As a result, Xia Yibing did not play by the rules. She didn't explain at all and pulled her through the crowd as if it was a matter of course, ran to several small shops on the side of the stadium, and bought a lot of candies and snacks.
Hitzfeld wasn't really angry at first, and his attention was quickly drawn to these things.
"What is this?" She picked up a candy wrapped in gold tinfoil. The outline of the thing was very suspicious, and it looked like a gecko lizard was wrapped inside.
"Dried lizard." Xia Yibing's answer almost made her throw her hand away. "It's a snack made from lizard carcasses soaked in sugar water... Don't think it's disgusting, it tastes pretty good."
"Forget it." Hitzfeld threw the thing back into the big paper bag, suppressing his goosebumps. "I wouldn't touch this stuff even if I had another glass of milk."
"And what is this?" She took out another strange stick from the package.
It looks like a lollipop, but why does the outline of the top look so much like a scorpion?
"That's a scorpion."
Hitzfeld's face turned green.
"It's made of fried scorpions and then coated with syrup." Xia Yibing took the thing from her hand and peeled off the tin foil to reveal its true appearance.
It was indeed a scorpion, wrapped in a light green transparent sugar shell, and it looked lifelike.
Xia Yibing took a bite in front of Hitzfeld and ate it with a crunchy sound, which was very delicious.
Hitzfeld couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she stuffed the package into the woman's arms and decided not to kiss her today.
"You have to be considerate of the people's livelihood..."
Xia Yibing was still complaining to her on the way.
"Who wouldn't want to eat white bread dipped in honey if they had money?"
"We have made some efforts to improve this, but it is still far from enough."
Hitzfeld knew that Xia Yibing cared about her. Maybe her method was a bit weird, but everything she did these days was definitely not just to play with her.
It seemed like they were just having fun - and indeed they were having a lot of fun, but these days she had taken her to many places, to see many people, right up to the final guillotine carnival, and Xia Yibing wanted to tell her nothing more than: these things are all related to you.
She wanted to make her proud, wanted her to empathize, wanted her to feel relieved, and then she might have more motivation to continue living, and the two of them could continue to live well.
If this were on Earth, this might be an exaggeration, but this is Sara, a country that has been invaded by something strange.
Ordinary people may turn into monsters after a night’s sleep, and extraordinary people need to undergo regular psychological treatment.
Especially since Hitzfeld had just gone through a psychological upheaval.
It's normal for her to be afraid that she will be unable to get over it.
"Just stop talking—"
The two of them lined up to enter the stadium tunnel, and amid the noise coming from all around, Hitzfeld spoke loudly.
"I understand all this—"
"I'm not that fragile—"
She had to speak louder.
On the one hand, it was really noisy around, and Xia Yibing couldn't hear it at all if the voice was low.
In addition, she also needed to use the amplified volume to cover up her emotions - to cover up the slight frustration in her heart.
I should have been the one to accompany her...
I should have used...those actions to express my apology to her.
But people are still taking care of me.
What a failure, Hitzfeld...
Because of her low mood, she didn't notice the covetous looks some people were casting at her.
Everything has two sides. At the bottom of the society, there are poor people who deserve sympathy, and there are also hopeless football hooligans.
Her appearance is already outstanding. Even with her head down and wearing an eye mask, her figure and back alone are enough to arouse people's fantasies.
Suddenly, some people took the initiative to squeeze closer to the two of them, and it was obvious what they were thinking.
boom!
“Oh—”
"Leave far away!"
"what!"
"reptile!!"
Before Hitzfeld could react, Xia Yibing swept away the crowd around him. She pulled the girl and turned directly into the upward stairs. Just as she was about to tell her to just find a private room, she suddenly noticed that there seemed to be someone standing in the shadows in the upper corridor.
"Who?"
This time she was really nervous and even pulled out her pistol and aimed it over there.
"come out?"
"Are you so anxious to resign and leave?"
Accompanied by a low hum, the man slowly walked forward.
"you……"
This scared both of them.
Fine clothes, pocket watch and gold chain.
Plus that cynical and decadent face.
The person who came was actually Prince Tenize.
Chapter 15: Marriage and Celebration
"sit."
"You are welcome."
Tenney pushed himself into the sofa in the private room and casually pointed to other places, indicating that the two people didn't need to be too restrained and it was okay to treat this place as their own home.
Hitzfeld and Xia Yibing looked at each other and felt that something was a little unusual.
Admittedly, it was not surprising to encounter a gambling prince at the Ice Dragon Stadium, but on the one hand, he only brought two personal guards with him; on the other hand, he looked so decadent and did not look like he was here for fun at all.
Look at the scene in this box—cigarette butts are everywhere on the floor, and the low table is filled with bottles and jars.
With Tenezer's wealth, he shouldn't be so upset after losing a few games. There could only be other reasons, worse news for him that made him vent his sorrow here.
They were planning to test it out, but Teni spoke up on his own.
"My sister is getting married."
He said this, and Hitzfeld's first reaction was "Huh?"... and his second reaction was "Wait, who are you talking about getting married?"
