Sophia Liya said confidently: "When your young eagle is delivered, Laurie will also know it. When the time comes to ask for it from you, will you give it or not? When you gave me gifts before, didn't you all prepare him?
A share?”
"You're so cruel." Xiao Xiao said with his teeth straightened.
Sean suddenly discovered that he had made a mistake. He confirmed his true intention and came up with the crazy idea of marrying the most noble woman in the Byron Alliance.
But Sophia Liya still treated him with the same old attitude, trying every means to get benefits from him, without any problems.
You must try your best to make the other person have the same thoughts as you.
But the difficulty is not that high.
After all, what lies before the two of them is not just emotional issues.
There is also the issue of identity.
Winning the battle in the Swamp of Despair brought the leader of the Eternal Night Army to a new height.
But if Sean wants to marry Sophia Liya, I'm afraid there's still a long way to go.
A woman like Sophia, who is more rational than emotional, will not completely follow her feelings, but will weigh more things.
He must adjust his current thinking. He just decided that he wanted to marry this woman, but she was not his own woman yet. He could not treat his wife with the same attitude, otherwise he would not feel bad if she was sold by the other party.
Sophia Liya showed a winner's smile. She didn't know that her little move made Sean think so much about Xiao Jiujiu.
Now that things have reached this point, Sean will certainly not wait for Prince Laurie to speak on his own.
Instead, he found an appropriate opportunity and offered it as a gift, which really surprised Prince Laurie.
He has been trying his best to find suitable opportunities, but this kind of proactive request is quite challenging for an inexperienced young man. The dinner party is almost over, and he still can't open his mouth.
Everyone got what they wanted and slept soundly.
A night of silence.
The next day, Sean and Sophia embarked on their return journey under the reluctant eyes of Prince Laurie.
After being tricked by Sophia Liya, even the open-minded Sean felt a little knotty in his heart. He was much more depressed than when he came here.
After being treated coldly by Sean for a day, Sophia Liya seemed a little uncomfortable. She couldn't help but push him in the back and said: "What? Are you still angry? When did you become so stingy? A young eagle will kill you."
Are you so distressed? Anyway, you have the hatching method, so just hatch it again."
"No, I'm not that stingy. I would give up tens of millions of gold coins for His Highness's sake, so why would I care about a young eagle?" Sean shook his head, still looking gloomy.
His expression said, "I just remembered a story."
"Story? A story that makes you look distracted? What story is it? Tell it!" Sophia Liya followed the conversation and asked, regardless of whether what Sean said was true or false.
She didn't want her rare trip to become boring. She missed the feeling when she came.
"Okay, as long as you don't mind it being boring, my story-telling talent is not that great." Sean said without sadness or joy.
"It doesn't matter, it's just idle time anyway." Sophia Liya said with a smile.
…
Once upon a time, there was a country farmer's son who went to the royal capital to visit and accidentally met an extraordinary and beautiful princess.
The princess's smile always stayed in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it.
After he returned home, he became lovesick. He missed tea and food every day, and became increasingly thin. His relatives and friends hurriedly came to visit him, and even invited a doctor to help him see a doctor.
However, the doctor could not find the cause and shook his head to express his inability to do anything.
Relatives and friends thought, maybe he had a heart disease? So they asked him why he was so distracted all day long.
The farmer's son said: "My soul has followed the princess. If I can't marry the princess as my wife, I'm afraid I won't live long."
After hearing this, the relatives and friends were at a loss what to do. The princess was beautiful and noble, how could she fall in love with a farmer's son?
In order to comfort him, they kindly lied to him and said: "We will help you. Don't be sad. We will send people to the royal capital immediately to propose marriage to the king. The king will consider marrying the princess to you."
The farmer's son was very happy, believed it, and hurriedly said: "Go quickly, if you go late, someone else will propose marriage to the king, and the princess wants to marry me."
After that, the farmer's son waited in excitement, and slowly he was able to eat something, and his illness gradually improved.
The farmer's son waits at the entrance of the village every day for people going to the capital to bring good news.
Some days later, relatives and friends came to see him again. He asked anxiously: "Has the princess agreed to marry me? I have been waiting so hard!"
Seeing that they couldn't hide it, the relatives and friends said: "The people we sent brought a message saying that the princess refuses to agree to marry you and asks you to find someone else."
The farmer's son was happy and sad at the same time. He was happy that the princess cared about him, but sad that the princess did not agree to his proposal.
Finally, he said: "The princess must not know who I am. If the princess sees me in person, she will definitely agree to marry me and be my wife."
…
"Haha..." Before Sean finished telling the story, Sophia Liya was already laughing so hard, "Is this guy a fool? A farmer's son actually tried to marry a princess? Haha... This is
This is the best joke I have ever heard in my whole life."
