The Legend of Fatality

Thankfully, the sound of a horseshoe came along the cobblestoned street, large enough to interrupt their conversation, and let Catherine temporarily put Lord Faro's cynicism aside to see the surroundings.

Somerset ’s house was taller and narrower than Bill Barry, and people were dressed more vividly. This looks like a clean, tidy and well-tended place. When soldiers and carriages marched past, people came out of the building and even poked their heads out of the windows to see what happened. Many people waved and smiled, but a few people just stood there, staring at the soldiers who had just started.

The town was quickly replaced by the village, and when the convoy passed through the green fields and flower-filled orchards, there were fewer people there. The carriage drove until the evening. In the spacious home of Lord Faro ’s manor, Catherine received enough courtesy, with beautiful rooms, a bathroom, and private space, but she had little time to enjoy it, because that night there was a reception and she was the guest of honor.

When Sarah posed for her Burtanian-style dress, Catherine realized that she did not like them as before; they were supposed to be worn informally, not to mention they were bare-chested. She prefers her tunic Bill Barry evening dress, a silver-grey skirt with embroidery and pearls embroidered on the cuffs and neck. She tried the necklace her father gave her, but unfortunately it was not appropriate to wear it on her clothes, so she did not wear it. She asked the maids to pin her hair and curl it up with the simple hairstyle she was used to.

Jane heard the request and she smiled. "Very noble, Your Highness."

However, Nia frowned. "It's expensive, but I saw some other guests have arrived, Your Royal Highness. Their dress is fantastic. The feathers on a lady's hair almost scratched the ceiling. I thought maybe wearing one of the Burtanian style Clothes may be more suitable. "

"Maybe tomorrow. This is a long day, and I feel more comfortable this way," Catherine insisted.

Catherine realized her mistake as soon as she entered the hall. In fact, every woman in the banquet hall, even every man, dresses more gorgeously and extravagantly than she does. The women piled their hair high on their heads and woven them with ribbons, pearls, flowers, feathers and even bells. Not only are the hairstyles more refined and fashionable, they also increase the height of women.

When Catherine stood in the hall, she realized very clearly that she lacked confidence because she couldn't see the part above the shoulders of most guests. In the distance, she saw Noyes from a distance, staring at her as usual. Thankfully, Sir Roland appeared in time with her.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Let me introduce you."

This is how things started. In the process of chatting and smirking, Catherine realized that she had been evaluated, and those people were evaluating her. She also realized how short and young she seemed, but she mainly realized that she was angry and tired. In the end, they were all taken to another room for the banquet, and Catherine sat between Lord Faro and Peverley. Wine is in short supply, but the conversation is poor.

But the good news is that she knew a lot of historical knowledge from Sir Roland. Somerset is only one of the fifteen dukes of Burtania. When the establishment of Burtania, the first king was divided His twelve paladins formed a kingdom composed of thirteen dukes.

Yes, the 13 Dukes, because the later King of Bultania must be crowned by the female prophet of the lady they believe in, not by virtue of territory or anything. Although there may be occasional accidents in the middle, this rule has generally been enforced.

The other two princes, about Aquitaine. The first King of Burtania declared the future Duke of Aquitaine and himself the King of the United Nations in Burtania, although the Dukes of Aquitaine have not been able to exercise this right. But Aquitaine, because of its complicated reasons, is mainly because this territory comes from the wife of the first king, Eleanor Duchess of Aquitaine, so it has maintained its independence since the establishment of Burtania .

As for Lancaster ’s collar, it ’s another matter, but Sir Roland had no chance to elaborate, but he said that whether it was Lancaster or Aquitaine, the Burtanians were unwilling to talk about it. local.

At the end of the banquet, Lord Faro gave a brief, obviously very unwelcome speech detailing Bill Bally's bloodthirsty history and the unexpected absence of Prince Lotaire. Catherine was very curious that the people here seemed to be very reluctant to call Lotel a prince, but rather called him a jazz.

Lord Faro said at the end: "Therefore, we must admit that the small invasion of the Ogborn collar by the Bilberry army was not to conquer Ogborn, and obviously not to conquer Istania, but to Make sure that our two countries are married. Perhaps these soldiers are the key, because even the brave Lord Lothal ... the prince seemed to tremble at the thought of his imminent marriage. "

The ripples of joy swept low across the table. Catherine was ashamed. Peverly was furious. He was supposed to answer on behalf of Catherine, but he did not stand up, his jaw tightened with anger.

