Xia Xin felt Luo Shuixian's little hand holding his chest trembling, his shoulders trembling, his whole body trembling slightly, and he could even hear her sobbing quietly.

This made Xia Xin a little confused, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Luo Shuixian is such a strong person, is he actually crying?

What did Elizabeth say to her?

Luo Shuixian's suppressed voice sounded, "I thought it was ...... I have long accepted this result, I have long understood, and I no longer have any expectations for her, but when I saw her sick look, took my hand, and begged me to pass on the century-old royal family, I suddenly found that she was old. ”

"She's not as youthful as she looks on the outside, her body is ...... It's really old, she's not as strict as before, and she doesn't have that majesty anymore, it looks ...... It's like a candle that is about to go out at any moment. “

"It wasn't until that moment that I knew that I still had expectations for her, longing for her approval, longing for this home, where everyone sat down to chat, and ate together."

Luo Shuixian found that he was not as strong and determined as he imagined.

Her strength, in a few words from Elizabeth, crumbled.

Knowing that she would not get anything from Elizabeth, let alone the home she expected, she had no way to refuse any request from the other party, but looking at her frail mother, she had no way to refuse any request from the other party.

After all, she still hopes to get some family warmth from her mother, or rather, even if there is a little family feeling.

"I feel so useless...... Woo~"

“……”

Xia Xin didn't know what to say at all.

How can I comfort her?

In the final analysis, Xia Xin didn't understand, why was she crying, what was there to cry about?

Because Xia Xin no longer has parents, although he once wanted to get his father's approval, but that is no longer possible, Xia Xin can still recognize the reality clearly, and he will no longer think about his parents, it is just to increase his sadness.

Therefore, he couldn't understand Luo Shuixian's feelings.

Looking at Luo Shuixian in his arms, taking off his strong disguise, and crying softly, Xia Xin found that he was actually still a little heartbroken.

He wants everyone around him to be happy, and he doesn't like to see people sad and sad.

Xia Xin has experienced a big setback in life, so he can appreciate the preciousness of life more than ordinary people, the preciousness of life, and this precious life should be spent in happiness.

Xia Xin stretched out his hand and gently patted Luo Shuixian's back, feeling the heat of Luo Shuixian's body.

Then, comforting softly, "It's okay, it's all over." ”

These are actually two very perfunctory sentences.

Because he didn't know what to say.

"I want to ...... This kind of relationship should be normal, no matter how I quarreled with my parents, and even I hated my father in the past, but if I asked me to do something, no matter what, I would do it, probably, this is flesh and blood affection, it's just ,...... I have lost my parents for a long time, and I don't dare to think about my parents, and there is nothing wrong with cherishing the people who are alive in front of me. ”

She ...... What else to say? ”

Luo Shuixian sobbed softly and said, "Dark Council." ”

“……”

These four words made Xia Xin's eyes widen and his breathing was suppressed.

She said the Dark Council...... What is it for? ”

Luo Shuixian sobbed twice again, and then whispered, "Join the Dark Council and continue the century-old heritage of our royal family, as long as the Dark Council is there, no one can disobey our rule." ”

"She told me about my brother Adam, even if he is a genius born in 10,000 years, even if he has the support of the people of the whole country, even if he is a genius, even if he has the world's leading technology and half of the country's army, but in front of the Dark Council, he is still vulnerable!"

She said...... The elder brother went the wrong way and was unwilling to be loyal to the Dark Council, and this is the result of him. ”

“……”

Xia Xin paused before asking, "And then." ”

"Then she begged me, saying that she was no longer good and might die, even if she could live, at least a few years or even a dozen or twenty years, and there would be no way to manage state affairs, and she said that she valued me the most and hoped that I would replace her and protect the country."

"She needs me, to join the Dark Council."

“……”

Xia Xin said in his heart, sure enough...... That's right.

But that's not all.

Luo Shuixian said, burying his hot little face into Xia Xin's chest, burying it deeper.

I cried for a while before I said.

"Also, she asked me to marry Bivis."

“……”

"Beavis is a watchman arranged by the Dark Council,...... But he will not affect our royal family, and he will assist me, and at the same time, our country can also get the help of the Dark Council, which is necessary to join the Dark Council. ”

Suddenly, Xia Xin's mood was extremely complicated, and he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know what to feel.

"And you're ...... How so? ”

"Mother said that as long as I agreed to marry Bivis, she would make the other party voluntarily give up the duel with you, and you would ...... too"

"You...... Promised? ”

Xia Xin felt that his words were also a little hoarse.

Then, Luo Shuixian was in Xia Xin's arms and nodded slightly, "You don't have to worry about the duel anymore!" ”

This made Xia Xin pat her back and pause.

I opened my mouth, but I couldn't say anything.

Luo Shuixian raised her little face slightly, her beautiful eyes were already covered with tears, and her eyes were red, but she tried to look at Xia Xin with her eyes open.

"I'm useless, I can't refuse my mother who is so weak, she said, only I can protect this country and our family's ancestral inheritance." ”

On Luo Shuixian's thin shoulders, she bears the rise and fall of a family and the rise and fall of a kingdom, and the burden is too heavy, and she can't breathe.

No matter how strong she is on the outside and how good her ability is, her heart is only a little girl in her twenties, who needs to be loved, loved, and cared for in the palm of her hand, however, she already needs one person to bear the weight of a country, and no one can even share it for her.

Her mother's weakened vision, the survival of the entire family, and the continuation of the kingdom all forced her to compromise.

No one can be her pillar and say a word for her.

Even if...... Her current titular husband.

Luo Shuixian just opened a pair of beautiful eyes of different colors, and stared at Xia Xindao without blinking, "Then ......, you can also be free." “

“……”

Xia Xinne didn't speak.

Luo Shuishui's jewel-like beautiful eyes seemed to exude a strange light in the dark night, which looked very moving, but in its beautiful brilliance, there was a heart-wrenching sadness.

He just stared at Xia Xin's eyes, as if he wanted to imprint Xia Xin's gaze in his mind, as if he wanted to see the meaning of Xia Xin's gaze more clearly, and said softly, "This is what I took the initiative to promise, so you don't need to be responsible anymore, you don't need to do it now, ...... later." It's no longer needed. ”

"You know, I don't like hypocrisy, secretive stuff when I find out that I ...... I like you, I'll admit it, though, I don't know when it started. ”

"But, I think I really like you,...... At the same time, I also know that you have a sense of responsibility to me, but you don't like me, but I am very proud, I am also very confident in myself, I feel that I am not inferior to anyone in all aspects, I don't mind comparing myself with others, I think you will find out my good and like me sooner or later. ”

Luo Shuixian said this, no longer crying, but smiled softly, it was a beautiful and moving, but heart-wrenching shallow smile, "Now that I think about it, I suddenly found that this kind of selfish and wishful thinking is actually a burden for you." ”

"Later,...... No, it won't. ”

“……”

Xia Xin wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything again.

"There's no duel anymore, and so do you...... There is no burden, and there is no responsibility for me, this is what I promised myself, it is my own choice, Xia Xin...... You're also free, you can ...... I returned home early. ”

“……”

Xia Xin just looked at Luo Shuixian blankly, paused for a long time, opened his lips several times, closed it again, and finally said only one word.

"Hmm!"
