Sur ma peau

Chapter 23 Tower of Babel

His Majesty the King was the first to lose his composure. The edict was delivered to Minos’ mansion after dinner the next day. When the herald came in, Minos was changing the medicine for Abafica. It was a bit unwelcoming, and Yabofika could feel it, probably because of the rejection from his peers, so he declined Sir's kindness to ask the doctor in person, and handed over the follow-up work to Minos, which also saved the elderly The work of the Jazz running around.

"Your Highness, please return to Versailles tonight."

After the herald read the edict, Jabofika stood up straight, a little bit helpless. Louis handed over the position of first heir to him when he had an heir. Scattered favors, and dissatisfied with the existence of Minos.

"His Royal Highness." Seeing that Yabofika did not show any signs of leaving immediately, the herald called out remindingly.

"Please wait a moment." The time when the herald came in was too unlucky, the wound had only had time to change the ointment hastily, and hadn't bandaged it yet.Yabofika handed Minos his hand so that he could continue the previous work, but Minos didn't do it immediately.

If he is the crown prince, he must no longer have an ambiguous relationship with someone of the same sex. The coronation must be performed by the church, and even a political marriage of equal status is required to consolidate his position.So the Earl, no, His Royal Highness, will you violate their agreement?

Minos couldn't help wondering how many people could resist the temptation in front of power.

"I'll be back tomorrow, don't worry." Yabofika seemed to see through his mind, and comforted him.

Minos smiled inexplicably, did not answer, just cut the gauze and completed the task at hand.

But for a few days, no news came back. Minos finished sorting out the evidence and cases in his hands, and quietly controlled the Supreme Court bit by bit.

It was not until the fourth day that the carriage from Versailles came in a hurry. The white uniforms of the Guards were not dragoons.The royal family wanted to kill him, and there was no need for such a big battle. Minos calmly handed over the work to Luni and boarded the carriage.

Among the people who came was Abfika's attendant. When the carriage drove away from Paris, he said, "Your Majesty has placed my master under house arrest. He didn't miss the appointment on purpose."

As far as I can guess, if the king is not so indecisive and directly makes people "disease" in Versailles, it will not be surprising to remove the threat and regain power.

Accepting him into Versailles right now is a compromise.Then it shows that the stand that Yabo Fika fought against has won.In the past few days, the news of him taking over the position of Grand Prince has not spread in Paris, so is he refusing power, or is it the conditions attached to power?

In the corridor leading to the outside of the earl's suite, there are two rows of heavily armed guards standing neatly. In addition to house arrest, there should be a fortification. in other senses.

To be afraid of the sharp knife in your own hand is like the behavior of a weak king.Minos couldn't help but see the peaceful sleeping face of Japafika, which is as classical and pure as a famous marble sculpture. Even the sharp sword of kingship is contained in a sheath of gold and precious stones, wrapped in layers. A layer of silk and satin is not a threat.

Even under house arrest, Yabofika did not stop working. When Minos entered the room, he was still bent over the pile of official documents. He thought it was an attendant who came in. He didn't look up, but said: "Please help me Pour a cup of tea."

Minos didn't open his mouth, took the thermos bottle on the low table, filled the enamel-colored silver teapot with water, and poured it into the cup at his hand after the tea leaves were brewed.

"Thank you."

Different from the usual posture of wearing formal clothes, it is not the bathrobe or pajamas that are put on before going to bed, but the more casual robes in daily life, which hides the figure but is softer. Minos noticed the gorgeous The gold chain extending from one side of the four-poster bed winds all the way to the feet and disappears in the living room robes that hang down to the ankles. The practice of domesticating pet birds is now used on the noble prince, which is quite erotic smell.

Realizing that the people around him had no intention of retreating, Yabofika raised her head, was slightly taken aback when she saw the person coming, and called out the person's name in surprise.

"Minos?" Louis blocked his connection with Paris the night he summoned him back. Versailles removed the guards stationed and the royal family's private guards. He did not want to conflict with Louis again, and he did not call army.The status of crown prince means that he can bring weapons and bodyguards into parliament and other political occasions.It’s just another message from Louis, cut off the relationship with Minos, choose a princess, or a duchess with an equivalent status, abandon the third class, and suppress the church with power, just like the Sun King did 100 years ago do that.Yabofika refused to accept it, and was therefore placed under house arrest, unable to leave his apartment, and only official business and discussions could go on as usual.Recently, a few acquaintances have come one after another, as Louis's envoy or his own wishes to persuade, as long as he agrees to the conditions and walks out of this room, he will be the Grand Prince of France, the crown prince, and his name is justified. actual power holders.

This stalemate has been going on for several days, and he is waiting for Louis to dismiss the idea, whether it is the selection of the crown prince or the interference with his plans and private life.

"You can always get yourself into trouble." Minos said, taking the quill from Abafica and putting it on the pen holder, "What do you use to judge right from wrong, what to use to defend your rights As he said so, he grabbed Yabofika's right hand, and the scab on the wound had fallen off, leaving a light-colored scar, "Or are you used to this, letting others play with you like a puppet?"

"What can be solved is not considered a dilemma. My duty is to protect and maintain the stability of the kingdom, not to cause turmoil." Withdrawing his hand from Minos, Yabofika closed the unfinished document. Since Minos Here, it means that Louis has made the final decision.

"Perhaps I should learn this method and lock you in the mansion." Minos said, looking at the chains at his feet that shattered and collided with each other's movements.

Yabofika sneered when he heard the words. He could understand Louis's actions. After all, once he lost control, his lethality would not be lower than that of their father, but if someone else did it, it would be an offense.

"It's not in our contract, sir."

The end of the words was swallowed by Minos into the lips, and occasionally they would kiss, as if they had completed an obligation, not like now, breathing intertwined, entangled and sucking the tip of the tongue, unable to organize the intensity of the words.

"I hope you can treat yourself as a normal person, not a tool." Minos said bitterly, letting go of his bright red lips.

Who would love such an emotionless monster.
