"Didn't I leave you time to talk?"
While the carriage was slowly driving, Jenkins recalled the end of the banquet last night. He only remembered that it was very late at the end of the banquet. After he sent his father and brothers to the carriage, he sent Miss Windsor to her mansion, and then Hathaway and Britney return to the Rosalia Hotel.
"I originally wanted to tell you something, but I didn't expect you to leave so quickly..."
She looked at Jenkins with a complicated expression:
"Should I congratulate you, about bloodlines."
"There's nothing to congratulate, besides... You should have known it long ago, right?"
Miss Windsor did not deny it, and raised her glass to take a big sip:
"You are a good person."
That statement made Jenkins a little uncomfortable, so he hugged the soft cat, who meowed to show he was satisfied.
"There are some things that I don't want to hide from you, and people like you shouldn't be deceived and used. From the first time I saw you, I knew you were a kind person and you shouldn't be forced into such a situation." conspiracy"
She considered her own words, thinking about the consequences of what she did, and she didn't regret doing so.
"Although Her Majesty has acknowledged the relationship between your family and the royal family,... in fact, she is just using you. She never thought of giving the throne to any Williamette."
It's not a lie, and this is very similar to Jenkins' observation and guess. He has long seen that Queen Isabella's attitude is not right. So he nodded, expressing his understanding of what Miss Windsor meant. Seeing Jenkins' calm face, Miss Windsor asked again:
"You believed me so easily?"
"You're telling the truth, why don't I believe you?"
This is also true of Jenkins.
Miss Windsor bit her lip. She thought it would take a lot of effort to gain Jenkins' trust. After all, all the signs showed that the Queen had trust in their family. But the current situation indirectly shows that Jenkins is indeed the kind of person who is easy to trust others, and he should not be deceived and used.
"Although I can almost say that I grew up with Your Majesty, sometimes even I am afraid of her. The elders have the wisdom of the elders, and this wisdom is sometimes mixed with paranoia and conspiracy. Things these young people can't think of. Your Majesty... I shouldn't speak ill of her, she has always been very good to me, but Jenkins, you must be careful, she really intends to use you."
"This is really interesting, so who is His Majesty's real favorite candidate for the throne?"
Jenkins asked, lowering the cat into his lap, and leaning back slightly, bringing the body from the chest up into the shadow of the car's lights. This action gave him a strange aura in vain. Miss Windsor felt a sudden tightness in her chest, as if the man in front of her had become extremely huge and distorted. trust.
"Strictly speaking, Her Majesty the Queen is not a member of the Middleton family, although the public and general opinion will subconsciously ignore this. She just married into the royal family, so after the death of the previous generation of kings, she was able to inherit the throne for various reasons, You should know this. The Windsor family is close relatives of His Majesty's father's family, and we have a deep relationship, so I was able to grow up by His Majesty's side. Jenkins, you should know that there are several people in the family His Majesty was born in than you older men who have been in politics…”
She didn't have to go on, Jenkins knew what she meant. Intermarriage among nobles is very common. Queen Isabella's mother family is also a great noble. She also had intermarriage with the Middleton family before her, so she also has certain inheritance qualifications.
After being reminded by Miss Windsor, Jenkins remembered that when he was chatting with St. Ponteve IV, he talked about the current heirs of the kingdom and mentioned this matter. It's just that he didn't pay attention to that kind of conversation, so he couldn't remember the names of those people.
After all, in the eyes of Jenkins, they are no different from small animals on the street. They are all heard of or seen, but there is no need to understand them.
"It's really interesting."
He said in a low voice, Miss Windsor's words solved his long-standing doubts. He knew that the crown will not fall from the sky for nothing, everything has a reason.
"Your Majesty may not let your family disappear to pave the way for others, but it is conceivable that pushing your family to the front must be to cover up those behind."
Miss Windsor's voice was a little low, and she was also one of the people who was pushed to the front of the stage. Before the Williams family, she was the most ideal heir to the throne, and even if Jenkins appeared, she was still deliberately matched to Jenkins.
"Your religious background predestined that as long as she wants to abandon you, she can easily provoke the people and nobles to think of the "High Tower Agreement". People are always very sensitive to the church's interference with the secular regime. And I... I am a woman after all, There have never been two queens in a row in the Kingdom of Fidgetli, although everyone is talking about equality between men and women, but this kind of thing cannot be completely resolved in one era."
Her fingers holding the glass were a little white due to excessive force. She lowered her head and said this, and looked up to see that Jenkins' face hidden in the shadow had returned to the light again:
"It's really interesting."
He said again:
"I knew that the change of the throne would not be so easy. I have been wondering about it for a long time, and now I finally understand it. This... is really interesting."
"Just fun? Don't you see the danger?"
Miss Windsor felt unexplained anger rushing to her heart. This may be because she hesitated for a long time before making up her mind to tell Jenkins these words, but the other party did not appreciate her painstaking efforts.
"It's dangerous, but it's also an opportunity."
He sat up completely upright, exposing his entire body to the light:
"You know, originally I didn't care who the throne belonged to. Although my... friends told me that I had to get it, I was still hesitating. Now knowing that someone wants to use me and my family, I I think it's time to make up your mind."
The cat raised its head and gave a "meow~" with its pink nose facing upwards, as if celebrating, while Jenkins' eyes seemed to be shining. He has indeed been hesitating, but in fact he has already had a bias. The last step was just a childish mentality of "I can refuse it, but you can't refuse it", but in short, he has made up his mind, and the reason is not important:
"Let's see."
"what are you up to?"
Miss Windsor asked with some doubts, but Jenkins just shook his head. Now he finally understands why his father and the church have not been very active in the matter of whether he will inherit the throne. They have expected the current situation long ago, and only waited for him to find out the status quo or learn from them. Everything is natural.
"I am indeed an immature young man, involved in royal disputes, it is impossible to get out without doing anything."
He laughed at himself like this.
