"Then let me be your sword."
— Abigail's answer is left in the history books.
When historians of later generations chased the life footprints of the first queen of the Roland Empire from Rose Harbor, they took the White Stone Palace in Rose Harbor as a landmark building.
"It's here, this is the place of the oath."
In 2017 AD, led by a professor of history, a group of young researchers carefully stepped into the White Stone Palace in Port d'Ornan, Strait de la Rose.
In 1557, it served as a temporary residence for Adele the Great's tour. In this exquisite building with white rock as the main tone and covered with blue eaves, there is an audience room that was later renamed "Oath Hall". In "The Hall of the Oath", Queen Roland meets the future Marshal of the Empire for the first time.
"It is said that when they met that time, they formed an unbreakable covenant for a lifetime."
A young female researcher looks at this room, which was well preserved by the later heirs, but the room has obviously been decorated later. Because the window sills and columns have a typical golden rose pattern-that is the personal symbol of Adele's late reign. In the later period of her reign, Roland has entered the "golden age" in history.
"This is the chair that Adele the Great was sitting on," said a researcher, pushing her glasses and carefully examining the table and chairs next to the fireplace. "Look—they hung her shoulder straps behind her back."
"Red symbolizes the mainland, and the two thin silver-gray bars on it symbolize the Iron Cross," said the old professor. Served in the first army of the emperor. After Abigail defeated the fleet of the Kingdom of Yager for the emperor, Adele the Great ordered the addition of the two vertical cross fine lines on the shoulder strap of the empire—for this reason, the Rosicrucian The Navy took back Nightingale Island as a birthday present to the Great Emperor."
"That is the first badge that Emperor Adele personally put on for Marshal Abigail."
The female researcher looked at another chair next to the queen's seat, and a sea-blue badge was displayed on the side of the chair.
Hundreds of years later, it is hard for people to imagine how sad the situation of women in that era was.
They have no liberty, they are the property of men from birth to death, they have no inheritance rights, they cannot participate in politics, and almost all noble realms are closed to women. And when "The Hammer of the Witch" was promulgated, this situation became even more sad.
Women of humble birth are easily sold by their fathers and brothers like pigs and sheep. Even in times of famine, they are often the primary targets of "cannibalism". Ladies of noble birth, of course, are less worried about starving to death than girls in ordinary families. But neither can guarantee their own security in marriage—because violence against their wives is taken for granted. On the other hand, women who marry with the burden of family marriage, they also have to face a series of vicious methods that their husbands may adopt in order to obtain property - being slandered as lunatics, imprisoned in a monastery, tortured to death...
After this kind of oppression that lasted for more than 1,500 years, the two stars broke through the darkness first, and hung high in the sky with a dazzling posture.
One is the first female monarch in the history of Roland, Adele Roland. Later generations honored her as "Emperor Adele". She single-handedly forged a modern civilization empire in the true sense. Abigail Brest, the first female officer of the Roland Empire and even the entire world.
All historians who study gender ideology cannot avoid these two people. The former broke the "women cannot govern", while the latter has the dual identities of "women" and "civilians", set foot in the military field, and blatantly declared war to the world Not just a man's game.
"Many people only regard her appointment of Abigail as a manifestation of women's independent consciousness, but the fact is not only that. The appointment of Abigail, more importantly, reflects Adele's ruling philosophy—" a researcher wrote in the Squatting in front of the badge, he looked carefully, "If you examine Adele the Great's life a little more carefully, you will find that she pays more attention to 'talent' than gender, rank and belief."
"She chose lawyers as members of her imperial council and valued their professional legal knowledge; she didn't mind Archbishop Rodriguez's old theological beliefs before, and she didn't care about Dalton's civilian background, and she could even suppress her relationship with Hein Richie's personal enmity..." The female researcher took the words, and then shrugged, "Who made people only see gender? Of course, we can't deny that the friendship between Emperor Adele and Abigail is one of the causes of this prejudice." reason."
The relationship between Marshal Abigail and Emperor Adele has been talked about for hundreds of years.
These two remarkable women are so connected.
"...she is me, the invincible blade of the empire." The queen who has not yet been called the "emperor" once said this to her maid, Mrs. Kelly. And what about Abigail? Abigail gave the Queen a warship to ride the wind and waves, a net that covered the world's oceans.
Their enemies tried many ways to defeat the invincible alliance, but they all failed. They could not shake the queen's trust in Abigail. After Abigail led the imperial navy to defeat the Kingdom of Yager, there were rumors that Abigail had formed an alliance with Crown Prince Yager and wanted to lead the navy to turn around and attack Roland. The queen still insisted on going to the port to meet Abigail in person. And all those who tried to make Abigail betray the queen were all hanged on the tower by her in the end... Until later, it was rumored that Abigail actually signed an "unbreakable covenant" with the queen through the devil or the queen. ".
