[Devil's Law] When the Tulips Bloom

In fact, Charlie had long thought that this day would come. When Charlie heard that his father declared Karina as the heir to the first throne in front of all the officials, he was neither surprised nor angry, let alone disturbed. All in all, react calmly as if it really has nothing to do with you.

This year is the fifth year of the Empire 970, Charlie is 19 years old, and Karina is 17 years old.After ten years ago, His Majesty Augustine VII named the Duke of Tulip, now this unprecedentedly wise and wise yet tough emperor has done another unprecedented thing.Abandoning his son, he left the throne to his daughter instead.

The 19-year-old Charlie has gathered a lot of power around him. Although Charlie respects and fears his father from the bottom of his heart, and has absolutely no courage to confront Prince Chen head-on, he develops his own power and strengthens his confidence. It is also something that every prince will do.But this point of power is not worth mentioning in the eyes of his father. Charlie knew it well, and the ministers around him questioned Prince Chen's decision. However, Charlie knew very well that his father's decision was not something they could control.

Karina was sitting on the seat next to him. Charlie didn't turn his head to see Karina's expression at the moment. Maybe three years ago, when Prince Chen insisted on letting Karina listen to and discuss politics together, he had already made a decision .The noise of the dispute around him gradually died down, and the sudden silence of a needle drop could be heard in the hall, and Charlie knew that everyone's attention was on him at the moment.

How will His Royal Highness Charles, who was deprived of the right to inherit the first throne by his own sister, react?

Everyone is waiting for Charlie's reaction.Charlie suddenly smiled, Charlie looked very much like Prince Chen, this smile undoubtedly made the similarity between the two even more. "Since it was the father's decision," Charlie looked up at Prince Chen and Du Wei, who was sitting side by side, "then I also believe that the empire can be entrusted to Karina."

There was another deathly silence, and then an incessant whisper broke out.How much of what Charlie said at the moment was true or false?Was he really willing to hand over the throne, or did he act obediently on the surface and then act in private?Even Karina, at this moment, was somewhat uncertain what her brother was thinking.Perhaps only Prince Chen, Du Wei and Charlie himself understood the meaning of these words. Charlie really had no intention of fighting for anything.

Charlie is not a very bad person. Although he was self-willed and self-willed when he was a child, he changed a lot after experiencing the blows from his biological mother.Even though he still doesn't like Du Wei or that Gabriel, he is very close to Prince Chen and Karina.

What Karina said back then was right. His closest relatives in this world were only a father and a sister. Although he was in the royal family, it didn't mean that Charlie didn't desire family affection.On the contrary, the matter of the former queen infinitely deepened Charlie's hope for his real relatives. As a result, while Charlie admired his father, he also loved his sister Karina very much.

Charlie knew that Prince Chen treated him and Karina equally. In comparison, Du Wei was the one who preferred Karina.Charlie has learned various ways and means of handling government affairs from Prince Chen these years. Even with Prince Chen personally teaching him, Charlie still feels powerless, and his aptitude is still not so good after all.But Karina is different, even if no one mentions it, she can learn by herself without a teacher, and her sensitivity to politics seems to be born, almost exactly the same as Prince Chen.

Charlie still has self-knowledge, admitting that he is not as good as his sister, although it is a bit embarrassing, but since it is a fact, he still has the courage to face it.Now that the matter was over, since he didn't have the guts to do anything to kill the father and the king—of course, the success rate of this matter is infinitely equal to zero—and he didn't intend to fight openly and secretly with his sister, so he simply retired.

It was easy for Charlie to imagine, but there were not many people who really thought he would just give in like this, but he didn't bother to care about those people, and left after the meeting.Back in her own palace, Angel brought the child to greet her.Charlie and Angel got married three years ago, and their son was just three months old, and he gave birth to a cute Yuxue, who completely inherited Angel's beauty.

"How is the child?" Charlie laughed when he saw his wife and child, took the child from his wife's hand, and teased him in his arms skillfully, "This child is really getting more and more beautiful."

Angel smiled softly, "I just fed and fell asleep again, so be careful not to disturb him."

"How could it be?" Charlie got close to his son for a while, and then let the court lady take the child down to rest, leaving only Angel, who always had something to say. "You should have heard the news."

If you want to say where the news circulates the fastest, it is the palace. Unless it is the real owner of this place, almost no one can hide the secret.Of course Angel understood what news Charlie was talking about, she said, "If Your Highness is referring to the news announced by His Majesty today, then yes, I already know about it."

"Is there nothing you want to say?" Charlie stared at Angel's beautiful side face with deep eyes.

Angel shook her head, "Is there anything I need to say?"

Charlie said, "I thought you would encourage me to fight with Karina, after all, you could have become a queen when you married me." At this point, Charlie shook his head as if thinking of something, "No, yes I'm thinking about it..." The Liszt family is a staunch ally of the Tulip family, and Du Wei must have contributed a lot to the establishment of Karina as the heir.

