Chapter 181: The Princess's Marriage Contract
The two had now returned to school from the palace, and after a conversation with Anies, Sikong Xu learned that Anrietta, or Her Royal Highness the Princess, would be attending tomorrow's Demon Tasting Tournament hosted by the Academy of Magic.
In layman's terms, this is a show of the Demon, and the second-year students who have just summoned the Demonic will let the Demon's talent show off their talents in this competition and compete for the rankings.
After learning the news, Sikong Xu also told Anrita and Anies about the speculation that Fukai would come to steal the Staff of Destruction during the tasting.
Although the other party said that the possibility was very low, he still promised to send people to increase the intensity of guards.
"Na...... Sikong Xu......"
"Huh? What's wrong?" Sikong Xu looked curiously at Louise, who was sitting on the edge of the bed in the dormitory and fiddling with her little feet, this was the first time she had called her name so formally.
"You say, as a princess of a country, will you have the right to love freely?"
"Free Love...... What the hell did the princess talk to you......" Sikong Xu said helplessly.
"Oh, you don't care so much, just answer my questions seriously."
"As a princess of a country, of course you have the right to love freely."
"But why is Her Royal Highness the princess so troubled?"
"Khan ...... So, what did Her Royal Highness tell you?"
I saw that Louise bit her pink and seductive lips lightly, looking like she wanted to say something, and then she sighed and said, "Just yesterday, the prince of Garmania and the prince of Albion proposed to the princess at the same time. ”
"Propose?" Sikong Xu was taken aback.
He vaguely remembered that Galmania was located in the northeast of Torristin, and was the largest and most militarily powerful kingdom in the entire continent of Halckinia.
Albion, also known as the "White Kingdom", is a kingdom floating in the air, and its country's air and military power is also one of the best in the whole of Harquekinia.
"It turns out that Her Royal Highness the princess left you behind to confide in you about this." Sikong Xu shrugged his shoulders a little uncomfortably, he didn't remember such a plot in the original book.
"Yes...... Louise was a little depressed, "Torristeen is only a small country, and if the kingdom wants to avoid war, it can only rely on the powerful ones. ”
"Therefore, the princess marrying away from another country is the best way to promote the relationship between the two sides." Sikong Xu shook his head, this kind of thing is very common under the feudal system, so he only looks at this matter from the perspective of a bystander.
"However, shouldn't Her Royal Highness the Princess be very willing to marry Albion? Although recently there has been civil strife in Albiang. Thinking of the love affair between Ann Rietta and the Prince of Wales of Albion in the original book, Sikong Xu said naturally.
"Hah! What nonsense are you talking about?" Unexpectedly, Louise glanced at Sikong Xu with the eyes of the mentally retarded, "Albion's civil strife has long been suppressed, and now we are making every effort to hunt down the felons who caused the civil unrest."
And although the Prince of Wales of Albion and Her Royal Highness the Princess are cousins, this does not mean that Her Royal Highness wants to marry Albian!"
Louise's words took Sikong Xu by surprise, and the development of things seemed to be somewhat confused with the original book he knew.
In the original book, it was originally the princess of Ann Rietta who married Galmania, but because she had an inexplicable love affair with the Prince of Wales of Albiang, the political marriage was canceled.
And now, the romance between Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Prince of Wales suddenly and inexplicably disappeared.
"I really can't fully believe in the original work...... Sikong Xu covered his face and sighed, although being familiar with the plot of the original book is an advantage, but the reality will eventually change due to his arrival, and it seems that he can't rely too much on the advantage of knowing the original book in the future.
"What about the princess? Her own wishes are ......," Sikong Xu asked.
"Marrying someone you don't like, how can Her Royal Highness the princess be willing!"
"So these two marriages are yellow?"
"No, it's not ......" Louise's voice suddenly weakened, "For the sake of Torlistine, Her Royal Highness the Princess must marry a country...... Yes...... I'm so annoyed, is there any way to avoid this!"
"Yes."
"I also know it's impossible...... Wait, you say there's a way?"
"Yes, as long as Her Royal Highness the princess inherits the throne and becomes the queen, I believe that no country will marry its own queen, right?"
Torlistine's throne had been vacant for a long time, and if Ann Rietta could inherit the throne, she would be spared such a fate.
"However, inheriting the throne is not such a simple matter...... Her Royal Highness does have the qualifications to inherit the throne, but it needs to be respected by a large number of people......"
Louise slowly explained to Sikong Xu the state of Toristine, it turned out that although the previous king died young, he had a lot of achievements.
Toristine's previous king was not only the strongest magician of the time, but he was also very politically competent.
It took him just three years to grow Torristeen from a small, poor and backward country to the prosperous and prosperous country it is today...... Uh, it's still a small country.
Although the size of the country did not increase due to the efforts of the previous king, the lives of the people were greatly improved, and today Torlistine has almost reached the point where everyone can have enough to eat.
That's why the people loved the previous king, and that's why Torristeen hasn't been on the throne for a long time.
In the past few years when no one has inherited the throne, the royal family has not thought of setting up a new king or queen, but because the glory of the previous king is too dazzling, the people do not support it at all, so it can only be shelved until now and no throne has been established.
"I see...... "After listening to Louise's explanation, Sikong Xu nodded thoughtfully, and didn't say anything more.
He just put forward one of his own ideas, as for whether Princess An Rietta marries or not, it doesn't matter to him where she marries, and now Sikong Xu only needs to start completing the side quest to capture Fukai.
"Ah...... In the end, I still can't solve the princess's worries!" Louise rolled on the bed with her head covered.
"If only there was any way to increase the prestige of Her Royal Highness the princess among the people...... That's right, Fukai!"
Louise suddenly stood up and said excitedly, "If we can catch Fukai for Her Royal Highness......
"Sorry, it's useless." Before Louise finished speaking, Sikong Xu unceremoniously interrupted her, and the simple thoughts in her heart Sikong Xu didn't need to think about it.
"It is absolutely unrealistic to want to arrest Fukai to increase the prestige of the princess, first of all, it is the nobles who are bothering Fukai, and it is none of their business for ordinary commoners whether the nobles' treasures are stolen or not.
Secondly, even if it can increase the prestige of the princess, it will not reach the point of being respected by the people. ”
Sikong Xu sighed.
"What else can be done?" Louise was rolling frantically on the bed with a pillow, her childhood sweetheart was going to marry a bastard she didn't like, and she was angry when she thought about it.
"Or let Her Royal Highness the princess do the same thing as the previous king."
"How is this possible!"
"Then there will be only war......"
