Three hundred years later, one can see a whip in the historical pavilion of Versailles, made of ash wood, wrapped in black silk thread at the position of the handle, without any other decoration, it is simply different from the other exhibits in the pavilion, if it is not placed in a constant temperature and moisturizing glass case, some people may think that it is the tool that the narrator has placed in the corner.

Needless to say, it aroused the curiosity of many people, who did not understand why such an object could be preserved so preciously, and inevitably looked at the explanation board next to it, and after a few minutes, almost all of them would have a smile of understanding on their faces - especially those parents with many children.

It's really just an ordinary ash whip, and the point is, it's been whipped the butts of several dignitaries.

When the Duke of Orleans ran down, the situation was already under control, and of course the defeated Spaniards were furious, but as Ferdinand said, this was Versailles, not Madrid or Toledo, and the Duke of Orleans promised to give them a reply, and they couldn't force these French to pay the price immediately- They weren't entirely on the side of justice, as Carlos II's attendants had made a fuss before, and at all times, a group of men should be respectful and tolerant of a young lady.

Carlos II was a little absent-minded when he returned to the room, his mind was full of things instilled in him by the Archbishop of Toledo and Patinho, there was not much to think about himself, and in order to give him the prestige of a king as soon as possible, the archbishop used some despicable means that made him not care about the squires - only Alberoni and José Patinho could barely be regarded as one person by him - He went straight back to his bedchamber and began to rummage intently in his bag, what kind of gift should he give to the lord of the county?

The two attendants on whom he relied were Father Albert and Patinho had taken up the task of pacifying the other Spanish attendants, and Patinio severely reprimanded the young men who were full of reluctance, for the French did not use any vile or shameless means in a multi-man duel, and that their companions were killed and wounded because they were too light, and that they should remember that their mission was not to fight the French, but to bring back a noble and rich bride for their king.

And now, of course, add beauty and health.

Father Albert said that he would pray for his dead colleague, but fortunately the French would never allow a second dead to appear, and that the wounds left by the stabbing sword would not cripple them, which was their misfortune, but it could also be used as a bargaining chip in the negotiations, and in any case, they were wounded and lost their lives in the Palace of Versailles.

It took them a great deal of rhetoric to get rid of their indignant Spanish companions, who were not entitled to a room in Versailles.

"What do you think...... Will the King of France make concessions at the negotiating table over this matter?" asked Patinho, a few years older than him and the heir appointed by the Archbishop of Toledo, who still had some respect for the clergy.

"I would prefer that we have a chance to negotiate. "France is no longer the France it was twenty years ago. ”

"Your Majesty is the King of Spain. Patinho said.

"Perhaps the biggest problem is here," said Father Albert, remembering what the Archbishop of Toledo had said to him, deeply worried, hoping that the secret would not be leaked out as the previous one (referring to Carlos II's infertility before being treated by the Dark Wizards) - for Louis XIV, Spain did not have to be obtained through Carlos II's marriage to the Grand Lord, or rather, it was in France's best interest without this marriage.

Now they could only pray that the nobles and ministers of France would be able to send the Grand County Lords to the altar of the Spaniards, as they had done last time, for the sake of the state and their own interests.

Regardless of the delusions of the Spaniards, Louis XIV did not hesitate as Patinho and Father Albert expected, and if it were not for José Patinho, but Juan Patiño here, he would not have easily believed the Duke of Orleans - there are many things that are not answered immediately, and they will never be answered, and the Duke of Orleans has the power to make judgments and decisions on the spot, but he does not, which means that he will not care too much about this matter at all.

Led by the Duke of Orleans, the young men walked into the King's drawing room as if they had made a mistake, and Louis XIV leaned against his desk, seemingly casually flipping through a document, and only after the Duke of Orleans saluted him and whispered on his shoulder, he looked at them and smiled.

"Mary," he called the name of the Grand Lord, "you take your maids back to your chamber first." ”

The Grand Princess's curtsiness was already slightly uncomfortable, and as she turned around, she seized the opportunity to throw Frederick a warning look, telling the boys to be more cautious.

God knows what the eldest son and heir of the Elector of Brandenburg-Prussia were thinking - he gave the Grand Princess-Lord a wink.

The big county lord rolled his eyes at the sky, and it seemed that he could only resign himself to fate.

"I know what you just did. Louis XIV said, and the boys withdrew their gaze from the moving figures and looked respectfully at the ground.

"And I beg your pardon for our recklessness, Your Majesty," said Frederick, stepping forward, "but ...... then"

Louis waved his hand, "I know what the virtues of those Spaniards are," he said lightly, "no, I don't mean to blame you, why should I blame you, whether it be the king of Farranty or the uncle of the lord of the great county." ”

"And I, as a father, I should thank you. The Duke of Orleans also smiled and said, "Your thoughts coincide with mine, and I have always wanted to beat up these Spaniards—maybe a lot." ”

"You are a good father. Ferdinand said he thought that perhaps the Bourbon fathers were concerned about their children in this way.

"All I can say is that I will do everything I can to make my children happy. "The Duke of Orleans looked at them, in addition to Carlos II, there were also two strong contenders here, one was the eldest son of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, and the other was the eldest son of the Elector of Brandenburg, but for those greedy nobles, Tuscany and Brandenburg could never be compared with Spain, as for whether Carlos II's appearance was ugly, whether the sudden recovery was an inside affair, and how complicated and dangerous the situation in Spain was, it was not in their consideration— When a princess marries into a foreign country, she has always had to suffer, and sometimes her life is in danger, and people are used to it.

"Therefore," said Louis XIV, "not only will we not punish you, but we will reward you, good gentlemen." ”

When Louis XIV first gave a formal reward, it was to the Viscount of Tillenne and General Schaumberg, who at that time had a shy hand and could only reward them with his own accessories, and the current Sun King certainly did not have such concerns, seven boys, Frederick, Ferdinand, Anwo, and several young officers, including the Duke of Anghien, who was only eight years old. He cheered loudly for the others during the duel, and each of them was given a gilded musket and ten gold louis, which the king used to reward brave soldiers—not the king's head, but the Roman god of war, Mars, holding a spear.

This made the boys, who had been a little apprehensive, excited and proud, and just as they blushed with excitement and looked at the king's bounty with affection, the Duke of Orleans coughed softly and drew their attention back: "Well, in that case," he said, "with us the matter is over, and then," he said, "I think Her Majesty may wish to speak with you, gentlemen." ”
