At the same time, on the other side, Princess Sarah was talking to Irene in the room, and her mood was almost restored than before.
"Eileen, I wonder if my father will be furious after receiving Cole's call. I'm so stupid." Sarah sat in front of the dressing mirror, stroking the long hair that fell to her chest, feeling a little worried.
Erin took a comb and combed her long, smooth blond hair with a serious expression, "Princess, don't worry, we still don't know what will happen. However, since you have decided to cancel the marriage, you must be prepared to bear all the consequences.
preparation."
"On the way back just now, I saw Cole's face was always sullen. Although he didn't say it, I knew he must also be very angry. I was too hasty in this matter."
Eileen comforted her, "Princess, please stop blaming yourself. This has already happened. The most important thing now is to find a way to get His Majesty to agree to cancel the marriage."
Sarah stared at herself in the mirror and said worriedly, "Irene, tell me, what should I do if my father forces me to marry him?"
"Then you can only do as you are told," Irene put down the comb and carefully arranged Sarah's hair, "Your Highness, Your Highness Leng Ling is very good and a man worthy of being entrusted to you for the rest of your life."
Sarah's big sapphire blue eyes slowly lowered, "It's a pity that he already has someone else in his heart. So what if I marry him? Two people who got married for political reasons are together, they share the same bed and have different dreams, and they are strangers.
This is not the marriage I want."
"Your Highness, your idea is correct. However, you must know that there are some things that you cannot choose."
Erin picked up the hairpin inlaid with gems and pearls and fixed Sarah's golden hair with the hairpin.
"Eileen, although I am the princess of the Rabi Kingdom, I also know that marriage is my only way out, but I don't want to be a victim of political marriage. His Highness Leng Ling doesn't like me, and it's useless for me to pester him. Regardless of my father, the king
No matter how angry I am, I want him to agree."
"Your Highness, Your Highness Leng Ling must have the same idea as you."
Sarah frowned, "You mean..."
Eileen took out a sapphire necklace and a pair of matching sapphire earrings from the jewelry box and put them on for Sarah. "If you can discuss it with His Highness Leng Ling, we may be able to find a way to get the best of both worlds."
Sarah was very embarrassed, "But the attitude I had towards him at that time... I couldn't possibly go to him again."
"Princess, I'm not telling you, you shouldn't have been so impulsive before, causing such embarrassment between the two of you."
"Okay, I know it's my fault, but there's no way to fix it now."
"Dong dong, Your Highness Princess, dinner is ready."
"knew."
Sarah stood up from the chair, "Erin, let's go."
"Yes, princess."
**********
Leng Ling was leaning at the table, flipping through documents, the melancholy between his brows always present.
The previous conversation with Cole made him vaguely aware that something was wrong. Now that he thought about it carefully, Princess Sarah must have told the other party about canceling the marriage, otherwise Cole would not have said such a thing.
During the war between Lanson and Valencia, he led the army to fight for him. But now, there is no need for him to resist Valencia's invading army. The only value he can use for Leng Xiao is marriage. If the Rabi Kingdom
If Leng Xiao proposes to cancel the marriage, he will definitely be furious because of his miscalculation. Even he himself is not sure what will happen then.
Looking out the window at the darkening sky, the door knocked again, "Your Highness."
"What's up?"
"Dinner is ready. The president asked me to tell you that you must attend."
Today's dinner was carefully prepared to entertain Sarah, Cole and other people from the Rabbinic Kingdom. Leng Ling did not want to attend, but after hearing Leng Xiao's order, he had no choice but to get up and walk to the dressing room nearby.
After putting on clothes suitable for the dinner, Leng Ling was heading to the restaurant.
In the restaurant, the lights are bright and the music is melodious.
A variety of carefully prepared delicacies are placed on the luxurious long table, which makes people's index fingers move.
When Leng Ling walked to the restaurant, the people from the Rabbi country had not yet appeared, but Leng Xiao, Laura and others were already sitting down.
With a slight nod, Leng Ling sat down.
As soon as we sat down, Princess Sarah and her party appeared.
When Leng Xiao saw their appearance, he immediately stood up and greeted them with a smile, "Guys please."
Leng Ling also stood up and greeted the other party, "Good evening."
Cole and others returned the favor, but Sarah's eyes immediately shifted when they came into contact with Leng Ling's eyes.
Feeling the unnaturalness of the other party, Leng Ling always smiled lightly, and the generosity and humility he showed all fell in the eyes of everyone. Everyone felt that Princess Sarah did this because she was shy, but the real reason may be
Only Leng Ling, Sarah and Cole knew.
Leng Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since everyone is here, let's start today's dinner."
One after another exquisite dishes were served on the table, the musicians also played lively music, and everyone had a good time eating.
Mr. Cole was chatting with Laura beside him, while Leng Xiao exchanged greetings with Princess Sarah from time to time, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Leng Ling sat on the edge and ate his dinner in silence. I don't know why, but he ate very little tonight, and he always half-closed his eyelashes, looking very worried.
