Chapter 605 Entering Osenko

The road to Osenko King City was not as smooth as expected.

As soon as we entered Osenko, trouble came one after another.

First of all, there is the problem of roads. Unlike the empire, where Osenko is full of flat roads, in this kingdom, there are mostly small roads made by feet and horse hooves, so that the movement of the convoy suddenly slowed down and became bumpy. .

Secondly, there are few towns where you can stay along the road. Osenko is not developed or wealthy, and the huge convoy cannot obtain sufficient supplies on the road like before. This caused Althea to keep shaking her head and lamenting that this is really barbaric. country of people.

Finally, it was the deliberate attempts by the lords to make things difficult along the way.

Not everyone wants to see a marriage between the two countries.

Although Osenko and the Empire have maintained friendly relations all year round, there are many lords who oppose this marriage. They all understand that once the marriage is established, it means that Osenko is not far away from becoming a vassal of the Empire.

Because of this, the lords were all eyeing this convoy. They either levied a large amount of transit tax, deliberately delayed it, or did not allow them to purchase supplies locally. What's more, they sent people disguised as bandits. Or bandits harass the convoy.

Faced with such rude treatment, the leader of the convoy, the Emperor Paladin, was furious, but he was helpless. He knew very well the significance of the marriage between the two countries and could not tolerate any mistakes.

As she got closer to Osenko King City, the melancholy on Althea's face deepened.

She didn't like this country, and she didn't like marrying a barbarian prince she had never met before. In addition, after entering Osenko, nothing good happened along the way, which aroused her annoyance even more.

"How about you help me find a chance to escape."

One night, Althea found Eden and spoke directly to his face.

Althea's words caught Eden off guard for a moment, and he replied subconsciously:
"Everyone is already here..."

Althea said dissatisfied:
“So what if you come here, can’t you run away?

My father sent me from one cage to another, but the problem was that the other cage was still so dilapidated. "

As he spoke, Althea frowned and complained:

"It's okay to be dilapidated, but the people here are all making things difficult for us, just like feeding a nightingale food that mutilates its throat. Also, the barbarian prince I want to marry looks like a barbarian. "

Eden said softly:
"I have seen his portrait, so I don't think..."

"Whatever the portrait is, it's all been modified! Even if he is really like the portrait, he is still savage at heart, and this cannot be changed."

Althea's face was full of excitement,
"Lord, protect me and don't let me get married like this."

Seeing the excited princess, Eden sarcastically said:

"Do you now know how to pray?"

Althea glanced at him and said quietly:
"I know you are mocking me, feel free to mock me.

After I came to this barbaric country, I realized that before, in Deschanel, I was so blessed that I didn’t know how to be blessed.

After I officially get married, you will also leave, and your sarcasm will become something worth remembering. It has a civilized atmosphere. God, soon, such sarcasm will no longer be heard. "

These words sounded really pitiful. She seemed to be crying when she spoke. This look was so touching that Eden's eyes were attracted to her and she was stunned for a moment.Soon, he reacted and said with relief:

"You ask the Lord for this kind of blessing. How do you want Him to help you, and how can He help you? Do you want Him to perform a miracle for such a trivial matter?"

Althea muttered:
"A trivial matter? Can this be considered a trivial matter? I am the princess of the empire. Haven't you seen that when I got married, the entire empire was celebrating it?"

Eden replied softly:
"There are thousands of princesses in the history of the empire. Doesn't He have to perform a miracle for every princess who doesn't want to get married?"

Althea lamented and lowered her head lonely. She arched her legs and hugged them. Her soft face was pressed against her knees, and light red marks were pressed on the soft flesh.
"Okay, okay...it seems like we can't expect a miracle.

There are savages everywhere here, and one day they may knock down all the churches, and then I will be a martyr.

To be honest, if I want to stay in this country forever, it would be better for me to die.Otherwise, when I get old and can no longer even commit suicide, it will be over by then, and I can only spend every boring day here sadly.Rather than this, it would be better to die. "

The princess's lonely words echoed in the tent. After hearing this, Eden felt no trace of schadenfreude in his heart. On the contrary, inexplicably, he felt a little sympathy for Althea. Perhaps this was Althea's reward for helping him. .

At this time, Althea suddenly raised her head and said nervously,
"'Seriously, let me die, it's better if we die together.'"

Eden was shocked when he heard this.

"Do not make jokes."

Althea chuckled and pressed her face to her knees.
"I'm quoting poetry, don't you hear? Oh, I forgot, you're a boring priest."

Eden breathed a sigh of relief and was silent for a moment. After a long time, he slowly said:

"You tell me this, and honestly, there's nothing I can do for you other than pray for you."

Althea nodded understandingly,
"Oh, that's right.

Well, in memory of our friendship, I will build you a church when I am queen, if I am not dead then, if there is a friendship between us. "

Eden looked at Althea in surprise.

"Why, don't I look like a person who can build a church? Or do I not look like a person who does what he says?"

"This really doesn't look like you..."

"Hey, as the saying goes, when a person is about to die, his words are also good."

"...You're not dead yet."

"When you get married, you die. The carefree Althea before will no longer exist."

After saying this with all her strength, Althea opened her heart slightly and said:
"Just wait. In order to repay you for having fun with me for so many days, this reward is what you deserve."

Eden fell silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.

I have looked directly into this woman's soul. Although she is not extremely evil, she can barely be considered a sinner. However, she is such a sinner who will cheer for murder and will do good deeds and repay her on a whim. It seems that one day she will be able to Becoming a good person, but also seeming to be able to become a bad person one day, everything depends on a thought. This is so freeing. She enjoys this kind of freedom, and many people in the world enjoy this kind of freedom.