His sister? Nitze is now a prince, and he only has one sister, Elwin... What? Elwin is planning to get married?
What the hell?
Both of them were stunned by the news. They stood there in a daze, unable to say anything.
"That's all bullshit..." Teni filled his glass again, still saying harsh words, "What they said is that even though she is still young, she still has to consider her offspring... A country must have a certain future to be stable... That's all bullshit!"
This is not bullshit.
Hitzfeld pursed his lips and said nothing.
Although it is a bit cruel, it is true that no matter what the history or what the civilization is, everyone will feel at ease only when there is a successor.
Especially for empires and kingdoms that tend to be feudal and emphasize a centralized system - if you have no heir or crown prince, and the emperor or king falls down unexpectedly, who will be elected to take charge of the situation?
One said he was qualified, the other said he was the most trusted by the previous king. None of the forces were willing to submit to the other, and the world was in chaos in an instant.
So we can't blame those people. Whether they are good officials or bad officials, they all maintain a surprisingly consistent position on this issue: Who is willing to work hard for a country that may fall apart at any time? Even the most pragmatic officials will have some concerns in their hearts.
But she didn't expect it to be so fast. After all, Alvin still looked very young, even very young...
"Who is the candidate?" Xia Yibing asked.
The two guards were standing guard at the door. There were only three of them in the box at the moment, so she was not afraid of being held accountable for being impolite.
As for Tenet, let alone the fact that he didn't really care about these things, even if he did, what would it matter? Didn't you see that he was drunk?
"I don't know." Teni shook his head. "It is said that they are in the process of selection... You can keep an eye on their movements during this period. There will be many 'young talents' coming back to Wayne."
Xia Yibing stopped talking and her face became extremely ugly.
“It shouldn’t be…” Hitzfeld stretched out his hand and pulled her fingers. “Whether this happened or not, Alvin can’t avoid it.”
"I overthink it." Xia Yibing thought for a moment and agreed with her, "But I didn't expect that it has only been a short time since Your Majesty ascended the throne..."
She originally thought that Erwin would relax restrictions on the Security Bureau and allow her to mobilize a large number of people to capture the scum of the nobility, and even did not go through the usual procedures, and the verdicts and beheadings were completed within a few days - this was to compensate Hitzfeld, and at the same time to consolidate power and establish authority.
It is allowed that the people below are restless. But even the king has issued an order not to harass the detective, and you dare to collude in private to plot against the artifact... This is violating the king's bottom line.
If these people were not killed, although Elwin would not be completely looked down upon (after all, she still controlled the mechanical sun), her reputation would undoubtedly plummet, and many people would no longer be afraid of her.
It is even more terrible when the subjects respect the king but do not fear him.
Xia Yibing originally thought that Alwin gave her the power to handle the matter in order to solve these two hidden dangers at the same time, but after hearing Teni reveal another secret, she suddenly suspected that this was a compromise and concession made by Alwin in exchange for the right to marry.
No...it shouldn't happen...
Xia Yibing tapped his head, his thoughts racing.
Just like Aisuen said, whether this happened or not, Alwin couldn't escape it.
She is the queen... Now the whole country, the whole social atmosphere is encouraging childbirth, she must set an example... Otherwise the sect will send people to nag her every day.
And she controls Ji Yang.
The power is enough to compete with the Death Tree, like a real man-made god, this thing is enough to suppress everything!
If she didn't want to, who could force her to compromise? Who could force her to exchange her marriage rights for this little rag?
So she wanted to do it herself.
She knew that she was supposed to do this. This was her mission and she couldn't escape it.
That would be just right to combine with this time's establishment of authority, using the right to marry... and the opportunity to become partners to lure out and divide those colluding maggots, allowing them to fight among themselves, and incidentally minimizing the impact of the "massacre of the nobles."
This method is really——
Xia Yibing was somewhat speechless.
She originally thought that Alvin was too young and would need help from Nian Lun and others in all aspects, and even she herself would have to take the trouble to assist him.
But judging from the means and results, no one can treat her as a child.
She already has the charm of Charuni Sarath back in the day!
"But...but it won't be easy for those people, right?"
Hitzfeld asked tentatively.
If she remembered correctly, the Hawin family representing the ancient country of Saran and the Sara family representing the modern Sara Kingdom had been engaged in an internal cycle.
That is, I marry you, you marry me, and we can cross-pair various distant relatives with each other, which can not only maintain the "Double Tree Alliance" but also ensure that we don't get it for free to outsiders.
After all, these days, how many outsiders can be trusted?
Even the legitimate bloodline of the Harwin family might be coveted and controlled.
outsider?
God knows if it’s a pawn of the evil god.
So according to this logic, if Alwin wants to get married, he should choose his partner from among the princes.
Including Naris, Naris's relatives and descendants.
Also including... well, this crazy, alcoholic, gambling prince.
"Outsider? Of course not!"
Turney snorted.
"She has a good idea. I admire her..."
"But those fools are dreaming!"
