Chapter 309 The Imprisoned Mermaid (28)
"The fleet is out for patrol, not for pleasure."
Reg was too lazy to talk to Magalina anymore and turned to Perez and asked, "Mobilize the princess's fleet and send her back."
The princess traveled with the fleet, and there should have been an independent fleet. If an accident occurred on the way, the fleet would take the princess back.
A month was long enough for the trip, and Perez wanted to get rid of this spoiled princess as soon as possible, otherwise he would have to devote more energy to taking care of this distinguished guest.
Margarita was dissatisfied: "No! Uncle! Why can't I go back with you on your boat?"
She came over and grabbed Reg's arm, her pretty face full of pleading: "I swear to God, I will be good and obedient. Let me take your boat and go with you!"
There is no one to protect her. It is too dangerous for her to go back alone with the guards!
Reg subconsciously didn't want Magalina to board his ship, let alone let her stay on the ship with him for a month.
"No, there's no place for you to sleep on the boat."
Reg refused without a second thought.
Molly is on the boat, and we can't let these outsiders know about the mermaid.
Margarina covered her face with a feather fan to hide her displeased expression.
She felt that Uncle Reg had changed, even though he had always been very nice to her before.
Perez was not surprised. He knew Reg's temper to some extent. He was not a gentleman who would be gentle with ladies.
Not to mention that Reg has never been an easy person to get along with, and even the Vatican can't control him.
Perez didn't want to offend the princess, so he stepped aside and ordered his men to move down the supplies that had been prepared in advance and to dispatch the fleet brought by the princess.
Margarina was still trying to get back on track, but Reg couldn't stand it any longer: "If you want to stay on my ship, then sleep in the same cabin with those sailors!"
Margaret was silent.
The princess then returned to the main ship with her maid to pack up the things she had brought.
Reg and Perez discussed military and political matters.
"Your Majesty does have the idea of waging war against England and is discussing this matter with his ministers."
"Someone suggested joining forces with the Dutch navy to launch an attack from land and sea, and then switch to land to destroy England."
Reg sneered after hearing this: "Union with the Netherlands? The Netherlands itself is in chaos. Thinking of fighting on both land and sea fronts is simply a fantasy."
"England is not something that can be conquered in one fell swoop. This matter requires long-term planning."
Perez was unconcerned: "The King of the Netherlands has written to Your Majesty, promising to support our military activities. Moreover, we have the Invincible Armada."
"The caramel moment is coming soon. Your Highness, please rest assured that we will win."
After a brief conversation, Perez said to Reg, "Your Highness, the princess's fleet should accompany you."
"Although the Princess Fleet's captain is familiar with the return route, he's afraid we'll still encounter danger along the way. It will be safer with you."
"And the supplies His Majesty the Emperor has prepared for the princess are abundant, enough for you and the princess to make it to the port."
Perez's advice was very pertinent. Although Reg disliked Magalina, he had to accept the advice for the safety of the imperial princess.
Soon, the people arranged by Perez prepared everything, and the fleet carrying the princess was separated and turned around to follow Reg's ship.
Magalina was arranged to board her fleet from the main ship.
Perez saluted Reg and returned to the main ship with his adjutant.
As the horn sounded, the fleet's mainsails were spread out, and after a brief pause, it set sail again.
Reg stood on the deck and watched the fleet leave.
Mark stood behind Reg and said, "Sir, the replenished water is enough to last until the end of our voyage."
"Well, set sail and return!"
...
When Reg returned to the bedroom, Molly was lying by the water tank reading a book.
The moment she saw the Invincible Armada coming, Molly knew that Reg probably wouldn't die.
Seeing the legendary Invincible Armada for the first time, Molly observed it for a long time with a telescope. Looking at the unparalleled scale and momentum, she realized that Spain's reputation as the overlord of the sea was well-deserved.
It’s a pity that the supreme commander named Perez was not visible from this angle.
When Reg came in, he had already taken a shower and shaved. He looked fresh and clean, and he smelled of mint.
After being moisturized by water, my complexion has improved a lot.
Reg leaned over and placed a wet kiss on Molly's lips without saying anything. He stuck out the tip of his tongue and pressed it against Molly's lower lip, nibbling it tirelessly.
The sticky and tangled kiss left Molly a little confused.
This kind of affectionate atmosphere is not the atmosphere that should exist between the two of them.
Reg's kiss became more and more eager, as if he would not stop until all the air in Molly's mouth was taken away.
Molly didn't understand his suddenness, only Reg knew.
He was thankful that he was not dead.
He reached out his long arms and held Molly against his chest. Molly's tail had just left the tank and had not yet turned into legs, and her tail fin slapped his legs.
"Why are you crazy?"
Reg began kissing her neck.
Molly covered his mouth: "Don't be in heat, your fiancée is still behind."
Molly wasn't surprised that he would be granted marriage to her niece.
After all, the Habsburg dynasty was a notoriously incestuous family.
...
The Habsburg dynasty was a very prominent family in Europe, and most of the European territories belonged to this family.
In the 16th century the Habsburg dynasty was divided into two main branches, one Austrian and one Spanish.
At this time, Spain had become the empire on which the sun never sets. They attached great importance to their blue royal blood, believing that the whiter the skin, the more clearly the blue veins could be seen, which could distinguish them from the dark-skinned inferiors.
In order to ensure the purity of the royal bloodline, to concentrate power, and for the family's supreme glory and status, they married within the family.
At the time, their motto was: "Let others make wars, and you, happy Austrians, get married!", which praised the close relatives of the family.
Everyone in modern times knows the dangers of consanguineous marriage, but people in this era are not aware of it.
In the royal family, it was common for uncles to marry their nieces, uncles to marry their nieces, and cousins to marry their cousins. Later on, it even developed into two close relatives marrying each other and having children.
Because of inbreeding, everyone in this family has a very obvious characteristic, which is mandibular protrusion, a very long chin, and a shoe-horn face.
Although Reg is also a member of this family, his biological mother is from a remote small country, and his father is not a product of close relatives, so he does not have such characteristics in his appearance.
The sister of Charles II, the last monarch of the Habsburg dynasty, is also the protagonist of one of the world's famous oil paintings, "Las Meninas".