Otherwise, why would there be such incomprehensible trust and loyalty in that age of betrayal
"She makes her, she defends her. They even ride hand in hand!"
The female researcher sighed with undisguised curiosity.
"So, aren't they really a couple?"
The other researchers in the room cast unspeakable glances at her together... Everyone knows that this guy is actually a double rose in private—the imperial rose and the sea rose—this pair of CP fans, and she devoted herself to archaeology only because she believed that one day she would definitely be able to Find evidence of the Queen's secret marriage to the Marshal...
But then again, they are also curious, what is the relationship between the queen and the marshal
……………
Queen Adele in the 16th century and the newly appointed special member of the Roland Naval Committee did not know that hundreds of years ago, people could produce 80,000 words of passion for one or two names between them, and whether they were right or not? A pair of high-rise buildings with tens of thousands of floors arguing on the forum...
This pair of freshly baked allies is now on the streets of the port city of Ornans in the Strait of Roses.
"The merchants welcome you very much."
Abigail was lucky enough to be invited by the Queen to ride with her in an open carriage.
Her elbows were resting on the curved edge of the carriage, and her hands had too many calluses compared to the noble ladies—it is not easy to establish majesty among the pirates. There are skills such as being proficient in sailing, raising the sails and steering the helm, and the last and most important thing is to be able to hold knives and guns steadily.
Royal visits to towns and cities always boost trade and industry[1], and this was the first royal visit to the Port of Ornans since the chaos of later Edmund III.
The news of the Queen's visit set the city alive early.
Efforts were made to clear the rubbish from the streets, and the silver-plated cups were sold out—they were traditionally presented to the Queen as a token of loyalty to the city. When the queen arrived here, the windows of every household were hung with embroidered curtains and colorful dyed cloth. The merchants staying near Rose Strait came early with their goods—they hoped to sell one or two items to the queen when the queen visited the market, and then used the royal family as a publicity to sell the royal family's daily necessities. The upper class, who are fashion icons, sell their wares.
"They wish they could be royal merchants."
The Queen got out of her carriage on Shapur Street and stepped on the pavement paved with gravel.
Ornan Port, as the most important port city in Rose Strait, has many very good shops, and Shapur Street is one of the most prosperous streets. In the first half of the street, food from both sides of the Sea of Heaven and the Red Sea, such as fine wine, cheese, vegetables and fruits, gathers at various stalls... and on the left side of the formal street area is a gathering of goldsmiths, jewelers, watchmakers, etc. On the right side is a gathering place for all kinds of cloth and leather, and also sells some exquisite fabrics and clothing.
The queen and Abigail were certainly not for the reason that later generations speculated.
On the one hand, because there are currently no other princesses in the royal family, there is no one among the accompanying ladies who is so special that the queen must treat them specially. On the other hand, it is because Abigail has stepped into the upper class of the empire after becoming a special member of the Navy Council. When she officially appeared in front of everyone, she needed a strong introduction—what could be better than the queen personally bringing How powerful is she
In addition, the Queen's free time is too little, too little.
Simultaneously juggling the Free Merchant Cities, the impending engagement of the Root Empire, the turmoil caused by the death of the Pope, and the formation of the Navy... God knows how badly the Queen wants to split one second into two right now. The Queen even had to seize the opportunity to discuss with Abigail on the way to the bazaar about what to do with the goods they seized from the Free Commercial City.
When the merchants in the market had waited for a long time to see the Queen's carriage in front of their respective stalls and shops, they all showed excited expressions.
"Let's go, come and have a look."
The Queen turned to Kelly and Abigail.
And on the second floor of a shop in the market, in the shadow of a window facing the street, a young man with brilliant blond hair in a dark blue coat was waiting for the queen just like those merchants. When the queen stepped down from the carriage, he straightened up suddenly. In the dim light, there was a pale and handsome face, and the blue eyes were as dangerous as the sky before the storm.
"Ah, it's your turn."
he said, in a very soft voice.
The author has something to say: Say something~
Adele and Abigail are pure friendship between monarch and minister, alliance friendship, after all, this is still a romance~ The discussion of people in later generations is like our current cp in history and some rumors of political attacks at that time.
