Vivian wanted that girl just by the way. She was neither a good person nor a bad person. She bullied Eunice just to survive. After all, how could a little maid disobey the queen's order?
The crown prince slashed her face, and her appearance was ruined. Not to mention the nobles, even the businessmen were unwilling to marry her, not to mention offending the crown prince and implicating the entire family.
Vivian felt that the disfigurement had already paid off her fault, so there was no need to kill them all. The girl lost as expected. When the game ended, she knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
"You come to be my guard." Vivian came to the girl and found that she was tall and had a scar as long as an index finger on her right cheek. She was dressed in such a way that it was impossible to tell that she was a girl.
"Thank you, Miss, thank you Miss!" The girl burst into tears of gratitude.
Vivian asked Evans to accompany her back to pack her things, lest the family would not let her go and have to sell her.
Before going to bed at night, she told Vivian about the girl. Vivian was very moved and said that she wanted to help more women who were struggling to survive in pain.
"Are you still afraid of Victor now?"
"Well, I'm still a little scared."
"Don't worry, I will stay with you and try to get along with him tomorrow." After all, she can't stay with her forever, and she needs to walk the road to the future by herself.
While eating breakfast, Vivian didn't dare to raise her head. Victor was very sensitive and could guess at a glance that she was not that person.
"Why did you come out?" Victor asked with a cold face.
"You, you haven't apologized to me yet!" Vivian was a little scared at first, but thinking that the gods were beside her, she mustered up the courage to look directly at Victor.
"Apologise?"
"Yes, you poisoned me and you haven't apologized yet!"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I was wrong."
"Forget it, I will forgive you when you really feel that you are wrong." Vivian relented and hid in her room after eating.
On the last day of the martial arts meeting, both the Crown Prince and the Second Prince were present. No matter what they were thinking, the other nobles kept a decent smile on their faces.
As the heir to the Duke's Palace, Vivian is located close to the second prince. While the fight was going on in the arena, the second prince suddenly turned around and spoke to him.
"I heard you did a lot of things in the north."
"It's all a trivial matter. I didn't expect that it would reach the ears of the second prince."
"I regret not seizing the opportunity."
"You look very relaxed now. If you have a chance, go to the north and see where the winters are really shocking."
"Okay, if I have the chance, I will definitely go."
The two of them smiled, and the crown prince was in a bad mood when he saw it from a distance. Vivian was different from any other woman he had ever seen. At such a young age, she was as calm as a centenarian.
Just like now, her mouth is smiling, but her eyes are motionless, as if nothing in the world can fit into those eyes.
I heard that in order to increase the yield of food crops, my father-in-law went to work in the fields herself, not caring about the soil all over her body. She visited all the villages in the north, proposed targeted solutions, and worked hard to prevent anyone from starving or freezing to death.
She is obviously a delicate young lady, but she loves and protects everyone equally. Logically speaking, her ability to empathize should be very strong, but no matter whether it was a fierce fight or someone was injured, her expression did not change.
The Crown Prince was curious about what kind of person Vivian was? Perhaps his gaze was so persistent that Victor noticed it and whispered to his sister that the crown prince was always staring at her.
Vivian looked back at the Crown Prince, then nodded slightly and saluted. Nowadays, the nobles avoid the second prince, but Vivian is open-minded and doesn't think there is anything inappropriate in joking with him?
At the end of the martial arts competition, the Crown Prince awarded prizes to the top three, and at the same time included them in the Royal Knights for training. The fourth to tenth places were all bought by nobles, and the rest had no choice but to retire with regret.
The next day, Vivian received an invitation from the Crown Prince.
She thought a lot on the way, such as avenging Eunice, suspecting that they supported the second prince, or threatening her to hand over the north...
Entering the palace, the maid said that the Crown Prince was busy and asked her to wait a moment. This moment lasted for an hour and a half. Although Vivian had not expected it, she was not surprised either.
The door opened and Eunice came in. I heard that the Crown Prince's proposal was successful and the wedding date will be next month.
"Daughter Vivian, I'm sorry that the Crown Prince is still busy." Eunice was wearing a luxurious dress, and the material looked like it could only be used by the royal family.
"The Crown Prince works hard for the state, which is really a blessing to the people." Vivian stood up and bowed lightly. The other party was the Crown Prince's fiancée and she was loved and loved, which she could not compare to.
"It's so fateful that we attended the coming-of-age ceremony in the same year."
"yes."
"I remember my daughter-in-law has a twin brother. I only have an older brother and sister. I wonder what it feels like to have a younger brother?"
"I'm glad he's my blood brother."
