Her simple words of flattery can be interpreted as respect for the queen after agreeing to the marriage.
If Melanie took the opportunity to call her "Sister Lily", the matter would be settled.
Any further explanation from her would probably have made Melanie walk away in anger.
Sure enough, Melanie looked at her with a smile, a hint of amusement in her eyes.
"Roland and I will be returning home soon. Before we go back, there is one very important thing we need to confirm, so I naturally have to talk to you about it."
Lily wanted to find a well to jump into to sober up.
What you fear will come true. Melanie's eyes were just like she was looking at her own sister.
After a brief period of confusion, countless fragments flashed before Lily's eyes.
When they first met, Roland smashed up the branch of the Rock Chamber of Commerce in angrily to save Lucy, and Janice resurrected her sister, which was a great favor.
Not long ago, Roland personally led 5,000 elite soldiers and risked his life to regain the crown for her.
Lucy led the army to support the defense of the World Tree, which was considered a favor in return, but she still owed Roland a big favor.
She made a split-second decision.
No matter what Melanie asked, she would agree to it. Any hesitation would be disrespectful to Roland and Melanie.
As soon as the thought came to my mind, my uneasiness was replaced by relief.
She was even a little curious, who would Roland choose? After thinking about it, she felt that it was more likely that he would choose his sister.
Melanie might make a capricious choice, but Roland wouldn't.
No matter how you think about it, my sister is the better choice.
Lily, who completed the deduction in an instant, was seven parts happy, but also three parts disappointed. She was not dissatisfied with losing to her sister in this choice, but she was a little disappointed?
Wait, what does she have to be disappointed about?
Lily, oh Lily, you are the queen now, you can't be as emotional as before.
Of course, Melanie didn't know that Lily had instantly completed a million-word novel in her mind, and she was just as nervous as Lily.
What should I do? How should I start?
How can you say that Roland wants both of you sisters, and neither of you can be missing?
She pretended to be calm and cast her eyes on Lily's fair face.
Seeing Lily's expression which was almost the same as hers, Melanie suddenly understood.
She was uneasy, and the other party was also nervous.
She knew what to say.
Melanice cleared her throat, facing the warm afternoon sun, and her thoughts went back to more than a year ago.
“I have a story about myself that I want to share with you.”
Uh-huh?
Lily looked at Melanie in surprise.
Is it story time now?
She nodded silently, knowing that this story was anything but ordinary.
Melanice's eyes gradually softened as she recalled the past, and her voice became a little more ethereal. "It was an afternoon as bright as today, and I walked into the castle of the Gracia family."
The two walked side by side in the back garden, sharing stories.
When talking about Roland personally leading 5,000 elite soldiers to escort Lily back to the country, Melanice smiled and said, "You know what happened next, so I don't need to say more."
"I came to you for only one thing. My country hopes to form an alliance with your country."
"It is an honor for the Kingdom of Oro, and it is also my honor. I just wonder who will be lucky enough to become His Majesty Roland's favorite?"
Since she had to face it eventually, Lily felt much calmer.
She was waiting for Melanie to say the name.
Whether she chooses her sister rationally or chooses her emotionally, she will agree as quickly as possible.
If it were her, she would abdicate the throne to her sister and put on her wedding dress.
Melanis let out a long sigh, not daring to look Lily in the eye. She bowed her head and whispered, "Roland admires you and Her Highness Lucy very much, and understands that you have a close relationship with your sister and don't want to be separated..."
Melanice's voice became softer and softer as she spoke, and her cheeks turned redder.
What bullshit is this.
If you don't want other sisters to be separated, then let go.
Although it was a little embarrassing, she still had to say what she had to say. Melanie raised her head suddenly and said with a trembling voice, "He wants to marry you and Her Highness Lucy at the same time."
The air was deathly silent, as if frozen.
Their eyes touched lightly in the air and then separated like lightning.
Lily was petrified instantly. She never dreamed that things would develop like this.
After an unknown amount of time, a breeze blew by, lifting the ends of her hair and brushing Lily's cheek, bringing her back to her dazed state.
She asked tentatively, "You mean, His Majesty Roland wants me and my sister to marry him together?"
“It’s a little hard to say, but it’s true.”
Melanice responded softly.
Lily knew that this was not an auditory hallucination.
She opened her mouth, not knowing what mood she was in, and could only use a smile to hide her panic.
"It's my honor, but I never thought it would be like this. My heart is a little confused and I want to be at peace."
"I understand your feelings. In fact, I am also worried."
Melanice looked at Lily frankly and said softly, "So I shared my story with you, just to let you know that no matter what method you use to stay with Roland, you will not regret it."
Looking into Melanie's clear eyes, the shame in Lily's heart gradually dissipated, and she could even understand what Melanie was thinking.
She thought for a moment and said softly, "Although your suggestion sounds absurd, I completely understand it. I will discuss it with my sister, and I believe she will understand it, too."
