Chapter84: The Nobleman and the Princess in Distress (17)

After these words were spoken, the room was silent and the air seemed to stop for a moment.

It was a long time before Ludwig dropped his folded fingers and leaned back slightly in the back of his chair, his long legs raised, his military boots wrapped around his straight calves, with an air of languor and cold.

As he lowered his eyelashes, Jessica could see only a faint shade of blue. Her stiff nose cast a straight shadow on the side of her face. Her lips were thin and pale.

"With the artist?" 'he asked.

Jessica nodded, "Yes."

Ludwig said nothing.

In the silent room, the fire suddenly gave a slight sizzling sound, which made the atmosphere seem more silent.

The perfect face on the other side was hidden in shadow, her eyelashes obscuring the soles of her eyes.

There seemed to be no response to the answer.

But Jessica feels...

I said the wrong thing.

She has self-knowledge, know that their IQ is OK, emotional intelligence is not high, so simply do not think about why the other party is not happy, first admit the mistake is right.

- Anyway, he couldn't have fallen in love with her at first sight and become jealous?

Neither logic nor the face of the grand duke showed the slightest possibility of this.

She pressed her lips, considered, and said, "I have been in the palace, and I have no concept of love, and he showed me kindness, and I thought I liked him." But I've learned along the way that this is not the case."

Jessica thought to herself that this was a bit of an explanation, as if it went beyond being interrogated.

She looked at the person opposite.

A few seconds later, the other person raised his eyes. He did not show any emotion, but did not say that her explanation was superfluous, just gave a light sound, as if he knew, and then quietly asked: "You are not forced?"

"..."

What kind of question is that asking.

Is it possible that this powerful, hard-nosed grand duke is actually secretly... Very gossipy?

She carefully observed the other side's look, and finally denied this guess, lowered her head, and whispered: "No." I'm not lying about that."

Ludwig's handsome eyebrows knitted again, and after a moment he said slowly: "... The process."

"..." Jessica's expression almost cracked, tried to control it, and began to recall the memory of the original owner, "At that time, he... He wanted to do that kind of thing with me, but I realized I didn't like him, so I didn't agree. During the struggle, my head hit the corner of the table and it bled. He got scared and ran away." Jessica raised her hand and touched the back of her head, "There is still a wound here, but it is a small wound, and it stopped bleeding." After that, he got together with Yoon Sa."

Ludwig's bright blue eyes fell on her head, then moved away expressionlessly.

Jessica looked down, waiting for his next odd question.

He did not speak again for a long time.

Jessica glanced up and caught the man's pure blue eyes. The color is crystal clear, the blue melts the heart. The shadow of the eyelashes reflected in the eyes, deep shallow, very beautiful.

She looked dumbstruck, then thought, beauty current, whether it should be a little lift.

Then, the young girl suddenly looked at the expressionless man and said softly, "I have heard that your Majesty has appointed me to you, I have heard of your deeds, if the engagement is to you, it will be good.

The girl said, grinned.

She stopped, waiting for him to ask why, but she waited for a moment, the man did not ask.

Jessica was silent.

No -- not happy?

As Ludwig, to be betrothed to the princess of a small country does not seem to be a happy thing... In the worst case, this kind of unequal engagement may still be an insult.

However, Jessica didn't mention this directly, so presumably, it's not offensive.

She was a little helpless.

These days, I don't dare flirt.

The girl lowered her head, as if she realized that she had said something wrong, and fell silent.

Ludwig's blue eyes were calm, her lashes moved, and then she lowered her eyes, as if she had not heard the words she had just said.

"Let Carl arrange where you go."

Carl?

Jessica gasped.

The knight who just went out.

She rose, answered the voice respectfully, saluted Ludwig, and withdrew from the room.

After politely explaining the situation to the chief knight guarding the door, Jessica lowered her head and played the role of a gentle and polite princess, pretending not to see each other's startled and awkward eyes from time to time.

The chief knight was slightly worried.

He really did not know what to do with the princess from a small eastern country.

There's no clear proof that her story is true or false, so we can't just leave her in a POW camp like we did before, but we can't just treat her like a guest.

She's from a small country, and she could still be guilty. The chief Knight thought it over and decided that the most appropriate thing to do was to remain in prison. But it's a little more advanced.

Jessica didn't think there was anything wrong with this arrangement, and obediously followed the knight back to the prisoner of war camp. Between the male and female cells, there are separate cells for special inmates.

People here have a relatively higher status, eat less rough, do not have to endure the pain of crowded people, and do not have the worry of being humiliated by "rats".

Jessica enters the cell, watches the Knight close the lock and stride away.

She rubbed her temples.

This task, revenge Yin Sha and Luo Lang is not too big a problem, but the important thing is the Lord God, how to get his approval, completely without a clue.

You know, even if you want to do what they want, you have to know what they like. But Ludwig's expressionless face was as cold as a snowy winter.

She sat down on the straw, yawned lazily, and decided to sleep first.

,

On the other side, the cold Archduke Ludwig seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked the chief knight without expression: "How did you arrange her?"

The chief knight did not expect the Guilds to question a woman in person, so it took a few seconds for him to understand, and he replied:

"I have placed Princess Achu alone in a cell for the time being, pending Your Majesty's disposal."

This is the most appropriate arrangement.

The chief knight answered, and looked up at the Grand Duke, into a pair of cold blue eyes.

He froze
