In the Name of the Queen

"Dear, are they really coming?"

The voice was trembling a little, and the comb in her hand slipped accidentally and fell to the ground, making a crisp sound of ding-dong.

The precious white jade comb was broken into several pieces.

There was no time to cry for the broken comb. The girl who was dressing stood up in a panic, lowered her head helplessly, and did not dare to look back.

A gentle and deep magnetic mature male voice came from behind.

"Edina, although my daughter has become the new emperor, she is still kind and simple by nature. Don't be nervous, she must be here to bless us."

Hearing the voice of her lover, the girl who was dressing turned slowly.

She has almost perfect facial features and a slender figure, her skin is as white as jade, and a few light blues are faintly revealed.

She wore a graceful and gorgeous dress, but because of her evasive eyes, she did not have the majesty of a superior.

This was the second time in her life that the sea witch was so flustered.

The last time was when she revealed her heart to Edward.

Edward's eyes were like a warm big hand, gently caressing her messy heart.

Adina often wondered how there could be such a perfect man as Edward.

To be fair, Adina had seen the world.

There were many excellent young men in the sea demon tribe, but she looked down on them completely.

The sea demon youths were too impetuous and immature.

Adina, who had been without a father since childhood, was full of desire for a solid chest in her heart, but she didn't know it.

When Edward first appeared in front of her, he was covered in blood and in a mess.

However, even when he was at the end of his rope, he still kept smiling, and even had the leisure to reach out and smooth his messy hair.

This calmness of "the head can be broken but the hair cannot be messed up" touched the girl's heartstrings.

She spent a sky-high price of fifty pearls to buy Edward from the greedy General Hai Ao.

Later, she learned that Edward was the emperor of the human Sussex Empire.

She was a little panicked, fearing that Edward would leave her, so she simply paid to buy all the human survivors and settled them in the underwater city of Petit.

This is her kingdom, and she is the queen here.

She carefully maintained Edward's dignity, fearing that the impoverished emperor would choose to commit suicide in anger because of the loss of freedom.

She didn't know that she was really overthinking.

Edward did have the elegance and calmness of a top noble, but he was afraid of death.

He was only in his forties, in a high position, and had a lot of life to enjoy, so how could he bear to die.

In this way, the two people with a twenty-year age difference met magically and sparked love in the deep underwater world.

Adina lacked fatherly love since childhood, and Edward's maturity, stability and versatility made her unable to extricate herself.

Edward sank to the bottom of the sea and was taken away by General Hai Ao to become a slave. He was originally desperate, but was rescued by Adina, and was naturally grateful to the sea witch.

Feeling the sea witch's affection for him, his heart became much younger.

In the first few months, he still had the ambition to return to land, but after learning that his good daughter had opened up a new province from overseas, the idea of ​​going back faded.

Before Sylph officially ascended the throne, she had achieved far more achievements than him, which shows that she was much better than him in being an emperor.

Excellent emperors don't care much about family affection.

It would be fine if he didn't go back, but going back would force his daughter to kill her father.

He couldn't even blame her, that was the rule of the game.

After thinking this through, he simply stayed at the bottom of the sea and enjoyed the love of the sea witch who looked at him shyly.

Since they were interested in each other, some things would come sooner or later.

Just when the sea witch complained for the third time that she was already 23 years old and was about to become an old maid, Edward sang a soft and soothing song, held a bouquet of flowers in his hand, knelt on one knee and proposed to her.

The witch's tears flew all over the sky and turned into a string of pearls.

The pearls were strung together, held in Edward's hands, and worn on the witch's white neck.

They decided to get married.

The sea witch was the queen of Petit, and of course no one objected to her getting married, even if the other party was a human.

She gave all her tenderness to Edward, and she was a majestic and even cold king in front of her subjects.

The wedding was easy to handle, and there were officials to take care of it, but there was still a problem.

What about their relatives?

The father of the Sea Witch died early, and her mother also passed away a few years ago, so she was an orphan.

Since Edward could become the emperor, his father was naturally gone, and his mother unfortunately passed away a few years later.

He was also an orphan.

He only had one last relative left, Sylph.

If Sylph didn't come, this wedding would always be a bit regretful.

After not seeing each other for two years, he missed his daughter a little.

