Chapter 1275 The Night of Crying
At night, crying, in the garden near the palace, Alice sat on the grass and cried alone.
"Father, why did you do this? Am I not your daughter? Why do you have the idea of marrying me to that person?" Tears filled her eyes, and they kept crying. At this moment, Ai Li Si felt so lonely and this palace was so cold.
The night wind was blowing slowly, and the only moonlight in the sky was shining on the face of the seventeenth generation. The thoughts of this day did not allow him to think clearly, but instead fell into a dilemma. Athena was angry. Although she had not made a formal decision, the thoughts in her heart undoubtedly caused great harm to her wife. I just lost my son, and now I have to send my daughter away from me. As a mother, how can I not feel heartbroken? Seventeenth did not dare to go back to the room to face her, even though it was late at night, he would rather walk more in the garden.
The sound of crying reached his ears. Seventeenth Century looked for the sound and looked at the obscured figure in the flower bed: "Who is it?"
The crying stopped, and Alice stood up from the flower bed.
"Alice. You..."
Alice wiped away her tears and ran away as fast as she could. She had never wanted to escape as much as she does now, and she had never wanted to see him so much. to his father.
"Alice, Alice..." Seventeenth Generation called twice, but couldn't call his daughter back, and his heart moved: "Ah~! Could it be that...does she already know? "
The figure of his daughter disappeared from his eyes, and Seventeenth Life was heartbroken: "Am I wrong? Ah! Am I too cruel? For a moment, he only felt that his heart was so painful and regretful.
The galloping pace was a vent that she didn't want to stop, and the tears she wiped away flowed down again. Alice didn't want to stop, she didn't want to stop, she wanted the wind blowing by her ears to take away the pain in her heart, but instead What came was emotions that could no longer be suppressed. Finally she knelt down on the ground and cried loudly. She cried so sadly and sadly.
“Ah, princess!”
The cry attracted the guards in the palace: “Princess, what’s wrong with you?”
Alice only remembered crying and just wanted to She was crying. At this time, nothing could help her vent the pain in her heart more than crying.
Hal walked to Alice and squatted down: "Princess, what happened, why does it make you so sad?"
Alice didn't answer and didn't want to pay attention.
Hal waved away the subordinates around him, supported Alice and said: "Princess, it's cold outside, and it's cold underground. Let me help you up. If there's anything you want, let me tell your majesty to come over."< br>
"No." Alice didn't want to get up, but stopped him: "Let me cry, I just want to cry for a while."
Hal let go of his hand and stepped aside .
After a long time, Alice was tired from crying and her voice gradually became quieter. When she turned around, she found that Hal was still beside her: "Why are you still here?"
"I'm worried about the princess," Hal said.
"What are you worried about?" Alice lowered her head: "I'm fine."
"The princess doesn't look like she's fine." Hal walked to the side and knelt down and asked, "Princess, I am guarding the palace. I have stayed in the palace for so many years. Today is the first time I see the princess. The Lord cried so sadly."
"I..."
Hal said: "Princess, although I am just a guard, if the princess doesn't mind, there is nothing sad about it. Tell me, I would be a great person to talk to.”
Alice looked at him with tears in her eyes and lowered her head: "I...I feel betrayed. My father wants to marry me to the king of the Gripen Kingdom."
Hal sat Next to him, he was surprised: "Is that the man with four scars on his eyes who looks to be in his forties? I saw him today." Alice nodded.
“It’s really unimaginable that His Majesty would make such a decision. But there must be a reason for Your Majesty to do this.”
“Reason? Haha, what’s the matter? I can't think of any ridiculous reason for betraying my own daughter!" Alice smiled bitterly and sadly.
Hal shook his head: "I have been in the palace for so many years, and I have seen every bit of your majesty's love for the princess. Your majesty is by no means a heartless person. As a father, I don't think he would ever sacrifice his daughter's happiness. Reason. But..."
"But what?"
"But as a father, I have such a reason."
" What did you say!" Hearing this, Alice was angry and angry!
“I said that as the king of a country, Your Majesty has reasons to sacrifice the happiness of his children.” Hal said without hesitation and without flinching: “Maybe such words should not come from my mouth, but I I’ve seen you grow up as a princess since I was a child, and some things I don’t understand It’s hard to vomit. Because Your Highness Wilonka was designated as the Crown Prince early, Princess, you have been living a carefree life. You don’t know how hard it is to be a king. Does the Princess really think that it is so easy for a king of a superpower? What has sustained this country? Strong and stable? I can say that no parent who truly loves their children is willing to let their children lose their happiness and be harmed. Because of this, I can better understand the pain that His Majesty felt when he married the princess to the King of Gripen. The princess's father is also the monarch of this country, and he is the monarch first, and then the father. His responsibility is not like that of ordinary parents. He only needs to take care of his family and children. He must first take care of the country and his children. People.”
