretched out his little finger and touched it, and it immediately hooked the king's finger tightly, or rather, the king tried to hook it, for the little finger that was revealed through the keyhole was only a short section.

Still not speaking, but moving more than a sound, Louis put his hand on the latch of the door, which had been set up for husband and wife, and the husband was here and the wife was in the next room, and if they wanted to tell about love, they would open the door and sleep together—and if the king wanted to see Mary, he would just open the door and go inside, into the depths of the roses, and enjoy the velvety petals and the rich fragrance.

He pressed against the cold door, so that it could take away the scorching heat, and he was so hard that he even felt pain, until he was hurt by the relief above, and the king subconsciously stroked the pattern on it, as if it were fate, and the sight he saw during the day was thrown into his mind— It was the story of Helios, the god of the sun, and Clytius, the nymph of Mizusawa, Clytius was once a pair of lovers with Helios, but because of Helios's empathy, Clytius managed to kill his new love with a knife, and the sun god Helios no longer met her, but Clytius's love did not die, she turned into a sunflower, followed the sun day by day, and hung down her heavy head every night - This is the story depicted in this beautiful relief, and it made the king's heart suddenly sober, and it was precisely because he loved Mary, and even loved her, that he could not let go of his emotions...... He leaned down, kissed the little finger, and pushed it back.

The next day they returned to Paris, and Marie was immediately summoned by the Queen Mother, who was still worried about that, and she didn't care about Mary's reputation compared to the king—yes, in this era, a husband who is angry because his wife has a lover is to be ridiculed, because marriage, especially nobles, is mostly for the sake of titles, Dowry and fidelity, or for all sorts of overt or covert deals, and a husband is angry with his wife for this reason, either because he lacks charm or money, and can only seek love in a legal partner, or he is really in love with his wife, and the latter act is not only not praised, but despised as only an inferior person would do that— But on the other hand, a young girl should remain innocent before marriage, and after marriage, if she wants to find love, she must wait until she gives birth to her eldest son with her husband, otherwise it will be regarded as a dereliction of duty.

Therefore, there are two completely different views on marriage and chastity, in the camp of the Prince of Condé, the Duke of Longueville was secretly ridiculed by many for admitting that he knew that he was not his eldest son, and the Duchess of Longueville was also quite complaining about the Queen Mother, but compared with the behavior of the Duke of Motmar - Marrying a wife purely for love is another joke bordering on a scandal, and it is no wonder that he immediately threw himself into the king's command, otherwise he, as well as his wife and stepdaughter, might not have been given another chance to enter the court in this life.

The queen mother is a little dissatisfied with Mary, of course, because illegitimate children are not entitled to inherit the throne in the inheritance law, so she does not mind that Mary has intimate relations with the king, and does not care about giving her the title of "royal lady", as for Mary's marriage after that, there is always a desire for profit, and the powerful guy is willing to accept such a wife - the king noticed this time, before setting off another wave in the court, he also let Mary stay by his side when he summoned the minister, and deliberately sought Mary's advice on a few small issues.

Later, when Mary hurried in the door, the king thought that some of the priests of the Inquisition were following after the little witch, but no, as soon as Mary stood in front of him, she nervously and quickly opened a box, and it was facing the sun, and the king's eyes were suddenly blinded with a dazzling light, and he hurriedly turned to the side.

"Someone gave me a set of diamond jewelry!" Mary gasped, "Your Majesty, it's a real diamond!"

Louis smiled helplessly: "Is there anything strange?"

"Why did he give me this?" called Mary, "Merlin, he's not after me!"

"Of course not. Louie wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingertips, oh, it was so bright: "He has a request for you." ”

"I don't understand. ”

"There's nothing I can't understand, Mary. Louis said mildly: "They now know that you are the person I value, so they are going to bribe you." ”

"Bribe me?"

"They want you to speak for me. Louis said, "So take it, it's all right." ”

He closed the box and placed it in Mary's hand: "You can recommend someone to me, Mary, and this is the right I have given you." “
