Chapter 224 Western Palace‧Prostitution Chief Guard (Seventeen)

“You know?” Margaery placed her hands on the quilt tightly, and still said in a cold tone.

“Your Majesty wrote to tell me,” Arthur lowered his head. He knew that it was taboo for him to rush back from the battlefield without permission. His Highness hated such irresponsible behavior the most.But he really couldn’t bear it. The moment he learned that His Highness was pregnant, he almost jumped with excitement.The joy of becoming a father for the first time is not the main reason, because the child belongs to him and His Highness, which means that the girl once belonged to him, which is proof that they are connected.

But His Highness was unwilling to keep the child. Arthur had never complained. No matter what His Highness did, he would never complain.He told himself that he should accept it obediently, because the child had come at an untimely time, but the hand holding the letter kept shaking, as if something was stirring in his chest, mincing his internal organs.

“Please,” the man lowered his head deeply and begged in the most humble and submissive manner, “keep him, I am willing to raise him.”

“Do you want to keep him by your side? As a knight of the princess,” the girl showed a cold smile, “with a child whose mother is unknown.”

Arthur’s heart skipped a beat. As a favorite of Her Highness the Princess, he had always been a thorn in the side of Her Highness’s political enemies.If there was an extra child around him for no reason, those people would definitely investigate.Therefore, this child cannot stay with him, otherwise it will be a time bomb.

“I…” His throat was tight and his voice was dry, “I will send him… far away and never look at him.” After saying this, he felt that all the strength in his body was exhausted.

In the girl’s eyes, the man straightened his back even more.He probably didn’t want to show his reluctance in front of him, “Do you hate me, Arthur,” the girl said softly.

Arthur didn’t speak. He wanted to say that he didn’t hate her. How could he resent Her Royal Highness? Even if the girl in front of him wanted to insert a knife into his heart, he would not let out a painful groan.

“Since you don’t resent me,” Margery’s voice suddenly turned cold, “then why do you come to beg me again.”

Why, why… The fingertips clenched into fists dug deep into the flesh, and blood trickled down drop by drop, seeping into the thick carpet and disappearing immediately.

Because I am in pain, so painful that I can’t breathe. Even looking at you feels like a knife is slitting my throat.

How ridiculous, he actually once imagined that His Highness would belong to him alone.The appearance of this child finally broke his dream. He was just a shady male favorite who could not stand in the sun and could not keep his own child.

“I hate you,” the frozen stone statue finally uttered a harsh voice, as if squeezed out from between his teeth, and as if coming from his bleeding heart, “Yes, I hate you.”

I hate that you gave me hope and then ruthlessly shattered it in front of me.

Arthur stood up, lowering his head from beginning to end, not looking at Margery again.

The fighting became more and more intense. After driving the Menite army out of the country, the armies of both sides became stalemate at the border.If the Menites cannot be defeated in one fell swoop, they will inevitably make a comeback.Large armies were constantly sent to the north, and countless military reports came and went between the border and the royal capital every day.

Her Royal Highness the Princess rested in bed, and the king resumed handling the state affairs. Antony assisted, so that Alexander, who had not reviewed the government affairs for a long time, would not be in a hurry.Among the many military reports, the two of them paid special attention to the news about one person.

“It seems that Arthur is quite a general.” Alexander hurriedly browsed through the general newspaper and couldn’t help but say.

After returning to the battlefield, Arthur immediately threw himself into the war.Margery sent him to be gilded. For this unexplainable meaning, Duke Corboy, as the commander-in-chief, has never arranged for him to carry out dangerous tasks.But Arthur suddenly asked to go to the most dangerous forward. Duke Corboy couldn’t resist him and could only agree.

Unexpectedly, his military talent was so outstanding that he led the vanguard army all the way into the enemy’s hinterland and took advantage of the sudden appearance of the army to defeat the Menit people.That was the greatest victory the Kosai Kingdom had ever achieved since the war between the two countries. When the good news came back, the whole city was shocked.

Alexander suppressed the news and did not allow anyone to tell the princess.More good news came frequently, and as Arthur’s achievements became more and more prominent, his position in the army also rose.Even several veteran generals had to admit that Arthur, who had always been the captain of the guard in the palace, had really shrunk from his talents before.

“What a pity.” Alexander sighed. His daughter insisted on taking away the child, and even Arthur’s hurried return couldn’t persuade her.After that time, the two young people probably broke up.If it hadn’t been for this incident and Arthur had successfully obtained military merit and was awarded a medal, they would have been able to be together.But things are unpredictable, who knew things would turn out like this.

She has always acted hard-hearted, but in fact Lily is not willing to take away the child.It had been a month since she was diagnosed, and she hadn’t mentioned an abortion.

She didn’t mention it, so Alexander was naturally happy to pretend to be stupid. Unexpectedly, he received an urgent report that night. He had told the affairs officers that if they received a military report about Arthur, they must report it immediately.After opening the emergency report and reading it, Alexander was stunned.

Arthur disappeared. He led a squad of 100 people to sneak attack on the enemy’s food and grass at night, but never came back.

The military report was written by Duke Corboy himself, and this risky tactic was proposed by Arthur himself. As long as the sneak attack was successful, Corsay’s army could attack the Menite camp early the next morning and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

The plan was indeed carried out as planned. The Menites suffered a sudden defeat and fled in all directions.The Kingdom of Kosai won the final victory in the war, but there was no news about its greatest hero.

The deputy who accompanied Arthur in the ambush escaped back. According to him, the team was discovered by the Menites. Arthur ordered one team to light the fire, while the other team stayed to hold off the enemy, and he was in the team that stayed.

“Arthur… I’m afraid it’s a bad thing.” Three days have passed and he hasn’t come back, which almost means he is dead. Alexander lowered his face and ordered the steward, “The princess must not know about this matter, do you hear me?!”

“What can’t you let me know?” At this moment, the girl’s cold voice suddenly sounded.
