Chapter 26: The Wedding March (7)
"Sister, what should I do?" Princess Saia woke up, and the first thing she saw was the faces of her mother and Catherine, and she immediately burst into tears.
Catherine held Sea's hand tightly, not knowing what to say.
Tanan walked into the room and whispered to Gu Shiyu: "Guzi, you come out." ”
Gu Shiyu walked out of the room with Tanan. Tanan sighed and said, "Guzi, you did a good job today and paralyzed Kendall, but after you entered the city, you were very wrong! How can you show your love for Princess Catherine in front of everyone? You should be lukewarm to her, which will make Kendall mistakenly think that you are not very worried and concerned about Princess Catherine!"
"I couldn't control myself at that time......" Gu Shiyu also realized his mistake.
"It's good now! Kendall knows that what you said to him at the gates was a lie. He's sure you're not going to ignore Catherine and Laurel, so he's not going to make any concessions!"
"Then what should I do?" Gu Shiyu was anxious.
Catherine couldn't let go and walked out.
"We're very passive now! Kendall has decided on you, he is now holding you by the neck and grasping the initiative in negotiations!"
"Why did you say I was ...... Alas!" Gu Shiyu stomped his feet and said, "What should we do now?"
"There's no better idea! Ask Princess Saiya how many royal guards she can control?"
"You mean a palace coup?" asked Catherine.
"There's only one way now!"
Catherine said: "I've learned a little bit about it these days. Although Princess Saiya is the crown prince of Erathia, she can't command the army, and the control of the army is all in the hands of Kendall!"
"Isn't there a warrior in the Royal Guard against Kendall?"
"Perhaps, but I believe very few! Kendall is in a state of confusion, but he has a very high prestige in the army. What's more, the Royal Guard is the most elite unit in the entire Erathia, and it is impossible for a warrior who is not loyal to him to enter the Royal Guard!"
"Then what should I do?" Gu Shiyu said nervously: "Or let's just ......"
"Guzi, I don't think you can succeed in assassinating him! He is the bravest warrior in Erathia, and you may not be able to beat him in his life! And over the years, there have been many people who want to assassinate him, which makes him very vigilant. I see he's wearing at least three layers of heavy armor!"
"Tanan, you...... Can you help me?" Gu Shiyu looked at Tanan expectantly.
"Guzi, I have been friends with him for decades, this will trap me in unkindness! In this case, what will the people of the world say about me?" Tanan shook his head categorically and said: "I can support you morally, I can help you find a way, but I will not help you use violent means." And, once you start carrying out your assassination plan, the royal guards supporting King Kendall will not rest on their laurels, and they will fight back angrily, so that you, Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine, and Her Majesty the Regent Laurel will be in danger!"
Tanan continued: "To do anything, you have to plan it successfully, and even prepare for it for a long time. Only when the plan has a good chance of success can it be put into practice. Guzi, you can only say that he is a fledgling hero now, and he is still a long way from a successful commander. Kendall is an old fox, he's thought through all the possibilities, and I don't think your adventure will succeed. ”
"There are three possibilities for you to assassinate: the first possibility is that you fall into the trap that Kendall has prepared for you, which I think is the most likely, the second possibility is that you succeed in assassinating Kendall, and then Iron Fist Castle and even the whole of Erathia will split into two factions, one for you and one against you, and finally a civil war will break out, and the third possibility is that the people of Iron Fist Castle will support you as soon as you succeed, but this possibility can be said to be very small. ”
"What then? I have to do something, I can't let him lead him by the nose! It's too much of a, and I might as well die with a bang!"
"Guzi, I don't allow you to take risks!" Catherine took Gu Shiyu's hand and looked up at him.
"Yes, Guzi! You can't be reckless!" Tanan said: "Only by living can there be hope! I advise you to accept Kendall's agreement for the time being, take one step at a time, things will always take a turn for the better!"
Catherine was still looking at Gu Shiyu, with tears in her eyes.
"But ......"
Catherine stopped her finger on Gu Shiyu's mouth and whispered, "I know what you want to say...... But now it seems that this is the only solution to the current dilemma...... I've been thinking countless times how nice it would be if I was just an ordinary woman, and I could live happily with you for the rest of my life...... But I'm from the Einfast family, and I have to put Erathia's interests above me, and I can't shirk my responsibilities!"
Tanan sighed and quietly walked away.
"Guzi, come with me for a walk in the garden! we haven't walked together in a long time......"
The stars in the sky are still twinkling. These stars, Gu Shiyu and Catherine stepped on the beach when they first fell in love, and counted many times when they looked up, how happy the two were at that time......
A meteor trails its long tail across the sky. Catherine stopped, folded her hands, closed her eyes and began to pray.
The evening breeze brought the quiet scent of flowers, blowing the tousled hair in Catherine's ears.
Gu Shiyu looked at her stupidly, touched her hair with his hand, and then gently held her in his arms.
How long can they hug each other like this? Neither of them wanted to speak, but silently felt the warmth transmitted from each other's limbs......
