Chapter 81: The Heart

"It's literal." As he spoke, Abner glanced at him with some guilt, "Although this proposal was initiated first by the Empire, it was the princess herself who made the final decision. ”

"In addition, the character of the princess must be clearer than me, even if you don't have the ability to shine, but once you decide to do something, you will definitely carry it out to the end."

"......" This time Vance did not speak again, but drooped his eyelids and fell into deep thought.

If the person involved in this matter was someone else, he would only be surprised at best, but that person ......

What exactly do you think?

The doubts deepened and finally came to Abner's eyes.

"Go to her, find an answer for us, and for yourself......"

……

Inside the palace, Vance stood in the doorway of Stephanie's bedroom, his mind filled with what Abner had said after the meeting.

"She is the princess after all, this is the responsibility she should bear, even if she is unwilling."

……

"Emotions are important, but sometimes reason needs to come first."

……

"Don't look at me with that kind of eyes, no matter what the teacher says, he is also a person from the past, with your kid's attitude towards the princess, you can't fool me if you can hide it from others."

……

That's right, he likes Stephanie very much, and he likes her very much, whether it is eating or resting, as long as he has free time, he will inevitably have her figure in his mind, even if that person is a minister, and he is very incompetent and cowardly in the hearts of the people, but he cannot change this fact.

The two made an agreement at a very young age, and their relationship has been stable until now......

"Lord Marquis?"

A sudden voice sounded from behind, and Van Si turned to look at the maid standing in front of him with his belly in his arms, and frowned slightly: "Why are you alone?" ”

Normally, there would be two maids at the door of the princess's bedchamber, but now there was only one person, and he had not even seen the person in front of him when he first arrived.

"Back to Lord Marquis, Mengdie is now accompanying me in the garden, and I was ordered to come back and get something."

"On orders? The princess is in the garden now? ”

"Yes."

"Her injuries haven't healed yet, so you're taking care of her?" The already unhappy mood exploded instantly after getting Yumeye's answer, and then Fan Si didn't care about the surprise on Yumeye's face, just walked quickly towards the end of the corridor.

……

The night was quiet, the crescent moon in the sky was faint and faint, the silver light was sprinkled, and the woman in the garden sat down on the edge of the stone table with her head bowed, holding a cup of tea in her hand and not knowing what to think.

"Master, it's cold, put on some clothes."

"Nope." Xiao Yueluo shook her head, staring at the teacup in her hand and directly rejecting the maid's proposal.

The silence spread between the two, but when Mengdie saw the woman's appearance, she felt anxious in her heart. Although the rumors of the princess in the outside world are very bad, they are a good master, speak kindly, and never despise them because of their status, even if someone makes a mistake, there will be no too serious punishment. Their relationship is that they are masters and servants, but since the last accident, even if the attitude towards them is still the same, the whole person is dull.

"Fluttershy, do you believe there are souls in this world?"

Suddenly, Xiao Yueluo asked, but the words she said made the people behind her a little puzzled.

"It should ...... Yes, right? Although she didn't know why Xiao Yueluo suddenly asked this, Mengdie still guessed with some uncertainty.

Sure enough, don't you know?

"If the master wants to know about this, he can go to the church, and the bishop there should be able to answer the master's questions."

"There?" Xiao Yueluo glanced at the person beside her slightly, and then shook her head, "Forget it, even if I ask, what can I do?" At most, it's just telling me something that is in the holy scriptures, and it doesn't make any sense. ”

"Yes...... Is that so? The girl tilted her head, although the entire continent is religious, but as a civilian, Mengdie's impression of the church is only on the surface, in addition to knowing that it can cure diseases and save people, it is more of a supernatural death, so at this time, what Xiao Yueluo said is only suspicious.

"What do you want to do?"

The slight movement of the footsteps and the inexplicable familiar voice made the woman frown subconsciously, and she could guess who the speaker was without thinking about it. Vans Carr, although subjectively wanted to stay away from the man, this body ......

"What are you doing here so late?"

The voice of the person in front of him was faintly combed, although it sounded a little cold, but at the moment Fan Si didn't care so much, because he had something he desperately wanted to know.

"Why did you agree to a marriage?"

"Why? Shouldn't the Marquis know better than I do? The fingertips were slightly in the teacup, and the ripples were just like her state of mind at the moment, "The country is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and I, as a ruler, naturally can't watch it go down the road of decline and destruction, since the Arms Empire intends to marry, then why can't I accept it?" ”

Ames, the only emperor-level state in the Elanth Continent, in addition to the vast ruling area, its military strength is also the most powerful existence in the entire continent. It's just that it wasn't Xiao Yueluo who made this decision, but the original owner of this body, and now she is just a homeopath, at least until she finds the perfect solution, she only has this choice.

