[Famous Books] Desire for control and arrogance

It's not that Alice has never done this kind of thing to play with Mech. Her father forced them to play together before, but the age gap between them is too big, and Mech was born when Alice was not mentally prepared, so When the two of them stayed together, Alice always sulked aside, and the two of them seldom communicated.

The current communication has increased more than ever before, but Mei Qi only regards her as a servant who can explain for money, and when she finishes speaking, he plays for a while and finds that there is no obstacle, so he immediately lets her go.

Alice had no reason to stay anymore, she stared blankly in the direction of her father, who had long since disappeared there.

Edward and Mech seemed to be going out to do other things just now, but now that they had a quarrel, Edward quickly retreated back to Alice's room and never came out again.

Alice didn't need to check, she knew that he must be suffering.

Looking at the sad father before, she could still arouse some emotions, but now she began to calm down again.

Maybe it was under the influence of Mech.

Meggie was so indifferent to her father's pain, it made her feel a lot too.

That's right, everyone's thoughts can't be shared. Rather than wanting her father to suffer from the loss of her daughter, she actually wants to see her father understand her pain, and she wants to see her father regretting and saying sorry She wanted to see her father say that he would never treat her in such a horrible way again.

She took a deep breath, went to a street to buy more toys, then returned to Meggie, handed the toys to Meggie under Meggie's surprised eyes, then said with a bowed head, "Here, here you are. "

The servant beside Mech quickly checked the toy before giving it to Mech.

"Why did you give it to me?" Mech asked puzzled.

"Gold, that's too much." Alice said anxiously.

Mech smiled, and her voice became a little warm: "You're not bad, so I'll take it."

Alice didn't leave, and suddenly said: "I, I have delivered goods to the hostess of this family, Ms. Alice, many times."

Mech frowned: "Alice?" After all, he still had a weak relationship with Alice, so he wasn't very excited when he heard this.

"You are her family, right?" Alice said in a hoarse voice, slowing down her tone, as if someone who had difficulty speaking was trying to speak smoothly.

"Yes, if you have anything to say, just say it." Mech cooperated.

"She asked my family what it was like to get along with me, and said that she was abandoned by her family because she was disobedient. I said that if she wanted to repair the relationship, she could go back to her family, but she was unwilling. Very later, I Knowing that she used to be the princess of Karen, after hearing some rumors, I realized why she didn't want to. It turned out that she was expelled and had a different status, so she couldn't go back and look for her. If she knew that you came to look for her, she would You should be very happy."

"She won't." Mech said quickly and confidently. He paused, and he was also a little confused why he was so sure, but he added, "Maybe happy too, but even happy is a trigger of fear." happy."

"Why?" Alice suddenly became agitated. She felt that this brother, who had always had a bad relationship with her, might be the only person in the world who could understand her.

She is too lonely, and she wants someone who understands her so much, so she is inevitably excited.

However, Mech had no intention of talking about family affairs with a stranger. He lowered his eyes, concealed his emotions, and said with a straight look: "It's just a feeling. Do you have anything else to say about Alice?"

This is a bit like chasing people away.

"Yes," Alice said hastily, not wanting to leave, "my lord, no, Your Highness, that young lady has also revealed that she is in such pain that she feels that death will be a relief. This kind of pain has little to do with a poor life, more Most of them are because she was abandoned by her family. Can you help to tell King Karen about this matter? Because the young lady mentioned her father the most, and she may also want him to know."

Mech pursed her lips, remained silent for half a minute, and said, "Tell him yourself, I can't remember that much."

As soon as I heard this, I knew it was just an excuse. I couldn't remember anything, I just didn't want to convey it.

But this is better, Alice has a chance to talk to her father.

Just at this moment, someone suddenly ran over and said to Alice: "Jack, hurry up, I have something to do, come with me."

Jack is the name agreed upon by Alice and Aldrich, so this person should be someone sent by Aldrich, who wants to take Alice away.

Alice had no choice but to say to Mei Qi: "Your Highness, I will come to you later."

Impatiently, she followed the man away, walked to a very remote alley far away, and saw Aldrich.

Aldrich's expression was not good, and he approached Alice anxiously and said, "Didn't I say try not to get close to them? Are you not afraid of being discovered?"

