(384) Icy palace

The capital of the Valstad Empire, Fort Midknight, the inner court of the Golden Lake Palace.

A fierce quarrel was heard in the Imperial Princess's bedchamber.

"Your Majesty, what did I do wrong? Why marry me to an enemy of the Empire? You should know that I already have a heart! ”

Princess Rosemary Midknight cried like a tearful child, her shining golden eyes swollen from crying, and her bright silver curls looked messy, and she was usually very attentive to appearance, and she had never been so sloppy.

The emperor looked a little at a loss, and she tried to hug the princess:

"My poor daughter, no matter how much you resist, accept this harsh reality.

Your good brother Victor has died honorably on the battlefield, and you are not the only one who is sad, but I am not heartbroken! Now your sister is still lying unconscious in a hospital bed, and it's all driving me crazy!

But no matter what, life has to go on, as a member of the royal family, you have to take care of the overall situation, for the good of the scale country, you have to make sacrifices, my precious daughter, agree to this family business, maybe you will really fall in love with Prince Solan. ”

Rosemary Midknight covered her ears and shook her head desperately, shouting loudly:

"I don't listen! Oh...... That's enough!

Interests...... The great cause of the nation...... You love to talk about these high-sounding truths!

Mom, look at me, I'm a real person! A childish girl! I have my own emotions and will, I am not a tool! ”

The Emperor frowned and said, "Rosemary, no matter how unwilling you are, this political marriage is inevitable, and if you refuse, then King Solan will definitely attack our country." ”

"Enough! Mom, I've had enough of your teaching! I've decided! I'm going to be a widow for Victor for the rest of my life! Don't marry for life! ”

"Are you crazy? My daughter, listen to what you're talking about! I really can't figure it out, what's there to be afraid of, it's not to marry you into a bandit's den.

You will become the crown princess of the kingdom of Solan, and one day, your son will become king!

Building bridges of peace between two of the most powerful countries in the world is worth it.

The palace of the Solan royal family will not be worse than our Jinhu Palace, and you will still be clothed and fed when you go, as far as I know, this prince of Solan has coveted your beauty for a long time, and he will definitely love you! ”

Princess Rosemary put on a look of disgust:

"Humph! What Crown Prince Solan? I don't care how powerful he is, I don't know him anyway! Get out of here! I'll never let that guy's dirty hands touch my skin! ”

Rosemary angrily reached out and pushed her mother, almost pushing the emperor to the ground.

She has always been an obedient and sensible lady, and it is the first time that such a rebellious mood has appeared, and her originally pleasant voice has also shouted hoarsely.

The emperor was taken aback, and she realized that she could not force her daughter to comply, and the child was so emotional that she did not know what stupid things she would do, so she could only reassure her:

"I'm sorry, my baby daughter, it's all my mother's fault, I'm too anxious, I should give you some time to relax the pressure, I'll go, mom begs you to eat well, don't go on a hunger strike, it's not good to be hungry."

The emperor kissed his daughter's forehead, sighed, closed the door and left.

On the way back to the office from the princess's bedchamber, the emperor kept his head down, and his mood was extremely lost.

(Na, after all, I still live the way I hate the most, I actually ...... Forcing his own precious daughter to marry the country's hatred)

However, when she thought about it, the current political situation is particularly urgent, the strong overseas enemy may invade again at any time, and the neighboring countries with bad intentions are also eyeing her, if she wants to protect the national territory, she can only unconditionally comply with any request of the enemy, and she can only wait a few more times, and then return to her daughter's dormitory again with a cheeky face, and once again persuade her to commit to the political marriage.

(I hated myself, why didn't I agree to her marriage to Victor earlier, why did I send Victor and Edgar to war...... Why...... If only there was a regret pill in this world. οΌ‰

With this series of chagrin, coupled with weeks of insomnia and depression, the emperor needed to vent his emotions.

She suddenly drew her sword and slashed a tree on the side of the road, then stomped her foot frantically, smashing the dry branches, causing the guards behind her to retreat.

An attendant military attache came up and said softly:

"Your Majesty...... Your state looks bad...... I would venture to suggest that you go back to the dormitory and rest for a while. ”

"Rest? Yes, I'm tired, but I don't have time...... There is absolutely no rest!

I still have to meet with diplomats from neighboring countries, there are too many documents to review, and I have to go to the hospital to see my baby Edgar when I'm done, you all disband, I'll go back to the office alone. Then she put her sword into her sheath and dragged her tired body forward.

Seeing the emperor's lonely and lonely back drifting away, the attendants, military attachΓ©s and guards all felt heartache and helplessness.

The Emperor's mood was like the fate of this stormy empire, full of gloom, and the atmosphere of sadness was permeating the surroundings, and the air in this palace seemed to have become cold.

Crown Prince Constance Midknight came from a distance and asked the attendant military attachΓ©:

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with her? She didn't react when she saw me just now, and her eyes were a little confused. ”

"Hey! Your Majesty, she is also very manic today, and when she saw this tree, she was cut down by Her Majesty as a gas bucket, and the black sword passed by my forehead, which scared me enough. ”

Konstanz looked down at the severed tree: "Yes, I still have something to discuss with the mother." ”

The attendant military attache stepped forward and whispered to the crown prince: "Oh, I advise you, His Royal Highness the crown prince, don't touch the knife at this time!" Unless it's something important, don't bother Your Majesty. ”

Konstanz nodded thoughtfully: "I think so, let's go back." ”

After saying goodbye to the palace guards, the crown prince went to the princess's bed alone.

Arriving at the third floor of the main hall of the dormitory, there was a large group of people standing outside the door of the princess's bedroom, including several royal cooks and housekeepers, all of whom were in a hurry.

Seeing Constance coming, these people seemed to be looking forward to a savior, and they all greeted him at once:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it's easy for you to come, but we're in a hurry! Her Royal Highness Princess Rosemary has refused to open the door! ”

"What's wrong with my sister?"

"Her Royal Highness the Princess, she is too sad and has been refusing to eat, if she is really hungry, when the time comes, His Majesty the Emperor will blame her, and our old brother will not be able to run away, and we will all have to walk around without eating!"

"It's hard work, give me the food, you all go back and rest, I'll go and persuade her personally."

"Oops! That's great! Thank you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, let's go. ”

Konstanz took the delivery cart and knocked on the wooden door.

"Open the door, it's me! Your nerdy brother Konstanz! Everyone else left. ”
