Just when the councilors of the City of London arrived one after another, Kyle Lance took a few personal guards, sat in a carriage, wandered around for three or four days, and finally arrived in Paris, the Louvre where Henry II is temporarily resting. palace.

??As the palace of the royal family, the Louvre was originally designed as a defensive palace. Even if it was later expanded to be more brilliant, it only had face for the king and no sense of comfort.

Of course, for Henry II, the Louvre is full of the marks of his father François I, but he has always harbored resentment towards his father in his heart. He hates this palace, and he prefers Feng Gan Bailu Palace.

??However, in order to maintain the majesty of the king, in addition to adding various artworks to increase the king's reputation, he only came from the leisurely Maple Lew Palace when important events happened.

?? At this time, in the magnificent and solemn Louvre, in a luxuriously decorated room filled with various works of art, Henry II had unspeakable anger on his face.

?? In front of him, François de Guise, Duke of Guise, and Cardinal Charlie, had serious faces, not daring to provoke the king's wrath.

??They knew that the king in front of them had been abused by the King of Spain when he was a child. After returning to France, he had a very violent temper and was a type of ignited.

??At this time, although he loves art as much as his father, at this time, no matter how perfect the art is, it cannot escape his anger.

?? "Boom—" A body sculpture was instantly shattered in front of everyone, and immediately after, the oil paintings on the wall could not escape the murderous hands.

?? In an instant, a portrait worth several hundred gold coins was torn apart.

?? "It's a waste, what a famous naval officer, it's a waste!" Henry II cursed angrily with his eyes glowing.

?? "With so many ships, none of them came back, and let the English show off their might, what a waste!"

??Henry II's anger came and went quickly, and within a while, he calmed down by himself.

?? "You said, what should we do? We can't let the English keep showing off in front of us!"

??Henry II turned his attention to the Duke of Guise and consulted.

??As a loyal Catholic, the Duke of Guise, like Henry II, hated those Huguenots (Calvinists), so the Duke of Guise has always been Henry II's trusted minister.

?? "Your Majesty, news just came that Port Francisco was captured by the English!" the Duke of Guise lowered his head slightly and said in a muffled voice.

?? "What? The English have the guts, do they still want to taste the defeat?" Henry II raised his brows and asked sharply when he heard that the port had been captured.

?? "Your Majesty, just now, the English sent envoys to negotiate."

??As a staunch Catholic, Bishop Charlie looked at Henry II who was about to get angry, and said softly.

?? "Oh? Really? I'd like to see what the messenger has to say!" Henry II's eyes flashed coldly, his anger subsided instantly, and he sneered.

?? "Yes, Your Majesty!" The waiter at the side quickly trotted over to call.

??The Duke of Guise and Bishop Charles stood aside, and they also wanted to see what the messenger was here for!

?? After receiving the summons, Kyle Lance quickly adjusted his clothes and followed the waiter to the palace.

?? "Your Majesty the King, I am very glad that you are able to meet me! It is a great honor for me!" Kyle Lance said respectfully with a smile on his face after bowing.

?? "Speak! What did your young king tell me?" Henry II said contemptuously with his lips curled up.

?? "Your Majesty, because you sent a fleet to attack us in England for no reason, our Majesty is angry about this."

?? "Fortunately, with the blessing of God, we defeated your army, and in order to show respect, we also sent troops to occupy Francisco."

?? Kyle Lance said neither humble nor humble to the dismissive Henry II.

?? "Hmph! Don't think that I can't do anything after you capture Francisco. I don't think you will be defeated by my army in a day's time!"

??Henry II didn't take this threat to heart at all, looking at the English envoy in front of him, he said with a sneer.

?? "I advise you to give up this idea, this method will not help me! Sooner or later, I will fight England and capture your king alive."

?? For this situation, Kyle had expected that their first purpose of occupying the city was to search for money, and the second was as a bargaining chip.

?? "But, as far as I know, your country's navy is almost exhausted, right?" Kyle said without batting an eyelid, with a dignified attitude, or at the usual speed.

?? "Hehe! What's the matter, in a few months, when the ship is built, our navy will return to normal immediately!"

??Henry II replied indifferently, without even looking at Kyle.

?? "However, Your Majesty, if our English navy has been blocking your country's ports or harassing your country's coastline for the past few months, I'm afraid it will be difficult to estimate your losses!"

??Kyle was like a cunning fox at this time, analyzing for Henry II step by step, and seemed to be thinking about him all the time.

?? "In this way, after a few months, I'm afraid you will have no money to build a ship!"

?? "Besides, your creditors may also come to your door. This is not good news!"

??Kyle still said with a smile as always, which seemed to Henry II to be even more hateful.

??Kyle knew that Henry II was willing to see him, so he had plans for peace talks. After all, France had more than one enemy, and there was a behemoth Spain beside him.

??France certainly cannot cope with England and Spain attacking at the same time.

?? Seeing Henry II who was speechless for a while, Kyle continued: "We hope that your country can recognize the fact that Scotland has been incorporated into our country, and will no longer invade our country under the banner of restoring Scotland!"

?? "This is impossible!" As soon as the words fell, Henry II said without hesitation, cleanly and without any delay.

?? "Scotland has always been an independent country, and your methods in England are despicable and shameless!"

?? "Besides, for hundreds of years, we have signed a treaty of alliance after Scotland, and we France have always kept our promises!"

?? Aside, the Duke of Guise came out and said loudly, looking upright.

??Hearing the words of the Duke of Guise, Kyle barely let himself laugh. The reputation of the French is more **** than shit.

??Not to mention Francois's various repudiations after he signed various treaties and was released after he captured Spain.

?? It was the Treaty of Greenwich signed by Henry VIII with the French and the Scots, and the French were shamelessly preparing to marry Queen Mary to France.

?? Completely disregarded the marriage between Edward and Queen Mary as determined in the treaty.

??The insertion of the Duke of Guise, which let Kyle know that he has changed his negotiating partner.

?? Sure enough, Henry II, who had been talking up until now, was sitting in his seat, looking at the two with relish.

?? "However, the "Greenwich Treaty" signed between your country and our country stipulates that Queen Mary will marry His Majesty, but your country wants Queen Mary to marry your prince. Isn't it a violation of the promise!"

?? "Your Excellency's words are wrong! Queen Mary just wanted to visit me in France! You know, I am still the grandfather of Her Majesty the Queen!"

?? Regarding this matter, the Duke of Guise hastily denied it, and even found an excuse brazenly.

??So, between you and me, the two slowly negotiated.