At this moment, Alice didn't care whether she found out or not. She just wanted her father to know that she was wrong, but she still said to Aldrich, "I'm sure they won't find out before going there."

Aldrich still looked anxious: "Don't get close to them again."

Alice felt a little strange: "Didn't you want me to end earlier? Why are you more afraid of exposure than me now? If I were exposed, wouldn't it be better for you?"

Aldridge choked suddenly, and there was a moment of panic on his face.

Of course he wanted Alice to stop doing these things earlier, but he was alone just now, and the more he thought about it, the more important it was not to let Alice find out that he was also involved in it. He hadn't thought of anything that could get Edward to help him Keep it secret, what if Alice gets close to Edward and Alice finds out about Edward talking nonsense?

Alice couldn't help squinting her eyes when she saw Aldridge like this.

She probably guessed what Aldrich was worried about, because he only had one secret about her to worry about, and that was a good guess.

However, this also means that she has to contact her father sooner to fulfill her wish, because the ghost knows whether Aldrich has been worried for a long time, and will reveal her plan to his father so that he can discuss countermeasures without telling her.

"Aldrich," Alice said in a gentle tone, "thank you for thinking about me, but you don't have to worry, I can really control them, I know them too well, if they find out, they can't fool me. I There are still things to do, you go back first."

How could Aldrich let her go back to contact them so easily, and said quickly: "Why don't you wait, I will also make a dress to help you."

He had to watch to be reassured.

"No need." Alice said with a smile, her eyes firm, "Go back, don't worry."

"Alice, can I accompany you?" Aldrich still did not give up.

Alice was too lazy to continue this time-consuming entanglement with him, looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Why are you so wrong all of a sudden? You really have no reason to stop me all the time. Do you have something to hide from me?" Me, so I don't want me to touch them directly?"

"I didn't." Aldridge said hurriedly, paused, his tone was weaker, "I didn't stop you, I just wanted to help you."

He probably also knew that he could not persuade Alice, so he could only struggle again: "Let me accompany you, okay?"

Alice shook her head: "No, I want to introduce some family matters, and I don't want you to hear it. You go back first, and don't embarrass me, okay?"

Aldridge had no choice but to watch Alice leave.He could only hope that Edward would not start talking nonsense to strangers all at once.

Alas, when Alice leaves this time, he must contact Edward to clarify everything, and the two of them will discuss a way out together.

Alice walked back quickly, but Meggie was still waiting at the door. She was a little touched, and stepped forward and said, "My lord, have you been waiting for me?"

Mech blinked the indifferent blue eyes of the Karen family, and said speechlessly, "Don't be sentimental, I just don't want to meet my royal father dryly."

Alice: "..." Well, she really doesn't know her brother well enough.

"Go in." Mech greeted.

Alice took a deep look at the closed windows upstairs, and silently followed Meki's footsteps.

Unexpectedly, Edward upstairs was actually packing his luggage. He looked as if he was going to evacuate the whole house, as if he wanted to pack up and take away all the traces of his daughter left in the world.

"Father." Mech was stunned, and ran to Edward's side in small steps, wondering, "What are you doing?"

"Go back." Edward said bluntly, but he didn't last long. He slumped heavily on the floor within a few seconds and burst into tears, crying, "My Alice, my Alice..."

Maybe it was because Edward really planned to leave, this time his mood swings became the biggest, and he couldn't stop shouting at all.

Mech felt a headache when he saw it, and couldn't get in the conversation at all, so he took a step back carefully to look again, but was suddenly hugged by Edward and couldn't walk away.

"Meggy, your sister is dead, your sister is dead." Edward finally communicated with Meggy about Alice, but it was like this.

Mech was stiff and confused, obviously unable to understand Edward's heavy heart at all. Edward held him and cried for a long time, and he also felt Mech's indifference, crying even more painfully: "You are too young to understand, you Your sister is dead, your sister is dead."

At Mech's age, it's not that he doesn't understand, it's just that he doesn't have the emotional foundation, but Edward just can't see through it.

"Father, I have something to tell you." Mech hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.

