"Don't worry." Claire stabilized Erin's mood before continuing to ask, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"I'm ......" Erin opened her mouth, not knowing where to start for a while, and suddenly became anxious and almost cried.

"No hurry, no hurry." Claire slowly touched the other party's head and comforted.

It was only after a few minutes that Erin spoke.

"My father is dead......

After hearing the news, Claire was even more shocked than when she had just been proposed to by Irene.

He didn't receive the news at all, and Claire had long ago asked Reagan to cultivate Naffu's intelligence network, and Claire would read the news of the recent events in the kingdom whenever she had time. But he had been idle in Nafu these days, and had not heard the slightest news about it.

And Shane didn't notify himself on his side, which means that the matter of Norris's death is still limited to the high-level circles of the kingdom, otherwise, it would be impossible for Shane not to inform himself after knowing about such a big matter.

Indeed, as Claire had guessed, news of Norris's death had been sealed. Whether it is to calm the people's hearts or to avoid the enemy taking advantage of the opportunity to target them, the news of Norris's death cannot be spread at will. I have to wait until all the dust settles before I can announce this news, such as Charlie and the second princess below, who are actually in a state of ignorance about this matter.

Erin, on the other hand, was the first to get the news except for Merlin's seven people. Because Norris was playing with her at that time, but the next second he suddenly bled to death, and that scene woke her up from nightmares several times.

After Norris died, Erin's later days were in a trance, and she couldn't believe that her father, who loved her so much in the past, and was still in such a good health, would die in front of her like this.

On the third day after Norris's death, the eldest prince and the second prince who were originally on the plane of furious flames also returned to the royal capital, and began to recruit high-ranking nobles in the royal capital, intentionally or unintentionally tempting the throne. Norris was in the prime of life, and died so suddenly that he didn't leave any will at all to appoint someone to succeed him.

Although the eldest prince changed his name to be justified, the second prince is much stronger than the eldest prince in many aspects. In the open and secret battle between the two sides, Erin also recovered from her trance.

Erin, who lost Norris, fell into confusion, and the only thing she could rely on was Claire, although they had not known each other for a long time, but Erin had a lot of trust in Claire.

"Is Norris dead?" Claire was still a little incredulous.

Erin's mood fell again when she thought of this, and nodded slightly, "My father died in front of me at that time......"

"Condolences and change." Claire comforted softly, although his relationship with Norris was not good, but he and Ellie had a good relationship, and it was impossible for him to say anything unpleasant in front of others.

"My eldest brother or second brother will succeed to the throne later...... I'm not a princess anymore. Erin said in despair, "Are you still willing to marry me?" ”

When Erin said this, she was like a little white rabbit without support, and her tone couldn't help but become humble. After Norris died, Erin felt that she had no support, and her life instantly became confused, it can be said that she suddenly grew up overnight, and when she was a princess in the past, she could still be leisurely, because she knew that there was a father who doted on her.

But if she loses the title of princess herself, can she have anything else to attract Claire?

Erin actually didn't have a good relationship with the eldest prince and the second prince, and when she was born, Norris had already sent the two princes out. They only meet on major festivals, but they rarely meet throughout the year, and they are just blood strangers to each other.

So no matter who succeeds to the throne next, it is impossible for Erin to be as friendly as Norris when he was there. After succeeding to the throne, he will also marry Erin as a marriage tool.

So, after losing Norris and suddenly growing up overnight, Erin fell into confusion while losing her father's pain, she didn't know how to make a choice, and she didn't know what choice she could make. She didn't want to be married off like this, but she didn't know what she could do.

When she was most helpless and desperate by herself, all she could think of was Claire.

During that time, she struggled for a long time, she liked Claire, so she didn't want her appearance to be seen by the other party, and felt that she was dragging him down by looking for Claire now, and she hoped that she could bring help to Claire, not a burden. And it was impossible for Claire to stop the decree issued by the new king after succeeding to the throne.

But she was just a teenager, and in the end, she couldn't bear the despair and confusion that kept pouring out of her heart, and she still wrote a letter to Claire.

In the days of waiting for Claire, Erin kept telling herself to be strong when she saw Claire, and after seeing Claire and Claire's gentle actions towards herself, Erin also broke her defense directly, she was just a teenage girl, these things happened to her, and she couldn't bear it.

"Marry me." Erin lowered her head and cried again, "I don't want to be married to anyone else, if I marry you early, they won't be able to force me." I'm not a princess anymore, but I can do anything, and I can learn if I can't......"

"Don't say such things." Claire looked at Erin's appearance and sighed, "My relationship with you has nothing to do with whether you are a princess or not. Even if you're not a princess anymore, it won't affect our relationship. ”

Claire touched the other party's head and said softly: "And girls can't marry so sloppily, I don't want you to want to get married because of these things, consider marriage as a way to solve one thing or escape something, marriage is a very sacred thing." ”

"But you should listen to your inner voice and not marry for the sake of getting married, but find someone you like. After deciding that he had to do it, he would then go to get married. Got it? Claire is not rejecting the other party, but explaining the other party, and what he said is from his heart.

"But I like you!" Erin didn't want to hide her thoughts like she used to.

"I know you have a crush on me, but not now. Wait until this matter is over, and you will tell me after you have seriously considered it. ”

Claire continued: "Don't worry, I'm here, and it's going to be fine." If you don't feel comfortable staying in the royal capital, you can also move to Nafu City. As long as you don't want to, then no one can force you to do what you don't want to do. ”

Hearing Claire's assurance, Erin's heart instantly calmed down, and this was the most reassuring moment for her in these days.

After comforting Erin, Claire said, "Okay, you see you've lost a lot of weight now, and you haven't eaten properly for a long time." ”

"I'll go down there and make something for you to eat, or I'll starve."

"Uh-huh." Erin tapped her head slightly.
