[Venue: Keeper of the Seals' Office]

"Your Highness, today is the engagement ball, why are you still sullen."

The female officer, Akane, helped Beatrice tie up her long hair, and sighed in her heart:

"She is worthy of being a princess who has made countless princes, nobles, and children of great families fall in love."

Beatrice, who exuded an exotic style, wore a champagne-colored dress and a pure white top.

Delicate and elegant shape, gorgeous but not dominating.

Real beauties will make clothes a stepping stone for their natural beauty.

And now, this much-anticipated beauty is looking sad:

"Akane, the prince of my family seems to be a little confused, what should I do?"

"What do you think I'm doing? Your Highness, I have never been in love. ”

Qian said nonchalantly: "Besides, haven't you already arranged it with Gandalf?" ”

Beatrice tilted her head and looked at her:

"I'm just a little worried, and who do you think caused the trouble......

Beatrice looked distressed and remembered a few weeks ago.

……

Rewind the clock to a few weeks ago.

At that time, Louis had just returned from the keel meadow, the little swan had just been locked up by her, and the Marquis of York was a farmer who had colluded with the Blackwater Chamber of Commerce.

Beatrice traveled to the Republic of Tunisia for Louis.

Buying slaves to use as test consumables is actually a gray industry.

Even slaves are means of production, and they don't have such waste.

It's just that at that time, the experiment had already been carried out in the middle of the process, and the result was always obtained.

In the end, nothing came of it, and the Empire called off the project as a matter of course.

It's just that Beatrice, the mage of the faction that participated in the experiment, still has a little reverie about Louis.

After harassing for a long time, she simply made a talent exchange with the Tunisian side.

Gandalf, Lord of the White Tower, presided over the matter.

It is said that he carried a large sword on his back and went to consult with the mages of that faction.

Half an hour later, a consensus was reached between the two sides.

Gandalf Qing was still shouting something strange about "really having a sword".

The hidden danger of the White Tower, which Louis was most worried about when he was first reborn, was nipped in the bud by Beatrice.

She had just returned to Tino City, and she was sitting in a carriage on her way to the office.

I lifted the window and watched the morning light shine through the streets of Tino City.

"I'm going to leave for the Marquis of Redias in a moment, Your Highness, let's get some sleep first."

Beatrice looked up a little lazily and saw Akane standing beside her with Kumon in her arms.

"Can't sleep."

The trek made her face a little tired.

The carriage galloping in the distance, running into the night with the night wind, finally opened her mouth after a long time:

"Sister Qian."

"Hmm."

Akane's voice was soft, and she didn't seem surprised by Beatrice's opening at this time.

Beatrice suddenly had a feeling that perhaps the person who had been with her for a long time should have known exactly what she was going to say by this time.

"I have one thing I want to do."

"Is it the kind you have to do?"

Beatrice leaned against the saddle cushion and gently wrapped her fingers around the ends of her hair:

"I used to think that it was a matter of time before I wanted to share my life with my partner."

"But sooner, or later, it's fine."

"That's why I first found Louie, firstly because he had [Grave Sin and Greed], and secondly, because it was for myself."

"Anyway, before the official announcement, if you can stop those wild bees and butterflies for four or five years, and then part ways with him on the grounds that it is not suitable, the royalists and the new faction will not have any opinions."

Akane followed her words and said, "And now? ”

"I don't know." Beatrice said honestly, "If people can really see what they want in their hearts, then there will be no confusion." ”

Akane snorted: "That is, at least I don't hate it, right?" ”

Beatrice narrowed her eyes and said, "No. ”

"Huh?"

"I should say I like it very much, but I don't know if it's the kind of love that lovers like."

"After all, you know, I used to want to make the empire stronger and stronger."

Beatrice smiled, she turned her head sideways, looked at Akane looking up at the window, and sighed with emotion:

"But as I met him at the gates, I suddenly realized that there was no end to the prosperity of the empire."

Akane said, "You can't let outsiders hear this. ”

"It's really rare, in the past, you would have advised me to pay attention to the cultivation of the princess."

Akane's gaze fell on Beatrice, unexpectedly calm.

As the two men were talking, the carriage stopped.

Someone outside said, "Your Highness, it's here." ”

The two women got out of the car and walked back to the Keeper of the Seals' office.

After entering the house, Akane suddenly said:

"Your Highness, to be honest, I'm actually quite selfish."

"As your iron guard, I only hope you can live well."

"Although I always say that you, as a princess, can't do this, can't do that, I sincerely hope that you can live a happy life."

Akane stepped forward and smoothed Beatrice's somewhat messy clothes, angry and funny.

"Ten years ago, you said that you wanted to be a princess who would not disappoint the emperor, and I wrote it down."

"Even if one day you have forgotten this young dream, I will remember it for you and remind you all the time."

"Do you see what I mean?"

"It's the duty of the Iron Guard."

- The implication is that she will always be on Beatrice's side.

Beatrice looked back at her guard steadily, not knowing how to describe her current mood, but she always felt a heat rising down her chest.

The emotions that kept climbing were too intense, as if something would flow out of her eyes when she blinked hard.

If Olivia was entrusted to Lumie by the queen mother.

Then she was entrusted to Akane by the queen mother.

"Sister Qian, I want to start the next stage of Beatrice's journey."

"I want to have a life that a girl of my age should have, but I don't want to forget my dreams."

"I need your help."

Akane looked at the time: "It's time to visit the Marquis of Redias." ”

Beatrice honestly said, "I don't want to go today. ”

Akane stepped forward, got down on one knee, smoothed the corners of Beatrice's skirt that had been messy from the bumps, and said:

"When I got off the bus, I arranged for someone to inform the Marquis of the postponement of the visit."

Beatrice tilted her head: "Huh? ”

The stunned expression is exactly the same as that of a certain little swan.

"I also handed the maid a small note and told her to tell His Highness Louis that you wanted to see him."

Beatrice was dumbfounded, and her face turned red.

Feelings, she has no intention of pulling her out of the house.

In her stunned gaze, Akane made a knightly kiss on the hand.

"Your Highness, if you really want to strengthen your resolve and tell Lord Louis your heart, then take this step bravely and get engaged."

"This is the last lesson that the ceremonial officer will teach you, at a critical moment, show the courage that the future empress should have."

As she said this, Louie walked in:

"Beatrice, you call me...... Hey? ”

A man and two women stared at each other with big eyes.

Louie blinked: "Am I coming at the wrong time?" ”

The half-foot step back and was ready to close the door.

"Wait, wait."

Beatrice, whose brain went blank, shouted:

"Louie, I wanted to talk to you about the engagement."

… The dividing line of memory...

"Ahhhh

Beatrice felt like her hair was split.

"Akane, he doesn't think I'm a girl I like, right?"

"You don't think I'm in a hurry to get engaged just to gag him, right?"

"Why did I seduce him to dance with me and feel so calm about him?"

"I'm so frustrated, am I going to end before I even start?"

Akane didn't speak, but the corners of her mouth couldn't stop rising.

Young people's love and love!

Then she heard Beatrice say in a snarled voice:

"Akane, what are you laughing at, you haven't talked about it either."

Akane's expression froze suddenly.

The fist is hard!
