Chapter 262 I Do
The seventeenth Princess of Knath is very beautiful.
Even if he could have more than a dozen beautiful princesses to improve King Knas' ugly genes, not all princes and princesses could inherit the good part.
But Princess Seventeen is really lucky. She looks almost exactly like her biological mother.
She successfully took the title of the most beautiful woman in the royal family from her second sister.
As a princess, beauty is Seventeen's greatest asset besides power.
Therefore, unlike her sisters who had already married, she had been waiting for a perfect opportunity.
In her opinion, she is beautiful and smart, and she can also inherit a fortune that is astronomical for ordinary people, so her future husband cannot be an ordinary person.
In the eyes of Princess Seventeen, except for the king and the grand duke, the rest are just ordinary men.
But she never imagined that the beautiful marriage she had dreamed of would end up turning into a marriage of compromise.
Although the marriage partner is the descendant of the Grand Duchess of Kerma, he is just an ordinary person and the possibility of inheriting the Principality of Kerma in the future is very slim.
Princess Seventeen still didn't understand. Even though her brother Aruba failed in his attempt to become a second-level wizard, he still had a chance.
You don't have to bow down to the Principality of Kerma just like that, right?
The greatly disappointed Seventeenth Princess began her extremely extravagant journey of marriage.
For this purpose, she even specially brought the court musician who was recently favored by the first princess (not her biological mother) into the marriage team.
But she didn't expect that from then on, she would fall into it.
This romantic and amorous princess no longer looked down on anyone else and only wanted to stare at Victor every day.
"Victor, your name is so nice." At this moment, the seventeenth princess was holding up her beautifully-lined chin, staring at the man in front of her.
"It's just an ordinary name." Victor had no interest in communicating with Princess Seventeen. He just lowered his head occasionally and plucked the strings of the zither, producing a disjointed tune.
Even with these messy notes, Princess Seventeen smiled in ecstasy. "It must be tiring to ride all the way, but don't worry, we will arrive at Mobei City soon. By then, you will live in my room. If they dare to be negligent, I will tear down their Mobei City!"
"Really? Are we about to reach Mobei City?" Victor suddenly felt a little melancholy, with a few strands of silver hair hanging on his cheeks, making him look as fragile as a little white rabbit.
"Are you sad?" Princess Seventeen was so fascinated by what she saw that she forgot her agreement with Victor and stood up and walked towards him involuntarily.
She stretched out her hand, wanting to push away the hair for Victor, and also wanted to pinch the hair between her fingertips and twist it gently.
However, when her fingertips were still a few centimeters away from Victor, Victor suddenly turned his head and looked at her coldly, saying with disgust: "Don't touch me."
Princess Seventeen was startled and quickly took a step back.
But she was not angry, she just felt that Victor was in a bad mood.
"But why is Victor angry? Oh, right, coming to Mobei City means my wedding celebration is getting closer. He must be sad."
Princess Seventeen suddenly felt that going to Mobei City was not a good thing.
She frowned, lifted the curtain on the window, and said to the maid walking beside the car: "Tell the Knight Commander that I will not go to Mobei City."
When the maid heard what the princess said, she froze in place.
But she did not dare to ask the princess to repeat herself, and hurried to the Knight Commander to report the situation.
The knight commander, who was over fifty and still strong, was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he hurried over to dissuade him.
However, this spoiled princess ignored the welcoming team waiting in Mobei City and insisted on staying in other towns.
The Knight Commander knew that he couldn't confront the Seventeenth Princess head-on, so he called the local attendant and asked in a low voice, "Are there any towns nearby?"
The attendant recalled for a moment and said respectfully, "There are two fairly large towns nearby. The closest one should be Qiyang Town, and the other one is Mofan Town, which is a little further from here."
The Knight Commander immediately asked, "Where is closer to Mobei City?"
"That's Mofan Town. If we ride faster, we can reach Mobei City in less than half a day."
"What are the customs of the people in Mofan Town like?"
“Although Mofan Town is closer to Mobei City, it is actually protected by the Wizard Tower, and the actual people in power are two first-level wandering wizard apprentices.”
