Two days later, the envoy from Cisse walked out of the royal city and gradually disappeared into the Plain of Miracles. Finance Minister Woodleg Frey counted the two boxes of gold and silver and put them into the warehouse. The blessed knight Anthony returned to the Holy Cross Guild, and the one named Medea
The elegant girl is sitting in Queen Isabella's room.
Being both from Xisai, their feelings for each other are naturally close. After only three days, the two became as close as sisters and talked about everything.
King Fernando of Ogu has no objection to this. In his eyes, it is just a little fly beside him. He can keep it if he wants, and he can swat it to death if he wants.
As for the eldest prince Diego, he is prohibited from contacting him. This state will last at least until the wedding. Etiquette is etiquette and no one can violate it.
The second prince, Benjamin, went out hunting for an excuse and wandered around the Miracle Plains all day long. Fortunately, Rikka was kept by Boom, otherwise there would have been another big trouble.
In the eyes of everyone, the eldest prince's prestige has reached an unprecedented level. As the wedding day approaches, his status becomes increasingly solid.
Therefore, countless nobles in the ancient city have taken sides in the past few days, fearing that they would offend the little lion if they were even half a minute slower.
As for Boom and Rikka, they are currently nesting in the Wonder House. Either today you are burning charcoal to cook, or tomorrow the other party is telling stories, as if they are hiding in the city.
"Medea, you are going to marry my eldest son in a few days, how do you feel?" Queen Isabella sat by the side of the village and handed the cake to the other party.
"It feels great! My dream since I was a child is to become a princess. Although this wish did not come true, I became the heir of King Ogu." Medea took the cake and replied with a smile.
However, Isabella was very dissatisfied with this answer. In her mind, marrying an unknown man was a matter full of risks.
Just like when I was married to Aogu City by my brother, I was always worried all the way. And many years later, my guess was confirmed that it was a failed marriage.
"Didn't you have someone you liked before? Or some kind of suitor?" Queen Isabella looked at the other person, as if she was looking at herself who was more than twenty years younger.
"No! Those people are just wishful clowns. My destiny has already been blessed by the gods. I am destined to be extraordinary and a blockbuster." Medea looked at the sun outside the window with a very determined expression.
However, Queen Isabella shook her head gently. As someone who has been there, she is very aware of the darkness in the royal family. Not to mention her husband, King Ogu, even the eldest son is not as perfect as she imagined.<
/p>
Not to mention the trouble between Aogu City and the Principality of Xisai. This is a huge whirlpool that no one else can avoid. Even the most experienced helmsman will be in danger of sailing.
As for those who voluntarily jumped in, they were either big nobles who were concerned about the fate of their families, or they were extremely insidious strategists.
But the girl in front of me neither wants to be a powerful professional nor a thoughtful person. It is estimated that her future life will be gloomy.
Queen Isabella was thinking this, but her expression was completely unchanged. Even the pastries she put into her mouth did not leave a single crumb.
"My Queen, in a few days, we will truly be a family. If I have any questions in the future, can I come and ask you?" Medea looked at the other party expectantly.
"Of course, we are all Sisai people and we should take care of each other here." Queen Isabella pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes filled with the brilliance of a loving mother.
In the evening, the two shared dinner like sisters, and even talked about their own little secrets. The veal produced in the Principality of Cisse was extremely tender, and the fragrant little potatoes were the perfect side dish.
After the meal, Medea bowed and left. Now she could not live in the inner courtyard of the palace. But Isabella always stood by the balcony, watching her disappear into the night.
A skylark quietly landed on her shoulder, and at this moment, the mask on Queen Isabella's face instantly faded away. The coldness in her eyes surpassed the moonlight.
Turning back to the room, Isabella frowned. The smell of perfume still lingering in the air made her irritated. She didn't like the smell of citrus, and she had never liked it.
Caressing the skylark in her arms, Isabella squinted her eyes and kept thinking about the conversations between the two of them in recent days. Although her identity as queen was not voluntary, she was also sophisticated after years of influence. p>
In her eyes, this little girl named Medea, although innocent in appearance, is full of strength in her words.
It was a feeling of extreme thirst for power, just like the wandering mage in the slums who was unwilling to accept his fate and always wanted to soar into the sky.
However, she knew her two sons well, and compared to the eldest prince Diego, she preferred Benjamin, who had nothing to do all day long.
In this world, mother is always the person who understands her flesh and blood best. No disturbance, no excuse or concealment can escape the eyes of mother.
Therefore, she is more optimistic about the future of her second son. Although he is not as strong as his elder brother, he is better at knowing how to relax and be relaxed. He can talk when he should talk and keep silent when he should shut up.
The eldest prince, Diego, is just the opposite. As the publicly recognized crown prince of King Augu, he has demonstrated his arrogance and domineering to the fullest. He even verbally humiliated the imperial prime minister at an imperial dinner.
But Isabella saw deep disappointment in King Ogu's eyes. It was the pain of having to give up what she loved, and it was a decision that could not be questioned.
The skylark soared into the sky again, but this time its destination was not the Principality of Cisse, but the courtyard of a certain noble. Isabella wanted to get back the "rice", which was her biggest and last resort.
.
The moonlight plated the ancient city in silver. After Medea returned to her residence, she could no longer smile. As for the servants, they turned around and left.
Rubbing her face, Medea leaned against the bed and stared blankly at the wall. Cisse had forgotten her mission, and at this time she just wanted to get married as soon as possible.
The second daughter born in a small aristocratic family has nothing to rely on except a face that confuses all living beings. She wants to be like a queen, and maybe one day in the future, she can also become a queen.
As for the so-called husband, she still can't remember his appearance. In her opinion, the other person is just a bridge to provide identity, no matter what, good or bad.
She no longer wants to worry about the food for dinner, she doesn’t want to work hard for a few gold coins, and she doesn’t want to grow old in a muddle.
Her father originally resisted this marriage, but he couldn't resist her plea. Although Medea was reluctant to leave her home, the outside world was too tempting.
The brocade quilt embroidered with gold threads is light but warm, and the candlelight blended with the fragrance of flowers soothes the mind. Medea caressed her body, like a commander reviewing the army.
Closing her eyes, she ended another round of false flattery. In her dream, she was sitting next to King Ogu's throne, turning to look at her husband. But the other man's face was always shrouded in a mist.
