Refusing Love As A Queen
Chapter 10: Her mind
Heinrich stood in the corridor for a while.
You don't need to think about where the queen's wrath comes from. Heinrich knew where his mistake was. He was used to analyzing the shortcomings of everything with the queen as before, and then proposed a solution. They used to be the closest teachers and students, and they don't need to worry so much in the conversation.
But now, the queen no longer wants to listen.
She can deliver this trust, and she can take it back without hesitation.
"Mr. Heinrich."
A familiar voice sounded, and Heinrich looked up to see Mrs. Kelly standing in front of him, looking at him. She had an alienated tone and made no secret of her hatred, and handed him a letterbox.
"This is from your majesty."
The bronze letterbox was cold, and Heinrich held it tightly, at that moment even he didn't know what he thought in his heart... Adele was once his best student, except for one class. He had hoped that she could be as cunning and vicious as a "Heinrich".
This was originally the simplest course they thought.
It turned out to be the most failed.
Having witnessed countless filth, Adele became more fair and strict.
This characteristic was especially prominent after she became a queen. She is not stingy to repay those who are kind to herself, but she won't let them gain endless power. However, the latter is what the Heinrich family wants-they don't want an impartial monarch, they just want to control the empire in their own hands.
The icy coldness on the bronze letterbox spread all over the body, Heinrich couldn't tell whether the queen's anger was just to remove him from Dalton's surveillance, or... or...
He didn't want to think about it anymore.
"She has always been amazingly good in every class," Heinrich heard his own voice ringing hollowly, and he took out another letter to Mrs. Kelly, "Give this to her."
Before Mrs. Kelly could say anything, Heinrich had quickened his pace and left in a hurry.
………………
"You seem to be particularly opposed to me agreeing to John VIII's marriage proposal."
Adele leaned on the chair wearily, she still maintained a calm expression, but the hand on the side of the chair was tightly clenched, the veins were extremely clear under the translucent skin, and the joints were terribly pale.
Dalton looked at her.
Perhaps many times, being haggard will greatly reduce the charm of a beauty, but this definitely does not include Adele. The sun shines through the rose window of the room and falls on the queen's body. The fine dust in the air is flying like gold powder. The exhaustion between her brows turns into the sadness of the goddess under the goldsmith's knife.
Even on the night of the mutiny, Dalton had never seen her show such a look.
Maybe it was, but it was hidden under the darkness and cloak.
Dalton realized that Heinrich had indeed been very important to her.
He had also heard about some things between Adele and Heinrich. Adele was expelled from the court by her father. During the exile for several years, the only thing that accompanied her was the double-headed snake. The young heir of the family. Many people privately speculated about the Queen's feelings for Heinrich.
Do you think of him as the elder brother, the father, or a further... lover?
Why didn't the arrow hit that guy's skull directly?
Dalton could hardly restrain his hatred of Heinrich, which contained both the original aversion to the nobility and the newly added element-the hatred of one man against another.
"What is the reason for your objection?"
Adele raised her face and looked at him, perhaps because of fatigue, her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.
Dalton did not answer immediately.
There are many reasons. For example, John VIII is a complete believer of the old religion, for example, the Yage Kingdom’s ambitions for the Roland Empire, such as...for example, when he heard that she might marry another person, he instantly burst into anger. , It was the fire that made him tear the letter to pieces without hesitation.
"Dalton, talk about it."
"You always don't want to marry a stinking pig?" Dalton shrugged and made no secret of his dislike of King Jager. "It would be better to believe the demon's promise than his contract. I bet it is. When those idiots in Congress were thinking about how to satisfy him, he was thinking about how to swallow you and Roland."
Adele didn't speak, looked at him for a while, and a short smile passed over her face.
Dalton caught it, and couldn't help feeling that his mood improved strangely.
"That's right." Her voice returned to normal and steady again. "However, as Heinrich said, if I refuse his marriage proposal, Roland will not welcome a terrible king. It's a fleet. Is there any way you can deal with it?"
"Mole's mercenaries have just arrived at the port and haven't left yet." Dalton said, "If you return ten fires/cannons to them and pay a certain amount, they will help us fight the enemy."
"What's the winning rate?" Adele asked, "Although I don't understand military affairs, I hope you can tell the truth, knowing that white lies can sometimes be worse than cruel truth."
Dalton hesitated for a moment: "There is a chance of winning, but you can't engage in a naval battle with the opponent, you must let them land."