Sir Roland glanced at Catherine and stood up. Catherine knew that she should calm him down, but she was irritated by Lord Faro ’s indecent humor and the arrogant eyes of the guests. I didn't even think about why the Duke of Somerset neither received himself nor attended the dinner.

Although she didn't have time to think, she stood up. The people at the banquet were talking. Although some people stopped to see her, many did not. She made up her mind that her voice must be firm and not trembling, but when she looked at the faces of all the people-all of them were older and smarter than her, most of them were men, and most came from Somerset Special-She thinks she is a 16-year-old foreign girl. The worst part was that she could feel Noyes ’eyes on her again. She immediately regretted standing up, but it was too late now.

"At Bill Barry, it was normal for my brother Prince Peverly to answer for me. But I am now entering a new country, a new life, a new marriage-if necessary, in my brother ’s With the help of the troops, although I hope we will not resort to this. "The audience smiled politely and she paused. "My life is about to change dramatically, it's time to speak for myself. Of course, I am very happy to be in Somerset in beautiful Burtania, although I am for the separation of my parents and my beloved Bill Barry Sad. "

Catherine looked around the room and found that the guests were more curious than interested. Is this just a scene where a woman is standing and talking for herself? But now Catherine can't even do it-her mind is blank. A couple sitting behind whispered close together. Catherine needs to attract their attention and let people stand on her side.

That's it, this is the way to win them-the people.

"When I came to you, I was a young woman, but I was sixteen years old. I also came as a princess, the daughter of Dennis Avis, king of Bill Barry."

Now she was surprised to find that she spoke with real pride. "But I am honored to be able to marry your prince. Today I am very happy to see the Kingdom of Burtania for the first time. This place is really a beautiful place. But a kingdom is more than a land and a king. Imagine a boolean A beautiful country like Tania, but no one lives. Send a person to this country. Now call him King. However, this land is nothing special. It is not a kingdom, only a land and a People called kings. But now that those who love their country and their kings fill that land, you have a real kingdom. I know that the people of Burtania love their kings and love Lotel Prince. I have met some of them on my journey here today, and I plan to meet as many of them as possible. The Burtanians are my new home. The Burtanians are my new partners. I leave Bill Pali is still a child of that country, but I continue my journey as a Burtanian who loves her new country. I look forward to living here. So, Cheers to all of its people and for the Boolean Tanya. "

Catherine raised her cup. There was a moment of silence, and then, at the other end of the table, a man stood up, and then one after another, until all the guests stood up for a toast and applause rang throughout the room.

Catherine sat down and Peverly turned to her. "Good speaking, sister. But I don't remember I suggested you do this."

"This is my own view of all this," Catherine replied lightly. "Don't worry about it, brother. In Burtania, in this room, even in my marriage, there seems to be a hostile element. My words can make these people feel better about me than your sad eyes. We do n’t want anything to hinder the wedding, do we? ”

Peverley smiled tensed and stood up and walked away. When he walked out head-on, Sir Roland approached Catherine and escorted her to the hall to the ball.

"Your Highness, I pay tribute to your speech."

"Peverly is not very satisfied with my words." Catherine replied ~ www.NovelMTL.com ~ I suspect he is not very satisfied with Lord Faro. Peverly is a soldier, His Royal Highness, and Lord Faro is not a diplomat. "Sir Roland persuaded.

"And you must be the latter, Sir Roland. My mother mentioned you to me. She said I can trust you."

Sir Roland hesitated for the first time. "I was fortunate to have spent some time in the court of Bill Barry and was absent in the war between the king and Margarita. At that time I saw Her Majesty. She will be proud of you today.

Friendship from the court! Catherine thought thoughtfully: the ambassador must be a truly cautious person. If anyone doubts what is wrong between him and her mother, Sir Roland will not have such a good position now. If her father doubted this, the Sir Roland would not have a head.

"About my speech, I hope to improve it next time. I look forward to your suggestions."

"Of course, Your Highness. That will be my honor." Sir Roland saluted.

"Good. Then tomorrow morning. Is there a quiet place where we can meet?"

"The library is a lovely room. I believe it will be quiet before breakfast." Sir Roland thought for a moment and replied.

"Perfect." Catherine praised.

"But now, I am afraid there is more work to be done here. Many people are eager to be introduced to you. Can I go with you?"

"Of course, Sir Roland."

——

After a long, long time, Catherine fell exhausted on the bed, but she realized she was smiling. She feels that she has achieved some results. She stood up, stood in front of Peverley, gave a speech, and won the applause of her audience. She wore the wrong skirt when doing all this.

Tomorrow, the latter will be corrected.
