Chapter 31 Transaction in progress
Hathaway couldn't accept this fact for a moment.
She has paid so much for this marriage, she has promised her father, quit the practice of swordsmanship, and accepted the training to become a queen, her father will not allow her to regret it now, and the teachers and friends who used to practice swords together are also disappointed in her, and she has no face to go back to see them......
She seems to ...... I can't go back to my old life......
She didn't care about this, as long as she could get the love of her dreams, she felt that it was worth everything, but now things don't seem to be as she imagined.
Meng Zhuang ultimately failed to push off the marriage.
Their wedding date was set quickly.
Faced with Meng Zhuang's indifference and rejection, Hathaway was disappointed.
What she wants is the same love as she imagined, not such a marriage that buries love forever.
Maybe when the marriage is decided, Meng Zhuang will try to accept her if he is dead.
Hathaway didn't know what to do, she could only wait blindly, praying that things would turn around.
But reality didn't give her a room to turn around, but made everything worse.
On the day of the wedding, Meng Zhuang left alone.
The imaginary love did not appear, and now even marriage has become a one-man show for her.
Overnight, she became a joke of the two countries, and her father saw her as a royal disgrace and wanted to distance himself from her, and the king of Shazhou Country, Meng Zhuang's father, that is, her father-in-law, said that as compensation, she could marry Meng Zhuang's younger brother.
But what's the point?
She is not bad for this useless marriage contract.
Hathaway was disheartened, she felt that her life had become so bad that she wanted to give up.
On the night of the wedding, Hathaway, wearing the white wedding dress she had always dreamed of, slit her wrists on the patio of her room.
Blood kept flowing from the wound, and the body slowly became cold...... At that time, Hathaway closed her eyes and imagined that when she opened her eyes again, the world would be a new world, and she would be a new self, with a future with infinite possibilities, and let out the first cry of life.
Hathaway never imagined that when she opened her eyes again, she was still lying on the terrace facing the garden in her blood-stained wedding dress.
At this time, the first rays of the morning sun had just pierced the clouds, and the gardener was already clattering in the garden with scissors, and the distant sound of camel bells was heard somewhere outside the palace.
There are also unknown birds skimming over Lake Yami below, leaving a string of fine ripples on the surface of the lake.
It wasn't what she had imagined.
It had been a long time since she had admired the Sandbank King's Palace in the early morning.
Hathaway didn't dare to stay on the terrace for too long, so she quickly ran back into her room, changed into new clothes before anyone came, and disposed of the blood on the terrace.
As for the blood-stained wedding dress, Hathaway didn't know what to do with it, so she folded it up, folded the bloody part inside, and hid it in the closet.
After doing all this, Hathaway sat on the bed, feeling at a loss.
She looked down at her wrist, the wound that had been cut last night was still there, it hadn't healed at all, the blood seemed to have dried up, the wound had left no trace of blood in her just flushed with water, Hathaway felt a little hard to imagine that one day she would be able to see her flesh lose the nourishment of blood.
After sitting still for a moment, Hathaway raised a hand and pressed it to her left chest.
There was no heartbeat there.
β......β
Hathaway didn't know exactly what was going on with her. But, perhaps because she had died once, Hathaway felt that the world was a little different after this night.
Maybe her life wasn't so bad.
Even the miracle of resurrection from the dead happened to me, maybe I was actually favored by God?
Hathaway told the king of Shazhou that she didn't want to be married to someone who looked some way like Meng Zhuang, and that she wanted the right to inherit the throne.
She sent the blood-stained wedding dress back to her home country and told her father that she wanted to start over.
It turned out that her father was still on her side anyway, and with her father's help, she got her wish and squeezed out Meng Zhuang's younger brother and became the queen of the current Shazhou Kingdom.
After that, she did not give up looking for Meng Zhuang, but entrusted her father to invest more strength in finding Meng Zhuang, but so far she has found nothing.
Hathaway was not willing to give up like this, she wanted to find him, show him the thriving sandbank country under her leadership, let him see her new appearance, she wanted to ...... See him regret what he did!
This is what she wants to see again!
However, three years have passed, and there is still no news about Meng Zhuang's whereabouts, and in the past three years, there has been a little problem in Shazhou Country, and the neighboring countries want to take the opportunity to annex Shazhou Country, and dealing with this matter has made her exhausted.
Life is still so hard again.
However, fate does not seem to have given up on her this time.
About a month ago, Gu Changgeng found her and proposed to her the deal - to exchange the Rogues for George's whereabouts and the future of Shazhou Country.
And she just needs to do what she can.
Hathaway agreed almost without hesitation.
β......β
To this day, when she heard the name Meng Zhuang again, Hathaway could still immediately recall his appearance, which made her lose her mind, but she quickly came back to her senses and looked at the smiling Rakshasa woman sitting in front of her, with a tremor in her voice that she didn't even notice, "What's wrong with him?"
"He had just gotten married. β
The Rakshasa woman's tone can hardly be said to be calm or indifferent.
Hathaway heard the sound of something shattering in her heart.
As for whether it is obsession or love, now, Hathaway herself is a little unclear.
After saying this, Rogue's gaze lingered on her face for a second, and this gaze made Hathaway forcibly calm down, at least maintaining a semblance of calmβshe didn't want Roguea to see her inner wavering.
Hathaway quickly cleaned up her mood, locked up all the messy thoughts first, buried them in her heart, and cheered up to look at Rogue.
Rogues seemed to sense Hathaway's mood, but her attitude made Hathaway feel a little elusive.
The woman who made Gu Changgeng's man jealous only smiled when she saw this, but this smile was too stereotyped, it was like it was really carved on that face, but this smile always appeared in every delicate moment, and people couldn't help but wonder if there was any deep meaning hidden behind this smile.
"I've done a rough survey," continued the Rakshasa, "and Meng Zhuang's wife has known him since childhood, and once seemed to be a gardener in the royal palace. β
β......β
Hathaway was in a trance for a moment, and she heard her own voice say bitterly, "And where is he now?"
The Rakshasa looked at her and smiled, "If I answer this question, it means that you have promised to give up the transaction with Gu Changgeng and choose me, do you want me to answer this question?"
β......β
Hathaway pinched her eyebrows, "I'm sorry, please continue." β
Rakshasa nodded, "In addition, the only thing that bothers Your Majesty should be the safety of the Sandbank Country, and I can also solve this problem for you, as for why you chose me, I will give you my reasons." β
