Chapter 16: Discipline
The glass in the girl's hand fell, and the shards mixed with the bright red liquid scattered on the ground.
Wearing a gorgeous evening dress, her golden sand-like blonde hair looked particularly dazzling in the light, but the girl's face was now pale, and her holy green pupils suddenly shrank, looking particularly frightened.
Since Lia was picked up by her father, she was pulled by her father to the maid to change her clothes, saying that she was going to attend a banquet at night, and the girl didn't think much about it, after all, her identity had just been announced, and it was normal to go out to socialize, and in the evening she came to the palace with her parents, but was unexpectedly taken to the reception room first.
Looking at her nominal relatives in front of her, although Liya didn't like it very much, she had to say hello one by one, because her fatherhood was very marginalized, so her family has never been taken seriously, and these so-called relatives are even more cold, but now they are more enthusiastic than one another, one is closer than the other, if you don't know, I'm afraid you will think that their previous relationship was very good. The girl has to feel sad about this, is the so-called relatives just commodities that can be measured by material things enclosed by rights and interests?
Is it because their status has risen now? Is it because they see that it is profitable, so they have come to close the relationship! It is really realistic! Looking at her father's expression of enjoyment, Leah knows that her father and them are the same kind of people, both people who can live with false masks for their own interests, and people who can do incredible things for themselves.
Is this the so-called price that must be paid after becoming a human being? Living in a false atmosphere every day, thinking hard every day about how to gain greater power, the girl really doesn't understand why, she is not an ambitious person, just a person who wants to live a peaceful life, although the girl is not ordinary.
It's just that Leah doesn't understand some of what they say, which makes Leah feel confused and uneasy!
"She's really good, she can be prosperous and rich for a lifetime in the future!"
"Yes, it's a pity that you can't envy you, who makes people look down on you!"
"Hmph, it's just a plaything for someone else, what's the big deal!"
"I've had this ability at the age of fourteen, and I'll be able to pay it back in the future, it's really pitiful, that person!"
"Cut, it's just a waste who relies on others, what do you have to envy!"
Conversations like this rang out throughout the chamber, and although they all kept their voices low, the girl with unusual facial features could easily hear the contents. Inside, or envy, or jealousy, or resentment, or disdain, the girl can hear clearly, these make the girl very uneasy, things don't seem to be as simple as she thinks!
When the girl took a glass of juice from her father, Queen Elisard, who was sitting at the top, suddenly spoke, "Artoria." ”
"Her Majesty" heard the person on the other side suddenly calling herself, and Leah hurriedly put down the juice she had taken a sip of in response.
"I want to tell you a good thing to tell you this time, and I think you will be very happy!" looked at Leah with a gentle smile on her face, but the girl suddenly shuddered when she heard this, and her intuition told her that her life would be completely different after this night.
Seeing that Liya didn't speak, she stood there in a daze and didn't get angry, and continued: "That's the case, yesterday the heir of the Chaierki family came here and wanted to marry us, and he asked you by name, and we all agreed, although you are still young, you can get engaged first, so we are going to prepare an engagement dinner for you in a few days, so calling you back is to make you ready!"
'Bang'
"What's wrong?" asked Alyssard, hearing the sound of the glass shattering, and seeing Leah stay where she was. Was it so happy? Everyone present looked at Leah.
Of course, the girl knows what this Chaelki family is, to put it simply, it is the hidden richest man in the world, and the energy is terrifying, which is not to be provoked by the now declining British royal family, and if the other party wants to marry herself, this is a great thing for them, using the energy of the other party's family, there is no problem for the British royal family to rise again.
I see, is this what they say is a good thing, is it true? Or sell me as a pawn! I thought that I had inherited the name of 'King Arthur', and I didn't have to worry about this matter, but was the other party's offer too tempting?
The girl lowered her head, and the bangs that hung down blocked the girl's face, so that everyone couldn't see the girl's face, and just when everyone was waiting impatiently, the girl's voice without the slightest emotion came: "I refuse!"