"Mother, what should I do?" Princess Saia looked at her mother with tears in her eyes.
"Promise your father's terms!" Her Majesty clasped her arms in her arms until the light of the meteor had faded away, and then turned from the window.
"Then what am I? a third party who breaks up someone else's marriage?"
"You didn't break up someone else's marriage. Her Majesty sat on the edge of the bed, took her hand and said, "That's what your father did...... But then again, he's doing it for you......"
"I don't think he's doing this for my good!" Saya wiped tears from her tears, "I've been rejected by the Chosen One once, do I have to be rejected by him again? He loves his sister deeply, and I don't blame him, but what will the world say about me? Am I a girl that no one wants?"
"Not so!" said Her Majesty the Queen, "Catherine has not forgotten the mission of the House of Ironfast, and you should keep it in mind. Relatively speaking, you are in a much better position than she is right now...... If the Chosen One sees the current form, he will also agree to your father's proposal. ”
"But that would break my sister's heart! I don't want to hurt her! Mother, my father is obviously wrong, why do you still help him speak?"
"I'm not just a mother, I'm a politician. But now I am in the shoes of a mother and a politician, and accepting the agreement is the best solution. Although your father did wrong, he is a king, and we can't let everyone question his mistakes, and even if they are wrong, they can't admit it, and we can only continue to make mistakes and find a way to remedy them later!"
"Oh my God, don't say it's the mission of the Ainfast family!"
"Yes, we must do our best to uphold the authority of the royal family, otherwise it will shake the ruling position of the entire family! You know the history of the Ainfast dynasty, which is the secret of our family's longevity. For more than a thousand years, we have defeated countless enemies with the precious wisdom left behind by our ancestors. You should be able to learn from this in your future life. ”
"Mother, I think there is too much dark side to that history, too much intrigues, too many betrayals and blood! I am not a king yet, but now my hands are stained with the blood of traitors! In the case of my sister, I feel that I am an unforgivable sinner!"
"I was once a pure maiden who knew nothing, and every day reveled in dreams of love......," said Her Majesty the Queen, "but now I feel that I am a wicked witch! My heart is no longer merciful, it is like a cold piece of iron. It is only in your presence that I feel that I am still a woman, a mother......"
"Mother, this is terrible!" said Seya, trembling.
Her Majesty hugged her trembling shoulders and comforted, "Until I die, I will take all my sins upon myself." I will watch over you like a lioness until you become a great leader!"
The night was already deep. Under the thick night, there are still many sleepless people......
Kendall woke up early and looked like he had a good night's sleep. But when he came to the restaurant, Gu Shiyu and Tanan were already dining there.
Kendall coughed heavily, then walked to the end of the table and sat down.
The guards hurriedly wrapped a white cloth around his placket. Kendall tapped his knife and fork on the plate and said, "Where's my wine? I'll have to drink a few glasses, it will make me more sober!"
When the guards were facing the valley, the rain was snorting.
In front of Gu Shiyu was a bottle of gold wine jug encrusted with jewels. He didn't even look at it, and as soon as he raised his hand, he flicked the flask over.
Kendall reached out and twisted it, feeling that it felt very light, and then shook it vigorously, and there was no sound in the pot.
He looked at Gu Shiyu in a daze for a long time, and finally laughed, and immediately beckoned to the guards: "Go, go get a few pots!" There are not only my best friends, but also my future son-in-law, I can't let them think I'm a stingy ghost!"
Gu Shiyu didn't refute, but just looked depressed.
Tanan smiled and said, "It seems that all the problems have been solved! Kendal, I won't wait to attend Princess Saiya's wedding and coronation! Now on the Diya border, there are still thousands of troops waiting for me!"
"How can that be done?" Kendall was anxious: "You can't go! You can't compare to me when you have a daughter, don't say you can't compare to me when you drink!
"I have to go! The current situation is very grim, but unfortunately there are still many people who think that the world is peaceful! I have to wake them up, otherwise when the flames of war reach under their eyebrows, it will be too late to regret it!"
"It seems that the world has been cracked into a pot of porridge!Eli and Erathia have been invaded by the Demon Clan, Dia is Sandru's undead legion, and Avili's Elemental City is Moriel's Black Dragon Legion. Only the Savage Lands, the Tytaria Marsh, and your Bracada have not yet been at war. ”
"The Demon Clan has sent their elite troops, and Moriel has also sent the elite, and her Black Dragon Legion has already made the Elemental Clan people unable to parry. What I'm most worried about now is the army of the undead of Blerion of the Grim Reaper, who only sent one legion to invade Dia, and where will he attack with twelve legions?"
"It is said that the underground entrance of the undead is in the snowfields of the far north. If they flock out of the ground, there are only two directions of attack, one is to attack Bracada to the west and the other is to continue to attack Dia to the south. ”
"The defense line of the Great Wall of the Snow Plains in the north has been abandoned for a long time! It seems that all of our clans have to send troops to defend the defense line of the Snow Plains, otherwise the undead legion will bring great disasters to all races after successfully passing through the Great Wall and entering the entire continent!"
