Chapter 319: Slave Girl (17)
In the Ivanov manor, Andrei looked at the void, not knowing what he was thinking, but his expression was quite lonely.
Festina walked up behind him, a sour look in her eyes, and asked, "What are you thinking, Andrei?" ”
Andrei came back to his senses and replied, "I didn't think about anything. ”
Festina glanced in the direction he was looking at and said, "That's the direction of the palace." I heard that His Royal Highness Peter had asked His Majesty the Emperor to agree to his marriage to Testena. ”
Andrei replied: "Yes, there are indeed such rumors. ”
Festina: "Rumors? Do you think this is just rumor? ”
Andre frowned slightly, as if he was reluctant to discuss this topic, but still said: "The marriage of His Royal Highness Peter will not be decided so hastily. His marriage is closely linked to the future of the entire Chuchar Empire. ”
Festina said with some taste: "Actually, you don't want this marriage to happen at all." ”
Andrei finally sensed that Festina's look and tone were a little wrong, and hurriedly said, "What nonsense are you talking about." His Royal Highness Peter is a good friend of mine, and I would love to see him live with his beloved. ”
"Huh." Festina sneered, "However, his beloved Testena was your slave girl a few months ago, and she is the one who has repeatedly confessed her love to you. ”
Andrei: "Festina, you know that I have nothing to do with Testena, so don't be rude, okay?" ”
Festina: "Am I being rude? Another sneer, "Okay, it's me who is rude!" Her voice became unusually cold, and she turned to leave.
She actually had something important to tell him when she looked for Andre, but she didn't expect to see Andre looking at the direction of the palace with a lonely face. It is said that the emperor himself held a banquet today to entertain the Ferning family, in order to celebrate the marriage of the two families, and Peter was about to marry Testena Fening.
Fetina felt that she could not be wrong, and after returning from the North Caucasus, Andrei felt as if she had lost her soul, and no longer had a heart on her every night as she used to. This discovery made Festina feel unusually sad.
She couldn't help but think of what her mother had told her about in the afternoon, that Andrei was from the Chuchar Empire, and that his property, relatives, and friends were all here. Even if he was willing to follow her to the Kayan Empire, it was unlikely that he would give up everything here, unless he loved him deeply.
And the Kayan Empire and the Chuchar Empire have their own interests, if Andrei doesn't love her deeply enough to enter the Kayan Empire with her, once the interests of the two countries are entangled, Andrei is likely to become a spy planted in the Kayan Empire by the Chuchar Empire.
At that time, if she, the princess, does not punish Andre severely, it will be difficult to convince the public, and I am afraid that even her qualification to inherit the throne will be affected in the future.
Originally, before Andrei did not return from the North Caucasus, Festina was very confident in Andrei's love for her. But now, she didn't have the slightest confidence.
It turns out that love can't withstand any test, even if there is a little change or setback, it will make love lose its original appearance and no longer be the original beauty.
Festina went back to her room and cried, then left a letter and secretly left the Ivanov estate at night.
The next day, Andrei took a large number of serfs and went separately to find Festina, but there was nothing else to find except that she was seen leaving the imperial capital with a noblewoman.
Andrei led people to chase him out of the imperial capital, but because he didn't know which direction Festina went after leaving the imperial capital, he tracked around for a long time and didn't find Festina.
He traveled outside for a day and a night, and when he returned to the imperial capital, he met Peter, Ye Xinlu, and Segar who were hunting in the suburbs.
Hearing that Andre lost his sweetheart, Ye Xinlu was a little surprised. In the plot, the heroine should have recognized her mother now, and she was on her way to the Kayan Empire accompanied by Andre.
Why did the heroine leave alone this time and didn't call Andre?
"You quarreled with Festina?" Ye Xinlu asked.
Thinking that he and Festina did have unpleasantness last night, but he felt that it had not yet developed to the level of quarrel, so it would not be enough for Festina to run away from home.
Andre's face was at a loss, which made Ye Xinlu a little helpless. She said: "You chase to the east, all the way to the east, in the direction of the Kayan Empire." ”
Andreki said: "Do you know where she went? ”
Ye Xinlu: "You just have to chase in that direction." Hurry up, she's been gone for a day or two nights, I'm afraid she's already hundreds of miles away. ”
Andrei immediately went east with his men.
Peter Qi said: "Testena, how do you know that Festina is heading in the direction of the Kayan Empire?" ”
Ye Xinlu pretended to smile profoundly: "Because this girl knows the world without going out!" ”
Peter pursed his lips and snorted, "I know you're great, but can't you make it clearer?" ”
Ye Xinlu chuckled a few times and said, "Okay, let's continue hunting." ”
Unexpectedly, five or six days later, the serfs of the Ivanov estate fled back to the imperial capital, bringing back Andrei's corpse.
Andre is a descendant of celebrities in the imperial capital, and his inexplicable death outside made the entire imperial capital in an uproar.
The serfs who escaped told the story that they had followed Miss Festina to the border of the Kayan Empire, and it turned out that this slave girl with the same identity as them, but the treatment was never the same, turned out to be the princess of the Kayan Empire.
She then asked Andrew to go with her to the Kayan Empire, leaving behind everything in the Chuchar Empire. Andrei did not agree. The two sides broke up, but Andrei was assassinated by an inexplicable assassin on his way back to the imperial capital.
Ye Xinlu really didn't expect that the male protagonist would die like this. If she guessed correctly, it should be Festina's empress mother, who felt that the male protagonist Andre made her daughter sad, so she killed Andre.
This empress of the Kayan Empire is ruthless, and her methods can be known through how she killed the original owner in the memory of the original owner. It's just that she didn't even let go of the male lead, which really shocked Ye Xinlu.
If she had known that the empress would do this, she would not have told Andrei Festina where to go, lest Andrei be killed.
Andrei was a good friend of Peter, and Peter was very sad about this incident and sent someone to track down the murderer immediately. When no one was around, he began to ask Ye Xinlu if he knew who the murderer was. Ye Xinlu said his guess, but it was just a guess, and there was no evidence.
However, she suggested sending a letter to Festina informing her of Andrei's death.
