The Legend of Fatality

Catherine had been pacing around the room ever after telling Lotel about Bill Bally's possible invasion of Burtania. He went to talk to King Charles and Ambrose, and now he is back, pale and exhausted.

"Any news?"

"I talked to Ambrose, but apart from that letter, there is no other evidence. Although I think this evidence is actually enough. But I still talked to my father. He thought it was appropriate to postpone the wedding. Yes. It is impossible to hold a wedding tomorrow. "

Catherine was not surprised by the news, but by the slightest disappointment it caused. For a long time, marriage has been her goal. Now, in an instant, it disappeared. She said lightly: "I understand."

"In fact, starting from practical considerations, I had hoped to go west with my troops tonight. I will hide the fact that I have left-announce to me that I am sick. Everyone knows that I have a lot of old injuries , So I guess most people will believe it. I missed a lot of events, although missing my wedding was the most extreme of them, even for me. "Lothal smiled bitterly, trying to explain his thoughts to Catherine.

"I understand." Catherine said again.

"But my father hopes to interrogate Ambrose at the dinner to confirm the reliability of the news. Obviously, we cannot get married immediately unless we undoubtedly determine the truth of the invasion." Lotel shook his head Continued. "The interrogation at the dinner will reveal the matter regardless of the outcome."

"Has King Charles not considered this?" Catherine wondered. "Maybe he thinks this will not happen?"

"My father must have his own considerations, maybe there is something I don't know about." Lothal hesitated and continued. "Catherine, what you did today may have saved thousands of lives. It may have saved my kingdom. No matter what will happen, my father and I will be very grateful for this. You have proved it without a doubt. You will become a great Queen of Burtania. But you also won the right to make your own decisions. If war really breaks out, once I have dealt with your father, I will come back and give you a choice. If you Willing to marry me, I will happily fulfill our marriage contract. If not, I will release you, you can act at will. If another person is more important in your heart, I will not stand among you. "

Catherine's mind was confused, and for a moment she felt that she might be fainting. She felt freedom, unprecedented freedom, but at the same time felt inexplicably lost. Lotel's proposal is extraordinary. Let her make her own choices—husband, country, future—that exceeded all her expectations.

However, as she sang Ambrose in her heart, her mind was filled with Lotel and his simple and kind words. She never thought about marrying him, but now, for the first time, she saw what kind of husband he would be — considerate, respectful, and wise — and how they would rule Burtania together.

Suddenly facing the prospect of a life entirely determined by herself, Catherine was speechless with excitement. She can only nod and say, "I understand. Thank you."

Lotel nodded as well. There was a small wrinkle on his unwounded forehead, and he seemed to be expecting more. But even if it were true, he quickly recovered.

"Before the dinner, I would like to ask you if you can tell me more about your father's plans. Why did he invade Burtania? Why did he choose to be west of Lancaster? Any information you have may come Important. "

Catherine shook her head. "I have no other news, Your Highness. I also hope I have. These are meaningless to me. There are many reasons to prove that the invasion is meaningless. My mother always said that my father ’s only real ambition was Recapture Istania. Everything he did-everything-should be viewed from this perspective. But I can't see how this invasion will help achieve this goal. If he wants Istania, why waste his manpower, money and time in the war against Burtania? Is he just wanting to plunder? Bill Bally ... not as rich as before. Silan Is there anything valuable in Stirling? "

"The west of Lancaster is the poorest part of the country. There is nothing there, only woods, beasts and monsters." Lotel said.

"Monster." Catherine remembered Miss Anne again. "Monster smoke. Boys." She paused. "Will my father want to use monster smoke in some way?"

Lothal shook his head. "As far as I know, it will make you relax, make you happy, and make you sleep. But it is not a tool for war. At least I have never heard of this kind of thing used in war."

This is exactly what Sir Roland said, but Catherine thinks what Miss Anne is telling her is important. "But the monsters themselves, they sound terrible."

"Yes, but they can't be tamed ... at least not in the army. Why do you ask them?" Lotaire wondered. "Those monsters will emerge like weeds in a few years. They will attack villages and kill farmers, but they are not a real threat to us. Even if they can be tamed, I do n’t think Bill Barry Can win in war. "

Catherine wanted to tell Miss Anne when she was executed, but that would turn the conversation to Ambrose, so she shook her head.

"Just an idea." Catherine said. But her father bought monster cigarettes, and bought a lot. Miss Annie gestured. Can she know about the invasion? Is this what she wants to warn? If so, why not make a gesture of war?

"Well, maybe the only way to find the answer is to go west ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ or wait for my father's interrogation of Ambrose at the dinner," Lotel said. "I have to go, Catherine. My guard is monitoring Peverley and his men. Peverley is hunting this afternoon and will have a banquet later, but at the dinner he will meet Ambrose and confront him. I do n’t want to guess what he will do at that time. If Bill Barry ’s invasion is true, then he may not receive the news in advance. He may decide to leave and try to take you with you. ”

"Whatever you ask me to do," Catherine swears, "I will not return to Bill Barry."

"I'm glad to hear you say that. I have twenty people at your door at any time. If you need something, think of something that might be helpful. If you need to send me a message-tell them.

"Last question: Where is Ambrose?"

"A safe and comfortable place. I won't hurt him."

"I want to meet him. He did nothing wrong, he took a big risk to help us."

"Yes, but it's safer to keep him where he and Peverley don't meet. If what he said is true, he might be free after the dinner."

Catherine had a feeling that it was not Lotel's main concern, but she had no reason to ask to see Ambrose, except that she wanted to see him. She said: "I'm glad you care about his safety. It was his information that helped Burtania."

"I will always be grateful for this. As soon as the dinner is over, you can see Ambrose, and of course your maids."

Catherine felt Lothal's expression seemed different, but she couldn't be sure of it herself, so she bowed her knees. "Thank you, Your Highness."

Lotel took her hand and pulled her up. Put his lips on her fingers and turned away.