Edward was somewhat uneasy when he sent out the handwritten letter and the invitation.

He was afraid that his daughter would think he was ridiculous, and he was even more afraid that his daughter would become a mature king and no longer be bound by family affection.

If this day was destined to come, could it be a few days later.

He prayed to God, but no one responded.

Just when Edward thought there would be no response, good news came.

His daughter and her lover came.

Edward was a little curious about who the guy who helped his daughter stabilize the throne was.

Roland?

This name is good, and he was a little curious.

Outside the Witch Palace, watching the grand welcome ceremony, Sylph held Roland's hand tightly, and her palms were sweating.

"Roland, I'm a little nervous."

"Don't worry, the sea witches shouldn't be hostile. Even if the guides and shore personnel lied, the purchased materials won't lie." Roland comforted softly.

Sif's voice trembled slightly, "I, I'm so worried about my father. What if he insists on going back?"

"Don't worry, he may not be an excellent king, but he certainly understands the basic principles."

Roland held Sif's hand tightly with his backhand and said softly: "There are some things that are not convenient for you to say, but I will do it."

Sif nodded silently and said nothing.

Roland was right, there were some things she couldn't say, but Roland could.

A long horn sounded, and hundreds of soldiers lined up neatly to welcome Roland and Sif with the etiquette of welcoming state guests.

Sif's eyes widened and her lips trembled uncontrollably.

The soldiers separated, and standing in the middle of the passage was her father who had been missing for two years.

She couldn't control it anymore, rushed forward, threw herself into her father's arms, and burst into tears.

All grievances and suspicions disappeared at this moment.

She is not an orphan, she has a father, and that is enough.

Edward had prepared countless words, but they all remained on his lips, unable to be spoken.

He could only caress the ends of Sif's hair and comfort her gently: "My dear daughter, don't cry. We are still alive and well and can still see each other. This is a gift from the goddess."

Sif quickly wiped the tears from her cheeks and whimpered, her voice slurred.

"Father, you are so cruel, you won't even write a letter. If you weren't going to get married, would you have kept it secret from me for the rest of your life?"

Edward sighed, not knowing what to say.

He wanted to write, but what could he write?

The emperor of the first empire of mankind is trapped in the underwater city, relying on the love of the sea witch to live safely?

It's embarrassing to tell anyone.

What's more, will his good daughter really come to save him?

He didn't want to face this problem.

The cruelty of the power struggle will tear all family ties apart.

Roland appeared at the right time and comforted Sif, "Don't cry, your father is also in trouble. You have to understand him more."

Edward's expression changed slightly.

He understood Roland's voiceover.

He is no longer the emperor of the empire.

Roland didn't call him His Majesty the Emperor, but Sylph's father.

He had a flash of anger, but it quickly disappeared.

If he doesn't want this last family affection to disappear, he'd better forget that he was once an emperor.

Edward smiled and said: "My dear daughter, I am getting old, and the future of the empire depends on you. And this one."

"Roland, he is mine." Sif was about to introduce Roland, but suddenly she didn't know what to call him.

She wanted to announce that Roland was her fiancé with a somewhat demonstrative attitude, but Roland had not formally proposed to her, so naturally it didn't count.

He also owed her a romantic proposal.

Sif was stunned, but Roland couldn't be in a daze.

"I am Sif's guardian Roland, and I will protect her with my life."

This answer is neither humble nor arrogant, and it also points out the relationship with Sif. It is a perfect answer.

Edward's eyes lit up.

Roland, right? He's a very good young man, and he's worthy of his daughter.

My daughter is the most beautiful girl in the world.

However, beauty is not luck. Being beautiful at this level is more like a curse. Even if she is a princess, her marriage will most likely be tragic.

Fortunately, she was born into a royal family, so she could live a happy life even without love.

Edward has always been reluctant to arrange a political marriage for his daughter, and also rewarded her with the earldom of Tyrone, just to let her find a husband.

Although he is a king, he still has some affection for his children, so he naturally does not want his daughter to suffer.

When he first saw Roland, he was a little unhappy that his daughter had been taken away, but he was quickly relieved.

Love never makes sense.

Just like he never imagined that his destination would be the Sea Witch.

Since my daughter likes it, it is the best.
