At night, crying and weeping, in the garden near the palace, Alice sat on the grass and wept alone.

"Father, are you going to do this? Am I not your daughter?weishenme, do you have the idea of marrying me to that person?" Tears rippled, and at this moment Alice felt so lonely, this palace was so indifferent.

The night breeze was gentle, and the only moonlight in the sky shone on the face of the seventeenth with the wind, and the thoughts of this day did not make him think clearly, but fell into a dilemma. Athena was angry, although she hadn't made a formal decision yet, but her thoughts in her heart had undoubtedly caused great harm to her wife. Having just lost her son, and now she is about to send her daughter away from her side, how can she not be heartbroken as a mother? The seventeenth did not dare to go back to the room to face her, but although it was late at night, he preferred to walk in the garden more.

The sound of crying reached his ears, and the seventeenth looked over and looked at the obscured figure in the flower garden: "What person?"

The crying stopped, and Alice stood up from the flowerbed.

"Alice. You ......"

Alice wiped away her tears and ran away, she had never wanted to run away as much as she did now, she had never wanted to see her father so much as she did now.

"Alice, Alice......" The seventeenth called twice, but he couldn't call back his daughter, and his heart moved: "Ah~......! Does she already know?"

The figure of the daughter disappeared into his eyes, and the seventeenth heart was like a knife: "Am I wrong......? Am I too cruel?" At this moment, he only felt that his heart was so painful and regretful.

The pace of running is a vent that she doesn't want to stop, and the tears that she wiped away are falling again, Alice doesn't want to stop, she doesn't want to stop, she wants to let the wind blowing through her ears take away the pain in her heart, but in exchange for an emotion that can't be suppressed. Finally she fell to her knees and began to cry loudly. Crying so sadly, so sad.

"Ah, princess!"

The cry induced the guards in the palace: "Princess. What's wrong with you?"

Alice only remembered crying, only crying, and nothing made her vent her pain more than crying.

Hal walked over to Alice and crouched down, "Princess, what's going on. weishenme makes you so sad?"

Alice didn't answer, and didn't want to pay attention.

Hal waved his hand to dismiss his subordinates, helped Alice and said, "It's cold princess." It's cold underground, I'll help you up. Do you want me to tell Bixia if there's something. ”

"Nope. Alice didn't want to get up, but stopped him: "Let me cry, I want to cry for a while." ”

Hal let go of his hand and stepped aside.

After a long time, Alice was tired of crying, and her voice gradually became quieter. When he turned around, he found Hal still beside him: "Why are you still here?" ”

"I'm worried about the princess. Hal said.

"Worried about what?" Alice lowered her head, "I'm fine." ”

"The princess doesn't look like she's fine. Hal walked to the side and squatted down and asked, "Princess, I am guarding the palace, I have been in the palace for so many years, and today is the first time I have seen the princess cry so sadly." ”

"I ......"

Hal said, "Princess, although I am only a guard. But if the princess doesn't mind, if there's anything sad to tell me, I'll be a very wrong person to confide in. ”

Alice looked at him with tears in her eyes, and lowered her head again: "I...... I feel betrayed, and my father wants to marry me to the king of the land of Gripen. ”

Hal sat beside him and was taken aback: "Is that the guy with four scars on his eyes, who is thirty or forty years old? I saw him today." ”

Alice nodded.

"It's hard to imagine that Bixia would make such a decision. But Bixia must have done this for a reason. ”

"Why?haha, what's the ridiculous reason to sell even your own daughter. I can't think of it, I can't think of it!" Alice smiled bitterly and desolately.

Hal shook his head: "I have been in the palace for so many years, I see every bit of Bixia's love for the princess, Bixia is by no means a ruthless person, and as a father, I don't think he has any reason to sacrifice his daughter's happiness." But ......"

"But what?"

"But as a father, I don't, but as a king of a country, I have this reason. ”

"What did you say!?" Hearing this, Alice was angry, angry!

