Chapter 249: The Princess and the Chips
Chapter 2 White 49
Neil didn't know if Marcus had agreed to Auston's conditions at that time, but Neil could think of it with his toes that he definitely agreed, otherwise, how could they get out of the palace?
Sure enough, Elena looked at him with a smile on her face and said, "Your Excellency Gulas, do you remember?" and looked at Neil with anticipation in her eyes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Neil nodded, and was about to speak, when suddenly there was a pain in the soft flesh in his waist, and Shirley's voice sounded: "Gulas, when did you meet Princess Elena, ah?!"
Neil gasped and said, "Two years ago." ”
"Two years ago?!Then why didn't you tell me?!" Shirley said angrily.
"Miss Shirley, please don't be so rude to the future prince of the kingdom. Elena said to Shirley with a little majesty.
After hearing Elena's words, Shirley's face changed greatly, and she looked at Neil in disbelief and said, "The future prince?!You are engaged to him?!"
Neil was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained: "This matter is too complicated, I'll explain it to you when I go back, how about it?"
Shirley snorted angrily, pulled Masters' robe, and said, "Okay, grandpa, let's go! This is their housework, let's leave it alone!"
Master looked at Neil helplessly and shook his head, he was originally called by Shirley, and it was not two minutes now, and he had to leave again, which made him feel very helpless. However, he gave Neil a deep look as he left, which made Neil feel very uneasy.
"By the way, Lord Gulas, is there any dispute between you and the Lion King?" asked Elena, looking at the Lion King calmly. Although the Lion King was powerful in the kingdom of Moses, he could not be regarded as a real royal family, at most a peripheral member of the royal family. All his power comes from the support of the royal family of Moses, so Elena does not have any respect for this lion king at all, on the contrary, this lion king must also bow to Elena. As it is now, from the time Elena appeared until this time, the Lion King bent down extremely respectfully to express his respect for Elena, and he did not dare to raise his head without Elena speaking.
Neil looked at the Lion King, who was still menacing just now, and now he was crawling there like a stray dog, and he felt very funny. However, he had no intention of borrowing Elena's power. Neil knows that he will have to mix in the Southern Alliance for a period of time in the future, so he must have a certain reputation, a reputation that is awe-inspiring. And the lion king in front of him is undoubtedly a good opportunity to make a name.
Neil shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just a deal to talk to him." ”
Elena frowned slightly, and said, "Do you need my help?" Neil's tone indicated that he didn't want to have too much contact with him, much to Elena's displeasure. No matter what, he has a marriage contract with himself, even if he doesn't want to, he has to accept it, and the one who promised the marriage contract for him is still his teacher, which undoubtedly guarantees the legitimacy of the marriage contract.
However, what Elena doesn't know is that Neil's thoughts are very different from hers, although Neil has also been trained in aristocratic etiquette by Helldem since he was a child, but Neil's thoughts are undoubtedly influenced by another world, and Neil doesn't value the marriage contract set by his parents so much. Neil has always believed that only love can make a marriage happy, not profit.
Neil shook his head and said, "No, I can fix it myself." After speaking, Neil said to the Lion King: "Okay, Your Excellency the Lion King, I must take this elf away, you can make an offer." ”
The Lion King lowered his head, his face cloudy, not knowing what was going on in his mind. However, he still said very respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Prince said that he laughed, His Highness can just take it away, it is my honor to serve His Highness!"
A mocking smile appeared on Neil's lips and said, "Are you sure?"
Without raising his head, the Lion King said without hesitation, "Yes, Your Highness." ”
Neil nodded and said, "Well, I still have something to do, like a farewell." With that, Neil nodded to Elena and pulled the elf girl to leave. Since the Lion King is afraid that Elena will not dare to make a request, then he will not be polite.
"Wait a minute!" Elena grabbed Neil and said, "Your Excellency Gulas, I still have some things I would like to ask your Excellency. With that, he looked at Neil expectantly.
Neil looked at Elena's eyes, felt a little unbearable, nodded, and said, "Okay." Although Elena is the princess of the kingdom and has enjoyed the most luxurious life since she was a child, her heart is very lonely. In addition to the cultivation of magic, it is the study of aristocratic etiquette, the study of various political means, and, the most pitiful thing is that from the time she was sensible, she knew that she was just a bargaining chip in the kingdom, a bargaining chip used in exchange for more benefits. She lives only to bring more benefits to the kingdom, and other than that, there is no other meaning.
This kind of life is very miserable, or rather, very desperate.
It wasn't until Neil appeared that Elena found a chance to change her life. Although she knew that her grandfather had betrothed her to Neil, it was also to make the kingdom more profitable, and he also saw her as a bargaining chip. However, Elena knew that this might be the best choice for herself, and it was the best ending that Auston could give her. If Neil is missed, then she may be married to other kingdoms, to those princes who spend all day drinking and extravagant. Elena couldn't tolerate something like that.
Moreover, Elena found that she really fell in love with the fanciful man in front of her. She does not allow herself to miss out on hope, the hope of living a real life, a truly happy life. Even though she knew that Neil didn't like her and that Neil already had Shirley by his side, she still wanted to give it a try and wanted to do her part.
She succeeded.
Seeing the mixed look of gratitude and joy in Elena's eyes, Neil shook his head, if he had decisively rejected her just now, it would have nothing to do with him, and he wouldn't feel like he owed something like he did now. However, Neil felt that he had done nothing wrong, and he could not bear to see a person's hopes dashed. If you have hope, you can continue to live and live like a person. Neil knew that if he had rejected Elena just now, Elena would never come to disturb him again, and he and Elena would never have any intersection again. But, at the same time, Elena will lose the glimmer of hope that she has won so hard to find, and once again become a bargaining chip.
