Louis XIV could swear to God and the Virgin that he would definitely take Carlos II seriously, just like Carl XI of Sweden, but the problem is that when they first met, Carlos II did not expose a lot of problems, but after talking for a while, a sensitive person like Louis could detect all kinds of abnormalities in Carlos II- It's hard to explain this feeling, Carlos II's speech and demeanor reminded him of those terrifying dolls that had been made to life, they were extremely similar to humans, and they were always a little bit worse, even if he behaved very deferentially and amiably, it still made Louis feel that he would peel off the ugly skin of his body at any time, revealing his bloody nature.

He was not incapable of thinking, but lacked ego, and from his answers, Louis could hear the shadows of many people, ministers, bishops, and a certain noble lady, some of the answers were more like memorized, but—it was these memorized answers that would make the ministers of France ecstatic.

Some people may still remember that although they knew that Carlos was not on holiday, his appearance was ugly, and he was still a cripple and puppet, the call in France for the grand county lord to sign a marriage contract with him was still very high, after all, Spain was a huge camel, even if it lost the glory of a powerful country as early as Philip IV, its heritage should not be underestimated, and in terms of blood, the Habsburg blood in Louis XIV's body was better than the Bourbon blood- France and Spain had been married to each other for some time, and the French would undoubtedly be a slap in the face of Leopold I if the marriage contract between the Grand Marses and Carlos II had been concluded.

It can be said that for France, the marriage was more beneficial than harmful, and Spain was more willing to cede some important interests—that is, the instructors, soldiers and ships that the navy desperately needed.

But for Louis, he is not optimistic about this marriage, Spain and France have been married for a long time, but more often, it is as the other arm of the Austrian Habsburgs to restrain France; his crown prince Louis Jr. is the eldest princess of Portugal, what Spain can give, Portugal can also give, after all, it was these two overlords of the sea at that time; in addition, as far as he knows, Carlos II's current situation is not stable - no one knows what kind of monster the dark wizard's potion will create- His wizard confessed to him that if the potions of wizards could be so clever, wizards would not have to sneak into the so-called inner world to hide in order to avoid the encirclement and suppression of the church.

Specifically, if you can refer to Protestantism, why did those princes protect the Protestant leader Martin Luther, because he was good-looking? No, no, no, no, it is not because Protestantism can be a dagger for the royal power to stab the church? This is war, on the other hand, if the wizards could really resurrect the dead, cure the stubborn disease, and turn a demented cripple into a healthy man, the current church would have ceased to exist a long time ago.

Carlos II gave Louis XIV the feeling of being a deformed monster with many hands stitched together, but he could impregnate a woman, and giving birth to a child made Louis XIV's biggest hole card useless, and what was wrong with being ugly, eccentric, and dull-minded for the ministers? As long as the Bourbon blood can be preserved in Spain, they still wish that Carlos II was a fool, as long as the lord of the county can give birth to an heir to Spain, and when the queen mother dies, she will be the highest-ranking woman in the court, and she can hold her husband and children hostage to dictate the political affairs of Spain, wouldn't it be a good deal for France?

The Sun King, feeling a rare feeling of weariness, asked Bontang to lead the distinguished guest down to rest—the Palace of Versailles had always had three reserved suites for the purpose of entertaining such uninvited guests, "Also, let the Duke of Orleans come and see me, and I will have dinner with him." Louis XIV said.

——————

Louis planned to talk to his brother about it at dinner, but as the head of the secret agent in the court, it was impossible for the Duke of Orleans not to know about it, and he recorded an account of Prince Conte, but he was also a little helpless, after all, for a person like Prince Conti, a marriage, the man looks at status and power, and the woman looks at the dowry, what does it have to do with appearance and figure? To put it mildly, once the curtain is put down, even a donkey can endure it— In history, there are many young kings who marry an ugly, fat, and old wife, or a cardamom princess who marries someone who can be her grandfather, Carlos II, although ugly, but noble in blood, and has a huge empire, to be able to become the queen of Spain, seriously, it will be something that many noble ladies dream of.

Some people even say that if Carlos II did not have such a flaw, then he should have asked to marry the eldest princess, not the great princess.

The distraught Duke of Orleans considered when to find an excuse to beat Prince Conte, so he received the king's order to let him go to dinner with him, and it was common for the royal brother to have dinner with the king, but today the king must discuss the matter with him, and the Duke of Orleans knew that this marriage, not only was he unwilling, but Louis was also unwilling, it only depended on how they could convince those ministers.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and when there was no feast, the king would have supper at six o'clock in the afternoon, not nine or ten, and the Duke of Orleans had little time left, so he put in order his work, and with the heart of a worried old father, he prepared to leave for the king's suite.

But before he could see the Grand Canal outside the window, he heard a fierce commotion and the sound of gold and iron pounding, and the duke, who had passed by the battlefield, immediately ran to the window and looked out.

He immediately saw his daughter, who was guarded by several teenagers, facing a group of Spaniards.

——————

Although Carlos II came to Versailles alone in written language, even when Charles II wandered around the countries of Europa as Duke of Cornwall, he still had a large group of servants around him, and Louis XIV was surrounded by attendants and servants when the Fronde rebelled and was forced to flee from Paris, and Carlos II, as the king of Spain, was also surrounded by attendants and servants.

