Chapter 43: The Engagement Dinner (6)
This marriage with the Situ family was only the most common political marriage in the upper class, and Theresia never thought about who the person she married was, let alone to know about this person.
No matter who this person was, it didn't matter to Theresia in her eyes, and she didn't even bother to bother remembering this person, as long as it was Situ Nan's biological son.
A tool is a tool, and its role is to meet the needs of the people who use it, and it is simply unrealistic to expect that the people who use it will remember everything about it after using it.
Theresia has long had a clear position on this marriage, but after all, it is also a transaction, and the necessary little thought still has to be spent, and soon, Theresia knew that the other party had no status in the family, and was a few years younger than herself, and it seemed that such a person was a blessing for him to become his own tool.
I have to say that when she saw Situ Jin for the first time, although Theresia was calm on her face, she was a little surprised in her heart, whether it was the appearance of a teenager or the temperament of a teenager, it was completely inconsistent with a frustrated aristocratic child who was not valued by the family.
Not only that, although the boy was expressionless throughout, Theresia still saw a trace of unintentional confidence and arrogance in his eyes, and what surprised Teresia the most was that the reaction of the other party after seeing her was completely different from the reaction of all the other men who saw her, it was a kind of indifference, complete indifference.
However, even so, Theresia was only a little surprised, and the three words of Situ Jin, including this person, still did not leave too many traces in her heart. But at this moment, Theresia found that the teenager had indeed succeeded in leaving an indelible mark on her heart, albeit in a way that she did not like very much.
"Do you know who you're talking to right now?" After all, it wasn't an ordinary woman, and Theresia had calmed down.
"Huh~" was another chuckle, but Theresia heard a hint of disdain from this chuckle.
Because the faces of the two were now very close, Theresia could even clearly feel Situ Jin's breathing, hot, with a special fragrance that belonged to a man, very faint and light. Theresia's heart was inexplicably flustered, and she suddenly didn't dare to look into Situ Jin's eyes.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess" Situ Jin finally spoke: "The engagement banquet between you and me is not over yet, you can't wait to jump into the arms of another man?"
"What are you talking about?!" Theresia said coldly, the expression on her face finally no longer as plain as water.
Off the dance floor, everyone didn't know what happened between Theresia, Stuart and Charles, and it seemed to everyone that after Stuart Jin appeared, Charles took the initiative to back down, and Her Royal Highness finally chose to walk onto the dance floor with the future colt of the empire.
Looking at the couple of men and women clinging to each other on the dance floor, Charles's face was gloomy as if he could wring out water, although he didn't know what had just happened, why a force suddenly appeared to pull him away, but he had no doubt that the person who had played tricks on him was Situ Jin.
"Situ Jin, I want you to look good!" Charles had lost his mind, and he raised his feet and walked directly towards the dance floor, everything around him was no longer in his sight.
"Charles, calm me down, aren't you ashamed enough?" Suddenly, a hand suddenly appeared on Charles's shoulder, pressing Charles in place.
Charles looked up, his eyes finally regaining a hint of clarity: "Father." ”
That's right, the person who suddenly appeared in front of Charles was none other than the famous three-star star in the entire continent, Wycliffe Chaplin. Chaplin looked to be in his fifties, of medium build, with a high nose and a pursed mouth, and at first glance he was a rather resolute person. His appearance finally brought Charles to his senses.
"Hmph, a woman can make you like this, what a waste of what I've taught you over the years!" Chaplin glanced at Charles, and then whispered.
Charles lowered his head, and Nono didn't dare to squeak.
On the dance floor, Situ Jin still danced with Theresia to the music, and in the eyes of others, the actions of the two were obviously intimate, but only the parties knew that this was not the case, and it was the opposite.
"Before I met Her Royal Highness the Princess, I thought that Her Highness should be a little different from ordinary women, but now it seems that I was wrong. A look of mockery appeared on Situ Jin's face.
Not to be outdone, Theresia directly met Situ Jin's gaze: "I'm wondering, who gave you the guts to make you so presumptuous in front of me!"
"Don't serve your princess's shelf in front of me!" Situ Jin said coldly: "Since you want to use me, then show some sincerity!"
"What do you mean?" asked Theresia.
Situ Jin's nose had almost touched Terethea's, and he stared at Theresia's eyes: "Didn't you want to use me to provoke the relationship between our family and the eldest prince?
This time, Theresia sneered: "It's ridiculous! Situ Jin, are you thinking that you are too important!?"
"Heh~" Situ Jin chuckled again: "This is also what I want to say to you, Your Royal Highness Princess, I really don't matter that much, so it's still too late to regret the marriage now." ”
"You," Theresia could no longer continue, and after a while, she spoke, "Even so, I will not cancel our marriage. ”
"Oh?" Situ Jin's face retreated slightly, which made Theresia finally feel less difficult to breathe: "In that case, then Her Royal Highness the princess should clean herself up, because my eyes can't hold sand." ”
"You" Theresia just wanted to fight back against Situ Jin's words, when the music suddenly stopped, and at the end of the song, Theresia first felt her waist loosen, and then found that Situ Jin had completely let go of herself, turned around and walked out of the dance floor first, and then walked directly towards the hall door.
"Situ Jin?" Looking at Situ Jin's straight back, Theresia silently recited the name in her heart, it seems that this tool is not as easy to control as she imagined!
Theresia calmed down her heart, and then walked out of the dance floor with her feet up, and as soon as she got out of the dance floor, Ferdinand greeted her and said with a wicked smile: "Sister Huang, it seems that you and my future brother-in-law just had a good conversation!"
Theresia glanced at Ferdinand, and said in a cold voice with an expressionless face: "If it weren't for the fact that he still has value for us, I would have ordered him to be dismantled." ”
"Uh" Ferdinand felt a cold wind suddenly blowing towards him, and he saniently did not speak again.
After a while, Theresia took the initiative to speak: "Anyway, I hope my sacrifice is not in vain!"
"Imperial Sister" Ferdinand said: "Although the marriage with the Situ family is only a political marriage, in all fairness, I think Situ Jin is indeed a good person, at least hundreds of times stronger than that Charles."
The reason why Ferdinand said this is because when he was in the barracks before, Charles went to find the stubble of the 13th Battalion with Fowler, the quartermaster of the North Battalion, and he was also present at the time, and he also witnessed Charles's hypocrisy. However, it seems that it may be because he is too focused on Theresia that Charles obviously did not notice today that he had met His Royal Highness the Second Prince of the Empire.
"Brother Huang, don't say it. Theresia interrupted Ferdinand: "No matter what happens to the others, it has nothing to do with me, I just hope that this marriage will help you somewhat." ”
