"Thank you Mr. Bob for the reminder!" Su Xing nodded, knowing that he meant well.
The two returned to the palace. Queen Catherine asked Robert and Sophia to send Su Xing back to his room, while she took Fiona to the king's office.
"Mother! What do you want to say?" Fiona asked.
Catherine picked up Gustave's photo frame and said, "Fiona, did you really swear by your father's portrait?"
"I'm sorry, I said this casually in a hurry before! But my daughter has made up her mind!"
The queen didn't get angry anymore and sighed: "You are the queen. If you don't get married, how can you have children? Who will inherit the throne in the future? You won't be so irresponsible!"
"I..." Fiona finished.
Catherine said earnestly: "Daughter, when you were a child, your father and mother did whatever you wanted, but now that you have grown up, you can no longer do as you want!
"I know, it's just me..." Fiona wanted to defend.
"I know you like Mr. Su. Mr. Su is a handsome man and a hero who is loved by all women, but he can't marry you, can he?"
"He can marry me, but..."
"It's just that he has other women, right?" Catherine pointed out the key point directly.
"Yes!" Fiona nodded.
"Will he marry them?" asked Catherine.
Fiona said: "Yes!"
"But it's not a legal marriage, is it?" Catherine seemed to see through.
Fiona could only say: "Probably, I can't confirm!"
"But you are a queen, not an ordinary person. You need a legal marriage, and the country of Switzerland and its people also need you to have a legal husband! So, please, daughter, just treat him as a friend. This is your mother's request to you. !”
Having said this, Catherine touched Gustav's photo again and said, "I believe your father would do the same!"
Fiona didn't know how to reply. Her lips moved for a long time, but she couldn't say a word. Only tears welled up in her eyes.
"Okay! You've worked hard too. Go to bed early. There are still many things for you to prepare for the coronation ceremony!"
"Mom, is there no other way?" Fiona was obviously unwilling to accept such an ending, and there was no room for a second man in her heart.
Catherine held Fiona's hand with one hand and gently stroked her cheek with the other, saying: "He is willing to marry you and be your legal wife, this is the only way! Otherwise..."
She shook her head.
Fiona burst into tears immediately, hugging her mother and crying.
Queen Catherine almost cried, but as a queen, she must be careful and not tolerate any ambiguity, even if it means beating a mandarin duck.
"Okay, go ahead and I'll talk to Mr. Su too!"
Naturally, Catherine also had to do Su Xing's work and state the stakes.
"No, don't talk to him!"
Catherine said seriously: "As the queen of Switzerland, I have this responsibility!"
Fiona had no choice but to go back to her room, but when she thought that she could no longer be with Su Xing, she burst into tears again.
Also in King Gustav's office, Queen Catherine asked Mr. Robert to call Su Xing over.
"Queen Catherine, are you looking for me!" Su Xing asked as soon as he entered the door.
Queen Catherine smiled and invited Su Xing to sit on the sofa together. She also made a cup of coffee for Su Xing herself and asked him to try it.
Su Xing expressed his thanks, tasted it and said it tasted good, and then waited for Queen Catherine to talk.
Catherine did not start directly, but said: "Fionat bought this from Bagu and gave it to Gustave. Unfortunately, he left before he could take a sip!
"Queen, please forgive me!"
Catherine nodded, controlled the tears from flowing out, took another sip of her coffee and said, "Mr. Su, on behalf of the royal family and the people of Switzerland, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you for saving us!"
Su Xing nodded and said nothing. He knew in his heart that these were not the focus of the conversation.
"Mr. Su, Fiona likes Eastern culture very much, and so do I."
Su Xing said: "Eastern culture is broad and profound, and I like it very much myself!"
"The East values benevolence and righteousness. Mr. Su is a benevolent and righteous person. I admire him very much, and I am honored that Fiona can know you! Therefore, I would like to ask you to be Fiona's adopted brother. I don't know what you want!"
Su Xing felt extremely unhappy, but this was the best solution the queen could think of! In this way, you can express your gratitude to yourself, maintain a good relationship, and not make things difficult for the royal family!
"As long as Fiona is willing, I have no objection!"
