The Girl King Page #3

and He alone

is in charge of our fate.

Beware of Catholics,

your Majesty...

They practice loose theology.

Shall we talk about

these peace negotiations?

I expect they will be difficult.

Johan, you would make

a fine negotiator for us.

What?

In Osnabruck.

You're sending me to Germany?

Who could better

represent me than you?

Johan is grateful,

your majesty, for this honour.

Yes, of course, thank you.

[HORSES WHINNYING]

It's about time!

[SIGH]

What is she doing here?

From now on, I'll be choosing

my ladies-in-waiting myself.

The "lady's seat"

restricts us to trotting,

and it makes us look ridiculous.

Get down.

Give her your saddle.

How do you expect me to feel,

she's sending me away...

She has to learn

to appreciate your worth...

Oh, really?

From a distance?

No, make sure you're

the best negotiator possible,

impress her.

She wants to keep

all the power for herself.

I'll make sure

she doesn't forget you.

Follow me!

[GUNSHOT]

[SURPRISED SHOUT]

Mmmm...

[SIGH]

Mmm...

[CHUCKLES]

By the rusty nails

of Christ's cross,

this is delicious!

I've been eating and hunting

bear since I was a child,

but this...

This is something else.

Shallots, garlic,

and, important...

One or two measures

of french white wine.

- Sant, your Majesty!

- Sant...

Look!

This is a tomato...

It comes from Spain's New World.

They're also called

"love apples".

Mmmm...

Come...

Come sit here...

At your table?

Come!

Taste this...

[LAUGHTER]

Mmmm...

They're love apples...

Delicious!

[LAUGHS]

Descartes believes in

the proper use of our passions.

Because he thinks,

it is the source

of all felicity in our lives.

Hum...

Does that mean he rejects

the philosophy of the Stoics?

Human passions

are bad for your soul?

Absolutely...

Then why should we learn

to recognize our feelings?

Then we can decide what is right

and what is wrong for ourselves.

But our lives are

determined in advance.

Life is meant to be gray until

we earn the final darkness.

[SIGHS]

Don't you think we

can add a bit of colour?

I find all this very exciting...

and disturbing.

By whose authority are you

dining with our sovereign?

I thank you, madame,

for this delicious dinner.

And ladies-in-waiting should not

be dining, at the queen's table.

Chancellor...

I invited the ambassador myself.

A Jesuit scoundrel!

A Catholic recruiter.

How can you be so careless!

Can you image if people

were aware of your

private meetings with that man?

And there was no need to be so

rough with my lady-in-waiting.

I want to make Kristina,

the greatest Lutheran

sovereign in the world.

And I work night and day

to have your reforms approved
