Volume 5 Days in the Sun 241, sad
Da hates this feeling
He had always been proud and confident, but now he was forced by the situation to accept a marriage he did not want, this feeling was terrible, he was not a playboy, once he married a woman, he would be faithful to his wife, and tried to maintain the harmony and happiness of the family, just like his father and mother, who had lost their home for too long, and longed to get them back
That's why he wanted to propose to Minna, because a partner who matched him in both thought and action, and a woman who could give him strong support in both business and private matters, was the best wife he dreamed of
He had thought that Junia would be his wife, so he could tolerate all the little flaws she had, just because she would do what he wanted and not have a prominent family background to add to him
After Junia's betrayal, he once wanted to find a noble daughter with a gentle personality and a medium family background to marry, but in the end he couldn't reconcile, and the marriage dragged on to this day
Now, just after he proposed to Minna, he actually wanted to choose an arrogant woman as his lifelong partner, and he always had a disgusting feeling that the rumored difficulties of Princess Sarah and the palace guards to his dear friend made him even more angry, if it were not for the diplomatic relations between the two countries, he would have taken action against Princess Sarah
Minna had rejected him, but she had always been soft-hearted, and if he had shown more care, perhaps she would have nodded her head, of course, provided that the young magician didn't make a fuss
But no matter what, he still has confidence in this marriage
Even if Minna never nodded her head, she would not give up this fateful friendship
But all of this is very likely to be ruined by a woman who doesn't know what to do, just because she is of noble birth and the first princess of a powerful country!
Maybe add a few stupid guys who mistakenly think of him as a pawn that can be used to make a marriage proposal, although this also includes his cronies
Jada felt very aggrieved, only before the death of Prince Mario, and in the past few years, even if his uncle Gale II had always been wary of him, even if he was against him, the nobles who always caused him trouble, he had not been so bad
Obviously, his uncle's condition has been controlled, and Mingming's cronies in China have reported that the situation is quite calm, as long as he completes the mission as soon as possible, and then returns to China to calm down the turmoil, the matter is over, but within two days, he received the news that his uncle is unconscious, and may die soon, and the situation is chaotic, how can the situation take a sharp turn to this point? He didn't even know if his uncle was still alive now!
Who is doing the tricks? The secret letter in the country only said that someone found that Luth's food was poisonous, and then there were rumors that this was a conspiracy between the prince and his son, at first it was just a little skirmish, after Gale II suddenly fell into a coma for unknown reasons, the next day, the royal family and the nobles split into two factions, respectively, to support the king's two nephews to ascend the throne, the crown prince once proposed an urgent recall to visit the Duke of Jeda in the field, but the two nobles were found dead in their own homes the next day, both factions accused the other party of poisoning the ground, the conflict became more intense, and there were several small and small weapon fights, a relatively sober uncle resisted the pressure and ordered to issue a summons to Jada, who knew that two days later, the patrol army found the messenger fainted in the city of NomonkaIn the woods of the field, the cronies of Jeda Land felt that something was wrong, and sent someone to deliver the letter before the summons were reissued
Jada smelled the smell of conspiracy from this letter, although he had heard about another uncle's plan from Stella for a long time, but now they were obviously in an embarrassing situation where the conspiracy was exposed, it was not surprising that they had been preparing for so long and could support it, but Mario's faction of ministers had been almost eliminated by themselves over the years, how could anyone be willing to support Luthor? Why did the nobles who proposed to recall themselves die? It's such an obvious thing that can't get rid of suspicion, even a fool like Luthor wouldn't do it, right?
Seem... There is a force operating in the shadows, who is causing this chaos?
It won't be the Demon Domain, they have already supported Stella's family, so naturally they will not support the other party
It would have been Van Ah, and if they had been involved, Junia would have heard some clues, but on the way to East, he passed by the Central Curia without hearing her mention it
It is also unlikely that Easter would have proposed a marriage if it had been their conspiracy
The royal family of Wesa is now withering, the little prince is stupid and short-sighted, and his cousin is a smart man, but he does not have the strength
Don't... Is it Shaonan?
Because of the Weisha land, he and Shaonan are considered to have formed a bond, since the little prince of Weisha obeyed his threat, then, if Shaonan wants to regain control of North Weisha, he has to think of other ways, and if the cousin of the little prince also helps, he will not feel strange
Jada remembered the two Shaonan spies he had stumbled upon in the palace at the beginning of the year, and as soon as their identities were revealed, they committed suicide immediately, and he didn't ask for any confessions, if there was any complicity...
A rabbit with a docile surface will also do...
He suddenly had a cold war, there were spies from other countries in the palace, and the intentions were unknown, in case they did something to the king, or what they would do to him in the future when he became the master of the palace...
No way
You must return to your home country immediately! The current situation is too dangerous, it is not only about becoming the king of Noga, but also about whether Noga's fate falls into the hands of other countries, and he can't tolerate this!
