Rig took Manda's hand and walked out of the hall. Outside is a long shaped terrace, and walking down the stone steps is the garden.
Selig led Manda around several bushes and came to a quiet flower bed. There was also an exquisite bench there, but the bench was covered with rainwater and was inconvenient to sit on. He didn't care, just turned around and hugged his lover, and said with some excitement: "My Manda, I'm sorry, I made you sad. I knew those rumors, but I didn't tell you anything except to make you believe me. Really very sorry."
But Manda had a very sweet smile on her face: "No, don't say that. It's because I don't have confidence in myself that I have random thoughts." She thought of the situation just now, and felt a little uneasy: "Am I giving you trouble?" Are you in trouble? You...will you lose your right to inherit the throne because of this?!" She began to get more and more scared as she thought about it.
"Don't worry." Selig kissed her hair gently, "I have never thought about the right to inherit the throne. It's just that the mother's methods are too fierce. My brother is injured now and can easily become the target of her and those people's attacks. , but as long as I perform well enough, those people will look away from my mother, focus on me, and listen to my words. In any case, no one intends to hurt my brother recently. It can be seen that I The method is effective.”
Manda's eyes widened when she heard this: "You mean...you don't want to be the king at all?"
"It doesn't matter whether I take it or not." Selig shrugged. "If my brother takes the responsibility, of course it's best. If he can't, then let me go. At least, I can protect my brother and you."
Manda blushed shyly: "Then...Princess Noga..."
Selig smiled: "That's because you misunderstood. In fact, Stella has someone she likes, and that person is very close to me. Unfortunately, he is a little cold to the princess, so the princess asked me for help.
To be honest, that man is so lonely. He is a good guy. There is such a beautiful and charming girl who likes him. I also hope that he can be happy. "
The blush on Manda's face deepened: "I'm sorry, I was just imagining things and messed everything up..."
"Speaking of this. I really want to scold you." Selig made a serious face. "Why did you rush over like this just now? If you really want to ask me something. Wait until the music stops. Find a chance to dance with me. Is there anything you can't say then? Just ask me like this in front of everyone. . What if I reject you? Then how can you stay in Ito? Just those slanderous rumors can overwhelm you!"
Manda bit her lip. Whispering: "If you really don't want me...then I would rather kill myself..."
"Nonsense!" Selig was startled. It’s scary to think about it. in front of envoys from various countries. And in front of Princess Stella’s brother. When both parties are willing to marry. He shouldn't have said it to death. The marriage partner is either him or his brother. Even if he doesn't want to. We must also take into account the other party's status and the relationship between the two countries. He was struck down by the sadness in Manda's eyes. Only then did he tell the truth. In case he hesitated just now. That's not what it means. Will he lose his lover forever
Selig hugged Manda tightly in fear. He said with a trembling voice: "Promise me. No matter what the situation is, don't despair. You must live. Live with me. For the rest of your life!"
"Well..." Manda hugged him back. I just felt sweetness welling up in my heart. All the sadness and suspicion before. All gone.
Beryl stood behind the bushes. Watching the two people hugging each other from a distance. Poker face. Silently she turned back to the hall. But when I was going up the steps. Someone blocked the way.
Hubert folded his arms and leaned against the stone wall, looking at her with an evil smile: "It's a very touching scene, isn't it? Why don't you seem happy for your sister at all?"
Beryl glanced at him coldly: "Get out of the way!"
"Okay, okay." Hubert shrugged and stepped aside to make way. When she passed in front of him, Leng Fang added: "You suggested that the queen marry Princess Sarah to Noga in order to reduce the burden of your sister to the royal family. Is it the negative impact it will bring, or is it to make the queen change her opinion of you?"
Beryl stopped and stared at him sideways: "This has nothing to do with you!"
"How could it be irrelevant? Madam Lilith has mentioned it to me several times. She hopes that I will get engaged to you."
