Birthday 209

"This prince ...... It should be less than twenty years old......" Ashrufat looked at the core of the team.

"More than that," Aunt Mary's vision was far better than others thought. The main reason, of course, was that the prince had such a large pile of torches around him, which provided ample lighting. "For a person's physical appearance...... Makeup, clothing and grooming are important components. I guess the prince is much older than he looks...... Well, it should be around twenty-five. ”

He ...... Can it succeed?" asked Ashrufat's eyes, staring at the strange young man in the crowd.

"Oh, it depends. Aunt Mary replied. "But if you think of the proposal game as a gamble, it's certainly a game worth trying. Because the cost is too low relative to the harvest. ”

Ashrufat was noncommittal. By this time, the alien procession had passed through the window, and the people, horses, vehicles, and torches had turned into ignitions and disappeared into the distance of the street.

"Ashrufat, say a few goodbyes to them. Aunt Mary said with a smile. "Magical communication isn't a panacea. As for me, an old woman, I won't stay here to disturb everyone. ”

She went back into the living room. Her painting is still there, but the old woman doesn't have much of the heart to continue her painting today. So she began to organize her painting tools. Soon, everything in the living room was sorted aside. It wasn't until she finished the job that she realized that she actually had a little backache.

Well, it's really the years that don't forgive, are you old?

"Auntie. The old woman turned back and saw Ashruphat standing in the dim light, looking hazy and mysterious.

"What's the matter, Ashrufat. "The old woman chuckled and rubbed her back with her hand. "Be as careful as possible during this time. Also, remember that there are four wives at home, don't spend all day drinking outside, looking for women of unknown origin. ”

"Aunt Mary, may I ask a question?"

"Of course, you can, just ask. The old woman said with a grin. "Don't look at me old, but I've seen some things, and I think there's always some experience that a young man like you lacks. ”

"No, it's not these. I would like to ask, what do you paint for those paintings...... I mean, what do you mean without a face?"

"Ah, it's actually quite simple. Aunt Mary sighed and replied. "Because I found one thing, and though I miss him so much in my heart, I don't remember his face anymore. ”

"I don't remember the ...... face" Ashrufat remembered that Aunt Mary had been married several times, but she seemed to have a special affection for her first husband. Because he had the impression that Aunt Mary spoke of her first husband in a very different tone than when she spoke of her husbands.

"Actually, our marriage was a complete accident. I seem to have told you that I am not his main chamber, he has a total of seven wives, and I am the last one. In other words, he already had six wives before I married him. Aunt Mary seemed to be emotional, and she seemed to be reminiscing. "The reason why he married me...... Probably because he had no children before. I guess so. ”

"Uh...... Auntie, you ......"

"You want to ask me why I would marry a man with six wives?" said Aunt Mary. Actually, this was not what Ashrufat wanted to ask, but he could only nod his head now.

"Because it's very simple, this marriage was not chosen by me, it was arranged by my parents. The old woman sighed softly. "Because he was a noble lord, a real bourgeoisie...... In my family, my father only had a title of nobility and no income to match the title. Well, yes, in a sense, I was sold to him by my parents. She smiled. Maybe it's recalling the good memories of her youth, so her smile at this time doesn't look like her usual smile at all, with a hint of girlish youth and sweetness. "At that time, I was told that he was a pervert, and that he was as rough as a bear, and that he had never lived outside of the battlefield. ”

"At that time, I was so scared of the marriage that I wanted to run away. Because I am full of fear for this future husband...... Hehe," Aunt Mary chuckled twice, as if she thought it was funny. "At the end of the day, at a ball...... In my home, a gorgeous dance party was held for the first time. My father didn't have that much money, and he was the only one who could have paid for it...... At that ball, he appeared in front of me and invited me to dance. The old woman's eyes were on Ashrufat, but the focus of her eyes was somewhere, far away. "Smiling and personable......"

As she spoke, she sighed again, pulling her thoughts back from her memories to reality. "Actually, I've only met that person twice. The first one is him...... The second one is you. ”

"Me?" Ashrufat had not expected Aunt Mary to give him such an assessment. If my aunt says this, can I be proud?

