After the Legend Chapter 190: Struggle and grow
Beryl pulled the brim of her cloak down a bit, intending to cover her face, but it didn't make sense. There were not many pedestrians around, and it was night, not to mention that she was on a remote street. /
I hurriedly gave her coachman a few words, and she trotted into an alley, looking left and right for no one, and then knocked gently on the door of a small house in the alley nine times regularly, and the door opened. She flashed in.
It was dark in the room, she frowned: "Why don't you turn on the lights?"
A flash of fire ignited in the dark. The fat-headed and big-eared middle-aged man put the oil lamp he had just lit on the table and rubbed his hands: "I'm afraid others will be suspicious..."
"It's suspicious if you don't light the lights at night." Beryl looked at the simple wooden furniture around her with disgust, hesitated for a moment, and decided not to sit down. She raised her head and stared at the man: "What's the matter? Today you only said that the eldest prince is back, the appointment was canceled, and you didn't make it clear. Is this true? When did His Highness come back?!"
The man shrank his neck: "Of course it's true. Many people have seen it. In the evening, the eldest prince rode back to the gate of the palace. Didn't I say it? There was a Miss Xiao... Kado was also present, Isn't she your cousin? You didn't ask her?"
"It's my cousin." Beryl corrected him, "She didn't mention it at all, it's too strange, if she really sent His Highness back, why didn't she tell me?!" She felt dissatisfied, In Mayton, this cousin ignored her. How dare you hide such an important matter from her now!
She stared at the man fiercely: "Say! How is Your Highness now?! Are you seriously injured? Are you healed?
"It's so far away that my men can't see it clearly." The man swallowed. He said carefully, "I only saw someone riding a horse with him from a distance, supporting him, and pulling the reins for him... After he got off the horse, he couldn't even stand up. Royal Guard Perdicat I called a few people to help him go, and I heard that his face was very bad."
Berry's face changed: "The injury has worsened?!" Ming Na clearly said that he can be cured!
"It is reported that the eldest prince was attacked and injured on the way back, so he temporarily changed his plan and returned in secret. Maybe, it was the injury..."
"Damn!" Beryl cursed inwardly. He glanced sharply at the man. "They did it. Right?!"
"Well..." The man smiled. "You know. Besides them. Who else?"
Beryl gritted her teeth. after awhile. Only then did he ask, "What's the matter with the several noble members? I heard that someone in the parliament raised the issue of changing the crown prince's land again today. Have you found out the relationship between the person who proposed the land and the queen's land?"
"Someone has been sent to watch. There will be news in two days at the most."
"Hurry up! We're running out of time. Remember not to let someone knock nine times outside the door. I hurriedly walked over to open it. Only to find the second prince Selig got in. I was shocked. : "Why did you come out? Now it was late! "
Selig patted the ashes on his body. Nodding to Beryl: "You're here too? I missed the appointment today. I'm sorry."
Beryl coughed a little unnaturally: "No. It's nothing... I heard that His Highness has returned, I wonder how he is now?"
"I'm here to inform you." Selig found a chair at random and sat down, glancing at the man. The man who was still pouring water attentively was very eye-catching. He left the sentence "I'll go outside and stare" and ran away, closing the door tightly.
Selig said to Beryl: "Brother did come back, arrived in the evening, Minna, Alex from Mandheling's house, and brother's guard Tour. I escorted him back in secret, because it is to be kept secret, so the news has not spread yet. Don't disclose it to others, I am afraid that things will change badly."
Beryl's heart tightened: "Is he seriously injured? I heard that he was injured again, how is it now?!"
"Is this... okay? It shouldn't be serious." Selig was a little hesitant. He didn't actually see his brother's wound. Except for a few court physicians and his brother's valet, his father forbade anyone to enter his brother's room. But he saw the blood-stained clothes that the servants took out, as well as the basin full of blood. All the signs showed that the elder brother was seriously injured, and the eldest prince in the palace was so weak that he was killed by several people. With the help of the gossip and the rumors that he was attacked several times on the way, he had to believe that his brother, who had always been friendly and kind to him, might have been seriously injured.
How could he have the heart to tell the girl in front of him all this? Although he had a bad impression of her in the past, but after seeing her running around for her brother's storage space recently, she was so tired that he lost weight. He finally realized her sincerity. Get her up. If she knew that her brother was seriously injured, she must be very sad, right?
Beryl was not so easily deceived by him: "Really? I heard that he needs someone to help him walk, and many people have seen it. You don't have to lie to me, what I need is the truth! Otherwise We simply can't decide what to do."
Selig sighed: "Okay, I'll tell the truth." He repeated what he had inquired about from the guards and doctors, and added: "Father does not allow us to see brother now, So I can only inquire from others. But a servant told me that the scar on my brother's face has faded, and Miss Minna's medicine should be effective, but..." He paused, and continued with some difficulty, " It's just that he was attacked and injured again, so..." Thinking of the person behind the most likely attack, he only felt uncomfortable
Beryl listened in a daze, and her eyes suddenly turned red: "So...his legs are really possible...will be disabled?" Then what is she working hard for these days? !
"No way!" Seliger jumped to his feet in denial. "Brother will be all right. This is Ito, not Maiton! There are so many good doctors in the palace. Father is going to invite potions masters again. They are a hundred times worse than Miss Minna! Brother will get better. land!”