"Thank you Su Xing!" Catherine's heart dropped, and there was gratitude in her eyes, "I will tell her."
Su Xing nodded, stood up and said good night.
Sofia had been paying attention to the matter silently. When she saw Su Xing coming out without a happy expression on his face, she knew that the result would not be what they thought, so she immediately knocked on Fiona's door.
When Fiona heard the knock on the door, she thought it was her mother Catherine, so she said she wanted to be quiet. It wasn't until Sofia said it was her that she opened the door.
"Oh, my Fiona, you are crying!" Sofia couldn't help but hug the princess.
"Sofia, I...I'm so sad!" Fiona choked with sobs.
For the first time, Fiona really felt what it means to be helpless. Even when she was injured and running away, and dying, it was not so strong.
"What did Catherine tell you?"
Fiona told the whole story.
"Then what do you think?" Sophia asked softly.
Fiona said: "If I can't marry Su, I would rather not marry, but I am the queen and I am not allowed to do this!
"Fiona, I have a way to solve your problem, but it depends on whether Su Xing is willing!"
"What can I do?" Fiona grabbed Sophia's hand as if grasping a life-saving straw, she was extremely excited.
Sophia whispered to her!
"Let him dress up as another person!" Fiona's eyes suddenly brightened.
"right!"
When Fiona heard this, her tears immediately stopped, and she hugged Sophia excitedly and said, "Oh, you are really my good sister!"
"Don't be too happy too early. First you need Su Xing to love you and be willing!"
"Well, I believe he loves me. If he doesn't love me, why would he save me again and again? Besides, we have...!"
"Ah, you have already had sex!" Sofia was surprised.
Fiona's face turned red: "Not yet, just hugs and kisses!"
Sophia excitedly grabbed the princess's hand and said, "So, he will definitely be willing!"
"Yeah!" Fiona couldn't help but nodded and asked again: "What's next?"
"Secondly, we need to convince the queen, or even hide it from the queen!"
"Do you want to hide it even from my mother?" Fiona suddenly became nervous.
Sophia said: "It's okay to tell her, but I think it's better to have one more person know than one less person to know!"
"But what if she or someone else discovers it one day?"
Princess Fiona is still worried.
"Oh, Sophia, as long as I don't tell you, no one will know!"
Fiona was extremely moved: "Oh, Sophia, why are you so nice to me!"
"Because I hope you are happy! Go ahead and talk to Su again. I saw that when he came out, his face was expressionless, and he must not be happy in his heart!"
"Uh-huh!"
Fiona went to knock on Su Xing's door.
Su Xing opened the door and saw Fiona's eyes were red, and asked, "Has your mother talked to you?"
Fiona hugged Su Xing and choked with sobs: "I'm sorry! I embarrassed you!"
"I'm fine!" Su Xing shook his head.
Having said this, Su Xing held her shoulders and looked into her eyes.
Fiona also looked at him, with deep affection in her eyes.
Su Xing couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. Fiona was kind, brave, beautiful, and deeply devoted to him. But thinking about the queen's request, the heavy responsibility Fiona shouldered, and his inability to stay with her all the time, he still said: "Fiona, Mr. Bob is right, we can't make things difficult for the queen and the royal family. Let's just be friends!"
He decided that he would help Fiona no matter what, and there was no need to be a sworn brother and sister.
But Fiona felt a sudden pain in her heart, and an unconcealable loss and sadness surged throughout her body, as if she had fallen from heaven to hell in an instant. She tried her best to suppress the tears that were about to burst into her eyes, and asked:
"Don't you love me at all?"
Su Xing thought that the long-term pain would be better than the short-term pain, so he said: "Actually, I don't want to have any more relationships!"
Fiona's heart ached again.
But she still refused to give up and asked with a choked sob: "Why did you look at me with such a surprised expression when you first met me?"
"Because you are beautiful!"
Su Xing used this sentence to prevaricate.
"No, it's not because I'm beautiful, but because you seem to have known me for a long time, that's why you helped me like that!"
Women's intuition is so strong, Su Xing couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and said seriously: "Fiona, if I tell you, it's because I saw you in a dream, would you believe it?"
"When did you dream?"
Fiona asked, meaning she believed it.
