Chapter 63: Gwynlith's Instincts
Back in the hall, a wave of warmth hits me, and at the same time there is a never-ending noise. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The jester's performance has come to an end, and he is replaced by several court dancers.
"Princess, where have you been?" The maid was too distracted to watch the clown's performance just now, and she didn't know when the princess left, and when the performance was over, she found that the person next to her was gone, and she was anxious to look for it everywhere.
"Didn't I tell you, go outside and breathe. "Amy remembers what she said, but she didn't hear it?
She returned to her seat, and found that the king seemed to be drunk, and that his glass had fallen over on the table, while he was still sitting in his chair laughing.
Amy turned her head and stopped looking at him.
The table was full of delicacies, but she had no appetite at all, and she was not interested in watching the dance in the audience, so it was better to stand outside than to sit here.
"Lord Colin. Amy saw the Home Secretary pass by and hurriedly stopped him.
Colin was Gwynlith's confidant, and Amy knew about what they were talking about over there, and she guessed that there must be something important.
"Your Highness the Princess. Colin paused and said respectfully. He has been with the Queen Mother for so many years, and he has watched Amy grow up day by day, and he still likes her very much.
"Lord Colin, what were you talking about just now?, is there progress in the dragon matter?" Most of the things that were still being talked about at the banquet were related to dragons, otherwise what else could make the Queen Mother bother so much.
"Yes, it's progressive. It was no secret, and he told Amy the whole thing.
Witch Amy was a little puzzled when she heard the final conclusion. Of the three women I saw today, except for the white-haired one, the other two were quite ordinary. If it was really a witch who summoned the dragon out, then why didn't she summon it earlier to save her, but instead did it at that critical moment, and I was afraid that she would not die if she was late.
There are only two people who have escaped, and there is no white-haired one among the people who escaped? This matter cannot be verified, and the remaining one is no longer visible in its original appearance, so it is impossible to judge.
"Did the Archbishop catch them?" Amy didn't know what was going to happen next.
"It's not just them, but their accomplices who will catch them too. Colin seems to be very confident that the Holy See has believers all over the world, and it will not be difficult for the archbishop to catch the witch, and the Queen Mother has already ordered that it will definitely catch people.
Amy stopped stopping him, and it was enough for her to know what she wanted to know.
At first, she thought it was only dragons, but she didn't expect to involve witches. However, it was Gwynlith's intuition that the witch had something to do with it, and there was no real evidence to show it, so she had to ask for it herself.
"Queen Mother, do you really think witches have something to do with dragons?" asked Amy as she ran up to Gwen and asked.
"You don't need to care about this matter, it only matters that you think about your marriage to the duke. Gwen didn't answer her question. In her opinion, Amy will leave the royal capital soon, so don't think about it at this time, and this is not something she should worry about.
Amy was a little disappointed that she got such a reply, can't she know about national affairs as a princess?
Thinking about marriage? Amy wondered if the Queen Mother had told the Duke if she had not.
"Does Lord Nord know about this?" Amy asked her bluntly, she didn't say anything when she was outside just now, and now she could ask.
"Yes. Gwen replied in the affirmative, and noticing that she addressed the Duke, from Duke Odohono to Lord Nord, there must have been something going on.
"And what did he say?" asked Amy, the duke's attitude was important to the success of the marriage, and if he did not agree, the marriage would most likely be annulled.
"Not yet, but he'll agree. Gwen replied. Gwen didn't tell the truth about this sentence, and when she brought it up, the duke denied it, which is really ridiculous.
Gwen will not give up easily, for the sake of the stability of the royal family, she will definitely find a way to marry the princess. The Duke objected at the time, but there were still a few days to go, didn't he?
"Why are you so sure, don't you want to use the king's order to force him to agree?" Amy was uncomfortable, tears glistening in her eyes.
"Pay attention to your attitude, you are talking to your mother. Gwen was very unhappy, Amy's appearance really lost her status as a princess, she was completely no different from the wild girl in the market, and she didn't know what respect was.
"Well, Queen Mother, why are you so sure?" said Amy, biting her lip, word by word, she wondered why.
"Marriage is a tradition that has been around since ancient times, and the relationship between the royal family and the duke is upheld, and this does not change because of one person's thoughts. Gwen's words were simple, even without the king's decree, the marriage would not be affected, because no one could go against such a tradition.
Amy didn't cry when she heard this, but laughed. Is this excuse still in use? It is not enough to say it once or twice, should it be said like this forever? What kind of tradition is not enforced by order in the end.
Speaking of marriage, Amy wanted to laugh out loud, why didn't she dare to say the real reason? Now there are several duke's heirs at the banquet, no matter how you look at them, they are more suitable candidates for marriage, but Gwen will not choose them, because she wants to make up for the king's mistakes and calm people's hearts.
The two of them had already said about it, but Gwenlith still didn't want to admit it, insisting on her own statement. Amy knows that this is to protect the king's reputation, and marriage is a good thing in the past, but marrying in order to make up for mistakes will damage the king's reputation, but don't you dare to say it to herself?
For the sake of the royal family and the safety of Xueman, as long as Gwen speaks out, Amy will compromise, not for King Connor, but for King Jamie, whose hard work must be protected, and she is willing to protect it.
"Amy, I see you're a little uncomfortable, so let's go back and rest. Gwen saw her unusual behavior and didn't want to say anything more.
"No, I'm fine. Amy shook her head, replied in the affirmative, and then resolutely turned away.
She rushed out of the hall, not caring even if the hot milk in the maid's hand was sprinkled on her skirt, and rushed out of the hall with everyone's stunned expressions.
Outside, her tears finally couldn't be stopped.
At this point, Gwen is still cheating on her, which is what makes her the most painful.
At first, she had a glimmer of hope that if the Duke objected, Gwen would cancel the marriage. Even if she has to marry, at least she has to tell the truth, everyone knows what she knows, why don't you say it?
At this time, she felt that her body was surrounded by something.
She turned to see the Duke draped his fur coat over her.
Amy involuntarily lay on top of the Duke and cried loudly.
