Chapter 22: Jealousy
At that time, Egil looked at the Greek princess and said this, not in terms of content, that he brought disaster to the country and the people, betrayed his promise, and slaughtered the city. Rather, he shouldn't have taken Artoria as his wife. At that time, I felt that a great sense of disobedience was overwhelming. It made Egil feel very uncomfortable. That Lilianu's behavior at this moment, how does it look like a woman who was abandoned in a love triangle, and she is making trouble with the man who abandoned her. This made Egil feel a lot of pressure at the same time.
"This, I and this princess...... It seems that it is just the first time we have met, right? Is it really appropriate for her to ask me such a question?!, Egil sighed slightly in his heart, then turned around and looked around, Sure enough, because of the commotion caused by Artoria before, most people were paying attention here, and when they heard Lily [Shining] Anu shouting like this, many people turned their heads and looked over this side. And there is a lot of warmth between the eyebrows and eyes. Presumably he heard Lilianu's words clearly.
"Oooh...... , unexpectedly, just such a short period of time...... His Majesty Egil's strength is even stronger than we thought. Charles, the king of Burgundy, who was close to him at this moment, hugged his dancing partner and took the opportunity to rub oil and water, and at the same time forced a smile and said to Attila, the king of Hungary next to him.
"Sure enough, the times are young. We're all getting old," ,... Attila whispered while rubbing oil.
Indeed, at this moment, Her Royal Highness Princess Lilianu's behavior, coupled with the fact that Empress Artoria ran away angrily before. Plus the young and merry Emperor Egil His Majesty ....... Is there a more stinging and high-profile scandal in the world?, however, I had never heard of any intersection between Princess Lilianu and Egil before...... Could it be that you have just known each other for a while and then soaked in it? It is worthy of the Norman Emperor.
Seeing that Egil didn't answer her question, he looked around. Lìlì Annu also turned his head. Immediately afterwards, I saw that many people stopped talking or dancing, and looked over with a slight smile. Her Royal Highness the Princess is not a fool and naturally understands what this smile means. "Ahh
Although it is said that Her Royal Highness Princess Lilianu has a very good impression of Emperor Egil, whether it is in appearance, talent, etiquette or behavior, Her Majesty the Emperor can get a high score. If anything was holding Egil back, it could only be "he was the woman's husband." Her Royal Highness Princess Lilianu's bad impression of Queen Artoria also slightly affected her perception of Egil, of course, not very much.
However, a good impression is a good impression. But it doesn't mean that Her Royal Highness the princess is obsessed with Emperor Egil. Her Royal Highness just wanted to take advantage of this time to make friends with Emperor Egil. Find out about the character of the emperor of this great northern Roman country, his conduct and other aspects. so that he can better deal with this emperor in the future. Lìlì Anu was not the simple-minded Greek noblewoman. will be proud of having slept with a man of some kind of status, and even show it off.
Her Royal Highness the princess exclaimed "Ahh
But to get it is to get it. Her Royal Highness the princess couldn't explain it one by one, and this kind of thing couldn't be explained clearly. Or the more you explain it, the worse it gets. So Her Royal Highness gritted her teeth and made a very wrong decision to [Shining] to take Egil's hands one by one, and then quickly separated the crowd. Ran out of the banquet hall.
Seeing that after the Norman county, the Norman emperor and the Greek princess ran away hand in hand. The hall was lively for a while. People don't dance anymore for a while. Instead, they began to talk about it. Naturally, the topic is something that has just happened, and it seems to be very, very interesting.
"Hey, do you say, will the Norman Emperor marry the Empress and then marry Her Royal Highness Princess Lìlì Annu?" the Greek nobles of the palace whispered in a slightly excited voice, "After all, they have been married for five years. There was no house to give birth to children. ”...,
"Well, it's not impossible," ,... But now this information is a little less. Based on this information alone, it is impossible to deduce the correct answer. Another Greek nobleman frowned and said to his companion.
"Oh my God, you saw that too, saw that, didn't you?"
And then Her Royal Highness Princess Lilianu questioned the Norman Emperor like that, and then they also walked away, one by one, can't this be proven?"