The storyteller, Sean, has a black eye and really wants to tell the other party a story about playing the piano against a cow. The other party's reflex arc is really different from what he expected.
Fortunately, Sophia Liya was not a fool. She could clearly feel the negative message coming from Sean as her laughter became stronger and stronger. She suppressed her smile and said, "Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore."
Isn’t it enough? But before that, let me laugh for five minutes, three minutes will be enough...haha..."
Perhaps because she is a princess herself, she is particularly sensitive to the word princess.
She didn't think deeply about the deeper meaning of this story at all. She was only attracted by the absurdity and illogicality of it, and regarded it as an out-and-out joke.
However, in Sean’s story, the farmer’s son has a different metaphor.
Sophia Liya's laughter naturally became the biggest irony to Sean.
"Okay, serious, serious, let's tell a story, tell a story." Sophia used infinite perseverance to restrain her smile, "Let's put aside the possibility of this story first, let's talk about it first
Is it possible?”
"When a princess travels, she will be accompanied by a special guard. Even ordinary lords and nobles must keep an appropriate distance, let alone a farmer's son. He must kneel on the ground as soon as he sees the princess's motorcade.
A big ceremony will be made, and until the princess’s motorcade leaves, not to mention before the princess gets married, she will wear a veil when she comes in and out.”
"There is also the matter of proposing marriage in front of the king. Those relatives can just lie to him. If they really dare to do this, what awaits them will be the massacre of villages and towns, because this kind of proposal is contempt for the royal family and an insult to the king and the king.
The greatest insult to a princess."
Sophia Liya's eloquent comments made Sean's face darken even more.
Is this his real intention in telling this story?
"I know that an unmarried princess doesn't need to wear a veil when she goes out or in." Sean grasped the loophole in Sophia Liya's words and said.
"Who?" Sophia Liya didn't react for a moment.
"You!" Sean replied.
"Me?" Sophia was stunned, then said with a wry smile, "I am different. I am the regent first, and then the princess. Before Laurie ascends the throne, I cannot get married, or in other words, I
After getting married, you can no longer serve as regent."
"Is there such a thing?" This time it was Sean's turn to be stunned. This was the first time he heard this statement.
"This is an unwritten rule of the Lancelot royal family." Sophilia said calmly, "The Lancelot royal family once had a regent queen a hundred years ago. The royal power almost failed to be handed over smoothly and fell into the hands of someone with a foreign surname. From then on,
Since then, there has been this unwritten rule, and the existence of this Queen Regent has been artificially erased from history, and few people know of her existence."
"A palace struggle? No wonder!" Sean nodded in understanding. It's not surprising that once entanglement with power arises, weird rules will emerge.
After all, people have selfish motives.
Suppose Sophilia is married and has a son of her own.
When the time comes, will she hand over her throne to her younger brother? Or to her biological son?
For most women, this multiple-choice question is not a multiple-choice question, but a single-choice question.
A biological son always comes first in a mother's heart.
It is a common problem for every mother to want the best for her son.
It is probably because of this that the Lancelot royal family has just introduced the unreasonable rule that the princess is not allowed to get married while serving as regent.
Sean also understood why other members of the Lancelot royal family always made fun of Sophia's marriage. They were trying to save the country and drive her out of office.
"Fortunately, Laurie will be an adult soon." Sophia took a long breath and said, "My mission will be completed soon."
Sean didn't say anything, but he didn't think so in his heart. This kind of thing is not something you can let go of if you want.
But for me, this is quite good news. I still have nearly a year and a half to win the other person's heart.
Before that, it is estimated that the other party will not take the initiative to consider personal issues.
After a moment of silence, Sophia Liya asked abruptly: "The story you just told doesn't have any metaphors, does it?"
"Sister, you finally came to your senses!" Sean thought to himself. He could no longer complain about Sophia Liya's reflex arc.
A strong woman who is usually smart and powerful, when it comes to this aspect, she is as stupid as the stupidest pig, even the thick lines of Wendy can't compare.
Sophia Liya murmured to herself: "There must be some metaphor. You never do anything meaningless. What's more, you said you were depressed because you thought of a story. It's obviously a very funny story.
What can be hurtful?"
"Because I feel like the farmer's son." Sean decided not to play charades with Sophia Liya.
Because if you continue to do this, you will only achieve half the result with twice the result. It is better to point it out directly, see the other party's attitude, and then think of a way.
"You mean you fell in love with a princess...cough..." The one who almost choked on her saliva this time was Sophia Liya.
The red color spread over her smooth, jade-like face and spread all the way down to her neck. Even her ears, which were carved out of crystal, turned crimson, exuding a different kind of beauty.
She is just slow in this aspect, but she is not a fool.
