Chapter 306: The Self-Doubting Princess
As a princess of the royal family, Blanche is naturally of noble origin.
It was a pity that after the two grandsons of Grand Duke Valghis who she was married to all died of illness, there were rumors that "whoever marries Blanche will die", which made her situation very embarrassing.
Especially later, after His Majesty Bruno wanted her to marry the third grandson of Archduke Varghese, but the Grand Duke declined, Blanche became a faint joke among the nobles.
So much so that when she turned eighteen last year, not to mention getting married, there was not even a family interested in marrying her, which made the royal family lose face.
In this case, there are still many people coming to celebrate Blanche’s birthday?
"Nobles all like to be lively, especially banquets held by the royal family. They prefer to participate."
Qiao Li explained: "But many of them came to see the embarrassment of His Majesty the Royal Family. After all, Her Royal Highness the Princess will be nineteen years old after celebrating this birthday, but now she doesn't even have a marriage partner. This Not a good thing for the royal family."
Luo Ning asked in surprise: "Do you even know that Her Highness the Princess cannot marry?"
"Hahaha……"
Qiao Li couldn't help but laugh, "My lord, you may not understand, but discussing the royal family and the great nobles is something we people often do on a daily basis."
No matter where you go, there will always be people eating melons, especially the melons of big people, which are likely to become a topic of conversation after dinner.
It is estimated that among the public, Blanche's situation is somewhat similar to that of Wiggins, who still has his legs, and they are both a joke.
It's just that she was a little unfair.
Qiao Li couldn't help but sigh: "I once watched Her Royal Highness the Princess from a distance. She has a very outstanding appearance. It's a pity that she will bring disaster to her fiancé. The two grandsons of Grand Duke Valghis died in her hands." Even their father, who presided over the marriage, did not escape bad luck. No one would dare to marry such a person. "
Reese couldn't help but glance at Ronin.
Luo Ning came to Golden Feather City this time to express his gratitude to Her Royal Highness the Princess for attending Lu Lansi's birthday last year, but as the heir of the Dennis family, Reese knew what was going on.
Faced with Reese's "Are you scared?" expression, Luo Ning spread his hands to show that he was not afraid at all.
He explained for Blanche: "Actually, there are a lot of misunderstandings about this matter. The two grandsons of Grand Duke Varghese are probably already weak and sick."
"Marquis Jonson is not a sick person, and it is said that the Grand Duke's third grandson, Garneau, immediately fell seriously ill after learning that he was going to marry Her Highness the Princess. He gradually recovered after the Grand Duke declined."
This... must be scary, right?
Qiao Li obviously didn't know the purpose of Luo Ning's visit, so he seemed to have opened up a chat box and said something.
"If you only lose a little money by marrying Princess Blanche, it's okay to say that the Duke is not short of money. But who can bear the loss of human life after the marriage? Now some people are saying that if His Majesty the King doesn't like any family, he will directly kill it. Just marry Princess Blanche."
Luo Ning couldn't help but sigh. It seemed like it took a lot of courage for him to accept this marriage.
However, when Lu Lansi presided over the marriage, it was for the sake of Luo Ning's future. If it were done now, the old man might also have taboos in this regard and not agree to this matter.
But no matter what, now that the two parties have reached an agreement, the marriage must go forward. What's more, in Luo Ning's opinion, being able to marry the royal family will be helpful to his future.
As for rumors of bad luck and curses, Luo Ning didn't believe them.
Um……
Although he did encounter several dangers after meeting Blanche, they were all saved.
The key still depends on personal strength.
…
Golden Feather Palace, the headquarters of the Alduin family.
It is not a palace, but a complex of buildings composed of dozens of palaces, thousands of courtyards, and houses.
This scale of building is not only the most prosperous and noble area in Golden Feather City, but also no noble castle in the entire kingdom can compare with it.
As the princess of the kingdom, Blanche's residence is located in a lush green garden, surrounded by high walls and strong towers to protect her safety and privacy.
In the Golden Feather Palace, apart from the servants who served her, she didn't have many friends. This may have been caused by the rumors. When she was at the Royal Academy of Magic, many students tried to avoid contact with her as much as possible.
Finally, at her request, the king agreed to hire a tutor for her and let her study in his palace.
This environment is lonely, but at least it is more comfortable than seeing someone deliberately avoiding her or overhearing someone talking about her anytime and anywhere.
Practicing, reading, and walking around the manor admiring all kinds of beautiful flowers and trees are her main daily activities, which are very peaceful.
But as her nineteenth birthday approaches, her peaceful life is about to be broken.
At the same time, her mood also became uneasy. She had already learned from her father that Luo Ning would attend the birthday party.
Thinking of Luo Ning's handsome appearance and the kiss she stole when they parted, she couldn't help but blush on her face.
Although she was a princess, her initiative was too abrupt, but she really wanted to get rid of the fate that was regarded as bad luck. This could be regarded as her efforts for her own life.
I just don’t know if this marriage can go to the end.
"Your Highness, your friend Knight Missy is here." A maid came from outside to report.
"oh?"
Blanche, who was painting in the garden, showed a look of joy. She immediately put down her pen and did not let the servant pass the message. She ran out to greet her in person.
This was not only because Missy was her good friend, but also because she might bring the news she wanted.
Today, Missy was not wearing armor or a helmet, revealing her short golden hair. Compared with Blanche's gentle beauty, she looked like a tomboy.
Blanche ran over and took the other person's hand, and asked expectantly: "How is it, Missy, is he here?"
"Look how anxious you are!" Missy also smiled, "Just heard from Niujiao Bay Port that he has arrived."
Blanche's hanging heart finally let go, "How is Roning, did he have a smooth journey?"
Hearing this, Missy frowned slightly and shook her head: "I heard that they were attacked by the White Whale Pirates at sea."
"Ah?"
Blanche was stunned, and a panic flashed in her eyes, "How could this happen? Is he injured?"
"He's fine. But I heard that the ship of the Dennis family was destroyed, and the accompanying guards and crew also suffered a lot of casualties."
Blanche breathed a sigh of relief. Although the panic on her face eased a little, she was still very sad and in a very low mood.
She pulled Missy inside, "Tell me, will I bring bad luck to others?"
Rumors from the outside world have been circulating for years. Not to mention others, even she herself sometimes doubts herself.
If the answer is no, then why do people who marry her die?
"Why do you think so?"
Missi smiled sincerely and comforted: "I know you are a kind girl. How could those bad luck and curses have anything to do with you?"
"But Roning has been almost killed twice since he met me."
Blanche shook her head in fear. She didn't dare to imagine what kind of life she would face after Roning's death.
"It was just an accident, my princess!"
"Is it really an accident?"
Blanche's jade fingers moved in the void, drawing a spell pattern.
When the spell pattern was completed, the dark light surged, forming a summoning array diagram.
Immediately afterwards, a skull wearing a simple helmet slowly rose from the array diagram.
"This is the third-level magic skull summoning technique!"
Missi's eyes flashed, "Are you a senior magician?"
Blanche nodded, stretched out her hand to press the skull back, and there was no joy on her face after the strength promotion.
She was wondering if she was good at dark element magic, which caused her to bring bad luck to others.
As a friend of the princess, Missy knew what the latter was thinking at the moment.
"You are not the only dark magician. No one else will bring bad luck, and neither will you."
She looked at Blanche sincerely and said with a smile: "Instead of doubting yourself, it is better for His Majesty the King to send troops to wipe out the White Whale Pirates and vent Ronin's anger!"
This sentence temporarily made Blanche get rid of her self-doubt. She nodded: "You are right. I will go to my father now!" (End of this chapter)
