Chapter 17: Gift rose

The high platform instantly became the focus.
The queen’s lover and the queen’s fiancé’s brother in the rumors quarreled in public.
Things are extra subtle.
If you refuse Prince Arthur, it is tantamount to offending their new ally. But on the other hand, Dalton, as the Queen’s newly promoted Imperial Marshal and a loyal supporter in the face, if he refuses him, people will have to think more about loyalty to the Queen in the future-if the lord cannot give his followers dignity and glory, Will lose the qualification to be supported.
Eyes gathered on the queen, with scrutiny.
Adele knew it well.
The previous rebellion, of course, was because most people had difficulty accepting a woman to rule the empire, but it was more out of contempt and distrust. She is too young, and it is difficult for those shrewd and sleek nobles to believe that she has old and spicy political skills.
Her every move will be amplified, and then repeatedly measured.
No mistakes.
In everyone's gaze, Adele always had a slight smile on his face.
She took off the silk ribbon embroidered with the rose pattern with gold thread from her wrist, then walked down the last step and placed the silk ribbon in Prince Arthur's hands: "I sincerely hope that you will be blessed by the goddess of luck. As I earnestly hope, the friendship between Rutte and Roland will last."
Dalton slowly straightened up and watched without saying a word. The other hand holding the rider/gun suddenly clenched under the iron glove.
Prince Arthur tied the silk ribbon on his wrist with a bright smile: "You are my goddess of luck. There is nothing like your encouragement and smile to teach people to go through fire and water."
When the queen put the ribbon into Prince Arthur's hands, the faces of the messengers of the Ruth Empire showed a smile, and the expressions of the nobles and officials of Roland became a little complicated. Some people breathed a sigh of relief, and some said nothing. , Some people are angry.
But before the whispers on Roland's seat became louder, Adele turned and walked towards Dalton.
Dalton's armor had a dazzling, bright line on the edge.
He generally uses fire/guns, and the nobles often laughed at him for
doing nothing about what a knight should have. Once he drops the iron pipe, even a nine-year-old can use a wooden stick to lift him off the horse.
But today he Replied fiercely to the mockery-even if it was thrown two hundred years earlier, he could still smash a path from the thousands of troops on the battlefield.
Some are born into war.
The queen raised her hand, took a rose-shaped brooch made of gold and rubies from her shoulder, and handed it to Dalton: "Are you willing to accept this coat of arms?"
Her voice was soft and gentle.
Among all the knights on the scene, almost everyone had a distinctive coat of arms on their cloak and armor. Except for Dalton, his cloak was as dark as night, and although his armor was dazzling, but without embellishment-this was a bright reminder to everyone, even if he was canonized by the queen as a knight and became the marshal of the empire, his The foundation is still humble.
A commoner biting into the aristocracy.
But the queen gave him a rose pin and said, "Will you accept this coat of arms?" Then things became completely different.
The coat of arms of the Roland family is the cross sword and the rose.
After the queen was crowned, she used the red rose as her personal symbol. Today, the Queen gives Rose to Dalton, which means that she accepts the Dalton family-if Dalton can take root in the empire-as a royal affiliated family.
Under this meaning, no one can say that the queen gave Prince Arthur a blessing first, which was a contempt for Dalton.
Dalton took the rose pin and put it on his shoulder.
As he kissed his hand to show his gratitude, Adele's lips moved slightly, and he said a word in a low voice without notice.
It took Dalton a moment to straighten up.
The rose worn on the shoulder was burning like a fire, burning his muscles, his bones, and the nerve of his reason through the iron armor. It should have been the blazing heat of total happiness, but the Queen's words that only the two of them could hear made the fire of joy equally dangerous.
Both happy and angry.
……………………
"What do you think?"
As the Minister of State, Heinrich is the one closest to the Queen except Prince Arthur.
Adele crossed his fingers and put his arms on the armrests, watching the situation in the competition venue.
Dalton and Prince Arthur entered the arena from two different entrances after going around the arena. This is so far the highest weighted competition between the two sides of the contest. Any one of them will suffer a series of turbulence if any real fatal injury is suffered.
For this reason, before the game, the attendants of both sides had to be very careful to check whether their armors fit tightly.
When the ceremonial officer announced the start of the competition, the horse galloped up, the dust rolled under the horse's hooves, and the cloak flew like waves.
"Emperor Rutte should consider letting his brother be a general instead of an artist." Adele said, "He has a good brush and a good gun and sword."
