Daniel jumped up and rushed out the door. There was no Margaret in the corridor, but the smell of her perfume still lingered in the air.
"I'm going out!"
"hat!"
Levin threw the hat to Daniel and watched him go away. Then he turned back, looked at Fat Orange and asked: "Since you knew Margaret was outside the door, why didn't you remind her?"
"Don't you know the reason why I did this?" Fat Orange glanced at Levin: "Do you think I am inciting a relationship between them?"
"I do think so, but I don't think you are such a...cat."
Lowering his eyelids, Fat Orange said slowly: "You call yourself a master of emotions, but you can't even see through such a simple thing."
"Relying on deception to maintain a relationship is extremely unstable. No matter how perfect a lie is, it will be exposed one day. Rather than waiting for Margaret to find out, it is better to tell it early."
"But she just arrived in London!" Levin scratched his hair a little irritably: "She must be uneasy when she comes from afar to marry a man she has never met! Can't you think about it? Gentlemanly manner.
Where have you been? Margaret just gave you a gift!"
"First of all, I'm not a gentleman, I'm a cat."
The old fat orange god said: "Secondly, it is not a bad thing to let Princess Margaret know that Daniel is taking care of her feelings. On the contrary, the protective shell she created with her shrewdness and wisdom will hurt other people."
"Her shrewdness and intelligence should be used elsewhere instead of going back and forth with Daniel. If she thinks it is good for her to control Daniel, it will not only make her fall into a misunderstanding, but also affect Daniel's future."
"Maybe in your mind I am a cunning, cunning, scheming cat, but in this matter, I have a clear conscience."
Levin opened his mouth, completely unaware of what Fat Orange was thinking: "Sorry, I..."
"Are you feeling guilty?" Fat Orange raised his eyelids: "This is best. You should feel guilty. After all, I am a simple cat."
"..."
.............................
As the night grew darker, a carriage was racing down the street, and the kerosene lamp hanging on the front of the carriage swayed back and forth, like a candle in the wind.
"Margaret!"
When the carriage stopped, Daniel rushed into the mansion as quickly as possible and found Margaret's room. He wanted to open the door and enter, but stopped at the door. He raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Margaret, what are you doing?"
Is it inside?"
There was no sound in the room. Just when Daniel didn't know what to do, Meyers, the butler Margaret brought from the Kingdom of Bavaria, walked quietly behind him. Daniel was about to ask him about Margaret's news.
Suddenly, he found an extra key on the carpet. When he looked up again, Meyers had disappeared at the end of the corridor.
With the attitude of giving it a try, Daniel picked up the key, inserted it into the keyhole, and turned it gently...
Click!
The door opened in response, and Daniel pushed it open gently. Under the dim moonlight, the window screen fluttered in the wind, and Margaret sat beside the bed and sobbed softly.
Hearing the cry, Daniel sighed in his heart, closed the door, walked forward slowly, and came to Margaret's side, hesitating not knowing how to speak.
He has never dealt with such a scene. Growing up, the women around him were all obedient, except for his stern mother and naughty sister.
Daniel has done things to make others cry before, but that was when he was a kid, and he would be fine if he just apologized. Now the person he is making others cry is his fiancée, who is also the princess of Bavaria...
After struggling for a long time, Daniel decided to use his best way of speaking: "I don't know how to make women happy like Levine does, and I don't know how to use sweet words. I don't even think I'm wrong."
Hearing this, Margaret cried even more sadly.
"The teacher once told me that whether it is the government or the family, they are most afraid of people who are good at causing internal strife. With such people, breaking a dish or breaking an egg will put them under tremendous psychological pressure, which will make everyone
We are all very nervous, and we have tried our best just to maintain our lives.”
Daniel gritted his teeth and said: "Margaret, I hope you can understand that no matter what kind of person you are, I will marry you and spend the rest of my life with you. I will tolerate your temper and accommodate your habits, but I also want to
You support my ideal... Soon, we will be husband and wife. You don’t need to use any means. I will try my best to love you. The only thing is that I hope you can be honest with me. We are husband and wife.
