I Am Louis XIV

It was the Count d'Artagnan who reminded the king of Mr. Mancini instead of Ms. Mancini—the count angrily challenged Felipe Jules Mancini to a duel, Because he took the heart of Mrs. Lafayette.

Madame Lafayette is a beautiful woman in her twenties. She is not outstanding in the court of Paris just because of her appearance. In terms of status, she is more regarded as the female companion of the Duchess of Montpensier. It is known that she is superior to other noble ladies in her gentleness, chastity and profound literary accomplishment, especially the last one. When most women's education is still limited to religion and female celebrities, she can write The moving poems and articles can only be said to be very rare and respectable. People who pursue her are like crucian carp in the river, and Count d'Artagnan is one of them. If we say, this wise lady It would not have been surprising to have chosen a king, or a general or a scholar, but it was no wonder that d'Artagnan was so furious that she had succumbed to Monsieur Felipe in the end.

When the king hurried to the room where they were, the scene was already full of swords and swords. Mrs. Lafayette passed out and was helped to rest in the next room. Felipe smiled, put his hands in his coat, and looked careless. D'Artagnan looked serious, his shoulders were tense, and while he was fumbling for his sword, he kept staring at the wall—presumably he was worried about Mrs. Lafayette who was still in a coma, and several dukes And the officials, who were almost all on d'Artagnan's side, stared at Felipe.

"Who will tell me what is the matter?" asked the king.

D'Artagnan was pushed slightly, and he was not very afraid. Of course, Felipe was the bishop's nephew, but he was also deeply favored by the king, so he suppressed his anger and spoke to the king. What happened just now - in the court, the contacts between men and women are rarely criticized. Although Mrs. Lafayette chose Felipe to be confusing, D'Artagnan and other suitors have never done anything mean. However, in the party just now, Felipe blatantly pulled out a gorgeous ribbon from his sleeve—Mrs. Lafayette’s garter, Mrs. Lafayette’s Immediately fainted, Count D'Artagnan drew his sword in rage.

Now Louis knew why Mary called her elder brother a skunk, and he pressed his forehead. In the court, duels without the king's order are not allowed, but he really wanted Da Dagnan pierced the fellow with a sword. "Put your swords away, gentlemen." He said, "I will not allow you to bleed in my mother's suite."

"But only blood can pay for the sinner's insult to a worthy lady!" said d'Artagnan, gritting his teeth.

"I have never been in favor of a duel," said the king, seeing Felipe smile and d'Artagnan pale with anger: "but sometimes a duel may be a solution," he turned to Cardinal's nephew: "I want you to go out in the streets and fix this, but you won't let one of you take another's life."

"Then shall I accept this impertinent request?" Felipe said.

Louis glanced at him unexpectedly, after all it was all about his frivolity, and Louis didn't really like a man who was so contemptuous of women (she was his lover!), but since Felipe was after all Bishop Mazarin's nephew, so Louis only wanted to punish d'Artagnan with a small punishment, but Felipe's response showed that he did not understand the king's kindness at all.

From this room, you can see Felipe, d'Artagnan and others walking on the street. According to the duel convention, they should each have two assistants. D'Artagnan chose two musketeers, who are also his subordinates. As an assistant, and one of Felipe's assistants was surprising because he was none other than Philip, Duke of Anjou, Louis frowned.

Although d'Artagnan was too generous in love, he was not inferior to any warrior in battle. He rushed to Felipe, but Felipe retreated without any shame, leaving the battle to Duke of Anjou, facing the king's brother, d'Artagnan couldn't help restraining his hands and feet. He wanted to destroy the weapon of the king's brother, but Philip's grades in the martial arts course were not false. He was like a gleaming game. Like a fish swimming under d'Artagnan's sword, when d'Artagnan intended to end the fight with a dash, he slid sideways over the tip of d'Artagnan's sword - and then struck hard, piercing d'Artagnan Hanging arm - at this time his broken red shoulder strap slowly fell down.

Just when the other two musketeers could not decide whether they should go forward, Bontang quickly ran over and broke off the duel. With the help of his brother Philip, the shameless villain was able to retreat completely, and d'Artagnan Ang insisted on continuing the duel, but was forcibly suppressed by the king.

