Chapter 54: Falling out of favor
Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, winter has gone to spring, and the warm sea breeze cannot disperse the slaughter of winter.
Three months ago, Windsor and Rochester invariably ignited the flames of war, and it no longer matters who provokes the civil war first, what matters is the final outcome, the winner is king, and the loser is the loser.
As soon as the battle began, the superiority of the Southland soldiers was unobstructed, and the king's army was frequently defeated, and Rochester was frightened and had to ask the king of Visa to send troops to help. Windsor was fierce and threatened: If the Visa army dares to step into our territory for half a step, I swear that no matter whether it succeeds or fails, it will destroy the Kingdom of Visa! The top and bottom of the Visa Kingdom suddenly lost color, and the ministers dissuaded him from sending troops to wait and see, and not to affect the entire kingdom because of the princess alone! Just as the king hesitated, the princess returned!
The king's brow furrowed, and his tone was filled with deep apprehension,
"Rochester asked you to be a lobbyist?"
The princess's face was tense, her eyes were bottomless, she was simple-minded back then, and she could see where the bottom of the Visa had gone? The king saw that such a daughter was in pain, and for the first time he regretted what he had done.
"I'm not here to convince you, but, Rochester can't hold up one-armed, and he's afraid of hurting me."
The king's eyes lit up instantly,
"Great! Daughter, you can let go of him, there are many good men, and my father will definitely find you another one better than him! β
The daughter looked straight at herself, and the king stopped talking + one + book + reading + novel xstxt, and now he really couldn't figure out what this daughter thought,
"Daughter, my father will definitely support you! But I also have to respect the wishes of the people, as well as those princes and ministers, they have a lot of troops in their hands, and I can only send troops if they are willing, otherwise I am afraid that there will be civil strife, daughter! β
Princess Visa suddenly got up,
"Support me?! Ha ha! Am I not your spy in a neighboring country? β
The king's eyelids jumped, and his heart panicked, she wouldn't know everything, would she?
"I know that whether Rochester will be defeated by Windsor or not, he is destined to be a loser, without Windsor and my dear father! You're all scheming on him! I was the only one who foolishly thought that my father had married me for marriage! How ridiculous! β
"How do you know?"
The princess sneered,
"Thanks to my father's love, it's not that you left so many people to serve me I'm still in the dark, I can't help it, I have to kill them one by one, drown one today, fall to death tomorrow, and ...... the day after tomorrow"
"Say no more!"
The king interrupted her abruptly, and then looked at his daughter with a doting look in his eyes, leaving only a faint familiarity,
"What do you want?"
Seeing that the father who loved her in the past put on a negotiation appearance at this time, the princess still throbbed a little although she expected it,
"Father, I don't understand! I'm your only daughter! Don't you think about it for me? Why do you want to calculate him, it won't do you me any good! In the future, my son will be the king of our two countries, and there is no need to calculate it like this! What are you for?! Can you tell me? β
Visa's expression was painful, it seemed that she couldn't figure it out for a long time, "I originally planned to join forces with Rochester to get rid of the archrival Duke of Windsor, and then kill Rochester to put you on the throne, but unfortunately the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, I didn't expect Windsor to be so strong, even if I joined forces with Rochester, I couldn't beat him." β
These Visas have guessed that there is no need for the king to say it again, is the king hiding something? Looking at the expressionless father Wang Weiza, she suddenly felt chills all over her body, and she finally realized that her father was not an ordinary father, he was the king of a country!
The king continued, his tone becoming a little warmer,
"But, after all, you are my own daughter, and Rochester is your beloved, and I will find a way to save his life."
Visa sat slumped on the ground, his face pale, the meaning of his father's words had completely killed the possibility of sending troops to help, without his father's support, Rochester would soon be defeated, and he would have committed suicide!
"Please, Father! Please, send troops! Father! Father! I'm not going to live if he's dead! β
The good daughter who has been held in the palm of his hand since he was a child, even if he really wants to be vague, watching Visa heartbroken and wailing on his thighs, the king was shaken for a moment, but when he remembered the little soft figure, his heart was instantly soft, and all the softness in his heart turned into nothing,
"Come on, the princess is tired, help me down!"
Mourning is greater than heart death, and when Vesa saw that the plea could not make her father change her mind, she had extreme thoughts, and she let the maids leave half-supported and half-dragged, with only one thought in her heart, death. If Rochester died, she would never have lived.
The food on the table is steaming hot, but the brothers and sisters sitting around the table are frowning.
"The princess hasn't come back yet, it seems that she has failed!"
It was Moses who spoke, and because the war was still unsettled, the prince could not be crowned, so the title of Visa was only the princess.
"I thought King Visa was a loving father, but now it seems that it is just a hypocrisy, and he only cares about himself at this point."
Ero was annoyed by his miscalculation, knowing that Visa was so useless, he should have accepted Cinderella in the first place, and now he could use her to threaten his good brother-in-law, the Duke of Windsor.
"We tried our best, but I didn't expect Windsor to be so powerful, and I was inferior to him militarily."
Talking about the helpless admission of defeat, Rochester didn't know how much bitterness he felt in his heart, he was the rightful heir to the throne, but he didn't expect Windsor to spread rumors that his father was seeking power to kill his brother, he didn't believe it anyway, how could his father and the former king have such a good relationship with the first king? He must have made it up to slander himself.
"Brother! You can't be discouraged! This Windsor's many years of experience in the war is much more abundant than yours to take advantage of him, isn't he slandering his father? We also ruined his reputation, and what the warriors of the kingdom thought of him when we saw him! β
Rochester heard what Ero was saying and urged her to come out and let him and Moses see if they could do it.
"This so-called god of war is notorious, and we have seized on this to expand it."
"How?"
"Humph! Slaughter the city! β
Suppressed by the word slaughter, Rochester's legs were weak and he could barely sit steadily, after all, Moses had done a lot of bad things, and he had a strong psychological endurance, Rao was also pale, and the two did not speak, and Ero could see from their performance that both of them disagreed,
"Woman's kindness! Could it be that my brother wants to give up the throne to a traitor?! Father is watching from heaven! He will surely send the people who have died for their country to heaven! β
HΓ©rault adds another fire, and is bound to convince his brother to agree to the slaughter of the city, and only by taking risks can great things be accomplished!
Rochester had some fierce struggles in his heart, as if there were two villains arguing inside, and one lured him to agree to the slaughter of the city, which was the most direct way for him to keep the throne, and then the whole country would blame Windsor, even if he lost the hearts of the people no matter how strong his army was, it was nothing! The other dissuades him from listening to his sister is an endless abyss, which will not only bury himself, but also affect tens of thousands of innocent beings, so won't he become a big devil? After death, you will go to hell!
"Ah!!! Yes!! β
Rochester seemed to collapse, roaring repeatedly, Ero was distressed to see his brother's painful appearance, but she couldn't help it, it was also for her brother's good, I hope he can figure it out.
"Brother is too kind, Moses do what I say, brother, for the sake of his father, he will definitely figure it out!"
"Yes! Her Royal Highness the Princess. β
