Chapter 291 I like a girl like her

  The hall is magnificent, but under the deterrence of these "guards" with spears, there is a sense of darkness and gloom before the storm.

  The king held the wine glass tightly, strands of haze flashed in his deep eye sockets.

   After sorting out the civil war, is there going to be a coup now?

  Who leads?

  The results seem somewhat obvious.

  He looked at Irene who was still smiling: "Do you know what you are doing?"

   "Of course." Irene said logically, "I want to rejuvenate this country."

"You know, these days everyone is saying that our current king is not a good king. Think what we've been through for the last two years - internal wars due to mismanagement, economic crisis in Catalena , People are living in dire straits everywhere on the Rhineland, and the whole country is in chaos."

   "Now we're finally done with this mess, but it wasn't done by you."

   "His Royal Highness Charlotte is our savior. She is a child favored by the gods and the savior of the Rhinelanders. When she appeared, we were truly freed from all difficulties."

   "Now, we're going to tear down a leader who stood up and did nothing, and put on the throne someone who can lead us back to glory."

  The king sneered.

  How could she not know what her daughter looked like.

  These are just excuses, what they want to do may be literal, but the final crown of power will definitely not be in the hands of Charlotte.

  The hand holding the wine glass tightened slightly, the king took a deep breath, and began to think with a mind that had never been so agile in his life, how to ensure that his family would not lose the crown.

  In fact, there is indeed a way, but when he thinks of this last resort, he wants to insult the former founding king.

   There are secret guards in the palace, and they are extremely powerful, but the nature of their work is somewhat special.

  They are not allowed to participate in any political events, the only task is to protect the safety of the royal family.

   And the internal struggle for royal power will not make them go to war.

   This is the rule set by the original founding king, because the existence of guarding the palace is his best brother family. He predicted that there will inevitably be competition due to the alternation of power, and those who participate in the competition will definitely pay the price in blood.

  He didn't want his brothers and descendants to fall into misery, so he made this rule, and his good brother also agreed with it very much, and asked the descendants to strictly abide by it.

  So, when the guards who did not belong to the palace entered the palace, they did not show up, because these people came in in the name of the little princess.

  If you want them to make a move, you can only let Charlotte deny their interest.

   But, can it be successful?

  The king looked at the smug expression on Irene's face, and thought of the time when Charlotte had disappeared, and felt that she must have something in Karan's hands, so she had to become their puppet.

  —What about puppets!

  The king turned his head and looked at Charlotte who was still a little confused about the current situation: "Charlotte, my daughter, tell me, this is not your idea!"

   "Have you been coerced by them, don't be afraid, I am here, I, and everyone, will protect you."

   "Tell me! It's not what you think!"

  His voice gradually grew louder and louder, finally breaking the blank in Charlotte's mind.

  Looking around, she probably understood why Erin said that she should be obedient tonight.

"I"

  Looking at the hope in her father's eyes, she realized that her choice now may bring two possibilities to this country.

If she chooses no, then she may still be able to continue being that naive little princess, and this kingdom will still belong to her family; and if she chooses yes, it is her own idea, then she will be the one who wears the crown. Own.

From the point of view of ordinary people, the former allows her to continue to evade the burden of responsibility, enjoy life, do what she likes, without having to bear so much pressure; the latter, she can hold the authority envied by everyone in the world , although the authority may not be complete, it still belongs to the top position in the world, and there are all kinds of prosperity and wealth.

  However, choosing from Charlotte's own direction, it seems that she can only choose the first one.

  Because prosperity and wealth are not her pursuit, she doesn't have any thoughts about power. She just wants to be herself and doesn't want to meddle in other people's affairs.

  With pursed lips, she opened her mouth slightly and was about to speak, but the king was impatient with her long silence.

  The king stepped forward, pressed her shoulders, and his eyes were a little bloodshot with anger: "Charlotte, you didn't do this, tell me! Speak out! You are not the leader!"

   "Speak out quickly, as long as you say no, they will definitely not be able to continue to threaten you! They will all die here! I will help you settle the follow-up matter!"

   "Say it! Say it!"

"I"

   "Yeah, we're all going to die." This sentence was said by Irene, and the word "we" was repeated emphatically.

  The urgent voice surrounded her ears, and the vision that penetrated into the bone marrow pierced her body like a needle. Charlotte suddenly felt dizzy and confused.

  At that moment just now, she was indeed about to tell the truth of the matter honestly, but at that moment, Irene's smile made her feel like falling into an ice cellar.

  She doesn't know whether the "we" the other party refers to includes herself, but she is sure that another person whose shadow she can't find at present will definitely be implicated.

  So her originally firm idea began to waver, hesitate, and hesitate.

  At this time, she finally understood that her choice represented not only the subsequent development of the kingdom, but also the future of herself and the people she cared about.

  For a moment, Charlotte wanted to laugh.

  She never realized that her words would become so important at a certain moment.

  A choice not only allowed her to choose the ownership of a huge kingdom, but she even cared but didn't care much about the life and death of her people, as well as her own future.

  She always feels that she is a little transparent, and she looks the same everywhere. Although she will not be dismissed, she will not be taken seriously either.

   It is the first time that everyone has erected him now.

   After a short funny, she still had to fall into the dilemma of choice, so she started to panic again.

  Aren’t all people greedy? Why can’t I be greedy and let them have both? Why should this choice be made by me? Why...became like this?

  The girl looked around, trying to find the person who had provided her courage all along.

