Chapter 1571 Engagement
Half an hour later
Game time PM16:03
Griffin Imperial Capital Broread, third floor of Blood Lion Palace, between the pearls
< br>"Huh..."
He casually pushed open the jade door covered with exquisite reliefs in front of him. The Blood Lion Emperor, who was slightly tired of the boring 'cut scene' just now, suddenly laughed out loud and raised his hand to let the man who was following him stand. After Dany stayed outside, she strode in and said with a smile: "What day is it today? I can actually see the two most dazzling pearls of my Griffin Dynasty between the pearls at the same time."
< br>Leaning by the window, Eliza Logan, who was tilting her head to watch the nobles leaving in an orderly manner, raised her eyebrows. Then she was wearing a long black dress and always had a charming smile on her lips. The second princess complained dissatisfiedly: "Brother, if you see Sister Gaweier happy, just say so. I usually stay here."
"Brother."
< br>On the sofa on the other side of the room, Gaweier Logan stood up and made a skirt-lifting ceremony to Chiwetel. This woman was wearing a flawless and complicated long skirt, and there seemed to be a touch of melancholy flowing between her eyebrows. The princess smiled softly: "Today is a big event for me, Griffin. Even I can't help but want to care about it."
The blood lion who knows very well what Gaweier really cares about The emperor stepped forward slowly, patted his eldest sister's shoulder gently, and then gently pressed her back on the sofa: "If everything goes well, nothing will happen to the Chauvin Empire."
"Really..."
Gaweier did not show an expression of relief, but nodded slightly and said lightly: "That's good."
And Yili Sha stretched her body lazily and While shaking her waist, she walked over slowly, sat opposite her sister and elegantly folded her curved legs: "Are you really sure? Brother, you must know that although the overall national strength of the Chauvin Empire is not Too weak, but mainly in the economy In terms of domain and combat power... Well, at least judging from the investigation report submitted by [Lion Eyes] before, it is really not on the table, not to mention that the feared Farah Ossis is still dead."
< br>"If you follow that side If the negotiations are correct, then nothing will happen to the Chauvin Empire."
Chiwetel glanced at Eliza and said calmly: "Don't scare Gavel on purpose, everything is going according to your plan. ”
Eliza flattened her mouth and said angrily: "Brother, you are just partial. You do everything for Gaweier. If you have good things, you always give them to her first! Think of her first in everything!"
"That's because you will get what you want by yourself, and you don't need me as your brother to worry about it."
Chiwetel smiled, even if he is the blood lion emperor who is feared in front of the world, But when in front of these two sisters, he will relax a little. Of course, this may also be understood as the calm before the storm.
Eliza rolled her eyes, held her chin and looked at Chiwetel provocatively: "What you say is nicer than anyone else. Obviously, brother, you don't understand our dear Gaweier as well as I do. Now, She is... very different from before, otherwise she would not be in this place where there is only conspiracy and intrigue."
"You are overthinking, Elisa."
Gaweier smiled softly, and then turned to look at her royal brother: "So, Duke Valyria has been fooled by his brother, and promised that Mr. Terry will definitely lead the 19th Chapter. We’re holding on to the southern border, right?”
Che Watt frowned, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. He did not immediately answer Gaweier's question, but asked instead: "Gaweier, why do you know such a thing."
"I just said I’ve already said it, brother.”
Elisa patted the velvet cushion in her arms before Gaweier spoke, and said with a smile: "Since Sister Gaweier will appear in the Blood Lion Palace, a place she has always resisted, Of course there is a reason, oh yes, as for why she Why do you know these things? It must be because I have been sending information to her many years ago. Well, all kinds of things."
Chiwetel's brows frowned even more tightly: " Send information? All kinds of things?”
"Is there any problem?"
Eliza blinked and said innocently: "The so-called Griffin royal family is actually the three of us brothers and sisters, right? What if everything is just the two of us? I understand. Sister Gaweier doesn’t know anything. That’s too pitiful. Of course, I don’t think she has read a single word of those things, at least... that was the case until a few months ago.”
Chiwetel was stunned for a moment, and then cast a searching look at Gaweier.
“I haven’t been able to calm down recently, and I want to find something to do.”
