Chapter 18

A month later, Wang Weijun, who had won a great victory, returned to the court.

From the gate of the royal capital to the front of the palace, the entire street was filled with cheering crowds.

The people offered flowers and cheers to the soldiers who returned from triumphant return, which they deserved.

Margaret stood in the tower, watching the new heroes in brightly-clad armored came up high on their tall horses, but unfortunately the one among them who should enjoy the greatest glory never came back.

Yes, she believed Arthur would definitely come back.

Feeling the raised belly, she felt confident.

That man could not die, because when he left the palace to go to the army, he ordered him: Come back to see me intact.

He will never disobey His Highness the orders of His Highness.

Your Highness, go back?Allen came over and asked softly.

Margaret nodded, and the maids supported her left and right, and helped her slowly walk back.

Now is the fourth month she is pregnant. Her belly is not very big, but she cannot show up in front of others.

Alexander announced that the princess was ill, and then placed her daughter in the summer palace, preparing a handful of people to let her take care of her baby, and waited for five months to successfully give birth to the child.

After learning about Arthur's disappearance, Margaret said nothing, neither sad nor disbelief, but just said calmly: I want to give birth to the child.

Alexander naturally obeyed his daughter unconditionally. He didn't know whether this was good or bad. His daughter finally stopped thinking about abortion, but the price was that the child's father had no news.

It was said that there was no news, so I'm afraid Arthur is gone.

He and Anthony never said such words in front of Margaret, but they must have thought it in their hearts.

In that case, Arthur would not have survived.

Because of this, when it comes to rewarding merits, Arthur’s reward is particularly heavy.

Alexander suddenly conferred him an earl, and his territory was still in the fertile and prosperous Constantine.

It was originally a king's leader, but the king took it out and rewarded it to a dead man. Everyone thought it was to win people's hearts.

A dead man will not fight for power, and because of the supreme honor he received, all the soldiers who participated in that war and had military merits were very satisfied. This is a killing of two birds with one stone.

No one outsider could have imagined that the territory was left to his grandson by Alexander.

The child in Margaret's belly cannot be recognized and will be sent out of the palace once it is born.

Alexander had already secretly prepared the child. After the child was half a year old, he would appear as Arthur's posthumous son and then inherit the title of Earl Constantine.

This will also make Lilli feel at ease.

He always felt sorry for his daughter. Because of his willfulness, his daughter always took on the burden that she should not have shouldered. The child kept everything in his heart, and was not saying it, because his father was too unreliable.

Alexander made up his mind that if Arthur could really come back alive, he would do everything possible to make Lily stay with him smoothly.

His Majesty, who was thinking, did not expect that at this time, His Royal Highness, who had watched the celebration parade, was sitting in the carriage back to the summer palace, and a horse was chasing him quickly half a mile away from the carriage.

The horse whipped rustling, and just before the horse that had been running for nearly a thousand miles was about to die of exhaustion, it finally caught up with the carriage.

Margaret came out of concealing his identity, so he only brought two maids and two guards beside him. Alan, who was sitting on the shaft of the car, heard the sound of horse hooves galloping and ordered the coachman to say: Park the car on the side of the road and make way for the people behind him. After saying that, he couldn't help but mutter, "Who is in a hurry, it's not the time for war now..."

Margaret was closing her eyes and resting, feeling the carriage slowly stop: What's going on?She couldn't help frowning, and a hurried neigh came from outside the carriage, followed by the loud noise of heavy objects falling to the ground. She sat up and was about to order the maid to lift the curtain, the car door was suddenly opened.

A messy head appeared, it seemed to be a man, his bearded face made people unable to see clearly, and his clothes were old and ordinary, full of dust.

What are you doing?!Alan didn't react just now, but was snatched to the car door by the man, and quickly reached out to pull him over.

stop!The girl shouted coldly, her lips trembling. She wanted to speak, but for some reason why her throat was tight and she couldn't speak.

In the surprised eyes of the two maids, she stretched out her hand and gently stroked the man's face.

The man subconsciously wanted to kneel down, but she grabbed the collar.

Wait, is this person... Alan hasn't figured it out yet, then His Royal Highness raised his face and kissed the cracked lips under his messy beard.

Arthur...Arthur...she repeated in her heart over and over again, when you are back, I knew you will definitely come back.

