Extras Dark Tales - Wounds(2/4)
Washing her face with water, dabbing her lips with flower juice, lightly combing her hair, and twirling her eyebrows, Princess Mary's most subtle movements were all reflected in Haiert's eyes, without even a trace being missed. This man never understood the love between children, and never let aristocratic ladies go.
The iron-blooded warrior in his heart had a faint smile on his lips, with bitterness, determination, and willingness.
With a refreshing fragrance all over her body, Princess Mary lowered her eyebrows, wrung her bare hands, and moved almost step by step in front of him. After not hearing a word of appreciation from him for a long time, she slowly raised her eyes and looked at him blankly.
"The water you just used is the clear dew inherited by the First Princess, which is used to make drinks for the Prime Minister; the flowers you picked are the treasures that the Fourth Princess worked hard to cultivate and bloom for the first time; that grass,
It is the relic of an old friend that the Emperor's mother regards as her heart..." Haiert looked at the newly rejuvenated princess in front of him and said weakly: "Three crimes were committed together, which is enough for me to be chopped ten times..."
"Then." Princess Mary raised her beautiful eyebrows, turned her head slightly away, and opened her lips, "So what?"
"It's worth it." Haierte nodded, "This kind of appearance, this kind of bearing, this kind of you is what I want to grab."
He took Princess Mary's hand and walked to the end of the garden. In front of a building that was almost overly protected, Lieutenant General Helter stopped. A Guards officer stepped forward and walked towards Helter.
He gave a military salute and took off his sword.
"After we go in, you don't need to give any explanation. Just as you did to me back then, you will do the same to those ministers today. I will say everything." Finally, Haiert turned around and explained in a tone that could not be refused,
"You are not allowed to be weak, you are not allowed to plead, and you are not allowed to cry. Even if I am taken out to behead my head, the only thing you have to do is to watch me with a smile. You are not allowed to fall to the ground, and you are not allowed to panic...I am feared by others.
Lieutenant General Haiert, I don’t need these by nature, even when I am sacrificed by the boss. If you are willing, you can use other methods..."
"Kissing you? In that case, what's the difference between it and acting?" Princess Mary interrupted Helter, "Do you know, as a demon princess, what does it mean for me to kiss you?"
"I'm too lazy to think about it," Heldt replied, "I've never wanted to."
"If I want to kiss someone, I don't need anyone to tell me, I know how to do it myself..."
Princess Mary let go of Geert's hand, touched his face, slowly leaned over, and slowly stood up on her tiptoes, but her hot lips fell in the air and did not kiss Geert's battle-hardened face.
Rough face - Princess Mary watched with her own eyes as three guards rushed up, held down Helter without any explanation, and tied his hands behind his back with a rope symbolizing imperial power.
Tears welled up in an instant, but they were suppressed by Helter's words. When he was dragged up by the guards, he smiled and said: "Remember my words."
"Lieutenant General Geert, the commander-in-chief of the Guards stationed in the province of Camp and the province of Wales, meets with His Majesty the Emperor!"
Amid the announcement from the chamberlain, Geert, who had his hands clasped behind his back, smiled and proudly walked into the hall of the building. Princess Mary slowly followed behind. She was looking at the man from another angle and felt that this huge
The hall seemed not to be able to accommodate his figure. So, he raised his head slightly, followed calmly and generously, keeping a distance of three steps from him.
She had always secretly regretted not seeing Lieutenant General Helter's courage on the battlefield, but at this time, she no longer had to wait for the war, because the Lieutenant General Helter who walked in front of her was the most powerful Helter.
There cannot be a braver and more fearless general than him. No matter what happens in the future, at least she will remember this figure from behind, this moment.
The hall was filled with a strong aroma of medicine. On the middle platform at the far end, there was a hospital bed that could be carried. A young man with black hair was weakly leaning on it, supporting his head with his hands and looking at the patient.
Holding the file in the other hand.
He seemed to be younger than Geert, but there was no trace of color on his thin face, and the upright royal dress could not hide the tiredness seeping into his bones... However, having him in this hall almost attracted people's attention.
Not to mention the ministers standing on both sides. He seemed to be a mysterious, dangerous, and fatally attractive black hole, which firmly attracted Princess Mary's eyes. In order not to peek, but to look directly at him, Princess Mary
Normalcy can no longer be maintained.
"Your Majesty!" Seeing the young man's face, Haiert couldn't help but rush forward a few steps and asked in a panic and eager tone that Princess Mary had never seen before: "Are you...are you okay?"