It is a very common historical phenomenon for a woman in power who has not married for a long time, and her political enemies will attack her as gay. For example, Queen Christina of Sweden and Queen Elizabeth I, especially Elizabeth I, until now historians have been seriously researching whether she is a woman or a homosexual...cough
Then there is the cp of this article. I thought that after all, "Sura Field" was written, so there should be no need to explain this issue.
Because of her status as a queen, it is impossible for her to marry anyone. No matter who she marries, it will cause political problems. Therefore, at the end of the text, the queen will marry the country politically. cp Uh... Come with the development of the plot, after all, this is the Shura field, although it is a non-traditional Shura field... But anyway... Well, Adele will be a qualified king, she will not be shaken by any personal feelings, um... It is a A beauty with a heart of stone.
God, I originally wanted to write a story about letting go and refreshing, but before I knew it, I started to research evidence again. I was so tired of writing QAQ
[1] Elizabeth I 1533-1603[M]. Harbin: Harbin Publishing House. 2015.
Let me explain an earlier question, about the beginning "As the monarch of the empire, why is there only one person she can trust" and "Why can this be called a 'promising monarch'".
Some readers quoted the Queen of Scots for comparison, thinking that it is inappropriate why "even the Queen of Scotland" has a group of diehard loyalists. We take a look at the Queen of Scots, Mary Stuart and those who supported her. First of all, Mary Stuart grew up in the French royal family, and behind her is the power of the French royal family. And France supported Mary Stuart because it wanted to take advantage of the contradiction between Scotland and England, so as to extend its hand into England. The two countries have had a very complicated relationship since William the Conqueror, and both sides regard each other as their vassals. At that time, Britain had a complicated relationship among four parts: Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales. Elizabeth I was really just "the master of half the island". And on June 15, 1567, after the Carbury Hill conflict, Mary Stuart had actually lost her independent kingship and freedom, and she was put under house arrest. When she returned to Edinburgh, people insulted her as " The Bitch openly clamored to burn her, and her courtiers went to great lengths to inspire dislike for her, and her dynasty ended here.
So why later, during Mary's captivity for England, would there be "die loyalists" who wanted to rescue her? What must be mentioned here is the status of Mary herself. She refused to sign the "Treaty of Edinburgh", and in her own eyes, she had a more legitimate right to the British throne than Elizabeth I. Mary herself is a Catholic, and Elizabeth I is a Protestant. The Pope of Rome and other Catholic countries undoubtedly want to support a Catholic on the British throne. What Mary hopes is to seize the British throne through conspiracy, and her allies get her promise that "if they invade England, they will be supported by many influential nobles in England." This is not a die-hard loyalty, but out of covetousness for Britain, the Catholic forces in Europe support her ascension to the throne and assist her in conspiracy.
On the other hand, the queen, Adele is the first queen in the history of the Roland Empire. What she will face is the exclusion of the entire political class, the strong dissatisfaction of the traditional male society with such a female ruler, and the chaotic and sharp old and new religions at that time. Contradictions - By the time Mary Stuart returned to Scotland, Bloody Mary and the reign of Elizabeth I had opened the way for how a woman could become king.
Adele, she is the first queen in Roland's history. She has no one to pave the way for this kind of innovation before, and what she will face is the full-scale counterattack of the entire male-dominated society. Moreover, at the time of the mutiny, Adele had only been on the throne for three years. This was a very short period, but she was in a background of sharp social contradictions, and her regime was extremely unstable. Second, what is a "coup"? A coup d'état differs from a revolution in that it is a political conspiracy that occurs rapidly over a short period of time, concentrated at the top of the ruling hierarchy. The process of the coup d'état was as swift as thunder, and Heinrich, who was most trusted by the queen at that time, betrayed her, which made the queen's plan to leave the secret passage fail. The situation is difficult, and you can also organize a counterattack in the day palace. Most of the coups in history were unexpected, and even the history of China is full of a large number of palace coups. Could it be that those emperors who died because of palace coups did not have people who were loyal to them? No, it's just that the speed of the palace changes is too fast, and it is difficult to react at the speed of information transmission in ancient society. In the history of Europe, there are countless kings who died of conspiracy. Shakespeare's play once expressed emotion that the fate of the monarchs was either poisoned to death, assassinated or exiled. In this case, the coup happened suddenly, and even if there were people who supported the queen, it would be difficult to provide timely assistance.
As for "how can the Queen be called 'promising'" is the concept of history, the unfinished policies and plans left by the Queen, the Queen's emphasis on civilian officers... Well, to describe it in terms we are more familiar with is " Before starting a business, the middle road collapsed." Historians of later generations will consider these decrees and analyze their background, influence, meaning and role... Those who read history should be familiar with this, after all, water essays are necessary.]
