Which is more important to sacrifice the happiness of one person, save the lives of tens of thousands or even more, and save the dignity of the royal family?

From a bystander's point of view, sacrificing one of my happiness is obviously the most moral and universal value choice. Comparing the pen and the www.biquge.info and thousands, the weight of the former is always insignificant!

People like to see people sacrifice for something, and they like this kind of tragic story, which may be a kind of extreme character flaw in everyone's heart.

From another perspective, sacrifice yourself to benefit tens of millions of other family members, what will you choose?

Some people choose to follow the kidnapping of morals and values, passively or even actively sacrificing themselves to save others. This kind of person is indeed worthy of respect, whether it is happiness or life, it is very cruel to a human being who is alive, has sound limbs and has enough independent personality and wisdom.

But more people will choose another answer, and that is to refuse.

Why did you sacrifice me to save everyone?

Why didn't I sacrifice you to save me?

Selfishness is not a shameful thing, human beings cannot prevent selfishness from being born and growing, just as human beings cannot live without oxygen.

Faced with the final decision of Empress Pars, Goliath locked herself in her room for five days. During these five days, she barely ate much, and washed her face with tears all day. Married to a man twenty years older than herself, and the Empress of Pars told him that he must please this man, and he could agree to any request if necessary. In this moment, her values and worldview collapsed.

She remembered a knightly novel she had read, in which the vicious stepmother Queen said to the princess: You can resist, but you can't refuse!

How similar is the current situation to what happened in the knight's novel?

She is being persecuted, but where is the knight who belongs to her?

As a royal princess, she actually understood why she was not canonized like her older brothers and sisters, and still lived in the center of this empire. She also understands that she can't decide her own marriage, and she has to contribute her meager strength, that is, her body, to the Orlando family. But she never imagined that she would marry a man twenty years older than her.

That's not a partner, it's an elder!

She hated the ruthlessness of Empress Pars, and treated her personal feelings as a frivolous pastime.

She hated herself, she was born in such a family, and she did not dare to resist the demands from the patriarch.

She hated the Archduke of Joan of Arc and her sons even more, and they probably didn't know that when Goliath was young, she had made her an idol and a target when she read about what the Archduke had done.

All of this was ruined by such a marriage.

Holding the dagger tightly in her hand, her eyes flashing with determination, she took the dagger and gestured at her wrist, but she still didn't have the courage to take that step.

Just as she was hesitating to prove that she wasn't ridiculous in another way, there was a knock on the door to the room.

"Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty has instructed you to change into a dress as soon as possible, the concubine of the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc has arrived at the palace, and he wants to see you. ”

True courage is a wonderful thing, this kind of thing is born only at the end of fear, and now Goliath has not yet reached that point, she is not afraid to despair, so she puts down the dagger and gives herself an excuse.

I didn't dare to pay with my life to make Pars realize that I wasn't a commodity, but I wanted to see if the man who might marry me was good enough.

When she thought of the word excellent, she couldn't help but think of Wren's shadow in her mind. This is not to say how good and perfect Wren is in Golia's mind, but to find the tallest person among the many dwarfs, and this person is Wren.

After silently changing her clothes, Goliath silently followed the maid through the long corridor and into the side hall.

In fact, the palace was not as big as people imagined, and the moment the maid opened the door for her, she felt an undisguised gaze fall on her, scrutinizing back and forth, and finally stopping on her face. She looked up and looked at her, and the person who looked at her was very manly, dressed in tall clothes, meticulous hair, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes on her handsome face, and her skin was fairer than that of many women.

This is a very handsome man, and his gaze is full of aggression, as if he has stripped Goliath naked. She lowered her head, her face flushed slightly, and walked slowly towards the Empress of Pars.

This man is the only child of the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc, or the only child still alive.

His name is Asomend, and he has received the most standard aristocratic elite education since he was a child, and he can't see much of the frivolity of the sons of the nobles, and the first feeling is very positive. It's just that his eyes make Golia very annoying, that kind of look is not like looking at a woman, but looking at a piece of goods, and he also evaluated, and finally showed a satisfied look.

