When Diana was sent back to the hotel, she immediately went to Professor Wolf to report to the professor that she was safe.

Wolf said to Diana: "Linda came back first just now, she is in a very bad spirit, you go and accompany her." ”

Diana, who understood the cause and effect, took the task with a wry smile.

Linda's room was next door, Diana knocked on the door, and it was Linda who opened the door.

The two people in the living room sat opposite each other, and for a while they couldn't find a topic to break the silence.

Linda crossed her fingers on the long red dress that covered her thighs, her head down, and her eyes stared blankly at her slender fingers.

"After all, it's just an 11-year-old kid who has been living in a greenhouse. Diana, whose actual age has not been revealed, sighed in her heart.

She saw Linda's performance all today.

Linda is very similar to herself, and has been the object of the family's affection since birth.

It's just that the experiences of the two are very different.

Linda lived in the palace for 11 years, surrounded only by certain people chosen for her by her father. She is like a well-cared for canary, although she has no worries about food and clothing, she has never seen the vast world, and has never been exposed to the wind and rain of nature.

And she didn't say it herself, before the age of 11, she followed her family to climb the mountains and dived across the sea, hunted wild boars and rode auspicious amounts, not only took New Year's money from the bigwigs, but also bargained in the vegetable market. She has seen the vastness of the world and knows the dangers of society (including but not limited to being deceived into drinking Laoshan Baihua Snake Grass Water).

As a result, the monotony of life experience and the incomplete knowledge structure lead to Linda's lack of knowledge, experience and ability to deal with emergencies, as well as the lack of psychological ability to resist stress.

Linda had a talent for drawing and music, but that knowledge didn't solve the problems she had today.

Before leaving, Antoine II gave her a lecture on how to make conditions to Charles in order to ask for his understanding.

But Charles's coldness and kicking the ball to Duke Redkin's side, and later Duke Redkin's political intimidation, these events beyond the script left Linda at a loss and didn't know how to respond.

If she had matured, she would have lashed out at Duke Redkin on the spot, refuting his unreasonable demands and showing that the Kingdom of Bischberg was not subject to intimidation and blackmail. Even if they can't compare to each other in words and wisdom, the momentum of a princess and daughter must be shown.

When it comes to negotiations between countries, her image is that of the Kingdom of Bischberg.

No one in the crowd thought that Linda could win Duke Redkin in a verbal confrontation, and Duke Redkin wouldn't bother with a little girl. But being knocked down from the front and being kicked in the back are two different things.

Tonight, Linda stood there dumbfounded, letting Duke Redkin and them leave without saying a word, causing the crowd to shake their heads. On the contrary, the guards who were beaten up by the group immediately went over to continue to protect Linda after getting up from the ground, which won unanimous praise from the onlookers, and even brought Linda back a lot of the face of the Bischberg Kingdom that they lost.

The one who broke the silence in the living room was Linda, who asked Diana, "Diana, will you marry Charles in the future?"

So Diana blew up.

ヽ(#'Д ́)ノ: "Why do you all think I'm going to marry him!"

Facing the furious Diana, Linda was so frightened that she subconsciously shrank back, this was the first time in so many years that someone had lost her temper.

"It's hard to ...... Isn't it?" asked Linda cautiously, "I think you two get along well together, but Charles is cold to me." ”

Diana looked at Linda speechlessly, what kind of reason is this?

Linda continued: "I really envy you, you can choose the person you like to marry. ”

"I'll turn my face if you say that again!" said Diana coldly.

"Ah...... Yes!" Linda subconsciously shut up.

Diana shook her head and said, "I mean, it's not about you right now. There are more important things for you to deal with, have you dealt with them?"

"What's the matter?" asked Linda.

"Did you pass back the three conditions proposed by Duke Redkin?" Diana was speechless as soon as she finished speaking, because she could see from the blank expression on Linda's face that the eldest sister had not thought about this stubble at all.

Under Diana's narration, Linda can finally understand the seriousness of the matter. She immediately called in one of the guards and asked him to bring the news back to the country.

After the guards left, Linda paced restlessly in circles in the living room.

She didn't know why she did it, but she saw her father pacing around the office whenever he had something difficult to solve, and she subconsciously learned it.

After pacing for a while, Linda, who found that it didn't work, sat down next to Diana and asked, "Diana, what condition do you think my father will choose?"

Diana didn't bother to complain about why her first reaction was not that her father would scold Duke Redkin, this kid is estimated to have grown up so old and hasn't scolded anyone, and he may not have the opportunity to scare people.

"Alas......" Diana said along Linda's train of thought, "First of all, let's rule out the first one, whether it is your father or Duke Redkin, they will not really take the life of the fourth prince, this is just a high price." ”

"Secondly, it is impossible to cede the territory, unless the army of the Duke of Redkin has already reached the royal capital. ”

Then Diana stopped talking.

Linda waited for a while and found that there was no more to do, and then her brain reacted, "Could it be that my father will let me get married?"

Diana nodded.

Tears had already appeared in Linda's eyes at this time, "Is there only one way for me to go through marriage?"

