Book 48 The Wedding of the Princess of the Dead Country
The fact that the only princess who died in the country in decades was photographed by the president of Kou Chi Trading Company quickly caused a sensation in the defeated city. People were amazed at the sky-high price of 150,000 Full Moon Coins, which could form half an army, but now only used to buy a slave. The citizens knew how powerful Kou Chi Trading Company was, but they had no idea about his wealth. After this battle, they can be regarded as thoroughly understood. Cheng Dù, who was rich enough to throw a large amount of silver coins into the river, was thought to be by most people anyway.
I don't know when some legends have been circulating. Some people say that the Kou Chi trading company raised a goose that lays golden eggs and didn't care about money, and some people say that the president of the trading company would use the magic of turning stones into gold, so he didn't treat money as money. The most widespread rumor is that the princess of the dead country holds a secret treasure map, which her ancestors buried before the city broke down and left it for their children and grandchildren to restore the country. President Il will pay a lot of money to buy the princess of the dead country, in fact, this treasure map.
On the day that the princess of the dead country was picked up by the Kou Chi Trading Company, the trading company announced to the outside world: President Il Kou Chi and Princess Hana White Night were married. There was no wedding, no congratulations, only the testimony of God and the shock and bewilderment of the people of the world. As soon as this news was announced, the rumors spread even more evilly. Some people even think that the Kou Chi Trading Company wants to help the princess of the dead country to restore the country.
The motherland of the princess of the dead country was originally a large empire in the southwest of the White Night Country, and once looked at the world and wanted to annex the White Moon Country and the Forest Country to complete the unification of the continent. As a result, more than 100 years ago, the sea rose, submerging more than ninety percent of the land of the White Night Country into a vast ocean. At that time, the White Moon Kingdom took advantage of the fire to rob and captured the White Night Kingdom. In this war, there was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and the White Night King surrendered very happily, saving a lot of sword killing. The White Night Kingdom remembered the White Night King's 'merit' of judging right and wrong, and left the White Night City as an independent city-state to allow the White Night Kingdom to continue. As a result, a few generations later, the small city-state was still overthrown by the hungry people's uprising, and the peasants were later exterminated by the White Moon Army, and White Night City became the territory of the White Moon Kingdom.
As the president of the Kochi Trading Company, Il knows best about the events before the fall of the White Night Kingdom. At that time, their trading company was busy withdrawing assets from White Night City, and it was really chaotic for a while. Although he was young at the time, he still remembered his father's hard work. At present, there are still some records of the business in the White Night Country in the storehouse of the trading company, and the economic situation of the White Night Country before its demise has no words to describe it except for the miserable, otherwise it would not have led the peasants to revolt. Therefore, the rumors of the treasure map are especially ridiculous in Il's opinion.
Princess Hana had just been taken home by her new master, and immediately learned that she was going to marry her master as a slave who had lost her freedom, and even the priest who presided over the wedding was invited early in the morning, just waiting for her to put her fingerprint on the marriage deed, and then she could receive God's blessing with her husband, and then enter the round house. She didn't care about her fate in the future, and she didn't have any likes or dislikes for her future master and husband who she had just met in a hurry. If she had any desires, she just wanted to have enough personal time after she got married, to find a sunny pavilion in the company of her own guard maid to read a book quietly, and to read other people's stories. She usually uses guò as a way to escape from reality.
The priest who presided over and witnessed the wedding of the two had never received such a happy officiating gift in his life. The two newlyweds rushed back from outside in a carriage, and they became husband and wife without saying a word to each other, and it took only about ten minutes before and after. This kind of thing he felt that he might not be able to see for the second time in his life, and the opportunity was rare, so the priest remembered in his mind the expressions of the two newlyweds at the moment of their marriage. He will never forget the wedding he presided over. The wealthy merchant Jail Kochi and the deceased princess Hana Baiye, when they swore their love and loyalty to the gods, had only a ceremonial smile in their eyes, and from their pupils, they could not see each other's existence at all.
Il's wedding was very satisfying, quiet and efficient, in line with his usual principles. He was very satisfied with his bride, anyway, he just wanted to find someone to pass on the lineage, as long as the bloodline was okay, the magical bloodline of the White Night family was first-class in the entire continent. As for the things about the bride's appearance and character...... Yir thinks that as long as she is a woman with magical powers, her face is quite beautiful and acceptable. The character of the princess of the dead country is even more in line with his heart, as Il expected, this slave girl is cowardly and weak, and easy to manage.
After the wedding, the first thing President Il did was not to linger with his new wife, but to go to the parlor to meet with Midali, the head of the Falconry, and give Asuka freedom. Asuka has since become one of his family's many maids. Then he arranged to deal with a lot of essays that had been piled up in the past, and dealt with a few peers who came over to say goodbye to him. It was busy until ten o'clock in the evening, when Ilr had time to return to his new house.