The most basic among them.”
The movement of wiping the corners of her eyes stopped, and the crying stopped at some point. Margaret suddenly laughed out loud: "Isn't that a good thing to say?"
"What?"
"It's so annoying! It's so annoying!"
Under Daniel's dull gaze, Margaret rubbed her head irritably, took off her carefully maintained fake curls in a few strokes, rolled over on the bed a few times, and took out her underwear in an unladylike manner.
Throwing the splint of his waistband aside, he greedily took a few breaths of air, opened the drawer suddenly, took out two ancient flintlock guns, threw one of them to Daniel, and said excitedly: "Let's have a duel."
!”
"....ah?"
"Duel! A duel like that of nobles! Shoot at the count of three, two, and one!"
After saying that, Margaret raised her gun, and Daniel quickly shouted: "Wait a minute! Wait a minute!"
"What's wrong, don't you want me to be more honest?"
After taking off her blond curls, Margaret, who had short black hair, looked at Daniel strangely: "Do you regret it?"
"It's not regret, but... who would fight a duel with his fiancée?" Daniel licked his dry lips and said incoherently: "Your hair turns out to be fake..."
"You like blonde hair? Then I'll put it on."
Picking up the curls from the corner of the bed, Margaret put them all over her head, and then asked: "Can we duel now? Since I injured the guard when I was a child, no one has been willing to duel with me..."
"No! No! I'm crazy to fight with you!"
Margaret's face suddenly turned cold: "It's all a lie."
"I just think we should play... the duel game in a safer environment." Daniel said: "For example, please invite a priest and let him open the realm of immortality. That would be good."
"Are you afraid of death?"
Daniel choked on this question and was speechless for a long time.
"Finally we found something we have in common." Margaret put away the flintlock: "I am also afraid of death."
"Afraid of death, you still play duel?"
"Please, the people who are dueling me are palace guards. They don't dare to shoot me." Margaret said calmly: "I just want to test whether my fiancé is a man with balls. Although there are not many, but
Still a little brave."
"you..."
boom!
The bullet flew past his cheek and entered the wall. Daniel's body trembled, and he was stunned when he looked at Margaret holding a flintlock gun.
The smoke had not yet cleared, and Margaret fanned the air with her hands. She disliked the smell of burning gunpowder, but she still came over and reached out to grab Daniel's crotch.
"what are you doing?!"
Daniel was startled again.
"Check to see if you peed your pants. It seems you haven't."
Margaret picked up the flintlock gun thrown to Daniel, put it into his hand, held his hand, raised the gun, and pointed it at herself: "You can also test me."
Daniel could swear that he had never seen such a crazy woman, not crazy, but crazy!
Damn it!
This is too difficult to figure out!
"Don't you want to shoot? It's quite gentlemanly. Let's leave it until later."
Margaret sat beside the bed and found Daniel still standing there stupidly. She frowned and said, "Sit over here!"
"..."
"Do you regret it? It's still too late to regret it now." The corner of Margaret's mouth rose: "Actually, you shouldn't have exposed me. If you didn't expose me, I might have been pretending for the rest of my life. Who told you to tell me to be honest? There is a relationship between husband and wife.
I should be honest, I think so too.”
"I do not regret."
Taking a deep breath, Daniel finally recovered from the series of blows just now: "I'm glad you can reveal your true self to me."
Margaret patted her side, and then Daniel sat over.
As soon as she sat down, Margaret rushed forward, pushed Daniel on the bed, sat astride him, and kissed him: "You know, agreeing to the marriage was actually my intention, not my father's idea. He always
It was against it at first.”
Without waiting for Daniel to answer, Margaret added: "You are confused, right? In fact, I want to be a woman like Katerina, but the Kingdom of Bavaria is too pedantic and they do not allow women to govern. Fortunately, you are very suitable for me.
conditions of."
"condition?"
"With a status that can inherit the throne, and a country in a worrying situation, Her Majesty Katerina made a decision in a critical moment and finally saved the Romanov Kingdom. She is my idol."