"On the night of the coming-of-age ceremony, I saw you in the rose garden. I saw Victor murder you that day, so he wanted to kill me to silence you!"
"I think you must have misunderstood. As far as I know, he didn't hurt you at all. Why did you frame him?"
Vivian planned to refuse to admit it because the crown prince was a lunatic. If he knew that Victor wanted to kill his fiancée, I'm afraid the entire family would be implicated.
"You are the one, why do you want to protect him? He obviously wants to kill you!" Eunice was furious. She didn't expect that Vivian would confuse right and wrong and not distinguish between right and wrong.
"He won't kill me because we are twins, the closest people in the world who know each other best. If he did anything wrong, I am willing to apologize, but the crime of murder is too serious."
"you--"
Eunice was so angry that she was dizzy. When the crown prince came over, he saw her holding on to the pillar to keep herself from falling, and thought she was being bullied. She yelled at Vivian not to go too far, but Eunice hurriedly explained that she was just too excited.
Weiwei looked at the two of them quietly, and waited for them to calm down before saying, "It's getting late, please excuse me."
"I wonder when my eldest daughter will return to the north?" the crown prince suddenly asked.
"Next Monday." Vivian replied.
When she left the palace, a cold sweat broke out on her back. To be honest, she was very courageous, but she couldn't help but feel frightened when facing a madman.
Vivian herself even screamed. Fortunately, she didn't agree to come to the palace, otherwise her secret would have been exposed just now. After the Lord God leaves, can she really do it?
No, she had to study hard and never disappoint the Lord God, so maybe she would stay longer.
After returning, Vivian informed Victor of today's events and communicated with him. What if the crown prince came to him later and asked him, "Do you want to kill my wife?" and he spilled the beans?
"I'm sorry." Victor bowed his head and apologized.
"I can't hear what you said." Vivian's true form came out, and what she wanted to hear most was Victor's apology.
"Why did you come out again? Forget it, it's the same as telling anyone, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, okay? Are you satisfied?"
"I'm satisfied, but I still can't forgive you!"
Vivian proudly said that forgiving others' mistakes easily is punishing herself. If she doesn't want to punish herself, she can only punish the person who made the mistake!
A few days later, Remino suddenly visited. He came here mainly as a lobbyist for his brother who doesn't understand the charm.
He assured Vivian that his brother only took care of the girl as his sister and had absolutely no other thoughts.
Vivian thought it was funny, so she told him that her husband must accept living in the north, otherwise there would be no need to discuss anything. Besides, Carol treats her as a sister!
Remino was very dissatisfied when he returned without success. When he returned home and saw his sighing brother, he became even more angry. Now that you've decided to let go, don't even think about showing yourself like this to anyone!
"Stop talking about me, it's the same for you." Carol snorted coldly. He knew very well who his brother liked to know.
"It's different. You still have a chance, but I never have it! If I were you, I would never give up so easily!"
The more Remino talked, the sadder he became. The two brothers got so drunk that the next day they both covered their heads and complained of headaches.
The day before Vivian left the royal capital, she went to the slums to meet Jay and said, "I will go back to the north tomorrow. Have you thought about it?"
Jay was wearing tattered clothes and had injuries on his face. He looked very decadent. But when I heard the word "North", my heartbeat still stopped.
"I'll go with you," Jay said.
This time, Vivian brought two people with her, one was Jay and the other was Dai Lin.
In November, when the snow was falling, the Crown Prince and Eunice held a grand wedding. The Klein family sent people to send congratulatory gifts because the snow in the north was too deep and it was difficult to go out.
Jay and Dai Lin quickly adapted to life here. Dai Lin continued to work as a maid and part-time guard. Jay was capable, and Vivian asked him to be her assistant officer.
Brothers Mark and Martin were in crisis over Jay's appearance. They used to ask them to take care of things, but now that they are Jay, they always feel like they can't swallow it!
The two brothers tried their best to compete with Jay for a job. Vivian couldn't help but laugh. There were still many things to be busy with next. The king won't last long. When the crown prince comes to power, he will definitely deal with the north, and they must be prepared.
After hearing the report, Duke Klein asked Vivian to go ahead and do it. He is now focused on increasing his military strength, leaving other economic and diplomatic issues to Vivian.
When the new year comes, Vivian invites all the nobles in the north to attend the party. On the surface it was a rare get-together, a way to get to know each other, but in fact it was to discuss the issue of survival in the north.
Vivian sat in the main seat, with two people standing behind her. Victor on the left was responsible for supplementary explanations; Jay on the right was responsible for observing words and expressions.
The meeting lasted two hours. After the meeting, Maivis had prepared a dinner. Everyone enjoyed the meal and the gifts were in line with the lady's wishes.
