Reject me, hateful woman

God is really helping him. If Celidia returns to the church directly, Behrens doesn't know what to do.

But since there's a chance someone from the church could stay here, this is his chance to expose Lynn.

After all, I didn’t come alone.

In a blink of an eye, he winked at Pei Dinan behind him, who nodded silently.

Behrens planned to change his mind this time. If Celidia refused to see him, then let others do the talking.

Can she really not see anyone?

Moreover, the announcement of the church and the emperor's election was just an interlude. Everyone knew that the so-called "private conversations between brothers and sisters" that followed were the real finale of the day that should not be missed.

After the church people left, Hedwig looked around and asked with a smile:

"Sorry, everyone, it's been a long time. We are the only ones here now. The barrier to block visits has been set up in advance. If you have anything to say, you can speak freely."

Historia's eyes lit up. She had been waiting for this sentence for a long time.

Everything in front of her didn't matter. The purpose of her coming here was originally for family matters and to inquire about her father.

She was about to speak immediately:

"Hyde..."

"In this case, let's take advantage of the situation to discuss the division of power during the king's election. I think it would be good for each district in Rose City to be evenly distributed to each crown prince."

The second prince sitting next to Hedwig suddenly spoke.

"Ha, are you kidding? Roselet, has your head been squeezed by muscles? Why should we redistribute with you?"

"I also don't think it's right."

Hiltelia and Behrens immediately retorted. Roselet originally had a military background, but the military's power was far away from the imperial city. Instead, Hiltelia and Behrens because of Individuals or family forces have considerable control over the upper and lower classes in many areas of the imperial city.

Give away the territory you control to others, and then be directly ridden in the face by army soldiers who come out of nowhere?

They are not that stupid.

"I'm not asking for your opinion. The host is Hedwig, isn't she?"

Roselet said indifferently.

"Okay, okay, everyone, please don't quarrel. That's not what Brother Roselet meant. Can everyone's resources be distributed equally and limited collectively? Otherwise, it will hurt the harmony."

The fifth prince Xervis also spoke softly, but everyone was silent.

Obviously, if the power is collectively restricted, there will be restrictions on the three people who have their own strengths. On the contrary, the weaker Xervis and Historia will be missed in vain, and naturally they will not respond.

"I can exchange some information for some caravan sponsorship information, Hiltelia."

"Go find Behrens, I have no interest in doing anything with you bunch of bastards."

"You...huh, brother Roselet, ignore this crazy woman. The two of us can get to know her in depth later."

"Uuuuuu, I'm sorry everyone, I haven't been able to speak since I was a child, but I can..."

Everyone at the long table, who were still a little reluctant at first, gradually became more relaxed.

Countless wealth, power, and the rise and fall of countless families flow in this small room, and some may even determine the future direction of this country.

Even Hedwig, who did not participate in the king's election, watched all this with a smile, only occasionally mediating the atmosphere that was about to become dangerous.

Only Historia has never been able to integrate into this environment.

Compared with the lofty topics of her brothers and sisters, she seemed so reserved and petty when she just wanted to ask about her father.

Only then did Historia realize that the family affairs in her impression were not quite the same as what her brothers said.

She seems to be an outsider

In other words, she seemed like a person outside the scene from beginning to end.

She wanted to get up and ask questions several times, but she was either interrupted or no one listened.

The little princess became more and more silent, and finally just slowly sat back on her seat in the corner without attracting anyone's attention.

Those delicate fists with white silk gloves suddenly clenched slowly, as if they had made some kind of determination.

"Are you done yet?"

Historia slammed the table, and the quarreling crown princes collectively paused and looked at their youngest sister.

"Why, why can you talk so lively!"

"Aren't we going to talk about family matters, aren't we going to discuss things between brothers?!"

Historia's voice trembled,

"But why, why does no one care about dad at all?"

"Isn't he still alive? He should not be dead yet. Have you started to divide your forces and start thinking about dividing the inheritance?"

She glared at the second prince fiercely:

"Roslet, you promised dad that you would not let your military mother's people enter the imperial capital. Have you done it?"

