Queen and Her Duke

Chapter 21

Vicia was stunned, and did not respond for a while.

After a long time, she looked at Wen Lin's serious expression, which was not like nonsense, and laughed dumbly.

In a slight sigh, there was a faint sense of loss.

"Let me guess, do you want to say next, these strange sayings are all from the free Eden you say?"

Pressing her lips tightly, Wen Lin nodded.

Vicia looked into the distance with a light smile, her attitude of being near and far was unpredictable, she just held Wen Lin's hand and continued to walk forward.

"Your Majesty Vicia, don't you believe it?" Wen Lin asked suddenly.

"Do you want me to believe it?" Vicia raised the corner of her lips and asked rhetorically.

An inexplicable light flashed in Wen Lin's eyes. She looked down at the hands that the two of them were shaking, her emotions were tumbling, she didn't know how to answer, so she simply kept silent.

Seemingly accustomed to Wen Lin's habit of twisting her cheeks occasionally, Vichy glanced at her and asked with renewed interest,

"Your Excellency, since you have spoken of the Garden of Eden of freedom, I would like to ask you, what do you think of the scriptures that say that women must submit to their husbands,"

This question is intriguing, and Wen Lin didn't answer it right away.

Although Vicia has been in power for five years, gender prejudice and social customs still threaten her rule.

Catholics and Protestants, who often pray in the morning for a husband and son to the queen, still look forward to a male monarch to rule them.

It seems that only in this way can the country remain in a stable order.

And once Vicia accepts the marriage, she will share the ruling power of the Golan with her future husband equally. If she gives birth to an heir, she is more likely to be overthrown by evil people with ulterior motives.

It's a shaky throne.

Her palms were soaked with sweat, and Wen Lin unconsciously glanced at Vicia's expression.

It was still calm and calm, as if the thorns in her eyes were just flowers adorning the crown of glory.

Something seemed to be touched in her heart, Wen Lin blinked,

"Your Majesty Vicia, the scriptures also say that the grace of our Lord extends to the sky, but the scale of people's hearts is as far as the sky. You already have the answer in your heart, don't you?"

"Your Excellency, what I'm asking is your answer,"

"Like you,"

The wind was cold, but the scalding heat on the palms seemed to seep into the lungs along the skin, and then exhaled heavily, thinning the empty coldness until it disappeared.

Wen Lin's answer made Visia's eyes sparkle like stars. She lowered her eyelids and tried to cover the emotions in her eyes, but her hands were unconsciously exerting force.

After a long time, Vicia let go of Wen Lin's hand and stroked the small box in the palm of her hand. She turned her head away and laughed very lightly.

"Your Excellency, I believe you are sincere, you go back, you don't need to send the rest of the way,"

After speaking, Vicia walked a few steps forward. When Wen Lin didn't understand the reason, her voice drifted down the wind,

"Your Excellency, you will leave the palace tomorrow. You are not allowed to come back without my edict."

Willful attitude, hard to hide the slightest jealousy.

Wen Lin opened her lips in amazement, stood there, staring blankly at Vicia walking away.

She seemed to have difficulty maintaining her sanity and calmness in front of Vicia.

Even, she actually gave birth to the slightest feeling of distress.

Uncontrollable upset.

The news that she could leave the palace came unexpectedly, which was probably Wen Lin's only consolation.

For some reason, Wen Lin followed Vicia from a distance and watched her walk into the White House before turning around and walking back.

Bessie and Namar waited anxiously at the door, and when they saw Wen Lin came back intact, they let out a long sigh.

Amused by their overly nervous reaction, Wen Lin couldn't help but tease, "Could it be that Her Majesty Vicia can eat people, are you afraid that I will be eaten by her?"

She patted her chest with lingering fear, but Namaner was not as calm as usual, she told Wen Lin with a serious face,

"His Majesty Vicia has been waiting for you for a long time, and I have never seen Her Majesty Vicia so obviously angry because of someone, even knowing that Lord Robert is married,"

"Lord Robert?" Wen Lin keenly grasped the point of the words,

Seeing Wen Lin's curiosity, Namar explained, "Before Her Majesty Vicia took the throne, there was a playmate who played with him since childhood, Lord Robert."

Her eyes darkened, Wen Lin slowed down, and asked casually, "Did he attend the dinner tonight?"

"No, since he knew that Lord Robert was married, Her Majesty Vicia has distanced himself from him, and has deprived him of the right to enter and leave the palace at will," Namar shook his head with some sigh.

already estranged...

Quietly hooking her lips, Wen Lin stopped talking about the topic and talked about her leaving the palace tomorrow.

Remove the long knife from the weapon rack and wrap it in dark linen.

There were a lot of spectators in the arena that day. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Wen Lin wrapped the long knife tightly.

Bessie and Namaner were surprised, but they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It's hard to find a guest like Wen Lin who is so easy to get along with.

When helping to pack things, they even packed everything that could be used for Wen Lin, and even prepared a big bag of herbs for Wen Lin.

Ridiculous, but could not bear to reject their wishes, Wen Lin had to silently accept it.

The next morning, Wen Lin saw someone who surprised her at the door of Wang Ting.

Humphreys, the rumored shrewd and ruthless commoner nobleman.

As soon as Wen Lin came out, Hanvers took the initiative to meet her, "Your Excellency Wen Lin, the carriage is ready, your subordinates are waiting for you at the manor on the outskirts,"

Not far away was a simple four-wheeled carriage. Wen Lin was worried about what to do with her large luggage. The arrival of Humphreys just solved her urgent need.

After politely saying hello, Wen Lin asked Hanvers to help her load her luggage into the car.

The action is neat and tidy, all in one go.

After Wen Lin took care of everything, she got into the carriage, and Hanvers rode to the side of the carriage.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Humphreys," Wen Lin lifted the curtain and smiled friendly.

"Your Excellency Wen Lin, I have always been meticulous and thoughtful towards my friends,"

At the age of about 30, he was wearing a black tunic, with a long sword with a silver handle on his waist. Under his loose bloomers were leather short boots, without any extra accessories. It was a very suitable outfit for travel.

A simple new noble, Wen Lin silently came to this conclusion in her heart.

"Excuse my presumptuous interruption, but I don't think you know where Mr. Erbo and the others live, so you came to you on your own accord,"

"Why, Mr. Humphries, I should thank you for your thoughtful arrangement,"

Although I don't know the purpose of Hanvers' diligence for the time being, I have to say that his actions saved Wen Lin from a lot of trouble, which was very much in line with her.

After the carriage drove out of the city, a large flat field came into view. It was the autumn planting season, and the wheat seedlings on the land were sparsely green.

Unlike Huaguo, the cultivated fields on the outskirts of Brenzi are almost all regular rectangular plots of different sizes, ranging from half an acre to one acre.

Scattered log cabins scattered among them, curling white smoke from the chimney.

Humphreys observed Wen Lin's high spirits, and took the initiative to introduce to him which territories belonged to him and which were the territories of the royal family, as well as some methods of managing the territorial people.

On the uneven road, the carriage was still bumping badly, but Humphreys's humorous conversation made it less uncomfortable.

As time passed, a slightly old country manor gradually appeared in Wen Lin's field of vision.

The author has something to say:

When I was young, when I saw ploughing the fields, I wanted to go in and dig a few times, especially when I could play in the mud before planting, but there seemed to be leeches too.
