Chapter 12 :
''Royals news''
Muldinia opened his doors to Ambassador Reddington and his assistant Preminger. During one year the land offered them asylum and prosperity, as promised him the law which governed it.
Preminger was amazed .. There low, they were welcomed as Kings.
He went everywhere: discovered the magnificences of castles, lust of palaces, style of the private toilets, the sophisticated manners and the grace of the words.
Certainly, Muldinia wasn't the equivalent of the kingdom of King Ludwig but nevertheless, few mattered. It was an earth infinitely hotter, with long areas of deserts that Preminger refused to visit. Good thing the palace where it stayed remained of an average and pleasant temperature, because he didn't support the too excessive heat.
It was not rare to see him fanning itself regularly or applying a wet handkerchief to the forehead, by sighing of ease under the freshness of the water on the forehead. Quite dramatically. He had even finished to invest in a range. The climate was so different from mountains of his magnificent native country...
Ambassador Reddington had very fast adapted on the contrary. He spent the day outside, told never not an excursion, an enthusiast that it was necessary to discover the marvels of Muldinia. Days passed without him.
What is there arranged the business of Preminger, the ambassador not being there, it was not rare that we requested then his opinion on political affairs.
By this way, he awakened gradually his evil spirit to find interesting compromises and weaved of new relations. It was not from now on rare to see consulting on the diplomatic business between both countries, and each of its advice were listened to.
- ''My dear Preminger, here is a piece of news which goes I think of delighting you'', announced him a day Reddington by scampering of its short legs towards him.
- ''Don't summits me to languish, my dear, what is such?''
- ''Our Glorious Majesty King got married to Princess Genevieve of the nearby kingdom...''
Preminger pouted. Wouldn't he have been justifiable that the ambassadors and their assistants attend the royal marriage? He would have made big impression in the procession, he was persuaded... Even the new queen would have noticed him...
- ''Why this choice? Hadn't he met an unknown dancer of whom he did n't stop, did you tell, to ask? " One latecomer in the eyes of a blue purer than the sky ", " the spirit personified and of an incomparable grace ", is not it his exact words?''
- ''Ah yes, the young dancer! But it is exactly about her, Preminger. When His Majesty the King met her, she danced for one of her distant cousins certainly, but this one was other than duchess Elizabeth... Our good Ludwig was subjugated... Then he tried to see again her... And here is how is born love.
For simple answer to the ambassador he had beaten hands, to conceal his disappointment under airs of enjoyment.
- ''What do you think of this marriage my dear Preminger?'' One of the high councillors of Muldinia asked him more late, who appreciated his notices during the diplomatic consultations.
- ''I think that on a political level, this marriage is of the most disastrous although I approve in every respect my liking good sovereign to draw his choices on the only basis of his noblest feelings.''
He liked this sentence was not at least subtle? Reddington stirred ill-at-ease but the Councillor listened to him by shaking the head:
- ''when you say politically, you imply alliance isn't it?''
Preminger squinted obsequiously.
- ''Alliance and economy, very expensively. We know all that the alliance made between the country of Princess Genevieve and our King exists for centuries and that it is not to be any more strengthened. The marriage is thus on this useless point... But this wedding becomes absurd there economically especially when we know that Princess Genevieve isn't the heiress of his Father... And still she would have only an elder son but we speak 6 sisters...''
And what sisters! These imposed upon the memory of Preminger and he shook the head disparagingly.
- ''You speak wisely, Preminger... He is it's a pity that King didn't think of our muldinienne Princess... Certainly this one is not either a heiress but our links are so difficult as a marriage would have simplified everything.''
Preminger already came out in favour the head hypocritically.
- ''Besides to win a beautiful and intelligent wife, my great sovereign would have won an allied and prosperous kingdom. As well as your services, sir Councillor...''
- ''Exactly! That be you not councillor, dear Preminger. A day maybe... Certainly.''
Preminger smiled already arrogantly, when Reddington chooses this moment to intervene by mopping the forehead. Strangely, if the sun of this country was not capable of tearing away to him the slightest sweat, the diplomatic council they on the other hand could.
- ''Certainly Misters... Beautiful speech on the power, the importance of the political relations but you forget the romantic aspect of the word marriage. Essential aspect.''