At this point, how could it be possible to not know who Sean was talking about?
What's more, there was still the kiss from before. Although it was just a hint, the trembling feeling was always buried deep in my heart.
Or maybe, she always knew what Sean was doing and what he wanted.
She just uses this method of pretending to be stupid or deliberately hurting Sean to push him away from her, just like an ostrich, burying her head in the soil and refusing to face it.
It's just that she underestimated Sean's decisiveness, and when she realized that her reaction was wrong, she immediately adjusted her strategy.
At some point, Sean had turned around, and the two of them were sitting face to face on the back of the black collar.
Although the Black Collar is much larger than an ordinary war horse, it does not mean that its riding position is wider than that of an ordinary war horse.
Because when installing the saddle, it must be done without affecting its flying ability. Although the black collar of ancient times no longer relies solely on the vibration of its wings to provide flight power, it is still indispensable.
When the two people face each other, their postures are quite close, and they are as ambiguous as they want.
Sean didn't shy away from it, staring at Sophia Liya with extremely fiery eyes.
People change, and people in different periods have very different personalities.
Not to mention that the complexity of Sean's life experience is far beyond ordinary people's imagination.
In his previous life, he was completely passive when it came to relationships - if his wife hadn't been proactive, he wouldn't have known how long he would have been single.
In this life, he can no longer wait passively, especially after he has determined what he wants, because Sophia Liya is obviously also passive, and her condition is serious, almost terminal.
If Sean doesn't take the initiative, the two of them will be two parallel lines, and the possibility of intersection is extremely slim.
Sophilia's originally red face became even more rosy now, almost bleeding.
Sean couldn't help but wonder if Sophia Liya had steamed herself directly.
Sophia Liya's reaction was something Sean had never thought of before.
After all, Sophia Liya left a strong impression on people as a strong woman. When people talk about her, the first thing that people think of is not her beauty, but her iron-fisted methods, which people subconsciously ignore.
, she is still a woman.
Unexpectedly, beneath the tough shell, there is such touching female beauty.
It was in sharp contrast to his usual performance, but in Sean's eyes, it was extremely beautiful, and it also further fueled his arrogance.
This kind of thing is inherently ebb and flow. If Sophia Liya still behaves as strong as before, Sean will not dare to make mistakes easily, but now, the initiative seems to be completely in his hands.
"How... how could you have such an idea? How... how dare you have such an idea?" Sophia Liya stuttered in retort, obviously incoherent, and her whole brain was in a state of panic.
It was the first time in her life that she had been confessed to someone in person, and she didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
"You are not married and I am not married, why can't you have such an idea?" Sean struck while the iron was hot, wanting to further break down Sophia Liya's psychological defense.
This is his best chance. Once Sophia is given a chance to react and she retreats into her own shell, she will build a stronger defensive fortress. If she wants to test out her true thoughts, she will
More difficult.
"I just said that before Laurie takes the throne, I have no way to talk about marriage." Sophia racked her brains and came up with a reason that was not a reason. She still took a roundabout route and did not
Look directly at this problem and your heart.
"I didn't say we would talk about marriage now. I can afford to wait for two years." Sean pressed forward step by step.
"Well... you should know that my marriage is not entirely up to me. The union of the two of us will be opposed by everyone." Sophia Liya is indeed a weathered person and is quickly adjusting herself.
Mentality and emotions, build a new mental defense fortress.
She seems to want to focus on what she is good at, and politics is undoubtedly what she is most familiar with.
But how could Sean give her such an opportunity? He quickly said: "I know, I have already thought about these, but these man-made difficulties are nothing more than profit reasons. When we create them, our combination will
When a situation of greater benefit is brought to them, not only will they not object, but they will promote our marriage. But in my eyes, these are secondary. I want a wife who has feelings for me, not just a wife who has feelings for me.
I have now determined my own feelings about the benefit marriage, but what about you, Your Highness? Are you willing to work hard with me for this goal?"
"Ah..." Sophilia opened her mouth wide. Sean's question was so tricky that it once again exceeded her control, forcing her to an angle she didn't want to face, causing her brain to enter a panic state again.
Is she willing to get married to Sean?
She seems to have never considered this issue.
In fact, she seemed to have never thought about her marriage, not even in the middle of the night.
Because of her identity, she is destined not to be like ordinary girls.
Her father and mother were an out-and-out marriage of profit. In order to maintain the close relationship between the Lancelot royal family and the Strachey family, two young people who had never met each other entered into marriage, and then they had a marriage.
of her birth.
Unfortunately, her mother died of illness before she could learn to walk, and her father's newly married queen did not like her, so she was sent to the Broken Blood Castle and given to her grandfather, Archduke Setric, to raise her.
