Chapter 355: The Banquet to Welcome the Winter (2)
"My sister, have you seen King Winter?"
Howard had a proud smile on his face.
"I have told you a long time ago what kind of person King Winter is. It is your blessing to marry him. Not to mention becoming a queen, even just a lover is fine. I am afraid that he will not like you."
This time Jessica wholeheartedly agreed with her brother's idea.
It is true that the Winter King most likely despises her.
In terms of background, she is just a princess in the small country of Mayton without any real power. Although she has invented some small objects that are appreciated by the people, she only lets ordinary people know about this princess.
In terms of beauty, she felt that she could not even compare to the little girl serving the Winter King, even though that girl looked younger than her age.
In terms of talent, she can draw a bow, shoot an arrow, and do simple sword moves, but wanting to kill the enemy is undoubtedly a joke. She can only make a joke by performing it at a banquet, and the ministers will say: "Look! Princesses from other countries can
Dancing, but our princess is different, she will chop with a sword like a martial artist!"
She suddenly remembered that she also knew how to play the mouth organ. She carried the organ with her, but she could only play one piece of music.
What a good-for-nothing "princess"
Jessica felt sad about her life.
"Smile! You have to smile!"
Howard's low roar came to my ears.
Jessica only felt a stinging pain in the palm of her hand. It turned out that her brother was pinching her hard.
She broke away from her brother's hand and put on a smile mask again on her face. The maid held her wrist and led her into the banquet hall like a real princess.
"Oh! What a beautiful princess!"
"I like her collar~"
The applause of the ministers came from the banquet hall, but this applause did not show awe for the princess, but more of a comment on a beautiful gift.
Jessica was confused by the strange eyes.
In a daze, she met the eyes of the man sitting in the front seat.
What kind of eyes are those?
Jessica didn't know how to describe it, but at that moment she thought of a lion on the grassland.
"Your Majesty Winter, this is my sister Jessica. There is no more beautiful girl than her in all of Mayton."
Howard stood respectfully in front of the Winter King and bowed, as if the Winter King was the master of the Mayton Empire. After that, he pulled Jessica in front of him and presented her as a gift.
Pushed to the throne of King Winter.
Xiwei looked up and down at the princess of the Mayton Empire.
Her silver smoke-like long hair is draped softly behind her head, slightly curled at the end; her purple eyes are like crystal grapes; her nose is straight, her lips are warm, and her skin is silky and fair; she is still childish, but has a beautiful appearance.
The waist is slender, but the chest is proudly erect.
From all aspects, she is indeed a rare beauty.
It's a pity that the princess just glanced at him and lowered her head.
He seemed to be afraid of him.
He has a timid personality and is afraid of strangers.
Is such a person really suitable to be a pawn in his hands to control the Mayton Empire?
For the first time, Xiwei doubted Aarons's judgment.
"Your sister is beautiful."
Xiwei gave a half-hearted compliment and looked away from Jessica. This attitude made Howard feel bad. He thought that the Winter King must look down on his sister. Then, after that
How could he ask King Winter for help?
"Look up!" Howard gave Jessica a threatening look.
His fists were clenched hard, veins popped out, and his eyes began to fill with murderous intent that horrified Jessica.
She could only raise her head.
Try to keep a bright smile.
"Your Majesty Winter, Jessica is just a little shy. After all, she is seeing such a heroic figure like you..." Howard smiled dryly, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the girl next to King Winter staring at a plate of roast chicken and salivating. He seemed to have suddenly found a breakthrough, and said with a smile:
"Now that everyone is here, let's start the banquet. This banquet is for our Majesty the Winter to wash away the dust!"
The music in the banquet hall became cheerful and exciting again, and the servants began to serve the dishes prepared in advance one by one.
Roast meats, pies, cakes, fruit salads, and a whole fish feast, which is a specialty of Mayton...
These delicious foods are so dazzling that Kangnai is already dazzled by them.
Jessica was arranged on the left side of the Winter King, sitting opposite Kang Nai.
There was a stiff smile on her face, her two little hands were clasped together, her body was sitting upright, and the focus of her eyes had already flown to nowhere.
"Keep smiling," she said to herself.
It's the only thing she can do now.
After three rounds of drinking.
Howard, who was both a foodie and a drinker, was already blushing, and his courage had grown a lot under the influence of alcohol. He stood up and toasted the Winter King with a glass of wine, and then said:
"Your Majesty Winter, the Merton Empire is only a small country, far less vast than the Winter Empire, which is vast and rich in resources. Please forgive me if there is any lack of care."
Xiwei knew that the main event was coming, so he followed Howard's words:
"King Mayton, there is no need to be humble. You have done a good job and I can feel your sincerity."
"Your Majesty Winter," Howard's expression suddenly became sad and decadent.
He put the wine glass on the table, swayed back to his seat, and said with a sad face:
"I respect heroes like you, and I am willing to let the entire Mayton follow your leadership... But not everyone in the Mayton Empire thinks this way. I think that after you leave, I may not be able to continue. At your service."
"Why do you say that?" Xiwei pretended not to know.
"That's because there are rebels who want to seize the throne!" Howard clenched his fists with both hands and gritted his teeth:
"My father is dead, and no one can suppress them. They see me as just a prince who can be bullied. They will send their troops north at any time. When the dynasty changes, these greedy people will not only stop serving you, but will also take you away." Consider it a thorn in your side and a thorn in your flesh!"
When the conversation changed, Howard bowed to the end and pleaded with Seavey:
"Your great Majesty Winter, I am willing to dedicate the most beautiful princess of Merton to you. I do not expect her to become your queen, even if she is just a slave and maid, letting you kill and kill me. I only ask that you can use your army to attack those evildoers. Rebel, this way I can continue to serve your Winter Empire in the future."
Hearing this, Xiwei subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Jessica.
The princess who was used as a political bargain was sitting there with her head held high like a sculpture.
There was still a smile on her face.
But that smile is full of sadness and pain no matter how you look at it.
Don't you want to be a victim?
Xiwei touched his chin.
If this princess looks like she's trying to make ends meet or is flattering.
He would not hesitate to give up training her as a pawn in his hands.
But now it's reached this point.
The princess was still resisting silently.
Although timid, at least he is determined.