"What about the agreement between us? Those things that have been said well...... "Fan Si stepped forward quickly, but before he could finish his words, he was directly interrupted by Xiao Yueluo.

"Vance." The girl raised her head with a complicated expression, "I'm not worth it for you." ”

Looking at those clear eyes, Vance knew very well that the person in front of him was not joking with him, but even so, he was still ......

"I can't accept it, am I doing something wrong? If so, I can ......"

"I'm sorry, the reason I just said, since I am the king, I will bear the responsibility of the king, and I can't solve it myself, so I will ask for help from outside, and marriage is my best choice at the moment." Van Si's thoughts were very clear, but it was a pity that his feelings were not for her but for the real Borgia princess, otherwise she might have tried to accept it.

"Even if you don't know anything about that man?" Looking at the back of the woman as she got up to leave, Vance questioned loudly, he didn't believe that the person who had promised him his life would make such a choice.

"He saved me." There was a slight pause in her footsteps, and after a while, Xiao Yueluo opened her mouth again, but this time it made Fan Si completely silent.

"Master, things ......" Looking at Xiao Yueluo who was walking towards her, Mengye who had just come out of the building looked happy, but before she finished speaking, she was directly dragged aside by Mengdie.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Mengdie shaking her head at herself, Mengye glanced at Xiao Yueluo who was passing by with some confusion, and then looked at the person standing like a stone statue next to the stone table, and directly lowered her voice and asked, "Lord Duke, what's wrong?" I felt weird when I was outside the master's room before, as if I was angry with someone. ”

"Ye, you're overstepping."

"Ah......h

"Okay, don't look at it, the master is gone." Mengdie tugged at Mengye's sleeve, and the two of them hurriedly left the place after saluting Fans.

And watching the departure of several people, the light in Vance's eyes gradually dimmed:

Saving grace, is that your answer?

But why? You have agreed to it, but now you want to marry someone else.

And I have the power to protect everything you care about, but you try to ignore it.

Why?

What should I do with you?

Looking up at the night sky, Vance was at a loss for the first time. And he didn't know if it was an illusion, he always felt that Stephanie just now was a little different from before, but he couldn't tell what it was.

"Ah, what a sin......" At the same time, in the corner of the garden, Abner, who had witnessed everything, shook his head helplessly, and finally turned and disappeared into the darkness.

Since ancient times, "love" can not only achieve people, but also can ruin people's lives, among all the students, Fan Si is the best one, it can be said that Wen can govern the country, martial arts can be Anbang, but the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, if you can't cross, then you can only stop here after all.

……

"Dream Butterfly, Dream Night, are you wrong to say that I am doing this to him?" In the bedroom of the palace, Xiao Yueluo leaned against the window, looking down at the figures in the garden.

"The host ......"

"Maybe I'm wrong...... But even then she didn't want to deceive herself, the affection in her eyes didn't belong to her, and it would never belong to her, so it was better to refuse early than to be a substitute, and Vans was at best a stranger in her memory.

Half a year ago, the princess of Stephanie ascended the throne, and although she had the idea of a powerful state, her own incompetence and cowardice made the Duchy of Borgia worse. Riots, demonstrations, merchant strikes, etc., but thanks to the presence of Vance Carr, his timely return gradually restored the turmoil of the Borgia to its original stability.

However, no one thought that under this fragile stability, there was a deadly danger. A month ago, Stephanie was attacked by bandits while she was out, even though she was protected by the Guards, but due to the large number of opponents, not only dozens of Guards were killed, but even Queen Stephanie was seriously injured. If Ronald hadn't happened to pass by, there would not have been the current Xiao Yueluo.

The memories of the original body flashed through her mind one by one, and in the past month, even if she had not been out of this palace, she had figured out a lot, and even the government affairs began to slowly become familiar.

Since she is her, she will definitely take on the responsibility of this body. It's just that before that, she must first determine some things, a country cannot be defeated by saying defeat, even if the ruler itself has problems, it will take time to ferment, and it will become like this in just a few months, think about it.

However, even though Xiao Yueluo had doubts in her heart, she also knew that this matter could not be rushed, otherwise not only would she be startled by the snake, but she was afraid that even she would be in danger.
