MTL - I Like This Dream!-v2 Chapter 85
The world will not stop because of someone's absence.
After Count Anna left with the sinner first, the king discussed other issues with the nobles. Given that Richard II was a very assertive king, most of the discussions ended in the desired outcome of the king. For example, how to deal with the remnants of the rebels. For example, the candidate for the new queen.
"Wait, Your Majesty!" Marquis Samuel stood up in shock, but fell back unsteadily, "My youngest daughter is almost twenty-five years old, and we had a marriage contract when Earl Edward was alive..."
"That was how many years ago." Richard II said magnanimously, "I know that your youngest daughter has a marriage contract with Mrs. Sullivan, but she has not been married for so many years. It is useless to let her waste her time, and it is not shameful to delay it any longer. I will make the decision today and declare this engagement invalid!"
"Count Anna just happened to owe the king an omega!" Ford joked.
The nobles began to make eye contact again, and most of them never thought that such good luck would fall on Marquis Samuel. Ever since he lost his leg and was no longer able to go to the battlefield, the former Scarlet Flame Wolf was in a slump and drank all day long. If his eldest daughter Jane was not still fighting on the border of Thebes, the unstable Stewart family should have faded out of the upper class. Could it be that the king is willing to marry the unmarried omega in order to reuse the Stuart family?
Only a few powerful ministers, such as Prime Minister Roland, knew that it was all because of the prophecy about the red hair and the throne. "Before the next annual ring grows, under the red hair, a new ruler will be born." The usurper with copper-colored hair disappeared without a trace, and the new red-haired queen died of the beast tide. At this juncture, the king is destined to die. Marry the next red-haired queen as soon as possible, so that a new king will be born next year.
In Urburg, the youngest daughter of Marquess Samuel was the most convenient and suitable choice.
"Your Majesty, my daughter is so stubborn that I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to take on the position of queen!" The ignorant warrior evaded.
"That must be because she is not yet married!" Ford said with a smile, "It means that His Majesty married and gave birth to a prince and princess, and she will naturally become a virtuous and competent queen!"
"That's my daughter, I know better than you whether it will be!" Marquis Samuel suppressed his anger and glared at Ford.
Scary, this man's anger is really frightening, if he is still the Red Flame Wolf on the border of Thebes, instead of this potbellied lame drunkard, he will really scare Ford! Ford put on a frightened look, gave a mental pooh, and made a note of the stupid warrior.
"Okay, it's settled." Richard II said impatiently, "Get ready quickly, the wedding will be held as soon as the palace is repaired."
And so it was settled.
Marquis Samuel hugged his stunned little daughter tightly in Urburg's mansion. Not long after, Jane rushed in, and the general who was supposed to stick to Tibes rushed to the teleportation array the moment he received the news. "Dad, why don't you refuse!" she shouted anxiously. And her father, who had the same temperament as her, immediately yelled back: "I tried! Your Majesty insists! What can I do! I..."
Marquis Samuel looked at his little daughter sitting there, with his voice stuck in his throat, regretting his decadence for the first time. If his weight is a little heavier, at least the king will consider his opinion.
"I'll go and tell His Majesty!" Jane wandered around the room anxiously for a few rounds, and was about to run out when her father caught her. "Leaving one's post without authorization is a serious crime!" The Marquis glared at her, "You just added to the chaos by running over!"
"Are you going to watch Eve marry an old man?" Jane exclaimed.
"That's His Majesty the King!"
"He's older than Dad! The last queen was killed by him!"
"Shut up! It's just a rumor!"
"Rumor? Is this rumor true or false?" Jane said angrily, "He is famous... Dad, he may be a good king, but he is definitely not a good husband. It is better for Eve not to marry than to marry give him!"
"That's enough, Dad, sister." The only omega in the room said, "Leave me alone."
Eve stayed in the room all day, the initial shock passed, and her mind started working again. This omega went to the window, meditating, meditating, without saying a word, until her sister walked into the room again.
