In the side hall, Eileen, who was sitting on the sofa, saw her princess running back crying, and quickly went to meet her and asked, "Princess, what's wrong with you?"
Wiping the tears on her face with her white fingers, Sarah sobbed, "That Leng Ling...that Leng Ling..."
When Irene saw the other party crying so sadly, she thought she had been bullied by the other party, so she quickly asked, "Princess, is it Leng Ling who bullied you?"
Sarah shook her head and cried, her face even stained with tears. She held Eileen's hand tightly and cried very sadly.
"My princess, you can tell me that you keep crying like this, which makes me feel very uncomfortable..."
When Irene said this, Sarah cried harder and simply lay on the sofa and sobbed softly.
Erin, who was very nervous, realized that she had said the wrong thing and immediately fell silent.
She sighed and gently rubbed Sarah's trembling shoulders, waiting for the other party to calm down.
After sobbing for a long time, Sarah finally heard the cry. She raised her head, looked at Irene with red eyes, and said in a thick nasal voice, "Irene, I'm lovelorn."
"?"
Irene was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "I understand," she took out a handkerchief from her shoulder bag and handed it to Sarah, "Princess, please wipe away your tears first."
Taking the handkerchief embroidered with purple lace, Sarah wiped it carefully, her pink little mouth pouted, "Eileen, my sixth sense is indeed correct. Leng Ling has a sweetheart for a long time. I am really a sweetheart."
What a fool, you still want to marry him..."
Seeing that Sarah's mood had calmed down a lot, Irene persuaded her, "Princess, you are still young. There are many good men in the world. There is no need to be so sad for that person, don't you think so?"
"Yes," Sarah nodded without hesitation, and the tip of her small red nose moved slightly, "Eileen, if I tell my father that I don't want to marry him, do you think my father will be angry?"
"Dear princess, to be honest, if I said that His Majesty is not angry, I would be lying to you. It was you who wanted to marry His Highness Leng Ling in the first place, so Your Majesty would propose a marriage with Lansen and give up ten percent for you.
One-tenth of the land as a dowry. Now, if we want to propose repentance, Lanson will definitely think that we are unwilling to cede one-tenth of the land, and may even be deliberately teasing them. Then our rabbis and the entire royal family will
I've lost all my face. Even though His Majesty loves you so much, this matter is too difficult. I'm afraid..."
Sarah looked at Eileen with resentment in her beautiful eyes, "Irene, do you even say that? What should I do? Is it possible that I really want to marry him?"
"Princess, do you still like His Highness Leng Ling?"
"I……"
Sarah opened her mouth and swallowed the second half of the sentence.
Seeing Sarah's expression, Irene knew something in her heart, "Princess, if you still like him, then you can pretend you don't know about this and marry His Highness Leng Ling in all glory."
"But, he said he won't marry me...Does he still want me to shamelessly pester him?"
Eileen sighed, "Princess, I'm very sorry, I can't help you with this matter."
Sarah said angrily, "No, even if it makes our rabbi lose face, I don't want to marry him. I have to tell my father."
"Then what are you going to tell His Majesty? Are you saying that he already has a sweetheart? Or..."
Although Sarah could not accept the fact that Leng Ling already had a sweetheart, she was very kind and simple in nature. In addition, she had just heard the conversation between Leng Ling and Li En outside, and knew that the other party did not intend to deceive her, and she was not willing to marry because of politics.
And marrying herself would be a disappointment to herself. So, she decided to hide the truth for Leng Ling.
When Irene said this, she panicked, "I just said that I don't like him anymore and don't want to get married. Irene, please don't let others know that His Highness Leng Ling has a sweetheart. Otherwise, your father will definitely think
Find a way to break them up."
Erin weakly held her forehead again and said, "My princess, you are so kind and innocent. You are so considerate of others, why don't you think about your own situation?"
"Eileen, I've thought about it. This matter is just wishful thinking on my part. I can't blame others. Besides, His Highness Leng Ling has never said that he wants to marry me. Instead of him rejecting the marriage two days later, it's better for me to cancel it first."
Erin had grown up with Sarah and knew her character very well. When she heard what the other party had said, she could only find a way to hide it from her. Whether she could hide it or not depended on the fate of God.
"Princess," Cole opened the door to the side hall and walked in, "We will set off as soon as the rain stops."
Sarah half-covered her face with a handkerchief and said in a muffled voice, "I know."
Cole saw Sarah turning her back to him and thought she was angry, "Princess, it's raining too much outside. If you feel bored, you can go to the lobby. There is a show going on inside. You can go and take a look."
"I don't want to move around. I'll be fine as long as Irene stays with me. I'll come out when the rain stops."