"Your Excellency, Your Majesty, please go to the main hall, and the court meeting is about to begin" The voice of the attendant of the East Palace came from outside the door, bringing Jada's thoughts back ~ back to reality
Yes, the court... His marriage to the princess was about to be announced, should he accept it?
If Jada accepted it, he would have the support of both East and Van A, and he would easily repel his two cousins when he returned home, and he would be able to stabilize the situation as quickly as possible at the lowest cost, although the cost included that he would have to endure the princess for the rest of his life; But if you don't accept... King East will be disgruntled, Van Ah will not be as active as before, and he will have a hard time returning home...
"Your Excellency?" Outside the door, the squire's urging was heard again
Jada was silent for a long time before he replied, "I'll be right away" and stood up, arranging his dress in the mirror, but with a wry smile on his face
After all, he is not the one who can sacrifice everything for love, maybe Minna... To know him better than he imagined
Walking into the main hall, Wafred III and Queen Lorna were already seated, the princess and the two princes were standing beside them, but I don't know why I didn't see the second prince, Minister Selig and the nobles in two rows, and several of the more senior members of the mission were also overtaking them, and as soon as they heard the squire at the door, they all turned their heads to look, and they all arranged their clothes and ornaments, bowed their heads to greet each other
Valfred III smiled and stretched out his hand: "Please come here, Duke"
Jada quickly glanced at the location he was pointing to, three meters next to the head of the head, and the envoy was also smiling at him, he took a deep breath, bowed his head slightly, and walked towards the seat
After some opening remarks of courtesy and custom, Alfred III was quick to mention the marriage to Jada: "It may be a bit hasty to mention it now, but the Queen and I are very happy to see this knot, can Your Excellency the Duke tell you the good news?" β
Jada paused and smiled: "When" He stood up and faced the crowd below, only hesitated for a moment, and then said in a loud voice: "I am very honored to have the approval of His Majesty King East, to transfer his beloved daughter Princess Sarah..."
"Wait a minute!" Before Jada could finish his sentence, Sarah next to him suddenly interrupted him, and the crowd moved slightly, but quickly calmed down
Jada frowned slightly, barely maintaining a smile on his face, and asked politely, "Do you have any advice?" Her Royal Highness the Princess"
Sarah flattened her mouth aggrievedly, shook off Gadmont's hand that was holding her, and raised her head and said, "If you want to talk about marrying me, why didn't you formally propose to me?" Also, aren't you going to apologize to me for the scandal that caused a stir before?! β
Valfred III shouted, "Enough, Sarah! It's morning meeting time, and these things are being discussed in private! β
"Nope! Father! Sarah ignored her mother's eyes and said to herself, "Why should my marriage be decided in this way?" He wants to marry me, why doesn't he ask me directly? Now everyone says that he married me for power and profit, and I'm not convinced! If he wants to marry me, he must show sincerity! "She's been wronged a lot before, how can this duke not even write a love letter and send some gifts to please herself?! Isn't such a fiancΓ© boring?
A hint of anger flashed in Jada's eyes, and seeing that his subordinates were already angry, he hurriedly stopped them with his eyes and turned to Sarah: "Then I may ask Her Royal Highness the Princess... What kind of sincerity can satisfy you? β
Sarah's face flushed and squeaked for a while before she said, "At least... You should get down on your knees and propose to me, right? That's what her friend's fiancΓ© did
Jada laughed angrily: "It turns out that your country has such a etiquette, but in Nuojia, the royal family only kneels in front of the king!" β
"This is East, according to our customs, of course," Sarah was a little unimpressed, "I'm not an ordinary person, I'm the first princess of Eastland!" β
Jada didn't move, just stood there straight, and Princess Sarah was not angry, snorted coldly and turned her head, and the scene was cold for a while
A gleam flashed in the queen's eyes: if the marriage fell out like this, it might not be a good thing, so she did not stop her daughter
But the king lowered his face and rebuked his daughter in a low voice: "Nonsense! Your status is noble, and so is Your Excellency the Duke! Don't be rude! We've discussed this matter, don't make trouble! β
Sarah paused: "Father! You love your daughter the most, why do you scold me instead?! For this man?! He ~ expressed his courtesy to me, and had an affair with other women to anger me, can I ask him to apologize?! β
The king was really angry this time: "Don't talk nonsense! What a scandal! It's just gossip, you sent palace guards privately, and I haven't punished you yet! If you make any more trouble, I'll order you to leave!" He glanced at the queen, complaining in his heart that she had spoiled her daughter, who was already well-behaved
The queen was calm and clear, Heyt bowed her head and was silent, Gadmund kept pulling the hem of her sister's skirt, and she shook off Princess Sarah's red eyes again, glanced at the people present, hurriedly walked to her father's side, pulled his sleeve as usual, and whispered: "Father,
Can you kick me out? This man is obviously here to ask for help, and he has a son, isn't he evil? Don't ask us if you want to put on a show! β
Her voice was not high, but those who sat close could still hear a hint of embarrassment flashing across Earth's face, and Gadmund sighed slightly, the queen was noncommittal, and the Van envoy remained motionless as if deaf
Jada's heart was already full of anger, and the feeling of shame came to his heart, and he suddenly shook, almost spitting on himself
As a descendant of Nicodimus the Great, he actually bowed his head to Esther in order to use foreign power, even if he really became the king of Noga in the future, the humiliation he felt today would accompany him for the rest of his life, how could he kneel to such a woman?!
