20. The Bishop and the Juvenile (5)
ps: The next update at 10 o'clock in the evening, everyone smash the ticket to support it!
The second part of the plan, that is, the intervention of Richelieu in Charlemagne's anti-epidemic relief work, provides a phase of various synergies. This includes sheltering, treating, and providing relief to the victims, which will be a great test of V.E's financial resources.
After all, no matter how cheap the price is, and how much discount the old grain provided by those partners, it always needs to be exchanged for precious metals, even if the supply is limited, it is not an easy thing to deal with nearly 200,000 mouths.
"Maybeβ"
With a little uncertainty and smugness, Elizabeth sneered:
"In addition to us and Castile, it is possible that the cunning merchant has found other partners to provide him with food. β
"Do you mean the United Rus' Principality?"
Walsingham, who had already thought of this possibility, accentuated his tone, although he was not a pure Mafa orthodox believer, he still instinctively resented such a thing as cooperating with pagans that touched the bottom line.
"It's a possibility, but that's just speculation. We can work with that businessman, but beware of being led by the nose. β
He grabbed a slice of scone from a silver platter and put it in his mouth, but he didn't bite into it. Dangling her legs without royal bearing or ladylike upbringing, Elizabeth suddenly asked Walsingham, who was frowning and pouring black tea in a delicate tone like a young girl:
"Walsingham, how's that president? a good man?"
The Secretary General of the State is enjoying black tea with a solemn face. The sudden questioning made him roll his eyes, thumping his chest like an adult orangutan, and the deadly yogurt was swallowed, and Albion avoided the tragedy of losing an important minister without a fight.
"Wang ...... The Palace...... Your Highness!!"
Walsingham protested incoherently and violently. Even ready to die to stop that terrible thought.
"Siegfried Otto Learin was vulgar and vulgar in appearance, and was not suitable for the blood of the noble royal family. β
"Yes, you don't have to be excited, I'm just asking casually, there's no need to be too serious. β
Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth, a senior member of the Appearance Society, smiled at the secretary general.
"For the sake of this country, I will not get married. β
"Your Highness......"
"If you look at Sister Mary, you will understand that as long as the royal family of this country is still marrying with the mainland country, it has always obeyed Emir's unreasonable demands. Albion will never be truly independent, let alone become a world leader. β
Elizabeth, who was just a girl, spat out a toxin that bordered on a curse of resentment. The second princess was indignant at the forced marriage to her sister, but not because of Queen Mary's lifelong partner, Prince Philip of Castile, who was born tall and handsome, and was a beautiful man whom even the discerning Elizabeth had once admired, and who was also more modest. From all aspects of consideration, this is a more satisfying pair among countless political marriages.
Elizabeth's resentment is not about the marriage itself, growing up in a privileged environment means that she has corresponding responsibilities. In order to raise their parents. and the country where they grew up to make a return, and the nobles and the daughters of the royal family are mentally prepared accordingly.
The daughter of the Wang family married a foreign country. Being a symbol of the covenant is also one of the important obligations.
Her Royal Highness the Second Princess of Albion was dissatisfied with the various obligations imposed on Albion behind the political marriage, which unreasonably transformed the island nation's own national strength into a security dividend for Castile. And Albion can't get more out of it than to contain Charlemagne.
For Albion, who has always hoped to be able to stand outside the continental countries and extract benefits from the disputes of other countries, and even for Albion, who has always hoped to be able to stand outside the continental countries and reign over the continent, this long-term stalemate can be described as disgusting, but due to the interference of the national power and Ymir, various attempts to intervene in the affairs of the mainland have so far been unsuccessful.
"What an abomination!
The hands of the second princess trembled, and the knuckles of her clenched knuckles turned white.
"After I became an adult. Will you follow this rule to marry a big nobleman at home, or a foreign royal family, right? And then I can only watch the stupid drama continue to play out from the sidelines, biting my fingers and doing nothing, damn it!!"
Damn male logic!
Elizabeth roared in her heart, knowing that life is conceived and born in a woman's body, and a man is only responsible for providing opportunities. But the world is at the mercy of stupid men, who are at the mercy of their grandiose righteousness or absurd beliefs.
And the woman - the woman who became the possession of the man. Even if you are a goddess, you will not be revered. Only by relying on women to rise up and harness the powerful power to guide the world will men's wanton behavior stop and their fallacies be corrected.
Escape from gloomy resentment. Elizabeth smiled and said:
"The businessman may be very capable, yes, but there is no passion in his plan, it is too realistic, it is really not cute. It's good to be a lover and a pet with such a person, but it's too boring to be a husband. Andβ"
Without categorical certainty, nor with the previous indignation, the Queen Elizabeth declared in a very natural tone.
"I want to be the queen of this country, a virgin queen who will never marry, who is not at the mercy of men, and a supreme empress. Lead the people of Albion to the continent. β
"Imir won't remain silent about it. β
Walsingham forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and calmly analyzed for Elizabeth:
"The Church will use the teachings of the Holy Scriptures to oppose the succession of unmarried royal daughters, and they will even incite the people to come against you. β
"Yes, the interference of the church......"
After a few more dismayed sighs and a few more conversations with Walsingham, Elizabeth began to show fatigue, and Walsingham left the dormitory on official pretexts. In the empty room, Wang Nu frowned and drank a cup of cold black tea, her rosy lips squeezing out the shape of a smile.
"Perhaps...... Albion needs its own church to guide its people. β
Elizabeth, who aspires to be the empress, quiets down and quietly keeps a smile like a doll.
Yes, the new Church, the state religion of Albion, a new church organization headed by the royal family who ascended to the throne, freed from the interference of Emile, like an instrument of revenge in a world dominated by male logic.
With a sneer, Elizabeth opened Walsingham's report again, and the delicate words leaped onto the page.
"If you want to conquer the world, you must first conquer the nations of men. If you want to conquer the nations of mankind, you must first conquer Charlemagne......"
