only god

Chapter 642 I am learning to sympathize
The four-day hunting came to an end soon, and it was obvious that the Osenko envoys who came from afar were not satisfied with the results of the tournament.

At many banquets, the count who came to receive the princess mentioned in front of others more than once that the results of the competition were unfair and that the warriors of Osenko did not receive the rewards they deserved. The three places made insinuations and asked the princess to allow the knights headed by Buz to swear allegiance.

However, most of the count's requests were ignored or perfunctory.

This royal clan member named Karason was very dissatisfied with this, but he had no choice but to write all this in a letter and report it back to His Majesty the King, accusing the Deschanel people of hypocrisy and injustice.

Although Bright was worried about this and tried to persuade Althea to allow the group of Osenko knights to swear allegiance, he was clearly opposed by the princess.

"Since I can't be the master in my marriage, do I have to be a slave in this matter?"

Althea replied coldly.

These words left Bright speechless. No matter how big the fuss made by a group of knights swearing allegiance, it would not affect the relationship between the two countries. Compared with diplomacy, this was more like a private matter, and as a servant of the emperor, he , how can you force the emperor's daughter to get involved in the princess's private affairs? This is really arrogant.

As a result, Earl Karason's request to be knighted was ignored. In fact, even if the princess really allowed the group of Osenko knights to swear allegiance, the Deschanels in the motorcade would not admit it. In their minds, , the night watchman who protects the princess is the real knight.

"The convoy is leaving tomorrow, what are your thoughts?"

Calling Eden to her tent through the bell, Althea asked while writing something with a quill.

"Are we going to join King Osenko's army in the next town?"

Eden asked.

Althea nodded slightly,

"At that time, the barbarian king will greet us personally, and his heir will greet the imperial carriage in the royal city.

God, although I hate this barbarian kingdom, in fact, the king is not a bad person. I have met him when I was a child. He is polite, affable, and has the demeanor of a Deschanel noble.I don't dislike this uncle, but I don't like his son and I don't like this marriage. "

Her Royal Highness has never stopped complaining about this kingdom and this marriage.

Does Althea really hate this country?There are some.She desperately wants to return to Deschanel, but can she really live the life she wants if she goes back?Not too possible.After this marriage was ruined, the emperor would still arrange the next marriage for her, and she would still have to bid farewell to her carefree life and die in a political marriage.She didn't completely hate this country, nor was she so eager to return to Deschanel. She just didn't like so many constraints. Eden could see these things.

"Hey, what were you thinking?"

Althea turned her face and asked.

"No, nothing."

Eden replied.

"No matter what, I will try my best to get out of this marriage. As for my father's plan, I don't care."

Althea said to herself.

After a while, she thought of something and asked:
"What's going on with the Fahora sect?"

"According to Timian, Faholah himself should be in the royal city. I should be able to find more clues when I get there."

"We must find evidence that proves they are heretics."

Althea waved her fist and said,

"When we get to the royal city, I will fully assist you. Believe me, traveling among those nobles has always been my specialty."

Eden thought for a while and felt that Althea was right.

The influence of the Fahora sect has now penetrated deep into the high-level officials of this kingdom, and with my own status, it is somewhat difficult to get along well among those high-level officials.

......................................................

The convoy began to break camp and set off toward the next city, where the Deschanelites were to meet the king of Osenko.

When the princess got married, she was personally greeted and protected by the king of Osenko. Everyone could see that the king's mind was determined and no one could offend her.

Therefore, during this short stretch of road, the team encountered a lot less difficulties and obstacles. It can be said that the journey was smooth and smooth.

But just as the convoy was about to arrive, the accident happened again.

This time the obstacle did not come from the nobles.In front of the long motorcade, a group of farmers holding rakes and sickles somehow rushed out of the farmland on both sides and stopped the motorcade with shouts.

"what's the situation?"

Althea was alarmed and poked her head out of the car window curiously.

I saw a dark group of farmers standing on the road, blocking the way of the convoy. They all had solemn faces and frowned, and they remained unmoved despite being driven away by Deschanel's soldiers with spears.

"Your Highness, they are just a bunch of ignorant Osenko people."

An officer reported back diligently,
"It will be driven away soon."

Althea did not retract her head into the carriage. She leaned out a little and looked at the scene in front of the motorcade attentively.

Facing the pressing steps of Deschanel's soldiers, the farmers did not retreat at all. They raised their hands high, holding various weapons, and their eyes seemed to be on fire, shouting "We are not satisfied." We won’t leave if you ask for it!”

"any request?"

Althea asked.

"Some superstitious requirements, you know, they are all pagans and believe in other gods, such as gods of agriculture, gods of fauns and so on."

The officer replied vaguely.

Seeing this, Althea threatened:

"Are you trying to deal with me, the emperor's daughter? Why don't you dare to speak clearly?
They are a group of farmers, but they are not a group of fools. The reason why they risked their lives to stop the convoy must be because they wanted something, but you deliberately deceived me and deceived me, so that my eyes could not penetrate the dark clouds and could not see them. The pain, if my father's subordinates were all people like you, then the empire would be completely finished. It would no longer enjoy power and would never be able to rule the world! "

Althea's words were so serious that the officer trembled and hurriedly bowed and said:

"Your Highness, how dare I lie to you! They, they are against your marriage. They ask you to return to the empire because... because their farmland is haunted!"

Althea was a little confused.

What does the haunted farmland have to do with getting married?
The officer went on to explain:
"They say that several people died in their farmland this month, and they attribute this to the wrath of the gods, because you have incurred the dissatisfaction of the gods by getting married."

"I see."

Althea thought for a while and said:
"Tell Brett to comfort them first and treat them well.

Then, let my knight go and see, he knows the things between gods best. "

..........................................

"They stopped the convoy because the farmland was haunted?"

Eden asked confusedly after being called to Althea's carriage.

"Yes, this requires you to go, good priest... no, good knight."

Althea explained briefly, and then persuaded in a moving tone,
"Each of them has lived a hard life, and now they are haunted by ghosts. I sympathize with them."

Eden stared at Althea suspiciously.

"how,

I do feel for them..."

Althea said so.

Seeing Eden still staring at her, Althea avoided his gaze and changed her words:

“I’m learning to empathize with them and have compassion for their pain.”

Eden nodded, this was the Althea he knew.

"Then... I'll go with Father Verdot."
