After seeing the progress of the newly-built plantation, Ella went to the paddy field to have a look.

Although Ella bought a large piece of land, this huge artificial lake is not included in this range. This is the water source for all nearby land, and it is the main waterway. If she also encloses the artificial lake in her own plantingIn the garden, whether it is for other people to fetch water or take a boat will become very troublesome, and because the artificial lake itself is not part of the plantation, other people want to enter the plantation to fetch water, or come and go from the river, theoretically speaking,She can't be stopped.

If you want to buy the artificial lake, let alone whether you can get a return on the large sum of money that needs to be paid, it is also disagreed in the law of Sathya.

Although it is legally prohibited to buy and sell other land, it can be different in private. Rivers and lakes are the source of water for Sathiya people to survive. Private ownership is really not allowed. You can rent it, but you can’t stop othersGo to these places to fetch water by boat, otherwise the nobles only need to buy a few water sources, and the common people will have to pay for drinking water.

So Ella's plantation was built close to the side of this artificial lake, and her original piece of land also needed to be enclosed in the plantation, so the whole plantation is not a square shape, but protruding from one sideThere was a small piece, like a big square attached to a small square.

In this 20-shart piece of land, only sugar cane and cucumbers are still growing, and the rest of the land has been harvested. Even the last harvested pumpkins are old enough. After picking the old pumpkins, Ella gaveThe farm laborers who worked in the past shared half of each. Of course, the seeds inside were taken away, but those who want to grow pumpkins themselves can receive ten pumpkins from Harnett after the pumpkin seeds are dried.Then everyone, including the peasant women in charge of cooking, did not miss this benefit.

The rest of the pumpkins were sent to the palace and handed over to Naguido. Because there were a lot of them, Ella let Naguido do as much as he could, and made several pumpkin dishes for everyone in the palace, letting them know about this kind of pumpkin.It is vegetables and can fill the stomach, and the taste is sweet, very delicious ingredients, and the remaining pumpkin seeds are collected according to her request and dried in the open space next to the kitchen. If anyone wants it, it must beIf you want to try planting it yourself, you can also take a few seeds after drying. If there are too many pumpkin seeds, there are not enough pumpkin seeds. She needs to cultivate them for another season to let go of her control over the seeds.

At this time, according to Ella's request, a large area of paddy fields has been expanded on this land, because the artificial lake next to it has begun to rain. Although it is not affected yet, in order to ensure that there will be no water shortage in the future, Hartnett has already started planning.Several wells are dug in the plantation, and when the artificial lake is almost exhausted, these wells are the main source of water for the plantation.

However, the lack of water here will not be too serious. Even in the month when the artificial lake has the least amount of water, there will still be some water at the bottom that will not completely dry up. Apart from the trouble of carrying water, there is no need to worry about the crops in the field.Died due to lack of water.

The paddy field has been expanded and the plowing has been completed. It is only necessary to wait for the seedlings being raised to grow to a sufficient height before they can be planted. Harnett and the farm laborers who have already experienced planting can complete these tasks very well.Ra was paying attention as before.

A little later, the grain store delivered the seeds Ella bought. After signing for the receipt, it was almost lunch time. This time Ella stayed for lunch before heading back to the palace.

As soon as she returned to her bedroom, she heard Tetis tell her: "Your Highness, His Majesty sent someone to look for you before, and said that you should come over when you come back."

"Did you say something?"

"No."

That shouldn't be a particularly urgent matter.

Ella cleaned herself briefly, changed into a set of clean clothes, and then went out to find Lucis.

As soon as Ella left the dormitory, she saw an attendant standing at the door, who was next to Lucis.

When the attendant saw Aila coming out, he bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty asked me to lead you the way."

Ella felt very strange: "Isn't His Majesty in the bedroom?"

At this point in time, Lucis should be resting in the afternoon.

The attendant said: "Yes, His Majesty is not in the bedroom today."

As for where, he didn't say.

Mysterious.

However, Ella always has people with her, so she is not afraid of any problems with her attendants.

Ella followed the attendants. The route they took was no stranger to Ella. They were heading towards Lucis's king's bedroom, but they didn't enter the king's bedroom. Instead, they passed by the door and turned to another corridor.

Ella seldom comes to this side, and she is not very familiar with the path here. She only vaguely knows that the houses here were also prepared for the people in the harem in the past, but they have always been vacant here in Lucis.

The messenger took Ella for a while, and gradually, Ella vaguely heard the sound of music, as if someone was playing a lyre, the kind of lyre often used by bards.

She thought Lucis was listening to someone playing the piano for leisure, but when she got to the place and entered the room, Ella saw that the person playing the piano turned out to be Lucis.

I don't know what this palace looked like at first, but now it is a world of flowers.

In this space, there are blooming flowers everywhere. There are colorful flowers on the wall, on the shelf, on the table and even on the ground. Some of them grow in flower pots, some are cut out and carefully placed in vases.It was scattered on the ground, and as far as the eye could see, there were all these rotten and beautiful ornaments.

Lucis was sitting on a chair in the middle of the room, holding a lyre in his hand and playing. There was a small round table in front of him, and on the round table was a large bouquet made of water lilies and papyrus., and there was an empty chair beside him, which was obviously prepared for her.

