Once the seeds of love are sown, then as long as there is no sea and no rocks rotting, the day of 'flowering' and fruition will surely come.

On the first night back to the city of Birty, Albert's residence welcomes an unexpected visitor, Catherine, the 'lady' of Claudia, Count of Destiny, does not shy away from suspicion and asks to talk to the Duke of Borot.

After telling each other how much they missed, the two young men could hardly restrain the 'excited' and 'swinging' hearts in their chests, and they were both bathed in love, and lingered all night.

Once the last line of defense has been broken between young lovers, then a honeymoon period ensues, indulging in the pleasures of the flesh and inextricating themselves.

Albert does things alone, he doesn't want to hide anything from Mrs. Charlotte, but he straightforwardly treats Catherine as his fiancée. He leaves Claudia and the "spirit" and "girl" king aside, and buries them with Catherine's love.

Lady Charlotte was a reasonable elder, and from the time she first met Catherine in the Bilti Chapel, she had already felt that this girl had a peculiar temperament of gentleness, and she would not force her son to marry a noble lady or something, because she herself was from a poor background. Albert, as the ruler of the Grand Duchy, had only one criterion for marrying a wife, and that was to be in love.

Catherine pondered a lot of questions during the three months she was separated from Albert. The destiny of a woman's life is always to find a good man, even Claudia, who is a noble count, will not be able to escape this fateful arrangement in the end, no matter how good the sisters are, they will go their separate ways, not to mention the relationship between their masters and servants, Claudia's great ambition, which stabbed Catherine's nerves again and again, the gap between the two of them is getting bigger and bigger, and the scene of nothing to talk about can no longer occur. As a weak 'girl' who is helpless, her only wealth is her own youth. And Albert happened to be true love with her, and in this case, Catherine, who was on the disadvantaged side, had to make up her mind to take the initiative in exchange for a lifetime of happiness.

Her gamble was successful, and instead of abandoning her, Albert made the relationship open to everyone in the shortest possible time, and from then on, Catherine was almost equal to Claudia, and she no longer had to think of the Duke silently with a lovesick heart, and the two of them could be openly intimate in public, for they had become one according to God's will.

Tarren Crawford, the military advisor, was overjoyed by the lust of the young duke, who, like Benedict, was always haunted by the young duke's unruly love affair with the 'spirit' and 'daughter' king in the Danse Forest.

The Duke of Kentan, in order to show his sincerity in negotiating, was also very appreciative of Albert and Catherine's sudden public affair, and the ring on his hand was left untouched, because it would be extremely difficult and dangerous to remove it without the aid of special magic.

The ring, too, caused Catherine a great deal of suspicion, and she and Albert had never tried to hide anything since they had been in a substantial relationship, but the young duke had apparently not done so, and he had been very secretive about his months in the Danse Forest, and had done so cursory in each passing hand, and had no way of convincing Catherine.

The beautiful girl, who had known the hardships of life since she was a child, decided to have a long talk with her lover. She took out the amulet that she had silently treasured for many years and handed it to Albert and said: "This thing is said to be the only thing my biological mother left me.

Albert took it in his hand and examined it closely, and saw that it was a humanoid doll with outstretched arms, and the head was engraved with several proverbs such as "Know, do, and do good". The naked arms and shoulders show a skinny appearance.

"It's hard to imagine this is your talisman." Albert shook his head and said, with a look of pity on his face. My mother once prepared a similar thing for me, but then I don't know where I left it. I believe in these things, I don't believe in them, I don't believe in them, I don't have them, the creation of the world is amazing, but now the people living in the world are very ordinary, as a duke, I have to take care of the feelings of the majority, so the belief in erudition is inevitable, but I would like to tell you the truth, I will always have a skeptical attitude about everything about it."

Catherine didn't expect that Xiao Ah would string the conversation into this aspect, and she had to 'spend' some time to re-guide again: "My lord, no matter what you decide in the future, I will follow your side, if you have any worries or unspeakable words, just confide in me, since we are about to become husband and wife, we should support each other and help each other, because there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome."

Albert understands what his lover means, but he can't always dig out the story of his affair with the 'spirit' and 'daughter' king. In that case, nothing good will come of it. Excessive honesty can sometimes be bad, and it is impossible for two people who have a similar heart to each other to have no personal space and privacy. He is a duke, and his status is very high, and he has a natural and powerful advantage in front of Catherine, and Catherine can rely on him, but Xiao Ah cannot have corresponding thoughts, which is in some ways, in fact, more pathetic, because the choice Albert has to face is not only related to his own fate and future, but also directly affects the future of the entire duchy and even the entire Tamborance Empire.

Under this terrible prevarication and stalemate, the two hearts in love felt a little cool for the first time. They both discovered such a fact at the same time. Even if they are husband and wife with skin to skin, it is impossible to achieve true unity of the two. The harmony and unity of the spirit and the 'flesh' will only be reflected in the pen of the literati and ink writers.

Catherine decides to retreat for a while, fearing that she will lose her feelings and have to compromise.

The young girl's mind was quite sharp, and she immediately thought of talking to Mrs. Charlotte, and while Albert and the Duke of Kentan were busy discussing state affairs, a philosophical discussion began between the two 'women' who were about to become mother-in-law.

Mrs. Charlotte was a passer-by, and she was well aware of the difficulties that the little girl had to face. The gap between men and women would have taken dozens of books to cover if they had been written. Albert was her son, but he had grown up after all. Everyone's thoughts and personalities were different, and even people carved out of the same mold would be very different because of the nuances of their surroundings.

Catherine felt that she had to confide in her future mother-in-law, or else her relationship with Albert would regress, and she mustered up her courage and said in a normal tone, "Duke, he has nothing to say to me, but every time he touches the situation in the Danse Forest, he will show a 'face' of embarrass......ment.

"Good boy, you are doing the right thing, don't hold back any grievances in your heart, just come and tell me, it's inevitable that young lovers bump into each other, and I know what you said, a dignified duke, or an unmarried beautiful man, where will it not cause a fragrant 'glamorous' story." Mrs. Charlotte pinched Catherine's nose like a naughty child, and continued. Men are different from us 'women'. They are born to do great things.They don't spend most of the 365 days a year being pregnant.They don't suffer any consequences for their own misdeeds at certain times.They are the first to be created by God.And we 'women' are just a rib in their body.Albert is my son.I know him the best.He's a good boy like you.It's unlikely that you'll be able to get into trouble with 'flowers' easily.' Do something unfaithful to you."

Catherine blushed and hurriedly waved her hand to show that she didn't mean it.

Mrs. Charlotte stroked her forehead and smiled: "We 'women' always have many beautiful fantasies. But men are often controlled by the demons in purgatory in this regard.Although they sometimes try to restrain themselves intellectually.But the sudden burst of emotions is like a flood of beasts.It can drown it in an instant.I will continue to ask you about it.You don't have to be too petty.He is now the ruler of a principality.If you are divided for this little thing.Then it will be difficult for you to come together.Listen to me.Whether you have it or not.Don't think about him anymore.Let him pass the past.Okay.”

Catherine nodded reluctantly, after all, it was already beyond her expectation that they could push each other's hearts to such an extent.

'Want' to know what's going on, and continue next time.
