Chapter 867 Departure ([-])

Eagle Law's Hundred Years' War wrote a thick volume of facsimile history. In the description of the entire chapter and paragraph, Mercedes only saw conspiracy, politics and war. When she closed the book, the epic tragic Emotions are like the sudden rise of sea water in the Atlantic Ocean, which cannot be seen, but it does submerge her island-like soul.

Mercedes put down the thick scroll of history in her hands. This is what she is currently doing in the Kremlin. As a princess who has reached her age, what she is doing is to become familiar with the history of the Eagle Empire, and gradually start from her own. Grandma got part of the understanding of the country and the things she knew. She was moving, but she became silent for a while. The whole Kremlin is beautiful and beautiful, but she only cares about carrying these eagle empires on her back every day. In terms of history and encyclopedias, perhaps this is the period of transformation from a girl to a mature royal family that my grandmother once experienced, and slowly learned to grow up.

She is an internationally renowned model. In the past, she was only accompanied by flashlights and a catwalk, but now Mercedes is surrounded by a huge sea of ​​books on the bookshelves, and the sunlight coming in from the small pane windows outside. The dust and gold-plated spots, together with the musty smell of the surrounding books in the air, and the faintly yellow light, constituted the world in front of her.

Her feet were on the table, but her body was leaning on the sofa. She was the only one in the entire Kremlin library. If the Eagle Queen came in and saw her sitting like this, the heartbeat of the custody would be several orders of magnitude higher, but Messer Daisy is not worried at all about being seen by her grandmother without the slightest ladylike appearance, because the current Eagle Queen is handling today's government affairs in Jingjin Han Palace.

From time to time, footsteps could be heard from the long corridor leading to the library, but no one would come in to disturb Mercedes in the library, so the footsteps outside seemed distant and lonely, especially in such an empty and quiet place. In the environment, there was a dim yellow light filtered by the streaky ceiling above her head, and the warm atmosphere around her made Mercedes feel sleepy like a lazy cat.

She used to hate reading, hating writing, hating listening to lectures, hating studying and a series of things that made her calm down. She liked the light of the camera and flashlight, she liked the voices of many cheers, and she liked other people saying "I love you!" The kind of blood-boiling feeling, like the feeling of being surrounded by everyone and being valued by others.But now she has changed a lot. She began to like to be alone, to write, read, and listen to music alone in the theater.

She sometimes wonders if it is because she has discovered some precious things in life that even if she encounters an ordinary scenery, she can still stop and watch it for a long time, as if looking at the surrounding pictures from afar , the heart will fill the emptiness and be filled with emotions like charging.

Or she herself found that she lacked some precious things of vitality, so she began to learn to cherish the more ordinary things around her, and learned to discover the beauty that they revealed inadvertently.

Mercedes lay flat quietly, letting the dust in the air slowly fall on her body, like feathers of falling dust, approaching her body one by one, staying on it eternally and still.

Maybe growing up sometimes takes ten years, sometimes it takes 20 years, and sometimes, only a short period of time is enough.

God is always fair, he let everyone experience something, and let everyone learn to grow up.And Mercedes knew that it was time for her to grow up. She was the princess of the Eagle Empire, and she was doomed to live an extraordinary life. She was born with responsibilities, and she was doomed to bear this identity. Going on, she actually has no choice, she actually can't tolerate her own decision.She has seen too much history recorded in books, and she also knows that in the vortex with the country as the background, any personal feelings are small and have nothing to rely on, so if she wants to grow up, she must learn to endure these beings. Needle-pricked pain, we must learn to bear these helplessness, no sorrow.

Sometimes in her heart, she would hate a person very much, so hated that sometimes she would grit her teeth, and in her dreams would ask him to kneel down and let herself kick twice, but every time she woke up from the dream, her hatred disappeared without a trace trace.

"It's just a dream." Mercedes would always comfort herself like this, and then fell asleep again.

what. ?You were attacked halfway by many masters? The quill in Duke Stoke's hand dropped, and two drops of ink splashed on the document he had just written, and he looked at Li Sansi and Su Zixuan in front of him in amazement.

Su Zixuan took a step forward and nodded, "Sansi said that he is very familiar with the aura of one of the masters. He should be the person who colluded with the Duke of Humington. Judging from their conversation, their goal is Li Sansi, but actually I should have come here for you, father."

The Duke of Stoke dubiously looked at Li Sansi who was kneeling in front of him, with a look in his eyes that was not easy to believe, and shook his head, "I know how you feel, Li Sansi, but this matter is really unreasonable, Xiu Ming The Duke of Ton did have a feud with me, but he should have directly attacked me instead of assassinating the two of you."

The Duke of Stoke looked at Su Zixuan in front of him, and then turned his eyes to Li Sansi, "Besides, Li Sansi, you are not someone in our family, why would they spend all their money to attack you? What is the real purpose? It’s not that I don’t believe in what the Duke of Humington has done, but it’s completely unnecessary for him to conduct such an action now. Now that the reputation of the Stoke family has fallen to the lowest point, if he wants to Adding fuel to the fire like this won’t do anything!?”

Su Zixuan opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end she didn't say it in front of her father, "It is very likely that the Duke of Humington will realize that the pirate group led by Li Sansi is supporting the entire Duke of Stoke family , once Li Sansi dies, the pirates have no reason to continue to help the Stoke family. In addition to the intricate contradictions among the pirates, if the Duke of Humington intervenes at this time, the pirates who have finally gathered together will lose their centripetal force. Disintegrate! Similarly, if the family of the Duke of Stoke lacks this support, the weak family will also fall apart."

Su Zixuan kept this sentence in his mouth, knowing that he would never say it. His father had great self-esteem. If he admitted that the Stoke family was advancing with the help of the pirates led by Li Sansi, he would be ashamed and humiliated. Maybe Li Sansi will immediately let the pirates withdraw from the Heart of the Goddess and the surrounding derivative industries. This is the same effect as Li Sansi's killing, which is in the hands of the Duke of Humington, because the honor of the Stoke family makes the The Duke of Stoke will never accept the charity given by the pirates, because the pirates and funds stationed in the Heart of the Goddess are injected and managed in the name of Huang Haitao, so the Duke of Stoke doesn't know about it.

Moreover, Su Zixuan also faintly felt that his father was not willing to face up to the fact that the successive attacks were caused by the Duke of Humington. It felt like his father, the Duke of Stoke, had a certain degree of affection for the Duke of Humington. The fear above.
