Arthur didn't want to attend any banquets. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info He wanted to return to the final snow mountain, to the place where it was extremely cold all year round, and let his life disappear little by little with the drop in body temperature.

But because of Prince Briano's order, he had to keep a cold face and accept everyone's attention and praise.

But soon he got rid of the dignitaries who surrounded him, left them to Werther to deal with, and went to the corner alone.

The beautiful music played by the royal orchestra sounded like noise to Arthur, and he unbuttoned his neckline a little irritably, took a sip of wine, and hoped that the banquet would end as soon as possible.

Suddenly, a fair, slender hand reached out and came into Arthur's lowered line of sight.

Arthur felt that this hand was familiar, and when he looked up slightly, he could see the luxurious sleeve behind him.

"How about I do a dance?"

Hearing Princess Triana's voice, Arthur looked up.

"I can't dance." Arthur whispered, "I beg your pardon. ”

"I don't forgive." The princess immediately replied, "I don't need you, just follow my rhythm and match my movements." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't."

"Arthur G. Montagu, for the first time in my life, I asked someone to dance with me, do you want to refuse me?"

Arthur frowned slightly. He didn't understand why this princess couldn't let him go.

The princess urged: "Hurry up, I'm very eye-catching with you, many people have already seen it, hurry up and grab my hand, like a gentleman." ”

"Gentleman's words, Werther, Jonathan and Hawkins can do it, I can go and call them."

"Arthur G. Montagu, do you think that if you end the war and save the country, you can do whatever you want?"

The princess's smiling face was slightly distorted.

"I don't think so, I'm just ...... about this kind of thing"

"If that spirit shadow of yours wants to dance with you, will you refuse?"

Arthur couldn't answer.

"Finally, the Golden Lion Regiment will have its own territory and a bright future, but when everything is at your fingertips, you disobey the princess and go against the royal family, is this what you want?"

Arthur pursed his lips and slowly took the snow-white hand.

The princess's distorted smile quickly returned, "What should you say as a requester, Arthur?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, can I dance with you?" Arthur said stiffly, expressionlessly.

"It's too quiet. A lot of people are watching here, so they can hear it. ”

Arthur's hands tightened. He slowly closed his eyes and opened them again, and said loudly, "Your Royal Highness, can I dance with you?" ”

The princess's smile brightened: "I'd love to." ”

They were at first just a couple of many dancers, but more and more eyes were gathered on them, and the other dancers made room for the two of them, and finally, they were left to turn to the accompaniment of beautiful music, and everyone looked at them, and in the eyes of the people, Arthur and Princess Triana were like the gods as companions, and the golden boy and girl were the envy of all.

Arthur sensed bad, but he couldn't change anything.

At the end of the song, applause and praise rang out.

After the salute, Arthur wanted to leave, but was summoned by Prince Briano.

After seeing Ravel's nod, Briano announced in public that he would give Arthur the title of Earl of Arthur, that the domain of the former Prince of Leicester would be given to him along with his Golden Lions, and that Princess Triana would be betrothed to him.

Amid the renewed applause and praise, Arthur was stunned.

"Wait!" Arthur was about to speak when he saw Prince Briano winking at him.

He leaned over Arthur and whispered in his ear, "You wait and I'll explain it to you." ”

Arthur turned his head to look at Triana, a smug and satisfied smile on her face.

She knew, Arthur was sure.

The feeling of being deceived instantly pressed down on Arthur's body like a mudslide. He couldn't wait for the banquet to end, and pestered Briano to ask him to break the engagement, Briano had no choice but to take Arthur out of the banquet venue first, into a small quiet room, and explain to him.

"It's Triana who is forcing me to death, I'm really sorry, I really can't help it!"

"Then let her die!" Arthur couldn't bear it anymore and burst into a rage, "Do you think she's really going to die!?" She's just used to having to get what she wants! I would never say yes! ”

"Don't be angry, Arthur, you calm down first, calm down."

Just as Briano was persuading Arthur, Lavel and Archbishop Heathrow entered the room.

"Arthur, tell me, why can't you marry Princess Triana?" Ravelle asked.

Arthur's emotions were still agitated, and he roared, "Because I don't want to marry anyone!" ”

"Princess Triana is no one." Archbishop Heathrow said in a deep voice, "She is outside of anyone. ”

Arthur looked at Prince Briano, and in any case, he firmly believed in one thing: "You can't lie to me and break your promise!" You are a prince! I believe you because you're a prince! ”

Prince Briano showed a helpless expression: "I said it all, it was my sister who forced her to die, this time I really had no choice, she said she loves you, she wants you, she just wants you, it's not impulsive, it's not just possessive, she just loves you and wants to be your wife, she said she won't marry anyone except you!" ”

Arthur gritted his teeth, anger in his eyes like it was about to erupt.

"What she wants has nothing to do with me! I only accept our quid pro quo! ”

Ravel stepped forward, approached Arthur, and said in his slightly cold tone: "Arthur, because of this war, many things have changed, although the war is over, there has been no change, do you think you can escape in the center of the torrent?" ”

"I don't understand what you're saying!" Arthur continued to roar, "All I know is that I never! ”

Before Arthur could finish yelling, Ravel interrupted him: "What kind of life do you and your Golden Lions want?" Either way, it depends on the environment, and this is the place where the environment originated. ”

"Although the war is over, the country is still traumatized, and it will take a long time to recover. Don't you notice what everyone expects from you when you dance with Triana? Their eyes are expressing their demands. ”

Ravelle continued: "Everyone knows that of the Queen's four children, only Lester is truly continuing her talent for combat. So when he provoked wars, he won almost every game. There is no one in the country, or rather, no one who is suitable and capable enough to stop him, but then, you appear. You have turned our prayers, the prayers of the people, into reality. ”