- ''Didn't I evoke it?'' Answered Preminger by raising an eyebrow ...
He allowed to speak to Reddington on the tone of an equal, because he considered him as such and because the latter encouraged him to express himself according to his thought.
- ''You said it so as to hide him easily ... Yet our good King Ludwig is so made: love gives rhythm to his choices and it is praiseworthy. And we say that Queen Genevieve is the wisest young woman and the most beautiful woman of the kingdom. To the point that she would return the color of the flowers of alohac.''
Reddington smiles to the joke: the alohac was a plant of Muldinia capable of clearing the linen, the wigs ...
" But nevertheless, who would have dared to claim the opposite? " think Preminger with mockery. The Queens were always in their country praised as the most beautiful.
- ''Beautiful, she is, certainly. Have not you ever seen her previously, Preminger?'' Had questioned the muldinian councillor shortly after ambassador Reddington has of to go out for an important affair.
- ''NO, I have never had there the opportunity... I only saw her sisters who were charming, it is necessary to agree on it. It is moreover the only quality which I can grant them...'' he had allowed himself with irony.
The Councellor had scrutinized him with intensity.
- ''You don't appreciate this marriage, right?''
-''It's bad? I would say that it is rather about common sense. But it says perhaps we should to rent "Queen Genevieve" for her ingenuity. To become a queen, her the rank of which intended her at the very most to become the wife of a duke, which success...''
His interlocutor had smiles with complicity.
- ''Would you dare to doubt of the love in this marriage?''
Preminger had allowed himself a snigger.
- ''Love is always there, when the power and the gold are the reward. And which marriage, which honor for a country such as his that to unite with ours ... Very expensively, consider I horribly disillusioned, but I think that the greed is the only thing which motivates our new queen. The idea to possess a Crown ... Who would refuse? Who can refuse?''
- ''You are right. The arrogance and the ambition are wounds, pleases king that men as you and me know how to move away from it to think of the common good.'' The councillor had come out in favour.
And Preminger had smiles.
The mission lasted longer that planned, for a long time so that the letters of the kingdom depicts them important events crossed in their absence... There were tensions with the kingdom of Raguse, a young viscountess had married the current Councillor of King, the market of the gold mine was of the most prosperous, a light epidemic had pursued a part of the kingdom, Queen Genevieve was expecting a baby...
Preminger when to him piled up the gold. He had taken part in some embezzlements to grow rich and forces was to notice that it smiled to him. The gold made him miserly nevertheless more he obtained it more he pinched lips at the idea of spending it...
Although in a totally contradictory way, he didn't resist at the idea of buying clothes and fineries from colossal sums in the only purpose to embellish or rather to reveal his beauty. When it was about his own comfort and especially about his own person, his spirit had no limit... And the gold was a very essential way.
Assistant of ambassador was of no use.. Once this ended mission, it had absolutely to obtain a more prestigious post.
- ''It is a girl, my dear!'' Announced cheerfully Reddington one morning.
Preminger winked, perplexed..
- ''The royal child was born... It's a Princess. The rumor says that she was born with a born task on one of the shoulders in the shape of crown! Do you believe that ? She is born for be the greastest queen of our kingdom !''
-''... oh!...''
And hanging for a brief moment Preminger didn't know what to formulate of other one. To tell the truth, be if far from the palace had almost made lose interest him in the affairs of king, seen that these didn't concern him personally. The happiness so rented for king and for queen doesn't interested him hardly... He preferred by far the politics, the little schemes and the gold.
But however, the piece of news deserved a reaction also, he started again:
-" Which happy news, charming... really " by beating hands, ''glory to our illustrious princess... How is she named?''
-''Anneliese. Isn't it charming? Come toast the Princess.''
And without leaving the time to him, to make the slightest movement, Reddington went to one of the lounges of the apartments which they occupied. Preminger followed him pensive...
Although he never showed any interest for childrens and even less for the royal couple, this piece of news didn't leave unmoved him. First of all, doubtless that to urge the kingdom to celebrate the birth of the heiress, the king would increase the salary of everything to each in a exceptional way... And the gold was a thing which we never possessed enough.
And.. Anneliese was certainly an attractive name...
