The moonlight was hazy and the stars were dim.

It was late at night, but the royal city was still brightly lit.

It's no better here than Brand, and people are used to going to bed early and waking up early. Because most of the residents of Brand make a living from farming, they generally choose to rest according to the laws of labor.

And in the royal city of Hikari, this time is the beginning of nightlife. The lights are intoxicating, and the bars on the streets and alleys are also at their busiest.

It's also the time of the day when people come to the bar to sit down, order a large draft beer, and then gamble cards, fight wine, or admire the writhing waist of the dancers.

On this night of singing and dancing, the loft on the top floor of the hotel is unusually quiet.

Fiona stood by the window, silently looking down on the prosperity of the royal city.

With a calm complexion, she didn't seem interested in the hustle and bustle outside.

It's no wonder, after all, she has always been like this.

It is the largest hotel in the Intramuros and at the same time the most luxurious. It is located in the most prosperous part of the city center, and usually only those from outside the princes and nobles are eligible to stay.

On the ground floor of the hotel is a large hall with splendid decorations and beautiful furnishings, where a cocktail party is taking place, and the protagonist is Prince Grant.

Today is a big day to welcome the princess-to-be into the city, and the guests at the reception are all very heavy figures. The main guests are relatives of the Kierkes family.

Fiona didn't get involved because she didn't like the occasion in the first place. In addition, the rule of the Hikari royal family is that the princess-to-be is not allowed to appear before the wedding, so she is also happy to be quiet for half a day.

Looking at the hazy night, Fiona's mind seemed to fly into the distance.

She didn't know how she was going to face her life, but the thought of what she could do for the person in her heart calmed her apprehension.

Just as Fiona was quietly enjoying the night, there was a soft knock on the door.

The knock on the door was slow, and it sounded polite.

Although the visitor was very polite, the moment of silence was broken, and Fiona still felt a little unhappy in her heart.

She didn't know who had come to disturb her that night, but she knew that the people who were knocking on the door were annoying to her.

Retracting her thoughts, Fiona steady.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and then spoke,

"Please come in. ”

The door was pushed open, and Prince Grant stood in the doorway with a gentlemanly smile.

"Dear Highness the Princess, may I come in?"

Fiona didn't have a good impression of the person in front of her, and after the last meeting, she was even more disgusted with this person.

Because of the coercion and temptation hidden in the words, she has already seen the sanctimony of this prince.

But this is the royal city, the territory of Prince Hikari. It is extremely impolite to refuse the owner at this time.

So although Fiona was disgusted, she did not refuse.

"Absolutely, His Royal Highness Prince Grant. ”

Fiona's face remained unchanged, and her tone was as indifferent as usual.

But Prince Grant seemed to be accustomed to Fiona's indifference, and just nodded faintly and walked in.

"Dear Highness the Princess. ”

Prince Grant saluted gentlemanly.

"It's really nice to be able to see you again. ”

Fiona frowned slightly, disgusted by the title 'Her Royal Highness the Princess'.

"Your Royal Highness, we haven't had a wedding yet, please pay attention to your words. ”

Grande was stunned for a moment, then smiled faintly.

"Your Royal Highness, our wedding will be in three days, isn't it too much for you to say that now? ”

Although she knew that this would become a reality sooner or later, Fiona was still very resistant.

Although there are still three days to go, she still holds on to her heart at this last moment.

"The wedding has not taken place, so there is still no relationship between us, and I would like to ask His Royal Highness the Prince to pay a little attention. ”

Looking at the cold Fiona, Prince Grant smiled and shook his head.

He knows Fiona's character, and he also knows this woman's stubbornness and persistence.

But all of this seemed so ridiculous to him. Because everything Fiona insisted on had been easily broken by him in the last meeting.

"The great figures of the empire have also arrived one after another, and the other three princes have also sent their respective princes to congratulate them, and His Majesty the Demon Emperor has also sent valuable gifts, all for our wedding. ”

Grant took two steps forward, a little closer to Fiona.

"Our wedding is so grand, it has been blessed by the entire empire, I call you a princess in advance, what's not to do?"

Fiona shook her head slowly, her face covered with frost.

"If I say no, then no. ”

Seeing Fiona's appearance, the corners of Grant's eyes twitched slightly.

His heart was extremely uncomfortable, but it was difficult for the gentleman's face to come out.

