The number of Mingji muskets lent by the Kingdom of Byron to the Kingdom of Elt has changed from 3,000 to 5,000, which is just enough to achieve the expected goal of the Kingdom of Elt. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Elt, who had bargained with Mel, clearly remembered that before one of the guards came to Mel with a blank face and whispered in his ear, the upper limit of the number of leases was desperately pressed by Mel at the value of three thousand. He believes that Myer's sudden increase in the number of muskets on loan to 5,000 is directly related to the incident related to this whisper.

It was about 2,000 muskets, and it was impossible for the Foreign Minister not to care. In order to find out what happened to the Byron family, he could only offer to meet Leah again, but Maier quietly refused, saying that he could let the maid of the Bluestone Palace pass the word for him and Leah. The Foreign Secretary had already guessed Leah's plight at the Byrons family, so he wasn't suspicious.

The Foreign Secretary informed the maid in charge of the outcome of the negotiations, and he was not sure whether Leah had spoken to Maier about the Lend-Lease or whether Maier had confessed to Leah. He had to give Leah more complete information, but if he said it too bluntly, it would definitely arouse suspicion from the Byrons.

The Foreign Secretary was very nimble, and he praised Mel for his generosity to the allies in front of the maid in charge of the message, saying that the Kingdom of Elt only wanted 3,000 muskets, but Mel gave them 5,000 and told her to inform Leah about it, so that she would not disappoint Mary's heart for the Elt. royal family.

For the Elt Kingdom, the more arms lent the better, and for the Byrons Kingdom, the fewer the arms lent to the Elt Kingdom, the better, so it is impossible for the Elt Kingdom to want 3,000 Mingji muskets and the Byrons Kingdom gave 5,000. The Foreign Secretary thinks that Leah must understand what he means, and in fact Leah does understand the meaning of these words.

In fact, even if the foreign secretary did not do this, and simply explained to her the outcome of the negotiations, she would have understood what Maier meant when she had already learned of the upper limit on his loan. The actual lease amount of the Kingdom of Byron changed from 3,000 to 5,000, and during this period, the only event that could change the lease amount was the fact that Leah fell ill.

Could it be that the color embryo gave us an extra 2,000 Mingji muskets for my sake?

As soon as the thought came to her, Leah shook her head vigorously. She did not think that Maier, who had said such hurtful words as "political husband and wife" to her face, would increase the amount of Lend-Lease arms because of her illness. But beyond that, Leah couldn't think of any other possibility.

At this time, Leah remembered that Maier had made a flower basket for herself. As soon as her body was healed by the shrine maiden, she immediately called a maid of the Bluestone Palace who was in charge of serving her and asked her, "Has His Majesty been very fond of making flower baskets lately?" ”

The maid of the Bluestone Palace shook her head, indicating that she did not know these things. Leah asked the maid again, "Have the other princesses also received the flower baskets made by His Majesty?" ”

This question made the maid of the Bluestone Palace very unhappy. She was originally Kiki's maid, but because she was cautious and reliable, she was transferred to Leah's side to take care of and monitor the woman. A few days ago, there were rumors in the side hall that Princess Ulis had a tantrum over Maier personally making flower baskets for Leah, and several princesses were making trouble because of this.

The maid knew that Princess Kiki would definitely not make trouble, because Princess Kiki was so loyal to His Majesty that she would consider His Majesty in everything. Even Princess Kiki never got the flower basket made by Maier herself, but this foreign princess who had ill intentions towards the Byron family did, and the maid, who was very loyal to Kiki, naturally felt sorry for her.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, I'm very sorry, I'm just an ordinary maid, I don't dare to ask about His Majesty the King."

The maids of the Bluestone Palace did not regard Leah as a real princess, and everyone unanimously called her "Her Royal Highness the Princess" instead of "Her Royal Highness the Princess", so judging from the maid's wording alone, her attitude seemed to be no problem with the past.

But the way she looked at Leah, and her tense facial muscles, made Leah aware of something strange. In the past, these maids avoided questions as they did now, but they always maintained a calm demeanor that was neither humble nor arrogant. But now, the maid looked at Leah with an unfriendly gaze, even a little hatred, which was a little abnormal.

Did I do anything that would make them hate me?

Leah's sudden illness was enough to make the maids hate her. They are the ones who take care of Leah, and now that Leah is suddenly sick, they will definitely be held accountable, and it is normal for them to hate Leah. But when Leah called the maid for questioning, she didn't show such feelings. It was only after Leah asked the question that she became what she is now, which means that this negative emotion was caused by Leah's question.

Leah asked the maid only two questions, one was whether Maier had recently enjoyed making flower baskets, and the other was whether any of Mel's other princesses had received flower baskets that he had made herself. When answering the first question, the maid's attitude did not change, which means that the first question did not cause the maid to have negative emotions.

People here hate me...... I received the flower basket that I made by myself...... I asked the man if the other princesses had received the basket made of the color embryo, and she got angry......

For Leah, the clues were already sufficient for her to come up with an answer.

First of all, the maid must know whether Maier has been obsessed with making flower baskets lately, and whether Maier has given them to other princesses, otherwise the second conclusion is not valid; Secondly, those flower baskets that are very poor-looking must have been made by Maier himself, otherwise the third conclusion would not be valid; Thirdly, Mel must not have given the flower baskets he had made himself to the other princesses, otherwise the maid would not have reacted unusually.

Since the maid has already reacted abnormally, it means that the third conclusion is valid. And the conclusion of the third point is based on the fact that everyone in the Bluestone Palace hates Leah, and Leah, who is hated by everyone, gets the flower basket made by His Majesty the King himself, but the other princesses don't get it, which will definitely deepen everyone's disgust with Leah. The maid's abnormal behavior is a manifestation of the deepening of disgust.

