Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 310 The Imprisoned Mermaid (29)

If the inbreeding index of a child born between a husband and wife without any blood relationship is 0, the inbreeding coefficient of a child born between siblings or between a father and daughter is 0.250.

The result of long-term inbreeding has resulted in Carlos II's inbreeding index reaching as high as 0.254!

His father is his mother's uncle, and his great-grandfather is his great-grandmother's uncle!

Therefore, Carlos II carried many infectious diseases in his genes, and he was plagued by illness throughout his life. He could not speak until he was four years old, and could not walk until he was eight years old. He was very short and weak.

People at that time believed that his physical and mental illnesses were caused by witchcraft and curses.

Because Carlos II suffered from many illnesses, including the loss of fertility, he died at the age of 39 without leaving any heirs. From then on, the Spanish Habsburg dynasty died out in 1700.

It can be said that inbreeding was one of the main reasons for the demise of this dynasty.

The nobles who pursued the ultimate bloodline ultimately received the ultimate punishment from the natural laws of life because of their illusory sense of superiority and ignorant class-based thinking.

...

Putting aside the above historical developments, the king was quite fond of the princess.

Generally, Spanish princesses would marry into Austria, but the current king wants to marry his daughter to his brother.

Maybe on the one hand it was so that the princess could be seen often after she got married, and on the other hand it was also to win over Reg.

Facing Molly's words, Reg's mouth curled up slightly, and he seemed very happy that Molly said this.

"She's not my fiancée, she's just my niece."

"Don't worry, I won't marry her."

Molly scoffed silently.

She had no intention of telling Reg the ultimate fate of their family, and even if she did, Reg alone could not change the established history.

Reg said, "Did you see it this morning? The Castilian Armada can conquer even the oceans."

No wonder Reg is always so arrogant.

Being born in this country, even in such an aristocratic dynasty, and having such a fleet in hand that is invincible on the ocean, one does have the capital to be arrogant.

It’s a pity that the military deployment to Britain that he had just discussed with Perez would cause them heavy losses.

History is definitely not the stage for one person, nor is it the eternal prosperity of a country.

Molly did not feel sorry for Spain's defeat, nor did she cheer for Britain's victory. They were just a group of birds of a feather who had made their fortunes by plundering.

Molly said to Reg, "There's an Eastern proverb: 'Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.' The ocean can make you strong, but it can also make you weak."

Molly's sudden words made Reg pause for a moment, and then he narrowed his eyes in displeasure.

"What are you talking about, little Molly?"

Knowing that it was like talking to a deaf person, Molly stopped talking.

The little mermaid always says strange things.

Reg didn't care. Perhaps the little mermaid had never been to land and didn't know how powerful his country was, so she said such things.

Once he brings her ashore, she will naturally know that he is capable of protecting her.

Reg pulled Molly into his arms, running his fingers through her wet hair.

The heavy weight in his arms made Reg reluctant to let go. At this moment, the pleasure of surviving the disaster surged from the bottom of his heart. The belated relief made Reg want to be entangled with Molly for the rest of his life.

Molly felt his arms tighten around her waist.

Suddenly, Molly felt a chill on her neck. She looked down and saw a smooth silver coin.

Molly recognized at a glance that it was the silver coin that Reg always wore close to his body.

The obverse of the coin features a bust of the Roman emperor, while the reverse depicts a shield and a cross.

"This silver coin will bless the wearer with health and safety."

A deep voice sounded from behind, and the vibration of the chest was transmitted through the spine.

Reg didn't say where the coin came from, and Molly guessed that someone might have given it to him.

Perhaps it was something Reg had worn since he was a child, and it had accompanied him until he grew up, blessing him with a safe voyage.

Faced with Reg's wishful thinking, Molly asked nothing and said nothing.

Reg lifted her long hair and tied the rope into a knot.

Reg had given her a lot of jewelry, and the bottom of the water tank was almost covered with expensive gems and pearls, forming a thick layer like a mattress.

Reg always thought that she was sleeping in a pearl-covered shell at the bottom of the sea.

"Wear it well."

Warm breath sprayed on Molly's ear, followed by a wet kiss.

...

Margaret stood on the deck, and the maid beside her held a small lace umbrella to shield the princess from the glaring sunlight.

"Your Highness, the sun is too strong. Let's go into the cabin and rest for a while."

Margarina squinted her eyes and looked at the big ship in front of her. Her fair little face was red from the heat and a few beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose.

"Why is our ship so far away from Uncle Reg?"

Maid Anna glanced at the boat not far away and replied softly.

"Princess, His Royal Highness has ordered that we can't get too close. If there are big waves, we'll easily collide."

Margarita angrily fanned herself with a feather fan a few times, and the cool breeze blew across her exposed neck, making her feel much cooler.

"Uncle, what's wrong? He's not as nice to me as before." Margarita said, glancing at the maid: "Do you feel it, Anna?"

Anna lowered her head and whispered, "Your Highness, perhaps His Royal Highness is worried about your safety. The ocean is much more dangerous than the palace."

Margarina curled her lips: "You are right."

"Maybe Uncle is so strict because he's too worried. Once we get to the port, he'll understand the benefits of marrying me."

"Father will definitely convince Uncle when he gets back. Even the Pope has agreed, so Uncle will definitely not be able to refuse."

Anna lowered her head and agreed, "You are right, Your Highness. His Highness the Prince is not interested in women, but he is kind to you."

Margarina smiled with satisfaction, then turned around and looked around.

"It's really boring to live on such a small boat for a month."

Margarina looked at the big ship ahead again and stamped her feet: "I haven't even had time to ask my uncle if he encountered a ghost ship!"

Anna said, "I heard General Perez's adjutant say that there are mermaids in the ocean besides ghost ships."

"Mermaid? What's that? Is it the same as a siren?"

"No, it is rumored that mermaids have a tail like a fish and the upper body of a human." Siren is a sea monster with a human face and a bird body.

Margarina became interested: "So strange? Are there really such creatures?"

Anna shook her head. "I don't know. People who often live by the sea might know."

Margarita asked the maid to call the captain.

“Are there really mermaids in the sea?”
