35 The Witch and the Princess
Under the bright sun, two tall figures walked side by side in the palace garden.
The one on the left of the two was wearing a luxurious snow-white silk dress, with blond hair coiled up, and an elegant and dignified temperament.
The one on the right is dressed in a dove-gray waist-length robe and slim breeches, with black hair and black eyes, full of mystery, looking handsome and charming.
At a cursory glance, they resemble a young couple.
However, anyone who knows the identities of these two people will know that they are actually a mother and daughter.
Stepmother and stepdaughter.
"I recently watched Emperor Ronan's painting of Gorgacetaff during the time of Port Helliggen, and I admired the style of the painting, but after consulting the relevant texts, there was a question that I could never figure out."
During the walk, the black-haired and black-eyed stepdaughter said slowly: "Considering that the queen mother is the direct bloodline of Emperor Ronan, she should know some secrets, so I came to you on purpose." Maybe you can help me? β
"If you want to ask me who the woman in that painting is, all I can say is that I don't know."
Catherine replied softly, "The matter of great-grandfather has always been a taboo in our family. β
"No, I'm referring to the reason for the creation of that painting."
The black-haired stepdaughter groaned, "If the history books are not mistaken, the relationship between the emperor and the church at that time was already very bad. His arrival in Port Heiligen also seems to have something to do with it. But why did he still have the heart to create a painting in this situation? "Remember for a second [Net.. γWonderful free reading!
"It doesn't seem like a big deal?"
Catherine said strangely: "Maybe it's because it's boring, maybe it's because it's to release pressure, maybe great-grandfather is just trying to please that woman, there may be many reasons, who knows." β
"I think there's a deeper layer of truth to this."
The stepdaughter said, "At the same time, I don't think the woman in the painting is a real person. β
"Why do you think so?"
Catherine asked with interest, "Is it because of intuition?" β
"It could be so. I feel that the emperor is very similar to me in many ways, so I can't help but pay too much attention to it. The stepdaughter smiled.
"Of course, he is also a figure for me to study, and I am especially curious about why his heirs did not encounter any targets after the collapse of the empire, even though he had a very poor relationship with the church before his assassination, and instead inherited some of his influence to create the current kingdom of Wifred?"
"Maybe it's because my great-grandmother was a devout religious believer." Catherine replied casually.
"So that's even weirder. A man who opposes the church allows his wife to be a devout believer. β
The stepdaughter said meaningfully: "This is like a king who has made it his mission to eradicate the dark forces in his country, and the queen he marries will be an evil witch." What a funny thing, right? β
Catherine was stunned by these words, and then a bright smile appeared on her face, "Yes, this is indeed a very interesting phenomenon. β
"What's even more interesting is that the queen had already been married twice before she was married by the king, but she is still a virgin." The stepdaughter said thoughtfully: "It's funny to think about this kind of picture, those poor men, do they all hold the air at night?" β
"The air can't be that realistic."
Catherine smiled and said, "Maids, valets, eunuchs, guards, bedding, armor, sticks, pet dogs...... What's in bed depends on what is more convenient to use that day. β
"What a clever tactic." The stepdaughter sighed, "But if I'm not mistaken, the witch first married at the age of seven?" β
"Wrong."
Catherine corrected: "The first engagement was before the birth, and the first time I saw the wrinkled fiancΓ© was seven years old, and the correct age for marriage was thirteen. β
"So who's behind this?"
"Manipulation?" Catherine seemed to have heard something funny.
"Angelia, don't you know that this is the common fate of all noble women? Who to marry, when to marry, how many times...... If you want to say who is manipulating, it is probably this era. β
"That is, I got the order wrong."
The black-haired and black-eyed stepdaughter nodded knowingly, "It's not that someone is actively manipulating this witch, but that this witch wants to rebel against this fate, so she took refuge in someone." β
"I think it should be." The young queen, with her beautiful blond hair, nodded approvingly.
But now it seemed clear that she had the strength to resist. Why would she be willing to mingle in such an environment that disgusts her? β
The princess of the kingdom named Angelia asked curiously, "If she can easily deceive everyone in the court, she can destroy everything here at will." So what reason did she have to stay? β
"Because ah......"
The blonde queen's gaze softened when she heard this.
After staring sideways at the stepdaughter standing side by side with her for a moment, she stretched out her slender fingers to hook the other's arm tucked into the lace-trimmed sleeve, and then raised a hand to gently caress the back of the white hand that peeked out of the sleeve.
"Because there is a lovely, charming daughter here that she can't give up on......"
The young queen's demeanor and even the words in her mouth seemed so meaningful, combined with her bright and delicate face and moist and seductive blue eyes, normal women may not help but have their heartbeat faster when they see it.
However, the princess of the kingdom named Angelia is not a normal woman, she is not even a normal person.
Therefore, when she encountered this kind of "erotic encounter", she not only did not feel the slightest abnormality, but commented without changing her face: "This excuse doesn't sound very good." β
"So how is this witch going to prove her feelings?"
The water in the queen's eyes became even more intense, and the fingers that caressed the back of the other party's hand were quietly wrapped around the palm of the other party's hand and scratched slightly.
"Or ...... tonight"
"No one wants to lie on the same bed with a dog or a stick, my dear queen mother."
The black-haired and black-eyed Angelia responded expressionlessly, still looking calm, but she quickly withdrew her hand from the other party as she spoke.
"At the same time, I need to remind you that not everyone is interested in a pile of soft meat hanging from bones."
"So you prefer the soul to the body," asked Catherine curiously, "the soul?" β
"These two things are not comparable at all, my dear queen mother." The other party replied softly, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.
"When people are successful, their souls tend to be more and more arrogant. And when they fail one after another, their souls will be filled with pain. β
"Success and failure, rise and fall, sublimation and sinking...... Don't you find this process particularly interesting? β
"The desire of human beings to reproduce is universal, but this universal desire is also the lowest desire, and exploring the mysteries of the human heart is the direction that interests me."
After saying this, the girl named Angelia turned to leave, but before leaving, she left another meaningful message.
"It's been a bit windy lately, so you'd better wear more clothes so you don't get cold. My dear Queen Mother, when this gust of wind is over, I think we should have a deeper exchange. β
Catherine didn't respond, and watched quietly as the other's back disappeared into the garden, but she was still standing in place, her expression thoughtful.
The other party's words gave her some reminders.
But it's not spiritual or spiritual.
It's about someone's fetishes.
"So a soul with depth will be more interesting to the owner than a sexy body?"
She secretly understood.
After all, the girl named Angelia is actually an extension of the master......
So this aspect of the fetish should be the same, right?
So she began to think about what kind of soul is considered to have depth.
As for the other party discovering some of her abnormalities, she didn't pay attention to it at all.
Isn't it said that under the operation of the master's plan, her incubation period in the royal family is about to end.
Even if there is no such thing, what kind of storm can a poor guy who is a chess piece but does not know it, but thinks he is a chess player?