Jane looked downcast, downcast and wary, and Eve could tell by looking at her that their efforts were going nowhere. Eve smiled comfortingly at her, and Jane felt even more uncomfortable. She hugged her sister and gritted her teeth tightly.
"I'm sorry, Eve..." After saying these words, Jane raised her head suddenly and said eagerly, "Why don't you send you away? Let others pretend that you are marrying the king, and then you can..."
"Then am I going to live as someone else for the rest of my life?" Eve asked calmly.
"Then, then," Jane was stuck for a long time, discouraged, "Is there nothing you can do?"
"I'm actually very happy, Jane." Eve said, "Neither you nor Dad married me happily for the queen's position."
"What are you talking about!" Jane's eyes were red, "What can compare to you? Nothing can compare to your happiness, Eve, I promised my mother to take good care of you, you are our most important family... "
"I know, I know." Eve hugged her sister and patted her on the back like a child, "We take care of each other, as always."
Whether among nobles or commoners, the Stewart family is a rare close family. Marquess Samuel loved his wife very much. After his wife passed away, he did not remarry, and he treated his two daughters equally. They have all kinds of flaws, but they are all wonderful parents, daughters, sisters. Even the most loyal Marquis Samuel would choke on his daughter's marriage (such a great thing as marrying the king!) and the king, which is unbelievable in any noble family.
"Jane," Eve said suddenly, "do you remember the games we used to play when we were young?"
"Which one?" Jane didn't respond for a while.
"The one dressed as a princess." Eve laughed, "I was still clamoring for a tiara, but you stole my mother's bracelet and twisted it into a tiara for me, and was chased and beaten three blocks by my father."
"Oh, that." Jane also laughed, "Yes, you like it..." She smiled a little forcedly at this point, "Now you can at least wear the queen's crown."
They kept this posture silent for a while, and Eve spoke again.
"But I don't want a tiara, or a princess tiara, never," she said. "Do you understand, sister?"
Eve could feel her sister in her arms tense her body after a moment, break free from her arms, and stare blankly at her face. She looked back quietly, but felt relieved to reveal the secret in her heart.
"Are you talking about...?" Jane asked hesitantly, looked at Eve and nodded. She opened her mouth wide and said incoherently: "Are you serious? The only queen in history who succeeded in a political chaos was killed in the end. The king is not the kind of soft-hearted person, and what you want is... this is too, too ..."
"Too crazy?" Eve laughed. "Look at Fort Thunder. What did it look like a few years ago? A few years ago, someone told us that a prosperous city would appear on the border, and I would think that person was crazy."
"Indeed, we've seen a lot of 'crazy' recently." Jane picked up her chin and shook her head subconsciously. Eve could understand that it wasn't rejection, but admiration for her. Jane is a pretty straightforward person, and because of this, she can easily accept many shocking things.
"With me alone, that's just a dream." Eve said, "Will you be on my side, sister?"
"Nonsense!" The flames in General Tibes' eyes ignited again, as if seeing a new challenge. She hugged her sister tightly and said, "Always by your side!"
At this time, Urburg was busy because of another order from the king.
The main city is being quickly repaired by the supernatural beings. The Royal Guards and the Royal Knights are running around, setting up a net to capture the remnants of the rebels. The traffic arteries and teleportation formations from the outskirts of Urburg to the major cities have been heavily guarded since the second day of the Black Beast Rebellion, and they cannot pass without strict inspection.
The rebels who failed to leave that night could only face the ever-shrinking encirclement.
Cherry sprinted in the alley, her lungs were about to explode in the violent panting, and her feet were already weak. The pursuers were not far away, and they were getting closer day by day. Many times, Cherie thought that she would be caught immediately.
She must not be caught, she will not be caught, she is already a seasoned knight. And the younger Adrian ran ahead of her, even if she sacrificed herself, Adrian would not suffer misfortune. Cherry knew that it would be even worse if Omega fell into the hands of the enemy. They escaped with great difficulty, and many people have already died for it. Nicholas... Cherry's vision blurred, she wiped away her tears vigorously, and ordered herself to continue running.
So, even if reality turns hellish overnight, never give up.
