Charles V 1 Volume 2 Margaret

It was wet and cold, and it rained for many days.

Margaret hasn't seen good weather since Salamanca returned to Ghent. In this weather, the only thing that makes people happy is to be a godmother of a child.

When Felipe and Juana brought the child here the other day, Margaret managed to smile and politely let people feel that she had readily agreed to be Charlie's godmother, and a baptism and naming ceremony would be held in the main church two days later.

In fact, when Margaret saw Charlie, she thought of her child who died at birth. Although all the newborn children look alike, they can still see that this child is more like Castilla than Austrian. But for a child who has never lived, where is the importance of being a man?

Margaret could see that her energetic brother sometimes avoided Juana. Sometimes she really wants to teach Juana how to tie a man to a bed. But what's the use? People will say that it was her skill in bed that caused Juan to die of excessive sexual life after half a year of marriage, which also caused their children to die before birth.

It's been almost three years.

Margaret breathed a sigh of relief and recalled the year when Juana came to Ghent, when she was only one year old. Seeing that Felipe couldn't wait to hold the delicate Juana in the curtain, Margaret imagined that Juana's brother would soon be able to hold himself in the account like Felipe.

Margaret hopes to find traces of her future husband's imagination in Juana. In contact with Juana, Margaret will keep asking Juana what she really likes, what she looks like and what kind of person she is. ...

Everything seems to have happened yesterday. During these few days of her marriage, she couldn't help having sex with Juan. Juan's handsome appearance and gentleness in bed made Margaret feel like heaven. She also likes to associate with men and women as Juana did when she first came to Ghent.

Juan has been dead for several years, and Margaret can't stop thinking about him. But everything can only be imagined. She will never get Juan's touch and kiss again. Juan went to see God. But I don't know if I can be as happy with my father as I am with her. Margaret asks every time she prays.

During the half-year living with Juan, Margaret forgot all the humiliation she suffered in the French court, and even thought it was a gift from God, which made her get Juan after experiencing and enduring those hardships. Why did God take Juan and their children away from her again? Margaret never understood what great plans and arrangements God had for her.

Maybe let her take care of Charlie! So God sent her back to Ghent and sent Charlie to her.

Thought of here, Margaret's mood relaxed a little. God took away Princess Isabella, Juana's sister, and Prince Juan, her brother. It was destined that this Charlie would inherit their inheritance and let the Habsburg family manage Aragon and Castilla.

"Maybe it's God's arrangement that I should be Charlie's godmother." Margaret couldn't help blurting out this sentence.

"Of course, God arranged for you to be the godmother of Prince Charles!" The maid next to her reminded Margaret that someone was still listening.

Margaret came to her senses. "Go and arrange it. I want to see Charlie. "

Margaret regained her spirits after the maid left. This is the first time that Juan has seen the sunshine since she died three years ago, although it is still raining outside.

After the maids helped her get dressed and put on makeup, they went to Duke Brabant's maid and just got back. "Tell your wife that Duke Philip is out hunting, but the Duchess is looking forward to seeing you."

Before Margaret entered the duchess's bedroom, she smelled a smell of baby milk. The fire in the Duke's house is very strong, and she doesn't feel cold at all. Seeing Juana sitting by the window with her baby in her arms, Margaret smiled and asked in Castilian, "I don't know where to catch prey in such a heavy rain?"

Hearing the familiar hometown language and Margaret's voice, Juana rushed to meet her with her child in her arms and asked Margaret in Castilian, "Dear Margaret, I think it's raining so hard, too. Why are you going hunting?" Philip, is he crazy or fooling around outside? Please tell me? "

Margaret kissed Juana's forehead and then kissed Charlie in Juana's arms. "Juana, men have their own hobbies, and their energy is always inexhaustible. You can't expect them to spend all their money on your bed. "

Margaret spoke easily, obviously joking, but it suddenly made Juana fidgety. "Do you think he went out to cheat? Did he betray me? " ! "

Margaret took Charlie from Juana and didn't take Juana's words. Then Charlie opened his eyes, woke up and smiled at Margaret. This amused Margaret. "Look, he smiled! Juana, I can assure you that when he grows up, he will be a lover like my brother! "

Juana still fidgeted and refused to listen to Margaret. "Do you think he is in love with someone else, too?"

Margaret knew that her joke made Juana even more uneasy, so she looked at Juana and comforted her and said, "Juana, your brother and I are together every day, and we don't want to leave each other for a moment." We spend most of our time in bed. But it may have hurt him. It was my possessiveness and his infatuation with me that made God take them back so that we could not be together for a long time. "

Margaret was surprised to say such a thing. After all, before she came to visit Juana, she also sat at the window like Juana, staring blankly at her and Juan's past life, letting the pain and regret gradually devour her. Now, she can say such things to Juana.

Juana gradually calmed down, looked Margaret in the eye and asked imploringly, "Do you think my love will hurt Felipe?"

Margaret knows Juana too well, too well that infatuation with someone can make people crazy and unreasonable, and even become a burden to the loved one. Unlike Juana, she knows when to refrain from loving Juan, not physically.

"Juana, you will hurt yourself. Love will drive you crazy. " Margaret teased Charlie and said, "You should pay more attention to Charlie and Eleanor now?"

"I don't have time to care about Eleanor and Charlie, they are my heirs to Felipe! He should pay more attention to me. " Juana went to Margaret and watched Charlie laugh at Margaret.

Margaret didn't look at Juana, just playing with Charlie, and Juana stopped talking.

After a while, Margaret put Charlie down, walked up to Juana, put her arm around her and said, "I shouldn't get married again." When Charlie grows up, I will take care of him for you. " Treat me like my own child! Juana, if you care more about your children, you will alleviate your obsession and illusion about Felipe. "

"I don't want to distract myself. I just want Felipe's love for me. I want to be infatuated with him, only with him! This is not a delusion! " Juana shook off Margaret's hand and went out angrily.

Margaret looked at the sleeping Charlie again, with a sweet comfort in her heart.
