night.
Inside Kroeber's room.
At this time, Krober was hugging Veronica and sharing with her the interesting things that happened during this period.
"Dear, you know what? I saw a little squirrel today. It was jumping around on the branches. It was so cute!"
Kroeber said with a smile.
Veronica looked at him tenderly:
"Oh, that's interesting. I'm planning to get a squirrel for fun. I'll go and see it tomorrow."
They just chatted and enjoyed each other's company.
What they talked about were all trivial matters.
But it is these trivial things that make the relationship between the two of them even warmer and stronger.
After chatting about some light topics, it’s time to talk about more serious things.
That was what Gwendolyn had wanted to surrender gracefully the other day.
On the day this happened, Kroeber had already explained the general situation to Veronica.
At that time, Veronica's suggestion was to let the other party calm down for a few days, but now that they happened to be talking about this matter, the two began to discuss it in detail.
Kroeber frowned.
"I can actually understand Gwendolen's thoughts."
"She's simply worried about her people being treated unfairly by me after surrendering."
Veronica nodded:
"Yes, she is the head of the clan after all, and she has to consider the future of the entire clan."
"Besides, she is still a high-ranking dragon knight and the queen of the sea tribe. It is not easy for her to humble herself."
Kroeber sighed:
"But the problem is that what she asked for is really hard for me to accept."
"She wants me to marry her and have a partnership with her. How is that possible?"
Veronica was silent for a moment, then said:
"Maybe we should think about it from her perspective."
"She may have done this because she doesn't know you well enough and doesn't trust you enough."
Kroeber pondered for a moment:
"Well, you do have a point, but I think it's very likely that she just can't let go of the title of Queen of the Azure Sea, so she wants to retain it in another way."
"But I really can't agree to her request."
Krober would never agree to something like this without even thinking about it.
In human society, the system of husband and wife is always monogamy.
The more prestigious one's status, the less likely they are to challenge the system.
Monogamy is a basic system for maintaining human aristocratic rule.
Only with this system in place can marriages between two noble families be guaranteed.
If Kroeber chooses to accept Gwendolyn as his partner, the first thing to be impacted will definitely be the original human marriage system.
The other kings would surely jump out to accuse him.
After all, a partner with a name is different from an underground lover.
In the final analysis, the underground lover is actually just a tool to help the king continue his bloodline and vent his desires, but the partner can share the king's own rights and status.
Like Veronica, in addition to being the Grand Duchess of the Golden Duchy, she is also the Queen of the Amethyst Ocean Kingdom, so it is not wrong to call her the Queen.
It's all the same anyway.
Kroeber and Veronica share a throne.
Krober shook his head helplessly:
"But Gwendolyn doesn't understand this. She only thinks about how to protect herself and her people, but ignores the rules of reality."
"She didn't consider that if I agreed, the Amethyst Ocean Kingdom's diplomatic stance would be put in a passive position."
Veronica comforted:
"Don't worry too much, dear. Perhaps we can find an opportunity to have a good talk with her and let her understand our position and difficulties."
Krober nodded:
"That's what I thought. I've given her a few days to think calmly."
"Maybe this will solve the problem."
"However, I still need to think about how to better handle this matter..."
After all, she is a high-ranking dragon knight and a top combat force for the current Amethyst Ocean Current Kingdom. Krober naturally does not want to lose her for no reason.
Moreover, the mermaids are very valuable. They can produce magical materials stably, which is also a rare treasure for the kingdom.
So the two of them continued to communicate on this topic.
After discussing for a long time, the two finally came to a conclusion.
Don't take the initiative to look for people like Krober. Veronica has to take action personally to defeat Gwendolyn.
————
At this time, Gwendolyn was resting in her room in the Ocean Island Palace.
She covered her head with the quilt, leaving only her eyes exposed.
At this moment, she was also reviewing the negotiation that took place a few days ago.
God have mercy on her, she is the queen of the blue sea, but she has to propose to a human in a pitiful way.
And that human actually rejected her directly!
"Damn it! I'm the Queen! I'm the Wave Dragon Knight! How dare he!!"
After venting for a few words, she began to doubt herself again.
"Am I really unattractive?"
Thinking of this, she quickly got up from the bed, ran to the floor-length mirror and looked at her appearance.
"I have such a good figure, my skin is so smooth and delicate, and my eyes are so beautiful."
She muttered to herself as she looked at herself.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she couldn't help but feel a little narcissistic.
But why would that hateful guy reject me?
She couldn't figure it out.
"Could it be because of my tail?"
Gwendolyn glanced at her tail. Her upper body definitely met human aesthetic standards, so the reason why Kroeber rejected her was most likely because of her tail.
"It turns out that humans can't handle fine bran. The most beautiful part of my body is obviously my tail."
"Look at these scales. They feel cool and smooth to the touch."
She touched her tail with her hand and it still felt so soft.
"Only that big fool Kroeber doesn't understand my beauty. I'm known as the most beautiful queen among the sea tribe!"
Gwendolen consoled herself.
However, no matter how she comforted herself, she still felt a sense of loss deep in her heart.
After all, being rejected doesn't feel good.
Especially since she was directly rejected by Krober, without even having the chance to think about it.
Before making this suggestion, she actually hoped that Kroeber would reject it.
But after Krober ruthlessly rejected the proposal, she became a little angry.
I can only say that women’s minds are really hard to guess.
Oh, no, it’s that the thoughts of all female intelligent creatures are difficult to guess.