A trace of anger flashed in Beryl's eyes, but she suppressed it with force: "This is impossible, mother must have made a mistake!"
"Why?" Hubert smiled, "Because my status is not noble enough? Because... I am not a prince?"
Beryl glared at him quickly: "I don't understand what you are talking about!"
"What I said is obvious, isn't it? Dear Beryl, don't pretend to be confused!" Hubert stopped laughing and grabbed her arm, "Compared to me, you are still very immature. You think I can't guess. What do you want to do?! What? Seeing that the eldest prince can no longer inherit the throne, you set your sights on the second prince, even though you know that he is your future brother-in-law? Now that the second prince has chosen his own partner, do you still want it? Targeting the third prince?! Or...are you planning to snatch her husband away from your sister?!"
"I don't know what you are talking about!" Beryl struggled desperately, "Let me go! Who do you think you are? You don't have to worry about my affairs!"
Hubert immediately let go of his hand, but his eyes were still fixed on her: "Your eyes are full of desire and ambition, restrain yourself, don't think too highly of yourself! That will only make you lose what you already have." Something to own!”
Beryl broke away, pushed him hard, picked up her skirt and ran up the stone steps, all the way back to the hall. Hubert managed to hold on to the wall and not fall down the stone steps. He stared at the moss on the edges of his palms and said to himself: "You are too idle, aren't you? You have nothing to worry about, and you actually fell in love with such a troublesome guy!"
"You also know that you are causing trouble? Then why are you following me?" It was his sister who was looking coolly at the sky behind the rose bushes above the stone steps.
Hubert smiled bitterly: "Looking at her, don't you think it's like seeing us back then? In order to achieve the goal, even though we know how difficult it is, we still have to give it a try, no matter what means we use."
"But the problem is... we can see the possibility of success, but what about her? Do you think she can do it?" Bianca looked sarcastic, "The inability to clearly understand the situation proves that she is just ambitious and has no wisdom. She's just a fool. Does she think the king's son is just beef and is left to her to choose? What's even more disgusting is that she treats you as a side dish and doesn't even look at you!"
Hubert laughed dumbly,
After straightening his clothes and putting on a smile again, Feng Zuo said, "It's been a long time since we came out. Let's go back. There are many young heroes waiting for you."
"Isn't it the same for you?" Bianca reached out to hold his right arm and smiled sweetly. "There are many beauties who favor you. Why do you want to ask for trouble for a little careerist? A beautiful woman with ability and ambition. Although she is very attractive, meek and delicate girls are cuter."
Hubert shuddered, looked at his sister strangely, shook his head in amusement, and then took his arm and walked along the corridor towards the hall.
Behind the pillar in the dark place, a man walked out. He silently looked at the retreating figure, his face as dark as water.
"Your Highness, the people in the Nuojia Mission seem to be a little disturbed. Do you want to go back and take a look?" Hebie stood in the shadows, pushing the wheelchair and asked softly.
The man turned his head, and after a while, he got into the wheelchair and made a gentle gesture: "Go back."

Jada stood in a remote corner outside the hall, looking at the subordinates in front of her with a pale face: "What's going on?! How could something go wrong?!"
The subordinate glanced at the person holding the black box next to him in embarrassment. Secretary Preiss hurriedly stepped forward and said: "We have been waiting in the carriage, but just now I accidentally discovered that the lock on the box was just hung up. , not locked. This is impossible, I clearly checked it before departure. You sent someone to find us, I am afraid that the contents in the box have been tampered with, so please come and check it yourself."
Jada stared at him and turned to look at the box. The Weisha man holding the box shook, and held the box in front of him with a pale face. Jada ignored him, tugged on the lock, and found that it was indeed unlocked, but it was not obvious from the outside. He angrily pulled the lock off, opened the box, and revealed the documents and letters inside.
