  Candidates for Chapter 203

  ps: The end of the month, ask for tickets, ask for subscription

  As Princess Elizabeth disembarked with red and swollen eyes, accompanied by several maids and guards, Princess Mary officially entered the warship.

  The warship began to sail, and gradually left Edward's sight, until there was no trace of it.

  The cold wind blows away the long hair at the back of Edward's head. The long gray-brown hair looks very elegant, adding a touch of chic.

   "Let's go! Elizabeth, we should go back!" Edward sighed as he squinted his eyes slightly as he watched the departing ship under the sunlight.

   "Yes!" Elizabeth softly agreed, but her slender jade neck didn't move at all, her eyes were cast on the river rippled by the wind, obsessed.

  Seeing this, Edward didn't urge her to go back. It's not bad to stay here for a while.

  If Princess Mary’s mother died of depression after divorce, then Princess Elizabeth’s mother was directly beheaded by Henry VIII and died miserably.

  Since childhood, Princess Elizabeth and Princess Mary have had the same illness and depended on each other for life. It can be said that in Princess Elizabeth's mind, Princess Mary is equivalent to the role of mother.

   This is the farewell, I don't know when and what month we will meet again.

  Elizabeth, who is wearing a long white dress today, has not undergone much modification, only lace has been added to the skirt.

  Standing withered like this, Edward felt a little uncomfortable, so he simply found a topic to enliven the atmosphere.

   "You have this day too, Elizabeth!" Edward said with emotion as he stared at the river surface under the sun, reflecting light from time to time, irritating his eyes.

   "Yes! I also have this day!" Princess Elizabeth also murmured, and then she realized that her calm face was cloudy and rainy. She turned her head and said excitedly, "I won't get married!"

  Seeing the great contrast, Edward himself was shocked, speechless for a while.

   "Elizabeth, every woman must marry, even if you are a princess!" Looking at the excited Her Royal Highness, Edward looked a little restless, looking into Princess Elizabeth's dark blue eyes, and said word by word.

   "Unless you want to become a nun!" Edward smiled exaggeratedly.

   "I won't release the nun!" Thinking of the nuns chanting scriptures and singing in the monastery all day long, Elizabeth's scalp felt numb.

   "I won't marry either!" Looking at her younger brother who had become king, Elizabeth continued without hesitation.

   "You are already eighteen years old, there is no princess who won't get married, you will be a laughing stock!" Edward felt a little headache about this, but he didn't give up, he still tried to persuade, with a hint of pleading on his face.

   Elizabeth was unmoved by this, and looked at Edward with stubborn eyes, and said decisively: "Stop talking, I won't get married anyway!"

Hearing this sentence, Edward felt his head hurt even more. He did not marry Princess Elizabeth to change history, but for her sake. After more than ten years of getting along, an iron rod has been ground into dozens of needles. Not to mention siblings who are related by blood.

  Elizabeth was so determined that she even looked into Edward's eyes, telling him her stubbornness and confrontation accurately.

   "Okay! Up to you!" Edward resigned helplessly and waved his hand, "In a few years you will tell me that you want to get married!"

  Elizabeth watched her young brother make concessions, and then her eyes gradually softened, and her tone became friendly.

   "Don't worry about this, your sister has her own decision!"

   After finishing speaking, he showed a toothless smile, turned around and walked away generously.

   Seeing this, Edward could only shrug his shoulders, glanced at the sky where the dark clouds were gradually rising, and sighed.

   "It depends on God's will!"

  Edward understands that Elizabeth saw her mother beheaded when she was a child, and she was too scared. Now she still resists getting married, and the burden is heavy!

  Afterwards, Edward followed, his handsome face was modest and polite, and the surrounding nobles finally saw His Majesty's face like this. The low-ranking nobles who didn't see each other several times a year faced such a gentle and humble His Majesty the King, and they had a much better impression of His Majesty the King.

  Take time out to meet several high-prestige nobles, and then Edward, escorted by his guards, boards the carriage.

  The aristocrats couldn't help feeling sorry for this. It was rare to see His Majesty the king for such a short time.

  Not long after returning to the palace, Edward and Elizabeth separated and went about their own business.

  The next day, August 11th, 1549, the weather in London was cloudy, the air quality was not bad, with a slight cool breeze, and the temperature was around 20 degrees, which was a pleasant weather.

  So, early in the morning, Elizabeth took the Queen Mother Mary and little Lolita to a horse farm outside London, leaving Edward alone, who called him a king!

  Jack got up from the room early in the morning, put on the guard's clothes, cleaned up his appearance, and walked out of the room confidently after feeling quite satisfied.

   At this time, other people in the room also got up one after another, combing their clothes on their own.

   "Jack, why did you get up so early today!" asked a sleepy-eyed guard wearing shorts, with doubts in his eyes.

   "His Majesty the King summoned me today, can you not come earlier?" Jack said coquettishly with a proud face.

   "Tsk tsk! Jack, you'll be prosperous in the future!" Another guard sighed enviously.

   "Just don't forget us!" one of the remaining guards added before Jack left.

   Regarding this, Jack just smiled, and he didn't take it all in. He knew that whether he can develop today depends on luck.

  But the roommates who have lived together for two years will not forget them if they have benefits.

  After being adopted by the king, he came to the palace to become a bodyguard. This was an honorable and respectable job. The monthly salary was as much as two pounds, which allowed him to save a lot of money without worrying about board and lodging.

   Yes, he is still not satisfied, he wants to stand out, climb to a higher position, and never go hungry again, he has had enough of these uncomfortable days.

   If you want to realize this wish, you have to climb up and become a master.

   For him, the only way out at present is to be favored by the king, so as to seize the opportunity.

  Since yesterday, when Emma, ​​who was born as an orphan, sent someone to inform the king that he wanted to see him, he knew that the waiting opportunity was in front of him, and he must work hard to get it, no matter how high the price was.

   Silently making up his mind, Jack had a faint smile on his face, and when he met the acquainted guards on the road, he nodded slightly in response.
