"Now, I'm going to threaten you."

At the first second she heard this, Corina wanted to laugh.

Because in the space of a second, all the things that have impressed her from the time she has the memory to the time she has done so far have flashed through her mind, and none of them are qualified to be her handles.

You threaten me?

What are you threatening me with!

However, in the second second, when she saw the calm smile on the other person's face and the gaze that passed through her to look behind her, Corina seemed to realize something.

She turned her head and looked behind her.

There, the black households, who were originally playing cards with red faces, had fallen to the ground at the moment, unconscious.

This situation is obviously not just for the sake of secrecy, because beside them, there is a mysterious person in a black hooded robe, leisurely playing with the magic fireball that has been sketched in his hand.

"....... you" Corinna looked at Lynn in disbelief, "you're going to kill them and blame me?!" ”

"Wrong." Lynn lightly dismissed the girl's words, then thought for a moment and changed her old-fashioned voice, "Shocked! Dozens of young men died because of littering? 》........ This is based on my personal understanding, and I guessed the title of tomorrow's Laiyin Daily, what do you think? ”

The girl said coldly: "I think you should be one of the 'men' in this." ”

Lynn shrugged, "If this conjecture comes true, then I'll regret not having a few more wishes on my birthday." ”

"Also, I refute your words, not because of your former sentence, but because of the latter."

"—not just to blame you."

It's not just Corinna, who else can be added?

This question is very clear to me.

"You even want to calculate Your Highness?!" Corinna's voice rose a little, "Do you know what you're doing right now!" ”

"Of course I know, and not only the present, but also the future." Lynn spread her hands and said, "After this fire, you and Your Highness will return to their respective rooms safe and sound, and after you wake up to the 'little stories' recorded in the daily newspaper, you will hear some new news from the people." ”

"For example, these black households were originally one of the choices among His Highness's helpers........"

Lynn lengthened the end, but didn't add the next sentence for a long time.

So, then what?

Naturally, Corina didn't ask the other party honestly, and her brain began to work at high speed, thinking about what might happen next.

Then she found out that Lynn's move was very insidious.

He stopped here because he did it, and it might really end there.

But the people's discussion will definitely begin to boil.

Whether it is "whether this news is true or false", or "does the little princess really want to help the black households", or even the conspiracy theory "why did they suffer such a 'fire' before the little princess is about to arrive", etc., these news will definitely cause an uproar throughout Catalina.

As the top class of Catalena recently, anything that can be involved with the little princess will inevitably attract a certain amount of attention, not to mention "the person who was helped when the little princess was helping had an accident" This can almost be called an extremely sensitive topic.

And if this happens, then it will ferment and expand, which is almost predictable.

- In this country, not everyone is loyal to the king and wants the kingdom to have peace and stability.

Recently, for example, several lords outside have already shown signs of making a move.

So, after the fermentation, how will the royal family deal with this farce?

Corina thought about it for a long time, but couldn't come up with a perfect solution.

It is almost impossible to force it down. Once the word spreads in the mouths of the people, and it is in their own self-interest, there is nothing but the sword to shut their greedy and jealous mouths.

Let it swell?

Unless the king does not want the crown on his head and the scepter in his hand.

This is obviously even more unlikely.

Because he asked the little princess to come forward to win the hearts of the people, just to stabilize his rule - the restlessness outside has already given the king a sense of crisis, so he must use this two-sword-like method, at least for a short time, to make Catalena his unshakable base.

Neither of the above conventional methods will work, so is there any other way?

Some.

For example, forcible cutting.

In Charlotte's previous actions, she never took the initiative to preach that everyone should remember such things as the king's gifts, did not say words such as "I helped you, so you should be grateful to the king", did not morally kidnap these people, and only used her heartfelt kindness to really help others.

From beginning to end, she did not mention any member of the royal family, nor did she publicize her identity and background, as if she was not a princess, but just an ordinary person with good intentions.

Put down your posture and walk with the people.

This is also the reason why her personal popularity has skyrocketed.

However, even if she never mentions it, it is impossible for the public to ignore what is behind her.

In the case of association, the public's favorability towards the royal family has naturally increased, but in fact, they still think that it is only the princess who is good, not the rest of the royal family.

If the little princess provokes the resentment of the people because of the thunderstorm, and the royal family forcibly cuts it at this time, it is certain that there will be losses, but if you explain it again, such as "all of the above actions are the means used by the little princess in the battle for royal power", .......

There is no doubt that the people will be invective at the little princess, describing this femme fatale in the most vicious language in the world.

Some people may defend the little princess, but in this world, there are only a few people who have brains and love to think.

There is a rule of survival in human society called "conformity".

Because of the aliens, they will be rejected or even killed.

If all these things really happen, what awaits the little princess at that time must be an endless dark future.

"You really ........ What a ruthless heart. Corina sneered, "If I'm not mistaken, when you were in the Academy, you seemed to have a good relationship with Your Highness, and that's how you treated her?" ”

"Naturally not." Lynn chuckled, "I have a certain friendship with Her Highness, although it is not much, but it is enough for me not to harm her so miserably. ”

After a pause, he suddenly smiled mysteriously: "So....... Why do you think I say that. ”

"Why ......."

This sentence made Corina think for a long time.

Suddenly, she stared at him for a long time, and said slowly: "You say this because you think that Your Highness will not fall into such a situation, and the reason why you think this is because you think that I will definitely agree to you." ”

"That's right!" Lynn squinted and smiled, and said, "What you were thinking about just now should have happened to the little princess, but I also said that among the people I 'threatened', there is also you." ”

When Lynn's last word came to an end, Corina suddenly felt a wind blow down her neck, causing goosebumps to rise all over her body.

