The coffee fell on Steinbel's face and the tablecloth, wet the sunshine and exuded a little bit of mottledness. △↗,

Yes, he squirted the General's face.

Elena's face was very red and her hands were also very red. It seemed that a fire was burning under the skin, as if a red plum was sprinkled in the snow, and it was instantly beautiful.

He didn't expect that Miss Elena, who had just met, would say such words. She was only 15 years old, and she was the age of using her youth and dreams to make flower crowns. As a well-educated girl, how could she say such words?

He swore to the sky that the face in the mirror was very ordinary, really ordinary. This was a conclusion he came to after reading it thousands of times... Oh no, it was the truth.

Just such a face that is not handsome or ugly, will Elena fall in love at first sight?

He doesn't believe it, but fools believe it!

He knew why she said that, because someone taught her that the saying "I will work hard" was for him and for her own.

This is not a simple meeting, it is a forced marriage, of course, it is in the form of being gentle and acting like a good person.

Steinbel still did not give up this clumsy method after all.

Admittedly, it's lame, but it's undeniably effective, because they seized their weaknesses and began to learn to play the emotional card.

Clayston, Steinbel and Carter Bonarotti would never have such scheming. I'm afraid only Governor Buffal, the old guy who is used to wearing white gloves, would come up with such a "poisonous" plan and give himself a slap.

Elena is only fifteen or sixteen years old. If she refuses her request, it will likely have a negative impact on her growth.

Whether it is from his attitude towards Old Benny and others, as well as avenging Meng Haoyu, Madall and others, and killing all the "Georgia" nobles in anger because of Bai Hao and Roy, it can be seen that he is a very soft-hearted person to his own people.

So, these shameless guys actually made a cute girl muster up the courage to say that.

She is like a water elf, clean without any impurities.

Could he be cruel to refuse?

He was ruthless, but he couldn't agree to her.

Some people's marriages are political transactions, some people's marriages are power and money transactions. He will not do this, not to mention that he has not even settled Zhou Ai and Claya, so what qualifications and reasons do he have to mess with the world?

Everyone has a love of beauty, but not all beauty can be embraced. Just like the stars are so beautiful that they are shocking because of the distance. Once they approach rashly, the heat will burn people to ashes.

"Who did you learn these words?"

He faced Elena, but he was scanning Buffal from the corner of his eyes.

The old man had his eyelids drooping, as if he was napping. He was obviously different from Steinbel, Cleiston and others. His face was very clean, without age spots, and without many wrinkles. I think he spent a lot of time on this face on weekdays.

It is said that he was very handsome when he was young, and he was a famous young and white-faced nobleman in Duke Knar.

Elena said: "No, they... they just suggest that, the real decision... is in my own hands."

"I want to do this, so... I said that."

"Do you want to do this?" Tang Fang withdrew his gaze and looked at her in surprise: "Do you know what you are doing?"

"I...I know." She said biting her lip. A light called firmness flashed in her eyes, but it was a bit of childishness on her eyebrows. It looked very cute and made people not serious.

She said, "I think this is probably politics."

A little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old said the word "politics" in her mouth. This is not adorable and it is very sad.

Tang Fang felt that at her age, she should pursue some beautiful and out of reach like Tang Yun, enjoy the green years and great years, rather than being kidnapped by heavy things like "politics".

He shook his head and tried to smile bitterly. But he found that he couldn't laugh, and the muscles on his face seemed to be frozen.

There was a hint of darkness on her face, and her bright eyes were covered with some turbidity: "You must think I am very childish... it may also be funny, but please don't doubt my determination... Can you marry me? I will learn to be a good wife. Just like those oriental people in ancient books."

Steinbel and Cleiston looked straight at the sunshine on the long table, like petrification.

The dull atmosphere once again filled the room, and then was ignited by the sun that was so intense that it was a bit dazzling, turning into a flame without temperature, flooding everything around the long table.

Tang Fang did not reply, he just pushed the chair away from the sunny position, walked to Elena, squatted down, staring at her rainy eyes.

In the sun, there are dust dancing and flying, with soft golden yellow, wandering quietly in front of him and her.

He stretched out his hand and placed it in that ocean of coffee. He rubbed her head casually, and said with a smile: "Elena, you are still young... I promise you that when you grow up and become sensible, I will marry you."

After saying that, she gently pecked her forehead and stood up and walked out the door.

Tang Lin followed him away from his seat and followed.

Elena raised her hand and subconsciously wanted to touch her forehead, but stopped halfway, with hesitation and confusion in her eyes.

Steinbel's body slowly softened, and a smile climbed up to his face, looking a little more angry.

