return to the throne

late at night.

In a dimly lit room, a young man was sipping fine wine silently by himself.

He sat reclined in the soft armchair, resting his head with his right hand, and staring at the front with his eyes casually.The whole room was extremely quiet, only the bonfire in the stove was burning, making occasional beeping sounds, and the dancing fire light illuminated the man's green pupils, as if golden light reflected intoxicating colors in pure emeralds.

Suddenly, a sound of soft footsteps appeared behind him, breaking the silence in the room at the moment.

Immediately afterwards, a soft female voice sounded, "Adrian, my brother, the maid said that you want to see me for something."

The man—Adrian Darkdraken from Lancaster didn't look up, he didn't seem to care about the arrival of the girl behind him, he was still staring at the flames intently, "Emily, we're going to have an audience tomorrow Carlos Castilla of Aragon, please wear your best dress and don't make a faux pas."

"Carlos of Aragon? The Aragon king of Sardinia?" Emily hesitated, "He came to Black Rock City? Adrian, why do we want to see him?"

Her brother's thoughtless words made her feel a little uneasy. Emily grabbed her nightgown and looked at her brother in confusion.The white and loose clothes made her figure thinner and thinner, which made her look so pure and fragile as a newborn lily.

The man said softly. "Because we're marrying him."

A moment of silence.

Emily's voice trembled, "Marriage? Why?"

Adrian replied, "I need a patron, and I need him to bring me an army to help me take back Dakdraken. We can't stay in Black Rock City forever. The rebels will come here soon. You and My life would be in danger."

His sister, Emily, looked agitated.

"We can rely on the nobles! Brother! Sir Lorraine, Sir Pedro, and others, our knights... They will all fight for us, Adrian, write to them and ask them to support us, you To marry Aragorn? No! I will not marry a pirate!"

"The nobles betrayed us, Emily." Adrian said silently, "Some of the people you mentioned died, some fled, and the rest joined the rebels and killed our father Mother, we fled in a hurry with our escorts, and now we are at the end of the road, we have no choice."

"But...that's a pirate! It's a barbarian! Think about how my parents treated them! What would they say if they knew that we planned to marry him!"

"Emily, our father and mother are already under the seat of the God of Light, they can't speak." Adrian looked at his sister indifferently, the corners of his thin mouth were curled up, looking cold and unreasonable , "And... the bride is not necessarily you."

"What do you mean?" Emily's voice was hesitant, and then her expression became more nervous. "Do you have any other candidates, brother? You want to deceive Aragorn?"

The thought made her shudder. The king of Aragon would never tolerate deceit. Promising him the daughter of Draculaken but giving him another woman is playing with a king. Carlos Castile is not That kind of soft-hearted monarch, he is the king of the ocean, sitting on several islands in Sardinia, and has an army of more than 30. He can easily win by land or water. Now Adrian and the others are in danger. No more enemies can be added.

Adrian shook the empty wine glass, got up and filled another glass of wine for himself, he stared at the bright red liquid inside for a few seconds, "Don't be nervous, my sister, the Aragon dynasty has the habit of marrying men, like you As you said, they are uncivilized and have not received the teachings of the God of Light, so you may not be the one who married Carlos." He hooked the corners of his mouth as if mocking himself, but there was no smile in his eyes, "It may also be me. "

Emily was shocked. Her brother's words pierced through the heart of this slender girl like a sharp knife. Her green eyes, which were exactly the same as her brother's, suddenly widened, and her voice raised in vain. "Are we like goods for him to choose? We are the blood of the black dragon, not slaves to be slaughtered, and we must not lose our dignity! Especially you, brother, you are the heir appointed by your father, and you are Dakzhuo. Prince of Laken, you must not marry a bandit leader who made his fortune by savage plundering!"

Adrian had no sense of his sister's fierce opposition, "Do we have any choice? Sister? If we can regain our kingdom, I can pay any price, including giving you or myself." He With a sigh, "Please don't think I'm cruel to you, Emily, I ask you and I to be ready to sacrifice for our kingdom at any time. If Carlos picks you out, I swear I won't let your sacrifice be in vain, etc. I will take back the throne, and I will be your strongest backing. Even if you want to leave Aragon, I will fully support it. If Carlos wants me, then I will protect you, and I will gather the army and send you back. Dark Dracon, you may not be queen, but your child will be the new king, and that promise will never change."

Emily couldn't help but covered her face and began to cry. The distress of reality had made this once pampered princess grow too much, but the bad news came one after another, obviously endless. Now these two choices were in front of her. Emily doesn't know where to go - the choice doesn't lie with her, no matter who she meets, the road ahead must be extremely difficult, and she has no way of controlling her future path.

"No, Adrian." She sobbed, "You must take back our kingdom, I can't do it, and I can't command the army... If you have to choose one of us to be the queen of Aragorn, I hope it's me, tomorrow I'll put on my best clothes, I'll seduce him, make Castilla fall in love with me."

Adrian didn't speak again.

Emily is his princess, and also his most beloved little sister, let her act like a daughter-in-law to seduce a barbaric pirate king, Adrian is heartbroken, but what can he do if he doesn't? .

Half a month ago, Adrian was still a respected prince, and Emily was also an innocent princess.Their parents, James and Margaret, were the beloved King and Queen, but all that goodness was ruined by the evil rebel, Queen Paristerling from the Swamp of the Abyss.The Paris Stirling family was ambitious, and they had attempted to co-operate as early as 300 years ago. Their ancestor, Edward I, who founded the Black Dragon Kingdom, had a broad mind. He did not drive out these ambitious people, but drove them to the Black Dragon The abyss swamp in the northernmost part of the kingdom allowed Paris Sterling to build his own city there, and this kindness continued throughout the entire Black Dragon Dynasty, including the current No.12 monarch, James Draculaken. The sympathy for the barrenness of the abyss swamp and the sympathy of the people in its fiefs reduced some of Pallister's taxes. Unexpectedly, this practice gave birth to a deeper desire for this family-they wanted the entire kingdom and wanted to return to the richest land. Lancaster, the capital of Lancaster, occupies a large area of ​​land, rich food and beautiful women. Therefore, when Quinn, the lord of the Pallister family, came to meet the king, he ordered his dead soldiers to kill the king and queen. , Then he controlled the ministers of the royal court and issued a decree to become the king himself. Only Adrian and Emily escaped in a hurry under the protection of the knights.

The author has something to say:

This article is inspired by the dragon mother and siblings in "Game of Thrones", which is a very, very early brain hole several years ago.After watching the episode where Dragon Mother was forced to marry, I kept thinking, what kind of story would happen if my brother is a bottom-line and smart guy, and the marriage partner is more reliable?So there is the setting of brothers and sisters who have died.But to be honest, the royal family in exile is not uncommon in history, but there are not many who really succeeded in restoring the country, and most of them died in such an unknown way. As the title implies, he will one day return to the throne.

You may have a sense of familiarity with many names in this article, such as Castile, Aragon, Phoenicia, Lancaster, etc. Although they are overhead, I used a lot of European place names and ancient kingdoms to make do with my brain I will not say which of these two country prototypes is the history of the cave history. The names have already revealed everything. .

pS: This article will have a baby, challenge the pregnancy stalk.Also... I didn't want to say clean or unclean at first, but I was afraid that someone would be entangled, so I answered: Yes, Gong Shou Shuang Jie, only dedicated to the other party's feelings and body.
