Chapter 3: The Old Rial's Bedroom

Leah sat in front of the candlestick, her palms rubbing over a white gauze dress on the table. This is a palace maid from her sister's palace who just sent it to her, and at the same time sent a sentence: "Ready to get married!"

"When did my sister want Yuanjun's paperwork?" asked Leah.

The palace maid bowed her head and replied cautiously, "Two hours ago." ”

"Yuanjun agreed on the spot?" asked Leah.

"This slave maid didn't know that the queen asked the slave maid to send a dress, and she must have agreed. ”

Seeing that the palace maid couldn't ask for any valuable news, Leah rewarded her with a cucumber and asked her to withdraw.

"They just can't see me here any longer. Leah said with some annoyance.

"But maybe that's not a bad thing. If I can facilitate the residents of the neighbors to migrate to the Lanling Void, then what is the point of sacrificing my happiness alone!"

Leah slowly put down the dress in her hand, got up and put on a light fur and walked out of her bedroom.

She didn't wake up the palace maids who served her, they were so tired that they didn't stop working every day, and they didn't eat much, and although she had already divided a part of her ration for them to eat, there were too many of them to feed everyone.

At the end of the stone path, I turned a corner and saw the gate of my father's bedroom, guarded by two tall guards at the gate, and a long halberd shining in the light of the torch.

"Princess Leah. The two guards saw Leah and quickly tapped their breastplate with their third hand and gave a military salute.

"Hello, I'd like to see my father and talk to him about something, is it convenient to go in now?" said Leah softly.

The two guards were obviously embarrassed, and the two looked at each other, and one of them said to Leah with a sad face: "I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness Princess, the queen's order is that the Emperor's holy body is not safe and it is not suitable to see guests, so no one is allowed to go in to visit." ”

When Leah heard the guard's words, tears immediately moistened her eyes: "I'm worried about my father, can't I just go in and take a look?"

The guard shook his head and said, "Your Highness, don't embarrass us, we are just acting on orders. ”

Leah nodded, tears falling from the air, dripping onto the stone floor, stirring up some dust.

"Okay, then I'll go back first. Leah turned silently, ready to leave.

"Your Royal Highness, please stay. A voice rang out.

Leah turned around and saw that the stone door behind the guard had opened a crack.

The guard didn't say anything, just waved at Leah.

Leah was stunned for a moment, then understood his intentions, hurriedly thanked the two guards, and quickly slipped inside.

"You're going to get us dehydrated. The guard, who hadn't spoken from beginning to end, said.

"Then why don't you stop me?" asked the tall guard.

"Because I'm not afraid of dehydration, I just don't want to make Princess Leah sad. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then stopped talking.

Leah arrives at Rial's dormitory and finds that it is completely different from before. In the past, there were oil paintings here, and the walls were hung with the heads of many wild beasts that my father had hunted before, and there were many swords and weapons in the exhibition room.

But now, the whole space is filled with the smell of alcohol and powder, and the previous furnishings are gone, replaced by drapery of various colors and dried petals that cover the carpet.

"What's going on?" Leah frowned and cautiously shouted, "Father?"

No one answered.

She raised her voice again and shouted, "Father, are you there?"

Quietly in the dormitory, Leah seemed to hear only the sound of her own breathing and heartbeat.

She boldly went inside, to the innermost bedroom.

The door was hidden, and Leah reached out and pushed open the heavy wooden door. The squeaky sound shattered the suffocating silence.

"Father, are you in there?" Leah poked her head out of the crack in the door like a frightened little beast.

Still no one answered.

Leah subconsciously glanced at the large bed, and after only one glance, she blindfolded her eyes in fright.

She hurriedly withdrew, her face red and her heart beating so fast that she was short of breath.

"Father, how can Father be so ridiculous. Leah thrashed her chest desperately, hoping to regain her composure as soon as possible.

"No! how can my father's body withstand such a toss!" she relented, turned back and rushed into the bedroom with her head covered.

She first picked up a brocade quilt from the chair and covered it over the two women beside the bed, who had an unobstructed view of the ups and downs. Then he wrapped the rial tightly in the blanket on the bed.

She tried to drag the old king out, but the Rial drank so much that he was as drunk as a puddle of mud.

"Father, Father, Wake up!" Leah called anxiously to her father, who was really worried that the old man in front of her would die drunk.

Leah threw the ice bucket on the low table next to her, and threw it at Rial's face as she lay on the bed, with ice cubes and ice water.

"Ahh

"Is that you?Leah?" When he calmed down, he saw clearly that the person who splashed him with ice water in front of him was actually his own daughter.

"It's me, Father, are you alright?" asked Leah, leaning over and crouching beside her father.

"Who let you in? Get out of here!" Rialten sat up, not caring about himself, and roared at Leah.

The two fair-skinned women beside him were also awakened at this moment, and when they saw that Rial was furious, they didn't understand what was going on, so they wrapped themselves in a blanket and ran out screaming.

"Father, you are under house arrest by Gao Na and Ligen, you know?" Leah did not leave, but continued to crouch patiently by the bed.

"You don't care! You broom star! I'm so good! I'm carefree every day, with endless wine and women. It won't be long before my two daughters will be the first to send me to Wonderland on Earth. Rial said triumphantly.

"But I'm your daughter too, why do you keep hating me like that?" Leah's tears flowed uncontrollably.

"You, are you worthy of being my daughter?" roared Rial, "your mother would have sacrificed herself to keep you in order to give birth to you, and if it hadn't been for what she said to me before she died, I would have thrown you into the Moonless Forest to feed the Steppenwolf." ”

Leah's eyes were red, and she sobbed and said, "But my mother's death is not something I can control, and I don't want my mother to be like this." How can I say it's my fault?"
