Chapter 384: Meng Ji Yu Bird, Two Clans (4)
"Father."
Simo stepped on his high heels and made a crisp sound. The king, who sat opposite him behind a long solid wooden desk, looked up and saw his young daughter looking at him with eyes as beautiful as his dead wife.
"Susan, my good daughter, my father is not going to let you go to the evening ceremony."
Thinking of his beloved wife, the king was ready to give up his previous plans. If his daughter is not selected, it is fine, if he is selected, then he and his deceased wife's only daughter will have to serve God for the rest of their lives.
I can't find my true love and live a happy life for the rest of my life. This is something that the king does not want to see.
"Why?"
Si Mo didn't understand why the king changed his mind temporarily, and in her memory, the original owner was persuaded by the king. The king said that if she could choose the Holy Maiden, then the kingdom might be ****, and then it would be possible to better centralize power.
Their royal family would no longer be at the mercy of the church. She is the only princess in the royal family, and the king will not make this decision unless it is a last resort.
But why is it suddenly changing now?
"I dreamed of your mother last night, and she asked me in her dreams with tears in her eyes, why did you force our only daughter like this, why did you put our daughter at risk of unhappiness."
The king stood up, he was no longer as tall and strong as he had been in his youth, his tall and toned body had become bloated and stiff, but the expression on his face did not look like a fake at all.
"Father, daughter is willing to sacrifice her happiness for the royal family. What's more, accompanying the gods is not a kind of happiness. If she could see that her father and brothers were no longer persecuted by the church, her daughter would be willing to give it a try. ”
The king's eyes, which were originally weeping and painful, suddenly widened when he heard Simo's words. He didn't expect his daughter to say such a thing, is this still his willful and arrogant little princess since childhood?
"Father, daughters have to grow up." Knowing that what she had just said was a little too righteous and awe-inspiring, and did not fit the character of the original owner, Si Mo lowered her head with a little grief, so that the king could not see the indifference on her face clearly.
"A daughter is a father's child after all, and these days, she has figured out the situation of her father and brothers. Since childhood, the carefree life is exchanged for the lifelong happiness of her daughter.
Daughter...... Although I have also longed for those pictures of other princes marrying their daughters, but marrying someone I don't know at all is still uncertain whether I will be happy or not.
If she can serve God without leaving her father and brothers, her daughter feels that it is a kind of guaranteed happiness. ”
In other words, she no longer called the king "father", but used a more common name "father". This distance undoubtedly made the king feel even more sad.
But the daughter's words are not unreasonable, the daughter's status is too high, if she marries the prince and minister, her living conditions will inevitably be worse than now, but if she marries another royal family to marry, which prince does she really understand?
On the contrary, if she can become a saint, it is indeed a lifetime to be able to live well in the royal capital, with the care of herself and her sons, and the supply of the royal family, her material life should be guaranteed.
What's more, if the rights of the church can be withdrawn, or the rights of the church can be set aside, then there will be no problem for the royal family to provide for their daughters.
"Kid...... I've wronged you. ”
After all, the king's lifelong goal overcame the guilt of his wife, and he wanted to become a generation of emperors, leaving a name in history, and he did not want to be a puppet of the church anymore, he ...... To be right!