"Who do you think is stronger?" Heinrich asked.
This question is actually a bit strange, he is like certain that the queen can keenly distinguish the subtle power gap between the two sides of the contest.
Under normal circumstances, the ladies and ladies, although they love to see the duel, but in fact, few are really proficient in this.
Adele Rowland is different.
She is a real "Roland".
With the cross sword and rose as the coat of arms of the Roland family, Adele has perfectly inherited all the notable symbols of this family. Although she is a woman, she is proficient in military affairs and has a good understanding of various weapons. She has always been very accurate in judging the strength of opponents.
When she was fourteen years old, she was accused of murdering her father by witchcraft and was banished for three years.
Although the exile of the royal family is not as tragic as the civilians, the location of the reef castle that Adele obtained is extremely dangerous and is often harassed by pirates. In order to ensure that the princess can survive unexpected accidents, he began to teach Adele the lessons that belonged to the prince.
Riding, sword and archery.
Limited by physique, it was difficult for Adele to use a heavy sword, but at that time her crossbow was in full swing. It's just that she obeyed his advice and after returning to the court after ending her exile, she never used bow and arrow in front of others.
In the past, Heinrich also felt that she had completely abandoned the bow and arrow, but now he doesn't think so.
The world only saw the rose, but did not find the sharp blade hidden under the rose petal.
"Dalton." Adele replied simply and neatly, "He is a war knife tempered from blood and a corpse. After all, Prince Arthur is different from him."
Heinrich wanted to ask her a little, how do you compare me to Dalton?
You must be the best knight, sir.
If I can go back, do you mind if the Heinrich family's coat of arms has an extra rose and a double-headed snake?
When she was sixteen, Princess Adele was sitting on the black rock by the sea. Her exile made her a lot thinner, and her loose white dress was blown behind by the sea breeze. She was sitting there, like an elegant ghost orchid growing on a rock. Firm, sincere, and hopeful...the young princess at that time.
When he heard "the rose and the double-headed snake as a company", he clearly heard his heartbeat in the thunderous wave.
Later, he realized that the princess' words were just grateful, not the one he reacted first.
It was a long time ago, and the princess had only said it once, and he had never mentioned it. For a long time, he felt that he had forgotten.
But when the rose originally promised to him was worn on the shoulder of another man, the sound of the tide of the Rose Strait returned, and the breath was full of sea breeze.
"It seems that you believe Mr. Dalton is going to win."
Heinrich said softly, feeling that the snake in his heart began to bite again. Its teeth were sharp, and the venom of jealousy and bitterness gushed from the heart and rushed in every blood vessel of the body. He tried to make his voice calm.
"I'm afraid the face of the Ruth Empire won't look good."
"Do not."
Adele's tone was chillingly cold.
"He will lose."
……………………
The horses were noisy, and the shouts of the audience were deafening.
Dalton and Prince Arthur quickly charged each other after the initial trial.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer, and Dalton's face behind his helmet is getting colder and colder.
In the king's tent, Prince Arthur was sitting next to the queen; in the studio, the queen leaned over to watch Prince Arthur's paintings, and they talked intimately, with the same dignity and elegance. In front of the high platform, the queen took the lead in putting the silk ribbon in Prince Arthur's hands...All the pictures gathered together, and each one mocked his lingering brand of birth.
All the pictures and sounds converged, condensed into the killing intent on the tip of the gun.
He can win.
If he wins, he can arrogantly announce to everyone that the nobility is nothing more than that in front of ordinary people.
Prince Arthur is a difficult opponent, but the opponent's real fangs are in the dark.
Frontal charge is the world of soldiers. When the opponent stabs his shield, he will let the opponent fall from the horse in embarrassment, and the fall must be raised by someone.
He can do it.
but……
"I gave you a rose, do you want to return me a bitter thorn?"
The queen standing on the high platform seemed to see through all the violence in his heart. He said this to him when he kissed the back of her hand.
Prince Arthur is the younger brother of Emperor Root, and he represents Emperor Root in Roland. He lost face in the duel, which is equivalent to the loss of face of Emperor Rutte. At the moment when it is necessary to fight the Yage Kingdom together, the Queen must ensure that allies will not be grudges.
more importantly……
Emperor Rutte will be her husband.
Let the dignity of the future husband be frustrated, and no sensible lady would do it. For the wife, it will be a bitter thorn that will scratch the throat.
Damn Root! Damn Jager!
The rose pins on the shoulders burned like flames, burning muscles and bones through the armor.