This kind of look made Goliath deeply disgusted, and she kept the expression on her face as much as possible without much change, walked up to the two of them, lifted the corner of her skirt and saluted.

"This is my sister Goliath, and her beauty is so beautiful that even the stars in the sky need to avoid her beauty. Empress Pars seemed to be in a good mood, at least she could still smile, "How is it, Mr. Assholmend, are you still satisfied with your future partner?", the smiling Empress Palms may not have much like Assomend in her heart.

As an emperor of the empire, she was forced by her courtiers to marry her sister to a man twenty years older than her, which in itself was a humiliation to the imperial family and the female emperor of the empire. But now she must accept this humiliation, for she needs the strength of the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc. At least, it is not possible to push the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc to the other side.

In fact, if you think about it strictly, the reason for this result is also caused by Empress Pars herself.

She didn't like the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc, who was bound to find a way to protect her power and the legitimate rights of her descendants, so she had to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds.

This way is marriage.

If Assomend could become the brother-in-law of the Empress of Pars, then everything would be solved. However, from the beginning, the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc did not mention the princess who had not yet been separated from the royal family, but aimed directly at the Empress Pars.

So many times, there is not much difference between politicians and businessmen, one buys and sells goods, and the other buys and sells power. Joan of Arc publicly offered a sky-high price, in order to remind the Empress of Pars that she still had a choice.

Who's the other option?

Of course, there is no need to doubt that it is Goliath!

The Grand Duke of Joan of Arc never considered that Empress Pars would marry a nobleman of non-golden blood, so she gave Empress Pars a chance to make a counteroffer, which was also a step, but also a metaphorical threat and compromise.

The proposal to the Empress of Pars was to show the Empress that the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc was not afraid of the majesty of the royal family. By giving Empress Pars room to make a counteroffer, she is also telling her that we can follow your will as much as we can accept.

I asked for a gem, and you gave me a beautiful stone, so I agreed, so that the previous things were forgotten?

After Archduke Assholmander married Golia, the power of the Archduke of Joan of Arc became the power of the royal family, and the Empress of Pars no longer had to regard the Archduke of Joan of Arc and Assomend as potential enemies, and the family would continue. As long as the empire is immortal, the family will exist forever, and will exist as a transcendent royal in-law.

As for whether the rebels can be defeated, the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc has never doubted the strength and skill of the Orlando family, no matter how widespread the civil war is, no matter how cruel the war is, it will be the royal family who will win in the end.

After introducing Goliath to Assomend, Empress Pars smiled at the princess sister who was about to go crazy with her envy, "This is the only heir to the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc and the next heir to the duchy." I've inquired about it, and Asomend's reputation has always been very good, and he is definitely a model of nobility. ”

This sentence is not to compliment Assomend, and it is true, at least on the surface, there is nothing to investigate about Assomend's virtues, he is like a perfect person, as if he does not exist in this world.

Empress Pars stood up, took Goliath's hand, pressed her to the sofa not far from Solmende, and squeezed Golia's shoulder, "I still have some official business to deal with, you can talk about it first, Assomend, I will go back after dinner today, I have some rare good ingredients here." ”

Assomend immediately stood up and sent Empress Pars away, and when Empress Pars's back disappeared, there was a faint greed in his eyes. The principality can no longer satisfy his yearning and pursuit of power, only the empire is in line with his talent and strength!

Comparing the conquest of a princess with the conquest of an emperor, he prefers to conquer the princess and the emperor at the same time.

Emperor, what a great title!

As the slightest movement occurred in his mind, a lightning bolt shot out of the void that was invisible to the naked eye, slashing at his shoulder. The corners of his eyes twitched, and all the thoughts in his heart instantly disappeared, and he regained his calm.

He turned around, like a gentleman of nobles, showing his white teeth, and smiling as if he had practiced it thousands of times, "Beautiful Princess Golia, if it is convenient, can you lead me around?"
