Chapter 188 (1/2)
In Heidelberg in September, it's a bit chilly at night.
Iron gray thorns bloom in a roadside garden at Hyderabad palace. When the wind blows through the thick branches, there are clear and sweet birds singing in the flowers.
In the north of the Durham Empire, there is a peculiar nightingale. They are small and like to build nests in thorns.
According to the statistics of the court gardeners, there are at least 340000 Nightingale couples nesting here among the large thorny flowers in Hydra palace. At night, especially on a moonlit night, these birds sing and make sounds of nature.
Marguerite III walked slowly along the road in the flower garden. The clear and sweet birdsong, like wisps of clear spring water, slowly extinguished her boiling anger.
”You know what? Just now, I wanted to hit Conrad on the ground It must be that he was beaten so little when he was a child that he was so unreliable; it must be that I beat him too few times when he was a child, and now I think of him itching! ”
Mata XIII, like a silent and loyal old dog, quietly followed her, with his hands behind him without saying a word.
Finally, Marguerite III came to the end of the path and stopped at a quiet water lily pond. A small arched bridge across the small pond, covered with duckweed on the water, one after another quietly blooming water lily.
Marguerite III stepped onto the bridge and sat cross legged with her back against the guardrail of the bridge.
She patted the bridge beside her, and Matta XIII laughed and sat down close to Marguerite III. They sat side by side, the night wind blowing, lifting their hair and clothes, the water lily gently shaking on the water.
Just like 80 years ago, when they first fell in love, they sat quietly on the quiet bridge and enjoyed the quiet.
”Honey, I'm a little flustered, a little scared.” Marguerite III murmured softly.
”Don't panic. Don't be afraid. I'll always be with you.” Marta XIII gently stroked Marguerite III's long hair.
Margaret III was silent for a long time.
”You know where I am now. If, if I fail, I can't stick to the past, can we trust them with the Empire we have spent most of our lives?”
Margaret III sighed and continued to whisper.
”When I ascended to the throne, the Empire was haunted and swayed. You and I, like a couple of wolf and wolf, who are forced to a desperate situation, show their teeth by unscrupulous means, hysterically and violently, and drag the Empire out of the mire by countless dark, bloody, cruel and merciless tricks. ”
”We plundered and filled the Treasury.”
”We betray our faith and plunder our interests.”
”We are cruel and bloodthirsty and suppress the enemy.”
”So I became the craziest warmonger in medland; and you, many princesses of royal family, tossed and fell asleep, erudite, versatile, handsome and elegant, Prince Marta, known as the model of medland royal family, has become the craziest butcher around war traffickers!”
Marta XIII looked fondly at Marguerite III: ”now, everything is all right.”
Marguerite III curled her lips and said in a cold voice, ”because we are still alive, everything looks ok.”
”The empire is stronger than ever before. It is ten times and a hundred times stronger than the previous emperors! The territory of the empire is as vast as it has ever been, its Treasury has never been enriched before, and its army is unprecedented in scale and capable of fighting well. ”
”Such a powerful empire, let us confident Empire, but the mid autumn massacre is like a hammer in the head, let me wake up.”
”Such a powerful empire, church, St. HIA, highland Kingdom, and those damned heresies They didn't pay attention to the Empire. For the sake of interests, they still dare to set off a bloodbath in the Empire. ”
”Such a powerful empire, the ice sea Kingdom, or the ice sea kingdom of our allies, they, a little bastard of the Carter Family, dare to ignore the power of the Empire, and brazenly break into the territory of the Empire and kill the loyal soldiers of the Empire.”
”Such a powerful empire, an ambitious Empire, ready to do a big job, the most confidential strategic plan, the most confidential core information, unexpectedly appear in the port of Tulun tens of thousands of miles away!”
Marguerite III turned her head and looked at Mata XIII deeply: ”honey, is such an empire really powerful?”
Marta XIII put his arm around Marguerite III's shoulder. He looked at his lover gently and said firmly and forcefully, ”of course we are powerful.”
Marguerite III murmured a little capriciously: ”I am still here. While you are, the empire is undoubtedly powerful. But if I fail this time, I am not here, and you are not? Our children, the bastards around our children, can they take over the burden of the Empire and keep it strong? ”
