Chapter 217 Western Palace‧Prostitution Captain of the Guard (10)

While the royal court was busy trying to find a husband for the Princess, His Majesty the King’s health was getting better day by day.

At first, he could only stay in bed. After only half a month on his hands, he was able to go for a walk in the yard with the help of a servant.The doctors who treated the king were also surprised. This was a good thing after all. Suddenly, the depressive atmosphere of the summer palace became joyful again.

Of course, most people’s joy is partly true and partly false, and Margaery knows it well.Because most of these nobles gathered here to become the new princes of the Kosai Kingdom, either their sons or their grandsons.In short, now that the king’s health has recovered, Margery no longer has to worry about getting married to make her father feel at ease, and the dances in the summer palace have naturally been stopped.

“I’m afraid you are very satisfied with this result.” As Margery’s playmate since childhood, Anthony spoke to her in a more casual tone when no one was around. “Your Majesty is fine, and you don’t have to find a random man to marry.”

The girl smiled. Although she didn’t answer, her joy was obvious.

“Are you ready to go on like this?” Anthony suddenly said, “Sooner or later you are going to get married, Lily, and that person won’t be Arthur.”

Unless Margaery gives up the throne, she can naturally marry whomever she wants, but she cannot do this even for her father.

“Do you have to say these words to remind me?” The girl frowned. The rare good mood was ruined like this, but she also admitted that Anthony was right. If she could avoid this time, how long could she avoid it? “If I am strong enough…” She couldn’t help but murmur to herself. Becoming a queen who did not need to marry to stabilize her power was the only way for her to freely choose her husband.

“Or you can insist on never getting married, and then let Arthur be your lover,” Anthony raised his eyebrows, “I think he will never have any objection.”

Not only is there no objection, I’m afraid Arthur will feel that he is not even worthy of being a lover.”What about the heir?” Margaery smiled bitterly. There was no legal heir. Once she died, the throne would still fall into the hands of her cousin.

Anthony thought for a while: “Find a weak man to marry and let him make a name for himself?”

In fact, there are many couples in the aristocratic circle who are in this situation. Because of the political marriage, the husband and wife have no feelings. After getting married, they just go about their own lives without interfering with each other.If Margaery became queen, she could have told her nominal husband to shut up, and then put the children she and Arthur had in her husband’s name. In this way, all the problems would be solved.

This method sounded feasible, but Margaery shook her head.She didn’t want to say anything more, knowing that Anthony was sincerely considering her, but he probably didn’t understand what he was hesitating about.

She wanted to be with Arthur openly, not as a lover, and she didn’t want to insert another nominal husband. She just wanted everyone to know that that man was her husband and she was that man’s wife.This is probably the difference between women and men. Even though they know that such vain things are useless, they still persist in not wanting to give up.

“Arthur,” that night, after being groomed by a man, the girl grabbed his collar and forced him to lean down and look at her, “What will happen to you if I get married?”

Arthur’s eyes dimmed: “I will guard you, just like now.”

“Then… what if I don’t need you anymore?”

The moment the words came out, the girl seemed to see a hint of bitterness in Arthur’s eyes, but his voice was still so calm: “I will still guard you, even if you no longer need me.”

However, Margery still didn’t let him go, pressing her harder and harder step by step: “What if I drive you away?”

“Your order…” The man’s voice finally showed a harsh tone, “I will never disobey it.”

“What if my husband wants to drive you away?”

Husband… his hands trembled unconsciously, Arthur kept telling himself not to waver: “As long as it is your order…”

So, did this man never think about resisting?The feelings that came to her heart were complicated and difficult to distinguish. Margery looked into Arthur’s eyes, and only her own shadow was reflected in the blue pupils. Just like his words and deeds, in her heart, she would always be against the orders of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

“Then I want another man to share me with you, are you willing?” She suddenly sat up, the tip of her nose was close to the tip of Arthur’s, and her gaze almost looked into the depths of Arthur’s eyes.

The man wanted to retreat in panic, but his instinct to obey Her Highness the Princess unconditionally kept his feet rooted to the spot.

