Chapter 12 Basement
A beam of moonlight came to a valley, passed through the dense jungle, and suddenly penetrated into a gully puddle, splashing water, and the dark puddle seemed much brighter and brighter.
The spring breeze blew the stamens again, and the puddles roared again, as if one year old had been added.
In the forest, there seemed to be disturbed by the spring breeze, and loud screams sounded, like animals and humans, alarming all things in their sleep.
The rest of the moonlight turned its attention to the peaks. Only by conquering enough heights can the world be conquered. This is the belief of the moonlight elves.
No matter how high or rugged the mountain peaks are, they are left to hide under the moonlight, and are kneaded and played with them at will. As moonlight, they never take anyone seriously.
After conquering everything on the earth, the moonlight seemed to be satisfied, and the moon outside the window seemed to become brighter and brighter.
In the room, Charlesch was lying naked on the bed covered with water stains, watching the water-like young woman wearing her cumbersome clothes.
It was only two hours since they arrived at the room. Charlie, who had left the woman for a long time, was a little dissatisfied.
"Let's leave now?"
Charlie looked at the smooth and plump body in front of him, and unconsciously climbed the mountain covered with cumbersome clothes with his hands, and asked softly.
"Of course, my prince!" The young woman's face, which seemed to be watered, had a lazy smile.
"I'm going back. Isn't it enough for you to bother me just now?" He knocked off Charlie's random hand, and the young woman looked at his face tenderly, with her eyes blurred.
"Madam, you are so charming. I suddenly feel a little reluctant to part with you!"
"Hmph! You men all say this, and in the end you put on your pants and leave!"
After putting on his clothes and cleaning up his body, the young woman snorted coldly, and her blurred expression immediately dissipated a lot.
Obviously, Charlie's words reminded her of the men she met before and she felt worse.
This made him smile bitterly.
"Goodbye, dear Prince!" Before leaving, the young woman turned around, kissed Charlie's forehead, then twisted her butt, and walked out with her legs slightly open.
From beginning to end, Charlie did not ask her what her name was, and she did not take the initiative to tell her name. The two had a tacit understanding.
Charlie smiled dismissively. One-night stands were very common in the 18th century, and even said that they had become a fashion.
This kind of dewy couple has become the norm in the entire European aristocratic circle. Many nobles and ladies even compare with the number of lovers they have and are vain.
However, noble ladies must abide by the rules before getting married and before giving birth to heirs for their husband's family and not having any extramarital affair. Sometimes male nobles are also required, whether Catholic or Protestant, in this regard, are strictly required.
But if the heir is born, the nobles can squander at will, and it doesn’t matter how many lovers there are.
In the future, the United States is different. It is easy to get married before marriage, and after marriage, all chaotic relationships must be cut off.
Therefore, Charlie did not take the one-night stand with this noble young woman, even the dew that she had not even had a night of love.
Put on your clothes, look at the chaotic room, then get up and wander around the entire Sterling Palace.
Along the way, the young guards had already done their guard work and started patrol work. Seeing this, Charlie nodded with satisfaction.
"The Palace of Stirling has not been in my hands for a long time. Who knows how many spies or killers have been ambushed!"
"Yes, Your Highness, please be careful!" Walking in the corridor, a sudden sound sounded, and Charlie had goosebumps all over the floor.
When he looked up, he found that it was a cold and angular face, and Charlie breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dear O'Neal Knight, why are you here?" Charlie was shocked when he saw O'Neal's appearance as if he was taken for granted, and then spoke in disbelief:
"You won't be following me all the time!"
"Yes, Your Highness, Your Majesty the King ordered me to protect you closely and not to lose any loss!"
O'Neal said calmly, with a look of habit.
"Then, you were there just now?"
"Yes, I need to protect you in close proximity. Besides, I am guarding you outside the door, which allows the maid who is attracted by the high voices in the room to leave! You are not disturbed!"
"Thank you then!" Charlie was a little dazed for a moment, his face looked ugly.
Souls from later generations are still not used to it, too shameful, and they are simply overwhelmed with shame.
"You're welcome, this is what I should do!" Knight O'Neal glanced at the prince's ugly expression, a little strange. Didn't he guard the door before? Why did the prince mind now?
Although he was a little confused, his tone was still very stern.
"It's okay! Let's go to the master bedroom, which used to be lived in by the king!"
Charlie waved his hand and said helplessly.
In this way, in the huge Stirling Palace, or Stirling Castle, Charlie and O'Neill walked while admiring the castle from Scottish characteristics.
The two, one from later generations, and the other stayed in Rome for a long time, were both amazed by the Scottish style.
However, slowly, the two walked to the basement, where the royal supplies were stored.
Of course, this was also something Edward intended.
If I remember well, my predecessor owed Parisian merchant 180,000 livres, which can also be called 180,000 francs, worth about 9,000 pounds.
The ratio of francs to pounds is about twenty to one, so it is nine thousand pounds. At that time, each pound was equal to ten grams of gold, and each gram of gold was about two hundred and six, which is equivalent to more than 20 million now.
In other words, each pound is equivalent to 2,600 yuan.
This is all the funds for Charlie's predecessor to come to Scotland to revolt, and he also spent some money to buy two ships.
At that time, a female seamstress in London earned only 20 pounds a year, which was still a middle class; in "Jane Eyre", Jane Eyre worked as a female tutor in Sanfeld Manor, and her annual income was 20 pounds (food and accommodation).
Now, the money seized is less than 5,000 pounds left, not enough to repay the debt.
Moreover, Charlie also wants to live a decaying noble life? What should I do if I don’t have money?
So, wandering around at night is just an excuse, he just wants to sweep it and get some money.
As a result, he had no choice but to come to the basement of the castle, which was his only hope.
"Your Highness, it's too dark and wet here, let's go back!" O'Neal suddenly felt something was wrong. The dripping sound of water made the environment even more strange at this time. He noticed the dangerous aura.
"But..." Edward was about to say that he had gained nothing, his heartbeat suddenly increased.
