"What? Edward was assassinated?" Marin stood up in surprise, his face filled with complex expressions.
Of course, this expression was mainly shocked. But, I was also a little secretly happy?
Marin asked after a while, after surprised:
"Is the news reliable? How is His Majesty Edward?" Marin's subtext was - is Edward dead?
As Marin's confidant, how could Kohler not know what his master meant? So he shook his head and said:
"It's just that my arm was cut and I need to recuperate for several months, and there are no fatal injuries..."
"That's how..." Marlin was full of disappointment and thought that his son could enter England early. As a result, he was so happy.
At this moment, Kohler suddenly said:
"However, we found that the assassination of His Majesty Edward seems to be related to the French..."
"What's going on?" Marin asked after interest.
"It's like this. In recent times, France and the United Kingdom have had extremely bad relationships because of the ownership of the Calais Fortress. The French even really thought of capturing Calais by throwing clothes from the dead of smallpox patients. But later, because your Majesty, you offered the vowelpox law, the British immediately planted vowelpox for the people in the Calais Fortress, which made the French plan bankrupt."
"So, in the next time, France and Britain engaged in military confrontation and negotiations. However, the relationship between the two sides reached a freezing point, and they wanted to die. The assassin who assassinated Edward this time, after the cooperation of our North Sea country's spies in London, it was found that the assassin was bribed by the French and ambushed His Majesty Edward outside the Westminster Cathedral."
"However, His Majesty Edward was very lucky. The knife that stabbed him in his heart was blocked by the chest plate armor hidden in his clothes. The assassin failed to hit him and could only cut off His Majesty Edward's left arm..."
...
Marin shook his head:
"How could he wear chest armor in his clothes? So slim?"
Kohler looked at Marin speechlessly and said:
"Did you forget? When you helped Edward attack Henry VII, His Majesty Edward was with us every day. When you entered the city of London, did you demonstrate to him that he was wearing chest armor in a silk robe?"
Marin suddenly realized that he was so damn, saying that others were so naughty, wouldn’t he scold him? Marin himself forgot about this for many years.
I am a person who is afraid of death. Every time I go out to hold a ceremony, I wear a steel chest armor in my silk robe to protect my vitals to avoid being assassinated. Unexpectedly, I was accidentally learned by Edward.
In fact, he didn't teach Edward on purpose, but when he led the army into London, he saw Edward's shiny chest armor wearing a silk robe. Edward just asked casually at the time, and Marin also answered casually. As a result, Edward remembered this method...
It is not a pity that Edward wanted to learn this method, because when he entered London to overthrow Henry VII's rule, under the instigation of Marin, Edward started a massacre, massacred too many nobles of Henry VII's faction and formed too many blood feuds. It can be said that in England, there were not tens of thousands, but thousands of people who wanted to kill Edward.
But as a monarch, you always have to go to important places such as the Plaza, Westminster Cathedral and other important places to participate in public activities. At this time, even on the way to the church, you are prone to assassination.
Therefore, Edward also learned from Marin and wore a three-quarter chest plate armor in his gorgeous silk robe to protect important parts such as the heart.
This time he participated in an important religious event at Westminster Cathedral, and was caught by an assassin. He took advantage of the chaos of the crowd and stabbed him up.
But the assassin did not expect that Edward was wearing a chest armor under his gorgeous robe, and then he failed...
Before being hacked to death by Edward's guards, he swung his knife hard to hit Edward's throat. Then, Edward blocked his left arm and injured his left arm. Then, the assassin was chopped into eight pieces by Edward's guards...
...
Originally, the clues were cut off because the assassin was killed on the spot. But just so happened that the spy in North Sea Kingdom in London had seen the assassin contact with a merchant in a tavern the day before the assassination. The merchant was a French merchant.
This is not the point, the point is that this French businessman took root in London by placing the French maid next to Queen Anna...
The problem is now big. Queen Anna's maid is related to the assassination? It really doesn't!
Queen Anna's maid Marceau was the "innocence" Frenchman selected by Edward after dismissing all the maids arranged by Edward for Anna, who was appointed by Earl Dult, and personally sent someone to France to select the "innocence" Frenchman in order to ease the queen's homesickness. After all, a group of maids from her hometown accompanied her and spoke her hometown dialect, and she was not lonely.
But it happened here. The French merchant named Weissman and French spy happened to be a distant relative of the queen maid named Marceau. In order to facilitate the invasion of London, Weissman took Marceau's path and entered London...
The queen's maid was still a little embarrassed. Weissman quickly took root in London and specialized in the introduction of French wine (England imports a large amount of wine every year), as well as the export of English woolen velvet.
This time, taking the opportunity to arrange for people to assassinate Edward, was actually the order of Weisman's boss. In the eyes of the French, Edward took away the Calais Fortress, which was indeed very "abusive". Therefore, the French also wanted Edward to die early.
Once Edward dies, England will definitely be in chaos. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the French will have the opportunity to retake the Calais Fortress. And because Edward has no children, England may even have civil unrest, giving France the opportunity to invade its homeland...
Therefore, Weisman hired a poor former English nobleman named Bill and sent him to assassinate Edward. The hired former nobleman, Bill, was a baron during the period of Henry VII. Although he was not a high position and powerful person, his whole family was rich.
But in the fight against the Marin army hired by Edward to march into London, Bill's father Baron Gates died as a middle-level officer outside London.
Because he was not a high-level noble, Edward did not target him when he was pacified. And Bill was very cleverly disguised himself and escaped, but he was not liquidated.
However, Bill seemed to have been infected with pneumonia this time and was not long before his death (At that time, Europe had pneumonia and was basically waiting to die, and there was no cure). Weisman also took this eye on this and bewitched him and said - Anyway, you are about to die, so you might as well do a feat before you die and kill Edward, who ruined your family...
Then, Bill of the Gates family, with full of hatred and relied on the aristocratic family to learn some martial arts, preparing to assassinate Edward. Moreover, he really found a chance.
At that time, many people were worshiping. Bill was wearing an ordinary monk's uniform and lowered his head, but he didn't attract attention. After all, the most common monks were the Westminster Cathedral.
But when he assassinated Edward in the end, he didn't expect Edward to wear chest armor in his robe and then he had to drink hatred...
...
Afterwards, the British officials did not catch Weisman because he hurried out of the city and ran away early in the morning. In the end, Edward's men only caught Weisman's men and the unlucky maid Marceau.
This innocent French girl named Marceau took most of Edward's anger and was beaten to death...
...
Hearing this, Marin changed his previous depression of "Edward was not dead" and laughed.
