Portrait of Queen Berta: I accidentally got pregnant with His Majesty’s child
[12] Sister's husband
Leandro didn't like her for a long time.
The only thing that seems quiet is appearance, which has long been so arrogant that the surroundings naturally follow their own example.
Berta was born different from the other siblings.
My sister, who was always treated differently under her mother, the First Lady, grew up in the best education and luxury of life.
I think even Kasha's absolute master, Father, has been broken against his sister for a long time.
My father sees how calm and gentle he is to the children of his many concubines, but not to his sister or his illegitimate son, Crete.
However, Berta behaves unconsciously even when she is raised with free love from her father.
She grew up with her father's bad mouth out loud, something no other brother could ever say.
... Kasha is a home for the legitimate children of the main family.
My father tailored the air of the clan that way and touched Berta without turning against it.
Leandro was quite surprised when he heard that Berta would marry the King as Second Lady.
It was hard to believe that my sweet father would soon prepare such a story for Berta.
Do you grow up like a queen with butterflies and flowers in your family and let go of your hands if you need them?I thought it would be impossible for Berta to marry someone who would lay a bunch of oracios on her ass.
It would be funny if that woman played the "Queen", who, even though she was the King, stood three steps back behind her husband.
To be honest, Leandro wondered what Berta meant until he came to King's Landing this time.
Berta tries to overcome her political battle with her first wife, giving birth to her heiress and practically holding the throne of the royal mistress.
- With what intent did she summon the Kasha people to King's Landing?
Based on the exchange of letters, Berta appeared to be actively pushing Kasha into the centre.At present, it is difficult even to act as a liaison with Kasha, so for the time being, I want to be alone and wait and see.
But through her intentions, how far does she want to take Kasha in a huge unidentified council called Central Politics?
There were too many things to know without meeting and speaking in person, and Leandro visited the King's Capital with the ultimate aim of confronting Belta, who was now queen.
... but...
Between the thrones, Leandro saw Berta and the King sitting side by side.
Even at that moment, I was intrigued by Berta's expression looking up at the King sitting beside me.
My sisters, whom I haven't seen in a long time, sometimes last saw each other in their midteens, and I had the impression that they had eaten ten years old.
I think her face resembles her mother, and there are some places in the middle that are slightly stained.Nevertheless, in terms of appearance, there was no particularly surprising change.
The problem was the expression.
(What is that face?)
Leandro excelled in his ability to sense tactfulness and sensitivity when it comes to gender relations.
So my sister, who has not been reunited in less than a decade, thinks of the king - even assuming that the monarch of a country is entirely his own man.
(Should Belta say that...?)
To be honest, I have a face like that of my real sister.
Besides, he looks boring.
A man with a serious face and no pleasure or pleasure in life, carrying the ghost of royal dark history.
I'm so fucking bored, but let's do it.Sure, only the face was good.
However, because of Berta's condition, Leandro is completely freaked out.What are you doing, finding a place in the royal palace and living on the ground?
The King, the man who would otherwise be the country's main ally, must be the one to measure distance from the south with constant vigilance.
Nevertheless, because of Berta, Leandro had the impression that he was the "husband of that sister" first.
His Majesty the King summoned Leandro from the day of his first encounter.
"Leandro de Lila Casha."
He sat on his chair in a moderately shattered manner, showing that it was a private venue rather than a public summoning.
Leandro also sat down in the opposite seat with his recommendation.Even though it was around the king, there weren't so many people in the room.
"When it comes to the queen, these nobles called her Berta Casha from the beginning.Was she using her last name a little longer when she was in the South? "
His words were in the form of public stories, and it was also like asking what he was actually a little concerned about.
Asked questions, Leandro replied as she waited.
"No, Bee... even in the south, Her Royal Highness was simply called by first name and Kasha surname.My family name is long because it is customary for a child born from a wife other than the First Lady to bear the mother's family name. "
"Oh, I see. So, the short name in the south means that that's the only way to show the owner of the house, or the legacy."
When you are sitting face to face in this way, you naturally have eyes all over your face.
Although I know from the previous information that he is the king in the middle of thirty years, he is a young man who would not have thought so if he did not know.What do you eat and live for?
Leandro also noticed that she was the king's cousin.She must have been an extraordinary beauty.
It seems unfortunate that there is no way to get a glimpse of the main queen who lost her legs and was confined, and there is no way to satisfy her curiosity.
"Thank you. In modern times, only Her Royal Highness, her father Valerio and her brother Cletto simply bear the Casha surname."
"Crete Kasha. I went to the south last year, and I met that boy.He's such a cute little brother. "
"I'm sorry."
"Still, it's a pretty unfamiliar custom in the middle."
He won't be free enough to call Leandro just to talk about this kind of public affairs.
"But in the south, it seems that the culture of polygamy has permeated long enough for these customs to flourish.... I heard that you have several wives in the south, in addition to Jimeno's daughter today. "
Nevertheless, His Majesty suddenly stepped into the content of the conversation, beyond our expectations.
"Thank you so much."
"One of them is the daughter left behind by the Otto family."
Neither his beautiful face nor his breathtaking blue eyes staring at Leandro made him read a single emotion.
"Yes"
"Many of the small lords who flew to the south with the seal turned out to be married one after the other to leading southern houses.The southern guardians, who are not aristocrats, don't need royal approval to get married. "
His Majesty's tone was still calm, and without giving Leandro a chance to turn his head, the subject suddenly flew into a broad political one.
"By incorporating these small areas, the next generation of conservative nobles will already be part of the southern bloodline.--I don't care about southern customs, but is it okay to understand that Otto's possession has already fallen substantially into Kasha's sphere of influence through his marriage to you? "
Before leaving Messeta, I would like to recall that my father advised me of the purpose of "a man who cannot eat instead of a hereditary monarch" regarding his impression of His Majesty.
But, hey.
I've never heard of a guy like that coming from the beginning.
"... I'm afraid your Majesty is mistaken."
Leandro breathed once and said clearly.
"Rather than Kasha actively pushing Otto into the sphere of influence, the Otto family had no men, and only women and children were in distress.As for Kasha, it is more accurate to say that he took over and replaced the role of taking care of the territory and the people by marriage, seeing such a proximate territory become visibly devastated. "
There is no great flavor when the skinny collar is now incorporated into the interior of the casha.
Kasha had more work to do and more to take out than to benefit from it.
"This is just a charity.The leading southern houses just wiped out the houses that the middle flew to the south and ended up like trouble. "
It is inappropriate to use rhetoric as if it were a convenient way to collect healthy territory.
"In fact, the nominal lord of House Otto is no different from Joel, Sarah's brother."
"Joel? Oh."
For a moment, His Majesty looked like she remembered something in Joel's name.I have heard that Sarah's twin brothers were formerly His Majesty's chamberlains, and of course they know each other.
"If Joel were to be pardoned and released in the future, I would naturally, as Kasha, return the Son of Otto to the Son of the House."
"You call it a self-cleaning action in the south."
"Yes, my marriage to Sarah will only help the Otto family."
His Majesty had a clear sense of the boundary between the southern reality and Leandro's convenience.
"Aid. Well, then, in the context of those southern forms of government, it's just a matter of spontaneous choice for the little lords to keep standing under the Kasha wind."
And his perception was largely emotional.
In reality, even where we are back, Otto will not be separated from the process of localization by marriage.I hope that all the residents will enter Kasha's shelter, rather than the left-over lord.
But Leandro even bounced back with a smile.
Because I thought it was over if I wanted to buy my mind back.
"--If you wanted to keep your mouth shut for such self-cleansing, Your Majesty should not have flown the houses lost to the south in the first place."
