Chapter 142: Freedom (Occupy Full Attendance)
"My daughter, do you know what we want most but find it difficult to have?"
The former flower of high rocks, now the princess of the empire, and Portma's mother, Kuntila, although she has given birth to three children, still maintains her proud figure and beauty, and the years have not left too many traces on her body.
"What is it, Mother?"
"Freedom." Kuntila came to her daughter's side, caressed her hair lovingly, and said softly, "What do you think of my union with your father?" ”
"It's perfect, I heard that when my father went to Gao Yan to ask my grandfather, there was a powerful werewolf wreaking havoc everywhere, so he and you defeated the demon that endangered the people, and the two of you developed feelings during the adventure, and he proposed to you with a ring made of the soul gem that sealed the demon, just like in the story." Portmar squinted, enjoying the caress from her mother as she reminisced.
"You know that's the story," Kunti flicked his finger on his daughter's forehead, "Actually, your father came with your half-brother, who had been widowed for many years, and God knows how he thought he would have brought his son to woo me. ”
"Your grandfather didn't plan to marry me to the empire at that time, because the profits were not enough, because of your grandfather, the empire had already begun to decline, and he hoped to sell me for a better price," Quintila continued, looking at her daughter's surprised expression, "It sounds incredible, but that's the reality. ”
"I understand......" Portmar muttered quietly as she thought of what she had overheard today.
Kuntila didn't pay attention to her daughter's whispering, "But fortunately, I'm not only the princess of Gao Yan, but also a magician. ”
"So you don't love your father, do you?"
"Although I don't deny that there is a reason why he is more pleasing to the eye, it is more like a deal between me and him, he married me, and I have left Gao Yan since then." Kuntila smiled, and while scooping up the water from her daughter's shoulder, she said slowly, "I originally thought that I would be able to have a freer life after leaving Gao Yan, until I had you, my first child, and became a mother, I always wanted to see you grow up and become a wonderful lady." ”
"But I didn't make a good girl."
"Yes, you're naughty, not at all as obedient as your brothers Severus and Magnus," Quintila said, shaving lightly on the bridge of Portmar's nose, "but in my heart, you're a good girl, you're smart, in you I can see the shadow of my past, you have a look close to mine, and you have inherited a gift for magic, and I've always believed that you will be better than me." ”
"How old are they, Severus still wets the bed, Magnus just called his sister," Portmar was reluctant to hear her mother compare herself to her brother.
"Okay, okay, didn't I praise you too?" Kuntila, who was splashed with a handful of water by her daughter, pretended to be annoyed and pinched her daughter's face, "Wet my clothes." ”
"That's just ...... us together" Portmar, who was about to get her mother to take off her clothes and wash with herself, suddenly thought of another person in the room, and quickly stopped talking.
"When you're so old, you still want to take a bath with your mother? Here, let me see how big my baby girl is. Kuntila smiled and plunged her palm into the water.
"Don't, it's so ......"
The mother and daughter laughed at each other for a while, and the temperature of the water in the bucket gradually dropped.
“...... My father and grandfather are ready to marry me to Dugu City. After thinking about it for a while, Portmar told her mother what she had overheard.
"These two bastards, their own daughters and sisters married someone else under the condition that they had already agreed, so they used my daughter as a bargaining chip, why didn't they marry themselves!" As soon as he heard the news, Kuntila suddenly became angry.
"They can't marry even if they want to, right?" Hearing her mother's angry words, Portmar muttered quietly, "Although I read in the book that Mara wants to bless men who truly love each other. ”
"Poof-" The sudden interruption made Kuntila stunned, and then burst into her daughter's head, "Don't read those messy books in the future." ”
"What kind of mess, I found it in the chief archmage's study." Portmar said, holding her head and sinking, successfully avoiding a second knock.
"That old fellow, it looks like I'm going to have to find some time to burn his stuff." Kuntila withdrew her hand, and then seemed to think of something, and said to her daughter's half-submerged head, "What do you think about marrying yourself?" ”
"Goh, I don't know," Potmar shook her head, bringing up a series of bubbles as she spoke, "I met that king once, and he was like a fat pig who had been soaked in water for days, old and ugly, and if I married him, I might have woken up in my dreams." ”
"Is it as exaggerated as you say?" Seeing her daughter's serious eyes, Kuntila sighed, "Well, I also think that old guy who can already be your grandfather is indeed fat and ugly." ”
"You can admit it, how can I be happy when I get married."
“...... I'll try to get your father to change his mind, and I'll support you no matter what, whatever decision you make. Kuntila kissed her daughter on the forehead and left the room.
Watching her mother's back disappear into the doorway, Portmar felt distraught, but it wasn't long before the sudden sound made her almost scream again.
"Haven't you gotten up yet, the water is going to be cold."
"Pervert!"
“......”
The atmosphere became a little awkward for a while.
"Help me take off my clothes." Potmar's somewhat trembling voice broke the silence.
"You don't even have any clothes?"
"Forgot it? In the closet on your right, the pale yellow one. ”
"Hey, it really makes people call." Although he said this, Zhang Lin didn't care about her, and now he didn't regard the other party as the queen who shouted and killed.
Portmar took the clothes and quickly put them on: "...... Do you think I'm pretty? ”
"Huh? You don't want to learn from your mother, do you? ”
"You've been eavesdropping!" Potter Ma pinched her waist and glared at Zhang Lin angrily, and then straightened her chest, "How do you think you're better than that fat pig, can't you?" ”
"Uh, sorry, you're too young." Zhang Lin was stunned for a moment, left a sentence and disappeared in place.
Potmar's face turned red, and she kept scolding bastards, where is it small, and so on.
