The minister beside him, Benson, also frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "This Patience has become more and more arrogant since he got together with the Ston family! He even dared to mention Queen Elizabeth in front of you."
"do not talk!"
King George glanced at him coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "Patience shouldn't have known about that, that person must have told him! The last time Xin You's men broke into Lusen Castle, he was probably the one who played tricks !"
Benson nodded in agreement, but felt very helpless.
Even if they knew this, so what, they still didn't dare to touch the Ston family.
At this moment, King George suddenly asked, "Has General Xin arrived?"
Benson hurriedly turned around, "Here we are, waiting for you in the study."
"Okay, I'll go meet him and see if he has come all the way and wants to tell me something urgent."
King George said, got up and went to the study.
......
There are only four days left until the wedding of the Stone and Bard family.
The items needed for the wedding were delivered to the bride-to-be Carmeline's room one after another.
A gorgeously designed wedding dress embellished with diamonds was brought in by two maids.
"Miss Carmeline, this is your wedding dress, please try it on. If there is something inappropriate, please correct it in time."
"No need to put it there."
"But, this is what His Excellency the Duke meant."
"..." The girl curled her fingertips slightly, "Okay, take it here."
The girl's slender and beautiful body was wrapped in a grand and white wedding dress, and the maid complimented flatteringly, "Miss Carmeline, you are so beautiful."
The girl didn't speak, and stood in front of the mirror, silently looking at herself inside.
For a moment, she fantasized that one day she would be able to wear a wedding dress and hold that person's arm, and walk into the wedding hall with him.
But she is the adopted daughter of the Duke of Ston, and they were impossible from the beginning.
Her thoughts drifted away—
I don't know what's going on with that person now. After he wakes up, he must hate himself to death, right?
Facing the mirror, the girl showed a slightly bitter smile.
"Carmeline, you don't seem to be very happy with this marriage."
The old and sharp voice of the Duke of Ston suddenly sounded at the door.
The girl suddenly shuddered and looked at the old man who pushed the door open at some point.
She quickly squeezed out a smile, "How could it be? Father, I just thought that you have been so kind to me and prepared so many things for my wedding. After I marry into the Bard family, I will leave you , I am a little bit sad."
"Really?" Duke Ston's blue eyes were secretive, and he waved his hand to signal the maids to go out.
Then he strode into the house and walked towards the girl.
As he approached, the girl felt an inexplicable sense of urgency, and her heart tensed up subconsciously.
The Duke of Ston stopped in front of the girl. Although he was nearly eighty years old, he had tall bones, and his well-maintained body was much taller than ordinary old people.
He looked at the girl condescendingly, no one could see what he was thinking.
The girl could only pretend to be relaxed to meet his gaze.
After a few seconds of silence, Duke Ston finally spoke, "The preparations for the wedding these days seem to have exhausted you, and you've lost a lot of weight."
The girl breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, "Father, I..."
"do not talk!"
King George glanced at him coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "Patience shouldn't have known about that, that person must have told him! The last time Xin You's men broke into Lusen Castle, he was probably the one who played tricks !"