Preiss breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great. The things are still there. There's probably just a problem with the lock." But Jada stared closely at the envelope, picked it up and opened it. Inside was a completely unfamiliar complex. If the national plan is really implemented as planned, Nuojia will not only have to provide human, material and financial support to Weisha, but will even have to sacrifice control of Mengli, and get almost no benefits.
He quickly looked through other documents and maps and found that only the top letter had been dropped, but this was enough to make him furious: "I checked it before departure! Why on earth did this happen?!"
Everyone was astonished. Presi quickly recalled what happened on the road and recounted it in detail before saying: "The only suspicious thing is that we both fell asleep on the road. I woke up once in the middle of the road and he arrived. I just woke up in front of the palace. I remember smelling something..."
"Scent?" Jada narrowed her eyes, "There are sachets in the carriage. I heard they have a soothing effect. Is there something wrong with that?!"
Someone next to me immediately asked a question: "There are them in every carriage. They were bought in a store outside. They are filled with dried flowers. There is nothing wrong with them. My subordinate heard about the lock and has already gone to check it."
Jada frowned: "Even if you are asleep, can anyone really do anything? We almost never stopped along the way, and I have all three keys. How did the thief open the lock? Unless ..." He glanced coldly at the Weisha secretary.
The man shuddered and said hurriedly: "I definitely did not do such a thing! Your Excellency, my hatred for the little prince is so deep, how could I do such a thing that is beneficial to him?"
Jada didn't speak, just stared at the box in his arms. Suddenly, he found something: "What is that?" He touched the area under the keyhole, "Is it water?"
Preiss put his head over and took a look: "Maybe it got wet accidentally."
"The rain has stopped now, and you only left the carriage after the rain stopped, right?" Jada had a hunch. He took the box and covered it, then pointed the keyhole at the carpet and smashed it on the ground a few times. The people around were shocked: "Sir, what are you doing?!"
Jada stopped and moved the box away. The water stains on the carpet were illuminated by the nearby fire, reflecting a few points of light. He stretched out his hand and picked up two or three icing sand, and a familiar name immediately appeared in his mind.
Minte…
He stood up quickly, turned around and left. Everyone behind him looked at each other in confusion. Preiss had no choice but to tell others to protect the box, and then called two guards to follow him.
Jada quickly returned to the hall, looking around, looking for his target in the crowd. When he found that the person he was looking for was in the corridor outside the window, he immediately rushed over.
As he got closer, he clearly heard the girl named Ming Na talking to a strange young man in a very friendly tone: "...It's so suffocating, but it's cooler outside. I'd rather dance here, just like we did last time Like that in the woods.”
The young man smiled and said: "That's not bad, but it's a pity that there is too much water on the ground." He took out his wand and pointed it at the ground, making the rain disappear little by little. Mingna smiled and clapped her hands: "Me too!" She took out The wand was about to cast a spell, but someone grabbed her wrist from behind. She jerked away, and when she turned around, she saw that it was Jada.
Jada stared at Minna's wrist. He remembered that on the way to the palace, he had spoken to Pressey across the carriage. After Pressey shrank back and went back, he reached out to close the window, but just now Pressey said, It wasn't him, he fell asleep immediately. That hand was too slender for a man, more like a woman's hand. The most important thing is that the trim on the sleeve of that hand is exactly the same as the lace on the sleeve of the girl in front of her, but the color is different. He didn't pay attention at the time, but now the more he thinks about it, the more suspicious it becomes!
He said solemnly, "Miss Mingna, I want to talk to you. Can you please come with me?"
Ming Na glanced at the secretary who was following behind him, and her heart skipped a beat, but she quickly calmed down and said with a smile on her face: "Your Excellency, I am not your subject, why do you ask me to come with you? Do I want to be obedient?" She turned to Alex and smiled sweetly: "Shall we go back? I'm a little hungry."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Jada grabbed her arm, "Come with me!"
Ming Na got angry and wanted to throw his hand away, but he held it tightly and couldn't shake it off. She narrowed her eyes and met his face.