Hal continued: "I don't know why His Majesty the King had the idea of marrying a princess, but His Majesty had such an idea, and he must have made the last resort choice for the best interests of the country. If he cannot put the interests of the country into consideration, Come first, putting your own feelings and family above the country Above, are we protecting His Majesty’s private thoughts, or are we fighting to the death for the country?”
The sonorous words speak directly to Alice. Heart-opening, she had never heard such words before, and she had never thought about such truth. She was confused and stunned. She didn't know whether this statement was correct, but it undoubtedly shook her heart.
Haer said: "In this country, hundreds of millions of civilians serve the royal family and support this country. We ordinary citizens use our lives to defend your majesty's royal power. Your majesty shoulders the responsibility of The expectations of the people of the country, and what he has in mind are the interests of the entire country. If he fails to live up to these expectations and betrays the responsibility of the king, I will only say one sentence, what qualifications does such a king deserve my loyalty?"
Although Alice was shocked by Hal's words, she still could not accept this reality: "In order to take good care of the country and its people, should she sacrifice her daughter? Why can't she have the best of both worlds? Father, he can have more A good choice will make the country better even if it doesn't sacrifice me. In short, I don't agree with this concept. How can you take care of the country if you can't even take care of your family..." As he spoke, he broke down in tears again. .
"Is there a better choice? The best of both worlds." Hal looked at the grass in front of him and smiled bitterly: "If there were really good choices in the world, there wouldn't be so much helplessness. If Everything in the world has the best of both worlds. There will be so many life and death and sad people. There are many things that are not better. All you can do is to strive for the best outcome in the worst. In short, I believe that it is inevitable for His Majesty to make this decision. It’s for the good of the empire, I believe him.”
"You..."
"Princess!" Hal raised his voice and said to her: "After Her Royal Highness Veronka was killed, rumors about the possible appointment of Her Royal Highness as the Crown Prince have spread in the palace. Your Highness, the Princess, should understand that the teachings given by the monarch of a country to ordinary princes and princesses are completely different from the training of future successors of the country. Princes and princesses can be worry-free. You can be a noble royal family without worries, but what the crown prince has to face is the ruthlessness and cruelty of reality. I have seen this many times in the palace. I think your majesty has already trained the princess as a future crown prince. One day, this is the reality that a monarch should bear."
Alice's body swayed and she almost fell down.
Hal calmed down, stood up again and said: "Princess, the ground is cold, I will send you back to think about it slowly."
Alice was stunned, speechless, as if she had lost her mind. As if he had lost his soul, he left under the escort of the guards.
Emotion and rationality, family affection and interests, different people are destined to make different decisions. When you are in this position, accepting the support of all people and enjoying an unparalleled luxurious life, you have decided that something is about to be lost.
In the room, Seventeenth Generation was in a lot of difficulties, but he never wavered in cultivating the country's future successors. No matter who it is, one of the children must take on this responsibility, and for the remaining years of his life it is no time to delay.
"Alice is the most suitable candidate. In order for her to be supported in the future, she is destined to make sacrifices." The seventeenth generation's confused eyes became clear, and he had made up his mind: "For her to gain support in the future, she must make sacrifices." Let my daughter grow up faster, and in order to let her get rid of her past innocence, It's time for her to face the cruelty of the king!" He narrowed his eyes, thinking about the future: "From the letter, it seems that the 'Creation Kingship' dominates the Holy Griffin. country, they are determined to provoke a war between saints and demons, or even a world war. In the future It will inevitably become a threat to the world. Threats represent dangers, and dangers represent opportunities. The letter I got is an opportunity. How can I not seize such an opportunity, whether it is for the future of Alice or the future of the empire? This is an opportunity not to be missed. If you want to marry, Alice must get married. What she has gained through sacrifice is great. In the future, her throne will be stable because of it, and she will not be shaken by powerful ministers like St. Bikoya. She is gone, alas~!”
A sigh, a sound of sadness. The love once was exchanged for the ruthlessness of this moment. Whose sorrow is it to make such a decision...