"You want to be king?"
"It's okay not to be a king. I just like to govern the country and enjoy power." Margaret said: "If you die one day, I will rule as a queen and control the power. If you live long, I will be my wife."
It’s okay to be behind the scenes, I don’t mind.”
This is a little too candid...
Daniel looked at Margaret who was telling her dream and didn't know what to say.
"You should understand that I am not the king yet, right?"
"Sooner or later it will be." Margaret stroked Daniel's cheek: "I told my most precious secret, and now it's your turn."
secret...
What secrets do you have?
Daniel was lost in thought. Compared with Margaret's ambition, his own ambition seemed to be no secret.
"I want Frederick's Kingdom to annex all the countries in the Central Continent in my lifetime. Is this a secret?"
"The Central Continent I am talking about refers to the land including the Kingdom of Frederick, the Empire of Barbarossa, and the First Empire of Bonaparte. The Kingdom of Windsor and the Kingdom of Romanov are not included in this list, and the teacher will not allow me to report to them.
The Kingdom of Windsor and the Romanov Kingdom launch a war."
Daniel hesitated: "I don't think this is a secret, at best it's an ideal."
"Any more?"
"temporarily unavailable."
Margaret seemed very satisfied with Daniel and did not think it was a fantasy at all: "Maybe you can see that I am different from ordinary women. I prefer politics and power to parties and men."
"The Kingdom of Bavaria cannot realize my hobbies, so I found you. Fortunately, your ideals do not conflict with my hobbies. If you are a conservative king, maybe I will cancel this marriage, but before I come
I have investigated what you have done in recent years, and I can roughly guess what kind of person you are."
Margaret said: "If you can accept me, I will spare no effort to support you. Even after your death, I will regard your ideal as a goal and continue to work hard. My father said that my biggest problem is that I have no goals.
I’m just pursuing power, and you can create conditions and direction for me...is that okay?”
Under Margaret's slightly worried gaze, Daniel nodded.
"Great!"
Margaret hugged him and said happily: "This is our secret, you can't tell others."
"Well..."
Noticing what Daniel seemed to want to say, Margaret raised an eyebrow: "Huh? Is there a problem?"
"Have you ever heard of the Cat Corps?"
"I know about the intelligence agency established by Archpope Mavi."
"Do you understand how they work?"
"do not know much."
Margaret shook her head: "How do they collect intelligence?"
"Infiltration, tracking, and... eavesdropping."
Daniel pointed to the top of his head, feeling very embarrassed, "The conversation we just had should have been spread."
"?"
".....I did not lie to you."
"Great Pope Mawei actually wants to spy on his own people?!" Margaret looked in disbelief.
"No, it's because I came in a hurry and didn't say hello in advance, and a place like the mansion must be monitored, so..."
"It's over, the plan was ruined before it even started!" Margaret covered her face and groaned.
Daniel quickly comforted: "Teacher, they will not hinder you, he will even support us!"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, I know the teacher very well!"
The next day, Daniel took Margaret to the church to familiarize themselves with the wedding venue in advance, and met Mavie here.
"good morning teacher."
"Good morning, Daniel, and this... secret princess."
Hearing this title, Margaret's cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. Ma Wei lowered his head and said in her ear: "I will not tell this secret to anyone else, except me, Daniel and you.
Only...one, two, three, four...well, the five cats and Yunia know."
Margaret's face turned redder.
"Oh, by the way, I heard that your idol is Katerina?"
"Um..."
Although she didn't want to admit it, Margaret nodded.
The secret has already been leaked, and hiding it any longer is just unnecessary.
"She will also be there at your wedding. If you can't wait any longer, I can also help you arrange a one-on-one meeting for you to exchange... your experience of being a king."
"Very good!"
Margaret did not expect an unexpected surprise. She had many questions to ask Katerina. It was also an exciting thing to be able to get in close contact with her idol!
"pope..."
At this moment, Kovalev walked in from outside the door and whispered in Mavey's ear:
