Chapter 1005

Since I was a child, I knew I was different.

When I was very young, I knew that I was different from other girls.

I am the daughter of the Duke, and my identity means absolute dignity, luxury and inviolability.

If I say so, it may seem that I am a very bad woman, right? But this is really not my intention. I'm just very conscious of my identity.

Born in the Duke of golden fruit family, I have the second noble surname in this country.

Many people may think this is a very enviable thing. But that's all I feel.

In addition to my surname, I am an ordinary girl. I will have my own favorite things and hate doing some reluctant things. I also cry, make trouble, and want to get rid of the persuasion of the people around me. I pinch my skirt and go barefoot to the fountain to step on the splashing water.

In spite of this, I will eventually get my parents scolded.

As the daughter of the Duke's family, I knew what my existence meant from an early age.

Almost without my parents, I can understand from those tutors that I will have and only have one identity in the future, that is, the imperial concubine of the blue bay empire.

Marrying into the royal family may be a very envious topic for ordinary girls, but it is so common for me. Because this road is a road that has long been prepared for me, I don't have to envy anything at all.

My parents love me very much, especially my father. He often tells me that I am the most important treasure in his life.

However, even treasures need to be tempered. A simple, uncut gem may be a good material, but it is not enough to be admired on the crown.

So when I just remembered, I began to learn all kinds of things.

Dancing, painting, music, appreciating jewelry, learning tea, and even weekly opera appreciation are all watching those very high-style traditional operas, re immersing themselves in the ancient knowledge rich in tradition and full of long history, so as to make their whole body more suitable to be a noble and dignified imperial concubine.

Such a day seems a little boring for me. If I watch more, I will certainly feel bored.

Although every time I go out to the opera house, many adults will say that I am beautiful and praise me for being polite. I must be an excellent woman in the future, but I am a little bored with this life.

Ah, I'm not dissatisfied with my life. I just feel that this life still lacks a little excitement.

Maybe it's the story book of knight and adventure read the other night? Or the princess and dragon opera I saw last week?

Adventure and magic seem to have more or less affected my thinking, making me feel that there are always some unusual things waiting for me to find in this world.

In this way, I have been expecting and waiting for something.

In such ignorance, I came to my eighth birthday.

But on my eighth birthday, something happened in my family that made my father, several uncles and uncles, and several brothers very difficult.

On my birthday, his royal highness was invited to congratulate me.

On that day, I saw the prince. He came to me in a gorgeous military uniform and gloves. And knelt down on one knee in front of me and kissed my fingers.

Your highness is really handsome ~ ~ ~!

It was also on that day that I really realized the true meaning of the concept that I would become a imperial concubine. That means I will marry the prince, become this handsome big brother and become his family!

But I know.

Although my father and brother didn't tell me, I could see it from their disappointed faces.

Your highness likes me, but maybe you just take care of me as a lovely little sister?

From the conversation with the maids, I learned that as a prince, his highness must exercise his strength and leadership. Therefore, he has been on the battlefield and is a very mature man at the age of 18. For a little girl like me, he is a big brother worthy of my vision, but he is not a man who will become my husband.

Moreover, the crown prince seems more interested in sister Natalie than me.

Well, sister Natalie ~ ~ ~ I like sister Natalie very much, too.

That day, I saw her cleaning up the dinner plate after the dinner. When she went out, she accidentally ran into the crown prince's brother who was relaxing in the garden. At first, they seemed to be arguing about something, but soon, I felt that sister Natalie's face seemed to be full of a smile. When the crown prince brother looked at his sister, the smile on his face became more and more relaxed, which was completely different from that when he looked at me.

Ah, although I saw this scene, I have no problem with sister Natalie.

She is a good sister and always smiles at everyone.

Although I said she would do some maid work just now, she is not our maid ~ ~ ~!

Loosely speaking, sister Natalie and our family should be distant relatives.

Listening to their parents, it seems that it is so far away that they almost forget that there is such a small family.

Sister Natalie's father was not a Duke like my father, but a baron who was nothing.

Although it is not a civilian, it should be almost the same?

In terms of seniority, it seems that I should call sister Natalie's father "Uncle", but my father never let me call me that. Even if I met the uncle several times, the man showed great respect to me. He didn't look like my elder.

Therefore, I haven't called his uncle. It seems that he is also very satisfied with his position in the Duke's house.

On a rainy night two years ago, Natalie's sister's father brought her over. It seems that he owes a lot of money and is being chased and killed, so he hopes to foster Natalie's sister in our house first.

My father promised to come down, and also said he could pay money to help the man pay off all his debts.

However, the man seems to understand that he will be deprived of his only title with a little dignity? So I didn't promise. I just kept saying that when I raised the money, I would come back and find a way to pick up sister Natalie.

Then the man disappeared.

Let me see, it seems that he didn't come back until the moment when sister Natalie and the crown prince's brother were engaged, did he? Then, he found a painless job in the Imperial City, which can be regarded as keeping his dignity.

Back to sister Natalie, she looked a little cautious when she first came into my house.

But soon she began to get familiar with her servants.

She seems to be naturally so cheerful that she can deliver a lot of laughter wherever she goes. In my family, she is a very unique existence.

She is not a maid, but she does some maid work every day.

She was the Baron's daughter, but there was no barrier between her and the servants.

My father doesn't seem to like my contact with sister Natalie, but sometimes I still sneak out and talk to sister Natalie.

She told me a lot about the outside world, about the distant mountains, the endless desert, and all kinds of terrible Warcraft! Every time I listen, I will listen. My heart is surging! Even if I've heard some stories several times, I still feel interested.

Therefore, when sister Natalie and the crown prince met, I didn't feel uncomfortable.

Sister Natalie is not a slave. She is also the daughter of an aristocrat. Since I am an aristocrat, I can become the wife of the crown prince. Facts have proved that their combination is really correct. I am sincerely happy for their wedding.

But I am happy, but my family is not very happy.

The daughter of the golden fruit family should not be a mistress, and I don't want to destroy the relationship between sister Natalie and the crown prince.

In this case, if you look around, there is only one last choice to ensure my entry into the royal family, that is, the second prince.

But

From the beginning, I didn't like the second prince very much.

He did not have the steadiness of the crown prince, nor did he look at me with the affectionate eyes when the crown prince looked at Natalie's sister.

My first contact with the second prince was in a spring.

That day, when I was ten years old, I rode out for an outing with my family.

When my horse ran out of control, it was his Highness the second prince who stopped my horse.

In hindsight, I think it should be an arrangement prepared by parents.

But it doesn't matter, because this is my first encounter with tidal blue, the second prince who looks a little frivolous and doesn't like to talk to me, and then looks at me with eyes that are not as dedicated as other boys.

Ah ~ ~ ~ what should I do?

Day after day, I stayed in my room, holding my favorite doll and sighing.

I don't think the second prince likes me very much. Similarly, I don't like him very much.

Strangely enough, when I saw the way the crown prince looked at Natalie's sister, I suddenly understood what the so-called "political marriage" meant.

I have always understood this since I was a child, and I have nothing to complain about. After all, as a female of the golden fruit family, my inherent mission is to make my family more prosperous.