Charlie is very clear, although Du Wei has resigned from all his duties in the court since the ceremony of conferring the queen ten years ago, and seems to be his imperial queen in peace.But the fiefdom in the northwest is still Du Wei's, the Tulip family's private army has not cut a member, Du Wei is free to enter and leave the palace, and there are still people coming and going in the Tulip Duke's mansion.What Du Wei abandoned was only the power on the surface. In fact, the influence of the Tulip family has not diminished much. On the contrary, as the queen's relatives, their interests have been guaranteed in another way.Of course, all of this was acquiesced by his father.

Angel was not affected by Charlie's words. She still said softly, "It doesn't matter to me whether I become a queen or not." The sincerity in her voice cannot be doubted, "I am very satisfied with my life now."

Charlie looked at Angel's demure and soft demeanor as before, and held her hand, "I was thinking about it..." He was engaged at the age of nine, married at the age of 16, and he is 19 years old this year. He has known it for ten years Angel was a less ambitious woman than he was. "Feel sorry."

"It's nothing." Losing the right to inherit the throne, Angel had long been prepared for Charlie to lose his temper, but this level was simply not worth mentioning.

"Your Highness," the attendant outside the door raised his voice, "Earl Rollin is visiting."

Charlie couldn't hold back, but the corner of his mouth twitched, his face darkened a little, why did Gabriel come to look for him at this time?He swore that if he came to laugh at him, he would definitely have Gabriel kicked out!Angel covered her mouth and smiled, her husband always looked like this every time he saw Gabriel.

"Please come in." Although Charlie didn't want to see anyone, he couldn't just shut Gabriel out.

"Charlie, Angel." Gabriel and Charlie have been friends since childhood. When no one else is around, they never pay much attention to etiquette, and Angel is not an outsider.

"Just tell me if you have anything to say." For Gabriel, Charlie has a very high degree of patience—speaking of it is a burst of bitter tears. If he doesn't take his status as a prince in his eyes, he will beat him if he doesn't agree with him. That is Gabriel, but every time he goes to sue his father, he turns a blind eye. Gabriel also has a more cruel brother, what do you think he can do? !

Gabriel looked Charlie up and down, only to see Charlie almost frowned, and said, "Oh...it looks okay, and I'm not too angry, tsk tsk, I thought you would hide and cry."

Charlie smashed a teacup, and the veins on his forehead twitched. He knew that Gabriel had nothing to say! "Who would cry, bastard!"

"It's you who lost the throne, right?" Gabriel easily avoided the teacup, and continued to prod Charlie carelessly, "I ran away just after the meeting ended, did you really not come back to cry?"

"Gabriel Rollin!" Charlie's eyes lit up.

Gabriel shrugged, and then he explained why he came, "Okay, don't stare at me, Karina asked me to come here." Gabriel squinted at Charlie, "She wants to come to see you, but she's afraid of you I don't want to see her at all right now, so please ask me to see what's wrong with you."

Charlie sighed, "Karina is thinking too much, how could I not want to see her, after all, she is my only sister."

Gabriel was surprised, "So, you were telling the truth then?"

"Even you don't believe it, no wonder Karina is like this." Charlie felt very helpless, he really said whatever he thought, why didn't everyone believe it?

"Who would believe what you said at that time," Gabriel rolled his eyes, "It sounds like a declaration of war, okay?"

This time it was Charlie's turn to roll his eyes, and then he started to slam people, "Anyway, I'm telling the truth, you just tell Karina like that... Forget it, I'll go find Karina by myself later. Do you have anything else to do?" If not, hurry out, I still want to accompany my son."

Gabriel also simply got up and left. Before leaving, he did not forget to sarcastically say, "Since your son was born, you have only cared about your son all day long. No wonder the throne was robbed by Karina."

Charlie didn't mind the irony and went back, "I don't know who has been urged by the Queen to have more children since I got married!"

Gabriel got married a year earlier than Charlie, and naturally he married his fiancée, the granddaughter of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Miss Ossie.Because Du Wei will never have children in this life, the huge Tulip family cannot be without an heir, so from Gabriel's marriage, Du Wei urged them to have children quickly, so that he can give him an heir in the future .But I don't know what happened. There was no movement for three or four years, and it was only recently confirmed that Ossie was two months pregnant.

Thinking of being urged by his brother to have a baby, Gabriel was full of black lines. He gave Charlie a hard look, and then walked away without looking back.

Charlie, who consciously made a comeback, took a new teacup and drank tea in a good mood, while Angel looked on with a smile on his side.

……

In July 970, His Majesty Augustine VII appointed Princess Karina as the first heir to the throne.

In May 970, Mrs. Ossie gave birth to twin boys. The youngest son was adopted by the Tulip family. He became the adopted son of Du Wei and changed his surname to Rudolph.

In March of the fifth year of the Empire, His Majesty Augustine VII took the throne and toured the mainland with His Royal Highness Tulip.Princess Karina ascended the throne as the emperor, called Her Majesty Karina I, thus opening a precedent for the rule of queens in the Roland Empire.

In June 14, Her Majesty Karina I appointed the youngest son of Prince Charles as the heir to the first throne.This queen, dubbed "Bloody Thorn Flower" by later generations, was tough and gentle during her reign, diligent and wise, but Queen Karina never married in her entire life, and this matter has become an unsolved mystery for later generations one of the questions.