Gaweier nodded slightly, directly admitted Eliza’s statement, and spoke to Chivatna calmly. The pair of black eyes that were not angry and intimidating as long as they were not smiling looked at each other: "Those things Eliza sent are quite suitable for passing the time."
Looking at his sister who, although born into the royal family, has always remained gentle and innocent, almost the opposite of Eliza, Chiwetel was silent for a long time before sighing helplessly: "I'm sorry, Gaweier, Arthur ·Bo He’s matter has nothing to do with my brother. If possible, I won’t I want to use his story to make some articles, but..."
"There is nothing wrong with it, everything is just my own decision."
Eliza looked impatient. He waved his hands and fell on the sofa holding the cushions as if they were broken: "If you want to blame it, just blame me. Yes, I brought Gawen who killed Arthur, and I let him go on purpose. In a sense, it’s okay for you to blame his death on me.”
Gaweier shook her head, looking at Elisa with the same three points of doting as before, lightly Said: "I know that Arthur's death has nothing to do with Elisa. As for what happens next...you are doing it for Griffin, right?"
Eliza grinned and gently pushed it away. A strand of hair hanging on her shoulder, her tone was leisurely: "Isn't that right~"
"Eliza, stop talking."
Chiwetel sighed helplessly, and then looked at Gaweier: "You can trust our sister, although her character is so bad that it gives people a headache , but it is still relatively reliable in this kind of thing. "
Gaweier pursed her lips and smiled, indicating that she didn't care about what Elisa had just said, and then picked up the topic again: "I think Duke Valyria should not They would like the regular army to intervene, but the Howard family and the Xinglan family... He should bring it with him, right?"
"Yes, he refused the support of the Seventh Main Battle Corps, but he said that before defeating the vanguard of the Chauvin Empire and marching south, he would let the two families Armed to raid the formation for oneself, the ostensible reason is to Occupy Troon, the capital of the Shavin Empire, more stably and effectively."
Sitting on the sofa in the middle, Chiwetel looked at Gaweier with a somewhat surprised look: "To be honest, although I am not surprised by you. I can think of this, but..."
Eliza raised her hand to cover her small mouth, and finished Chiwetel's words with a smile: "But to use the term from outsiders, sister, you seem to be a little out of touch with your painting style now...well, or maybe it's your personality."
“I don’t understand people from other worlds, and I don’t know what character design style is, but people have to grow up.”
Gaweier calmly poured herself a cup of black tea, and poured cup Adding sugar to the bag, he whispered softly: "By the way, I hope to get engaged to Mr. Fast of the Howard family."
Chiwetel suddenly stiffened and subconsciously widened his eyes: "You said What?"
Eliza fell off the sofa and looked up from the carpet to look at her sister: "Eh?"
"I hope to get engaged to Fast Howard."
Gaweier picked up the black tea and blew it with her eyes lowered, and said calmly: "I know that he has been interested in me since a long time ago, and as a I, one of the most powerful nobles in the Griffin dynasty, if the Howard family wants to go further within three generations, other than the unrealistic method of overthrowing our royal family, the only way is to have those legitimate sons marry me or Eliza. , become a relative of the country."
Eliza, who simply lay on the carpet, blinked and asked in a voice that was almost a scream: "Is that the problem?"
" I need an explanation, Gaweier." The Blood Lion Emperor returned to the expressionless state that made him most comfortable, and asked in a low voice that was almost emotionless: "Why do you suddenly want to marry Fast? Howard? Your crush is not Arthur..."
"Arthur Bohe is dead. I witnessed him die in my arms with my own eyes."
Gaweier put down the teacup in her hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Chiwetel calmly: " He won't come back, will he?"
The latter shook his head and stared at Gaweier with a gloomy and terrifying look: "Don't try to fool your brother, dear sister, of course I will. Knowing that Arthur Bohol is dead and will not come back, But I also know that Fast Howard, who has been coveting you for many years, will never be able to tempt you. Not to mention that attending the same banquet with him will make you feel disgusted. Even if he is an impeccable man, he is not enough to become you. The reason for the decision just now."
Gaweier smiled weakly: "It's just an engagement."
Chiwetel shook his head firmly: "Even if it's just an engagement."
Gaweier sighed and murmured: "We are not engaged now."
