lyra sleepless

Yan Jing hugged Lisko in time with a helpless expression before Croto clenched his fists and dragged him back.

If the elector killed this guy on a whim, wouldn't it be the crown prince who cleaned up his mess?

The crown prince said simply: "No, Crotor is not yet of age."

Croto finally stopped the one-sided fight with Yan Jingye, and turned to look at the crown prince with eyes full of emotion.

Lisko touched his nose and said unconsciously, "He's due next year, so he can get engaged first, and I don't mind waiting another year."

Croto almost jumped out of the head of Yan Jingye who opened his arms to stop him, and he cursed: "Yan Jingye, don't stop me, I'll bite this shameless bastard to death!"

Lisko shrugged and took a step back, pretending to be afraid, reluctantly said to the Crown Prince: "If the Elector is really unwilling, it's okay to be quiet."

Yan Jing also froze for an instant, and he let go of Croto's hand.

Let Crotor kill this guy.

The crown prince sneered: "You are a little too greedy. I took the initiative to reveal my identity to you, which is my affirmation of your status among immigrants. Now I want my confidant to marry you. What is the next step? Replace it ? Do you think too highly of yourself? I can support a Lisko, and I can also support other people, and there are not many people who are eyeing the position of commander of the immigration army."

"Your Highness, I have absolutely no intention of doing so." Lisko showed a sincere and affectionate expression, "I have always been flattered by your preferential treatment, so I should help Your Highness solve problems, not only me, but all immigrants are like this Do, they were targeted as spies of the empire, disgusted on the territory of the republic, driven out, thrown into concentration camps, such a sacrifice needs to be rewarded, and you only gave them a promise, a promise of equality, nothing more than a castle in the air. Yes , the empire is in dire straits, and the Republic is retreating steadily, but who can guarantee that the empire will share the fruits of victory with the immigrants? They have never seen your face, never heard your voice, oh, now there is another one added, this month You act eccentrically. The seeds of doubt are sown from the very beginning, and the suspicion of the people will grow wildly at the slightest sign. It is time to give more. You have to convince them that empire and immigration are one."

His tone was like a playboy who was bewitching a girl.

"So you want Croto, or Yan Jingye, isn't Croto more appropriate according to your identity?" A hint of evil interest appeared in the crown prince's eyes, "Don't even think about it, if you have to plan a noble spouse for yourself , Lachesis, I can give it to you, his third wife just left him."

Crotor burst out laughing.

Elector Lachesis is a potbellied old aristocrat who used to be the leader of a rebel organization, but now he has long been separated from the center of power.

Lisko made a gesture of surrender: "Okay, Your Highness. It's normal for you to be reluctant to part with the humerus minister, but for an outsider with an unstable position like me, having a partner who is too powerful is not a good thing. After all The tree attracts the wind. Moreover, I have a more appropriate idea," he bit the word appropriate.

"You should be married."

After making such a big detour, Lisko finally made the move he really wanted to make.

The crown prince raised his eyelashes, looked at him steadily, and showed an unpredictable smile, then pulled out the black braided rope from the collar of his shirt, and pushed the bright ring in front of him: "I'm married. "

"It's not your size," Lisko said with a smile, "and I guess His Royal Highness won't be able to produce another ring. You may have a crush, but it's definitely not married, and a married man doesn't die alone, Especially a man like the crown prince—even if you die, you will bring your other half out of Orpheus."

"Do I have such an infatuated image in your heart?"

"It's not infatuation, it's the desire to control. It's a good thing to have the desire to control. As a king, you should understand that it is a great humiliation for your beloved to fall into the hands of the enemy, but infatuation is in vain. Those who will fall in love with the consul Youjing will definitely not love again Crown Prince of God," Lisko spread his hands, "so forget everything that happened. Your marriage can be more useful. I have a very beautiful immigrant in my hand, and the conditions are very suitable: first of all, he is a man, so You don't have to worry about royal blood, no family so if you don't like it, he can die very sick after the war, and the best part—"

Lisko smiled and held out a finger.

"He can't see."

……

The news of the crown prince's marriage temporarily quelled the turmoil in the army, and everyone was very satisfied with the marriage.For the old aristocrats, a queen without background and power will not pose a threat to them, but for immigrants, it is very exciting that the royal family has someone to represent them.

Perhaps the only one who was very angry was Croto, who held a gun and questioned the crown prince: "Why, in the end you still listened to Lisko's rhetoric?"

The crown prince smiled softly: "Croto, why do you think he proposed marriage to me?"

"Because he is absurd and uninterested!" Kroto mentioned that he was still angry.

"Lisko is panicking. My support for him has been an exchange of power from the very beginning. When I really want to sacrifice him, I will not have any affection for him. Compared with you and Yan Jingye, this relationship is even more serious. He is cold. He wants to please me and approach me, but he is actually trying to make up for the anxiety in his heart. I don't want my capable officers to be in a state of anxiety all the time, so he wants to place his people by my side. I Just satisfy him."

"If you do this, it will only make this greedy businessman go further."

The crown prince said: "No, I know businessmen best, and businessmen are afraid of death, so they are the most knowledgeable. He understands what is the bottom line that cannot be stepped on."

"Then what about the person you've been looking for?" Crotor's eyes widened in confusion.

You Jing stretched out a hand, rubbed Croto's hair, and said with a smile, "You're still a child, you don't understand."

There seems to be such a hand in my memory, casually touching the top of his head and saying, "Our You Jing is a good boy."

When did he become an annoying adult?

Because it was wartime, everything at the wedding was simple, and the cost of material transportation was too high. The crown prince wore military uniforms at the wedding.As for the wedding ring, out of selfishness, You Jing didn't intend to use the one he bought for Yegor in Psyche, so he chose an old one preserved by the royal family during the war. decent.This pair of rings has been kept by Elector Atropos. When the old man took them out of a black velvet box, the rings were still as bright and clear as the sky after the rain.

"It was a gift from the royal jeweler on His Highness's father's birthday, but he didn't use it in the end."

You Jing held a pair of wedding rings that Qi Zhiwen had never worn before, suddenly not sure, did he just put it on a stranger's finger like this?

He was still meditating freely. Lisko walked in beaming in a flamboyant white dress. People who didn't know thought he was getting married today, and happily saluted the Crown Prince: "You should go and see that one, I swear you'll thank me. If I were a rich merchant, I'd hide him."

He really should inform his future partner in advance, You Jing thought, he doesn't have any expectations for married life, because of some kind of emperor's kindness, he should dispel the other party's expectations as soon as possible.If the other party still harbors some kind of happy fairytale fantasy, it is still too late to cancel the wedding or temporarily change someone else.

So he went, and out of consideration for the dignity of the royal family, all the designers and stylists that could be found temporarily gathered in this room, and You Jing had a hard time seeing his fiancé in the crowd of people, in the mirror reflect his face.

Lisko is right, he is heart-wrenching, like a crystal statue, with a cold and clear outline, and his sick appearance only makes him more isolated from the world, but his long flaxen hair is gentle, empty and lifeless gray There is a certain calming power in the blue eyes.

He stood at the door for a long time, until he was spotted by the crowd and bowed to avoid him one after another. You Jing walked in front of his fiancé along the passage separated by them.

He squatted down, raised one of the opponent's hands, and held the uncontrollable trembling firmly in his hand.

You Jing took off the ring he was wearing on his chest, slowly put it in the opponent's hand, and then gently closed his fingers.

"Try it, see if it suits you."