"Are you sure he will really get better? Instead of being half healed, he suddenly encounters an accident and then gets hurt even more?!" Beryl said coldly, with a hint of sarcasm. "I'd rather he's still in Meyton because it's much safer there!"
Selig's face turned pale, and he lowered his head: "I'm sorry...I persuaded my mother many times, but..." He remembered the appearance of his father yelling at his mother two hours ago, and he couldn't help but fight A cold war. Father Wang has never been so rude. It can be seen that this time it is really heartbreaking. He also disapproved of his mother's actions, but he was sad for her after seeing her sad and crying after being scolded by his father and returning to the palace.
What should he do? He didn't want to be a king, he just wanted to live freely, but his mother wanted to put him on the throne, no matter how much he didn't want to. She couldn't even listen. There have been several rumors in the palace that the queen mother bought her brother's valet for poisoning. The father and the king once ordered a thorough investigation, but each time it proved to be groundless, but the mother became even more paranoid.
He also understands his mother's concerns. Things have come to this point today. The two forces can no longer be reconciled. The older brother is kind, but he cannot control those who support his succession. If the elder brother becomes king, he and his mother will die. Perhaps even Sarah and Gardmond were not spared. But if it is the mother and queen who wins, then the death will be the elder brother. He also couldn't stop his mother and supporters from hurting his brother.
No matter what, it's not what he wants. What should he do?
Selig buried his head in pain, flashing in his mind the blood-stained clothes in the hands of his brother's attendant, and the silent tears of his mother sitting in front of the dressing table, only to feel as if his heart was being pulled by something , but could not break free.
Beryl looked at his sudden tears and didn't know how to react. Shouldn't he jump up and refute her? as usual. She whispered "Hello", and seeing that he was still bowing his head, she stretched out her hand uncomfortably and patted him on the shoulder a few times, which was considered comfort.
After a long time, Selig took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears, raised his head and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, please forgive me."
Beryl withdrew her hand slightly stiffly: "No...nothing...cough...what are you going to do now?" Seeing Selig's silence, she tried to persuade him: "Actually...the queen is because she has You can only do this when you are here, and if you don't mind, you can consider traveling abroad for a while..."
"Then it will be Gardmond who is pushed out." Selig flatly rejected the proposal.
Berry's face turned pale: "I only
"I understand." Selig smiled, "Actually... Gardmond once said something, naive, but quite reasonable. He said: We must listen to our mother, not only Because she is our mother, and because we speak the language, no one will listen, because in the eyes of those nobles, we are just children."
Beryl frowned: "Gardmon is only twelve years old. He is indeed a child, but you are no longer a child."
"It's not like that." Selig took a deep breath, "He just reminded me that I used to think about living a free life and didn't care about politics, and my father always told me Just do what I want to do, so I try to avoid it as much as I can, but the truth is, if I continue to let myself go, it could end up hurting my loved ones. I can't watch it get to that point .Even for my family, I have to… try to stop people from thinking of me as a child.”
Beryl was a little nervous: "You... what do you want to do?"
"Let others listen to me," Selig replied. "There's no way to escape. No matter who wins, I have to protect my loved ones. I finally figure it out now." He smiled Then thanked Beryl: "Thank you for being with me just now, I feel so good Doan: "You... what are you going to do? You don't want to grab the crown prince from your brother, do you? ! "
Selig smiled and changed the subject: "It's very late, I have to go back. Now my father won't let anyone visit my brother, in a few days, I will try to convince them to let you see him. Yes. Say hello to Manda for me, and apologies by the way, I may not have time to meet her recently, please forgive me, and if she gets angry, treat the big doll I gave her as me and beat it hard A few punches." He took out a small velvet bag from his breast pocket: "This is a small gift for Manda to apologize, please pass it to her for me."
Beryl squinted her eyes, and her tone became cold again: "Tell her this kind of thing yourself. She's always making trouble recently, and I don't want to talk to her!"
Selig's tone softened: "Dear sister~IndoMTL.com~ Please do me a favor. My mother has been watching closely recently. If she knows that I have met Manda again, Manda will meet in the future. You've suffered a lot." He shoved the cloth bag under Beryl's hands and looked at her expectantly.
Beryl glanced at the cloth bag in her hand, with a half-smiling smile: "You dare not see Manda for fear of her suffering, but you dare to come to see me?"
Serig scratched his head: "Aren't you the same as Manda..." Manda would be his wife in the future, and he really wanted her to be loved by his mother, if not, at least not disgusted, and Beryl Marrying her brother is not something he should worry about. She is naive and stupid, thinking that you only need to talk about love. I came to meet with you to discuss the eldest prince, she is still jealous! I don't know how much you love her, but if you're really going to fight for that position, you'd better think carefully about whether a girl like Manda is fit to be the queen of a country! "
She walks away, stunned. She didn't quite understand what decision Selig made just now, but the current situation was not good. Hyatt could be said to have an absolute disadvantage. Maybe she should think about what she should do next.
At the same time, she also feels that the world is really unfair, and she is a hundred times better than Manda! How can the ignorant Manda get such deep love as Selig? The small bag should contain a necklace. The thing the prince sent should be very expensive, right? And what about her? Hyatt would never do such a thing to please her.
Seeing Beryl away, Serig's shoulders slumped, but he regained his spirits quickly.
Maybe the road ahead is difficult, but he will work hard for all his relatives and for his beloved Manda!
