Looking at Princess Isabella's figure, Lance knew that Princess Isabella was now on the verge of wavering. Her previous statement had succeeded in loosening her mind.
Isabella calmed down for a while, regained her proper appearance and posture as a princess, and slowly turned around and said, "Your Excellency Lance, can you tell me about what happened after I left Idris." ”
So Lance told all the things from the time he met Princess Eve.
But Lance wasn't just talking. Rather, it depicts Eve's thrilling journey to Eagle Hills. And Princess Isabella was also very worried with Lance's narration. Several attempts were made to control the tears, but they still couldn't stop.
After listening, Princess Isabella wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, took a long breath and said, "I didn't expect my willfulness to bring my sister such trouble. ”
"Trouble?" Lance laughed noncommittally, "Her Royal Highness just thinks it's trouble?"
Isabella was overwhelmed by Lance's sneer, and although she wanted to maintain her princess majesty, the guilt in her heart prevented her from facing Lance.
Isabella could only cautiously ask, "Lord Lance, I love my sister Eve." Ever since my mother died, she has been my only support. I just want to make amends before I leave. ”
Lance smiled disdainfully, he could see Princess Isabella's innocence: "You are like a child. Your departure is your fault. Your departure is the greatest betrayal to your sister! The cruelest thing in the world to your sister is your Royal Highness the Princess!"
When Isabella heard this, she was shocked by Lance's words and couldn't speak for a long time, she didn't know why Lance said this. But she knew that Lance wasn't joking: "Me?"
Lance sighed bitterly and said, "There is nothing wrong with you pursuing your lifelong happiness. Woodrow can risk the world's condemnation, abandon his thriving career and future, and take you away from marriage. It's also an infatuated man. I think I will live up to your affection, Your Royal Highness. Princess, could you hear the story of you and Woodrow?"
Isabella showed a sweet smile at this time, but there was a strong sense of happiness in her weak tone:
"Yes, three years ago, when my father betrothed me to the son of the Marquis de Gardestel. I was so depressed that I pulled out the banquet. Met Woodrow, who was also depressed. At that time, I was in the tower, and I used the name of my maid Lisa to chat with him. We had a great chat that day. I said I had never taken anything other than a castle, but I wanted to see the beautiful places in the fairy tale collection. “
Lance asked, "So Woodrow sent you lots of paintings of scenic spots?"
Isabella shook her head and said, "No, the next day he gave him an oil painting of the whole city of Idris with a letter that reads, 'From this day forward, my eyes and brushes will take you to this beautiful world that belongs only to you.'" The strange expression on Lisa's face when she received this oil painting at that time is still unforgettable to me, hehe. But I know he painted it overnight. ”
"Looks like Woodrow is still romantic?"
Isabella nodded happily and smiled shyly, "That's right." Later, as a member of the diplomatic corps of the Kingdom of Normanland, he accompanied the team on tours of six countries throughout the old Grand Duchy of Idiris. And every week I get the landscapes he sends me. Looking at the landscapes, I felt as if I was adventuring with Woodrow, wading together, picnicking together, enjoying the sunrise and sunset together. It was the first time in 18 years that I felt happy. ”
"And what about then? When the diplomatic mission is over, they always have to go back, how did you develop?"
Isabella looked at the dragon shield of the old Normanland Empire painted in the center of the tent and recalled: "After the tour of Idiris, he returned to Idris with the team. Because he rescued a group of Idris refugees in the middle of the way, his father planned to honor Woodrow. At the award ceremony, he learned that I was Princess Isabella of Idris. No matter how much I tried to contact him, he ignored me. Until the day they returned to Normanland, I couldn't hold back my emotions anymore. So I slipped out of the castle in desperation, to chase him, to tell him that I loved him, and that I did not want to marry the son of a marquis whom I had never met a few times!"
At this, Princess Isabella's emotions became agitated, her hands clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her flesh. But soon, she calmed down and said, "That night, we made a vow of love. And he swore that he would take me out of the sea of misery and fly away before the three-year marriage contract. For the next three years, he would send me an oil painting every month through Lisa and Jessica. ”
Lance asked, "And how did you plan it?"
Princess Isabella said, "First of all, I will send my cronies to Normanland to contact him and exchange news. So I privately arranged for Lisa and Jessica to go to the buying warehouse so they could go on a business trip and contact Woodrow. Second, Woodrow worked hard for military promotion, and he had to accumulate financial and manpower to accumulate strength. Third, I used Woodrow's financial resources to buy my father's soldiers and cultivate my cronies. And all this is done in order to find a chance to escape after three years. ”
Lance was a little surprised at this time: "In order to escape the marriage, you not only planned for three years, but also did so many things. Woodrow became Normanland's most promising general, and trained a large number of dead soldiers. And you, Princess Isabella, are digging into your father's corner yourself. Along the way, I wondered how you managed to make an entire escort army disappear completely. ”
Isabella smiled inappropriately at this time and said, "That's right, because that entire escort army, even the Hogan academics, has already been bought by me, or become my henchmen. Everyone is the initiator of this plan, and naturally the gods are unaware. ”
Lance continued to ask, "What about the demon letter?" ”
Isabella explained: "It was the opinion of the Hogan scholars. Forging a letter from the demons who have kidnapped me and intended to attack all the countries of Idiris, this will not only divert the attention of your investigators, but also establish a common and powerful enemy of Idiris. In this way, the divided Idris could temporarily become the same enemy. to reduce the negative impact of my escape on the Duchy of Idiris. ”
Lance nodded and said, "Smart, kill two birds with one stone." In this way, Samuel, Duke of Eagle Gang, will also temporarily give up the opportunity to isolate the Duchy of Idris and annex the Marquis of Gardestair caused by your escape from marriage because of the news of the demon invasion. ”
"That's right. Isabella breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "In this way, we will minimize the impact of my escape, and I can leave Woodrow with peace of mind." ”
But Lance's kind face sank instantly, and he said coldly: "Joke, can you really feel at ease?"