The prince became a conspirator who brought alien beasts into the city and framed them. The head of the regiment was arrested on charges, the adjutant died in battle, Nicholas sacrificed himself to save Cherie, and many comrades who managed to survive from the minions of the alien beasts were arrested. Guards seized and executed him on the spot. Cherie didn't know how many other people or, except Adrian, she was lost with others. She sincerely prayed that everyone could escape.
The footsteps of the pursuers were getting closer.
Adrian stopped suddenly, Cherry bumped into him, and realized that there was no way ahead.
"Are we going to die?" Adrian murmured, "I don't want to die..."
Who wants to die? Don't everyone who died that night wanted to live? Cherry bit her lips to get blood, she desperately searched around, suddenly her eyes lit up.
"Look there!" she cried, under her breath. "The window! Let's go in!"
Adrian nodded vigorously, and they grabbed the raised bricks on the wall and turned into the window three times and five times. Are you saved? When Cherry fell to the ground, she heard an exclamation, and saw dozens of people in white robes standing in front of her.
Holy One.
The shadow of despair enveloped Cherie's heart. Her hometown is Alingu, and she knows all too well about this group of horrible monsters. The ones who have always hated the Gale Knights the most, apart from the alpha warriors who hate the other two genders, are the group of guards in robes, and she and Adrian also wear the badges of the Gale Knights!
The shouting and cursing of the pursuers came from the window, and it was only a matter of time before they entered the monastery. Cherry and Adrian, who was about to cry, looked at each other. They still had the last pistol for themselves.
Suddenly something fell on them.
Not weapons, but two sets of white robes. "We mean no harm," said one of the holy ones, "put them on as soon as possible!"
They were still in a daze, but two holy men had already walked over and quickly covered them in white robes, covering them tightly from head to toe. A few saints pulled up the gauze and wiped away the footprints on the window sill, and others hurried out and in, and lifted the statue under the window sill, where it could be illuminated by the light. Then they took their positions familiarly and knelt down, surrounding Adrian and Cherie.
They had been kneeling for less than two minutes when the royal guards arrived.
The leading guard kicked open the gate, and the whole person was rigidly stuck in the door frame. He saw the statue of the **** shrouded in light holyly, the candles all around gave off incense, and Wu Yangyang... No, it was a ghost in a white robe, who was turning around in unison with the noise he made, silently look at him.
When the Holy See was at its most powerful, those who interrupted the collective prayers of the saints would be executed. Even now, they can still do this in Alingu. The leader heard the guard behind him gasp, and took a step back in unison. He swallowed, and said sternly, "What are you afraid of, this is Urburg! We have come to arrest the fugitives under the king's order!"
A holy person stood up from the kneeling people, and he (or she) stood still in front of the leader, with the holy emblem on his chest representing the birth of Alingu shining with silver light.
The leader couldn't help but took a small step back.
"Master Holy One," he slowed down, "We are here to arrest the fugitive, may I ask if you have seen any suspicious people?"
The Holy One made a series of gestures that no one in the royal guard knew what they meant.
Damn Aling ancient saint, the team leader slandered, **** not speaking human words. He had no choice but to apologize with a smile on his face: "Sorry, none of us can understand...Can we go in and search?"
The holy man stopped gesturing, and after a while, a soft voice sounded: "After interrupting our prayer, do you still want to search for your unclean feet to step into the holy man's prayer place?"
The team leader thumped in his heart. Hearing what the tortoise said, the other party was obviously an old-school saint—the old-school plus Alingu was equivalent to a fanatic who would treat purification as a daily activity and had the ability to do it.
"Of course, of course the holy ones will not shelter fugitives!" He laughed a few times and fled in despair.
Not long after the guards left, two people in white robes hurriedly broke free from the white veil. Cherry and Adrian gasped for breath with lingering fear, and looked at these holy men in bewilderment, not knowing what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourds. The leading holy man wearing a holy emblem came over and took off the white gauze, revealing a very young face.
"Good day, knights of the Gale Knights." The brown-eyed girl smiled, "Nice to meet you, I am Esther the Holy One."
