Instead, he looked at his proud granddaughter with eyes full of admiration and expectation. \u003c/br\u003e In order to enter the palace, Valentine naturally dressed up, but because she was still young, she did not wear any additional accessories. She just wore a white gauze skirt decorated with lace.

Otherwise, there would be no need for Her Majesty the Queen to summon such a young Valentine alone. . \u003c/br\u003eSo, this is to examine whether Valentine is worthy of this "honor". \u003c/br\u003eAfter figuring out the joints, the Marquis was naturally overjoyed, and then told Valentine his deduction. \u003c/br\u003e Seeing that her long-cherished "plan to save her father" has made promising progress, Valentine is naturally as happy as her grandfather. However, along with the excitement comes unspeakable pressure.

However, Valentine still remembers her grandfather’s teachings and looks around without losing her composure. With a calm and calm look on his face, he supported his grandfather and followed the guards towards the depths of the palace. \u003c/br\u003eSoon, they were taken to the waiting hall. After a short wait, a palace attendant and a female official quietly walked up to the grandfather and grandson. \u003c/br\u003e "Your Majesty, Marquis, your Majesty is free now and will meet you in the study - please follow me." The attendant bowed his head to the Marquis respectfully. \u003c/br\u003e "As for Miss Valentine, Her Majesty the Queen is waiting for her. Please come with me -" the female officer also whispered. \u003c/br\u003eThe Marquis looked back at Valentine, and then nodded as a final encouragement. \u003c/br\u003e "Valentina, no matter what the outcome is, I will always be proud of you." \u003c/br\u003e Then, he strode away with the attendant and went to meet His Majesty. \u003c/br\u003eValentina watched her grandfather's leaving figure, then took a deep breath and looked at the female officer who received her. \u003c/br\u003eThen, she bowed and saluted, "Thank you, madam."\u003c/br\u003eThe palace has always been a place where you can eat and drink. As the wife of the famous court minister, the Marquis of Noirtier, Valentine The granddaughter, who is also the daughter of the equally famous prosecutor Villefort, will naturally receive preferential treatment that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

Her Majesty the Queen has always been tolerant to others, and you are so outstanding... I believe she will be very satisfied with you." \u003c/br\u003eThen, the two of them did not Without further words, the female officer took Valentine all the way to Teresa's reception room. \u003c/br\u003eAs Her Majesty the Queen’s private reception place, this room naturally shows the royal style. The large room is covered with huge carpets, exquisite furniture in the Rococo style, and hanging silk brocades. and draperies, and everywhere looked opulent.

\u003c/br\u003eIn such a jeweled place, ordinary women would be dazzled, but Valentine came from a noble family after all, so she managed to take it lightly. She quickly noticed the man sitting on the central sofa. , a young woman wearing a palace skirt. \u003c/br\u003eAlthough this was their first meeting, it was obvious that she knew who the other person was without any introduction. \u003c/br\u003e "Your Majesty the Queen! I am honored to be summoned by you..." Following the process that she had rehearsed countless times at home, she walked gently to Queen Theresa, and then solemnly said to Theresa. salute. \u003c/br\u003eThen, she kept bending her knees, lowered her head and looked at Teresa's feet, silently accepting the scrutiny of Her Majesty the Queen. \u003c/br\u003eShe did not wait too long, and soon Teresa broke the silence in the room with a very kind tone. \u003c/br\u003e "Valentina! This is my private summons. You don't have to be so formal...please sit down." \u003c/br\u003eAt this time, Valentine dared to raise her head and look directly at young Trey Queen Elizabeth. \u003c/br\u003eAt this time, what caught her eyes was Teresa's kind and gentle smile. This smile contained appreciation and expectations, which made her feel a little warm. \u003c/br\u003eAm I probably successful? Valentine asked in her mind. \u003c/br\u003eHowever, she did not show any emotion on the surface, but sat respectfully in front of Theresa. \u003c/br\u003eFacing the young, beautiful and graceful Her Majesty the Queen, her heart was also full of admiration and self-esteem, and she believed that even if she grew up, she would not be able to have such grace and appearance. \u003c/br\u003eHowever, fortunately, she is the Queen of the Empire. She does not need to consider "matching". She only needs to learn a few points, and she should be able to be praised by everyone, right? \u003c/br\u003eFacing the silent and worried Valentine, Teresa, who knew the inside story, inevitably had some sympathy. \u003c/br\u003e "Oh, poor child. It's really embarrassing for you to face bloody hatred at this age and think about who you will marry in the future! It is the sin of the fathers to let such a fragile daughter How unfair it is to pay for it." Her Majesty the Queen's emotion also aroused the pain in Valentine's heart, but she still maintained her composure, and then used a determined tone Reply Theresa. \u003c/br\u003e "Your Majesty the Queen, I don't think there is anything unfair about this. The expenses I have had since childhood, the education I have received since I was a child, and everything I can get when I grow up are all given to me by my parents and ancestors. Since I have shared the glory brought by their wealth and titles, of course I cannot stay away from their sins...\u003c/br\u003eIt is impossible for me to enjoy all the benefits my father has given me and be careless when my father is facing disaster. Saying 'Oh, this is just a trouble he caused himself, what does it have to do with me?', and then watch him die with peace of mind. This is not what a child should do. On the contrary, I must at this time Stand up and do everything possible to save your father's life and repay the sins he committed... I believe you can understand me." Faced with Valentine's firm and honest response, Special Lesa was noncommittal on the surface, but she nodded secretly in her heart. \u003c/br\u003e Born in the royal family, she also has a strong sense of family. For her, her father's love and care for her since she was a child are a kindness that is difficult to repay. \u003c/br\u003eAlthough her father had been upright and upright throughout his life and would never be as full of sins as Villefort, she asked herself that if her father was in trouble, she would save his life at all costs. \u003c/br\u003eNot for anything else, just because that is his father. \u003c/br\u003eBecause of this, she accepted Valentine's words. \u003c/br\u003eA young child is willing to use his meager strength to wash away the grievances and sins that have been buried for more than ten years, and can even talk to the queen. This courage is worthy of appreciation. \u003c/br\u003e "It seems that you have completely made up your mind..." After a moment, Theresa spoke again, "But, Valentine, I still want to remind you that for a girl, marriage is not What a light thing, but entrusting your life to it! After all, you are still young and don’t understand the weight of it. If you regret it in the future, it will be irreparable."\u003c/br\u003e "Yes, Your Majesty, I do I am young, so I know that anything I say will be regarded as childish and not convincing enough..." Valentine nodded slightly, but still looked at Theresa with determination, "But, I must I am proud to tell you that in addition to being myself, I am also a descendant of the Noirtier family and the Saint-Meran family that have been passed down for hundreds of years! I know the weight of every word I say, and I also know that I am definitely not for Living alone, I regard the reputation of my family as something more important than myself, so I will never do anything to tarnish it. I am willing to marry the Count of Monte Cristo and will dedicate everything I have in the future. I will do my best to take care of him, help him, continue his family line, and make our family as prominent and prosperous as the family I came from. I believe we can do it!"\u003c/br\u003e Although Valentine's voice was very soft when she spoke, Her demeanor and eyes at this moment were enough to make anyone believe in her determination at this moment. \u003c/br\u003eTeresa kept looking at her, and then asked again.

