Loneliness gnawed at the film from the inside out. At night, Filin wondered what would happen if he dared to go upstairs and knock on Ariana's door.

After dawn, he pulled himself away from the little wolf who was completely dependent on Film. There is only one other creature in the castle that is as lonely as Filin.

"Filin is sure you have other tasks, but why do you still come and see Filin every day?" asked Floya in a straightforward manner with the mountain people.

I remember it was around 10 a.m., the day after the blizzard hit.

Snowflakes fell, but Floya ordered all the blinds to be opened in spite of the cold, so that she could look outside.

She looked out over the sea in the sewing room, and he thought it was the uneasy surface of the water that attracted her, and her eyes were almost the same color as the sea that day.

"Filin has to help you find a way to pass the time happily, Your Highness the Princess. ”

"Passing the time?" she sighed, leaning her elbows to her cheeks, staring desolate at the snow outside the window, the sea breeze blowing her hair.

"It's strange what you're saying. When you say to pass the time, it's like people talk about the passing wind in the kingdom of the mountains, like something that wants to get rid of it. ”

Her little maid, Rosemary, sat at her feet, giggling and burying her face in her hands, and the other two maids snickered knowingly, and then diligently lowered their heads and continued their needlework.

There was a large framed embroidery in Floya's room, with the base of a mountain and a waterfall, and he didn't notice how quickly she was progressing.

The other maids who served her did not show up today, but they made up long explanations of the reasons why they could not accompany her, and most of them were headaches.

She didn't seem to understand that their ignorance had made her despised, and he didn't know how to explain it to her, and sometimes even wondered if Filmin should do it, and today was the time.

Filin moved in his chair, crossing his legs. What Filmin meant was that in the winter, Fort Stag would become a pretty boring place, because the weather would make people snuggle up in their houses and have nothing to do. ”

"Not so in a shipbuilder's canopy. She told Filin that her eyes looked wonderfully longing.

"It was very busy and lively, and the workers would make the most of every sunny day to place timber and bent sticks;

And when it's dark or windy, shipbuilders are still busy chopping, chipping and planing timber in the shed.

In the iron-making area, workers made chains and anchors, some weaved sturdy sails for sailing, others cut and sew, and Hermes walked around and supervised all the work.

Fei Lin could only sit here and weave embroidery, even if he pricked his fingers and his eyes were tired, but he still had to embroider the eyes of flowers and birds.

So when he's done, he'll be able to put it aside with other beautiful pieces to cool off. ”

"Oh, please don't leave it aside, my queen. One maid suddenly and impulsively blurted out, "Your embroidery is a precious gift." Clausius has your framed embroidery there, Sir Humsey's room, and the Duke of Kerva of Violet......"

Floya's sigh cut off the maid's compliment.

"Filin would rather work on a ship, building his husband's warship with huge iron needles and hardwood spikes, which would be worth Filin's time and his respect.

However, they give Filmin toys to please Film, as if Filmin is a spoiled child who doesn't know how to use his time properly. She turned her head to the window. At this time, he noticed that the smoke rising from the dock was as clear as the sea, and perhaps Filin had mistaken the direction she was looking at, and it turned out that she had been paying attention to the shed of the shipbuilding.

"Should Filin send someone to bring tea and cakes, Queen?" asked the other maid hopefully. They both sat in cloaks, and Floya didn't seem to notice the cold sea breeze pouring in through the windows. Obviously, it was really uncomfortable for the two sitting maids to constantly do needlework under the cold wind.

"If you want. Floya replied uninterestedly.

"Not hungry or thirsty, really. I did needlework all day, eating here and drinking there, I was really afraid of getting fat, and I was eager to do something useful.

Tell me Film, Katz, if you don't feel the need to come to see Film, will you sit in your room or embroider in front of the loom?"

"No, it won't. But Filmin is not a princess. ”

"Princess? Well, he now finally understands the true meaning of this title. There was a bittersweet tone in her tone that Filmin hadn't heard before.

"But what about the queen? In my land, people don't speak of queens. If it had been a film instead of my father, I would have been called a sacrifice. And for the sake of the country's peace and security, he will really sacrifice sacrifices.

"What would you do if you were still in the mountains in the middle of winter?" Filin asked, just looking for a more comfortable place to continue talking, but that was wrong.