Carter Bonarotti drank the cold cup of coffee in front of him, his movements looked like drinking, rather than a cup of coffee.

"On behalf of the people of Duke Knar, I thank you, Miss Elena."

Cleston walked up to her, knelt on one knee, and performed a very standard knightly ceremony.

Tang Fang's words were like giving them a reassurance.

Marriage, a thing that mainly focuses on the combination of men and women, is sometimes regarded as a transaction, but more often it is a bond to maintain the needs of some people.

Born in a powerful family, freedom is sometimes really luxurious.

Elena stared at Tang Fang and did not let go, and illuminated the sunlight. They were very bright, but they were not warm.

The moment she heard that sentence, she was not happy, she felt a faint feeling of loss and sadness, she was not even as good as crying, and she could not maintain a calm mood. It was a feeling of wanting to cry but unable to cry.

She really wanted to hear such words, but she didn't want to hear such words.

This is not contradictory, because she is a person. She has a emotional side and a rational side.

She doesn't hate Tang Fang, nor can she like him. She doesn't know more about him, or she just describes him as Steinbel and others.

On the other hand, she knew what kind of difficulties the Duke Knar was facing now, and what kind of situation was the entire United Kingdom of Turlanx.

The Duke she inherited was neither wealth nor glory. It was a heavy burden, enough to crush her to pieces. Although Steinbel, Cleiston and others helped her, their strength was far from enough.

The power of the Tang side is indispensable.

She had to tie the Duke Knar's collar to the "Morning Star Forged" chariot at her own expense. Because what she, Cleiston, Steinbel and others planned not only to overcome the current difficulties, but also to rely on the power of the Tang side to reform, balance, conquest, and constraints in the future.

Only by becoming his wife, or fiancée, can it be justified.

Steinbel, Cleiston and others are all military generals. In fact, under a system like the United Kingdom of Turlanx, the so-called military generals are more or less "politician" attributes.

Since it has the attributes of "politicians", it is naturally accustomed to using politicians to solve non-military problems.

Elena is a girl. Because of her responsibilities, background, and everyone's expectations, she has to sacrifice her life to bear such a political marriage.

Very cruel and helpless.

She is very smart and more mature than her peers. Although she is still very immature when facing Tang Fang, Steinbel's level is still very immature. She still forces herself to muster up the courage to learn to accept and adapt to this cruelty.

Since you have chosen this path, you must continue even if you cry.

She was amazing, just like her father.

……………………

Will it still be clean by throwing a clean pearl into the dirty sewer?

Tang Fang walked very slowly, and his leather boots stepped on the ground where the light could be seen, making a dull impact sound.

Tang Lin caught up from behind and asked in a low voice: "You really want to marry her?"

Tang Fang said: "I am ashamed to see their efforts and sacrifices. Don't you think they are very similar to Grant and Claya? Although they have different backgrounds, the light in their eyes is no different."

"It's just... politics will ruin her."

"Oh." He sighed and said, "I said it, I am very ashamed."

Tracing the root of the matter, Elena was pulled into the water by him. If it weren't for the first time, how could Steinbel and Cleiston have hit the girl with the idea of ​​inheritance?

When he saw the blue sky deep in her eyes, he began to regret it.

He really shouldn't have involved such a clean girl in the political storm of the United Kingdom of Tulanx.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.

Elena promised to inherit the throne of Duke and was willing to be a chess piece in his hand.

Now the girl said such a request in front of everyone. In love, he could not bear to hurt her feelings. In reason, he felt guilty towards her and should be compensated.

He had no choice but to agree.

So, Buffel's emotional card is really beautiful.

Steinbel and Cleiston lobbying for so long ended in failure, but the words of Elena overcoming shyness with great courage left him with no way out.

Tang Lin was silent for a while and asked, "What should I do if you marry her, Claya and Freya?"

The road leading to the sealed port where the "Angel" is located is very deserted, and even the light in the corridor is a little dim.

Tang Fang was silent for a long time until the "Angel" was far away, and then he exhaled and said, "I won't marry her."

"Then why did you promise her?"

"I just said that she would grow up and wait for her to become sensible. But in my opinion, she would grow up and be more sensible."

Tang Lin showed a wry smile on his face: "Brother, is it really good for you to play word games like this?"

He grabbed the handrail in front of him and looked at the behemoth that occupied almost the entire harbor: "In fact, all the people of Steinbel wanted was a bond connecting the Morning Star Casting with the Duke of Knar. When all of Congreve's political ambitions were realized, it was no difference whether I would marry Elena or not."