"But have you ever thought that Queen Oro and Princess Gracia cannot coexist at the same time? The people of Oro cannot accept this."
Lily's meaning was very clear, she couldn't marry Roland as the queen.
This unsolvable problem should be left to the person who made the request.
Melanice was well prepared, and said with gritted teeth: "I know. The only one who publicly married Roland is Her Highness Lucy."
Lily was stunned for a few seconds before finally reacting.
"You intend to make me Roland's secret lover?"
Melanie nodded silently.
The air fell into deathly silence again.
After an unknown amount of time, Lily laughed at herself and said, "I thought I could at least become a princess, but this is the result."
Just when Melanie thought she would angrily drive the guest away, Lily whispered:
"I agree."
Volume 217: The City of Freedom: Chapter : Returning Home in Glory
Lily agreed to Melanie's marriage proposal, but put forward new requirements.
She hoped that Lucy and Roland would get married in the country, and that Lucy would stay in the country for a long time after marriage, so that the people in the country would be more emotionally accepting.
Melanis knew that the Oro people were very concerned about their reputation, and that they would feel uncomfortable if their princess married someone else, but they would welcome a marriage that seemed equal or even beneficial to Oro.
This is not too much to ask.
Even if Lily didn't mention it, Melanie had this plan.
Only in this way can Lily be a secret lover.
Lucy can go with Roland legitimately, but Lily can't.
The final solution was to restart the magic teleportation array between Gracia and Oro, allowing Roland to come here regularly to meet his wife.
After agreeing on the principles of the marriage, both parties felt relieved.
After leaving Shenmu Palace, Melanice looked up to the north, regretting that she had important tasks to attend to and could not go with them.
Just as she was feeling deeply regretful, the pilot Sophia was flying at high speed with two passengers.
There were no airplanes in this era. There were only a few airships and floating cities belonging to super powerful people in the sky.
As long as you avoid these guys you can't afford to offend, you can fly in a straight line with great efficiency.
There was no conversation along the way, and they flew thousands of miles before nightfall.
Sophia had good stamina, and with Roland helping her cast magic to restore her stamina, she could have flown directly to her destination, but flying at night was more dangerous, so they chose to rest.
Just as Sophia was looking for a habitat, Roland, who had used Eagle Eye to observe everything, suddenly pointed to a mountain.
"Just rest there."
Sophia slowly descended, and as she approached the peak, she understood why Roland had chosen this place.
This mountain has an excellent view, and you can see many things clearly even at night under the moonlight.
The three of them set up a defensive magic circle and peripheral warning traps on the top of the mountain, and then rested and recovered their strength.
The next morning, Sophia, who had slept soundly due to exhaustion, was awakened by the morning light.
She looked at Roland standing on the top of the mountain with his hands behind his back, looking out into the distance. She came to his side with some curiosity and followed Roland's gaze.
At the end of Roland's sight, two armies were fighting.
Sophia didn't know the eagle vision technique and couldn't see that far. When she was wondering, Roland handed her a monocular telescope.
Sophia took the telescope curiously and her pupils suddenly contracted.
The Frank Empire had many skilled craftsmen, and alchemy was flourishing, so there were naturally long-range vision devices. As a princess, she had naturally come into contact with these things.
But the clarity of the telescope Roland gave her was astonishing.
The battlefield dozens of miles away seemed as clear as if it were right in front of us.
This is a magical skill that neither alchemy nor traditional craftsmen can achieve.
Compared to the shock brought by the clarity of the telescope, the level of the two warring parties is indeed a bit low and they are totally unworthy of such clarity.
After a brief observation, Sophia put down the telescope in disappointment, frowning slightly.
"I only need 500 guards to defeat an army of this level. What's so good about it?"
Roland's mouth curled up slightly. He knew that what Sophia said was true. Even the five hundred people were a little conservative.
To put it in a positive way, this army has flexible tactics; to put it in a negative way, it is a mob.
He smiled and said, "They are goblins."
"Of course I know it's the goblins... Well, they were defeated by you a long time ago, so why are you so concerned?"
"As for, very much."
Roland said with a serious expression: "This is the army of the Black Gold and White Water chaebols."
"You may not care much about goblins, but I once fought against an entire tribe of goblins, so I have more information about them. The strength of the goblins is far beyond your imagination."
Sophia didn't say anything, there was a bit of disbelief in her eyes, and she almost blurted out "that's it".
Roland said seriously, "Don't underestimate the goblins. They were once the masters of the world and created a glorious civilization. How effective is the telescope you used just now?"
"Although I don't want to admit it, the clarity is far beyond the highest level of our country's alchemy."
Sophia admitted frankly.
"It comes from goblin technology." Roland said calmly.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! If they have such advanced technology, how could they use such backward means to fight?"
Roland nodded and said in a deep voice: "You are right. They are indeed very weak now. This also confirms my guess that the fortune of the goblins is constantly declining."
