"You approve of my educational approach? Oh, Jenkins, that's probably the highest opinion I can get from you.
I complained that I didn't teach Jessica about men and that's why she was cheated by you. But actually, I talked to her about it, and there's one thing you don't say, I told you. Jessica was actually more interested in girls, at least until she was eighteen. "
"...I won't say it."
It turns out that the style of Miss Windsor in the possible world is not caused by the differences in the world at all.
"This is actually very normal. Most noble ladies of that age have this tendency to a certain extent. I think this may have something to do with our education policy and social environment.
In short, although Jessica's surname is Windsor and she lives with her family, she actually spends more time with me than at school. After making up my mind to train Jessica to be my successor, everything went smoothly.
It also seems like a blink of an eye to watch a baby grow into a beautiful noble maiden. At the last moment, the eight-year-old girl was still begging me for a teddy bear as a gift for the end of the year. In the blink of an eye, she was already taller than me. "
"So, you regard Jessica as your own daughter."
Jenkins asked, they were still walking and talking.
"No, a daughter is not considered a daughter, but a niece."
Queen Isabella shook her head:
"I thought she would get married, and I helped her find some young people, but those people were not good enough for her. I want to find a young man of the same age who is of noble birth, good conduct, self-motivated, and can tell right from wrong, and kind-hearted. Gentleman, it is too difficult.
Sometimes I also wonder, according to my training for her, will Jessica live a lonely life like me. Of course I don't want her to have a life like mine. It is enough for fate to throw this kind of life to me. There is no reason for her to do the same. She could take my path, maybe even the throne, but I never expected her to live my life, it was enough...then she met you. "
The encounter between Jenkins and Miss Windsor was last autumn, not a fateful encounter, just a chance encounter in a public place. Only a year has passed, and Jenkins still clearly remembers that banquet. During the banquet, he met Dimen Beryl, a descendant of the demon summoner family, and after seeing Jessica from a distance, he learned her identity from Britney, the banquet companion at the time.
"So, do you think Jessica met me, is it a good thing or a bad thing?"
Jenkins inquired that he heard the yawn of the cat on his shoulder, a cat that had a nap habit and would soon be taking a light nap on Jenkins' shoulder with amazing balance.
"For her personally, to be fair, of course it's a good thing. Although I have some dissatisfaction with you, you are indeed the best marriage partner I can find for Jessica... If she can be at Mihail and Hessa's house Your girl knew you before, so that's even better."
"Since you say that, it means that you think it's not a good thing for you that Jessica knew me?"
"No, it's even better for me. I know how much resistance and pressure a descendant of Middleton will encounter in running the country. If she marries you, she will have legitimacy after becoming queen. And I I promised the late king that the throne will definitely be returned to Middleton, and this can be regarded as helping me fulfill my promise."
The two continued to walk forward, and saw a three-story building standing not far away. It was a villa for the guests who came to the racecourse to rest, and a group of people were walking there.
"All in all, although I have encountered countless setbacks in my life, I have solved almost all the difficulties. In my later years, my only hope is that the road I planned for this country can continue to be extended. For nearly twenty years, he cultivated heirs for himself.
That's why I don't like you, Jenkins, you're a changemaker, you're going to make a difference, you're definitely not going to continue my path. Even knowing that the changes you are bringing about are the right ones, I would not allow this to happen. "
"Yes."
He nodded.
"When I was young, I succeeded to the throne under pressure from home and abroad. When I was middle-aged, I gained everything but knew that everything will end. In my later years, I wanted to cultivate a successor, but I met you again. God gave me a very wonderful life. , and very generously, made you my opponent at the end of my life.
Jenkins, you can think that I am a stubborn old fool, but you have to know that my story, my persistence, and my beliefs are no less than that of you, a young man who only lived 20 years old. "
Given that neither Jenkin nor the original owner combined were her age, Jenkins did not dispute this.