Edward didn't want to hear anything, he was just sad: "My Alice, died somewhere I couldn't see, why did you treat me like this? I have already lost one of my favorite people, and now I have taken another one? I What did I do wrong? I... I work hard every day to do what a king should do, and I always plan for the future of my children. I have persisted for so many years and never slack off easily. Why do you treat me like this..."

At this moment, Alice turned her head and didn't look any further.

The voice of her once closest father echoed in this small room, and also echoed in her mind.

Yes, he is indeed working hard every day, so although she is often arrogant, she still feels from the bottom of her heart that her father is the most powerful person in the world.

He is obviously so perfect, but why did he put a knife in her heart?Why do you feel that you have done nothing wrong after inserting a knife?

Alice wants to ask for an explanation, and wants her father to feel her pain, but now, she understands some truths, that is, no matter how close their blood relationship is, how deep their bond is, their pain is still not in common of.

It was as if her heart was in throes of grievance and incomprehension at the moment, her father was having a mental breakdown because of her daughter's death, and her biological brother was looking at the ceiling in confusion and anxiety.

Alice also wanted to leave this place like her brother, too tired and lonely.

It's a pity that when she turned around, Mech finally realized her existence again. As if seeing a life-saving straw, Mech tried hard to shake Edward's body, which was as tall as a mountain, and tried to find his own voice in Edward's cries: " Father, father, that person knows something about my sister, you can ask him quickly, that person has met my sister many times!"

His still immature voice finally penetrated Edward's crying, Edward stopped the twitching and crying of his whole body as if frozen, and looked stiffly at the place where Alice was.

Then, everyone in the room was surprised to see that Edward, like a drowning person who finally found a life-saving floating object, walked in front of Alice in a crazy and cherishing manner. He bent down and asked cautiously: "You know?" My beloved Alice?"

Alice's throat moved, and before she knew what to do next, Edward immediately shouted to the servant next to her: "Put the bench in the living room back to its original state, I want to entertain guests."

He happily and humbly dragged Alice to sit on the bench, wanted to urge her but dared not, and asked with red eyes, "Just tell me, everything is fine."

He just wanted to hear what Alice had done in places he couldn't see, and everything was fine, because those little things that he usually ignores are already a luxury that he can no longer see.

Alice looked at the complicated expression on her father's face from a close distance, and she became timid, her mouth and thinking were as dull as an animal, so she could only stumble and say, "The first time I saw Miss Alice, it was When lunch was brought to her, she ordered bread."

"Only bread?" Edward asked in disbelief.

Alice didn't expect him to interrupt at this place, and said in a daze, "Yes, there is only bread, black bread."

Edward's tears flowed silently: "Yes, she thought she was poor. My little Alice grew up so big and lived so hard. I was waiting for her to get better in the future, and I asked people to send food to her every month , because she is too picky, and may not be used to the food here. But that day is gone, these days she has no conditions to eat what she likes. "

He fell into uncontrollable pain again, and Alice didn't know how to react, but Mech, who didn't have much emotion in the distance, was able to calm down.

Mech approached Edward helplessly, patted Edward on the back, and said, "Father, let others finish talking before crying."

Mei Qi was clearly a child, but at this moment, Edward looked like a helpless child.

Edward was silent for a while, wiped his tears roughly with the back of his hand, and said, "Sorry, you continue."

Alice's heart became heavy, she nodded stiffly, and continued to say in a chaotic way: "Miss, she..."

Edward interrupted again uncontrollably: "Call her a princess." After the interruption, he realized that it was not good, and twitched the corner of his mouth stiffly with apology, and said, "I'm sorry, but the word miss is harsher. .”

Alice silently took a deep breath, thinking ecstatically: So he also knows harshness, so is he also regretting how he treated her back then?

Even if it was a little bit of regret, a little bit of regret that he thought of, she wouldn't be so bitter.

She regained her senses, stared at Edward's facial expression carefully, and continued: "Princess, she often lives alone. I gave her something at the door. She was about to leave, but she suddenly stopped me and asked me how my family relationship is." .”

At this point, Alice showed a trace of difficult emotions, so she could pause logically so that Edward could think.

