As Miledi walked out of the room, he met Ronke and Merfa, and they exchanged a look, "Lady Miledy," Ronke asked, "Are you leaving the Colonna Palace, or the Inner World?"

"It's just the Colonna Palace," said Miledi, "after all, it is not appropriate for me to stay here at this moment." ”

"Then it seems that we are going to wish you enough luck in the days ahead. Rong Ke said.

Milady smiled, "I believe so," she said, "and the Mancini family will give me a place to live." She chuckled at the thought of the young wizard, for the men and women of the Mancini family, though they were so good-looking, had little to say about the sophistication and sociability of the lovely Miss Mary, and Felipe Mancini, whom she had heard, and who were only lucky to be in the Mancini family, and would have gone mad in a few days if they had been placed in the hell in which she had been.

However, it is also possible that the generosity of the Mancini family was only to keep an eye on her, so that the king's lover would not interfere with the king's relationship with Marie, and Milady did not correct them, and the Mancini family arranged for her a remote manor, which suited her to her liking, and when the king left the inner world, she could make waves to her heart's content.

The mist was filled.

Although the original intention of this marriage was not pleasant, but to be able to witness, no, it should be said to experience the weddings of wizards, Louis was still very curious, unlike weddings in the watch world, wizards' weddings are held at night, from moonrise to moonset, it is said that in the Mancini family, there are a series of complicated procedures, but in Louis, it is much simpler, or rather, those trivial matters are done by Mancini's side or hired wizards.

Looking out of the window, you can see that there is a clear stream like glass that is being introduced into the courtyard, meandering between the plants and trees, and everywhere you can see flowers in full bloom, from laurel to camellia, from chrysanthemum to rose, from rose to jasmine, the petals fall into the stream, and they carry them everywhere, and in addition to the petals, there are also golden shimmers in the stream, which are fragments of gold leaf, illuminated by the silver moonlight, like countless broken stars.

The statue of the mermaid was singing, the statue of the musician was playing, the voice was soft and soft, and the blue birds landed on the branches or their shoulders flapping their wings, completely ignoring what should have been their time to sleep.

The Palazzo Colonna is even more as if awakened, the reliefs on the walls, the knights in the atrium, the dripping beasts under the eaves, they all wake up, stretch their bodies, noisy goblins wipe their bodies, the curtains of doors and windows change from dark gray to beautiful royal blue, and the patterns of lilies can be seen in places that people do not notice.

Louis was dressed like any wizard, with his hood hanging behind him, a crown of roses pressed into his curly hair, which had gradually turned golden brown in recent years, and two heavy rings on his fingers, one of which was to be given to Marie, for which he valued it as much as the Mancini family, after all, it would be the representative and proof of his world in the future - the king gently rubbed the pattern on the surface of the ring while looking at the courtyard, and at this time the first guest had already arrived at the Palazzo Colonna.

A wizard of the Mancini family whispered to Louis on the side, there were not many wizard families who came here at the beginning, and after hundreds of years of fighting, there were only five surnames left, there is no doubt that they are all members of the House of Lords, and the speaker who takes turns to sit in the village, it should have been the turn of the Mancini family this year, but they are busy moving to the watch world, so they sold this qualification to Romano, and the head of the Romano family was also the first to arrive at the Palazzo Colonna because of this.

The nobles of wizards rarely rode in ordinary carriages, and on such formal occasions, they did not rude to ride owls and brooms, and their pegasus carriages circled above the Palazzo Colonna for a week, and then landed firmly on the edge of the dense forest outside the Palazzo Colonna—but these refer to the older and more calm wizards, and when the young wizards arrived, their way of arrival was a little more dramatic— What Louis saw was a pillar of fire, or a stream of water, falling from the sky, violently hitting the predetermined stone slabs, and then in the bursting flames or swirling currents, the wizards strode out with a little light or a wisp of mist, "This mode of travel is demanding," the wizard of the Mancini family whispered, "You must have strong magic, practice many times, and have fire and water around you." ”

It's really impressive, but it's a pity that Louis is a puzzled guy a lot of the time: "Those wizards who were burned to death?"

"Of course, they were deprived of their magic powers," said the wizard of the Mancini family, "and then they were burned to death—but most of them were mortals." ”

I knew, Louis said in his heart, and he pressed the crown and got up from his chair.

The communication of wizards is actually no different from that in the court, some people talk to Louis, they either have similar ideas with the Mancini family, or they want to seek a channel of supply and sale from the watch world, Louis also took the opportunity to learn about the output of the inner world, almost all the industries in the inner world cannot get rid of magic, even agriculture is no exception, they use mortals who have deprived their souls as livestock and tools, and then fill the exchange house with ordinary wizards, Bookstores and daily necessities, such as low-level positions that only require repetitive and monotonous labor, and then from the top down, the power is held by the big families, and the so-called House of Commons is only a window to select those who are dangerous.

Louie's careful listening satisfied the wizards, especially the Mancini family, who still did not give up their intention to let Louis stay in the inner world, but they did not dare to act too recklessly because of the king's threat.

As the moon was about to set, a soft mist rose from the ground, and the sight was seen as if through a veil, and the older wizards returned to their rooms smiling and handed over the second half of the wedding to the younger ones.

From the depths of the white mist, a column of witches appeared, all young and not dressed in robes, but draped in translucent tulle in the manner of the women of ancient Rome, their arms turned into swan's wings, and as they went, they flapped up and down softly, and the mist was opened in front of them like a curtain that had been lifted— They were followed by a group of male wizards, equally handsome and young, whose arms should have been stretched out were the wings of eagles, their tops exposed, their muscles proudly displayed in front of their lovers—they were still a hundred feet or so from the Colonna Palace, they silently overlapped each other, their black and white wings opening and closing one after another, and the music in the courtyard disappeared at some point, only the sound of wings cutting through the air.

