queen of the empire

Harlow feels that fate is really a wonderful thing, just like him and Hand.

He had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child. His father, Cesare, was a Marquis and was once a well-known general. As the second son of a Marquis, he can live a very comfortable life. Following his father's footsteps into the army, he will have a very bright future.

But he met Hand.

At that time, he was only 25 years old, and he was still a college student, while Hand was only two and a half years old at that time, and he couldn't even speak clearly.

Harlow remembered clearly that the first time he met Hand was at a grand banquet hosted by His Majesty Emperor Sandro and Queen Mirei for the newly born Holeini.

The blond-haired, blue-eyed Holeni, who perfectly inherits the lineage of the Joanne d'Arc family, is loved by everyone, and he was born to Queen Miret. Although he has a half-brother in front of him, his background is obviously much nobler. There are many, I believe that it will not take many years to grow into a perfect heir to the throne.

Almost all the great nobles attended the banquet, and Piram, the illegitimate son, also came. He also brought his three children. The oldest Kane was in his teens, and the youngest was Hande, who was over two years old and spoke It's hard to say clearly, and the road can't move much.

Logically speaking, he should not have attended the banquet at such a young age, but Piram wanted his father to see his grandson. Before Holeini was born, his illegitimate child was quite valued, but once Holeini was born, his His status fell to the bottom, and he hoped to win his father's favor with a cute child.

But his idea obviously didn't work very well. Sandro only had the beautiful Holeini in his eyes. Compared with Holeini, the other children were like heaven and earth. He didn't like it at all, no, he didn't even want to look at it.

His Majesty the Emperor doesn't like it, so naturally he won't receive any good treatment. Piram and Gina are busy trying to please Sandro, the father, so there is no time to take care of the children, so the three children are left alone. The servants in the palace I don't like them either, and even point fingers at them.

Children of other great nobles don't like to play with them, and they like to bully them, laughing at their father as an illegitimate child.

Kane has an impulsive and irritable temper, and when he was provoked, he fought with several children born in the great nobles.

And Harlow happened to pass by, and came over when he heard the sound.

Both Kane and Weixi were only in their teens, so how could they beat those heirs of great nobles with their guards and servants? Naturally, they had to be beaten.

Harlow just looked at it like this at the time, and he didn't intend to help. Among the children who did it, he knew several children, and even children from in-laws' families, and he didn't like the few in Carney, so he understood it. Ready to leave.

But at this time, the little Han De, who was only over two years old, waddled to the center of the crowd, and opened his arms to block the two elder brothers while crying. He couldn't speak clearly, and kept crying, but everyone still understood. .

He told everyone to stop beating his brother, it hurts.

At that time, Han was simple and kind. From the trembling voice and the tears on his face, it can be seen that he was very scared and he knew the pain, but he still stood in front of his two older brothers, trying to use his little body to protect them.

Seeing Hand like this, Harlow felt very ashamed.

Don't expect children to know the seriousness. Children who are young and have not yet fully established their three views are sometimes very cruel. Faced with such hand, most children simply ignore it and beat them when they should.

So in the end it was Harlow who helped to reconcile. Looking at Hand who said softly thank you brother with fluttering pure eyes, Harlow's heart began to soften.

One month later, Sandro and Mirei died unexpectedly, and the newly born Holini could not do anything, and Piram, who was an adult and had three children, became the new Emperor His Majesty.

The three of Kane, who were bullied before, became His Royal Highness, and became the most popular existence, especially Kane. There are countless people who want to get close to him. He is the first heir to the throne. His bodyguard is a shortcut to success.

In contrast, Xiao Douding, Hande, has many little shrimps around him, most of them are children from small noble families, and they came here knowing that there was no hope for Kane.

Harlow was not among the candidates when Hand selected his bodyguard. He was just here to watch. He planned to enter the army after graduation. Because he could not inherit the title, entering the army was the best choice. With his father's support, he believed in the road will be ruthlessly flat.

The people in the candidate team were all carefully selected, and in the end, Han De himself chose a few who were pleasing to the eye.

Hande didn't understand anything. He sat on the chair and looked left and right. After looking for a while, he saw Harlow. His eyes lit up. He didn't know these people, but he knew Harold. He saved him And the big brother of the brothers.

So he pointed at Harlow!

Everyone was dumbfounded, Harlow was not a candidate, and with Harlow's status, even if he wanted to be elected, he should be elected. People from big noble families always think highly of themselves, and rarely would they be willing to be relatives of ordinary princes. Wei, that is almost insulated from power. If you are lucky, you can manage the army on the fief. If you are unlucky, you will be an errand for the rest of your life. The small nobles may think it is good, but the big nobles don’t like it at all. Harlow His father is a general, how could he let his son down like this.

But unexpectedly, Harlow smiled and agreed after being stunned for a few seconds.

"It is my honor, my dear Highness Hand." He knelt down on one knee.

This child is still so young and so innocent. Even if he has a distinguished position now, he will probably be bullied or deceived and used by people around him. Harlow couldn't bear to see such a scene. You can't rest assured at all.

His family and friends didn't understand his decision, but Harlow didn't care, he didn't want to protect Hand because Hand was a prince.

Harlow has spent nearly 200 years with Hand, and he has never regretted his original decision for a day.

Even though Hand made many wrong and cruel decisions, Harlow has always stood by his side unswervingly.

When I swear to be your most loyal knight, I surrender my life and faith to you, and I will never turn my back on you, even if the whole world abandons you.

I swear.

……

"Harlow."

"Your Highness?"

"I can't seem to see your face clearly."

"..."

"I've been hearing my mother talking to me recently. Do you think she's blaming me?"

"...No, Her Majesty Gina loves you so much, no."

"Really?"

"real."

"Are you saying I'm going to hell?"

"I will be with you, Your Highness."

"I am pretty tired……"

"...I know, rest well, Your Highness."

"Thank you, Harlow... thank you all the time..."

"..."

Harlow held Hand's hand, and tears couldn't stop streaming down. This sick body finally came to the end of life, but he couldn't do anything...

"Good night, my dear Highness..."