There are other ways to get the same result
In a flash of thought, he smiled at the angry Warfred III: "It seems that Her Royal Highness does not like me, could this marriage be decided too hastily?" β
Valfred III was almost ready to refute him, his daughter had been talking to him for days on end how good she was, how majestic she was to marry him, and now she was just a little girl with a temper, how could she not like him?
So he smiled and said, "Misunderstanding, Sarah just had a misunderstanding with you, and the matter will be clarified soon" He secretly regretted in his heart, even if he wanted to announce his daughter's marriage, he didn't need her to attend in person
"Father!" Sarah stomped her feet angrily, turned around and ran out of her kiss, "Queen Mother, you can help me talk about it!" β
Queen Luo touched her hair and was about to say something to her husband, but when she saw him with a straight face and looked at herself coldly, she couldn't help but be shocked, how could there be so much anger in her eyes? Should he... I thought I taught my daughter to say that, right?
Jada looked at him coldly, his face flashed with disdain, and then he heard Valfred III say to himself: "My daughter has been spoiled since she was a child, and she actually said rude things in front of you, please don't, she will be your competent wife."
Jada paused and said with a smile: "Of course, there are some teachings, I believe that Princess Sarah will definitely become a good wife with outstanding moral character and gentle temperament, but since she is unwilling in her heart, I can't force her, maybe we should give her a little more time to think about it?" And I need time to tell my uncle about this, and without his permission, I can't decide to marry on my own" After speaking, he sighed again, "It's a pity that my uncle is not in good health, and this good news can make him happy."
Hearing this, Valfred III looked at the envoy of Van A, and the other party bowed slightly, and he smiled: "The monks of the Temple of Light are proficient in the magic of the light system, maybe it will help the condition of your king's land?" There are still many excellent magicians and physicians in our country, what do you think of me sending a few of them with you to return to your country to heal your uncle if you need to? β
This proposal hit Jada's heart, and he hurriedly said: "That's really grateful" Both countries sent people back to China with him, which represents their support, which is much more effective than a marriage contract When the turmoil subsides, he regains control of the overall situation, to hell with this bullshit marriage contract!
But Valfred III's next words disappointed him a little: "I heard that you will be twenty-seven years old next spring?" It's not too young, so it's better to officially exchange marriage letters at that time" Valfred III looked back at his daughter: "I'm sure Sarah must have thought about it by then."
Sarah was so aggrieved that she was about to cry when she heard Jada say that she wanted her to think about marriage again, but now after listening to her father's words, she showed joy and wanted to agree immediately, but when she saw Jada, she was angry and refused to speak
Jada didn't have time to pay attention to the little girl's thoughts, and in his opinion, Princess Sarah's little trick was simply a joke that she thought he was someone. He followed the words of Valfred III, but thought in his heart that by next spring, the situation would be different, and the decision on whether to agree to the marriage or not would be in his own hands
Next, they talked about a few more things, and for the unfinished negotiation project, Jeda left the relevant personnel, and the continuation of the negotiation of diplomatic affairs was basically over
The Van Ah mission took the lead in saying goodbye and leaving, and then Jada also gave a speech of thanks, and then took the people of the mission back to the embassy to prepare to leave, Sarah tried to talk to him several times, but was unsuccessful, and her face was even more ugly
Jada led the group, accompanied by officials from the Foreign Service, and left the palace and arrived at the Heroes' Square, where they were confronted by Minna and Alex
Minna's image was a little embarrassed, but the young magicians were neatly dressed, and they talked and laughed all the way, and Jada was extremely dazzling
Minna noticed something strange ahead and stopped, only to realize that it was Jada, so she smiled at him and greeted, "Where are you going?" β
"Little fool, of course Your Excellency the Duke is going back to China, have you forgotten what I said in the morning?" Alex laughed and scolded
Jada's heart was sour, and he turned around and motioned for his subordinates to take a step first, and then slowly walked forward and came to Ming and Alex
Minna looked at him, a little uncomfortable: "I heard that you... Engaged to Princess Sarah, is that so? Congratulations."
Jada was expressionless and turned her gaze to Alex
(Ahem...) Poor Dijada ~~~)