"I want to talk to you." Louis said to Philip, and then he glanced at Felipe who was standing not far away. The face of the bishop's nephew was unpredictable.

——

Louis thought that Philip would come to him at once, but he waited until it was almost bedtime, and he couldn't wait for his brother. He sat there feeling palpitating and restless, and went to the queen mother, who was She said her evening prayers, and when she saw the king, she was very surprised to hear that he was also looking for Philip, because he had gone away early in the morning, and she thought he was looking for her brother.

When the king was anxious, he caught a glimpse of Mary who was holding a candle tray for the queen mother. Mary subconsciously turned her head to avoid Louis' sight, but such behavior was purely to cover up, and the king only called out to Mary, She surrendered. Mary led the king all the way through the corridors and stairs, and came to a remote palace room. The king's mood became more and more tense, but at this moment they heard a low voice, and Louis wanted to rush in immediately, but He suddenly stopped, "Don't follow me!" He shouted sharply. Although Bontang and the attendants were unwilling, but the king was already very powerful, they stopped, and Mary followed closely behind the king.

It was a small suite with only three rooms, which belonged to some officials who were trusted by the king but did not have rooms in the Louvre. Comfortable and complete, Louis quickly searched the outermost small hall and saw that Philip's saber was thrown on the ground - although no candles were lit here, the moonlight was shining in from outside the door, and Philip's saber scabbard It was always studded with jewels—Louis found a shining brooch, also Philip's, in front of the door of the small hall and bedroom, the bedroom door was closed, Louis kicked the door without thinking, It jerked violently but didn't open. "I'm coming!" said Marie, and she dropped a cloud of ashes on the doorknob, which slammed onto the door after a short Latin word. On the ground, the king gave it another kick, and now it flew open with a thud, and the whole door swung back and hit the wall.

There was someone in the dormitory, and a person was panting in pain, and there was a strange smell mixed with a strong smell of blood. Mary's face suddenly became very ugly. Fortunately, the king couldn't see it in the dark, and then she heard Louis say: "Light the candles!"

"No!" shouted a young man, but Mary would not obey the second man's order, and she pressed her hand to the candlestick, which flickered and was lit.

The first thing Louis saw was Felipe, who was only wearing a linen underwear, with his legs bare, and then his brother Philip leaning against the bed, neatly dressed, just pressing his shoulder, which was bleeding continuously , as soon as he saw Louis, he shouted loudly: "Kill him! Louis...brother, kill him!"

Felipe looked flustered: "Wait! Your Majesty, I can explain!"

"Explain to the devil!" Louis said. He didn't want to hear what the other party said at all. He didn't even want to know what happened before. Sword, approaching the unarmed Felipe, Felipe still wanted to struggle, but as soon as he saw the king's eyes, he knew that the situation was over - he saw the flash of the sword, and his shoulder was pierced. Still triumphant, the reckless man screamed, "Mary! Help me!" while running away from the king's sword.

Mary stood there, motionless.

The king chased after him, and since he knew there was a dangerous other world, he never let go of his martial arts lessons, even if the strength of mortals could not compete with these monsters—he gave Felipe's thigh a sword again , he groaned and tried to crawl towards Philip, but Louis kicked him over, pointing the point of his sword at his chest.

But what Felipe sought was not Wangdi's help, but his spell material bag. He sang a spell aloud while pointing his finger at Louis.

Marie rushed over, faster than her was a small gray shadow, the king's kitten jumped out of his pocket, and landed on Felipe's face while dispelling the spell, digging out out of his eyeballs.

Louis stabbed down, and the tip of the sword slipped away from Felipe's ribs and pierced his lungs. He coughed violently, "Don't, don't kill me..." He cried weakly: "It's the bishop Sir, it was the Bishop who made me... make me do it! And the king..."

The king raised his sword silently and pierced his throat with all his strength.

There was an eerie silence after that.

The king stepped over Felipe's body and came to the king's brother. He had fainted due to blood loss, and Louis was not sure if he heard anything.

"Nothing happened tonight," Louie said, "Mary."
