In Queen Isabella's bedroom, the atmosphere became more tense as the old man fell into a coma again.
Jenkins beside the hospital bed didn't care about the servants secretly looking at him because of the "will" just now. He continued to think about the situation in front of him, and quickly guessed the ins and outs of this matter, which was easy to think of.
So he looked at the Duke who was receiving a towel from the servant to wipe his face. The young Duke looked better now. Although he was no longer sweating, he still looked panicked:
"Viscount William, if His Majesty dies like this... under the current circumstances, it would be too bad."
Anyone who is a little bit politically sensitive knows how important the current Three Kings Talk is. And once the Queen dies, there will be turmoil in the country because there is no unified leader. Even if the successor Jenkins can restore order as soon as possible with the help of others, but in the Three Kings Talks, it will definitely be because there is no overall leadership of the country. Being at a disadvantage made Fidetic Terry at a disadvantage in this once-in-a-millennium negotiation.
"Yes, His Majesty can't just die like this, otherwise it would be too bad."
Jenkins nodded and followed what he said, thinking in his heart, if he didn't worry about the damage to the interests of the kingdom, and killed Queen Isabella now, then he would not need to bother with the "legal" inheritance Norris and Miss Windsor.
Of course, this is just an idea. Although Jenkins thinks that he is not a standard good person, he will not kill the old man lying in bed.
"We must find a way to cure His Majesty, otherwise it will be unimaginable~"
He sighed, which was approved by the Duke of Rochester.
The Duke paced the room nervously, constantly whispering about the terrible things that would happen if the Queen passed away. What he did was not good for the status quo at all. It had no effect except to make the nervous doctor more nervous.
Suddenly, the Duke of Rochester turned his head to look at Jenkins as if thinking of something, his eyes narrowed.
"coming soon."
Jenkins thought, and then saw the Duke walking quickly, whispering beside him:
"Let's talk in a quieter place."
So he told the servant and the doctor to take good care of Queen Isabella, and the two walked into the empty guest room. The Duke of Rochester looked very nervous. After closing the door, he took a deep breath and made up his mind, then asked:
"Viscount William, the situation is special now, and I have to ask you a question—are you the so-called gifter?"
"it is as expected."
Jenkins said in his heart that everything was just a trap designed by Queen Isabella to confirm whether Jenkins was the benefactor. It's a pity that they shouldn't lie in front of him, and the Duke of Rochester asked this question a little too anxiously. He should ask the doctor after the doctor confirms that the Queen's health is really dying... The Duke probably didn't want to take the risk of the Queen's real death.
Without giving Jenkins a chance to answer, the Duke of Rochester said quickly:
"You are the heir to the royal family, so you should know how tense the situation is now. Your Majesty must not be in trouble, and you must not even miss the second meeting tomorrow because of poisoning. If you are the bestower, please help Your Majesty, I Knowing that you have a high status in the Church of the Sages, does this mean... "
"I have indeed heard about those extraordinary people from the church."
Jenkins interrupted him loudly, very harshly:
"But I'm not."
"You must think of a way. Now that His Majesty has confirmed that you are the heir, why is there any need to hide it?"
The Duke said anxiously.
"But I'm really not."
Jenkins was appropriately anxious, but his face remained serious, as if he was being framed as a liar.
"Oh, Viscount William, Your Majesty is your relative, and if she is unfortunate..."
"But, I'm really not the bestower."
Jenkins emphasized again, seeing the face of the Duke of Rochester blushing in front of him, he suggested:
"Why don't we go to the church for help? Since you think those gifted persons with extraordinary power and strange abilities have a solution, why don't you send someone to the church now? I can go there in person."
"No, no."
The Duke of Rochester shook his head quickly, he knew about the "High Tower Agreement". But thinking of Jenkins's proposal, it seems that they don't know the "High Tower Agreement", and the clauses of this agreement aimed at the extraordinary power of the church, the bestowers should all know.
I have considered many situations, but I didn't expect that the queen would be personally in danger, and Jenkins could not let Jenkins show her feet. At the beginning of their plan, they regarded "Jenkins Williams" as an extremely kind and benevolent man according to the investigation. Otherwise, they would not be able to boldly declare Jenkins as the heir without their own protection—if Jenkins If he killed everyone here, he would be the king in legal terms.