His butler Ebel shook his head with a sigh when he saw his master's newlywed life like this. The people of the Kou Chi family have a great interest in business and a strong talent, they are honest, trustworthy, and have a contract spirit, but their emotional intelligence is terrifyingly low. Although they know how to calculate human relationships and know how to deal with others, they don't know how to care for someone from the bottom of their hearts. The former president was like this, so he was killed by the sword of the embarrassed president's wife. Now President Il is like this again. Eber felt that even if the new lady was a slave without inheritance, as long as the master remained this virtue, it would not necessarily guarantee a smooth sailing for his marriage.
Ilr is just low in EQ, not in IQ. He knew his shortcomings and thought about correcting them, but it was obviously a difficult thing to do. For example, those official duties after today's wedding, in Yier's opinion, these tasks have reached the limit of the processing period, and they must be handled quickly and efficiently. For him, work is always the first priority.
As for the woman who was going to stay with him for the rest of his life from this day on, Il felt that he could use some means to make her happy, to make her as happy and carefree as an ordinary newlywed wife.
When he confidently pushed open the door, he saw Hana, the princess of the dead country, and her maid of the guards sitting at the long table, looking intently at a book of stories on their bookshelf. The book was written by a friend of Il's, who financed his adventures, then chronicled the scenery along the way into a travelogue and adapted it into a novel and a collection of stories. The books sold well, but his friend unfortunately died in a jungle somewhere in the forest country, and the relics were returned to him by passing good Samaritans. This book is included.
Il smiled and asked his wife, "What is this book about?" "He never had time to read such a book that had nothing to do with business.
Hana's thoughts have already entered the story, and her mind is up and down with the fate of the characters in the book, and at this moment she is dragged back to the real world, and her expression is inevitably lost. Yier caught this expression, understood that he was disturbing his wife, sighed and said secretly in his heart: I still don't know how to think about others.
Hana has long been used to being interrupted while reading a book. She was not good at hiding her feelings, and the slavers found the constant mournful look in her eyes attractive, and did not ask her to smile as they did the other female slaves. She was very conscious of being a slave, and when she saw that her master and husband asked about the situation in the book, she explained it in a generous and somewhat polite tone, and her words were full of a sense of distance.
This collection of stories is about the White Moon Knight King's time in the southern magic city, gathering like-minded people to crusade against the evil mages of the disaster level. At that time, the evil magician was working against the White Moon Kingdom, and almost succeeded in destroying the White Moon Royal Clan. This collection of stories tells the details of the acquaintance of several kind-hearted great magicians with the Knight King, as well as some interesting stories about it that have been circulated in the community.
For example, the great witch Shirin has a crush on the Knight King but can't be honest, she thought that she would be satisfied by following her beloved, but finally became disheartened after the Knight King joined the White Moon Royal Family. At the end of her adventure, the Great Witch came to the Little Kingdom and turned herself into a stone, putting an end to this youthful and childish feeling.
Shireen and the story of the Knight King Il had heard of it, and it was a little different from the version in the book. In those more widely circulated stories, Shirin is a very heroic woman in terms of feelings and life style, and is the most brilliant heroine in the many erotic histories of the White Moon Knight King. It has been rumored among the people that the reason why the White Moon Knight King was unable to have offspring with the queen was because Shireen Witch had done something to the Knight King's **. Some say that Shireen turned the knight king's thing to stone with her mouth, like the one at the Fountain of the Boy in the square.
The rest of the story in the book is also very different from the well-known ones, and most of the knight king's comrades leave due to emotional entanglements, just like the once famous ranger group Liberty Eagle. The official version is that these people were killed in a decisive battle against the evil magician, and ended up buried in the graveyard of the brave in the Little Kingdom. Il and Hana were surprisingly unanimous in their explanations for the surprises, believing that the guy who wrote the book had deliberately made it up to attract attention. Although there is this suspicion, the two have to admit that this type of knight king story is also quite interesting.
Yi'er and Hana each expressed their own views on the story in the book, and extended the topic far away, successfully achieving the goal of speaking freely. But even the two guards could see that the two were trying to cater to each other, artificially creating a harmonious atmosphere, trying to make each other happy. One of the two maids is called the Red Girl, and the other is called the Green Girl, and their appearance is only somewhat similar to the princess of the dead country. Naturally, the name was changed by a slave trader, because the White Night family's home glow was the red moon and green forest complemented by the white sky. Speaking of which, the White Night Country, the Forest Country, and the Red Moon Royal Clan all have a little kinship.
After chatting for a while, Il was also aware of the distance between his new wife and himself, and he felt lost about it. Ilco doesn't want his children to have the same tragic family as himself.
Seeing that chatting could not shorten the distance between the two, Il, who had always been serious and rigid, suddenly thought of a very unscrupulous statement, which was about the relationship between husband and wife and the bed. Thinking of this, he blushed a little and looked at his bride, this was the first time he had officially looked at this woman, and it was also the first time in his life that he wanted to urgently please a certain woman.
