Chapter 862: Paladin, this store does not entertain troublemakers (82)
Princess Marianne is well-dressed! As soon as Leopold saw this legendary most beautiful noble lady in the entire Blood Leaf Kingdom, he made such a judgment.
Indeed, she brought only one maid, a hooded cloak of delicate red velvet embroidered with gold thread, and carefully concealed her face. Leopold was a little curious, although Marianne covered her face with a hooded cloak, how did she get out of the city in such a gorgeous cloak?!
Marianne unveiled her hood in front of Christian, Leopold, and Prince Edward, revealing her beautiful face. Her most beautiful angle was facing Christian, which she had carefully designed, she knew she was beautiful, and her appearance was her best weapon.
Marianne is indeed beautiful. Jet black thick curly hair, gently hanging down the back of the neck, bright and charming black eyes, snow-white skin, rosy lips, every angle, beautiful.
Marianne bent her knees slightly, curtsy to Christian, and expressed her gratitude gently and reasonably: "Dear Royal Highness Prince, thank you for your willingness to meet with me. ”
"Your Highness the Princess." Christian nodded at Marianne with reason but distantly: "You don't have to worry about your safety, you can tell me if you have something, and then I will send guards to take you to the gate of the royal city." ”
"Prince......" Marianne bit her lip as if hesitating: "Since I have already come out, I have no intention of going back, my father is wrong, I know." There is no possibility for him to escape the judgment of justice. ”
"Thank you, Your Highness Princess, for your understanding." Leopold grinned at Marianne, "So, do you need us to send you back to the realm?" I'm afraid it won't work. Archduke Ferdinand was guilty of treason, making a deal with the devil, and although the final judgment will have to wait for the joint ruling of the royal family and the church, I would venture to predict that his fiefdom may not be kept. ”
"I ......" Marianne choked, she thought for a second, and decided to ignore Leoper's words, after all, it was the crown prince who made the final decision, didn't he?
Marianne, who decided to change the subject, turned her head slightly, and showed a gentle and shy expression towards Leopot: "You must be Prince Leopold of Sorenberg, a genius magician. Your name is sung among the magicians, and the guardians of the palace worship you. ”
"You're overrated!" The expression on Leopold's face was just right, polite and detached, just like all well-bred noble children: "But I'm glad to be praised by you, princess, you are the most beautiful noble lady in the whole kingdom, everyone says, after seeing your face, you are the real blood leaf rose, and the rose on the royal coat of arms is not as beautiful as one-ten-thousandth of yours." ”
Listening to Leopold's words, Christian frowned unhappily, although he knew the deep meaning behind Leopold's words, but it still sounded very unpleasant! The Blood Leaf Rose is the heraldic pattern of the royal family, the symbol of the Blood Leaf Dynasty, how could Marianne be the real Blood Leaf Rose.
"It's all rumors...... Marianne's face flushed, her snow-white cheeks dyed a little bright, and she really looked like a delicate rose, "Such rumors are really rude." ”
"I think so." Leopold nodded thoughtfully: "It's just that these rumors have another meaning?" Maybe it represents the good wishes of the people, doesn't it? The Blood Leaf Rose is a representative of the royal family, does this mean that the people want to have a queen as beautiful as the Blood Leaf Rose? You are the real Blood Leaf Rose, this statement is very interesting, does it mean that you deserve to be the next queen of the Blood Leaf Kingdom? ”
"It's just rumors, and the prince doesn't have to mind too much." Marianne intuitively felt that there was something wrong with Leoper's words, but she couldn't say what was wrong. The rumors were indeed spread by her instigators, and the purpose was indeed reminiscent of the relationship between the Blood Leaf Rose and the queen, but in the final analysis, she didn't have much to rely on except for her own appearance, and she was not the proud heiress she used to be! Her father would soon be tried as a traitor, and she was empty-handed and in no position to negotiate terms.
"Indeed, irresponsible rumors don't have to be cared about." The corners of Leopold's mouth curled slightly, revealing a very strange smile: "And the person who said this must be short-sighted." The most beautiful aristocratic lady in the entire Bloodleaf Kingdom is obviously Miss Lily Burt of Salfield Castle. She is the real Bloodleaf Rose. ”
Marianne looked at Leopold with some surprise, Lily Burt, she knew this man, she had heard that she had left home early to go to the convent to recuperate, but she knew that the girl was a highly gifted magician, and it was one of the terms of his father's deal with Anne Luck.
His father had planned for Anne Luck to kidnap Lily Burt and marry one of the low-ranking nobles of her relatives, and then give her to Anne Luck. Lily Burt is dead, and her husband can rightfully eat her territory. Of course, this plan did not succeed, because Lily Burt was protected and they were unable to kidnap her.
But this is all in the past, Marianne has no intention of distinguishing for her father, and Christian and Leopold must know the truth, but she doesn't understand what Leopold means when he mentions Lily Burt at this time.
"I forgot to introduce you, Princess Marianne," Leopold pointed to a handsome knight standing on Christian's other side, "This is Prince Edward of Burt Castle, and Lily Burt's uncle." ”
"Your Royal Highness!" Marianne immediately lowered her head: "I'm sorry! I don't want to be guilty of my father's crimes, and I ask you to accept my sincere apologies. ”
"Princess Marianne," Christian said coldly, staring at the impeccable Marianne in front of him, "what is the purpose of your visit, can you tell me now?" ”
"I ......," Marianne pursed her lips, and finally stubbornly said her request: "I hope to be protected by Prince Christian." I do not seek to keep my title and my territory, but please let me stay with you, only then will I be safe. ”
"Stay with me?" Christian's expression did not fluctuate at all: "I'm sorry, I don't want to be rude, but you see, this is a barracks, and all the people who stay here are warriors, female magicians or female warriors, and you are not suitable to stay here." ”
"I can be your lady-in-waiting." Marianne looked up eagerly: "You will be the king in the future, and you will ...... in your court"
"I guess Princess Marianne's ultimate goal is to be queen." Prince Edward said coldly: "But which noble ladies are selected to enter the palace as female officials, this is the queen's business, and it has nothing to do with the king." You came here to ask the crown prince, and it is not in order. Or do you not mind being by his side as the Crown Prince's mistress right now? ”
Marianne bowed her head in embarrassment, not knowing what to do with the point-and-point question. She really didn't mind, but ...... Prince Edward said this, it was too rude!
