"I didn't expect that Your Excellency the Governor would still have the interest to come here in person at this time. It seems that the government affairs here have not entangled you to the point where you can't move." Looking at Samson who suddenly appeared, Adele spoke with interest. The meaning of her words was very simple. She was asking why Samson came here instead of dealing with the assassination attempt against him and putting pressure on his political enemies?
"Heh... In those matters, I am temporarily in an active position, but this action is only on the surface... In the entire Farajo political arena, my disadvantaged position has not changed. I can't push them too hard just because I have a little power, which will accelerate their next action against me. Now I slowly use this power to slowly entangle with them and make more allies. This is the right way... There is no need to rush this, and I also have enough time to pay attention to some other things."
After listening to Adele's words, Samson looked relieved and responded. Then he shook the ashes from his cigar in the ashtray and watched Adele continue speaking.
"I heard that after you were given the item files, you quickly picked out the items you liked. I'm very curious about what item could have caught the eye of the Heavenly Judge Cult and been ignored by us for a hundred years... I didn't expect it to be this..."
"From what you said, do you know what this thing is? Do you know where the crystal on it went?" Adele, who was holding the gold inlay in her hand, asked Samsong after listening to his words, and Samsong immediately answered.
"Yes... Due to some well-known reasons, I have done a lot of research on the history of Bourbon, and there are some clues about the item in your hand."
"What is it? Could it be related to Charles again?" Adele asked after listening to Samson's words, and the other party immediately recalled and spoke.
"You're right. It's related to those costumed kings. According to the records in Volume 14 of Bourbon's Court History, when the costumed king was 47 years old, in order to celebrate the defeat of Pritt and Ivig in the Northern Ukraine Colonial War and the establishment of Farraro's leadership in Northern Ukraine, he held a grand celebration in Flotz to highlight his victory. This victory celebration included an exhibition that exhibited a large number of spoils captured from the enemy and treasures harvested from Northern Ukraine.
"At the exhibition held during the victory celebration, Charles personally visited the exhibition and personally awarded the treasures at the exhibition to important ministers and domestic leaders during the war. This so-called... 'Crystal-Inlaid Gold Carved Triangular Pyramid' was named 'Victory Glory' and participated in the exhibition at that time."
Samson spoke slowly, and Adele listened to his words while guessing the answer.
"So, those crystals were given away by Ciel? Then why is this golden body still here?"
"No, that's not the case. Charles did not give this thing away as a reward, although many ministers and nobles took a fancy to this beautifully crafted collection made of gold and crystal and begged for a reward. But Charles did not give it to anyone because he loved the queen deeply. Maria took a fancy to it... To be precise, she took a fancy to the crystal on it.
"Queen Maria loved beauty and all kinds of jewelry. While collecting all kinds of exquisite jewelry to enrich her jewelry box, she was also a professional jewelry connoisseur. It is said that she was deeply fascinated by the crystal crown on the victory flag when she first saw it at the victory celebration.
"Maria thought that the crystals on the Victory Glory were pure and clear, and were the best crystals she had ever seen in her life. So she asked her husband, the queen, to give her the crystals, and she would use them to make a beautiful piece of jewelry. Charles would not refuse the request of his beloved queen, and immediately took the four crystals from the golden base and gave them to Maria."
Samson slowly told Adele what he knew about the history of Farajo. After listening to his story, Adele frowned and spoke.
"Wait, she just wanted the crystal, not the base?"
"Yes, according to the history books, Marita thought that compared with the nobility of the crystal, the gold on which they were inlaid was of good quality, but the patterns on it looked too dense and regular, without aesthetic appeal, and the eyes in the middle were a little scary, so she didn't like it. Maria wanted only the crystal, not the base."
Samson explained this, and Dorothy couldn't help but complain in her heart that the queen didn't understand at all.
In Dorothy's opinion, the carvings on the golden base are meaningful, and the regular and dense lines contain a kind of pleasing geometric and mathematical beauty. If we have to make an analogy, Dorothy sees it just like a programmer seeing a program that is strictly coded according to the rules, with no missing comments and runs perfectly without any bugs. It's like an engineer seeing a perfectly routed computer room with a lot of lines but not messy at all. It is refreshing and full of beauty.
"I can only say that this woman doesn't understand..." Dorothy complained in her heart, and then continued to observe the situation on Adele's side. Adele took a look at the pattern on the golden base and said leisurely.
"The pattern on it really doesn't look very pretty... It's very hard and not soft at all. No wonder the queen didn't want it at all... So did he manage to make those crystals into jewelry?"
"It's done. After being crafted by famous court craftsmen, the four crystals were made into a necklace called 'Maria's Glory'. When Queen Maria wore it to attend events, she repeatedly amazed the audience with its shining brilliance. This necklace has also become one of the most famous treasures of the Bourbon royal family in the secular world. It can be said to represent Queen Maria." Samson said this, and Adele continued to ask with a serious expression.
"So... where did this necklace go? I remember Maria died in a shipwreck with Charles. Could it be that the necklace was fed to the fish?"
“No, when the Nocdorn shipwreck occurred, Queen Maria did not wear the necklace she cherished when traveling, but left it in the Palace of Beauty. After Charles and Maria died, their son Robert, the first heir to the throne of Farajo, succeeded to the throne. He was later the Greedy King. Maria’s life was also inherited by Robert at this time.
"I don't think I need to tell you much about the story of the greedy king. At the end of his reign, the Frost Moon Revolution broke out, and the Bourbon wealth was looted..." Samson said with a stern expression. After listening to his words, Adele couldn't help but frowned and said.
"That necklace, wasn't it lost during the looting during the Hanyue Revolution?"
"No, it wasn't lost, it was stolen! Maria's light was stolen by a despicable thief before the great looting of the Cold Moon Revolution!" As he said this, Samson's tone showed obvious anger. He pinched the cigar in his hand, causing sparks and ashes to fly everywhere.
