Louis did not have much desire for the love of men and women, or for simple desire, and he tried to find comfort in Mary, but it backfired. He tries to convince Marie that he has entered into a witch engagement with her because of love, but the king is well aware that this is just a deal he has made with the Mancini family, and that it is also his ambition for the inner world.

Now the ministers were worried that he was being bewitched by a Spanish woman, and asked him to choose a "royal lady", and Louis's first thought about this was how to make the most of it, and his thoughts flew over a group of noblewomen, but all he thought about was whether he could find out from these noblewomen what was worth using, and whether they were beautiful or intelligent was not in the king's consideration and comfort.

"I see," he said to his brother, "go and tell the Queen Mother, and I will think it carefully." ”

Philip, Duke of Orleans, bowed gracefully and withdrew, Louis wanted to return his attention to the papers, but found that he could not concentrate, he already knew that Mary had bore him a son, from the inner world, he was Louis's firstborn son, Louis named him in his letter, Clovis was the king of the Frankish period, the Franks led by Clovis I, the last ruler of the Roman Empire in northern Gaul, Sigrius. This victory used Frankish rule to expand north of the Loire and establish the Kingdom of the Franks, naming the newborn after this name to represent the king's expectations of him.

But the queen's son, the firstborn of the world, will be named Louis, because Louis IX is also a king and a saint, so people like to call his descendants the son of Saint Louis, and as if to show their legitimacy, starting from Louis XIII, kings will name their eldest son Louis, his son will be Louis XV, his grandson will be Louis XVI, and his great-grandson will be Louis XVII...... As scary as it sounds, there are very few opportunities for their names to be called, either as kings or heirs, as Louis is now called His Majesty, and his brother Philippe is His Royal Highness or Duke of Orleans...... The Duchess of Montpensier was often referred to as the Grand Lord, perhaps because there were so many overlapping names at this time......

The king's mind galloped far like a horse with wings, and after a mountain of cases, which His Majesty could only use for a short pastime, after half an hour of wandering as he pleased, summoned Bontang and told him to invite the king to dinner with him later and to prepare himself a precious gift.

Queen Theresa seldom had dinner with the king, a privilege that usually belonged only to the ministers of the previous dynasty, or to the royal brother Philippe, who came dressed up to thank Louis for the purple jasmine powder and rouge that he had managed to develop in order to make a fortune, and the queen's face was as white as lime, but she did not have to worry about affecting the child in her womb - the pregnant queen had a good appetite compared to the king, and she used two soups, a roast meat, a quail stew with mushrooms, and bread, Boiled eggs and cheese, she has always been calm in front of the king, perhaps because of Louis's respect for her in the past few months, although the rumors outside are unpleasant, but on the other hand, she also has something to rely on, and the nobles of the court only dare to whisper behind their backs.

What the King did not expect was that the Queen had first brought up the subject of "Lady of the Royal Family," she said, puffing out her chest—not that she intended to do so, but that the bulging belly did not allow her to bend over, "you should have a lover." ”

This sentence made Louis immediately look at her expression, the young but not beautiful queen did not have too many strange looks on her face, neither pain nor disappointment, she did not love Louie, but this point was determined as early as a child, even as a queen, may not be able to guarantee that her husband can be faithful to her, just like the former Queen of Sweden Christina, although she executed her lover for treason, but people still say that she was because of the jealousy of women, which made the people talk a lot, because such behavior is really not tolerant and elegant enough, it is not decent, she is still living in Paris, but wants to continue to gain the support of France, to return to Sweden or become the queen of Naples, there is really little hope, the world is like this, what should have been absurd, but it has become a sin, it should have been taken for granted.

For Teresa, the king's lack of a lover, or rather, before having an heir with her, and having been by her side for the past few months, can already be said to be benevolent, and she feels the king's benevolence, of course, does not make him feel embarrassed, and for a Spanish queen, she does not want the king's Miss Mancini to return to the court, she is the king's first love, rude by nature, and a greater threat to her than any noblewoman.

"I haven't decided yet. Louie said.

"Let's have a couple of dances, then. The queen said.

Then she held a few balls, and because her pregnancy had been recognized, she only danced the opening dance with the king and then retired, leaving the king with a group of young and lovely nobles, including the daughters or nieces of powerful nobles.

But the more attentive they were, the more annoying Louis became, and he complained to his brother Philip that it didn't look like he was picking a lover, but like a group of kittens fighting for a ball of yarn, and even if those claws and teeth were cute, it would not be pleasant to be snatched from place to place, and this wonderful metaphor made Philip laugh out loud, and he put his hand on the hilt of his sword as he laughed - the next moment, the smile suddenly disappeared from his brother's face, and Philip drew his sword in an instant, pointing to the shadow of the corridor: "Come out!" He shouted in a deep voice.

The king drew his sword, too, and the corridor belonged to the king, and no one else had the right to walk it, and now only the queen mother, the royal brother, and a few credible ministers were granted permission.

After a few seconds, a skirt was removed from the shadows, and then the owner of the dress, and Philip looked surprised, for it was none other than one they knew but were not very close to—Louise, the lady-in-waiting of Princess Henrietta.

Her appearance also made Philip feel a little strange, and then he suddenly realized that he felt strange because this maid had made a rare delicate costume and put on gorgeous clothes, he glanced at the royal brother with a smile, and lowered the tip of his sword, Louis paused, Louise made the deepest impression on him, nothing more than in the red children's bazaar, he did not let down his vigilance.