Since the third conclusion is true, then the second conclusion must be true. Because if the second conclusion is not true, the third conclusion cannot be true. But the third conclusion is already valid, so the second conclusion must be true. In the same way, the first conclusion is also valid.

Although Leah does not yet know if Maier is obsessed with making flower baskets, it is certain that Maier made the flower baskets for her and gave her only the flower baskets he made himself, not the others.

Why did that color embryo send me a flower basket......

Leah didn't notice her heart beating faster, nor did she notice the flush creeping up her cheeks. While she was thinking about it seriously, the maid had silently returned to her post.

He said something like that...... He also left me there when he was angry and cried, and left alone...... Now they're sending me flower baskets...... Or is it handmade...... It's still so bad......

Leah's fingers fiddled restlessly with her hair, her gaze wandering.

Hum...... I didn't believe he would suddenly find out in his conscience...... You want to comfort me or something...... Hmph, at most, he just wants to apologize for his previous gaffes...... I won't forgive him......

Leah doesn't notice that her address to Mel has been upgraded from "that color" to "he". If Liu Xiu was here and heard Leah's heart, he would definitely run out of the door in a panic and shout loudly, "It's too late!" This woman has been made out of Stockholm syndrome by Mayer! ”

It is true that Leah's sudden shalness is one of the manifestations of Stockholm syndrome. Before Maier sent her a basket of flowers, the entire Bluestone Palace was targeting her. She lost her cronies, was restricted in her freedom, and was treated coldly by everyone. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a kind of captivity in disguise. Leah, who lives in the side hall, has lived in depression until now.

Just as she was about to get used to the oppression, Mel suddenly began to be kind to her, as if he had built a charcoal fire for Leah in the cold night, giving her warmth. As the saying goes, it is better to give bread in the snow than to give charcoal in the snow, human beings are such creatures, the more they need it, the deeper they are moved when they get it.

However, Leah's needs didn't come after coming to Bluestone Palace. As early as she could remember, she had been longing for sincere affection, but she had never received such affection. Born in the royal family of Ayrte, she has to learn to beware of other people's calculations since she was a child, and she must also learn to calculate others. In the aristocratic circle of the Elts, everything everyone does is utilitarian, either to avoid loss, or to gain something, to put it bluntly, it is a transaction. And the reason why a relationship is a relationship is because it cannot be traded.

Leah knows this very well, but the education she received since she was a child made her stubbornly believe that feelings are useless, and that as long as you have the means, you can get more things, and this kind of life is meaningful. Leah has always lived with this belief, constantly suppressing her innermost true desires, constantly pursuing those things that she doesn't actually care about.

Leah wants power, she wants status, she wants influence, she wants to be a legend, not because she really wants these things, but because she has to pursue them. If she doesn't pursue these, then she will have to face her heart and face her truest needs.

Leah's rationality tells her that her needs will not be met. So when she faces her heart and her truest needs, that's when she falls into despair. As a human, Leah abides by the human instinct to survive. She wants to live, so she must cut off all possibilities that would lead her to death.

Leah is not afraid of death when she is at her most beautiful, but she will not take the initiative to seek death. The reason why she is not afraid of death is because she feels that she will be remembered after death and will continue to live in people's memories. To put it bluntly, she is still afraid of death.

But now, Maier's handmade flower basket gives Leah a new hope. This act seemed meaningless to her, as it would not do Mel any good. Now that Leah has been placed under house arrest by the Byron family, the situation is more passive and more passive, and Maier, who completely takes the initiative, does not need to take Leah's feelings into account at all.

Unless Leah actively seeks death, because she has no cards to play in her hand other than life. The maid of the Qingshi Palace watched her day and night, and even if she sought death, she might not succeed. But it didn't matter, she just had to put on an attitude that I would kill myself at any moment, and Mel would panic.

But Leah didn't seek death, and during the few days she was languishing, the maid of the Bluestone Palace didn't pay attention to her. After Leah falls, Mel comes to see her, and Leah knows about it. However, Mel had given Leah the basket before she fell ill, and the basket he had made himself had only arrived two days later. After receiving the flower basket, Leah forgot about the unpleasantness, and enjoyed the flowers every day, arranged the flowers, and enjoyed the flowers again, and her life was very fulfilling, and it didn't look like she was looking for death at all.

But even in this case, Maier made a flower basket for her. Aside from simply wanting to show her sincerity, Leah couldn't think of any other possibilities.

What kind of sincerity is Meier trying to express?

Leah said that she couldn't guess, but she was also full of expectations. Even if Mel only did it to apologize, this sincerity, without any utilitarian feelings, would have made a difference in Leah's life.

She even wanted to offend Mel a few more times, make him angry at herself, and then regret it, and find a way to apologize to her. But when she thought about it, she didn't necessarily regret it when she found out that Maier was angry. Meier apologized this time because he said something he shouldn't have said, and he was the one who was at fault. If Leah had taken the initiative to provoke Maier and make him angry, he would not have apologized to Leah.

Thinking of this, a sense of loss welled up in Leah's heart. She couldn't help but start to wonder what would happen after the other princesses deliberately provoked Maier's anger, and if the other princesses deliberately provoked Mai's anger, Maier would not take the initiative to apologize, and she would feel better. But the thought that Maier might apologize made her heart agitated.

Hum...... It's just a bunch of glamorous sluts!

Leah sulked on the bed, burying her face in the soft pillow.

I was apologized to that guy or something...... I'm not unusual!
