Chapter 138: It's better not to see

For this princess Fili, O'Faryl's mood is also a little complicated. In Yuren's opinion, this is a woman who has no judgment at all, and is slow and unresponsive. In one sentence, it is the type of "even if we sell her to the Sith to be a prostitute, she will smile and count the money for us". Of course, O'Faryl was well aware that what Yuren said was nothing more than a complaint. She understood what Yulian was thinking, after all, long before the action, her lord had prepared all kinds of words, with her familiarity with Yulian, it was conceivable that Yulian was already full of confidence and certainty, and used her own means and words to deceive Her Royal Highness the princess. But reality is often much crueler than dreams - and instead of being the slightest bit clever, Her Royal Highness is a very loose person. After listening to Yuren's story, she believed him completely without the slightest question. And this is the basis of Yuren's depression, Ofariel knows very well that people like Lord Xiang will enjoy the process of testing each other, attacking, and defending between conversations. In fact, O'Faryl is the same, although she is not very fond of political affairs, but when discussing these issues with others, she will use various language arts, through psychological tactics such as deception, misdirection, and suggestion to achieve her own goals. And the satisfaction that comes from such efforts is indescribable.

For example, it is like a merchant saying "I'm going to sell you" to his slave, and then analyzing him from several aspects, such as his background, value, culture, and market trends, and finally convincing him to sell himself. This will give the businessman confidence and confidence in his own wisdom and talents. However, if he said to the slave "I'm going to sell you", and the slave nodded his head in agreement without any doubts and without raising any questions, it would definitely not give people a psychological satisfaction!

And the reason why Yulian complained was precisely for this reason, because this princess Fili was so natural, that he felt like an idiot after so much planning in advance! This can also be understood by Ofariel, because she also felt the same way during her contact with this princess, after all, what Yuren did this time must not be exposed, once the truth is discovered, then things will be very bad. So although Fili's behavior has always been natural, Ofariel is still cautious in front of her. After all, she is not familiar with Princess Fili, so naturally she has no foundation to trust. And they can't let their guard down, after all, so-called habits become natural. If they are too relaxed in front of Her Royal Highness the princess, then there is a possibility that they will be overshadowed when facing other people in the future, which is naturally the last thing they want to see.

Frankly speaking, for O'Fariel, this princess is really not seen if she can't see it. But things are really bad at the moment, she knows very well who is coming this time, but she didn't expect him to come here so quickly, if he is allowed to see Princess Fili, then this matter will definitely not end like this!

"Miss O'Faryl?"

The door opened, and Firi appeared in front of O'Faryl, her expression full of confusion and curiosity, although her actual age was much older than O'Faryl, but judging from her expression alone, it would make people mistakenly think that O'Faryl was her sister.

"What's the matter?"

"That's right. ”

Ofariel took a deep breath and looked at Firi.

"In fact, the royal family has sent someone to Twilight Castle now......... Rest assured, Princess Fili, they are not coming for you, well, in fact, they are not aware of your existence. And we don't want you to be discovered by them, so ........." said O'Faryl, smiling helplessly at Firi. "I think you have to stay in your room these days and try not to go out......... Of course, in order not to get bored, I will stay with you as well. In fact, that's what I'm here for. ”

"Really?"

Hearing this, Fili's face suddenly brightened, and she opened the room, and at the same time made an inviting gesture in an elegant posture.

"That's great, come in, Miss O'Faryl, and honestly, I'm glad to have someone to talk to me. ”

β€œ...............”

Infariel froze for a moment in the face of Fili's warm and unintentional invitation, then sighed helplessly, and then she walked into the room.

I have to say that Yu Lian still takes good care of this princess, this room is very luxurious, the decoration is very comfortable, although the furniture is a little old, but the hard work of the maids still shows their due brilliance. And this princess Fili did not have the squeamishness of those noble women, she seemed to be quite satisfied with the environment here. Of course, in order to prevent anyone from noticing her presence or gossiping, Yuren basically forbade her to appear outside the castle. In other words, Her Royal Highness is under house arrest. However, Fili herself was not at all conscious, and according to the Wandering Maid, who was in charge of the care and "surveillance", Her Royal Highness lived happily and happily every day, always basking in the sun on the balcony, and then walking back to her room to read some poetry books and bards, etc., followed by a quiet tea and a view.

I have to say that those who can enjoy house arrest and enjoy this level of enjoyment, even if they are not the ones who have not seen the newcomers, can be regarded as having never seen the ancients before.

"There are only two possibilities, or this princess is a super conspirator who can even be fooled by us. Either she's a stupid idiot, and as far as I'm concerned, I'd be happy if she belonged to the first type, but unfortunately reality tells me that the second type is probably bigger. ”

Remembering Yuren's disgruntled and complaining words, Offariel couldn't help but smile, and then she shook her head and moved her gaze to the teacup in front of her. Opposite her, Princess Fili was talking about the interesting stories that were circulating with an innocent smile. Unlike Yuren and O'Farir, Her Royal Highness has no interest in politics, the country, or war. Her favorite is the wide variety of popular fashions, as well as "aristocratic topics" such as tea and jewelry from various regions. Although Offariel knows a lot about this, she has been dead for thirty years, and after being reborn, she has devoted herself to rebuilding the territory of the Twilight Forest, which has led to the poor former princess having completely become a "laggard" behind the fashion, so for now she can only bite the bullet and listen to Princess Fili excitedly talk about the so-called "deep-necked clothing" that has been popular in the last two months, and Offariel has no interest in it!

