Chapter 725 Is Meliati a bastard?
The blood beads oozing out of the lead box dragged out intermittent dark marks on the stone bricks.
Stepping on the blood, Cosimo walked through the palace corridor, but found that all the silver candlesticks that were originally inlaid on the wall disappeared, leaving only the charred fixed holes.
There was a sound of hammers knocking in the distance, which was the craftsmen and soldiers prying out the last few gold foil portraits on the wall.
After standing in front of the auditorium hall for a long time, taking a deep breath, Cosimo knocked on the oak door.
"Come in."
The auditorium hall, which used to be filled with enamel and malachite sculptures, now only bare gypsum walls are left.
The porcelain and gold and silver decorations that used to be gone, I don’t know where they went.
Ginnigis III nestled on the faded brocade velvet seat, and an orange cat with a dull fur curled up on the long table.
As if frightened by the behemoth, the orange cat nestled on the table suddenly pressed down his ears, arched his back, and became angry at Cosimoha.
At the table, beside the attendant Viscount Valde, he was a rustic old woman, sitting on the edge of the chair with a bowed groan.
The old woman curled up in the shadow of the pillar, her fingers covered with age spots were rubbing the hem of the hem of the thick hem, and the worn-out shoes rubbed two light brown marks on the ground.
When she looked up and glanced at the lead box, the icteric whites of her eyes were shining with.
Such an old woman appears in the palace, which inevitably made Cosimodo take a few glances.
"Your Highness." Cosimo knelt on one knee and raised the lead box, "The gang of robbers who smuggled sugar and ready-to-wear was arrested."
The moment the lead box was opened, Viscount Lavel appeared in everyone's sight with a sneering head.
Ginnigis covered his mouth and nose with a silk veil, and the attendant immediately stepped forward to check his head.
Cosimo knew that the new king of vegetarians, Ginnigis, didn't like seeing blood and corpses very much.
At the same time, for this reason, the king's breathing method is only a ridiculous second level.
But Cosimo naturally didn't say these words, but just lowered his head and waited.
The attendant leaned over and said a few words in the king's ear, and Ginnigis immediately laughed. He used a comb to comb the fur that the orange cat had blown up: "It's done well, my bee needle."
After comforting the orange cat, Ginnigis took a gold ring from his hand and threw it to Cosimo: "The battle is very expensive, I will give this to you as a reward first, and I will give it to you after I defeat Nedbach. .”
Looking at the ring on the palm of his hand, Cosimo thought about it again and again, and finally hesitated and asked: "Your Highness, please forgive me for being rude. The soldiers are asking whether the salary can be paid at one time..."
Ginnigis was very frank: "White sugar in the windmill land defeated Lea's power in the windmill land, and the commercial tax and city redemption tax were greatly reduced, and he was nervous.
But it doesn't matter. After defeating the Duke of Nedbach, I will clear all the nobles involved, completely revoke royal preferential treatment and fiefs, and auction these titles and manors to raise funds.
By then, I will pay all the military salary and fiefs I owe at one time. ”
This time Cosimo was surprised. Did he really not expect that he had reached this level?
Will the titles that are noble status be sold at will, rather than inheriting them according to their bloodline or assigning them to those who have made meritorious services?
Legally speaking, Ginnigis, as the king and the patriarch of the Blue Bee family, does have such power, but this will arouse a widespread opposition.
Originally, Ginnigis' succession to the throne was questioned, and now it is even more shaking its legitimacy.
Cosimo looked at the golden ring in his palm, and for a moment, he felt mixed feelings.
When Cosimo retreated, Ginnigis turned his head and looked at the old woman beside him. Gubo continued unsuspectingly, "You continue." She showed her defective front teeth as she spoke, and the sound of air leakage seemed to pass through the worn bellows. : "Yes, Your Highness... That night the fog was so thick that I could wring out the water, so I took the chamber pot to the back alley.
The moonlight stretched the shadows long, and I heard something moving in Miss Lulus's room...
I went in and saw... Oh my God, the one who lay on that bed was not a twelve-year-old girl, but a monster over three meters tall..."
Before she could finish her words, Barde narrowed his glasses: "Do you have any evidence for these?"
The old woman hesitated for a long time before she spoke silly: "I have no evidence, but I have seen it with my own eyes that the little girl turned into a three-meter-high gorilla..."
"Or do you have any physical evidence?"
"..." Looking at the old woman's forehead, Guiniges randomly knocked on the table with her cane, "Okay, I understand. Come on, you go and rest first and take good care of your health."< br>
"Maybe it's the ravings of the country women." Barde approached Ginnigis, "This is not necessarily true."
"Is it important to be true or false? As long as it is useful."
Looking at Valde's blinking eyes, Ginnigis said lightly: "You think, Vicente was able to become the adopted son of the Duke because he married Lulus.
And Lulus gave birth to a daughter, who is considered to be the Duke of the acting daughter.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Since Lulus was not infected with the witch's disease, she was a witch, and the witch could not give birth to children, where did Moriyati come from?
I guess it should be Vicente or the illegitimate daughter of the Duke of Hermastone, and it is very likely that Vicente's illegitimate daughter.
Why? Duke Hemashi is a great knight and finally gave birth to a daughter in his later years.
Later, when you get older, you know that the Great Knight's Gao Pills will shrink into raisins because of the potion, and the probability of him giving birth to a daughter is very slim.
Then this Meliati is the illegitimate daughter of her adopted son Vicente.
I can't help but ask, will the nobles convince a woman who has no blood relationship with Iris sit in the position of Duke of Hemashi and even the Imperial Official of Thousand Rivers Valley?
Will those from the Flannel Iris Family be convinced? Will Norn's old antiques who regard blood ties as superior to everything else still support Meliati?
If Moriyati had no bloodline for his ex-Non's choice of king, could she still get strong support from the Noon people? ”
But the attendant Barde scratched his head: "There is already a waste of time. She is already an autocratic public. What's the use of exposing it?"
But Guiniges sneered: "Sometimes the name is easier to use than the sharp blade. This story is both true and reasonable and can be trusted by many people.
Moriyati didn't understand the role of status. She used force and spies to suppress everything. Once her undefeated statue had flaws, someone would doubt it.
There are too many doubts, even a little flaw will be infinitely magnified, just like she has become a flaw itself. ”
Barde thought something.
Guiniges whispered, "Has it been successful if you said you had the robbers sneak into the Thousand River Valley to cause damage?"
Barde shook his head ashamed: "Either being blocked by the bastion and the clockwork cannon, or being found out by the Night Watcher and the Cheka."
Ginnigis stroked the soft fur of the orange cat: "Don't worry, look at it, the straw sandals can easily step on the foot of the straw sandals."