"Then have you ever thought about the price you will pay?"\u003c/br\u003e "I have not thought about it, and I don't need to think about it. I dare to ask you, have you ever thought about it before?" Valentine He asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, you have a legendary story, which has been so widely spread that I have heard it before. For the lover you chose, you pursued him desperately when you were 16 years old. Have you thought about the consequences? Are you afraid of the consequences? No, you won't... So, I follow your example! I am just a few years younger than you were at that time, but I also have the same characteristics as you Determination, just watch it if you don’t believe it.” Theresa was stunned at first, and then suddenly burst into laughter. \u003c/br\u003e "Pfft, haha, I was confused... I was really confused. However, I was doing it for my lover, and your motives were different."\u003c/br\u003e "Then I will What if I fall in love with him, even if we are very different in age? A happy life is never determined by age, everything depends on man-made efforts." Valentine replied without hesitation, "Your Majesty, I will prove that I can afford it. All responsible, so I implore you to give me such an opportunity, Your Majesty..." After saying that, she stood up again, and then respectfully saluted Teresa again, waiting for the judgment of fate. \u003c/br\u003eFacing the short, immature, yet secretly admirable Valentine, Teresa suddenly had an indescribable feeling. \u003c/br\u003eShe is indeed serious, and she can indeed do everything she says - although there is no basis for it, she still believes so. \u003c/br\u003e "Did you think of these words yourself, or did your grandfather help make them up?" Theresa asked suddenly. \u003c/br\u003eValentina's face blushed slightly, UU Reading www.uｕkanshu.net "Some... some are helped by grandpa."\u003c/br\u003e "It doesn't matter, you can say it fluently in front of me. These words are already your ability." Teresa smiled and then motioned for her to sit down again. \u003c/br\u003eShe really appreciated Valentine's performance. \u003c/br\u003eBecause she herself is such a determined and desperate person. \u003c/br\u003e Moreover, she likes the temperament displayed by Valentine very much: modest and prudent, dignified and gentle, without that disgusting frivolity, just like her past self. \u003c/br\u003eIsn’t this exactly the person she wants to cultivate? \u003c/br\u003eAlthough France is known as a Catholic country, the domestic trend of glitz and dissoluteness has been around for a long time, and has become a social rule that all classes are used to and accepted. Not only are they not surprised by those romantic affairs, but they regard them as A great source of conversation. \u003c/br\u003eIf nothing else, the matter between her husband and Miss Agnes was felt by everyone in the country to be a matter of course. \u003c/br\u003eShe never thought that she could change the "fad" of the entire nation by herself. She just hoped that at least within the scope of her own ability, she would try to be as serious as possible about the habits in the palace, so that people would not feel that the palace under her leadership was filthy. Crossflow. \u003c/br\u003eAnd Valentine is exactly the person she wants to see. \u003c/br\u003e "Come here often, Valentine." After a moment of silence, Teresa suddenly looked at the little girl in front of her in a friendly manner, "The one we want to match to Edmund is the purest and smartest one. The bride, so don’t learn bad things from outside.”\u003c/br\u003e\u003c/br\u003e