"Is there anything I need to do for you, ma'am?" asked Philip.

Louise was pale, but resolutely lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed deeply to the king and duke...... After so much immersion in the court, she was no longer as clumsy and helpless as she had been when she first arrived, but she was still nervous and almost broke her shoulder.

"I have something that I want to talk to you about alone. Her words made Philip's smile a little more real, "Your Majesty," he asked, "perhaps I need to avoid it." ”

"It won't be long," said Louis, "go back to your room first, and let Bontang pick me up." ”

"I'll wait for you," said Philip, "and I'm at the other end of the hallway." ”

Then he left the candle behind and went away by the moonlight. But the king could still see him, and he could see the king, but he couldn't hear them.

Louise was the lady-in-waiting of Princess Henrietta of England, but in 58 the king considered a traitor, and the Lord Protector of England, Oliver Cromwell, died and inherited his title, title and the eldest son of the army, Richard, Cromwell did not have the skills and ambition of his father to control Parliament. The elders and generals, who were cowardly and ignorant by nature, lost all the power left to him by his father in just a few months, and George Munch, who had been mentioned by Louis, was disappointed, and united with Thomas Fairfax, who had returned to the political center, to rebel against most of the generals, intending to welcome back Charles II, who was still in exile, if Charles II could return to London and become a veritable king, then his mother and sister would not continue to be under the fence in Paris, and Louise would naturally follow the princess she served.

Philip guessed that Louise might also want to try to see if she had any chance of gaining the king's favor like those noblewomen, so he immediately gave in, and although this lady-in-waiting was of a special appearance—not unbeautiful, but not in line with the requirements of a lady nowadays, that is, though she was slender, she was too healthy, almost strong, never fainted, and had great strength—because she had carried the fainting Princess Henrietta back to her bedroom several times, alone.

But Philip also knew that his royal brother had a very peculiar aesthetic, just like Mary, she was beautiful, but not docile enough, and too greedy, but the king always treated her differently. Who knows if Louise will be the next Mary?

"Now you can say it. The king said kindly.

"Can you go with me to the next room? Your Majesty. Louise whispered, frowning as if she had made a very dangerous decision, and Louis was silent for a moment, rubbing his pocket, and the kitten in his pocket moved, "All right," he said, "as you wish." ”

They went into the room together, which was empty, and Louise pulled the curtain over the window a little to let in the moonlight, and she looked sad and bit her lower lip so much that she almost begged her to stop being so embarrassed.

"I suppose," said Louise, standing seven or eight paces from Louis, almost from one end of the room to the other, "you must remember Monsieur Breland." ”

"I remember. "This Louis will not forget.

"He's my father. ”

Louis let out a slight sigh, no longer so surprised, after all, the other party would not mention Brelan for no reason, he reached into his coat pocket, the cat was poking its head out of it, its eyes glowed with a cold cold light, and its little nose sniffed hard, but it was not until a few seconds later that it finally blew up, for no other reason, just because Louise was untying the necklace around her neck, this silver lace necklace almost never left her, I think this is also a magic paraphernalia that Breland prepared for his daughter, to hide the smell and characteristics of werewolves。

When the necklace was untied, the king, even if he could not smell Louise, could see that her eyes were golden in the moonlight, and in the light were conical black pupils, and she bent her head, endured in pain, and said intermittently, "I...... I want to thank you, Your Majesty. ”

"Say it. Louie replied calmly.

"You saved twice...... My father's life. Louise said, "I...... I hope to be able to give you something back......"

"What kind of return?"

"I hope to be able to ...... with you Do a special bonding ritual ......"

"I have heard of the werewolf fellowship ritual," the king whispered, "but your father did not do it, so why should you do it?"

"That's what my father asked," Louise gasped, "my father...... He has left me, forever...... Your Majesty, although you saved him, his life has come to an end, so he begs me to ...... Let me befriend you. ”

"Is it just for those two favors?"

Louise turned her face to look ashamed, "And my people. ”

"Oh...... Serbian werewolves. ”

Louise made a voice like a cry: "The Ottoman Turkish governor of Serbia is dispersing us, we have nowhere to go, so ...... My father was willing to stoop to serve Charles I...... But ......"

"How many people do you have?"

"There are only a hundred or so. ”

"I see. "More than a hundred, this number is really nothing, even if it is the inner world, it is pure chicken ribs, no wonder Charles II immediately abandoned the werewolf after discovering the prospect of returning to China.

"What do you want?"

"A place to hide. ”

"What do I get?"

"From now on we will follow us and be at our disposal. ”

"You came to see me because you wanted to be my lover. ”

"I can't find the right reason to stay with you. Louise's face was a beautiful flush even in the moonlight, and she was ashamed of her manly directness in her quiet words.

"Well, I accept it. "Come," the king said, "Come," he stretched out his hand, "come to me." ”

Louise trembled, "Don't be afraid of me, Your Majesty. With that, her face was elongated horribly and slowly, white fur rolled out from under her skin, she howled in pain, her body bent to the ground, her hands straightened, and then she changed into claws, and so did her feet, her dress and soft shoes were torn, her ring cracked, and when she finally stopped changing, it was a great silver wolf crouching before the king. 8)
