Jessica approached Jenkins while talking, and helped Jenkins tidy up his collar under Chocolate's dissatisfied eyes:
"everything will get better."
This convinced Queen Isabella that this was definitely Jenkins' arrangement, otherwise there would be no reason for Jessica to say that.
"I'll be home early, but there's a press conference around five."
Jenkins reminded.
"Really? Five o'clock, okay, I remember."
It was supposed to be "Jessica" who had just told Jenkins the news, but now she acted like she just found out. Queen Isabella didn't know what Jenkins was up to, so she said nothing, but watched Jessica say goodbye to Jenkins, and then turned to herself:
"You must be careful."
"Watch out for what?"
"Of course a person who follows the rules makes up his mind not to follow the rules, and no one knows what he will do."
Without further explanation, she winked at Jenkins and walked in the opposite direction from the maids.
"Not with us?"
Jenkins asked.
"I'm going to meet the 'sir' on the horse."
She said with a smile, and then separated from the group.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
The old man asked Jenkins very dissatisfied.
"I'll know in a while, how about continuing our story? As I said just now, the first few years were very difficult to sustain."
Queen Isabella was unhappy with Jenkins' attitude, but was surprisingly more enthusiastic about telling her own story. Jenkins originally planned to spend some effort to persuade her to continue, but she did not object:
"Yes, very difficult. Jenkins, I know you have encountered a lot of troubles, but you must have never encountered a scene where almost everyone is an enemy."
That's true, Jenkins always makes the most people his supporters.
"This is the most important feeling in the first few years after I became queen. Until now, when I think of those days, I also feel afraid from the bottom of my heart. Fortunately, I did a good job. After that, I have some supporters. A good virtuous circle has been formed, and I think I probably also belong to some politically gifted people.”
Looking at the vast grass field in front of her, she took a deep breath, letting the air directly enter her lungs:
"It's really good."
I don't know whether it is the past or the scenery here.
"Jenkins, you stand here with me and look at this country, what do you see?"
"change."
He said it very simply, and then asked:
"What do you see?"
"Leap forward."
Neither explained their views, but continued with the rest of the story:
"As the time for me to become queen is getting longer and longer, more and more people have begun to accept me and recognize my ability. Although the daily work is still so heavy, the days are really changing day by day. Good. I seem to just bury my head in front of the desk and lift it up again, and I have reached the age of silver hair."
She smiled and stroked her hair:
"It really seems like a blink of an eye. Before I know it, my life is over. On the day of my wedding, at the moment when I exchanged rings, I definitely never thought that I would spend my life like this."
"So how do you feel about your life?"
"Very good, Jenkins, think about it carefully, I am not a descendant of the Middleton family, but I can become a queen. Do I have to complain about the injustice of fate?"
She took a deep breath:
"I have devoted my life to this country, so I hope that someone will continue my path, do you understand?"
"Of course I understand. If the hard work of a lifetime is easily erased by others, no one can bear it. I can understand, but I can't accept it."
"It's good that you can understand. If you can't understand, I will really feel sad."
They walked on, and Jenkins continued to listen to the story. Of course, he will not be easily moved by these words, but with a curious attitude, he wants to know the life of a legendary person like the other party.
"At your age, you definitely can't think of the old man's thoughts. When you reach my age, you will definitely miss our conversation walking in the horse farm together this afternoon. I miss the smell of grass, I miss listening to the sound of horseshoes together, and I miss the bleakness. Every scene under the sun... definitely will."
She repeated it, then pointed to the distant mountains:
"I still remember visiting Nolan when I was 40 years old, and I was in almost the same place as I am now, and saw that mountain. I never climbed that mountain, but I knew it was my territory , knowing that everything there legally belongs to me. It's a great feeling, fascinating. I was probably lost in this feeling for a while in my middle age, when the domestic opponents had almost all disappeared, The diplomacy with Cheslan and Hampawo is also in a short period of peace until... "
"The great plague thirty years ago."
Jenkins guessed what she was going to say.
"Yes, the Great Plague. No one expected it. I didn't know the more secret reason from the church until last week. Thank you, Jenkins, for helping us get rid of that sword. I also learned from thirty years ago Only then did I realize that everything will have an end. I don't believe in the god of death, but I really realized this.
That is, from then on, I wanted to cultivate a successor of myself who could carry on my path after I went to sleep. My luck is very good, I don't need to deliberately find or even create an illegitimate daughter. Not long after the end of the Great Plague, a new heir appeared in the Windsor family.
I was not there on the day she was born, but the first time I saw her, I knew that this was a girl who was very similar to me. "
There may be some problems with this statement, involving the ethical issues of the Windsor family, but Jenkins did not point out that he still wants to hear the next story.
"It is impossible for the Grand Duke to agree with me to train Jessica to be an heir. A man who is arbitrary will not let his children do such a thing. So I intentionally approached Jessica, and in the process of her growth Continuously deepen the impact.
My methods are very gentle, because I don't want her to hate me, and I don't want her to treat me as someone who does anything wrong. At least before you appeared, I was very successful. "
"You have indeed succeeded in training Jessica, I admit that. She is a very good lady, knowledgeable, strong, intellectual, elegant, and independent. Although I have opinions on you, I agree with you. Educational policies and means.”
In particular, Jessica is a principled person, and she is still very principled after going through so many things, which is commendable.