It is true that Jenkins has no bad intentions now, but he still refuses to help his relatives, and he doesn't even have any intentions. This is something that neither of the two who arranged the plan expected.
"But, now if..."
"But I'm really not a superhuman."
Jenkins once again emphasized that his acting skills are even more superb than the Duke of Rochester's, and the surprise, anger and helplessness on his face are properly expressed.
"Since you refuse to bow your head to the church, the Duke will always have some givers under your command, right?"
Jenkins added that the Duke would not be given the opportunity to "ask for help" again:
"Although I am not a benefactor of the church, I have also heard some things from the local bishop of Parode. A noble like you should have a benefactor by his side, right? Why don't you find them and help His Majesty heal?"
"No, no, I don't have that kind of scary person around me."
The Duke of Rochester's face was even uglier, although his face was very red just now. Seeing that Jenkins did not let go, he began to pace the room with his hands behind his back in a small area, and his leather shoes stepped on the floor in an annoying rhythm:
"Viscount William, I know that His Majesty's death is also beneficial to you, but you have to take care of the overall situation. Now that the three kings are talking, we can't do without..."
"Oh, duke, what do you mean by insulting me!"
Jenkins said it aloud, and he believed that people outside could hear the voice:
"If you were ten years younger, I would definitely challenge you to a duel of glory!"
Probably the fate of those who had heard of the duel with Jenkins, the Duke of Rochester’s mouth trembled and he immediately explained:
"No, I'm sorry, I probably lost my head because of anxiety just now, and I didn't mean to offend you. But now His Majesty is still in a coma, we always have to come up with a solution, although other doctors will arrive here soon, But I don't think they'll be able to heal His Majesty right away, or at least get His Majesty to attend the meeting tomorrow morning."
"Yes, the current situation is very bad, but please don't think of me as a very dark person. I will not have any bad thoughts because of the will just now, I can guarantee this, but I really Not the giver."
The two of them talked in the room on the topic of "whether Jenkins is the benefactor". Time passed by. Jenkins predicted that when the other dukes and Mr. Mayor were about to arrive, the door was knocked, and the doctor brought Here comes the good news:
"The servants caught the poisoned villain and found an antidote to the poison! What a stroke of luck!"
When the Duke of Rochester heard the news, instead of looking at Jenkins' face, he strode out of the room to visit Queen Isabella, as if the conversation just now had never happened. Jenkins followed him, trying not to laugh:
"This is too bad. I thought I could 'find' the antidote at least tomorrow morning. Since you are willing to poison yourself, why don't you persist for a longer time?"
In fact, the antidote must be brought out now, because too many people cannot know about tonight's "farce". After the antidote was confirmed to be real and the white-haired old man who was sick took it, the dukes who were brought by the servants arranged by Jenkins also arrived one after another.
Because they didn't want to leak things out, they didn't know what happened before they came here. After entering the bedroom, I heard what happened from the queen who woke up again, and then I broke out in a cold sweat for tonight's adventure.
Of course, none of the young people present were young people who had just taken over the title. Everyone could see the strangeness of this matter, after all, there were too many flaws. But the dukes are also very sure that the confusing truth and bizarre events tonight must have something to do with the throne.
Some of them had seen the last change of throne when they were young, but none of them had personally participated in it, but they also knew that if they easily got involved in such a thing, it was likely to bring disaster to themselves and their family. Therefore, even though they understood that something was wrong, no one expressed their thoughts easily.
Just standing aside and watching the back of Jenkins Williams talking with Queen Isabella sitting by the bed, the silent dukes were all guessing in their hearts, who made the move tonight, and the person who benefited in the end, Who is it in this room
The woman who married Middleton and the descendants of Middleton held hands with concern at this moment. The eager family atmosphere was very different from what had just happened in this room. The hearts of those who saw this scene were a little chilled. What these two most important members of the royal family are showing at this moment is the most terrifying scene in the vortex of politics and power.
Everyone is suspicious, but it seems that the participants don't want to get to the bottom of it. From the standpoint of a bystander, this matter will never be guessed.
