Chapter 72: Anger
"Father." Although it was her first pregnancy, Eve deliberately wore a looser skirt, and even the high heels she always liked were put away and put away. She sat with Alan in front of Helena and the king, and Helena was fine, with only the joy of being lost and regained. And the king's expression was solemn and solemn, like a stone sculpture in front of a tomb, which made Eve a little uneasy.
She tried to call again, "Father." ”
Only then did the king speak in an unkind tone, "This is a private matter of Gari, and His Royal Highness the Duke may not be suitable to participate." He endured the seizure all the time, especially after watching Eren take Eve's hand tightly and place it on his knee.
"You may not know, but Eve and I have signed a marriage contract." Alan comfortingly took Eve, "Her business is naturally my business." ”
"Marriage contract?" Helena was amazed, and the king's expression grew darker and darker than the night in the Curaro Forest.
"Yes." "And Eve is pregnant, so it's even more unlikely that I'll ignore it." ”
"Bastard." The king slapped the table suddenly, he glared at Allen, but found that there was no way to really do anything with him, he could only be angry with Eve, "How did we teach you since you were a child, you did such a shameless thing before you got married, and you lost the face of the entire royal family." ”
"Majesty!" Compared with the bloodline, the entanglement of black and white magic, Helena feels more sorry for her daughter. Since she was a child, she was reluctant to even say a heavy word to Eve, let alone say words like 'shameless'.
"This marriage doesn't count." The king choked a few words from the depths of his throat, and if he could, he would like to have five horses dismembered him now, "Neither of us has agreed, and this paper contract is all your private farce." I will send for the destruction of your deeds now. ”
Allen's brows furrowed fiercely, if Eve hadn't shaken his head to stop him, Alan would probably not be able to suppress the urge in his heart to do something terrible.
"Lauren's business, I think Brandt told you." The king stood up, he thought she had been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, but what she had done now was so disappointing to him. A fierce killing intent flashed when his gaze swept over his lower abdomen covered by the loose dress, "After breaking the marriage contract with His Royal Highness the Duke, I will send someone to escort you to the Dragon Cave." Lauren has been making trouble in a nearby town lately, and the problem must be solved immediately. ”
"Father, can you, can you give me a little grace after I give birth to the child?" Eve looked at her father, who had always loved her, and for the first time she was so harshly reprimanded. She couldn't help but touch her lower abdomen, but she didn't know that this action made the king even more angry.
This is simply the greatest insult to the royal blood of the Gari, a princess who has a vampire's child, or is unmarried, even if it is her own child, it is not an allowable fault, "No way, you only have two choices now." One is to take it to the Dragon Cave, and the other is to drain it before leaving, there is no third possibility. ”
"But ......"
"Don't forget, you're still the princess of Gari." The king looked at her condescendingly, "This is your birthright responsibility. ”
After he finished speaking, he left the room, leaving Alan to comfort her, "It's okay, it's going to be fine." ”
"Eve, is there anything wrong with you?" Helena knew that there might be a little vampire in her belly, and wondered if it would be more disturbing than a normal human fetus, "Have you been able to eat lately?" Is the stomach disgusting, is it uncomfortable? ”
"It's not uncomfortable. It's just that sometimes I can't eat. Because of her father's reprimand, Eve's eyes were red in anger, but she still held back her tears.
"Your father is just angry for a while, wait for me to persuade him." Helena comforted, "Don't be sad, you still have a baby in your belly." When the mother is too sad, it will affect its healthy growth. ”
"Well, I'm not uncomfortable." Eve nodded reluctantly, bowing her head as she did when she broke Helena's most cherished vase as a child, "I'm sorry, Mom, I did something wrong. ”
"It's okay, it's not your fault at all." Helena couldn't help but feel pantothenic in her heart, and she tried to keep herself from crying, it was all her fault.
"Mandy, take Eve to my room to rest first, and then find a doctor to do some basic tests for her." Helena feared that her joy and sorrow would affect the child in her womb.
"Yes." Mandy took Eve from Alan's hand, and she helped Eve to the inner room, and Eve took two steps and looked back at them, as if she was worried about something. It was Helena who urged, "Go quickly." He walked in and closed the door.
"I've always wanted to talk to you." Eve was gone, and Helena's gentle and loving expression vanished, leaving only the indifference, vigilance, and defensiveness of the negotiation, "Do you remember what you promised me?" ”
"Yes." Alan knew Helena's intentions, "I've always wanted to discuss this with you, and that's why I'm bringing Eve back." ”
"According to what I know about His Majesty, although he didn't say anything, he is likely to send someone to secretly abort the child. After that, send Eve to the Dragon's Cave. Helena had a hard time accepting her husband's deep-seated conservative minds, "He doesn't want you to be together, especially knowing it...... after your identity. He would rather have Eve eaten by Lauren than marry her...... A dark mage related to the Bloodline. ”
"What do you mean?"
"As long as I live happily for Eve, it doesn't matter where I am or with whom." Helena spat out the words firmly, and although she was cutting off her own flesh, bleeding from the knife and hurting to the heart, she was anxious to get some confirmation, "You will protect her, take care of her, love her for the rest of your life, and let no one hurt her, right?" ”
Allen's act of taking Eve to Landis without saying anything deeply angered Helena, but although she had a grudge, in order for Eve to survive, she still had to put aside these preconceptions for the time being and cooperate with the only possibility at the moment.
"Yes." Alan replied firmly, "If you're still not at ease, I can put on other life and death spells." ”
