Chapter 182: The Law of the Princess
Chapter 182: The Princess's Law
All right. As long as she is willing to lie on the bed obediently to rest and recuperate, she can be as willful and resentful as she wants. Now it's her time to be coquettish.
Suzanne left the bedroom to get dinner prepared for Her Royal Highness. But when he pushed open the door of the hall, he was surprised to see Evan and Jerrick standing in front of the door.
"Captain Aven, Admiral Jerich, why are you here?" asked Suzanne curiously.
"Let's see if Her Royal Highness the princess has woken up, and I would like to ask for advice about the battle plan. Evan replied.
"That'...... How long have you been here?" said Suzanne with something strange in her eyes. Linya, who heard outside in the bedroom, was so frightened that when she heard that Jerrick and Evan were coming together, she hurriedly got back into Namia's arms.
Even if it's a joke, it's not good for them to hear it...... You're going to be angry, huh......
"It's been a ......," Evan was about to tell the truth, but Jerrick quickly pulled his arm and stepped forward to reply, "We just came." I was about to knock on the door. ”
"Oh, yes, are you sure?" said Suzanne with an unnatural cough. She's not stupid.
"Yes, I did. Jerrick hurriedly pretended to be very serious. Evan seemed to understand something, and honestly shut up.
"Did you hear anything?" asked Suzanne again. In fact, this kind of problem is for their good. If they understand.
"What? What did you hear? We just arrived, didn't you hear anyone say anything?" said Jerich, with a very puzzled expression.
"That's good. Suzanne was visibly pleased with Jerich's answer, "I think it's best that you don't hear anything...... Her Royal Highness may have to wait a while before she gets up, so you should wait outside here for a while. ”
Linya stuck her tongue out at Namia. It's better that they don't hear it, and even if they do, they have to pretend they didn't!
Half an hour later, in the hall.
"What? I've slept all day and night?" said Linya, surprised.
"Yes, Your Highness Princess. Jellick replied. "Before, I was afraid of scaring away these pirates. So we didn't take the initiative and kept defending. By the time the main forces of our fleet arrive this evening, we will be able to act according to the strategic plan you have designed in advance. The fleet would fly in four groups, with three sub-fleets attacking their pirate bases in the north, west, and south, and the main fleet attacking the main pirate fleet outside Port Domingo. Aven's legion will also be divided into four parts, with three detachments supporting the attack on the pirate base, and the main legion will land on Dominport Island to try to wipe out the pirates this time. ”
"Well, that's good. Now that you've discussed it, let's decide. Linya said with satisfaction. "But...... That's not right. How did the fleet come so fast?And even if you flew straight from Cohen on a wyvern, you couldn't have reached Domingo in one day?"
"Your Royal Highness, it is so, not long after you departed from Port Cohen. We then set off. Our fleet is always following your airship on the voyage. Evan replied truthfully.
"What? Well, even if you did the right thing. But you're blatantly disobeying my orders, aren't you?" said Linya. They saved themselves. I caught up with the battlefield again, and I can't blame them myself. But...... Where is the face of his queen like this!
"I'm sorry, Your Highness Princess. But this is a direct order from His Majesty the Emperor Herman, which we must obey unconditionally and cannot disobey. Evan apparently didn't notice the little princess's mood change.
"You ...... But you are the captain of my Praetorian Guard, and you dare to disobey my orders?" Linya crossed her hands on her hips. It's very dissatisfied.
"Your guards are of course subject to your orders, Your Highness the Princess. But the legion I brought with me is an imperial legion, not Sachnean's army, nor your guard or private army. Evan was still stubbornly telling the truth.
Jerrick and Suzanne could only smile bitterly on the side. These two living treasures, alas......
"You're ......" Linya pouted and was very unhappy. This Captain of the Praetorian Guard is so impolite! But what he said made sense. I can't find a reason to refute it! My father also sent them to follow them all the way to protect himself for his own good, and as soon as Evan and Jerek received the news of the pirates, they flew over urgently, and they happened to save themselves from the fire dragon, they were all kind, and they all seemed to be right.
Who's wrong? Am I myself?
I do seem to have done all sorts of wrong things......
Linya was a little depressed. There was still a lot of unhappiness on his face and in his heart.
"By the way, why didn't Captain Bender come to the meeting?" Linya suddenly noticed a new problem.
"Captain Bender is injured, and I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the battlefield for the time being these days. Suzanne said.
"Bender is hurt?" Linya hurriedly stood up and said, "What's the matter, is it serious?" Ouch...... Poor Wing hurt unceremoniously again, and Namia hurriedly hugged her again.