The Knight Commander's heart tightened when he heard the first half of the sentence, but when he heard the second half, he realized that there were only two first-level apprentices in the town who were sent down.
"A first-level apprentice? That's not bad. We have a third-level apprentice accompanying us. Don't worry. Let's go to Mofan Town, and send two more people to Mobei City to pass on the message."
The Knight Commander thought to himself, "If the army of the Principality of Kerma comes to pick us up, it won't be me disobeying orders."
So at the request of the willful princess, the entire marriage team deviated slightly from the original route and headed for an unknown small town on the border.
It was getting dark, fortunately they arrived not far from Mofan Town.
By the time we saw the highest roof in the town, the sunset had already set to the horizon, leaving only a hint of red.
"oops!"
In fact, when the princess was trying hard to please Victor, she suddenly heard a scream from the maid outside the car window.
The atmosphere that had just heated up was broken. The princess tried hard to suppress her anger and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Princess, there are actually many graves outside that town. And..."
"What?" Princess Seventeen looked out the car window, but saw only a few graves, some of which had been dug up and were covered in blood.
She was just frowning slightly. Suddenly, she glanced at Victor in the corner and quickly held her forehead. "Oh, this is terrible. Who is so bad as to dig up someone else's grave?"
Victor was originally indifferent to the noise outside, but suddenly he heard the grave being dug. He clutched the harp tightly and jumped directly to the car door and looked out.
"Haha, interesting." He said it was interesting, but his expression did not look good.
"Victor, don't be afraid, we will leave here now and go to other towns."
"Shut up!" Victor suddenly raised his right hand.
Without waiting for the carriage to stop, he jumped out swiftly and, under the astonished gaze of everyone, walked a few steps to the edge of the field where neatly lined graves were located.
He looked carefully at the dug graves, and even sniffed the smell without changing his expression. Suddenly, he smiled for the first time.
Victor moved his lips and uttered two words silently.
When he turned around and returned to the princess' carriage, he was in high spirits and walked with ease.
It was the first time in so many days that Princess Seventeen saw Victor smile like this, and she was stunned for a moment.
"Princess, in a small country town, it's common to bury graves in the suburbs. The sun is setting, so we should get into the city as soon as possible."
After saying that, he stepped onto the car frame with a smile on his face, and regardless of the complicated looks from everyone, he closed the door tightly.
"Aren't you angry?" Princess Seventeen, who had been trained to be obedient, asked Victor cautiously.
"Of course not. In fact, I'm very happy."
He was indeed very happy, and even the ending of his voice was rising.
It was a rare occasion for him to sit within one meter of the princess, and when he turned sideways, a ray of slanting sunlight came through the car window and shone on his face, casting a somewhat warm color on his originally fair skin.
Princess Seventeen was mesmerized again.
"Victor, you are so beautiful. If I had met you earlier, I would never have touched anyone else."
If faced with such praise in the past, Victor would not have responded at all. But today he smiled at the princess and then looked out the window at the sunset on the mountainside.
At this time, most of the sun had already set behind the mountain, with only a little red haze still struggling in the sky.
But it is also because of this that, against the backdrop of the dark blue sky, it looks as bright red as blood.
"Have you ever heard of the phrase 'the setting sun is like blood'? Look how beautiful it is." Victor said softly.
"Not as good as you." Princess Seventeen was in no mood to appreciate the scenery outside.
Victor rarely gave her a good look, and she just wanted to seize the opportunity and eat him up tonight.
"I don't like the setting sun to be bloody, I like the setting sun dripping blood." Victor's smile became even wider. He suddenly turned his head and said to Princess Seventeen, "Your Highness, let's take our relationship to the next level tonight."
Princess Seventeen was stunned. Victor actually thought the same thing as her!
"Really?"
"Would you like to?" Victor asked.
"I do, I do!" The princess was not reserved at all.
Victor slowed down his voice, "It's the kind that eats everything up and takes it all out~"
Princess Seventeen suddenly felt dry in the mouth and couldn't help licking her lips.
"I do."