It turns out that this is the legendary madman, Cohen Keda! Princess Mary thought in her heart, looking away, looking for evidence that the emperor relied on blood to sustain his life... She was not so concerned about her own fate.
, because under such circumstances, even the very determined Lieutenant General Helter finally had to nod and agree to sacrifice himself!
He has done this for himself, he has done this for himself, and it is enough to be able to see with his own eyes that someone has done this for him. It is enough...
"Ignorant woman!" A minister standing under Cohen Keda took a step forward, "Why don't you kneel down when you see His Majesty the Emperor?"
"Prince, please respect yourself!" Before Princess Mary could think of a reply, Haiert had already answered, "I, Hailt, have always respected you as my teacher. It is only natural for you to reprimand me, but you cannot reprimand my wife!"
"Lieutenant General Helter, the Sibia Empire has not recognized Mary Hogsanda as your wife." The minister known as the dean replied with a cold face, "You must marry an officer above the rank of a colonel.
With the approval of the military department, the marriage of generals above brigadier general must be approved by His Majesty the Emperor - as a lieutenant general, how could you not know?"
"I did not abide by military regulations and acted recklessly. Ever since I became a soldier, I have known that military regulations and national laws are sacred and sacred. As a general, I am willing to accept all punishments." Haiert finished the first half of the sentence with his eyes lowered, and then stretched his neck
He said hard, "But it's none of her business! She's a princess! I can't tolerate her being treated inappropriately. You don't recognize her as my wife, but you can't deny that I snatched her back. I snatched her back."
She came back just to take her as my wife! The only one who can scold her is me!"
These words made the minister's eyes widen with anger. Just as he was about to speak, His Majesty Cohen, who was unable to rely on the hospital bed, gently turned the pages of the document in his hand. The slight sound of the paper echoed in the hall. Everyone was filled with indignation.
The ministers, as well as the equally indignant Lieutenant General Haiert, all lowered their heads involuntarily.
This is something that a very majestic emperor can do. Princess Mary is very surprised. The rumored Emperor Sbia should not be like this. He should only be tyrannical and despotic, should be despicable and insidious, and should never be truly supported by his ministers.
That's right.
After turning the page of the official document, His Majesty Cohen still focused on the document without even raising his eyes, let alone expressing any opinions or decisions on the matter in front of him.
"Let's put aside our status and treatment first, Lieutenant General Haiert. In this matter, you should know what kind of crime you have committed." Then, the minister on the other side spoke, "Our country and the Demon Alliance are like water and fire.
Under such circumstances, you should try to delay the start of the war instead of using such means to stimulate them to advance the war. Do you know the current situation? There is a rebellion in the country, and the Riva rebels are counterattacking!"
"I know." Lieutenant General Helter nodded, "That's why I'm kneeling here now."
"Lieutenant General, you can't make the same mistake again and again." The minister who spoke looked at Haiert worriedly, "Please tell us that you were seduced by this lady from the Demonic Alliance. Did you fall into the trap of the Demonic Alliance?
The evil plot - things may turn around."
"I, Geert, are a soldier and a man. I am kneeling here today because what I want to kneel on is the emperor, national laws and military regulations. I will not destroy my sense of being a soldier just because of this height difference.
Firmness, as a man's responsibility." Haiert raised his head, "I was the one who made the mistake, and I will never put the blame on a woman. She is dignified and noble, she is reserved and intelligent, I fell in love with her at first sight, and I have to put it on her.
She can't get it!"
"But we received intelligence that the situation that night did not seem to be like this." Another minister said, "Someone in the Demon Alliance wanted to harm her. The Lieutenant General seemed to have rescued her, feeling that she had no way out.
That’s why I decided to leave..."
"This is nonsense! I, Haiert, drink blood, and I am definitely not an idle person with overflowing compassion!" Lieutenant General Haiert interrupted his speech loudly, "I tried my best to snatch her and forced the wedding to be held. Except
I have carried her on my shoulders several times, but I have never touched her with a finger! Until now, she has not been willing to be with me, so she is still my goal!"
In the hall, the slight discussion of the ministers echoed, and all of them were angry and disappointed with Haiert's efforts to defend Princess Mary. Princess Mary herself felt all this deeply, her throat was choked, and she could not say a word.
Not coming out.
"Lieutenant General Helter, you...are so disappointing to us." The hard work of persuasion was in vain, so a minister sighed in a hoarse voice, then turned his head and bowed to His Majesty Cohen, "In order to rectify the imperial code, give the world a
To avoid falling into the dangerous situation of fighting on two fronts, your Majesty, please punish Lieutenant General Haiert according to military law, and deal with Princess Mary in the same manner."