"He rushed to your aid, but was intercepted by a group of pirates, and was shot with two arrows. But fortunately, it didn't hurt much, Her Royal Highness didn't have to worry about it at all, he would be able to recover after ten days and a half of rest. Jellick replied from the side.
"It's all my fault...... It's all my fault. Linya lowered her head and said sadly, "Where is he? ”
Suzanne and Namia have grown accustomed to the little princess's leap-thinking nature, but Evan and Jerrick are still puzzled. Just now, this delicate and willful little princess who refused to admit her mistake didn't look like a half-point review, but in a blink of an eye, she changed again.
Bender's room is on the second floor of the State Guesthouse. When Linya and the others came, someone had already informed Bender, and his entire right arm and upper body were bandaged, and his spirit was very wilted and haggard, but it was really not life-threatening.
Seeing Linya come in, Bender tried to get up and salute, but Linya hurriedly asked Suzanne to press him back.
"Captain Bender, please rest and recuperate. At this time, there is still no need to talk about etiquette!" Linya said with some reproach.
Bender felt a warm current in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness the Princess." ”
"How does the injury feel, does it still hurt?" Linya didn't stop until she walked to the bed. Asked again.
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry at all, Your Highness Princess. Bender's heart was warm, and he tried to squeeze out a smile and said: "I'm a knight, I often have to fight, and it's common to get a little injury, what is this little injury? ”
"I've heard from Evan and Jerrick about your injuries, Captain Bender. Linya said very sadly, "I ...... I know, it's all my fault......"
Bender hurriedly said, "No." Your Royal Highness, don't think so!"
Linya shook her head and said with a gloomy expression: "That's the case. If I hadn't been too impulsive, if I had taken to heart everyone's advice and advice, if I hadn't been too arrogant and underestimated the strength and trickery of the pirates. If it weren't for the fact that I was too anxious to hunt down the dragon, I ended up being ambushed by pirates. There will be no subsequent crisis. Captain Bender won't be injured because of this...... I'm sorry, Captain Bender......" The more Linya spoke, the more sad she became, her eyes filled with tears of remorse, and she almost flowed out.
This is extremely sincere and sincere repentance and self-blame, and everyone is stunned. Bender nervously stammered a little, "Male...... Your Royal Highness Princess, please. Please don't say that. It is our duty to protect you, even if I die for you, I am willing, I have no regrets! It is also to protect the city and its people, to avenge the hearts and soldiers of those who died, and what you do is heroic and just. You're not wrong, Your Highness Princess!"
Perhaps it seemed to others that a guard who was killed and wounded in battle to protect his king was a matter of course. Maybe Linya is the only one in this world who doesn't think so. It had not happened before for a monarch to visit his wounded subordinates, but it seemed to be counted on one hand. But what is even more commendable is that this care is so sincere and not the slightest artificiality. And the most sincere apology, and such an honest admission of mistakes, which no one has ever been able to do.
Therefore, even other people outside of Bender couldn't help but sigh with deep shock.
Maybe outsiders don't know about it, but the people around the little princess can feel that this little princess may often like to be rude and willful or even lose her temper or something, but she has always been very amiable to the people around her, and she has never had that kind of lofty posture and tone, and she has never despised anyone because of the difference in status.
Although she is a royal family and has a noble status, the people around her do not feel depressed or inferior or afraid because of this, on the contrary, everyone around her can't help but want to be close to her, love her, and protect her. No one looks down on her because of her approachability, but respects and loves her more from the bottom of their hearts. It's really hard to understand.
Bender was right. As a knight of her Praetorian Guard, he willingly died to protect her. But it's not just because of his duty and honor, it's more ...... It's because of some indescribable feeling that makes him have no regrets.
When leaving, in the hallway, Suzanne deliberately pulled behind and stopped Aven. "What's the matter, Captain Susanna?"
"Yes. Captain Aven, in fact, when you were at the entrance of the hall just now, you should have heard what Her Royal Highness said inside, right?" Suzanne said very directly.
"Yes, I heard some. "Evan didn't want to hide anything, to tell the truth.
"I think there may be some misunderstanding. I am afraid that the princess's words were not what she intended, or rather, not what you think. What she says about annoyance means something else - she's just being spoiled, and girls always like duplicity. I think you can understand what I mean, Aven. Truth be told, Suzanne didn't know how to explain it accurately.
Evan nodded, "I totally understand, Captain Suzanne, you don't have to worry about what I'm going to think about. I've been with Her Royal Highness for three years now, and I certainly know her. Maybe she looks like an adult sometimes, but more often than not, she's just a half-grown child. I know what to listen to and what to say as a joke. You're not going to come to me just for this little thing, are you?"