She even began to secretly wonder if it would be a foolish move to dig a hole for herself by making such an excuse in order to avoid it?

"Miss O'Faryl, Miss O'Faryl?"

"Huh?"

Hearing Firi's call, Offariel hurriedly turned her thoughts back, and she looked at the woman in front of her, smiling as usual.

"What's the matter?"

"Yes, I have one thing......... I would like to ask you ............."

As she said this, a blush appeared on Fili's cheeks, and she grabbed the hem of her skirt uneasily, her eyes wide and looked at Offariel expectantly.

"Excuse me, Mr. Yuren......... Will you come to see me?"

β€œ.................................”

Not again.

Offariel sighed helplessly, and frankly speaking, this was also Yuren's own doing, because in the script that Yuren had made up, it was written like this - after Princess Fili and her party were chased and killed by the royal party, he also rushed to the scene and killed those attackers. But in the end, it fell short, and he was not able to save the prince and the general. It is unknown why Yuren thought of making up the story like this in the first place, but judging from the results, Her Royal Highness obviously regarded Yuren as a prince charming who saved him from danger, although Yuren did not elaborate on the situation at the time (the more ambiguous the lie is always said, the better), but in the eyes of Princess Fili, this is a sign of a man's modesty and not pride.

Now things are in trouble. In terms of appearance, You Lian is not bad, and there is a vague charm that attracts women and is not inferior. And in terms of martial arts, no one can stand out, and then he is so "modest", and quite "polite" with a "noble demeanor", which can attract a woman's heart, which is naturally not a strange thing. Moreover, because the current Fei Li can be regarded as a "broken family", she is alone and naturally hopes to find a good backer, and in her opinion, Yu Lian is such a good candidate.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Fili, Lord Lord, he is currently busy with a lot of affairs in the territory, and there is no way to spare time for the time being, I believe that when he has free time, he will definitely come to see your Royal Highness Princess." ”

Ofaril smiled wryly and comforted softly. At the same time, she was extremely depressed in her own heart, she knew very well how lazy this lord was, either he did things on his own, and then only told himself the results, or sometimes he didn't even tell the results, or he simply made an outline and let herself fill in the details while he walked away. In any case, Yuren is not a competent lord in any way. It's a good thing that Yulian has no interest in a big-chested woman, and doesn't want to waste time with her, and he has to give him a sloppy look here, describing the lord as a sensible and enterprising manβ€”even if you think about Offariel herself, she feels wronged.

"Please tell your lord, I am very much looking forward to meeting him. ”

"I'll tell you, Your Highness. ”

Looking at Fili's face full of anticipation and revealing a bright smile, Ofaryl's heart sank, she looked at the woman in front of her, opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say at all.

Yuren couldn't understand how a princess could be stupid like this, but O'Fariel could understand, or to some extent, it was a choice as a princess.

Also as members of the royal family, princes and princesses have different political missions due to their different identities, and princes are mainly responsible for inheriting the throne and managing and controlling the center of the country. Because their goal is so obvious, after birth, these princes will work on it. But princesses are different, first of all, in terms of surnames, they do not have the qualifications of the first heir, and secondly, it is difficult to master the princesses who marry out, although as part of the political marriage, they can bring a lot of benefits to the country, but whether these princesses will become enemies of their own country in the future is also a matter of concern to many rulers. After all, love is sometimes far more than anything else. It is precisely because of this that the cultivation of princesses is not as single as that of princes, but is divided into several types.

If it is a talented princess, there are generally two paths, one is to be able to understand the boundaries of her power and talent, like O'Faryl, and try to maintain a balance that can be recognized by those around her, so as to minimize her threat. In this way, the courtiers will appreciate your performance, so to speak, as a way to maintain self-preservation in communication with other people.

The other is to use their talents as much as possible and have all the power to protect themselves, as is the case with the Sith Empire's silver king, Lintilot, who has not yet succeeded to the throne as queen, but in the entire empire, Lintilot's influence is unmatched, and she can even make political and military decisions in place of her father, the king of a country. These are the two paths that a talented princess would choose, the former would be constrained in freedom, but would be able to reach a compromise on conditions that would be mutually acceptable. The latter, while able to achieve extreme freedom, also faces extreme danger as a result.

Of course, this is the life that only those princesses who have courage, talent and wisdom can choose. But those princesses who are not so smart, and even a little stupid, have no way to go this way. In the face of such a princess, the royal family will naturally not let them do whatever they want, otherwise, it will not only lose the face of the royal family, but also threaten the interests of the country. After all, if the princess is not able to become a national help in politics and military, then she must fight for the interests of her country through marriage. Whether it is the loyalty of a courtier or the alliance of other countries, these are quite important. And those stupid, untalented princesses might mess things up if they were married off like this. For example, it is predictable to forcefully force loyal subjects to rebel, or to pit two originally harmonious countries against each other.

