Queen Mary fainted at once upon hearing the news that her husband, her king, had been put to death in public by a group of shameless traitors, but she soon came to her senses with the help of salt and spirits, and inquired in detail about Charles I, who later said that the queen held a handkerchief to wipe tears in one hand and a cross in the other, and while praying incessantly for her husband, she also expressed that she was proud of her husband, because Charles I did not show his cowardice in front of the mobs, and did not tarnish his Scottish status, the Honour of the King of England and Ireland.

The rebels agreed that the king should go through a fair trial to determine his guilt, so Charles I was tried at Westminster Abbey in London after his capture - ironically, Westminster Abbey was also the place where the English king was crowned after the Reformation - Charles I did not recognize the legitimacy of the court, he refused to defend himself, and he did not admit any charges, but fifty-nine of the last hundred and thirty-five members of the special court signed an order issued by Cromwell, the leader of the traitors, to execute the king, who they called thugs, traitors, murderers, and enemies of the state.

Just on January 30, 1649, the venerable, but unfortunate king, was guillotined, and it is said that he did not panic, smiled, and even recited a poem calling himself a martyr for the people. 、

At this point the messenger wept bitterly, and Queen Mary fainted again, but she nevertheless managed to entertain and repay the faithful man, which was not easy for them—they had fled from Paris in a hurry, empty-handed, and in order to maintain the king's due prestige, Queen Anne had begun to secretly pawn her own jewels, and for a time could not take care of her husband's sister and niece.

However, it is also said that Princess Henriette was a cruel person by nature, and she did not even cry for her father.

For Louie, there is no more pure malice than this. Henriette was only four years old, a child who could only cry when pushed off her chair, and she had not seen her father since she was born, and her only impression came either from dictation or from the small portrait on the pendant. Besides, can a child of this age really understand what death is? unless she has had another life.

But Louis could only remain silent, because he knew that the rumors were at the behest of the Queen Mother, that is, from his mother Anne - there were people who were trying to promote his marriage to Henriette, and Queen Anne and Bishop Mazarin only wanted to keep the positions of France and Queen Navarre as the most powerful bargaining chips in their hands, yes, France did have many enemies, but there were also many people who wanted to be its allies.

He knew that he should control himself with the sanity of an adult, but he could not help but be irritable, and the ten-year-old boy was always surging with hot blood, making him do many things that he could not understand himself, just as he was uncontrollably annoyed by the scorns of the wizards—their talents were commendable, but in the eyes of the king, they were just another form of mob.

But he couldn't help but ask Bishop Mazaran about it. Bingye fled, when he encountered a werewolf, he felt for the first time that death was so close to him, the king in reality was completely different from the king in the book, he would be ignored by his courtiers, deceived by his attendants, hunted down and even executed by his people, and now he had to face dark creatures that should only appear in nightmares, he urgently needed something that could reassure him, of course, he was mercilessly mocked, and fate was not lenient to him.

But Louis wasn't without gains, at least he knew that Mazarin's bottom line was lower than he thought, and that wizards might be even more arrogant and short-sighted than he thought.

But to say that they really wanted nothing of worldly power, the king absolutely did not believe it.

Without an attempt, they would not have become in-laws with Mazarin, looking at Marie's age, wasn't 1642 the year when Mazarin entered the Cardinal, they should have made the decision when Mazarin was recommended to Louis XIII by Richelieu, after all, Marie de De from Italy, after the Medici Queen Mother lost power, the closest Italian to power in the court was Jules Mazarin. Not only did they facilitate the marriage, but they also sent Marie Mancini to Mazarin as the Queen Mother's maid.

Louis thought that Mazarin would not allow him to continue with Marie Mancini, but what he did not expect was that Mazarin not only acquiesced to their dealing, but also deliberately encouraged them to go out and about, Louis did not know what he did at first, but then he met Queen Mary of England - it was obvious that Mr. Bishop's indulgence was the lesser of two evils, and he was worried that the young Louis would be encouraged or persuaded by Queen Mary.

Queen Mary was indeed pathetic, and Louis had great sympathy for her, and for Princess Henriette, and for his cousin, but he did not think that he could help her, and he was far from power, and even if he could, why not order the Grand Duke of Condé to recover Paris for him, and eradicate the mob, lest everyone suffer together in Saint-Germain-Léon.

She was doomed to disappointment.

But Louis's gentleness still comforted her, but unfortunately with Queen Anne and Mazarin, her Henriette could not become Queen of France.

——————

Bishop Mazaran lifted the curtain in front of the window only a small gap, and he looked at his little king, Louis standing in the courtyard, watching Queen Mary of England leave with regret in her arms, and his heart was comforted, sour, and afraid.

"Tell me," asked Queen Anne, "what worries you so much? Mr. Bishop, is it my child, is it Louis?"

"Do you think he was instigated by anyone?" said Mazarin, "no, Your Majesty, I can only say that I thought that there could be no natural ruler...... But I seem to be wrong. ”

"Are you accusing Louie?"

"No, I mean, he's already adept at what he can get his hands on, and he knows exactly what he wants. ”