"Then you should have a good rest," Cole winked at Erin and walked out.
As soon as Cole left, Irene quickly asked, "Princess, let me bring you that cup of coffee? Maybe you will feel better if you reconcile."
"Um."
Sarah nodded absently, lying on the sofa without energy.
Erin carefully exited the side hall and closed the door, "Mr. Cole, are you looking for me?"
Cole got straight to the point, "What's wrong with her, princess?"
Irene looked worried, "Princess, she...she doesn't want to marry His Highness Leng Ling?"
Cole was surprised and said, "Well, why do you suddenly not want to get married?"
"I don't know either," Erin shook her head. "The princess was in a good mood just now. She ran out excitedly when she saw it was raining outside. When she came in, she cried very sadly and said she didn't want to get married."
When Erin said this, Cole was even more confused, "What's going on? Could it be that she heard or saw something? Why didn't you ask her?"
"Mr. Cole, the princess has just stabilized her mood now. I don't want to touch her sad things again. Since she doesn't want to get married, she must have her own reasons. You know her character. The main reason is that she doesn't want to say anything. Even if we force her to ask
It’s useless too.”
"You are right, but our relationship with Lanson is not very good to begin with. The princess likes His Highness Leng Ling and wants to marry him. For her sake, His Majesty put aside his hostility towards Lanson and extended an olive branch to them, even reluctantly giving up.
I left the land of Rabbi and formed an alliance with Lanson. Furthermore, I have conveyed the conditions proposed by His Majesty to the president of Lanson, and the other party agreed to give us a reply within two days. Now, the princess does not want to get married.
, isn’t this asking His Majesty the King to slap himself in the face?”
Erin couldn't tell Cole the truth, so she could only find a random reason, "Because the princess felt that His Highness Leng Ling didn't like her, and her idea was a bit too hasty, so she..."
Cole plausibly said, "There is no love in a political marriage. As the royal family of the Rabbinical Kingdom, the princess must sacrifice her personal feelings for the overall interests of the country. How can she go back on her words like this?"
"Mr. Cole, before the situation becomes more serious, you should report this matter to His Majesty the King as soon as possible. I will go get the coffee first. The princess will become suspicious if I leave for too long."
"Then you go ahead."
"yes."
Eileen bowed slightly and left in a hurry.
Glancing at the ajar door of the side hall, Cole sighed silently and walked towards the hall.
In the hall, the entertainment program was in full swing, and people were watching the performance intently. Some of them swayed to the music, some talked loudly with others, and all of them had excited expressions on their faces.
Walking to the big luxurious sofa in the corner, Cole sat on it, looking frustrated.
Thinking about what Irene said, he felt that the princess's behavior was too abnormal. However, he also knew the princess's character. If he forced her to do something she didn't want to do, there might be some big trouble.
However, this matter is too difficult. I don’t know how angry His Majesty the King will be when he finds out.
"Sir, do you need something to drink?"
The sharp-eyed servant carried the tray and walked up to Cole, but was sent away.
"Mr. Cole, what's wrong with you?" Leng Xiao came over with a wine glass, "I see you are sitting here alone. Could it be that the princess is unhappy?"
Cole cursed softly in his mind, and was hesitating what to say when a voice came over, "Mr. President, someone is looking for you."
"I know," Leng Xiao smiled at Cole, "I'm sorry, Mr. Cole, I have something to do, so I'll excuse you."
"You go ahead."
Cole, who was just glad that Leng Xiao had left, suddenly saw Leng Ling walking over.
The other party asked for a glass of ice water, nodded briefly to Cole, and then sat next to him, looking in the direction of the performance without saying a word.
Seeing that Leng Ling did not speak to him, Cole thought for a while and decided to get some useful information from him, "His Royal Highness Leng Ling, can I talk to you?"
Leng Ling turned her clear eyes to the side and looked at Cole with watery eyes, "Of course, Mr. Cole."
"What do you think of marrying our rabbi?"
"Although I have only met the princess twice, and the total conversation time did not exceed ten minutes. But I can see that Princess Sarah of your country is gentle and dignified, kind and beautiful, and she is well-informed. Such an excellent woman
My child, there must be countless suitors. I am not familiar with the princess and have never met before. Why does she fall in love with me?"
"Our princess has been favored by His Majesty the King since she was a child. She is innocent and simple, and has always longed to find a prince charming who truly loves and protects her. And you, young, promising and handsome, just meet all these conditions. So.
, the princess will choose you, Your Highness Leng Ling, as her future husband."
"If the marriage with your country can be successful, everyone will be happy," said Leng Ling, who held the wine glass tightly with her slender fingers and said in a clear voice, "but I don't know if the princess of your country is really willing to marry me.
