Chapter 49: My Highness the Princess
In a blink of an eye, it's March. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
After Leah fell ill, she recovered within a few days. But just in case, Mel still visits her often. Mel and Leah's wedding is scheduled for April 15, which means that the two will officially get married in a month and a half. If Leah falls ill again before the wedding, so that the wedding cannot take place as scheduled, it will definitely affect the image of the Byronic royal family.
The princess has been sent to your house by the Elt Kingdom, and all the matters of the wedding have been handed over to your family, which is a sign of trust. With the wedding date already announced, if Maier and Leah can't get married as scheduled, it will be a betrayal of the trust of the Elt Kingdom in the Byron family.
Betraying the trust of the allies is undoubtedly a sign of incompetence. Regardless of whether Leah is sick, resisting marriage, or running away from marriage, as long as the Byrons family cannot hold the wedding as scheduled, it means that the Byrons family is not capable enough. Of course, if Leah resists marriage or escapes from marriage, the Elt Kingdom will also bear some responsibility. But if he fell ill, the kingdom of Byron would have to give an explanation to the kingdom of Elt.
But even if the Kingdom of Byron gives a reasonable explanation and gets the understanding of the Kingdom of Ayrt, this will not change the fact that the Byron family is incompetent, and the image of the Byron royal family will be affected.
In fact, there is no need for Mel to coax Leah, even if Leah is ill, the Byron family can rely on the power of the witch to make her insist on attending the wedding before recuperating. But Maier, who had already hurt Leah once, couldn't bear to hurt her a second time, so he went to visit Leah to make her happy.
Since Myer's visits were obviously utilitarian, Leah didn't buy these visits, and didn't even bother to deal with him. If it had been Leah before, she would have been cheering in her heart, and she took the opportunity to make various demands to improve her living conditions. But now Leah is angry with Mel, hiding under the covers and sullen.
On March 3, Leah did not eat for the whole day because she had no appetite. The maid of the Bluestone Palace thought that she was going on a hunger strike and quickly reported the situation to Meier. In desperation, Maier had no choice but to find time to come to Leah's place to negotiate terms with her.
Mel was here for Leah after dinner, and it was already dark when he arrived, which made Leah a little excited. But on the surface, she still pretended to be very cold, hiding under the covers with her back to Meier, and said nothing.
The maid brought a chair for Mel so he could sit on the edge of Leah's bed. Leah pouted when she heard Mel sit down.
Who sat you down? I haven't forgiven you yet!
She pursed her lips in displeasure, but remained silent.
Before speaking, Maier thought for a moment about the question of salutation. He always referred to Leah as "Her Royal Highness the Princess" until he deliberately addressed her. After the "Political Couple" incident, Maier still refers to Leah as "Her Royal Highness Leah". He felt that there should be nothing wrong with this title, but with Leah already ignoring him many times, he had to consider a different title.
Do you want to call them by name?
Maier didn't mind calling Leah by her first name, but he had already said something like "political couple" and hadn't apologized to Leah in person. Calling Leah by name at such a time will give people the feeling of being forced to do so.
Or is it an open and honest negotiation that takes retreat as advance?
Mayer's so-called "retreat is advance" is to change her name to Leah as "Her Royal Highness the Princess", giving her a sense of alienation, and directly telling her "I am here to negotiate with you". But in this way, the relationship between the two is completely broken, and it is difficult to repair.
It doesn't seem to work either way......
While Mel was struggling with the title, Leah was already a little impatient.
Sitting stupidly like this and not talking, this guy doesn't know what he's here for!
She resisted the urge to turn away, her eyes closed, her mouth pursed even higher.
After thinking about it, he thought it would be better to call it the first one. But when he opened his mouth, he changed his mind and wanted to use the second name. But as soon as he changed his words, he felt that this kind of title was not appropriate, and then he said the following sentence in a daze.
"Li...... Public...... My Royal Highness? β
The moment she heard Mel call herself, Leah's face turned tomato color and then red to the base of her ears. Her heart began to beat wildly, almost bursting through her chest cavity and flying out.
Don't look at the difference between "Her Royal Highness the Princess" and "Her Royal Highness My Princess" is just one more subject and one possessive, and the expression effect can be said to be very different. The former is just an honorific title that can show a sense of closeness or distance on specific occasions; The latter is a term of endearment, and in the new language, it sounds even more numb than "baby".
The honorifics in the new language are non-possessive, and when the servant responds to his master to his face, he does not say "Yes, my master", but only "Yes, master." This is because the possessive in the new language is not simply a representation of a relation, but a real sense of "owned by so-and-so". So when introducing a friend in a new language, no one will say, "This is 'my' friend," because that's rude. Of course, when writing in their own language, people still write according to the original linguistic logic.
Write "Yes, my master" where you should write "Yes, my master", and "This is my friend" where you should write "This is my friend". In a fundamental sense, writing in the native language is equivalent to translating the new language into the original language of the native language. Since it is a translation, it is necessary to ensure "Xindaya", so people will still follow the original language habits of their own people.
