Chapter 10

Just as the royal court was busy trying to see the choice of his husband for His Highness, His Majesty the King's health improved day by day.

At the beginning, he could only stay in bed. After half a month of work, he could already take a walk in the yard with the help of his servant.

The doctors who treated the king were also surprised. This was a good thing after all. For a moment, the depressed atmosphere in the summer palace became jubilant again.

Of course, most people's joy is true and false, Margaret knows it.

Because most of these nobles gathered in order to become the new princes of the Kingdom of Kosai, or their sons, or their grandsons.

In short, since the king's body has recovered, Margaret didn't have to worry about getting married in order to make her father feel at ease, so the dance party in the summer palace was naturally suspended.

You may be very satisfied with this result.As Margaret’s playmate since she was a child, when there was no one in private, Anthony spoke to her in a casual tone. Your Majesty is fine, so you don’t have to find a man to marry.

The girl smiled, although she did not answer, but Xinyue was obvious.

Are you going to go on like this?Anthony suddenly said, sooner or later, you will be married, Lily, and that person will not be Arthur.

Unless Margaret gives up the throne, she will naturally marry whoever she wants, but she can't do this even for her father.

Do you have to say these words to remind me?The girl frowned, and her rare good mood was destroyed like this, but she also admitted that Anthony was right. How long can she avoid this time? If my strength is strong enough... She couldn't help but murmur. Being a queen who doesn't need to consolidate her power through marriage is the only way for her to freely choose her husband.

Or you can hold on to never get married and let Arthur be your lover, Anthony raised his eyebrows, I don't think he would have any objections.

Not only did he have no objection, but he probably felt that he was not worthy of being a lover.

What about the heir?Margaret smiled bitterly. There was no legal heir. Once she passed away, the throne would still fall into the hands of her cousin.

Anthony thought for a while: Find a weak man to marry and ask him to have a name?

In fact, many couples in the aristocratic circle have this situation. Because of political marriage, the couple has no feelings for each other. After getting married, they play their own things and do not interfere with each other.

If Margaret became the queen, she could completely let her nominal husband shut up and put the children she and Arthur gave birth to in her husband's name. In this way, all the problems would be solved.

This method sounded very feasible, and Margaret shook her head anyway.

She didn't want to say anything more, knowing that Anthony was considering himself sincerely, but he probably didn't understand what he was hesitating about.

She wanted to be with Arthur upright, not a lover, nor did she want to insert a nominal husband into it. She just wanted everyone to know that the man was her husband and that man’s wife.

This is probably the difference between women and men. Even though I know that such a stupid thing is useless, I still persistently don’t want to give up.

Arthur, that night, after being washed by a man, the girl grabbed his collar and forced him to lean down and look at him. What would you do if I got married?

Arthur's eyes darkened: I will guard you, just like now.

Then what if I... don't need you anymore?

The moment the words were said, the girl seemed to see a bitterness in Arthur's eyes, but his voice was still so calm: I will still guard you, even if you no longer need me.

But Margaret still refused to let him go and asked step by step: What if I drive you away?

Your command... The man's voice finally showed a difficult meaning, and I will never disobey it.

What if my husband wants to drive you away?

Husband... His hands trembled unconsciously, and Arthur kept telling himself not to shake: As long as it was your instructor...

So, didn't this man think about resisting?

The feeling that surged into his heart was complicated and difficult to tell. Margaret looked at Arthur's eyes. Only his own shadow was reflected in the green pupils, just like his words and deeds. In his heart, he would always be contrary to His Royal Highness.

Then I want other men to share me with you, are you willing?She suddenly sat up, her nose pressed against Arthur's nose, and her eyes almost saw the depths of Arthur's pupils.

The man panicked and wanted to retreat, but unconditionally obeying His Highness the Princess's instinct made his feet nailed to the spot.

Do you want to?The girl was cold and repeated again.

If... this is your order, he struggled to feel a piece of his heart being cut off for every word he said, and I do.

Margaret stopped talking. After a long time, Arthur remained half-bearing and stiffly in place before he heard her spit out cold words from her lips: Get out.

His Highness the Princess had a cold war with the Chief Guard.

As the deputy captain of the Palace Guards, Alan dares to say that he is the one who knows the two people best in the entire palace except His Excellency Anthony.

After His Highness stripped Captain Arthur of his power a few months ago, everyone said he finally lost his favor, but Allen knew it wasn't that way at all.

The captain was still serving His Highness, and his affairs were still left to him to take care of.

As expected, a few days later, the captain regained his power.

So this is simply because the young couple gets angry after a quarrel. Yes, in Allen's eyes, these two people with completely unequal status are a couple.

Because of the look of each other looking at each other, judging from the experience of Alan, a veteran in love, there is definitely a goal.

The reason why I haven't made it clear is probably because one is awkward and the other is inferior.

I have to say that Alan is completely true.

But after the Cold War began, Allen suddenly panicked.

On the surface, Arthur's position as chief guard was still hanging on his body. His Highness valued him very much, but according to Allen's observation, His Highness had not said a word to Captain Arthur in the past half month!

Not to mention that His Highness's daily life and service were handed over to the maid, and he no longer took Captain Arthur with him when he was traveling.

The two men who had never left each other for a moment have now become alienated masters and servants, and His Highness has the intention of alienating the captain even more. Yesterday, Allen received an order from His Highness to go to His Highness's room to watch every night.

God is above, isn’t this Captain Arthur’s exclusive duty?

Allen was sure that as long as he dared to go, the captain would definitely lose himself!

But the Lord had a fate and had to obey. He secretly complained to himself ten thousand times, but Alan still shrank his neck.

Fortunately for him, His Highness did not intend to have a love relationship with him, that's good, that's good. If he really went to His Highness's bed, Allen felt that he might not be able to keep his entire body.

After staying like this for several days, Captain Arthur's eyes became colder and colder when he looked at Allen.

Alan was trembling every day, but His Highness threatened him not to tell him what had happened during the night watch, so he had to pretend to be stupid.

After enduring for more than ten days, Captain Arthur finally couldn't help it. He stopped Alan in the corridor who was going to watch over His Highness: Alan, can you tell me what Your Highness has summoned you to do every night?

Alan hesitated, thinking of the instructions His Highness gave him: Yes, he didn't do anything. He swallowed and told himself to run faster later, that is... I will... do whatever you did with His Highness before.

As soon as he finished speaking, the man's face sank.

Alan had never seen that look on the face of Captain Arthur, who was in a good temper, as if the dark clouds were on the eve of the storm, and like a beast that suddenly rose during hunting.

To Allen's surprise, he didn't say anything, but said lightly: You don't have to go to the night watch tonight.

Alan stood there until Arthur walked past him, and the suffocating oppression disappeared.

He saw Arthur walk to the door of His Royal Highness's bedroom, and for the first time, he didn't knock on the door, but pushed open the door and walked straight in.

After finishing washing, the girl was sitting by the window reading a book. When she heard the footsteps, she asked casually: Alan, why is it so early today?

No one responded to her, and she raised her head in wonder. The tall man walking in seemed like a solid stone statue, and there was no expression on his face: Allen is sick, I will keep you vigil tonight.

Go out, the girl put down the book and let... She wanted to let other guards come in, but Arthur had already walked in front of her.

The man ignored her orders abnormally. She felt something was wrong and wanted to stand up. Her big hand suddenly grabbed her ankle and pressed her into the chair amid her screams.

Arthur kneeled down, but his humble posture made Margaret feel a sense of danger.

I will serve you, Your Highness.The man's voice was low and heavy, and he opened his thin lips and licked the base of her legs.