It was a beautiful scene, but Louis only thought of the fact that the wizards of the Inner World, although they were said to have gradually escaped into the Inner World after the sixth century AD, inherited more from ancient Rome than one might think, and in ancient Roman mythology, the swan and the eagle were both symbols of Jupiter, the father of the gods, although he was transformed into these two charismatic birds either for the purpose of seduction or raiding.

After them came the bride, led by the bridesmaids, her veil hanging from her bun to her knees, wearing a crown of roses.

Louie took her outstretched hand.

——————

Even after an agreement with the Mancini family, Louis remained in the inner world for another two months, and by the time he left, Marie had already had a child—wizards were obviously more reliable than doctors in the world to determine whether a wife was pregnant.

The man who was waiting for Louis in Dunkelke turned out to be the Prince of Condé, when they first met, Louis was still a child, and the Prince of Condé did not take the young king to heart, who knew that time had passed, and now he had become Louis's prisoner, the two of them were silent for a long time, and no one else knew how to speak, only the Viscount of Tyrrenne bravely stepped forward, "Your Majesty," he said sincerely: " There may be a sinner here, but what he has done for you, for France, deserves your forgiveness, please forgive him, forgive him who has made a mistake, and if his merits are not enough, take mine. ”

This made the Prince of Condé nervous, he had hated Tyrrenne for betraying him and thrown himself at the king, but now he too had to be moved by this sincere friendship, and when he wanted to say something, the king raised a hand to stop him.

"I have heard," said Louis, "thank you, for the fact that in my sickness you have shown no less wisdom and courage on the battlefield, I have seen our contract with the British, and as I wish, you have taken half of Dunkerke, and this vital city is at last able to fly the French flag, for which we may be able to reduce many casualties and tragedies caused by it, for which I thank you." So saying, Louis took off his hat and bowed to the people, who hurriedly returned the salute.

"Now that the situation has been settled, and by the grace of God I am healed and am about to return to Paris, and of course I have in my heart and in my books about your deeds, and I ask you to return with me to Paris, that I may reward you. Louis smiled and looked at Prince Condé, "Except for you, Condé." ”

This sentence almost made Tirrena jump, and Condé grabbed him, he was not at all surprised by this ending, and to be honest, even if the king threw him directly into prison, he had nothing to complain about, he leaned down and saluted: "Obey the order, Your Majesty." ”

"I am not letting you stay here, Your Excellency," said the king, "I want you to be three or four days slower than me, and when I return to Paris, I will meet you before the Louvre with my courtiers, and I will pardon you for all your sins, not only for your merits in Dunkerke, but also for your ...... afterwards."

"After?"

"Yes, you have made a mistake, and I must punish you, but Your Royal Highness, I want to punish you, that is, to let you return to my army, fight for me, and put your talents where they should really shine, instead of dying miserably as a traitor, I hope so, what about you?"

"All I can say is that I am more than willing to accept such an arrangement. ”

"That's good. The king said, looking up at the sky, the brightness of the sky dazzled him for a moment, and everything in the world was like a beautiful nightmare, but he knew that it had not yet left, that it had not passed, and that "now he could only hope that it was a girl." He muttered.

"What?" Bontang on the side asked, this loyal servant is terribly thin, although there are vampire puppets lying in bed instead of the king, but some urgent things still need to be done by the king's most trusted and closest people, especially when the British negotiated with the Prince of Condé, the Prince of Condé entered the room more than once to ask the king's opinion, and it was Bontang who taught the puppet to answer, and Bontang only held the words that Louis hastily wrote on the book, he had to rely on his understanding of the king to answer fluently, and every conversation was torment for him。

"No, it's nothing," said Louis, "and when you get back to Paris, you'll have to rest for a while." ”

"I can still hold on, Your Majesty," said Bontang, "as long as you allow me to sleep well." ”

In fact, Bonton had fallen asleep in the carriage in a rare way, his eye sockets had sunken so deeply in the past few months that he looked like a living skeleton, and the king reached out and pulled his cloak for him, and began to rest, and by the time he arrived in Paris, he had countless things to deal with.

However, on the way, they heard that the Duke of Gaston of Orleans had finally died, and he had no male heir from an orthodox marriage, so his title and territory must belong to Philip, Duke of Anjou.

Louis sent his envoy to Paris first, and told the Queen Mother that he was going to the canonization of Philippe, Duke of Orleans, and that he was going to hand over Orleans to Philippe at once, whether out of public or selfish motives...... The king's motorcade entered the street in front of the Louvre in the early hours of the morning, but as soon as he turned the corner, he saw that the Louvre was brightly lit, the square was full of people with torches, and some nobles even ran after his carriage.

After a few months, the royal brother Philip seemed to have grown up rapidly, although he was still so ...... in terms of dress Exaggerated, and for some unknown reason, he also braided his pigtails, but even the bows on the pigtails did not prevent Louis from hugging the brother tightly, and their arms crossed forcefully over each other's backs, and joy overflowed from his fingers.

Then there was the Queen Mother, a woman who had always adhered to court etiquette, and even came forward to hug Louis, who bent down and kissed her face.

The king straightened up, and all he saw were faces full of joy, except for one who was missing.

"What about Mr. Bishop?" he asked.