Chiwetel frowned and ordered slightly impatiently: "Speak clearly."
" The moon of song, praying to the four days.”
Gaweier turned her head and looked out the window, smiling. Er said: "As far as I know, that is a day that is very popular with couples from other worlds. I think that day is very suitable for getting engaged." He complained: "You just said that you don't understand people from other worlds."
"I just lied to you, Eliza."
Gaweier smiled sweetly at her sister, her beautiful eyes narrowed into two crescent moons: "I always look at you, So I can feel your joys and sorrows, good intentions and lies, but you rarely look at me, so you don’t realize that my sister can actually lie.”
The pair of Eliza and Gaweier are the same. Beautiful eyes suddenly Shrinking, as if meeting for the first time the sister in front of him who has been with him day and night since childhood: "You said...what?"
"Didn't I just say it, Eliza."
Gaweier threw a few sugar cubes into the already sweet and greasy black tea, and said with a smile: "People will grow up, I just grew up a step behind you and my brother."
< br>
Chiwetel, who didn't look as surprised as Eliza, frowned, ignored the in-depth conversation the two sisters had just had, and asked bluntly: "What does the Song of the Moon Praise for Four-Day Engagement mean? ”
“I have to go to the Moon of Songs to pray for four days. Because I don’t want to be anyone’s fiancée, at least not now.”
While stirring the black tea with a delicate silver spoon, Gavel Logan said lightly: “Get engaged to Pharrell Howard. , because his family needs an attitude, an attitude Since the royal family, they can be willing to give up some of their interests and correct their attitudes."
Chiwetel nodded solemnly: "Continue."
"Even if they are just private soldiers. The private soldiers under the Howard family are also enough Strong. If they really cooperate with the 19th Chapter, the 'millstone' used to consume the power of the nobles will easily be broken. If Chauvin cannot support it, the Dreamland Theocracy will not go to war. This is a Very serious uncertainties.”
Gaweier took a sip of the overly sweet black tea and analyzed calmly: "So I think they should not be allowed to go south. If we promise a marriage, smart old Howard will definitely show sincerity and reciprocate. For example... not only will they not go to 'support' the 19th Chapter, they will also prevent people from the Star Blue family from getting a share of the spoils, and then let most of the Valyrian family's spoils be turned over to the royal family."
< br>Chiwetel frowned: "Isn't this statement a bit too roundabout?"
Gaweier shook her head and smiled: "The nature of aristocrats is to beat around the bush, they always like to think about it. Many people want dignity as well as benefits, want to be clean and prosperous, so in the face of greater temptation, they will go to the extreme in superficiality when giving up the immediate benefits, and what we need , It’s just their superficial skills.”
Chiwetel pondered for a few seconds and then asked: “So, what is your purpose?”
Gaweier gave it without thinking. She answered in a gentle and soft voice: "Let the millstone run as smoothly as possible, and in the process separate the interests of the Howard family from other nobles, and finally... after all the noble forces were sent to the final Play a leading role in the fierce battle on the front line.”
"Why do you think the Howard family would do this?"
At this time, Eliza suddenly interrupted and asked.
Gaweier smiled and raised her glass to Eliza: "Because this is also part of the statement. Of course they can refuse to take the lead or even refuse to go to the front line, but the emperor brother also has a reason to do so. Withdraw the previous verbal promise of 'engagement'."
"Do you think this plan will not be suspected?"
"If everything goes according to Eliza, you had a relationship with Chauvin and Dreamland. The plans of the heads of the two delegations are in progress. Soon, the Dreamland Theocracy will send troops south, and that country is much stronger than the Chauvin Empire. If a marriage is proposed at that time, the Howard family will only think that it is a wooing, and will not Have any doubts”
"What about in the end?"
"In the end?"
"I mean, what if we win? The Howard family will become a member of the winning camp."
"Of course it is."
"Then you and that Fast..."
"The Moon of Song prays for four days. If the war is still going on by then, the engagement will naturally be postponed."
"What I mean is——"
" Other than that, I think there are only two endings. If you fail, there will be nothing. That’s fine. As for Eliza, you said, if we win..."
"What?"
"Since we win, then the Howard family who is qualified to enjoy the victory with us will also No longer qualified to enjoy victory with us.”