Arthur, who was determined to have died in battle, actually came back. For a moment, the government and the people fell below the eyes of many people.

No matter what those nobles with different minds thought, after the news spread, everyone was happy among the people.

Arthur's heroic deeds have long been spread. People regret that such a young and brave soldier, wouldn't it be a great thing for him to return intact?

The award ceremony originally planned to be held for Arthur's funeral was changed to the royal court, and since then, Arthur officially became the Earl of Constantine.

Thinking about it, he was originally just a slave at the bottom, but now he has become a great nobleman with a prosperous territory. No one can tell such a legendary life.

But all this is not as important to Arthur as His Highness the Princess.

As soon as the award ceremony ended, he left the dance party under the pretext that he had not healed his old wounds and secretly rushed to the summer palace.

Margaret was reading a book by the pool as his horse stopped in the garden.

The afterglow of the setting sun seemed like a layer of gold, making the smile on the girl's lips softer when she was pondering.

Her belly is not very big, and the round and smooth curves make the girl full of maternal soft brilliance.

Arthur couldn't help looking at her foolishly until she found the man standing not far away, raised her eyebrows and smiled: Arthur, what are you doing standing there?

Your Highness, Arthur hurried over, it's almost dark, I'll help you into the house.

Um.The girl nodded and obediently allowed the man to help her up.

Her big hands were put on her waist, as if she was hugging a porcelain doll, carefully and with concentration.

Without being so careful, she couldn't help but smile and bend her eyes. The child is very good now and kicked me last time.

Arthur's eyes seemed to be lit up in an instant: Really?He couldn't help but rub his hands, "I, Your Highness...I can...

The girl knew what he wanted to say, grabbed his hand and placed it on her lower abdomen: You touch him.

People who return from the battlefield always have a little coldness and coldness, but Arthur bent down and pressed his ear against the girl's belly, and seemed to become the always stupid big dog: I heard his heartbeat, and he raised his head excitedly, and the gentle light in his eyes almost drowned Margley inside. Can you hear it, Your Highness, can you hear it too?

Um.Margaret echoed him softly, it was great, he was back.

He almost couldn't come back, and Arthur, who stayed to cover his subordinates, was chopped down from his horse by the enemy. At that time, he thought he could not survive.

What supported him was the determination to go back and meet His Royal Highness the Princess. He struggled to climb out of the dead, dragging his bleeding waist, abdomen and left leg, and climbed to someone's place in one breath.

The one who took him in was a hunter living in the woods that were rarely visited.

Because there was no medicine, Arthur forced himself to carry the ulcer of the wound and the high fever caused by inflammation.

He was so confused and awakened intermittently. A month later, he actually survived.

No one believed that he could survive, whether it was the people in the royal capital or the hunter who had been guarding him.

But Your Highness must be still waiting for him. Even if he felt that he could not stand it in a trance, he knew that Your Highness must believe that he could survive.

Are you tired, Your Highness?Arthur sat down beside the bed with Margaret. You rest for a little while and dinner is about to be ready.He turned around and was about to go to the kitchen to check the dinner preparations, but his hand was grabbed.

You are about to leave, the girl said softly, after the medal ceremony is held, you are going to the fiefdom.Arthur is no longer her guard commander, so he naturally cannot serve her at any time.

Arthur knelt down, and his thin lips fell on the back of the girl's hand and kissed softly: I am willing to serve you forever, no matter when.

Fool, the girl smiled and pointed a little on his forehead. I was still counting on you to marry me. I have been by my side. How can I be qualified to marry a princess?

Your Highness... Arthur looked up, as if he couldn't believe it, and was so excited that he couldn't speak.

Don't get me wrong, Margaret lowered her eyes and subconsciously stroked her stomach. I'm not because I like you, but I just don't want this child to be the name of an illegitimate child.

As soon as she finished speaking, she was kissed.

The man's kiss was anxious and arduous, but his hands carefully supported her waist and prevented himself from pressing her.

Your Highness, Your Highness... Arthur murmured in silence after sound. I never dared to think that I would have such a happy day.

The girl leaned softly into his arms, and her little hands clutched his neck: Do you want to... be happier?Arthur was a little puzzled, and then his big hand was arrested and pressed on the girl's towering peaks.
