King of German Mercenaries

While Marin was training and caught on Texel Island, another thing that Marin liked happened in Paris, France...

At the Louvre in Paris, Charles VIII, who was only 28 years old, was lying on the hospital bed with a haggard face, his face full of ashes...

Originally, Charles VIII was in good health and was still making plans to invade Italy for the second time. After several years of recuperation, France's national strength has recovered easily.

Unfortunately, on March 24th (four days later than the original history), Anne gave birth to a baby boy...

Originally, Annie was supposed to give birth to a baby girl named Annie. However, it was probably the appearance of Marin that triggered the butterfly effect, and Annie gave birth to a boy later...

Charles VIII laughed and named the child Henry. Unfortunately, Henry, who was born in the morning, died in the evening...

Charles VIII was like a thunderclap, and he fainted in an instant. After waking up, Charles VIII's spirit also collapsed.

The child who died that day was already his seventh child. None of his seven children survived. The child who lived the longest was his eldest child, Charlie Orlando, who lived to be two and a half years old...

The children after that did not live long. After Henry of France died, Charles, who believed in God, felt that he had been abandoned by God.

From that day on, Charles VIII seemed to have lost interest in dealing with government affairs, and hid in front of the statues in the palace all day to pray and make atonement.

Charles VIII is the only male in the direct line of the Valois dynasty. If he does not leave any heirs, then the demise of the Valois dynasty is basically a foregone conclusion.

Therefore, Charles VIII is now full of fear about his childless situation. He thought that his own invasion of Italy had offended God. Because, he once bullied Pope Alexander VI...

Unfortunate encounters, coupled with wild thoughts, finally overwhelmed the shrewd king. Charles VIII finally fell ill...

But to make matters worse for him, his queen, Anne, didn't visit him when he fell ill, making him even more lonely and afraid.

In fact, the relationship between Charles VIII and Queen Anne was very ordinary. Because, at the time, Anne was almost forcibly captured by Charles VIII. Before that, Anne had completed the wedding ceremony with Maximilian I through "surrogate marriage". But Charles VIII intervened, forcibly kidnapped Anne, and forcibly married her. Therefore, Anne has never had a good impression of Charles VIII. Of course, it's not that Queen Anne was obsessed with the old man Maximilian I. Rather, Anne of Brittany felt that Charles VIII was a robber who forcibly plundered herself, which was a great disrespect to herself.

After Charles VIII and Anne got married, he did not pay attention to coaxing little Anne, who was only 15 years old at the time, but directly raped her, which caused a great psychological shadow on Anne...

After that, when Charles VIII's eldest son, Charlie Orlando, died, Charles VIII did not comfort his wife, but forcibly asked for an exchange, asking for another heir...

It can be said that Charles VIII never cared what Queen Anne thought. He only thought that he wanted an heir...

And Charles VIII disregarded the consequences of Queen Anne's physical and mental problems, that is, the next few children of Charles VIII died.

Marlin actually knew about this. In fact, Queen Anne is because her body has not been well conditioned, coupled with mental trauma, it is strange that the child can be healthy. If Charles VIII had taken good care of Queen Anne's body and mind, it would not have caused the queen to die after giving birth to a few children.

In fact, Queen Anne's body has been greatly damaged by several unscientific continuous births. If Charles VIII suspends this savage and unscientific fertility request and regulates Queen Anne,

There is also a chance of giving birth to healthy offspring. It is a pity that Charles VIII only wanted heirs and did not care about Queen Anne's physical condition. Therefore, none of the seven children survived.

After the death of Charles VIII, Anne remarried to the new King Louis XII, because there was a gap of several months for Queen Anne to nurse her body. When Queen Anne remarried Louis XII in 1499, she finally gave birth to a child who did not die, Claudia of France (Queen of François I). Of course, because of Queen Anne's poor health, Princess Claudia didn't live too long and died before she was 25 years old.

Because of the death of his youngest son Henry, Charles VIII suffered a very serious mental blow, which has caused him to seriously doubt his life. At this time, because of her previous rudeness and assertiveness, Queen Anne ignored her even though she was seriously ill.

In fact, Queen Anne herself was very sad, and she was in no mood to pay attention to the unfortunate child of Charles VIII...

As a result, Charles VIII, who was only 28 years old, was getting worse and worse...

Although, Charles VIII did not die on April 7 as in the original history. However, because of a nervous breakdown, Charles VIII did not last long.

Finally, on June 20, 1498, Charles VIII died in the Louvre...

On Marin's side, there is no news for the time being. In fact, as early as March, Marin had sent secret agents to Paris to inquire about Charles VIII.

In April, there was no news from Paris that Charles VIII had died. As for the serious illness of Charles VIII, this kind of news must be blocked by the French government and opposition.

So, at first, Marin thought that because of his butterfly effect, Charles VIII did not die. Unexpectedly, it just delayed the date of Charles VIII's death by more than two months...

When the news of Charles VIII's death came from Paris in July, Marin finally laughed...

As for why he laughed, it was actually quite simple. Because of offending and killing Charles VIII, Marin has been worried that Charles VIII will secretly retaliate against him.

But now that Charles VIII is dead, is France still in the mood to take revenge on him?

Louis XII, who succeeded him next, not only would not hate him, but he might secretly appreciate him. Because, without Marin's blow, maybe Charles VIII would not have died. Of course, Louis XII did not know that without Marin, Charles VIII would have died, and he would have died more than two months earlier...

Once Charles VIII died, the French had no reason to live with Marin. Although the French aristocrats who were defeated or captured alive by Marin may be hostile to Marin, they are the masters of France and cannot make France continue to hate Marin. And the next controller of France is Louis XII. After coming to power, he will definitely purge the powerful ministers of Charles VIII and arrange for his confidants. At that time, it is even more impossible for France to remember to send someone to kill itself...

So, after hearing the news of Charles VIII's death, Marin felt as if the three mountains on his mind had collapsed, and he felt extremely relaxed...