Everyone's faces changed, and Liya's father came directly to Liya and said nervously, "What did you say?"
"I refuse!"
"Why refuse?"
"If you don't like it, you don't like it!"
"You are not qualified to refuse, if I give birth to you, you have to listen to me, if I tell you to marry, you will have to marry!" looked at the ugly face of Alyssard on the other side: "What's more, as a member of the royal family, you have to sacrifice for the interests of the royal family, don't mention this kind of thing again!
Looking at the resolute expression on her father's face across from her, Lia looked at her mother a little helplessly, hoping for support, but she got the same answer, although it was not as obvious on her face as her father, but Lia still saw that she hoped that she would agree.
Leah is a little desperate, has she been abandoned by her parents like this? Did her parents, who she cherished and valued so much, betray her because of their interests?
"Hahahaha, it's worthy of the woman I fancy, it's just different! I'm satisfied!" At this time, an arrogant voice came, followed by a man with an unruly face, this person looked like he was about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a suit that could not be seen by the brand, which was specially designed for him, so that people can make you feel the extraordinary identity of him at the first glance.
Seeing the person coming, Queen Elisard immediately greeted her, and greeted the man with a smile on her face: "Master Sid, why are you here, we will be fine immediately, she will agree!"
"Haha, it's just that I came to see my future wife, I have wanted to meet for a long time!" Then he looked at Lia: "How about it, I said it, you will definitely become my woman, I did it!"
"Do we know each other?" Riah was a little confused, and it seemed that they had known each other for a long time!
"Hey, I really forgot, I still remember clearly, you rescued a woman I fell in love with, and I said I wanted you to replace her, right?
After thinking about it, I remember that there seems to be such a thing, when I secretly ran out a year ago, I saw a man pestering a woman, at that time, Liya had the same excessive sense of justice as the knight king, ran over and pulled the woman away, and also knocked down the man's bodyguard, and then I heard a man's voice from behind, saying that Liya snatched the woman she fancied, so she asked Liya to fill it, and at that time Liya just thought she was joking, who knew it would become like this, what a Lolita, despise you!
"I don't remember it, I didn't promise to marry you!"
"What are you talking nonsense, Master Sid has taken a fancy to you, it's your honor!" said Elisard.
"That's your honor, not mine, marry you and find someone yourself, I don't care how great he is, how rich he is. With that, Leah turned around and prepared to leave.
"Stop her for me, don't let her run away!" Seeing that Leah was so uncooperative, Alyssal was also angry, and she wanted to be hard directly.
In an instant, a group of people rushed in from the outside and surrounded Liya, looking at the person in front of him, Leah's face was extremely ugly, had you already calculated it? If you don't cooperate, are you going to use a strong one!
"Grab him for me and lock her up. Master Sid, please rest assured that we will definitely convince her in the next few days, so you can wait for the engagement day with peace of mind. ”
"Do you think they're going to be able to catch me?Don't you guys investigate it clearly?The ability I developed in the school city is LV5! It's easy to escape.,Although we're completely broken.,But for the sake of my happiness,,I'm not going to give in!"
"Of course we know, so we took a special countermeasure against you! Don't you feel it now?"
"I" felt dizzy in her brain, and her consciousness was a little blurred, and in an instant Liya understood, the glass of juice just now, looked at her father incredulously: "Father, you?" "Well, it's me, I know that with your character, you won't give in easily, and your personal ability is too strong, so in order to be foolproof, this is the best choice!"
Leah desperately felt the magic power in her body, and wanted to input the magic power into Avalon to resolve it, but for some reason her body couldn't use any strength at all, and there was no magic left.
"Don't waste your efforts, I'm giving you a medicine specifically for magicians, and if you get this medicine, don't think about using your strength, let alone your abilities. There's no way around it, who called your swordsmanship so strong, if you just don't let you use your abilities, it's also very unsafe, and it's a double layer of insurance. ”
Looking at her father, who said this with a cold face, and her mother, who turned her face to the side, Leah closed her eyes in agony, tears rolling down her cheeks.
Is this body destined to be betrayed?