Most of these attendants and servants, like the servants of the nobles, lived in the complex under the Palace of Versailles, which had almost become the Acropolis of Versailles, and they left every night and entered the palace in the morning to serve their masters, but there were also some attendants who had the right to live with their masters in the suites of Versailles, including José Patinho, the nephew of Juan Patiño, and Alberoni, a disciple of the Archbishop of Toledo, who could be said to have "grown up" with Carlos II Trusted by the moody king, one stood in front of Carlos II, the other standing between the two groups, both anxious and unsure of what to do.

Since the eldest princess got married, Marie, the daughter of the Duke of Orleans, is the highest status among the nobles of the same age, she and the eldest princess are the two pearls in the crown of France, the eldest princess left, her brilliance became more and more eye-catching, in the court of Versailles, the wild bee wave butterfly chasing the princess does not know how many - although the possibility of the princess marrying is very high, but who doesn't want to try it, that is a noble girl who has no princess name, but has the princess!

The big princess is also used to it, she is always surrounded by countless people, with various purposes, but there are only a handful of people who can communicate with each other except the eldest princess- Her lady-in-waiting, like the queen, the king's attendants, needed to look at their birth and status, the only exception may be Eva, a young lady from humble beginnings, but because of her contribution to the previous Dunkirk counterinsurgency, she was summoned by Louis XIV, perhaps because of some qualities in her that impressed the king, and the king made a special exception for her to be the lady-in-waiting of the lord of the county.

This inevitably caused some waves, but Louis XIV was in power for 20 years, invincible on the battlefield, and also handy in the political arena, as he said, he can now be willful, the queen mother does not care, when the queen is asked, she said, my son has a Tatar by his side, so those whispers slowly disappeared.

The root cause of the conflict lies with this Eva lady.

Since a few years ago, the Spanish dress has been subconsciously moving towards the French fashion, especially after the scholars and craftsmen of Louis XIV developed the latest dyes, which the old-school Spaniards called "frivolous" The bright colors of the court gradually took over, but this private visit, as if to declare the identity of the Spaniards, from Carlos II, his attendants were all dressed in traditional black coats with shoulder straps, although wigs were also used, and the shirts were also decorated with lace and lace, but at first glance it was clear that they were not French.

Such a group of people walked in Versailles was very prominent, especially their king Carlos II, and even made some of the nobles who were caught off guard very angry, which made Carlos II's entourage very angry, although they should be considerate - they were used to seeing their king's face, but the nobles of Versailles usually admired the Bourbon royal family as a landscape...... As nobles and knights, they couldn't be angry with women, but their anger built up.

As for Eva, although she also received the education necessary for a maid, she was still very different from the nobles who were immersed day and night in Versailles, for example, those noblewomen who were stunned when they saw Carlos II, although panicked, they could immediately guess the identity of the person and retreat from the salute.

On the other hand, Eva, who had a head-on encounter with the Spaniards, didn't find such a person to be afraid of - remember that her uncle and father were also privateer owners, and many of them were injured in battle by fire, swords, or venom, and their faces might have been more hideous than those of Carlos II, but she didn't know whether to salute or not—she hadn't seen them......

She may have hesitated for only a few seconds, but the Spaniards, who could no longer contain their anger, broke out, and instead of embarrassing the lady, they demanded a duel with her brother or husband, if he would not apologize to the King of Spain.

Eva's husband had been executed for a long time, and Eva would have been willing to call him out of the coffin to apologize to the Spaniards if she could, but then, hearing that her maid had been kept by the Spaniards, the Grand Princess, hurried in.

Carlos II may not have forgotten this wonderful sight in the evening, surrounded by marble and bronze sculptures, transparent water splattered from the water bottles, bows and arrows in the hands of the sculptures, and even from their mouths, on their chests, refracting countless brilliant tiny points of light in the golden red, gauzy light, in which a young girl in a long opalescent dress walked towards him, surrounded by a group of young girls.

Her face was surrounded by a holy glow, and her long golden-brown hair was curled with no jeweled combs or pins, only the first blooming gardenias and verdant foliage, and her neck and wrists were adorned with ivory and pearls, but even those two were eclipsed by her white skin.

She came to Carlos II and curtsied, what she said, Carlos II could hardly hear clearly, but even the angel's singing could not be more beautiful, his eyes moistened—since he had been "healed", he had been surrounded by no less maids in the prime of life, but none of them could do so...... He couldn't describe it, he didn't have enough time to study poetry, but he wanted to recite a poem, eagerly, passionately, he looked at the lord blankly, and his heart seemed to melt in the last afterglow.

José Patiño is also looking at the Grand Princess, his uncle is in favor of the king to change the marriage contract and choose the Grand Princesse of France as his wife, one of his reasons is very important, that is, the Grand Princesse of France is already fifteen years old, and he can still have children as soon as he gets married, and the daughter of Leopold I is seven or eight years younger than the Grand Lord, and it will take at least five or six years for her to have children.

Although Juan Patinho did not make it to the end, the clever José Patinho also thought that perhaps the situation of Carlos II was not as rosy as one might think - that he could not wait for Antonia, the daughter of Leopold I......

Not long ago, José had also met the princess with his uncle, Antonia, whose appearance was of course completely incomparable to that of the great lord of France, short stature, weak voice, and an eight-year-old child who looked like he was only six years old, and it was difficult to say that there was anything likely to change in four years, or six years from now—and besides, the wizard they brought with him also said that Princess Antonia's vitality was not as vigorous as the current Carlos II, and it was difficult to say whether they could have children together.

But the Grand Lord, José, immediately after the initial throbbing, obsessed the ...... of the county lord Chest and buttocks......
