Refusing Love As A Queen

Chapter 11: Prince Arthur

Views:

After reading Heinrich's letter, Adele frowned.

After getting the warning from Archbishop Rodriguez, Adele did not do nothing. While she continued to reuse Dalton, the spies of the Heinrich family had already disguised themselves as blacksmiths, grooms... and spread like shadows in all the old towns. The favorite haunt of the sect of God.

Except for the brown bear on the hunting ground today, there is no other signal.

But the dangerous factor has spread quietly in the air.

"Dalton appears to want reform of the military police."

Mrs. Kelly folded the towels and put them aside, while her husband took care of the royal family's daily meals. Some information is that her husband mixed vegetables and fruits and sent them to her, and then sent them to the queen.

If possible, Adele certainly hopes that she can have a spy network like the Heinrich family. But she is very clear that it is not the time yet, and even though her dear mentor is now serving her again, this service is based on the port agreement and the license of the armed civilian ship...

There may be some guilt mixed in, but that guilt is nothing more than that.

As is the case at court, feeling is one thing and action is another.

"The imperial meeting will not agree."

Adele held the secret letter to the candle and watched the flames consume it.

During this period of time, the government was not peaceful. The nobles from ancient families tried their best to resist all of Dalton's actions, and Dalton wooed other minor nobles and upstarts.

The queen moved cautiously in the contest between the two parties. She wanted to show her reliance on Dalton and let the nobles feel that she did not hold a grudge against them.

"It's rumored..." Madam Kelly paused, carefully observing the Queen's expression, "Your relationship with Dalton is not that simple, and you intend to make him your husband."

In fact, the rumors were not as benign as Kelly relayed.

As a queen, once Adele has excessive contact with any man, it means that there will be countless gossips. Think about it, a beautiful queen and a young general. The general bravely rescued the queen on the night of mutiny. Isn't it normal for her to fall in love with him

Some people have even asserted convincingly in the tavern that when the Queen was in the Day Palace, she must have rewarded her general on the bed...well...in a way that everyone understands.

These words were so obscene that Lady Kelly forbade anyone to pass them to the Queen's ears.

"Oh, you said that." Adele said casually, "I asked Heinrich to send someone to spread the word. Judging by your expression, he seems to have done a good job."

"You?!" Mrs. Kelly's eyes widened in astonishment, and she soon showed an angry expression, "How can you do this... how can you make fun of your own reputation."

"Kelly, why do you think Dalton didn't mention Ambassador Root for three whole days?" Adele unfolded the map and looked down.

"Because of you."

Mrs. Kelly said without thinking.

"I am very grateful that you think so highly of my charm." The queen raised her head, showing a somewhat subtle expression, "Maybe a little bit, but it is not easy to impress an ambitious general, especially one like Dalton Like—he's a commoner."

Like other countries, there is an insurmountable gulf between nobles and commoners.

A well-fed nobleman can easily become a bishop or a judge after graduating from a seminary, but a civilian youth with outstanding grades can only act as a clerk for the former.

Dalton's risk-taking and gambling instincts didn't come out of thin air either.

He knew that he was a commoner, and only at the risk of life and death could he tear something out of the noble's fangs. This defines his character—

He will hold fast to everything he has snatched.

Mrs. Kelly understood the Queen's meaning: "So you planned to marry the Root Empire from the very beginning?"

"Roland needs an ally."

Having said that, the queen simply got up.

She stretched out her hand to open the curtains, bathing herself in the dim yellow light, and the crown on her hair shone with dazzling light. In the light, the queen's profile looks like a statue cast from brass, showing the fortitude and coldness that the world thinks women rarely have.

"Of course I have beauty, but more important than that is..."

She turned around, and her voice seemed to echo under the dome of the temple.

"I am the queen, and I am Roland."

……………

The wheels of the carriage rolled over the road, and the midsummer dust mixed with the undispelled bloody smell rose in the air.

Although the rebellion at the end of July came to an end with the return of the Queen to the summer palace, during the rebellion, many people took the opportunity to make trouble, robbing, stealing, assassinating... In short, blood can still be seen on the side of the street.

"It ended rather quickly."

The curtain of the car was lifted, revealing a handsome face with classic beauty.

He is the real ambassador sent by the Root Empire to discuss marriage affairs, Emperor Root's younger brother, Prince Arthur. Prince Arthur has blond curly hair that is brighter than the sun, a high nose bridge, and sea blue eyes. Anyone who sees him will boast that he is handsome.

It's a pity that, compared with his young and promising elder brother, Prince Arthur is just a pompous kid with only appearance.

Everyone knows that Prince Arthur of the Root Empire knows nothing about military affairs, politics, or economics. He liked gorgeous costumes and was madly obsessed with art. In his castle, artists were always regarded as honored guests. And people know... artists, there are always some abnormal behaviors and nerves.

Maybe it's because of too much time with artists, Prince Arthur also seems a little crazy.

"It's a pity." The accompanying official sighed, "It would be better if it was later."

When the news of the rebellion in the Roland Empire reached the Root Empire, their emperor jumped up with joy, and immediately sent spies to observe the situation of the Roland rebellion. Hearing that the two sides were deadlocked, the emperor immediately sent envoys to discuss marriage proposals with Queen Roland.

Originally, the most powerful situation for them was that Queen Roland agreed to His Majesty's marriage proposal, and the Root Empire sent troops to assist the Queen in quelling the rebellion, and successfully took control of the Roland Empire.

but…

Hell, who would have thought that Queen Roland would quell the riot so quickly.

"It seems that Brother Wang's plan is not so easy to realize." Prince Arthur said with a smile, but his eyes looked a little gloomy.

The accompanying officer sitting opposite him dared not speak.

As the prince's confidant, he knows all too well what kind of master he is loyal to-the young prince's debauched skin hides... a demonic soul.

Prince Arthur's pale fingers tapped on the glass of the car window, making a strange melodic sound.

His coldness came and went quickly.

Soon he laughed again, with blond hair and blue face, handsome as an angel: "Speaking of which, my dear brother Wang asked me to do another thing."

It is rumored that Adele Roland has a beauty that can captivate all living beings.

However, Emperor Lute obviously didn't believe this much... You know, as long as the princesses today are not blind and have broken legs, even if they are extremely ugly, they can be called "beautiful and pleasant". There was once a poor king who cursed the court painters and envoys deeply as soon as he saw his fiancée.

For this reason, he specially asked his younger brother to paint for the queen himself so that he could teach him to look at it.

"Maybe the rumors are true."

said the escort.

"Then I really want to envy Brother Wang."

Prince Arthur said disapprovingly.

While speaking, the carriage arrived at the place where the two sides met.