Both of them stopped talking, and fell into a cold spot for a while.

After a moment of silence, Grant suddenly raised his eyebrows, as if he had found a breakthrough in how to break Fiona's cold shell.

"Oh, yes. ”

Grant said softly,

"There is a report from Hearthstone that Grand Duke Vlad Gimir has set off the day before yesterday, and it is estimated that he will be able to reach the royal city tomorrow. ”

Fiona was unmoved, her eyes still looking at the night sky outside the window.

The corners of Grant's mouth lifted a treacherous arc, and his voice was much lowered.

"His Royal Highness Roy also returned to Hearthstone a few days ago, and I heard that he also came with the Grand Duke to prepare for our wedding this time. ”

As soon as these words came out, Fiona's shoulders trembled slightly.

She bit her lip slightly, and said calmly,

"What does this have to do with me. ”

"Does it really matter?"

The smile on Grant's face grew.

"But I've heard that Master Gucci seems to have some prejudice against him, and although he has Grand Duke Vlad Kimir by his side, he certainly can't stay with him. If you run around in the royal city, it won't be good if you get some inexplicable poison. ”

Fiona clearly said that Gucci's poison could not help Li Yanbei.

But Grant's implication is definitely not as simple as Gucci poisoning.

Around Baron Roy, there is always a crisis lurking that will arise at any time. Even if Gucci didn't hurt him this time, the rest of these people would definitely not make him feel better.

Especially Grant in front of him, he seems to be harmless to humans and animals, but Fiona is very clear, and his hostility towards Li Yanbei is also very deep.

Fiona spun around, then stared at Grant with burning eyes.

"You promised me that you wouldn't talk to Raul and Thorpe

Together, they dealt with His Highness Roy. And say that as long as I marry you, you will be responsible for protecting the safety of His Highness Roy, and persuade Gucci to stop being an enemy of His Highness Roy!"

Seeing Fiona's excitement, Grande knew that his goal had been achieved.

I saw him pick his chin contemptuously, and then said slowly,

"All this is based on you becoming Her Royal Highness the Princess, since you are not the princess now, then why should I fulfill my promise?"

Hearing this, Fiona bit her lip.

She stopped talking, just stared coldly at the man in front of her who was disgusting.

"Well, although I like the chill in your beautiful eyes, what kind of husband and wife are you staring at all the time?"

Grant smiled, then spread his hands.

"Are you right, my dear princess. ”

Fiona didn't refute.

She knew that if she retorted again, this sinister and cunning creature might really do something.

So she had only silence.

"I won't disturb your rest, my dear Highness the Princess. ”

Satisfied that Fiona did not refute the title of princess, Grant made a gentleman's salute.

He knew he was in control, so there was nothing to worry about.

"May you have a good night's sleep. ”

With that, Grant turned and walked towards the door. He closed the door softly as he went out, a satisfied smile on his face.

Seeing Grant leave, Fiona closed her eyes fiercely.

She was the only one left in the room, and loneliness and grievances came to her heart for a while.

Although she has long been used to all this, because she has been alone since she was a child.

But since she met that person, she realized that it was so beautiful to have someone to accompany her.

It's a really good feeling to have someone to talk to when you're sad and someone to lean on when you're helpless.

She was glad she had met His Highness Roy, but now she resented that encounter.

Because during the time she spent with His Royal Highness Roy, she unconsciously dedicated her sincerity, and thus obtained another sincerity.

But now, she knew that she was going to lose that heart forever.

The pain of gaining and losing is the most sad.

At this moment, she really wants His Royal Highness Roy to be by her side.

When she opened her eyes, she turned to look at the waning moon outside the window, and a line of tears fell like this.

She didn't know why she was crying, because she had always thought she was strong enough.

But it wasn't until now that she realized that she wasn't as strong as she imagined.

Silence, silence.

Teardrops dripped on the marble of the windowsill, ticking and ticking.

And under this quiet moonlit night, a voice suddenly broke the silence in the room.

"Okay, stop crying. ”

Fiona shuddered suddenly, for it suddenly felt so familiar to her.

"How old are you and still crying?"

The voice came again, making her even more convinced of what she was thinking.

She had already determined the identity of the voice's owner.

"You... You ······"

Twisting her stiff neck and turning, Fiona looked at the figure in disbelief.

Looking at this longing face, she only felt a little distracted for a while.

"You... How do you ······"