  Luckily, she found it, unfortunately, he seemed to be on the other side of the choice.

  Looking through the crowd, Charlotte saw the special "sword-wielding guard" hidden among the guards.

  Looking at each other, she hoped to capture some information from the other party's line of sight, and give her a way to get the best of both worlds.

   Unfortunately, Lynn didn't respond to her.

  The eyes of the two collided with each other for a moment and then passed by. Immediately, he began to command the guards, controlling one after another who did not belong to their camp.

   "tick-"

  Tears filled her eyes, after all, she couldn't continue to resist the pain from the heart for the girl, and fell on the luxurious carpet following the sad outline of her face.

"asshole!"

  The king finally couldn't help but curse out loud.

  Although Charlotte has not spoken, in his opinion, not speaking is equivalent to acquiescing.

   "You, you **** without a conscience, tell me, in this kingdom, who owes you! Who insults you! Who has malice towards you! Do you have any! Do you have any!"

   "You are crying, what made you feel wronged? Is it because you are crying excitedly at the thought of being able to sit in my seat next time! Ah!"

  He roared hoarsely, and turned to his daughter: "Charlotte, I tell you, your greed cannot be realized! Even if you sit in that position, you will not be the one holding the scepter!"

   "Look at the history books, no king controlled by nobles has a good end, no, no!"

"You, you'll never have the nobility that your last name should have, you'll just be like the **** on 17th Street after they get what they want, alive like a walking dead, bleeding Pus, rotten and stinking!!"

  Charlotte suddenly raised her head, looking at the king's ferocious face in disbelief.

  In the past, she would never have imagined that such vicious and sharp words would be directed at herself, and even the person who said these words was her father.

"hehe."

  Seeing the girl's aggrieved appearance, the king sneered: "Don't show such an ugly expression, either you will kill me directly, or you will shout out, this is not what you want!"

"I"

   "Say it! You should say it! You can't say it!"

  The girl's fragile screen was severely torn apart by her father's sharp words, but even so she was unwilling to make that heart-wrenching choice.

  She squatted on the ground, buried her cheeks in a corner where the light could not reach, and wept uncontrollably.

  At this moment, she felt so lonely and helpless, no one in the world would reach out to her and pull her up.

   After the clown puts down her red nose and exaggerated makeup, there will be no more excited audience applauding for her, and if the circus disbands, her kung fu will be useless.

  She has been alone since then, with nothing.

  The follow-up control of the coup was quite easy. First, because the target was a character recognized by the nobles and most likely liked by the common people. Second, the roots of the Karan family had already spread to the deepest level after losing their competitors.

   Standing at the corner of the banquet hall, Lynn looked up at the stars hanging in the sky through the window.

"how?"

  Suddenly there was a voice in his ear, and he turned his head to see Irene leaning against the wall.

   "You seem a little sad." She said with great interest, "Are you sad for that little girl?"

   "You feel guilty because you lied to her, used her, made her a tool and lost everything?"

  Irene laughed a little and said, "Isn't that what you should think?"

   "." Lynn pursed his lips, but did not speak.

   "Are you serious?" The girl's face became serious, "Do you really feel sorry for her?"

  Lin En was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.

   Staring at him for a while, Eileen said, "Once again you've let me down."

   "I don't ask you to be an emotionless robot, but you can't show this emotion outside—you should hide your own weakness from being discovered by anyone."

  Lin En shook his head and suddenly laughed: "I will admit it because the person standing in front of me is you, and others will not do this."

   "." Irene frowned slightly, and the corners of her lips curled up and closed, and she said seriously, "Even I can't do it, because... anyway, I just can't do it."

   She couldn't find any reason to be perfunctory, so she could only choose to change the subject.

   It's just this topic, and it doesn't seem to be a good topic.

"You will feel guilty about her because you are emotionally invested in her—so, you fell in love with her?" Irene said, seemingly puzzled, "What is there to like about such a person, weak Absolutely, unattractive."

  “.”

  Lin En suddenly turned his head to look at her, and said, "Is that how you see her?"

   "What else." Irene said, "In my eyes, she is a useless person."

   "However, in my impression, she can soothe the restlessness and depression in many people's hearts."

   "This" Irene opened her mouth, very puzzled, "This is also counted, is it useful?"

"Why is it useless? I even think this is a very great and excellent character." Lynn said softly, "Dig out the ugly, inferior and negative thoughts in people's hearts countless times, and then use my beautiful emotions to treat them. Probation and correction, I know you might say that this is such a stupid and boring act, because it is impossible to wash away the sins of the world, but "

   “She never tried to correct my behavior.”

  Looking down at the sly moonlight, Lynn's voice gradually became a little distant.

"What kind of person am I? Although I can't see the future clearly, but just looking at the present and the past, the road I walked on was paved with hatred, and the place where I stand now is full of corpses and blood. In this way, she, a girl who likes pure and beautiful fairy tales, never thought of pulling me back, and even wanted to stand with me."

   "Among them, there is no interest relationship that I am used to calculating, only likes and preferences."

   Sighing slightly, his voice gradually slowed down.

"People always yearn for the beautiful, otherwise the legends and stories handed down from history will not be the biographies of heroes, so even I sometimes want to accept this pure beauty—after all, people are greedy , will never be satisfied with the status quo.”

   "So, I have to admit, I like girls like her."

   "Her preference for me sometimes always makes me feel that it is a greater salvation than the blessing of the gods."