"Unless you can make the fourth prince become the fourth princess, and then let her marry. Diana said.

Then Linda said something that made Diana frightened, "It's not impossible to do it." ”

Just when Diana made up a scene in her mind that a certain prince was actually a woman dressed as a man, Linda's next sentence made her even more terrifying, "I've heard people mention the magic of changing people's gender, but there are few records about it." ”

Finally, Linda sighed, "What's the use of finding such a magic spell, it's not that I can't get rid of the fate of being married, in the end, it's just that the object is different." ”

She said to Diana: "I still envy people like you who can pursue their own love, just like the protagonist in the book." ”

Diana looked at Linda dumbfounded, just like she used to look at people who were overfed by Yuan Dashen on the Internet.

"You're waiting for me here. Diana finished and left.

There was a waiter in the hotel who took tips for running errands for guests, and today the waiter took the money Diana gave him with an incredible face, and then helped her do something that had never been done before.

Not long after, the waiter came back with two baskets and handed them to Diana.

Diana carried the basket back to Linda's room, and she handed one to Linda and said, "You go and change into this dress." ”

After ten minutes or so, Linda, dressed in a rough linen suit, walked out of the room. Wearing only silk clothes, she felt very uncomfortable after wearing this linen clothes, and the appearance of her walking changed.

Then she saw Diana have two bowls on the table, one containing water boiled with some kind of weed, and the other with a black bread-looking thing.

Diana said to Linda: "If you can live your life in such clothes and food like this, then you can escape the fate of marriage like me." ”

"It's just that you have to worry about buying this kind of food every day, just like us. ”

Unlike the night market stalls they had just visited, the vegetable soup and black bread they bought from the stalls frequented by the workers in the port area were the daily diet of the common people.

Although Diana was adopted by Professor Wolfe, how could this single old dog, who was busy with government affairs and obsessed with research, take care of children, so Diana grew up in the kindergarten attached to the college.

In kindergarten, Diana, a commoner, like other civilian children, had a bowl of vegetable soup and a slice of brown bread per meal. She was only able to eat meat after Professor Wolf took her home on occasional free time. Or maybe she used the oats she had dropped on the ground to catch some birds and roast them.

When Charles found out about her living situation, he stuffed the 40 Ole pieces that Momiji secretly stuffed into Charles's package into her hand in the name of getting rich first and getting rich later, and asked her to buy some delicious food by herself.

Linda had just tried two sips of mixed vegetable soup with no oil, water, and a little salt, and coarse black bread with bran.

"Do you know why kingdoms have the same names as royal families?" asked Diana Linda.

Linda, who was lying on the couch with an uncomfortable look, shook her head.

"Thousands of years ago, when the first nation was formed by mankind living on the south bank of the estuary of the great river, the first king said this. Diana said, "The meaning of this phrase is that the name of the family is to remind the king to love his people as much as he loves his family." This is true of all kings and lords. While parents enjoy the corresponding powers, they must also fulfill their obligations. ”

Then she said to Linda, "Since you have enjoyed the life that the kingdom has to offer, you must contribute to the kingdom accordingly. ”

Linda, who heard the relationship between rights and obligations for the first time, could not understand the meaning for a while, she only enjoyed the rights, but never heard of the obligations to be fulfilled.

"Isn't there any other way?" asked Linda.

"Yes. Diana nodded at Linda's wistful gaze, "You can get stronger." When your strength is strong to a certain extent, others have to consider the sound you make. ”

"Stronger?" Linda murmured, she had never had such a thought.

At this moment, a faint spark appeared in Linda's heart. The spark was so faint that she didn't even notice it.

"But even if I become stronger, my father and brothers still don't listen to me, so what should I do?" At this time, Linda was still a good girl, and she didn't know how to use her power.

Diana then told Linda about a guess she had read in history books, and not long ago, she had affirmed that it was basically true.

She said: "More than 300 years ago, before the final battle between humans and demons began, the former king of the elven court tried to force the then elven princess Victoria to marry someone she didn't like. ”

"Huh?!" Linda heard the story for the first time, "what did the Elf Queen do in the end?"

Everyone knows that the elven queen Victoria gave birth to Elizabeth out of wedlock, but who Elizabeth's father is, scholars who rely on the study of history have proposed candidates one after another, from the various brave men who were active on the continent at that time to the nameless passers-by. However, the parties never gave a clear answer on this matter.

Linda, who had heard the story in the palace, was also nervous at this time, because it sounded like her situation was similar to that of the elf princess back then.

Diana didn't answer, she asked rhetorically, "Do you think anyone in the elven clan can force the elven queen to do something she doesn't want to do?"

"No, I don't. Linda shook her head.

However, she quickly reacted, and she exclaimed, "Is it ......?"

Diana nodded, and continued: "Later, the elf princess overthrew the then elf king, and when she became the queen, no one would force her to marry again. ”

"Am I going to ......," Linda looked at Diana with wide eyes.

Diana made an audience to Linda, "Who can say anything about the love of King Linda I Bischberg?"

Linda panicked, panicked like never before. She said, "I...... I'm going to sleep first, good night. Then he went back to his bedroom.