Edward didn't urge him, but it was because he couldn't think anymore. He didn't expect Alice to be entangled in such a question. He was so entangled that he even asked a stranger who was delivering food. His eyes were red again, and he muttered to himself: "Our family relationship is very good, Alice, the family relationship is very good, don't doubt yourself. Alas, Alice, you have to trust the father, the father loves you the most."

He was so sure of it, and what love, love, it was as if Alice didn't know love.At this moment, Alice couldn't help getting angry: "Really? But the princess looked very painful, saying that she was abandoned."

"Fake," Edward closed his eyes in pain, "you don't understand, she can't think of it, it's all fake, I just want her to learn well, how can I not love her? I saw her from birth Growing up, in order to protect her, I never let her leave the palace easily. When I made up my mind to let her learn well, I couldn't sleep all night and night, afraid that she would cry and get sick, but I forced myself not to think about it. Because she was supposed to grow up."

Alice couldn't stand it anymore. Edward's words were all about his dedication and hard work, and he didn't feel any guilt towards her. He also believed that she could only get better in this way, and felt that she was hopeless. , she couldn't restrain her sharp tone: "Your Majesty, I have also heard about your affairs. But, since I have been taking good care of you before, why can't I choose a gentle way to treat the princess? It's okay to demote people to common people. Even if you are forced to marry a beggar, does that really make people grow?"

Edward was unmoved, and said deeply: "Birds that nest in high places always have to face the danger of being pushed down by big birds before they can learn to fly."

Alice didn't expect him to have such a motive, huh—so this kind of analogy determined her fate. She gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, but some birds have learned it, and some are dead, right? And the bird's wings When you are not plump, the big bird will not push. Pushing is to let the little bird die. Have you ever thought about the risk of failure when you treat the princess like this? The princess has said many times that she does not want to live, and lives every day She was in a daze, and for a while, because of the repeated blows in her life, she felt that it would be good to die unexpectedly. So she prayed to the gods, let her die unexpectedly."

This is true, Alice used to live a good life, never thought of death, and felt that she should live a good life with her father, but when she was hit repeatedly, when she felt that life was hopeless, her mind was Thoughts of death burst forth.

But she didn't practice it. Death is too cheap for those she hates. She wants to live to make trouble for the people she hates.

She is not completely hopeless, she still has a hope, that is, to live a good life, wear the best clothes and jewelry in her old age, become a ghost, a star, an angel, anyway I want to see her beloved queen mother beautifully.

Alice was diverging her thoughts and trying to adjust her unstable state of mind, but Edward suddenly had difficulty breathing, tears fell in big drops, and said in disbelief: "She went to pray to the gods for an accidental death?!"

The word "accidental death" was the cause of Alice's death that Edward received. Edward even found words like "bread" and "miss" harsh, let alone the word "accidental death"?

"Is it because she kept praying? But why did you agree to her? She is ignorant...she doesn't know that those sufferings are fake..." Edward was shocked and completely collapsed.

He thought he had calculated everything, that he was cruelly tempering people, that he was giving with pain, but it turned out that he was causing the greatest disaster to his beloved daughter.

Alice, the Alice he had been protecting had been killed by him, how would he explain to his wife who had turned into a ghost?

He suddenly thought of one of his cousins, who also had a beloved daughter.

My cousin likes to throw his daughter up and catch her again. One day, if he fails to catch her, her daughter dies.

When he heard it at the time, he felt that his cousin was really stupid, but now he realized that he himself was also a really stupid person.

He didn't see the danger clearly, he took it for granted that his daughter was good, and then, like his cousin, he threw his own child to death with his own hands.

But no matter how guilty and uneasy, Alice will never come back.

His most beautiful child, the child he loves the most, the child he loves the most, was supposed to smile brightly, enjoy the best of everything, and live comfortably under his hard work, but he was thrown from a high place by his own hands and fell heavily. fell to his death.

I remember my cousin crying and saying that when his cousin’s daughter died, she couldn’t even cry, so what about his own Alice, she couldn’t wait for him to save her after crying for so long.

As his father, he was more hopeless than his cousin.

But everything was caused by him, and it has nothing to do with Alice, so why take revenge on the innocent Alice?She's never done anything bad, ever.
