Chapter 41: The Engagement Dinner (4)

And Theresia is much more sluggish and cold than Charles in this relationship, she grew up in the court and didn't have much contact with men, so she didn't know much about love.

Even now, she doesn't know if she loves Charles, maybe she just likes it, maybe she just has a slight affection, Theresia can't be completely sure, but one thing is that he doesn't hate Charles, and he doesn't reject Charles's approach, in the eyes of Theresia, a cold beauty, this should be regarded as liking.

After almost ten years of contact, Theresia knows Charles's temperament very well, although he has always been very positive and enthusiastic in front of him, but Theresia knows that Charles is essentially an arrogant person.

In ten years, she had never seen Charles look so decadent as he did today, and naturally she had never seen Charles so humble as he did today, and Theresia's heart was shaken at this moment.

Speaking of which, in this relationship, it can be regarded as betraying Charles first.

As the princess of the empire, Theresia has always put the interests of the empire first, and has always put the royal position first, and never thought about and decided from her own point of view. Even her relationship with Charles is true.

Because choosing Charles did not help her in any way, she finally decided to give up the relationship and chose to marry the Situ family.

As the princess of the Yarrow Empire and the future king of Orlando, Theresia has known her mission since she was a child, and she has always been clear about her position, even if something is slightly out of her control, she will soon regain a firm grip on everything.

But no matter how rational she is, in the final analysis, Theresia is just a person, it is impossible for a person to completely get rid of seven emotions and six desires, it is impossible for a person to completely control everything, maybe it is because she has been rational for too long, maybe she has given up too much, at this moment, looking at the eyes of Charles looking at herself, Theresia suddenly wants to be willful and willful at all times, no matter what the result is, as long as it is once.

Just promise him, Theresia said to herself inwardly.

In the banquet hall, the eyes of the people who were waiting for Charles to be directly rejected by Theresia widened, and the side they imagined did not happen, the kid who stood in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess and wanted to invite Her Royal Highness to dance was not directly rejected by the Princess, not only that, looking at Her Royal Highness's current look, many people have a hunch that Her Royal Highness the Princess seems to be about to agree to the kid's invitation, what is the situation?

Thinking of this, these people quickly turned their eyes to Situ Jin, who was standing on the other side, to see how he reacted, but unfortunately, everyone saw a blank face, as if everything Charles and Theresia did had nothing to do with him.

"Hey, that kid from the Situ family wouldn't be like this, would he?

"I've always heard that Earl Situ's eldest son has a low status in the family, and when I first saw that kid, I still wondered, how could such a talented person not be valued by the family, and now it seems that the kid is a soft bone at all, no wonder he has no status in the family. ”

"Sure enough, you were scared and didn't dare to step forward?"

"It's a pity that such a handsome little handsome guy looks like he's so timid and scared!"

The mainland of Ceylon admired force, and both the aristocracy and the common people despised the faint-hearted. Especially the aristocracy, although they themselves are very weak, but they take whether they have a brave heart as a measure of whether a person is really a nobleman, you can not beat others, but if you don't fight and admit it, then you are definitely a soft egg.

In fact, Charles went to invite Theresia to dance, Situ Jin really didn't care, but in the eyes of others, he didn't see it that way, in everyone's opinion, this was Situ Jin's performance of admitting cowardice under Charles's provocation.

Although most of the men present didn't want either Charles or Situ Jin to dance with their goddess, Situ Jin was the hero of this engagement banquet after all, and Charles was not!

When Charles stood up and invited Theresia to dance, everyone was no longer concerned about who would dance with Theresia, but on whether a person who was provoked had the courage to respond to others' provocations against him. Obviously, Situ Jin has made everyone despise him fiercely.

The eldest prince Robert was standing with Situ Nan at the moment, he glanced at Situ Jin, and suddenly smiled: "Count Situ, no wonder you never mention your father-in-law in front of me, compared to your second child, it is indeed a little unsightly, not long after he appeared, he was crushed by the kid of the Chaplin family!"

Although Situ Nan's face was very calm, no one could see what he really thought in his heart, and after being silent for a while, he spoke: "That kid in my family is not angry, and he makes the eldest prince laugh." ”

"Hahaha" Robert laughed, looking in a good mood, but his voice turned low when he spoke again: "It's really embarrassing for my royal brother and sister, in order to pull out someone from your family to provoke the relationship between you and me, they have exhausted all their strength!"

Situ Nan's face was still calm: "The eldest prince, please rest assured, although he is engaged to Her Royal Highness the Princess, he is just an outcast of our family, and everything he does cannot represent our Situ family, even if he really stands on the side of the Second Prince and Her Royal Highness the Princess one day in the future, it is only his own choice." ”

"Of course I'm relieved. Robert smiled and said, "Whether this marriage is the intention of my father or simply the intention of my imperial sister, I have no doubt about the Situ family's loyalty to me." ”

Situ Nan bowed slightly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust in our Situ family." ”

Robert hurriedly said, "Count Situ, don't be polite to me! You have always been the person I trust the most." ”

Situ Nan's face finally showed a smile, and it was obvious that Robert's words made him very useful.

Next to Theresia, the second prince Ferdinand stood there, seeing that Theresia did not directly refuse Charles's invitation, and had a little intention of accepting this invitation, he hurriedly whispered to Theresia: "Imperial sister, you have figured out the situation! This is your engagement banquet with Situ Jin, and if you want to dance, you will dance with your fiancΓ©, how can you dance with other people?"

Theresia glanced at Ferdinand and said, "Brother Emperor, don't worry, I know what to expect." ”

Although Situ Jin's eyes were looking at Theresia and Charles, if he looked closely, he would find that there was no focus in his gaze at all, and what he was thinking about now was when this damn banquet would end? What a waste of time to stand like this! Just when he felt a little impatient, he saw Xiu's figure walking towards him.

Soon, Xiu walked in front of Situ Jin, but his face was much more serious than before he went out: "Young Master, something happened." These were the first words that Xiu said after he came over.