"Please, a person's feelings are personal feelings. The politics of the country return to the politics of the country. The marriage of the king of a country can not only be left by personal feelings. The queen of a country is not so tolerant of Su and changes. Moreover, according to my research and [Shining] information, in addition to being a queen, that queen is also another barbarian country, the Britannic King. It can be said that by marrying her, the Norman Emperor gained a solid ally and returned tens of thousands of troops to Britain that could be driven by him. It's much more important than personal feelings. ”
"Look at what you said, is our great Roman Empire not as good as a barbarian state?" said the Greek nobles who spoke at first.
Of course, the great Roman Empire was not comparable to a barbarian nation. His companion continued, "But think again. The other party is the queen. And Lilianu is just a princess. It's a different story. That queen could give the entire country as a dowry to the Norman emperor. But can our princess do that?"
"Goable" ,... But Her Royal Highness the Princess can also become a queen in the future. The Greek nobleman argued.
"If that's the case, then it's even less likely that they'll come together. His companion said, "Can you think of a foreigner becoming emperor of the empire?"
“...... , this ......"
Indeed, many Romans like to attribute the turmoil of the late Empire to the onslaught of barbarian mercenaries who joined the Empire, regardless of whether this is true or not. But if, as was the case at the time, the Roman emperor's electoral power was in the hands of a barbarian, the Greeks would have been turned upside down.
"Indeed, what you say is very reasonable... , maybe it's just an affair, the nobleman who spoke at the beginning of the ",..." has been persuaded for a while. This is in line with his companions.
"Not necessarily, though. But his companion said something like this: "If things turn out like that...... , then, not to say ",...".
"What does that look like?" asked the young Greek nobleman.
"No, nothing. I'm afraid I'm worrying about it. The Greek nobleman, who seemed to have a lot of wisdom, shook his head. Divert the conversation elsewhere.
At the same time, Egil and Lilianu, the pair of Shining men and women who are the focus of conversation, don't know how much trouble they have caused because of their actions. At this moment, under the moonlight, the two of them were facing each other in the darker courtyard outside the palace.
It's different from the previous attitude of apologizing. For no reason, he was pulled out of the palace where he was warm and bright, and he drank free wine. Egil wasn't in a very good mood at this moment.
Coupled with a merry figure like Egil, he is naturally more aware of the problems caused by Lìlì Annu's approach. As a result, Egil's attitude has become less friendly at this moment.
"Well, Your Highness Princess, what exactly do you want to do?" Egil asked, "If there is nothing to do, I want to go back." ”
"Before that, please answer the question I asked earlier. Lilianu said nonchalantly.
“...... , what an idiot!" Egil seemed to understand for a moment why this woman had failed to prepare for more than ten years. Accumulated such a rich strength. In the end, however, it was just one failure that put her in an extremely difficult situation. Her father dismantled her system of power with little effort...... , the character flaws of Her Royal Highness the princess are too obvious. Too emotional, too impulsive and doesn't know how to care about gains and losses. Although it is said that a government character, an impassioned leader can be inspiring. But on the other hand, this guy's judgment is not too correct.......
"Okay, okay. "Egil surrendered. The Norman Emperor rubbed his eyes a little helplessly, and then said, "Because, your previous questioning of Artoria was in the interests of the government, and you thought that my queen had harmed the interests of my country. Therefore, I naturally have to refute you from the perspective of gain and loss. But I didn't expect that Your Royal Highness the princess would turn around again. Blame me for marrying the queen because of interests. Why is it all in the possession of all this, Your Highness?"
Hearing Egil say this, Lilianu felt a little embarrassed, but this was the second time she had suffered Egil's loss in terms of tongue.
"That'...... Then Your Majesty will talk about it, from the emotional aspect? From the emotional side [Shining] side, do you really love your queen?"
Lilianu then asked without giving up.
"Of course. Egil nodded, looking into Lilianu's eyes very seriously, "I've been in love with Artoria since the day I met her. In my heart, nothing is more important than Artoria. Even if it is an empire, even if everything I have in the mansion combined, it will not be able to compare to her. ”。 )