“Are you willing?” The girl repeated again coldly.

“If…this is your order,” he said with difficulty, feeling as if a piece of his heart was being cut out with every word he spoke, “I am willing.”

Margery stopped talking. For a long time, Arthur remained frozen in place with his half-bowed posture, and then he heard the cold words coming from her lips: “Get out.”

Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Chief of Guards had a cold war.

As the deputy captain of the palace guards, Allen dared to say that he was the person in the entire palace who knew those two people best, besides Mr. Anthony.After His Highness stripped Arthur of his captaincy a few months ago, everyone said he had finally fallen out of favor, but Alan knew that was not the case at all.

The captain is still serving His Highness, and all His Highness’s affairs are still left to him.Sure enough, a few days later, the captain regained his authority.So this is basically just a young couple getting angry after a quarrel. Yes, in Allen’s eyes, these two people with completely unequal status are a couple.

Because of the way they looked at each other, judging from the experience of Allen, a veteran in love, there was definitely a way.The reason why I haven’t made it clear is probably because of awkwardness or low self-esteem.

I have to say that Allen completely told the truth.

But after the Cold War started, Allen suddenly panicked.On the surface, it seems that Arthur’s position as Captain of the Guard is still well fulfilled, and His Highness thinks highly of him. However, according to Allen’s observation, His Highness has not said a word to Captain Arthur in the past half month!Not to mention that His Highness’s daily care has been handed over to the maid, and Captain Arthur no longer takes him with him when traveling.

The two people who used to be inseparable for a moment have now become estranged masters and servants, and His Highness is even more estranged from the captain – just yesterday, Allen received an order from His Highness, asking him to go to His Highness’s room every night to keep vigil.

By the gods, isn’t this Captain Arthur’s exclusive responsibility?Allen was sure that as long as he dared to go, the captain would tear him into pieces!

But the master had a destiny and had to obey. He secretly cursed a thousand times, but Allen still shrank his neck and went.Fortunately for him, His Highness had no intention of having an affair with him, so that was fine, that was fine. If he really got into His Highness’s bed, Allen felt that he might not even be able to keep his body.

After staying like this for several days, Captain Arthur looked at Allen with increasingly cold eyes.Allen was terrified every day, but His Highness threatened him not to tell anyone about what happened during the vigil every night, so he had to pretend to be stupid.

After enduring it for another ten days, Captain Arthur finally couldn’t bear it anymore. He stopped Allen in the corridor who was going to keep vigil for His Highness: “Alan, can you tell me what His Highness called you to do every night?”

Allen hesitated, thinking of the instructions His Highness had given him: “Yeah, I didn’t do anything.” He swallowed and secretly told himself to run faster later, “Just…whatever you did with His Highness before, I just…did.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the man’s face sank.Allen had never seen that look on the face of the good-tempered Captain Arthur, like the dark clouds on the eve of the storm, and like a wild beast that was about to burst out while hunting.

To Allen’s surprise, he didn’t say anything, but said calmly: “You don’t have to go to the vigil tonight.”

Allen stood there until Arthur walked past him, and the suffocating feeling of oppression disappeared.He saw Arthur walking to the door of Her Royal Highness the Princess’s bedroom. For the first time, he didn’t knock on the door, but opened the door and walked straight in.

The girl finished washing and was sitting by the window reading a book. She heard footsteps and asked casually: “Ellen, why are you so early today?”

No one responded to her, so she raised her head in confusion. The tall man who walked in was like a frozen stone statue, with no expression on his face: “Alan is sick. I will keep vigil for you tonight.”

“Get out,” the girl put down the book, “let…” She wanted to let other guards in, but Arthur had already walked in front of her.

The man uncharacteristically ignored her order. She felt something was wrong and wanted to stand up. His big hands suddenly grabbed her ankles and pressed her into the chair as she screamed.His legs were forcibly spread apart, and Arthur knelt down. Such a humble posture made Margaery feel a sense of danger.”I’m here to serve you, Your Highness.” The man’s voice was low and deep, and he opened his thin lips and licked the roots of her legs.