She fell silent and stared out the window. "In the mountains," she said softly, "there is never a time for boredom. Because of Film's relative youth, most of the sacrifices were borne by Film's father and brother.

But as Tiger said, people always have something to do, and they can even give some to others.

But here at Fort Buck, the servants do everything well, and always keep you from seeing it, at most let you see the result, like meat in a tidy room and on a table. Maybe it's because of the large population!"

She paused, looking away. "During the winter months in Berkeley, the hall and the city are silent. The snow was heavy and heavy, and the cold winds raged on the land, and the roads that were not often walked disappeared in this winter.

Walking or horseback riding replaced the car dealership, and the visitors had already made their way home.

In Berkeley's palace, there are only the royal family and those who choose to stay and help. Not to serve them, not exactly. If you've ever been to Berkeley, you know that the people there don't just serve or protect the royal family.

At Berkeley, he would get up early to fetch water for the family and then it would be Film's turn to stir the contents of the kettle.

Rui Sini, Sinic, Qiao Feng and Filin will chat in the kitchen to make it lively.

Then all the young people would come and go and bring firewood back, lay out the plates and talk a thousand things. She stammered, and Filin heard her lonely silence.

She went on after a while: "If there's work to be done, whether it's heavy or light, people will participate.

Filin has broken branches to secure a barn, even helped clear snow in the dead of winter, and rebuilt roof arches for a helpless family on fire.

Do you think that a man who can sacrifice a sacrifice will not be able to defeat a weak old bear who wants to kill a goat, or that he will not be able to tighten the rope and repair a bridge that has been washed away by the flood?" she looked at Filin with pain in her eyes.

"Here, in Fort Buck, people don't let the princess take risks. Filin told her briefly. "Let other people's shoulders tighten the ropes! There are hunters who rush to hunt down the beasts that attack cattle and sheep for honor, but there is only one queen, and what the queen can do, others may not be able to do. ”

In the room behind the people, the maids forgot about her presence, and one of them summoned the manservant, and in a short time he returned with a sweet cake and a pot of hot tea.

They gathered together to chat and warm their hands with their teacups, and he glanced at them briefly, wondering who had been chosen to accompany the queen. Floya, in Firin's opinion, is probably not an easy queen to wait for.

Her little maid, Rosemary, sat on the floor by the coffee table, her dreamy eyes and her hands clenched on a piece of sweet cake. Filming suddenly wished he was eight years old again, and then join her.

"Filin knows what you're talking about. Floya said bluntly. "Filin is here to help Hermes have an heir. Filmin doesn't shirk this responsibility, because Filmin doesn't see it as a responsibility, it's a pleasure.

Fei Lin only wants Fei Lin's husband to share Fei Lin's feelings, but he is always far away from the city to run errands. Filin knew where he was today, just below, watching his ship rise from the planks and timber.

Of course, as long as Filin can produce an heir for him, he is the only one who can be the father of the child.

Why did he keep Fei Lin here when he was busy defending the country and the people? Since it was a sacrifice, he should share this responsibility for the five principalities. ”

Although Filmin was accustomed to the straightforward way of speaking of the mountain people, her outspokenness still shocked Film, and Film's answer seemed reckless.

Fihrin got up and leaned against the window behind her, tied the blinds tightly to keep out the cold wind that kept pouring in through the window, and took the opportunity to come close to her ear and say excitedly, "If you think that this is the only duty of the Queen, you are very wrong, my queen. Be honest like you do!

You neglect your duties to your maids, who are here to chat with you. Can't they do needlework in the warmth of their own room, or accompany the anxious master?

You lament that you can't be with the king, because you think it's a more important task, but it's a duty that people are talking about now, and that's what the king himself can't do, and that's exactly what you need to do.

Recreate the Stag Fort court and make it a charming and attractive place to encourage nobility

Behave well with the maids to attract the king's attention and make them do everything they can to support the king's cause. It has been a long time since there has been a competent queen in the court, and Rong Feilin advises you to perform the duties assigned to you and make yourself competent and happy, rather than standing here and watching others build ships. ”

I'm afraid it will be difficult to realize Filin's wish in a short period of time.

Filin arranged the tapestry covering the blinds to block the cold sea breeze, and walked back to look at the queen.