"Sister Hiltelia, don't you disdain to participate in these discussions? What are you doing?"

"Behrens, you make me sick."

"Xervis, do you have to use that pretentious tone when talking to your brother?!"

"elder sister,"

She finally looked at Hedwig, like a child who wanted to seek help from an adult,

"Why are you just watching? Didn't you promise dad that you would take good care of all of us?"

In the small room, no one spoke after Historia spoke.

The silence suddenly seemed deafening.

Historia was stunned for a moment.

Because Hedwig, whom she thought was most likely to support her, actually turned away.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at the others, but saw only indifference on the faces of her brothers and sisters.

Genuine indifference.

On the day they sent themselves away from Rose City to Purple Flower, they had false sadness on their faces.

On the day when their father became seriously ill, each of them scrambled to pretend to be anxious.

And now, she finally saw their undisguised expressions.

But there is only indifference.

Finally, a scoff broke the silence.

Behrens raised the corners of his lips, with a tone that was somewhere between disdain and ridicule:

"Historia, you are still so childish."

"Little sister, don't worry, we will definitely discuss this next time."

Xervis comforted.

"Forget it, there's no point in dealing with her like this."

Behrens interrupted Xervis with a sneer.

"Let me tell you straight, Historia, no one here cares about childish household matters."

Historia looked stunned.

"The reason why we allowed you to come back is just because the old guy said that everyone must be present before the king's election can be started. You don't think it's because of your brother's love for your sister or because your father misses you. Boring reason, right?"

"That's it, Behrens."

Hedwig spoke.

"This is not over, Sister Hedwig, she just scolded us so unpleasantly!"

Behrens shot back.

Then, an unknown smile suddenly flashed across his face.

"How about this, my stupid sister, since our respected sisters have spoken for you, we will give you a chance."

He touched the table with his hand:

"Apologies to all of us."

"If you apologize and admit your mistakes, maybe one of your kind-hearted brothers and sisters will take pity on you and let you go see your father."

"otherwise,"

He smiled and said,

"You are already used to the life in Zijinhua. It's warm and relaxing there. It's very suitable for people like you. It's not bad to stay there for a long time, is it?"

Historia just listened silently, her little fists slightly clenched.

If it were in the past, when the other brothers and sisters bullied him like this, Historia's fireball would have been thrown into his nostrils.

As for the consequences, who wants to think about it.

But if I continue to be willful this time, the consequences seem to be serious.

She could tell that Behrens wasn't kidding.

If he refuses to apologize, he may... No, all of them, maybe if they unite, they can really make it impossible for him to return to Rose City.

"Don't say anything. You are refusing to apologize and get out, making it very difficult for everyone~"

Behrens urged.

Historia smiled brightly.

When Behrens said this, he must have been sure that he would not apologize.

Unfortunately, he was wrong.

She would apologize. It took Zayu three days to teach himself to control his temper. If he got angry here, all his efforts would be in vain.

She'll apologize, it just takes a little more brewing.

Historia took a deep breath:

"Isn't it..."

"I'm sorry, everyone."

The gentle and reassuring male voice suddenly took the lead.

Historia turned her head and saw Linn standing up at some point, lowering his head slightly, as if he was in deep pain.

"Zhaoyu, this matter has nothing to do with you..."

"Why has nothing to do with me?"

Lin En asked calmly,

"Aren't you a member of my study group?"

Behrens couldn't help but laugh.

Although he originally planned to let Historia go away completely to avoid future troubles.

However, he was also happy to see that Lynn Norton bow his head.

"It's okay for you to apologize on her behalf, but we don't seem to feel the sincerity. Isn't this a little difficult?"

Behrens was elated.

Historia gritted her teeth:

"Behrens, don't be too..."

"Feel sorry,"

Lin En lowered his head again and said humbly,

"Historia is an impulsive and naive fool. Please don't refuse her. I apologize to you again on her behalf. Please forgive her."

Behrens laughed triumphantly.