Then, in the face of these princesses, the royal family naturally can't just throw them out and bury them like those unqualified piglets in the breeding farm. Then there is only another way to make them able to grow in the interests of the royal family.

And one of them is...... Brainwash.

Princess Fili was clearly one of them, having grown up in the royal palace, perhaps after discovering that she was not talented, she began to do so. But what about the results of her education? She can now stay in the castle quietly, ignoring her situation, and trusting Yuren unconditionally, which is the result of her education. This can make her pain suppressed to a minimum, just imagine, such a princess who has almost no self and no judgment ability at all, naturally will not suffer, grieve, and resist because of which country she marries. And never taught her about political affairs, and saved the threat that the other party would spy on the country's secrets.

Of course, in the eyes of others, this is a very cruel thing. Under such brainwashing and education, those princesses are actually equivalent to puppets that can eat, move, and talk - but they are just dolls, what happiness is there in such a life?

However, in a certain aspect, they are indeed the happiest, especially looking at the princess in front of her, who is drinking black tea and chatting with herself with a soft smile. Of course, in O'Fariel's view, her country had been destroyed, her relatives had died or were about to die, and she was now in a country full of dangers to herself, and if she had changed herself, she would not have been able to sleep well, let alone enjoy life like this.

She's happy, isn't she? What if she is sold to be a prostitute, as Julien says? In the eyes of others, a princess who was once high and high will feel sad or sigh when she is reduced to the lowest prostitute. But for herself, this is another kind of happy life, so how to judge it?

Thinking of this, O'Faryl couldn't help but think of a certain story that Julien had told herself, in which the rich girl abandoned her glory and wealth, fell in love with a poor man, and did not hesitate to follow him to live a poor life, and finally fell ill and died in a foreign land, but herself, even before she died, was convinced that she had achieved the happiness of the whole world - what difference was this from a certain point of view?

Thinking of this, Ofaril turned around uneasily, her eyes looked out of the window, from the window, you could faintly hear the sound of weapons clashing in the square, the girl picked up the teacup and put it to her mouth, but her mind was still on the square. At this moment, Fili looked at her curiously, and then asked her own question.

"Miss O'Fariel, you like Mr. Yuren, don't you?"

Hearing this, O'Faryl coughed violently.

"Ding!!"

That's it.

Celt stared gloomily at the sword in his hand, then sighed and retracted it.

"I really didn't expect that the lord's swordsmanship was so superb. ”

"Where, where is the envoy master, he really deserves to be one of the three major army commanders, and his understanding of swordsmanship is really far beyond ordinary people. ”

At this moment, Yu Lian also reached out and inserted the pitch-black long sword back into the sheath, and said with an elegant smile as always, as for how many of them are serious, then it is difficult to say.

In the competition just now, Celtic can be regarded as going all out, he even used the power of a high-level swordsman in the final stage, but Yulian still behaved leisurely, through the exchange of weapons, Celtic could feel the powerful soul power of the other party, but to Celtic's surprise, he couldn't judge the true nature of Yulian's soul power at all.

"It seems that the future may be the time of your youth. ”

Putting the sword back into its sheath, Celt looked at Yuren and couldn't help but sigh. Thinking of the talented knights of the Sith Empire, Celtic's feeling is becoming more and more profound now.

"We old people may be about to be abandoned by the times - or have been abandoned. ”

"I don't agree with you, Your Excellency. ”

To Celtic's surprise, Yulian responded very seriously, and those black eyes, for some reason, were mixed with a trace of complex emotions.

"I still believe in that sentence, ginger is still old and spicy. ”

"I hope so. ”

Celtic nodded helplessly, he didn't take Yuren's words to heart, therefore, he didn't notice the true meaning hidden in Yuren's words. However, at this time, Celt had some new ideas, he looked around, then hesitated for a moment, and then asked.

"Mr. Yuren, there is something I would like to ask you, I don't know if it is convenient for you to answer. ”

"Please. ”

"That's right. ”

Celt cleared his throat before asking.

"I've heard that there's a royal maiden in your realm who helps you with the affairs here? ”

"That's true. ”

Yulian nodded slightly, then narrowed his eyes.

"What, is there anything wrong with the envoy?"

"It's not that there's anything wrong with it, it's just ..............."

Saying this, Celtic smiled bitterly.

"I'm not afraid to tell you, frankly speaking, I once met a young lady named O'Faryl, who thirty years ago was the princess of our country, and a very intelligent and talented person. ”

"I see. ”

Hearing this, You Lian raised his eyebrows.

"However, I think you will be interested in this young lady of mine, and I am afraid that it is not just because her name is the same as that of the legendary princess. What do you have to do with that princess?"

"This ......... Frankly, my relationship with her is as close as a brother and sister, and she is also ........."

Celtic paused.

β€œ......... It almost became my unmarried female surname. ”
