Chapter 33: Not idle talk

The old man Clement always spoke unhurriedly and in a steady tone, but when he talked about the king this time, there was still a trace of imperceptible fluctuation in his tone, this matter was a long time ago even for an old man like Clément, but it could be seen that he still did not let go until today.

As a special envoy sent by the Holy See to greet the group, the old man Clemon did not talk to everyone about the church, but talked slowly and logically with the group about these old things about the gods and rotten grains, although it was a little strange, but Sinampei understood that this was what Teresa might need now.

She needs a reason to forgive her father, and Sinampei herself, why doesn't she need it? Old man Clemand still wants them to be relieved and let go of these senseless disputes. If you have a lot of trouble with the king for the rest of your life, then it will not benefit anyone.

"Father Clément, we, don't ...... So resentful of him. Theresa only said that for a long time. Although she has been looking very cheerful on the outside recently, Sinampei still feels that she is a little sad in her heart.

"I know, but it doesn't hurt to hear about it. Clément smiled.

Many people know about this matter, and there is nothing to deliberately avoid, but there are still many hidden pasts.

The old man led the four men into the carriage, and only after the sound of the horses' hooves did he continue to tell the crowd.

"Your father's great-grandfather was also just a nobleman who was related to the king at the time, and he did not take precedence over the Boulogne or Corrion in terms of the order of succession. At that time, the Corrion family and the Boulogne family were stronger than the Valloya family, you should know that, right?"

Of course, not to mention Theresa, even Sinampei, an outsider, is very aware of this history.

So Theresa nodded.

"Very few people expected that the House of Valoa would end up on Capet's throne. It's ridiculous to say that it was precisely because of the weakness of the Valoa family at that time that the nobles finally chose him, and only a weak king could ensure that the interests of the nobles were not violated to the greatest extent, wasn't it?" "At that time, my father was also one of the supporters of the Varloya family. Hehe, you don't mind, my father later told me that he just felt that the Varloa family couldn't suppress the situation, so he supported them. ”

"But that's where today's chaos comes from. The Corrion family, who thought they were in control, could not bear to be usurped by others what should have belonged to them, so they chose to use force, while the Boulognes were slightly weaker. They chose to watch from the sidelines. ”

As for the Valoa family, they can only count on the nobles to stop the attack from Caledonia for him. ”

"For a long time after that, it was the nobles who controlled the situation in Capet, and the king had to slowly build up his power until one day they felt that they could start to really control the country, and your grandfather began to cut the feudal domain. ”

"Of course, as you know, he died, but not in battle with the Caledonians. Instead, he was betrayed by his closest subordinates, and your father, who was only twelve years old at the time. I saw this scene with my own eyes - as a role model for the boy scouts. ”

In the previous words, Si Nanpei and his party were not surprised, but the last sentence was a bit of an earth-shattering feeling.

Schillelia stammered, "Father Clément, is this ...... How do you know that?"

"My son, who has been called by the Lord, was one of your father's guards. Old man Clément shrugged, "He later sued me about it." I'm sure of it. There are definitely no more than ten people who know about this now. ”

"At that time, there was a conspiracy to let the people of the Boulogne family ascend to the throne and replace the Valoa family, who did not cooperate with the nobles, and when your father ascended the throne, it was quite dangerous. He had been assassinated several times, the one that threw stones into the palace was only the most daring, and at the most dangerous time, he even had to hide in the University of Pali to accept the protection of the magicians. ”

Hearing this, Sinampei understood why the king attached so much importance to the construction of Pali University during his reign, and it turned out that he was favored by others back then.

"Such a secret thing, just tell us like this, okay?" Sinampei turned his head to look around, and realized that he, Shilmelia, and Kara shouldn't have known about it...... The old man of Clément sued Sù Theresa alone.

"It's okay, it's all old things, and it's okay to sue you. The old man Clement smiled, "Speaking of which, Henry suffered a lot back then, and in order to escape the assassination of those nobles, he not only had to flee non-stop, but at the same time pretend to be docile to agree to the nobles' requests, whether they were not harsh or harsh.

"As an adult, in the war against the Caledonians, he had to rush to the front in every battle, leading the way, in order to gain praise and support from all classes, but he also fought with his life. Until your mother chose him. Old man Clément shook his head.

"My mother? she never told me about the past. Theresa bit her lip.

"She gave Henry the strength to fight against the nobles again, but learned the lesson of your grandfather, he did not choose to confront the nobles head-on, but quietly expanded the authority of the king step by step, uprooting the territory of the great nobles, until today, he drove you away and completely held the entire kingdom in the palm of his hand. Old man Clément sighed, "Why is he so troubled?" ”

Si Nanpei can understand a little bit, this kind of paranoid person is generally hurt too deeply when he was a child, and this kind of psychological scar will be deeply engraved in his soul and may not be erased for a lifetime.

"My mother......" Theresa held her head, "doesn't she know how to prophesy......?

Sinampei covered her little mouth.

It's better not to advertise this kind of thing like the Sybil Prophecy, although Sinan Pei feels that the old man Clement may also know something.

However, the old man Clemon watched Sinampei's movements, smiled, but did not speak.

Sinampe let go of Theresa.

Theresa burst into tears again: "Did she see this day earlier? Why didn't she tell me earlier? Did she just watch her daughter banished from her country?"

Old man Clément inflicted a second wound on Theresa in an unnoticed place...... But there's not much that can be done. People become more sensitive when they are sad. (To be continued......)