Lieutenant General Helter was very calm, maintained her reputation, and asked the ministers to call her "Princess". It seemed that his purpose had been achieved.
Some ministers shook their heads sadly and seconded the suggestion: "I would like to invite you..."
Some ministers slightly considered the personal relationship between His Majesty the Emperor and Lieutenant General Helter: "Maybe Lieutenant General Helter and Princess Mary will be demoted to civilians..."
The ministers present put forward a total of seven disposal plans. No matter which one, a lieutenant general could maintain his majesty and dignity after accepting it. However, in this hall, the ministers did not have any shame on their faces, and some just felt regret and regret.
It is sad that they, who are qualified to stand here, handle this matter without any personal feelings. The secret protection of Haiert is for the future of the empire, and the explicit order to punish the princess is also for the future of the empire.
The ministers have tried their best to save Lieutenant General Helter, but Lieutenant General Helter refused to turn back... Moreover, in essence, it is not only difficult for Sibiya to explain to the outside world, but also to the domestic people.
The matter of the princess. Even if His Majesty Cohen ignores the voices outside the empire, he still needs to explain something internally. His Majesty’s body is already in this condition. Do you want to take the blame for Lieutenant General Helter? In the final analysis, it is for one person.
Woman, is it worth it? Not to mention that this woman is actually a demon princess who has reached the end of her life. Is it worth it?
It's her empire that wants to destroy her!
Even if Lieutenant General Haiert was temporarily wronged, as the commander-in-chief of the army, he might not be able to regain his dignity in the future! The ministers present simply said to Lieutenant General Haiert: "Sacrifice this demon princess to protect your life."
Prestige ensures that we will have all the generals in Sibia!"
The speeches of the ministers ended, but His Majesty Cohen, who was looking down at the paperwork, still did not raise his eyes and turned a blind eye to everything in the room.
The matter has reached a stalemate. It is obvious that Lieutenant General Heldt will not give up Princess Mary, but the ministers are forcing Heldt to give up Princess Mary. Neither side is willing to take a step back.
Since encountering the accident some time ago, Princess Mary has actually gotten to know the royal family very well. In this suffocating silence, she took a small step forward, hesitated, and then took another small step.
Then, he took the third step without hesitation, smiled at the corners of his mouth, lifted up his skirt, and performed a standard court salute to Emperor Korn Keda.
When she smiled, the ministers present clearly felt her charm, which was just like the charm Haiert had just described. They were surprised that she could still shine and smile at this time...
"I, Mary Hogsanda, the princess of the Tulan Empire of the Demon Alliance." She smiled, "I would like to speak to His Majesty the Emperor."
Korn Keda didn’t express anything, and the ministers couldn’t go beyond etiquette. Helter didn’t know what she wanted to do, so no one spoke up to stop her. Under such circumstances, could we not give the woman who Helter tried to protect the right to speak?
? Even if she is a beauty and can confuse Lieutenant General Helter, can she still confuse everyone in this hall?
"Your Majesty the Emperor, I grew up in the palace since I was a child. I am used to seeing men and women in love and pursuing each other in love. I am used to noble young men courting me and romantic talents chasing me. I am used to conquering men's hearts and playing with men.
In the palm of your hand, and... take it as the greatest joy of life." The princess ignored Haiert's surprised and angry eyes, stood beside him, and said these words with the most leisurely and calm expression, "Meeting Haiert for the first time.
Lieutenant General, I feel that he is rude and uneducated, but I, I will not allow anyone to laugh unscrupulously in front of me, say unscrupulously... unscrupulously, feed the fish with bread crumbs..."
The confusion of the ministers, the panic of Lieutenant General Helter, and the disregard of His Majesty the Emperor formed a strange scene at this moment.
"So, I used my appearance to confuse Lieutenant General Helter in every possible way... I used my words and deeds to... tease him." Along with Helter's roar, Princess Mary gritted her teeth and forced herself to speak.
He said, "It's me... I want to play with him... I want... I want to... trample him... under my feet... I, I, I have never..."
"You!" Haiert shouted, his voice deafening, "How dare you say it! I will chop you down right now!"
A young minister who had been to the Lieutenant General's residence last night quickly stepped forward, sealed Lieutenant General Haiert's mouth with an unknown object, then looked at Princess Mary with a complex look, and then turned around.
He turned over and nodded to the guards - the two guards used their hands hard, and the ropes made of unknown things tightly tied Lieutenant General Helter, making him unable to move!
To be continued...