"Your Highness Leng Ling, I heard that you have been in Kesel on the western border for the past two years. You and your knight Lien Hans led the local army to resist Valencia's attack. Your mecha army was invincible in the battle.
Being undefeated has become the legend of Lanson being undefeated. I am very curious about how you did it."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Leng Ling.
Leng Ling was slightly stunned. He looked at the man who asked him the question, cleared his throat and said, "Actually, I didn't do anything. Although our Lansen country is not strong, our people are loyal to their country and in order to defend their country
They could sacrifice their lives. We can resist the invaders because of our firm belief in being loyal to the country and loving our homeland."
"Your Highness, you said it very well."
The other party suddenly clapped, and the people next to him also clapped.
"By the way, Your Highness, as far as I know you are not married yet, and now the Rabbinic Kingdom is interested in marrying you. Do you have any thoughts on this matter?"
"Crack."
The crisp sound of clinking utensils sounded in the restaurant. Everyone looked at the source of the sound. It turned out that Princess Sarah accidentally touched the plate with the fork in her hand.
Out of the corner of his eye, Leng Ling glanced at Sarah, "It would be a good thing if Lanson and Rabbi can get married. Princess Sarah is reasonable and gentle, and I am also willing to marry her. However, I don't know Princess
What did she think?"
The eyes of the people around him immediately turned from Leng Ling to Sarah. The look in their eyes that looked inquiring or watching a good show made Sarah feel uncomfortable all over.
"So, princess, what made you want to do this?"
Sarah looked at the people around her at a loss, and when she saw Cole winking at her desperately, she stammered, "I, I am very willing to marry His Highness Leng Ling... It's just..."
Leng Xiao asked, "Just what?"
"I don't know if His Highness Leng Ling likes me..."
Sarah said this in a low voice, but the people next to her immediately laughed out loud, making Sarah wish she had a hole in the ground and crawled right into it.
"The princess is so innocent and cute," a lady covered her mouth and laughed so hard, "Your Highness Leng Ling, if you don't like such a beautiful, charming and innocent princess, then even I won't be able to stand her."
Thick and long eyelashes trembled, Leng Ling gave a faint smile, "You are right, Duchess."
Upon seeing this, Leng Xiao immediately said, "If this is the case, then Leng Ling's marriage to the princess has been decided."
"Wait a minute, Mr. President, you said you would give me a few more days to think about this matter," clear eyes looked at Sarah, "Furthermore, Her Royal Highness the Princess also believes that this matter must be taken with caution. Her Royal Highness, you said yes.
What?"
Sarah nodded, "Yes."
Leng Xiao frowned, "This..."
The atmosphere at the table was a bit strange. When Cole saw this, he immediately changed the subject, "Mr. President, this dish is so delicious. I would like to ask, can you give me another one?"
"Of course," Leng Xiao waved to the servant, who immediately brought another one and placed it in front of Cole.
Cole took a bite and praised, "Thank you so much, Mr. President, all the dishes today are in line with my taste."
Although Sarah was not in a good mood, she was still a young girl who had no resistance to delicious food, and she ate very happily. She quickly said, "Mr. President, today's food is great, I like it very much."
Leng Xiao glanced at the table full of people. Almost everyone's plate was completely wiped out, and he said proudly, "It is really our highest honor in Lansen to be appreciated by the distinguished guests."
His eyes glanced at Leng Ling, and when he saw that the other person lowered his head and remained silent, his eyes darkened quietly, "Leng Ling, I remember that you used to like caviar salad the most, why did you eat so little today?"
The light in his dark eyes dimmed. Leng Ling put down his fork and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."
Hearing Leng Ling's answer, Leng Xiao was a little unhappy.
He didn't know what was going on between Sarah and Leng Ling. He and Sarah were pushing each other off when it came to the marriage. Now he reacted so coldly, thinking that the other party was deliberately trying to embarrass him, and he immediately frowned.
"Since that's the case, let's go back and rest."
Leng Ling was waiting for Leng Xiao's words. He touched his mouth with a napkin and stood up and said, "I'm sorry for disturbing everyone's meal. I'll go back first."
Staring at Leng Ling's leaving figure, Leng Xiao tightened his grip on the knife and fork.
Laura saw Leng Xiao's displeasure and quickly smoothed things over, "Princess, Mr. Cole, I'm really sorry. Your Highness Leng Ling has been feeling unwell the past few days. When he came back at noon, he had been processing documents in the room. He was a little overworked."
, please don’t misunderstand me.”
Cole smiled lightly and said, "Elder Laura, by the way, the princess and I had a great time today."
Leng Ling left the restaurant and returned to the room. Finally escaping from the oppressive place, he could breathe a little easier.
Just after sitting for a while, there was a knock on the door.