Suzanne smiled and said, "I'm glad to hear you say that, then I'll be relieved." Of course, I still have something to say, but I haven't figured out how to say it yet. You're an honest man, Aven. Everybody knows that. ”
"Thank you for the compliment, I am honored. Please continue. ”
"Of course. Honesty is a virtue - I don't mean anything else, but I must say, Aven, that honesty is not always right sometimes. Suzanne struggled to think of the right words.
"That'...... Do you want me to lie?" Evan frowned.
"No, no, no, I think you misunderstood, I didn't mean that. What I'm trying to say is that even honest words require the art of language. To put it simply, express it in different ways. It's like the conversation you had with the princess today, although it's telling the truth. But it can cause unhappiness for each other. At this point, Jellick is obviously a lot more astute than you, and he knows that there are things to say that are good for everyone. Suzanne said with a lot of brains.
Evan began to think thoughtfully.
"Also, you said that you know Her Royal Highness, but I don't agree with that. Elvin. In fact, I don't think you know anything about the character of Her Royal Highness. You are the captain of the Praetorian Guard of Her Royal Highness the Princess. I feel the need to give you some advice. ”
"Say something that everyone knows. His Majesty the Emperor Hermann should have understood his thoughts. He wants to leave the blood of the gods in the Lantis royal family, so he will never marry Her Royal Highness the princess out of the country. ”
"Why do you say this all of a sudden?" said Aven, somewhat unnaturally.
"Because it's about you, Aven. Therefore, His Majesty Herman's plan is to finally find the best ...... for Her Royal Highness in the country And among the young talents of the empire, it is needless to say that Prince Yax. For the rest of the candidates, you and Jerrick are actually the best. ”
Evan was silent. His Majesty Herman's summons to say that he had no idea in his mind would be a lie.
"But what are you doing? Elvin. You don't know what girls think, look at Jelik, and then look at yourself. But for some reason, I'm optimistic about you, Aven. I decided to help you. You may not be able to make Her Highness happy, but you don't seem to have any reason to make Her Highness angry, right?"
"Well, there's too much nonsense. What I want to say is that, in fact, dealing with Her Royal Highness the Princess is a very, very simple thing. As long as you find a way, keep the guidelines in mind...... The princess's rule, there are only two, it's fine. ”
"Speak. I'd be happy to accept your suggestions. Evan nodded and said. Susanna's words did surprise him, and of course, he was also interested. As for how to deal with girls, it is indeed a headache for him. Girls are always strange creatures. Girls are always hard to mess with.
Suzanne nodded and said with a serious face, "Very good." Remember, Captain Aven. The first rule of the princess: Her Royal Highness is always right. ”
Evan was stunned. However, after about a minute of rapid operation, his brain finally returned to normal. "Okay...... I think I probably understood something. Then go ahead. ”
Suzanne nodded, looked at Aven, who was still thoughtful, and suddenly bent down with a smile.
"Ai ...... Aven, you're really funny. Hahahaha...... "Suzanne was already laughing so hard that she couldn't stand up straight.
Evan looked at her inexplicably and said, "This...... What's going on, is it that funny?" Evan checked his clothes, armor, weapons, and something, and there didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary.
"Alright, alright. Suzanne struggled to stop her smile and straightened up, "Listen, Captain Aven. The second rule of the princess: If Her Royal Highness the princess is wrong......" Suzanne deliberately lengthened her voice.
"That's exactly what I want to ask!" Seeing that Suzanne had sold off, Aivan, who had finally found a chance to speak, hurriedly asked.
Suzanne chuckled again and bent over. I really can't help it.
"Uh, am I saying something wrong again?" Evan suddenly felt that girls were really the most terrifying creatures in the world. Her Royal Highness is like that, and so is Susanna.
"People say you're a piece of wood, Aven. And they were right. You're a piece of wood, Aven. Suzanne laughed breathlessly.
"Well, make fun of me. I'm not going to be angry. It's just that...... When can I continue the conversation I just talked about?" said Evan helplessly. Evan knew that she wasn't really laughing at herself, and that he did want to know the second rule of the princess.
When she finally laughed to the point of running out of strength, Suzanne finally stood up straight.
"Okay. Listen up, Captain Aven. The second rule of the princess: If Her Royal Highness the princess is wrong, see the first one. ”
Evan was stunned again, and didn't react for a long time. Later, he finally understood why Suzanne was laughing at him. The reason she laughed at herself was because she deserved to be ridiculed. (To be continued......)