If Maier had written to Leah in Leting, the phrase "My Royal Highness the Princess" would not have caused Leah to react so much. Because in the linguistic logic of Leting, the possessive is simply used to indicate a relationship, and in the context of Leting, anyone who is familiar with Leah can call her "My Royal Highness the Princess", even if it is a person in a hostile relationship.
But to say that sentence to your face in a new language is a different feeling. Mel refers to Leah as "My Highness the Princess", which gives the impression that he already sees Leah as his possession. At this time, Leah is ignoring Myer, so that this sentence will give the impression that he is going to forcibly possess Leah.
As soon as this sentence was spoken, Maier himself was taken aback. This sentence, which was no different from the confession, also stunned the guards and maids in the room, and they all froze in place and did not know what to do. You must know that it is night, and a man comes to his fiancΓ©e's boudoir at night to confess, if his fiancΓ©e accepts the confession, the only thing the two can do next is "that", right?
Leah, who was white, was shy and wanted to find a hole to drill into, but where was there a hole for her to drill now? She could only cover her head under the quilt and close her eyes and shout at Myer.
ββ¦β¦ Get lost...... Get out, get out!! β
Embarrassed by the misspoken words, Maier ran out of Leah's room. The guards led by Tal hurriedly chased out, and the maids also left the room in a hurry.
As a result, Leah was the only one left in the room. By the time she realized this, it was already two hours later. Leah noticed that the room was quiet and scary, so she poked her head out to look, only to find that the people in the room were gone. Remorse flooded her heart, and Leah stubbornly snorted, and at the same time, her stomach let out a loud protest sound.
By the time Leah had eaten her supper, Tal had already done the job of explaining and sealing Mel. If the news of Myer's confession to Leah reached the ears of the princesses, Euris alone would be enough of a headache for Myer.
Although Euris didn't know about it, she was still troubled by the fact that Mel had sent Leah a basket of flowers. This time, though, she didn't lose her temper with Myer, but just made a fuss in the room while her daughter wasn't there. She knew that this matter would reach Mel's ears, and this time she didn't lose her temper with Myer, he would definitely feel that he was more sensible than before, and then took the initiative to come and coax herself.
That night, neither Yishan nor Euris went to sleep, so Euris went to live with Yishan. She showed her wisdom to her friends, and there was also the meaning of letting Yishan learn dim sum scheming.
"You...... Can't you use this cleverness somewhere else? Yishan looked helpless after listening to Ulis's words, "It's all mothers, are you tired of calculating and calculating?" β
"You, it's because you look down on scheming that you always suffer."
"Where did I suffer?"
"If you didn't suffer, why did you bring your sister in in the first place? Aren't you still insecure? β
"Hmm...... That's all in the past, so why mention it. β
"By the way, speaking of which, how are your sister and your sister?"
"Alas......" Yishan smiled bitterly, "It's long gone." β
"No fun?" Euris glared in surprise, "No! β
"How could it not?" Yishan said bitterly, "General Wei Xu and Director Patton wrote a letter on the same day to decline. My sister is okay, she has a child by her side, and she quickly eased up. My sister can't do it, and she still refuses to go out. β
"It's not...... Your sister was married, and it was understandable that she was rejected...... But your sister's conditions are so good, and the other party is still so old, why did he refuse your sister! β
"I've heard that it's because he's celibate."
"Celibate?"
Euris frowned, a look of incomprehension.
"Isn't it...... Is there really a man in the world who doesn't want to find a woman? β
"Maybe, he rejected my sister anyway."
"Ah...... I wondered, what did your sister like about Director Barton? Isn't he just an old man? β
"Who knows, maybe she just likes that type." Yishan shrugged her shoulders, "I'm going to arrange another blind date for my sister recently, and it would be best if it could be successful, and I could give my sister a little encouragement." β
The two were silent for about half a minute, and then Euris started a new topic.
"What are you going to do when Wayne grows up?"
"What to do?"
Yishan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately looked at Euris with a look of disgust.
"Do you really want to marry Deella and Rela to Hart?!"
"Of course, is there any problem?"
"They're sisters and brothers!"
"What's wrong with my brother and sister?"
"Mel is a Leytin!"
"What happened to the Letin people? Ah, only allow him to marry an old woman who is more than a thousand years old, and not allow his son to marry his own sister? There must be a degree of unreasonable trouble! β
"You're the one who is making trouble, right?"
"Yikes!"
At the moment when Yishan held Ulis's ear, Euris put her hand into Yishan's underwear without hesitation, wantonly teasing Yishan's little grapes. Like Ullis's ears, Yishan has her own sensitive points, and she will be strongly stimulated when touched. Euris discovered Yishan's weakness during a sleeping together, and after that, as long as Yishan grabbed her ear, she would reflexively put her hand into Yishan's clothes to tease her sensitive spots.
Neither is an easy loser, so fights always end in defeat.
This time was no exception.
