Chapter 41: Let my father marry me to you
The face under the mask of 'Zhilan' is the real eleventh princess of Nanrong.
The marriage between Shangyin and Nanrong is a necessary policy, but the eleventh princess Rong Rong already has a sweetheart, and she is unwilling to use her life as a bargaining chip for the transaction between the two countries.
Things have to start two months ago, when the marriage was a foregone conclusion, and the resignation could only be washed with tears every day.
Rong Rongci, as the eleventh princess of Nanrong, like all the princes and princesses of the Nanrong royal family, has two closest people. One is Fran, who serves her daily life and trivial matters, and the other is the guard with high martial arts skills who is responsible for her safety: Shen Luo.
Fran was raised in the palace since she was a child, and she grew up with Rong Wangci, and they were very close, and the two also knew each other, and there was no secret.
Shen Luo is different, she is a killer cultivated by the moon mask.
Moon Occultation, a mysterious killer organization that has been associated with the Nanjung royal family since ancient times.
The killers in the moon occult have been adopted by the organization almost since childhood, even as infants, and most of them are orphans who have lost their parents in the war. After entering the lunar occultation, those who have been recognized by the upper echelons and have the talent to practice martial arts and are old enough will be sealed in a specific place and become official killers for three years of training.
This training is only an introductory assessment, after the training is over, only five to seven people will be left to enter the next layer of training for five years, after five years, the final assessment results will be sent to the Nanjung royal family, and the Nanjung king will assign guards to his sons and daughters.
Shen Luo is the guard who was divided and accommodated.
Rong Rongci is the favorite daughter of Rong Ting, the king of Nanrong, and Shen Luo is the strongest one among the new generation of killers in the moon mask.
This kind of training seems to be just hard work, but in fact it is both physical and mental torture.
People who can survive eight years of training together will have more or less some feelings, but feelings have always been a taboo for killers.
After becoming the guard of different princes and princesses, the once familiar companions, because they protect different lords, are destined to become your rivals to the death, just like the heirs of the royal family.
The calculations and battles between the heirs to the throne are the calculations and battles of the guards, and whether or not they have supported each other in the past, once they become the guards, once they start to fight for power and profit, the old friendship can only disappear and be regarded as a broken dream in another life.
As the strongest killer, such a friend and enemy, Shen Luo naturally knows more than others, so her heart is colder and harder than others.
When Rong Elegiac washed his face with tears, all forces of the Nanrong royal family still did not give up suppressing her. Assassination, poisoning, framing...... The calculations that followed were what Shen Sunset dealt with, and gradually, she felt that such a never-ending situation was not a solution.
Shen Luo knew very well that Rong Wangci did not want to inherit the throne, and her threats to others were all from the favor of Wang Rongting and the groundless rumors in the palace.
After thinking about it, Shen Luo offered to take the initiative to go to Shangyin to marry instead of Rong Wang.
"Ah Luo, no, I can't do this, you've done enough for me, I can't let you sacrifice the rest of your life."
Shen Luo looked at the princess she had been protecting in front of her, and just hooked the corner of her mouth that didn't smile often: "I have been a moon mask killer all my life, and there are many dangers in Nanrong, if I go to Shangyin instead of you, these dangers will leave with me, and you quietly leave the palace and live in seclusion with your sweetheart, but it is safer." ”
Rong didn't speak for a long time, thinking of the various scars on Shen Luo's body, those words of rejection suddenly became high-sounding, so that she couldn't speak.
After a while, Rong Rongci nodded.
"Ah Luo, you will be the eleventh princess of Nanrong in the future, let me excuse you."
Shen Luo softened his gaze slightly: "You will always be my Royal Highness the Princess." ”
The marriage is approaching, although the king is distressed, but Nanrong only has such a princess of the right age, and she has no choice.
Fortunately, the eleventh princess, who was depressed all day long, gradually stopped crying, and she seemed to have finally accepted her mission as a princess - glory and wealth are one, and the pillow is a choice.
The past cannot be traced.
Shen Luo looked at Rong Rongci, who was wearing the clothes of a maid in front of him, and his face showed the fierce and forbearant look he had when he was a guard, instead of a weak foreign princess.
"Princess... What are you doing here? ”
Hearing Shen Luo call her a princess again, Rong Rong's tears immediately burst out of her eyes: "Aluo Fulan, I have wronged you......"
Fran also had red eyes, stepped forward, hugged the real princess tightly, and in the next second, tears had fallen.
Among the three, only Shen Luo still retained his senses, frowned and asked, "But that man treats you badly?" ”
Rong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand and smiled gently at Shen Luo: "Silly Aluo, no, it's just that I can't let go of you in my heart, so I can't help but come to see you." ”
Shen Luo's face changed, and he suddenly knelt down on one knee and saluted: "The princess just bowed to me, it's really inappropriate." ”
Shen Luo was about to bow down, and Rong Wangci grabbed Shen Luo's arm. A weak woman actually dragged Shen Luo for a while, afraid that Rong Rongci would not be able to stand steadily, so Shen Luo stood up and supported Rong Rongci with his hand.
Before Shen Luo could speak, Rong Rongci opened his mouth first: "Since you married in place of me, then you are the righteous princess regent, and it is only natural for me to salute you." ”
After thinking for a moment, Shen Luo lowered his voice: "Although the regent has a deep mind, he is still a person who can be trusted at the moment, and if the princess needs it, he can become the princess regent at any time." ”
When he heard this, Fran's eyebrows unconsciously raised, and his heart was a little sour, I don't know if he was feeling sorry for Shen Luo, or seeing Shen Luo so free and easy, he was sad for Su.
Fran unusually restrained her expression and didn't show her thoughts, and Shen Luo's heart was not without waves.
She is also nostalgic, nostalgic for this feeling of being protected, but she knows better that these do not belong to her in the first place. The warmth that does not belong to you, the more you covet it, the more you will lose it, so it is better not to be tempted from the beginning.
Rong Rongci didn't know what Shen Luo was thinking, but he glanced at Shen Luo with some resentment: "What nonsense are you talking about?" I didn't want it at the beginning, and now I won't come to rob you, even if I am so miserable and lonely. ”
Shen Luo wanted to say, but Rong Elegy didn't give him a chance: "Ah Luo, you know who I am, if I only want to seek shelter and entrust, why did I escape from the palace in the first place?" If you want to say the most trustworthy person, then I should have asked for the will from the beginning, so that my father would marry me to you. ”
Having said this, Shen Luo's expression finally loosened a little, and a smile appeared in his eyes: "If the king allows it, and the princess is also willing, then I will naturally act according to orders and will never disappoint." ”
Rong Rongci and Fran glanced at each other, and Shen Luo also made a joke, indicating that she was also relieved.
Shen Luo was relieved not by the side, but by the princess she worked so hard to protect, and now it was not because she was having a bad time to 'defect' to her, but because she was doing well, and wanted to see if her friends were as happy as her.
