While Gu Xiao saw his current attributes clearly, the system also presented his identity information.
[My name is Hamlet, and I am the eldest son of a down-and-out marquis. My father died in the battle between the Duchy of York and the Duchy of Harek, and as compensation for our family, His Majesty authorized me to join the Knights of the Wolves, the National Order of the Duchy of York.
After three years of training, I have thoroughly mastered the epic sequence 8 'Wolf Hussars' of the warrior path possessed by the National Knights, and after returning from learning the arts, I was canonized by His Majesty to Princess Shirley as her knightly squire.
But before I could talk to my former childhood sweetheart, I learned her bad news. γ
After reading the introduction, Gu Xiao roughly understood his identity in the worldview of "Snow White".
The future Vicious Queen is still underage and a princess known as 'Shirley'. And he seems to be the son of the down-and-out Marquis 'Hamlet', and he used to have a childhood relationship with Shirley.
It's just that I don't know what happened recently, but I can use words like 'bad news' on Princess Shirley.
Gu Xiao gritted his teeth and said: "So I hate the broken dog, it happened to be disconnected in the position of key intelligence." If you have a knife in your hand one day, you will kill all the dogs in the world. β
But helplessly, Gu Xiao was helpless about the system prompts. For now, I can only gather information on my own to find out what the so-called 'bad news' is.
He unfolded the parchment scroll from the baby leopard, which already showed the information of the first act.
[Act I: The dilemma of fame, fortune and love]
The moment he saw the information, Gu Xiao raised his eyebrows.
"Fame and fortune, love, put these two words together, and I can instantly make up a 100,000-word court drama in my head. What was it that I gave up love for fame and fortune at the beginning, so I wanted to destroy it after witnessing happy love, so what I didn't get won't let Snow White get, Bala Bala. β
The first act wouldn't be so bloody.
Before Gu Xiao could think carefully, a little maid came out from behind him.
The maid took him and ran.
Gu Xiao saw that the plot had not yet unfolded, and he didn't know what to do, so he simply didn't resist, and was half-pulled and half-dragged to the inside of the palace.
On the throne, a middle-aged man with a solemn face was angrily scolding the girl at the bottom of the stairs.
The middle-aged man was gorgeously dressed and wore an elaborate crown, presumably His Majesty the King of the Duchy of York.
Under the steps paved with jade, a girl with skin as white as snow was prostrate on the ground, biting her lower lip with her teeth, but still stubborn even though she was scolded by her father.
The king's voice became more and more high, and he even felt a little angry, but no matter how good he said it, he couldn't make his daughter change her mind.
"You're going to die of this heart, I will never allow such a marriage."
"I had a good discussion with your queen mother at the beginning, and I promised you."
"Our Duchy of York is strong enough, so we don't need to sacrifice your happiness to marry. As long as you choose an object you like, you don't need to think about what is right, even if it is a commoner, it doesn't matter, your mother and I can provide for you, as long as you are happy. β
"But now how do you repay us? What kind of person do you choose? An old man in his fifties! A princess in her twenties and years old (2X8=16 years old) actually wants to marry an old man in her fifties! β
"Your father, I am only forty-eight years old this year, and when I meet that old man, I still have to call him brother! As a result, you actually want to marry him? This will be a huge scandal for the royal family! β
"It's already unbearable to be so old, but that old man didn't even marry you as a wife, but continued the string! His wife died of illness just last year, leaving behind a baby girl who couldn't even speak. β
"That's already his second wife, and when you get married, you'll be the third. The third, my good daughter! Open your eyes and take a closer look! An old man in his fifties, who has already married two wives, how can I believe that such a person can give you happiness? β
Next to the middle-aged man with a solemn face, there was a beautiful woman with a graceful and luxurious face.
The beautiful woman washed her face with tears at this time, worried about her daughter's future life.
It's not that she can't understand that she and the king have protected their daughter too well, making her godly and young and longing.
It was at such a moment that at the daughter's coming-of-age ceremony, the despicable middle-aged man appeared and used his skillful romantic offensive and flowery rhetoric to capture his daughter.
But the more she learned about that kind of person's routine, the more the queen didn't want her daughter to marry him.
Such a man only looks at the beauty of his daughter and the wealth and status she represents behind her. It's not 'love' at all.
But no matter how much the queen washed her face with tears every day, and how the king angrily reprimanded, she just couldn't make Princess Shirley change her mind.
Such court farce continued until noon.
The king angrily brushed his sleeves away, and as he was leaving, he ordered the princess's guards, that is, to take care of himself, not to give the princess any food. Trying to use hunger to make Shirley wake up and see the 'scheme' of the despicable middle-aged man.
The little princess, who had been kneeling on the jade floor tiles for a morning, had turned white and lost her blood, and the next moment she stood up, her legs were weak and fell down again.
But instead of falling on the luxurious but incomparably cold and hard jade ground, she fell into a warm embrace.
She raised her head, and the tears that had stubbornly persisted before were surging out of the embankment at this moment.
Tears slipped down like a string of beads with broken threads, and the pear blossoms that the little princess cried with rain were heartbreaking, threw herself into Gu Xiao's arms, and cried to Gu Xiao.
"Woo woo, Brother Hamlet, why can't the father and the queen mother understand me, obviously I have met my true destiny, a romantic love as described in the court novel, why are they unwilling to sacrifice a little bit of royal fame to fulfill the love of their only child!"
