Chapter 175: Lance who was calculated
When seeing Reims exit victoriously. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info Princess Eve's hanging heart also relaxed, and she sat down in her seat with a "poof". At this moment, all sorrows, all doubts vanished.
Although it is not known what happened and why Lance was on the jousting list. But Eve knew that Lance, who had no quarrel with the world, must be doing it for her.
Thinking of this, Eve laughed from the bottom of her heart for the first time in days. To outsiders, it looks like Eve is insane. But at this moment, only Eve's maid Lisa, understood that Princess Eve was not crazy, but accidents and surprises came too quickly.
At this time, a gorgeously dressed woman behind Eve slowly stood up and silently withdrew. No one cares what she does.
On the other side of the arena, Veronica saw Lance safe. Anger hit the tips of his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth again. Angry, she also exited the arena and walked towards the Warriors' lounge.
Veronica made it all the way to the door of the lounge, and then tried to go inside, but was stopped by the guards at the door.
Veronica pushed away the guard's blocking hand and angrily scolded, "Get out of the way!
At this time, the guard smiled and said, "The Knight of Reims is really unexpected. Just won the game, and so soon there was a beautiful girl in her arms. Ha ha. But miss, this is a resting place, and I beg your pardon for not letting you in. ”
Veronica had completely ignored her usual gentle image at this time, she angrily pushed the guard's hand away, and then scolded: "Get out of the way for me! Lance is my fiancé, I want to see him!"
"Fiancé? haha. Miss, even if you are a fan of Mr. Reims, you should not lie like this. ”
The guard was like hearing a big joke, holding his stomach and laughing:
"All those who participated in this contest were suitors of Princess Eve, although everyone knew that victory would belong to Prince Linton of the kingdom of Hitivit. However, the contestants must be single nobles who have not entered into a marriage contract with another woman. Don't be funny, your fiancé!
In fact, Lance in the lounge now doesn't know that the martial arts tournament set up at the princess's coming-of-age ceremony is actually a disguised "martial arts competition".
The true Idris tradition is to be qualified to propose marriage to the princess through jousting competitions.
Only single aristocrats who like princesses will come to participate in the martial arts tournament at the birthday celebration of unmarried princesses.
This is the tradition and custom of Ideris, a country founded by force. This is also the reason why Linton, the second prince of the kingdom of Hitivit, must participate in this tournament.
Eve was happy and surprised because she thought that Lance's participation in the tournament was a disguised admission that he liked her.
And Veronica is angry because her fiancé, who only signed a marriage contract with her yesterday, appeared at her best friend's "competition to recruit relatives" conference today, who can bear it.
But Lance, who was still immersed in victory in the lounge, did not know all this. Alvin didn't tell the real meaning of this coming-of-age competition.
Veronica, who was already completely angry, insisted on rushing in: "Get out of the way! Let me in, I want to ask clearly!"
At this time, the guard was also angry, and with a "poof" sound, he drew his one-handed sword and stopped in front of Veronica: "Miss, please respect yourself! Otherwise, you're welcome!"
But the stubborn Veronica did not back down and grabbed the blade of the one-handed sword. Suddenly, the blood on Veronica's hands flowed down the blade of the guard's one-handed sword.
"Are you crazy?" the guard hurriedly shoved Veronica in fright, trying to keep her away.
But Veronica didn't retreat, but took a step closer and wanted to move forward. Blood had stained the hem of Veronica's pale yellow dress.
Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, a strong voice came: "Winnie, let go!"
This voice was none other than Grandpa Andrei, and behind him, he was followed by yesterday's old comrades-in-arms.
Veronica stubbornly refused, "No! I won't let go unless he lets me in to confront Lance!"
Grandpa Andre walked over and grabbed Veronica's bloody hand so hard that he broke her hand off the blade.
"Grandpa, what are you doing, let go of me, I'm going to go in and ask!" Veronica kept trying to break free of Andre's grasp, but Andre didn't let go.
"Let me go! I beg you, grandpa! Let me ask who he likes, okay?......"
Gradually, Veronica's struggle became weaker and weaker, replaced by a few tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes, but Veronica held back and tried to stay strong:
"I must ask clearly! I don't believe that I only said forever yesterday, and I chose not to fall in love today!"
At this time, Grandpa Virgil said: "Maybe Lance was confused for a while, maybe someone held him hostage." ”
But more old comrades-in-arms behind him speculated: "After all, Eve is a princess, could he covet power and fame?"
When he heard these voices, Grandpa Andrei coughed, then crouched down and said to Veronica, "Winnie, it's useless to be anxious now. Let's go back and think about what is wrong. ”
With that, Grandpa Andre and his old comrades-in-arms pulled Veronica out of the lounge door.
Here, another woman hiding not far away showed a smug smile. This woman is none other than Princess Miranda. And beside him was a burly swordsman.
Princess Miranda stroked her thin lips and asked, "Edwin, what do you think about this?"
The swordsman named Edwin just slowly popped out a name: "Ah ...... You...... Wen. ”
"That's right. Princess Miranda seemed to see through everything: "In order to destroy the marriage between our kingdom of Hitivites and the Grand Duchy of Idiris." Alvin really took a hard time. actually planted such a hidden killer feature in the competition to delay Linton and Eve's wedding, smart. ”
Edwin Swordsman slowly spat out, "Lance...... Threat ......"
"Lance? It used to be a threat, but not now. Princess Miranda dragged her chin and smiled, "It's really the goddess of fate, Sinikosa, who favors me." I actually let me know that Lance has a marriage contract. Even if Lance won the duel, there was no way for him to stop Linton from marrying Eve. ”
Edwin asked, "How...... Do it?"
"Edwin, you go and prepare for both. The first is to contact Mr. Morgan and ask him to secretly inject 'weakness medicine' in Lance's drinking water, so that he can eliminate it as soon as possible. Second, help me look up this girl named Veronica and see if I can find anything related to her marriage. If Lance wins, I'm going to use her against her to make sure that the result of Lance's match is invalidated. So Eve would marry Linton anyway. ”
Edwin asked suspiciously, "Only the second one...... Method...... That's it, why...... Want...... More than that......"
"Because I don't want him to die. ”
Princess Miranda said: "If the second method is directly used, this knight of Reims, who has a marriage contract but comes to participate in the competition, will inevitably be killed by the enraged Duke of Aceh." And I, I want to spare his life. I won't use the second trick unless I have to. ”
"Understand ......"
"Then you go, if it really comes to the last step, then the 800-year alliance between the Normanland Kingdom and the Duchy of Idiris, will end today, and this is the best way for us to weaken the Normanland Kingdom. But for me, I'd rather not have this ending. Because this Reims is more interesting to me than many Normanland kingdoms. ”
