New Eternal Day

Chapter 86
The crisp sound of slaps sounded in the inner palace of King Hierro, and the maid who was holding the gold cup on the side couldn't help but swayed when she heard the sound, but she stabilized.

Ed's left face immediately showed red marks of finger marks, two of which were due to the heavy hand, the ring cut through his pale cheek, and fine blood beads leaked out.

Ed's originally lowered head lifted up, and his eyes met the furious Dereus.

"I've always been not smart, I don't understand tactics, I won't say it, and the swordsmanship has also regressed? The skills are not as good as others, and I have to fight with others in the most prosperous place in the center of the city. In the end, I even let people run away... I Your face is about to lose you."

"Anyway, my father's face has never been placed on me... Rich should be in the city today. He can solve this, but I hope you can remember occasionally that I am your eldest son."

After all, Ed walked away without looking back, leaving behind a stunned Dereus, looking down at his swollen right hand, as if this was Ed's first time talking back.

There are really too few memories of Ed, it seems that he has grown into a man inadvertently.

Drius motioned for his follower to come over, "Go check the girl Ed is following in the market, I need to know before evening..."

Jumeirah saw Ed's eyes full of tears and strode back to the bedroom with red eyes.

Ed is not a person who is good at disguising. Although he is usually aggressive and speaks viciously, there are not many times when he is so angry. Jumeirah can see that it has something to do with King Hierro without a wink.

He was hesitating whether or not to treat Eddie's injuries. Although Eddie often ignored her as a princess, he never touched her.

Every time he saw her bruised nose and face being beaten by Lei, Ed would occasionally sneer:

"I'm just wondering, how did you become my princess with your ability? Father really has an eye problem!"

One of the things that surprised Jumeirah was that the people from his family's family, Pizza Bay, believed in the rumors, thinking that Eddard often abused him, and went to the Palace of Hierro to discuss it. Eddard did not expose Lei, but carried it on his back. black pot.

Ed swore in front of her family that she would be good to her and would not do such things that hurt the relationship between husband and wife again. He said it vividly and sincerely.

Jumeirah didn't understand, she couldn't understand.How does this benefit him?
This is not to confirm the rumors of his violence, but he obviously did nothing, and practiced his swordsmanship like an ascetic every day, but Jumeirah had to admit that talent was such a thing.

Compared with Anta, Ed is indeed almost mean, and it is not the current Anta, but the Anta in Jumeirah's impression when he was a student.

Later, Jumeirah's maiden family left, and Ed had talked to her. It was Jumeirah's impression that Ed and her had spoken the most words.

"Lei is a person who can't be easily moved. She's not ordinary on the royal family's side... Do you understand? If you have any thoughts in your mind, I advise you to give up immediately, it's not good to have a relationship with her... Now take some flesh. The suffering is really nothing, she wants your life very simply...I am an unloved son...I can't save you, Jumeirah, you can do it yourself."

……

Jumeirah's thoughts were interrupted by a low whimper in Ed's room, the sound of collapse.

Derieus has always been very strict with Ed, and hardly gives a second chance to do things, but today seems to be different from usual, Jumeirah sighed and took the medicine and walked over.

In this palace, she has not much role to play.

She walked over without a word, and opened Ed's struggling hand to clean up the scars on his face. This time Ed unexpectedly didn't dodge.

Tears seeped into the scratches on his face, and the sting made the injured area even more red and swollen, and Ed's whole body softened a lot.

The cooling ointment calmed Ed.

The two of them didn't talk much, and neither of them were the type to take the initiative to provoke a topic. Ed didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly said:
"why?"

Jumeirah's medicine hand trembled.

"what?"

"Why do you treat me so badly, am I not his son?"

"You are, but people always expect too much from good things."

"good?"

Ed turned his head and looked at her puzzled, and when he got closer, Jumeirah realized that Ed's eyelashes were long and the eye sockets were deep.

Jumeirah turned his head unnaturally and said:
"You are his first child, which is a beautiful thing in itself. Naturally, you have initial expectations for you, but whether you want to fulfill these expectations or not depends on yourself and whether you want to do it or not."

Ed obviously did not expect that Jumeirah would say this, retracting his eyes and loosening his neck.

Jumeirah went on to say:
"Actually, you don't need to care so much about your father's opinion. Of course it's good for him to value you. It doesn't really matter if he doesn't value you. After all, your value is not defined by him. In fact, I always wanted to say it but dare not say it. ...I think you are a little mythical about your father, but in fact he is just an ordinary person, and he also has his own preferences and partiality..."

Ed's eyes glanced, and Jumeirah immediately shut up and didn't dare to say anything.

"You're quite able to say it, it's like a piece of wood in normal clothes."

"I used to be quite stupid. I learned it from a friend of mine. She never allowed herself to have misunderstandings with others. She must say it, and apologize if she is wrong, and she is not afraid of shame."

"The friend you're talking about is the white girl! If you can gather such a group of people, even Colin would help her secretly. That person named Ruo Si is not ordinary."

Jumeirah was silent and did not speak, Ed looked at her and asked:

"You're not angry with me? Give me treatment."

"I was angry at first. I think we made a marriage contract. Lei is so arrogant. If you don't help me, you will laugh at me. Later, you will not be angry, because you also have a burden to bear, and being with me is also worth it. You didn't do it willingly, and you told me last time that Lei was not easy to mess with, so I was relieved."

Ed looked down at the toes of his boots, and after a while, he said slowly:

"I don't regret marrying you. I have known my situation for a long time. There is no choice in Hierro City. It is you that my father and I asked for, so you were made a duchess by exception. I am indifferent to you because you used to You are Bai Yaonv's close confidant. There are too many people who suspect that you are lurking in the Royal Palace of Hierro. As for Lei... Only Colin and I know about this matter. I will only tell you that she is with my father. ...but not the child."

Jumeirah finally knew what the "uncommon" that Ed had said about Ray was uncommon.

"How do you know that the child is not...?"

"My father asked me to check. He was too embarrassed to trouble Colin about these things. He didn't care about his image in my heart at all... It's really not, it's ironic."

Ed took a breath, and eased his expression rarely.

"After talking about the conversation, I feel much better. Just now, my chest was very tight and I was very sad. This feeling may be sad."

"It's fine."

"Actually, I've always wanted to ask you, do you think my swordsmanship is good, or do you think Anhe is good?"

"Anta."

"...At least hesitate for a moment, eh? Isn't it me who is engaged to you?"

"Then...you?"

"It's too perfunctory, you hurry back to your room, don't let me see you..."

Ed pushed her to the door, but there was a long-lost smile on his lips that he didn't even notice.




　Anta: Are you polite?
