Chapter 167 King George I Seeks Help From a Witch
"King George I?"
"What happened to you?"
Looking at King George I who suddenly fainted in the carriage, they were bewildered.
They couldn't understand why King George fainted the next moment when he was fine the moment before.
Could it be that the prophecy was true?
Or, did that evil witch do something?
Thinking of this, a middle-aged man with two small mustaches immediately shouted to Bishop York, "Bishop, come and see if your Majesty has been cursed!"
Under the gaze of everyone, Bishop York nodded seriously, and surrounded King George I with several priests, and took out various exorcism items.
The cross, holy water, etc. were placed on King George I.
For a long while, nothing happened.
Bishop York almost had an answer, frowning and saying, "Your Majesty has not been cursed, nor has he encountered any evil witchcraft..."
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings were instantly quiet, whether it was the royal family, the nobles, or the soldiers who gathered around, their faces were all stunned.
"How could it be absent?"
"Bishop York, do you want to check again?"
In their expectation, it must be that the evil witch did something, otherwise how could His Majesty become like this?
"No need to check, I am very sure that His Majesty's coma has nothing to do with curses and witchcraft!" Bishop York shook his head.
At this time.
The doctor accompanying the convoy hurriedly came out, and in the eyes of everyone, he came to the side of His Majesty George I and checked his physical abnormalities.
At the same time, he asked the people around him about the situation he observed at the time.
Not long after, he had a horrified guess in his heart, and hesitantly said, "Your Majesty's symptoms are a bit like... like a stroke, a cerebrovascular disease."
"I'm not sure whether it is specific or not. I have to wait for His Majesty George I to wake up and observe it..."
Then he explained what kind of disease a stroke is.
When they knew the specific situation of the disease, Bishop York and others were stunned, with shock on their faces.
A terminal disease that cannot be cured and will either kill or disable?
Cerebral infarction, cerebral vascular ischemia, cerebral hemorrhage?
Unbelievable discussions appeared.
"Terminal illness, doesn't this mean that His Majesty George I cannot be cured?"
"His Majesty will not die, will he?"
"The witch's prophecy will come true?"
As they talked, everyone present felt terrified.
Just now, no one took the witch's prophecy seriously, but now...
Looking at George I lying on the carriage, silent...
I don't know how many people felt fear in their hearts, fearing the witch and the prophecy.
Some people were lucky.
"It may be a coincidence, maybe His Majesty George will be fine!"
"Yes, yes!"
At this moment, they could only comfort themselves, thinking that His Majesty George I would be fine and the prophecy would not come true.
Since it was not too far from Hanover, they could not return the same way. After discussing for a while, they decided to continue to Hanover while waiting for George I to wake up.
The time came to June 11th.
They successfully reached the Hanoverian territory, and George I had been in a coma and had not woken up yet.
Seeing that His Majesty George I had been in a coma for so long, the doctors and church staff discussed and used some special methods on His Majesty George I.
Early in the morning.
Under the watch of a crowd, George I slowly opened his eyes from the bed.
However, although he was awake, he was horrified to find that he could not control his limbs.
"I... I... what's wrong..."
George I said with crooked eyes and crooked mouth, and his words were unclear.
Seeing this scene, the Bishop of York and others who were surrounded by the bed, as well as a doctor, were almost certain.
His Majesty George I did have a stroke!
Facing His Majesty George I's questioning, they hesitated and did not dare to answer at all, for fear of irritating the other party.
However, even if they did not say it, George I was aware of it.
He widened his eyes, his heart was filled with despair and fear, and recalled the mysterious witch in the Witch Forest and the prophecy he made to him.
Next June, his life will end!
He originally sneered and mocked, thinking that the prophecy was false and that the witch was also a fraud.
Now, he no longer thinks so, and his heart is full of regret.
I read the correct version on the 16-9 book forum!
This prophecy is actually true!
"No, no, I... don't want to... die..."
George I was in a state of disgrace on the luxurious bed.
No one laughed at him, and everyone present was still in shock, feeling a sense of grief.
George I looked at the Bishop of York and the doctor with hope, wanting to ask them for help.
However, they all avoided his eyes, as if they were afraid to face him, which made him quickly understand the situation.
In desperation, George I suddenly thought of something, and hope appeared in his eyes again, and he murmured, "Witch..."
That witch could even predict his death so accurately, and even a year in advance, and said it bluntly, which was extremely scary!
He thought of the rumors about the witch.
Rumor has it that the witch can keep people young forever, give them money and power, and resurrect the dead, etc...
Originally he didn't believe it, but now he couldn't help but believe it a little.
Perhaps this witch can save him!
The people beside the bed naturally heard George I's expression and what he said, and they were shocked.
What His Majesty George I could think of, they could naturally think of.
Bishop York felt uneasy and frowned, "Your Majesty, that witch is a heretic. What's the difference between asking her for help and making a deal with the devil?"
"Even if it's help, she definitely doesn't have good intentions!"
However, facing his persuasion, George I would never listen. Although he also believed in God, even he couldn't calm down in the face of the great terror between life and death.
"Guard... Soldier!"
George I looked at the guard in the corner and ordered him to send someone to find the witch.
Under the eyes of everyone, the guard hurried away with the order.
However, His Majesty George I's actions were destined to be useless.
He had a serious cerebrovascular disease, and he could only wake up with special means, so he couldn't last long.
Coupled with the emotional ups and downs, George I, who was lying on the bed, felt dizzy and fainted again.
"Your Majesty!"
A cry of surprise rang out.
After a while, after an examination, they came to a conclusion.
His Majesty George I has passed away!
Looking at George I lying on the bed, pale and lifeless, the ministers, nobles, royal family, and church personnel present all had extremely complicated expressions.