"So… "
Yu Guang glanced behind him:
"What if I use the means of an extraordinary person to forcibly obtain the throne? Although you are the queen now, in fact, my cards are far greater than yours. This is an unavoidable fact."
"Yes, you do have the means to do it, and I know you won't refuse to do so when the time is right. But so what? I didn't lose you in a fair fight, you won the crown, But even being king is just stealing the crown. It may be ridiculous, but if you do, I can get off center stage and laugh at you in the shadowy corners at everything you've done so far. Jenkins, if you want If you want, then take it from me."
The maids and royal guards behind them seemed to be suddenly deaf, and did not respond to this conversation. The old Duke Douglas Gerald sighed, his already old face became even more tired.
"Since you say so..."
Jenkins looked up at the villa not far away.
A lady was standing there quietly watching a group of people approaching. It was Jessica Windsor in evening gown, or Miss Windsor.
It would be an odd outfit to wear at a racecourse, but she stood there looking down on everyone like a queen. This is an inexplicable temperament. Miss Windsor was not only a queen, but because she indirectly controlled the difference engine, it was equivalent to manipulating half of the world.
Her temperament is similar to Miss J and Jessica but completely different, but somewhat similar to Queen Isabella. But the sense of oppression is purer, which may be because she is younger than Queen Isabella.
"What on earth are you trying to do? Make Jessica change clothes repeatedly, isn't it fun?"
asked the old man.
"You'll find out soon."
Everyone walked into the villa, and the servants in the villa were already ready to welcome the group. Jenkins, Miss Windsor, Duke Gerald and Queen Isabella sat down in the living room together. After the servants prepared the tea and snacks, they also Each retreated, leaving only four people talking.
Queen Isabella looked at Miss Windsor's outfit, her eyes flickering and she didn't know what to think of:
"Why are you wearing this dress here?"
she asked in a somewhat gentle tone.
"Just want to dress up, Jenkins, will there be a banquet tonight? Celebrate today's events."
"Eat at home tonight."
He told "Jessica Windsor" about it for the second time, and the latter nodded happily:
"Better than I thought."
After speaking, he looked at Queen Isabella again:
"You finally figured it out? That's really good. I thought you were an incompetent king, but now you know you were wrong, which means you are better than I thought."
"..."
Queen Isabella felt obviously uncomfortable, not only the disrespect in the other party's tone, but also her and Jessica Windsor's attitude towards the heir's announcement. A big difference.
"Where did I go wrong?"
she asked.
"Isn't this obvious? Since you are the king, it is your important responsibility as a king to choose a suitable successor to make the country develop better, even more important than excellent policies. Obviously, let Jenkins be the king King, it's the ideal combination of his wisdom and my help. I know you've always thought that Jenkins has no political experience, but isn't today's speech very telling? For a smart guy like him, Experience and time are equivalent, he will be able to master everything sooner or later, and... don't tell me, when you succeeded to the throne, did you have a lot of political experience?"
When Queen Isabella succeeded to the throne, although she had been a long-term assistant to the previous king, she was not considered to have rich political experience.
"I originally thought that you were determined not to choose him because of your stubborn thoughts, even in the face of the danger of throwing the kingdom into turmoil. By doing so, you violated your responsibilities as a queen and violated your commitment to this country when you succeeded to the throne. Sacred oath."
"I feel that you are not praising me, but accusing me."
"Yes, I am blaming you."
Miss Windsor is different from Jessica. Like Miss J, she was murdered by her possible Queen Isabella. Even though he knew that the person in front of him had nothing to do with this matter, being able to sit here with a peaceful mind was already very restrained.
"You didn't have too many stains in your life as a queen, but you made such a serious mistake in your old age. I don't discriminate against the elderly, but are you really old and confused?"
This is quite a serious accusation, Duke Gerald coughed awkwardly, reminding Miss Windsor to restrain herself. Queen Isabella's complexion remained unchanged:
"You think what I'm doing now is a stain on my queenship?"
