At a square table, Moura and Duke Dipu sat opposite each other.
"I went to Beishan Kingdom when I was young. I hadn't ascended the throne at that time, and your father was still the king. He asked the craftsman to give me a mithril war hammer as a souvenir. He never thought that I would marry his daughter one day... ..." Grand Duke Dipu chattered while holding a wine glass.
"..." Mo La put the large piece of steak into her mouth expressionlessly, chewing and chewing.
"Today is an era of change. The empire is rising. Both the Xihe Principality and the Beishan Kingdom should go hand in hand. Conservative countries like Mu Xia will be eliminated sooner or later..." Grand Duke Dipu was immersed in his own political topics.
Mora quickly finished the steak in two bites and began to drink the wine from the glass.
"Throughout the entire history, every era is like a wave on the sea. Only those who can chase the wind and waves have the opportunity to stand out and become the leader of an era. In the wave of the times..."
"belch."
Duke Dipu stopped here when he heard the sound of Mo La burping.
After finishing her drink, Mo La wiped her mouth, turned around and gestured to the servant to remove the empty plate for her, and quickly served the next meal.
Then she suddenly noticed Justice Dipu staring at her and smiled awkwardly at him: "It's okay, you can continue."
"Did your Highness Mora hear what I just said?" Archduke Dipu said with a straight face like a teacher questioning a dozing student.
"Uh, you said you wanted to go to sea?" Mo La tried her best to remember, only remembering what the other party said about "waves" and "piloting".
Grand Duke Dipu exhaled a long breath from his nose seriously, and said with some displeasure: "Because it's a bit embarrassing to bring up, I avoided this topic as much as possible, but now it seems that I still have to talk about it. , Your Highness’s willful behavior has caused a lot of trouble to me and your father.”
After hearing this, Mo La blinked her eyes twice and replied frankly: "But you haven't considered how much trouble this marriage will cause me."
"Your Highness, this marriage is good for my country. In the face of national events, personal gains and losses..." Grand Duke Dipu said in a serious tone.
"It's good for you, it's good for my father, it's not good for me at all." Mo La interrupted before the other party finished speaking, "Don't talk about national interests, I know you are very strong in business talks. Yes, marrying me is purely to satisfy your shameful habits."
"I don't understand what you are talking about? Do you have any misunderstanding about me?" Archduke Dipu frowned.
"Haha, Your Majesty the Grand Duke, some things have been made clear to everyone and everyone is embarrassed." Mo La raised one corner of her mouth.
"I heard that King Golden Hammer was worried about your marriage, so I chose to propose marriage. I heard that your appearance is in my own country... It's a bit embarrassing to talk about it too much. I thought this was a happy thing for everyone, but Your Highness It seems that he still doesn’t quite understand other people’s good intentions.” Grand Duke Dipu said with profound meaning.
"Okay, are you starting to attack my appearance? Stop being hypocritical. It's none of your business if I never marry. Everyone in this world can think of why you married me. No one will believe you if you lie to others. Are you planning to lie to yourself?" Mo La was not forgiving at all.
Grand Duke Dipu picked up the wine glass and put it down again, and then changed his words: "The greatest meaning of being in a high position is that you can do whatever you want. What I appreciate most about dwarves is your straightforwardness. I still respect the dwarves who have participated in it." The drinking party is still fresh in my memory, you never care about others calling you drunkards, I thought Your Highness Mo La should be able to understand everyone’s different pursuit of happiness.”
"The premise must be normal. Like poking children's butts is not a normal pursuit." Moura showed a look of contempt towards Duke Dipu bluntly, "And it's best not to compare your hobby with our love of drinking. If you mix it up, even my father will want to slap you when he hears such a bastard statement from you."
These words made Duke Dipu's face turn green.
But in the end, he resisted the attack and pretended to be calm, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth: "I thought this meal would help us get to know each other a little better, but it seems that you are better than I thought." immature."
Obviously, it was inevitable that today's meal would end unhappily.
"I think you might like this type. After all, children are generally not that sensible." At this time, Mo La still did not forget to tease the other party.
"You escaped from marriage once and were forced to come back. If you are a little smarter, you should understand and accept the reality. I can accept a little time to get along with each other, but if you are really that stupid... then it doesn't really matter to me, anyway, it's hard work. I am not the one who is responsible. Think carefully, some realities cannot be changed." Grand Duke Dipu stood up to leave, but before leaving, he still did not forget to admonish him in an elder-like tone.
"That's not necessarily the case." Mo La raised her eyebrows, "With all due respect, Your Excellency, you are already old now..."
"Are you still expecting me to die early?" Archduke Dipu laughed out loud when he heard this. "Looking at me like this, can you still say these words?"
If it had been a few days earlier, Mo La's hint might have hurt him, but now that his body had recovered, he was happy to find an opportunity to show off to her.
"Everything in the world is unpredictable. Nothing can be determined." Mo La just shook her head.
There was a commotion and exclamations outside the annex, far away, and seemed to come from the direction of the city wall, but there was no movement from the guards standing guard outside the annex.
The Grand Duke, who was about to speak, frowned: "What's going on?"
The sound of rapid footsteps came along the corridor, and Grand Duke Dipu turned his face. He knew that it was the guard who ran over from the hall to report the situation.
But with a heavy sound of falling to the ground, the footsteps stopped abruptly.
It sounded like the guard accidentally fell down, but a few seconds passed without any new footsteps - the guard who ran in to report the news didn't seem to get up after falling.
"Go and see what's going on!" Grand Duke Dipu ordered the servants present to go over.
The servant walked over cautiously and disappeared around the corner of the corridor, and there was no sound again.
Then, a short whistle came from that direction.
When Mo La heard the signal, she immediately stood up and rushed to the corridor: "Let me go take a look!!"
Grand Duke Dipu was stunned. He saw the dwarf princess running into the corridor and reacted suddenly.
"Stop!" he yelled and chased after him.
As soon as he finished speaking, the ceiling above him suddenly collapsed, and a flaming dragon claw smashed down the upper two floors of the annex, pressing straight down on him.