"Not the same you you were before the amnesia. Aunt Mary said. "It's you now. ”

"What was I like before I had amnesia?"

"It's rough, reckless, and unlikeable, and it's not as polite as it is now. I can see that you are educated, but education does not change human nature. Aunt Mary laughed again. "Amnesia is okay. Some people say that amnesia is the same as giving a person a new life, and that's what it seems. ”

"My nature ......"

"Rude, full of wildness, and some cruelty and cunning. That's about it. Aunt Mary replied. "Of course, it's the old you. I haven't met that person very often, and I only have this one impression. ”

"Well, auntie, I think I'm going to have to take my leave. ”

"Well, remember the advice I just gave you. Aunt Mary said. "Well, although it may be said that the wedding will be postponed for that year...... But I think that for the sake of the title of countess, several of them will agree. ”

Ashrufat nodded and walked out the door.

......

"Your Majesty, Your Highness Gisborne...... A messenger was sent...... He's waiting for your summons......" said the maid in as careful a tone as possible. "Your Highness...... You are invited to attend ...... Birthday party. This is the third time he's here. ”

"Don't go!"

"But...... The poor man said...... If he can't invite you...... He will be severely punished by his master. The maid tried to change the queen's mind by trying to make the messenger, who had never even come in at the door, look pitiful.

"Let the messenger fuck off...... It's okay to die. The little girl's answer clearly explained her mood at this time. No one knew what Lu Dao was for, it was the Queen's birthday, and she was in a worse mood than ever. She showed obvious agitation at lunch, but at that time it could only be regarded as restless. However, after the end of the lengthy royal meeting, the little queen has completely lost the demeanor of a queen, and looks like she gritted her teeth and hated her.

No one knows who offended the queen at the meeting, but ...... It's definitely not going to end well. Everyone knows that the king may not find an excuse to deal with you for a while, but if he is a person, he is not perfect. It's only a matter of time before an excuse comes up.

Now the temporary palace is becoming more and more crowded with people. Since his return, Skader, the Grand Master of the Imperial Court, has been working hard to restore the entire court to its original state. Now Byron has been utterly defeated, and it is said that he has received very rich booty from the city of Fornoros. So, both financially and practically, the temporary palace was out of place, and everyone thought it was only a matter of time before the palace was reopened, and the reason why it hadn't happened now was mainly because the palace governor Skadera was behind the scenes. Because the palace needs to be repaired, tidyed, and bought new furniture before it can be used, and Skadera wants to take all the oil and water from this matter to himself. Because of his personal property, he suffered a lot of damage in the previous coup.

Almost no one knew about it, but in fact, it was the little queen herself who stood in the way.

"This, Your Majesty...... It's your birthday......"

"Is birthday important?" the little queen's words further proved that she was in an extremely bad mood. "What kind of banquet and dance do you have to have?"

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. The maid wisely chose to shut up. Although the golden ori handed to her was cute, it was impossible to anger the queen because of this number.

It was already dark. The little girl looked out the window, and if she was not mistaken, in four hours, "today", that is, her birthday, would have passed completely.

"I've told him it's your birthday. The little girl remembers very well, that's what Rhodia told her. "If he cares about you, then he will definitely come to see you today. Conversely, if he doesn't care, then he won't come. ”

The little girl hated what Rhodia had told her. At least now she wouldn't be so restless and completely wrong. To tell the truth, she was expecting that person to come. But on the other hand, she was afraid of his arrival. Because the current environment in the city determines that this meeting must be very dangerous. Once it is broken by the maids, guards, and officials, then the situation may get out of control. This, even if Rhodia doesn't say it, the little girl herself can understand it.

"Your Majesty, you should rest. The other maid cautiously proposed, in exchange for an angry look from the Queen.

"You all get out of here," she ordered. The maids are all newcomers, and they are still in the stage of careful study and observation, and have not yet fully understood the hobbies and characteristics of the little queen. Faced with such a stern order, they could only bow and retreat.

Ashrufat won't come, the little girl told herself. This is a rational choice that is good for everyone. But deep down, she was full of expectations for this adventurous thing, and it was this contradiction that made her so irritable.