"I said that as the king of a country, Bixia has a reason to sacrifice the happiness of her children. Hal said without hesitation or flinching: "Maybe such words should not come from my mouth, but I have seen you grow up since I was a child, princess, and some words are not unpleasant." Because His Royal Highness Veronka was designated as the crown prince early, you have always lived a carefree life, princess, and you don't know the hardships of being a king. Does the princess really think that the king of a superpower is really so good? What has kept the country strong and stable? I can say that a parent who truly loves his children, and none of them are willing to let their children lose their happiness and be hurt, and because of this, I can better understand the pain of Bixia when she marries the princess to the king of the Gripen. Bixia is the princess's father and the monarch of the country, and first the monarch and then the father. His responsibilities are not like ordinary parents, as long as he takes care of his family and children, he also has to take care of the country and his people first. ”

Hal continued: "I didn't know that King Bixia Weishenme had the idea of marrying a princess, but Bixia had such an idea, and it must be for the best interests of the country to make the last resort choice. If he can't put the interests of the country first and put his feelings and family above the country, then what's the point of us people swearing to defend the country and protect the palace!?"

A sonorous and powerful sentence that went straight to Alice's heart, she had never heard such words, and she had never thought of such a truth. She was confused and froze, she didn't know if this statement was true, but it undoubtedly shook her heart.

Har Dao: "The country, billions of people worship the royal family, provide for this country, we, ordinary citizens, defend the royal power of Bixia with our lives. What Bixia shoulders is the expectations of the people of the whole country, and his heart is filled with the interests of the whole country. If he fails these expectations and betrays the king's duty, I will only say one thing, what qualifications does such a king have to be worthy of my allegiance?"

Although Alice was shocked by Hal's words, she still couldn't accept the reality: "Should you sacrifice your daughter in order to take care of the country and its people? I can't always agree with this notion. If you can't even take care of your family, how can you take care of the country......" As he spoke, he couldn't cry again.

"What's the best of both worlds. Hal looked at the grass in front of him and smiled bitterly: "If there is really a very haode choice on shijie, then there won't be so much helplessness." If there were a way to get the best of both worlds for everything on shijie, there wouldn't be so many people who are separated from each other and sad. There are many things that are no more haode, and all you can do is to strive for the best results in the worst. In short, I believe that Bixia really made this decision, it must be for the good of the empire, and I believe him. ”

"You ......"

"Princess!" Hal raised his voice to her, "After the murder of His Royal Highness Veronka, rumors have spread in the palace that you will be appointed princess. Your Royal Highness Princess, you should understand that the teaching of a country's monarch to ordinary princes and princesses is completely different from the cultivation of the country's future successors. The prince and princess can be carefree and can be a noble royal family to their heart's content, but the crown prince has to face the ruthlessness and cruelty of reality, I think Bixia has cultivated the princess as the future crown prince. If there is such a day, this is the reality that a monarch should bear. ”

Alice's body shook and almost fell.

Hal collected his mood, got up again and said, "Princess, it's cold on the ground, I'll send you back and think about it slowly." ”

Alice was stunned, speechless, and left as if she had lost her soul, escorted by the guards.

Sensibility and rationality, family affection and interests, different people are destined to make different decisions. In this position, when you are embraced by all the people and enjoy an unparalleled life of luxury, you decide that something is going to be lost.

In the room, the seventeenth emperor was in a difficult situation, but he did not waver in the cultivation of the future successor of the country. Whoever it is, there is always a child who should take on this responsibility, and it is imperative for him to live the rest of his life.

"Alice is the perfect person, and she is destined to sacrifice for the sake of her future support. The Seventeenth Generation's confused eyes became clear, and he had already made up his mind: "In order to let his daughter grow up faster, in order to let her get rid of her previous innocence, it is time for her to face the cruelty of the king!" He narrowed his eyes, and what was already in his mind was a calculation for the future: "Judging from that letter, the 'Creation Kingship' seems to dominate the country of the Divine Lion Eagle, and they have the intention to provoke a war between the Holy and Demon Countries, and even Shijie, and they will inevitably become a threat to Shijie in the future." Threat represents danger, danger represents opportunity, and the letter I got is an opportunity, how can I not seize such an opportunity? Whether it is for the future of Alice or for the future of the empire, this is an opportunity that cannot be missed. If she wants to marry, Alice must marry her, and what she has gained in exchange for sacrifice will be a great gain, and her throne will be stable in the future, and she will not be shaken by the powerful like St. Vicia. It's time to train her, alas~!"

A sigh, a sadness. used to love, but in exchange for this moment of ruthlessness. Whose sorrow is it to make such a decision......