"What do you want to do to me?"

Lynn waved his hand and said, "It's not what I want to say to you, it's what your family will arrange for you." ”

"You are capable, at least one of the most capable people in your family, but you are a girl, and Christine is not like Kahlan, who has only one heir. And Christine, who wants to become a traditional nobleman who has been inherited for thousands of years, according to the bloodline, it is impossible to reuse you. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, you're over sixteen years old, and in an ordinary aristocratic family, you're supposed to be married when you reach adulthood at sixteen—do you have a marriage contract?"

Corina didn't want to answer his question, but she finally sighed after a moment of thought, having already guessed what Lynn was going to say.

"It should have been........ Just a few months ago, I came out of my house to the Marquis de Traoré. ”

She looked at Lynn and said calmly: "At that time, I had already heard that they were looking for a 'next home' for me, but I didn't want to change my surname. ”

"On the one hand, it is an arrangement to escape from the family, and on the other hand, it is also to show my own ability."

Speaking of this, she suddenly lowered her head and laughed self-deprecatingly: "As a result, I was actually recognized for being brushed around." ”

Lynn, who had been the dominant topic, had quieted down at the moment, listening to Corinna's narration honestly, and even took the initiative to pass the conversation after she stopped.

"And then?"

"And then?" The girl glanced at Lynn, "Then I met His Highness, and went into action with her, and the family seemed to me to be of some use, so I put my engagement aside for the time being." ”

"After all, there aren't too many people who can have such a close relationship with a member of the royal family."

After listening to this, Lynn nodded clearly, and took back the lead of the topic: "So, if there is a problem with Your Highness, you will lose your value, right?" ”

"It's not just a loss of value, it's a loss of the possibility of being trusted." Corina sighed again, "Young people who are not trained as heirs have no chance of trial and error. ”

"Then next, your future should be to follow the family arrangement and marry into a certain noble family as a mistress......." Lynn thought for a moment and said, "According to my understanding, there are not too many people who are qualified to marry Christine. If your elders are more ambitious, they may throw you to the north, and settle a little bit, probably on a county of some kind......."

"What does this have to do with you!" Corinna interrupted Lynn with something that was very rough for her.

Because the boring and straight life behind this topic is not the self she wants to see.

Lynn didn't feel emotional because the words were interrupted, and still smiled, "Nature has something to do with me." ”

"Since I said that I am going to threaten you, I naturally will not just take you to fantasize about the future."

"After you make a marriage contract, I will use some special means to turn your betrothed person into a 'waste person' who has lost his male function because of his perennial indulgence in beauty, and when you marry, not only will you not be able to experience the peace of respect between husband and wife, but you will also get curses such as 'why can't you have children' - inheritance, but the most important thing in every aristocratic family."

"But this kind of thing will be eased in the near future."

"Because, you're pregnant, and."

He said calmly.

"I did it."

"Bang-"

Lynn lightly used her blood-colored hand to hold the shovel containing the angry blow, and said leisurely: "Because of his face, your husband will not say that he has a problem, but it can be expected that your future life will be even more sad." ”

"Bang-"

"On the day of the birth, the news that your husband is unable to have children will spread all over the streets of Laiyin, and everyone will know that your husband is an incapable cripple, and at the same time they will talk with great interest about gossip such as 'It turns out that the young lady of the Duke's family can also steal people'."

"Bang-"

"At this time, you will encounter unprecedented difficulties - your own family, Christine, announced that you will be stripped of your name from the family tree because of your scandal, and your husband's family will expel you because of your debauchery."

"Of course, you will not live on the street, but you will elope with a down-and-out, former nobleman and flee to a distant land."

"That's when people have a new gossip."

"Oh, it turns out that this young lady of the Duke's family is actually cheating on a rat who has been hiding in the sewers, a notorious bastard in the entire royal capital, and a wicked beast who is even more cold-blooded than an executioner - Mr. Lynn Blazer."

"Bang-"

Lynn gently brushed aside the strongest shovel so far, snatched it from the girl's hand with irresistible force, pinched her chin, stared into her eyes, and said.

At that time, someone might have turned this story into a verse that would be sung by a bard. After some artistic processing, it may even turn into a beautiful romantic anecdote. ”

"Only you know, though."

"The person around you is not your lover, but the one who has taken your father, your mother, your body, and your future criminal."

"Mixed ....... Egg ......"

The girl who was restrained tried her best to squeeze out these words from between her teeth, her eyes were already full of bloodshots, and the bloodlines were linked to each other, and they actually depicted a bit of despair.

She did her best to muster all the remaining magic in her body and outline it into her own martial arts, and then, stabbing it hard, targeting Lynn's chest and abdomen.

But Lynn was unaware of her actions, and only said as if talking to herself.

"So, now you get it."

"Bang-"

The head of the shovel fell to the ground with a piece of wooden handle, and the sound of ping-pong seemed to set the stage for Lynn's upcoming words.

I saw that the young man looked at the girl's beautiful eyes even if she was embarrassed, and said softly in a light and solemn tone like a wedding oath.

"My threat does not mean that you, who may have been magnificent, fall into a boring life like a pool of stagnant water, but to make you look to the future and try your best to search, but from beginning to end, you can't find a trace of light that can tear through the darkness."
