Chapter 7 Thrushcross Lodge
The relationship between Thrushcross Lodge and the rulers of Hope is very unusual.
The 'woman' host, Hydra, had been ill for nearly a year, and Richard had personally visited him three times.
Some people have speculated that these two people may be a real couple, but love is such a thing, and it is never just a superficial thing, and it is not so much that King Richard cares about Hydra, but that he wants to continue the political tradition that has been handed down.
Hydra's powerful ancestors, with the convenience of being close to the royal family, made Thrushcross Villa a tiger and a tiger.
There is a market for power everywhere, whether it's on the Bodi continent or on the islands of the Land of Projectiles.
If Hydra had been a male 'sexual' heir, then perhaps a civil war would have broken out in Hope.
Richard was quite lucky.Thrush Cottage, which had always had a thriving heir, gradually became a little stretched thin in Hydra's father's generation.Many powerful and ambitious family members have died surprisingly early.The current 'female' owner is also likely to die with their footsteps.It was only Benedict's accidental appearance that suddenly subverted this seemingly inevitable ending.
......
Although Ben and Vanentin each encountered some unexpected things and were delayed for a while, Damasus was not too worried, but since they were all the Pope's right-hand men, they had always been very reliable, and there were never any mistakes.
It wasn't until King Richard summoned him himself that the Pope learned that Benedict had fallen ill from exhaustion in order to heal the 'hostess' of Thrushcross Heights, and that the young king had received an invitation from Hydra to visit the manor with some of the most prominent men on Hope Island.
Maria, the chief of the Knights of the Purple Rose, the chief staff officer of the kingdom, Forss, and Frederick, the bravest general, all attended the celebratory banquet at Thrushcross Height.
What a hot scene it was.
The villagers in the neighborhood sang and danced, and the children who could just walk grabbed a lot of delicious food and chased each other and frolicked with each other.
There was not a hint of gloom in the whole manor, and even Benedict, who had not yet recovered his health, showed an unusual smile.
The 'female' host, Hydra, is one of the brightest stars.For the first time in more than a year, she is dressed so attractively.Her royal blue 'color' pure eyes are like shining stars in the night sky.It is effortless to make onlookers 'fascinated'.Although her figure is not tall, she looks extremely elegant against the backdrop of a white 'colored' skirt.This should be the most fashionable way to wear.On the Bodie continent.Few serious 'women' will 'show' their whole little 'legs' on such occasions Hydra dared to do so, and was happy to do so. Her father was a very enlightened man, or a man with a unique knack for educating his children, and he never overemphasized the 'sexual' element, neither pampered Hydra as a little princess, nor did he try to make her look like a tomboy because she was the sole heir to Thrushcross Heights.
There's a saying that goes.' Women want to be rich and men to be poor.At least in Hydra.It's a good way to confirm this sentence.With huge financial support.She is kind and charitable.She can show enough love or compassion for everyone.Although she is sometimes aristocratic.But she is wittily interpreted by those who are good at flattery and pandering to it as the destiny of heaven.Because the owner of such a large manor.If he is kind and quiet, he will definitely be bullied.The bigger the family business, the more it needs to be governed with an iron fist.
Thankfully, Hydra is not soft, and she is also very smart, so she thinks very thoroughly about the meaning of her life and what she should and shouldn't do, and so on.
Whether or not she and King Richard saw each other was a question of great concern to all the people in the manor, after all, the 'woman' owner was getting older and older, and if she didn't marry, she would become an old girl.
When Hydra came to King Richard to salute, the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became a little delicate, and everyone was pretending to be casual on the surface, but in fact they were silently watching the development of the situation.
I saw that the young king leaned down slightly, and helped Hydra who was bent down on his knees with both hands: "Sister doesn't have to make this big gift, we are all a family.
"Your Majesty, brother, you must have been a little tired from being disturbed by state affairs lately, I have a lot of fresh lychees here, and you must be able to re-appreciate the joy of life in addition to refreshing your taste."
As Hydra spoke, he had a smile on his face.
Richard, however, did not look her in the eye, because it was a trap for him, and as a young man it was easy to be led by instinct, and he loved to be educated, and had long been determined that he had to make a career before the age of forty, and only when this long-cherished wish was fulfilled would he consider finding a wife and starting a family.
But he is the king of Hope Island.The question of the heir is a tight spell.Firmly bound to him.Richard can only duplicitously find an opportunity to prevaricate in order to avoid all kinds of soft grinding and gossip.Every time he finds an opportunity to prevaricate the past.
The same is true of the situation today, when he and Hydra had just spoken a few polite words, and some of the guys on the side began to cheer one after another, and the great strategist Forth, as one of the representatives, said respectfully and with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, the scenery of Thrushcross Mountain is beautiful, and the products are abundant.
"yes, yes." The burly, bearded, bearded Richard Edric also took advantage of the situation.
Maria, the Grand Master of the Knights of the Purple Rose, just nodded slightly on the side because of her 'sex' relationship, and she seemed to be in favor of His Majesty's early marriage.
Hydra has a crush on Richard, but it's hard to say that it's necessarily love, or even love, and I'm afraid it's not enough to talk about marriage.
The status of Thrushcross Lodge on the whole island of Hope is too high, and it can be said that no other nobleman who can be counted is qualified to be a match for the Hydra 'Gate', and only King Richard is left with the right to do it.
This was the consensus of all, but it was not the young girl's idea, and on several occasions she had taken the initiative to gossip with some young men from the neighbouring villages for more than a few hours.
There are two sides to everything, Hydra is free to make all kinds of friends as she wants, but it is difficult for others to really connect with her, especially in terms of feelings, financial assistance, and job promotion.
The main reason why Hope Island is able to stay on the road and stay open at night is that people are content to stick to their own class, they have no aggressive or expansionist thoughts in their natural 'nature', they are even extremely conservative in some respects, they are full of love for everything in their native country, and all overly 'aggressive' behavior is blamed and reprimanded.
Hydra's status is so high that even if the lads were genuinely affectionate, they would only endure it in their hearts, and they would never be able to express it.
Time flies, time flies, Hydra is delayed again and again, sometimes she may have a heart-pounding feeling, but the other party does not appreciate it, sometimes other people's families suddenly find it difficult to help themselves.' Kiss her, but then suddenly become cold, to Hydra's eyes, this may be a little inexplicable, but it is clear to the onlooker, that the title of Thrushcross Lodge makes it impossible for her to have a chance to find true love, because love is vulnerable in the face of reality, she can only be united with King Richard, in order to ensure a happy future, and only by uniting with Richard, can the cottage survive.
No one ever said these things to Hydra's face, because they thought it was self-evident, but at this point, the young girl was the most typical of the others.
......
The atmosphere of the banquet became more and more intense, but unfortunately the fly in the ointment was that the relationship between King Richard and Hydra did not seem to be as harmonious and intimate as one might expect.
When the polite words were finished, Richard's face seemed to be frozen by the temperature of minus 30 degrees, and he no longer tried to give the overly enthusiastic Hydra a good look.
He's a bit like Emperor Elliot, the second, who can throw everything away for his own cause. Of course, the young King of Hope hasn't done it so absolutely, he's still not completely crazy.
The old man Benedict, who was in a weak state, leaned back and looked at the little couple of enemies, and involuntarily thought of his son. Albert even remembered his farewell to Tonya.
In the world, what is right is true, I am afraid that only God can know for sure.
'Want' to know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