"Then what's in our port?" Adele asked, and then quickly answered by himself, "Wool, red wine, cloth...This is the most prosperous place in Roland now. Now the drought has not passed. If the port is caught in war Destroy, then what are we going to use to maintain the army and the government? And, Dalton, as a believer of the New God, you should know better than I what the port means to us."
"We need allies," Dalton said, and a gloom crossed his face. "You have another choice."
The queen looked at him.
When he said it, Dalton almost immediately regretted it. He quickly suppressed the trace of regret and avoided the queen's gaze.
"Roland is not the only enemy against the Yage Kingdom. Our neighbor, the Root Empire, established the Protestant religion as the state religion two years ago. John VI has been trying to attack it." Dalton said quickly, "The Root Empire is more John VI came young, he was only twenty-four years old this year, and he was not yet married...The alliance with the Ruth Empire allows us to gain a powerful ally, and John VI’s fleet will have to return to defend before reaching the strait. Own country."
"Sounds pretty good." Adele nodded calmly, nothing unusual on his face, "How does he look?"
"……very handsome."
"Better than you?"
"……No."
Dalton gritted his teeth and replied. After the answer, the atmosphere in the room became stagnant.
"When did the ambassador of the Ruth Empire arrive?"
"Three days ago."
"Why didn't you tell me then?" Adele's gaze fell on Dalton's face. Dalton felt like she was looking for something. "Or, you invited me to hunt today just to say this. ? You want to persuade me to marry the Emperor of the Ruth Empire? Right?"
Dalton stared silently at the letter torn by him on the table.
Why didn't you say it three days ago?
Because he had given up so much energy at the time, he restrained the urge to draw the gun and hit the arrogant ambassador of the Ruth Empire. He repeatedly warned himself that the marriage between the queen and the Protestant empire is more conducive to the consolidation of the position of the Protestant sect and can even cause a further impact on the Congress.
Because of this, he didn't let the idiots who thought Adele had become Queen Rutter go back.
But for three days, he didn't want to mention it to the queen at all.
Until... until the **** Heinrich brought the worse news today.
"Please come here, Mr. Dalton," Adele said softly.
Dalton walked to her, and she raised her hand to grab his collar and pulled him towards herself. Those magnificent eyes stared at him for a long time, and Dalton could clearly see his shadow from them... She could use such eyes to conquer everyone with such staring eyes that seemed to be in love.
When this thought passed through his mind, the queen raised a hand and pressed a finger to his lips.
When her fingertips carried his familiar warmth and ran over his lips with some strength, he subconsciously remembered the **** and contentious kiss in the colonnade of the statue.
——Don't agree to his marriage proposal.
This sentence seemed to be blurted out soon.
Snapped.
There was another crisp sound.
Adele retracted the hand whose fingertips had turned white due to excessive force, and slammed him back. Her slap was harder than that day, and a bright red palm print appeared on Dalton's pale and handsome cheeks-it can be seen that its owner definitely used ten percent of his strength.
"You can arrange the ceremony to welcome the envoys of the Ruth Empire," the queen sat backlit, "you can also start arranging marriage negotiations."
Dalton was not sure if he saw a little water passing her eyes, he took a step forward.
"Dalton," Adele said, "now you get out of me too."
……………………
Mrs. Kelly opened the door and walked to the Queen.
Adele leaned back in his chair, thinking about something, his expression was extremely calm, without any fatigue, sadness or anger. When Mrs. Kelly came in, she looked up and smiled: "Get the map for me, dear."
Not only did Mrs. Carey fetch a map for her, she also fetched a basin of hot water for her, soaked a soft white cloth in the water, and then used it to gently wipe the Queen’s left hand-which Adele gave to Dalton. The slap was a little too hard, and the palms turned red at the moment.
"Why don't you cry this time? Kelly."
Adele made a joke and got Carrie's condemned look.
"Are you really going to marry Emperor Rutte?"
Mrs. Kelly hesitated for a moment, and she still asked her doubts. The question of her identity was actually a bit overstepped. But after so many years of getting along, her relationship with the queen was far more than just the master and servant.
The queen is the princess who grew up under her care, is her master, and is her faith. And she is an inseparable family member in the queen's life.
"It's just an alliance." Adele said casually, unfolding a secret letter from Heinrich to Mrs. Kelly, "Marriage negotiations will take at least two years. When the contract is officially signed, things should have been resolved long ago."