After Ella entered here, no one else followed, and the door was closed. Ella sat beside Lucis under his gaze.

She probably knew what he was going to do.

Lucis's piano sound paused after Ella entered, and then played again. The melody he played was very simple, with obvious beginner's jerky.

But Lucis played very seriously, and in a more professional way, his sound was full of emotion.

Ella propped her elbows on the small round table, rested her chin on her chin and listened quietly as he finished playing a melody, and then sang.

"The sun rises because of you, and I have a unique love in my heart..."

"...you are irreplaceable, the moment your eyes met, you stole my heart..."

"...If you leave, my heart will go with you..."*

This is the first time Ella has heard Lucis sing. His voice is low and hoarse, and he sings intoxicatingly. Those black eyes have been looking at Ella intently, as if there is only one in the center of the whole world.he.

Ella listened intently to the song. It was an obvious love song, but Ella hadn't heard it.

The love song is not very long, and when the last lyric ends, the sound of the lyre also stops.

Lucis put down the piano in his hand and picked up the bouquet on the round table.

He said to Ella: "The last question, you said that I can ask you again after I prepare a suitable marriage proposal ceremony, so do you think today's arrangement is appropriate?"

"Will you marry me, Ella."

The Sathiya people do not have specific marriage proposal ceremonies, but when they confess their love to the girl they like, they will sing love songs to her. Lucis has never sung in the past, let alone learned any musical instruments.To pull a marriage proposal, he deliberately went to learn the lyre and learned this melody.

Without an immediate answer, Ella simply asked him: "I've never heard this song, did you write it?"

"Yes."

Lucis nodded, the lyrics of this song are the most sincere thoughts in his heart.

"In retrospect, the moment I saw you, I should have fallen into it."

Before Ella appeared, he sneered at the feeling of love, thinking that it would never happen to him; but after meeting Ella, he realized that all his love and affection were destined to be devoted to her alone..

Just like the first sentence of this song "The sun rises because of you, and I have a unique love in my heart".

He wrote his feelings into this song, which is a love song of courtship and a love poem he wrote for her.

Ella's purple eyes seem to contain thousands of stars, the stars are a little bit, no one will not like romance, especially when it comes from her lover.

This time, Ella did not refuse again, she took the meaningful bouquet, the smile on her face was shy and happy: "Yes, you gave me a surprise, so this time my answer is yes,Lucis, I would like to marry you."

Ella also knew that Lucis could not sing and play the piano. He must have learned it specially in order to prepare for it, and a love poem full of emotions touched her heart even more.

Just this intention is enough.

And the surprises seem to be more than that.

When Ella took the conversation and lowered her head to smell the elegant and faint fragrance of the water lily, she noticed with sharp eyes that there seemed to be something hidden in one of the half-opened water lilies.

Her slender and nimble fingers gently parted the blue-purple petals, revealing what was underneath.

It was two rings of the same style, one big and one small.

There are no big precious gemstones, nor is it made of gold that Sathiya people love. It is just two simple silver rings with some Sathya characters carved on them. If you look closely, they are actually the full names of each other.The silver ring is not a silver product either, it is a platinum product that is extremely precious and rare in this era and is often confused with silver.

"I've asked some people, and they told me that when people in Miou mainland propose and get married, they will have such a pair of rings, and they will engrave their names on the rings."

Lucis picked up the ring with his full name engraved on it, and put it in Ella's left hand, which was naturally stretched out.

"They said to put our names on the inside, but I think putting our names on the outside is more of a sign that we belong to each other."

When the ring engraved with his own name was put on Ella's finger, Lucis felt a deep sense of satisfaction, which symbolized that he had finally caught this girl with a mysterious origin, and he also expressed gratitude to all those who could see the ring.The man declared domineeringly that this beautiful princess was his only girl.

"You're always being so bossy, but I do have to admit, it's a pretty good idea."

Ella picked up the ring with a larger diameter that also had her own name on it, and put it on Lucis' finger.

"From now on, please teach me more, my love."

··(Is it appropriate if I end the text here?)··

The entire royal palace and even the aristocratic circle knew that the master of Sathya, their great king, made a successful marriage proposal!

This huge good news made everyone smile because they had been looking forward to this day for so long.

What does it mean to have a successful marriage proposal?Means they can start preparing for the wedding!

"Gods bless, I thought I would never see His Majesty marry the Queen in my life."

Some old ministers said so in private, and even happily donated a batch of sacrifices to the gods, because they were really looking forward to His Majesty's marriage, and the current situation of the members of the Sathya royal family is really not ideal.The country knows that under the current circumstances, if their Majesty dies unfortunately, the entire Sathya will usher in unprecedented chaos. How can those who love this country not understand it.

His Majesty is already twenty-five years old, but he has never even touched a woman, let alone a child. If this continues, they are very worried that Sathya will have no successors.

It's not that they were too pessimistic, it was an accident, no one knows when this kind of thing will happen, and their majesty is also a person who likes to go to the battlefield in person and charge in front. In places like the battlefield, swords have no eyes, No one can guarantee that they will be able to retreat unscathed.

Moreover, the human lifespan is not long now, and many people who have reached the age of their Majesty are going to be grandpas, but he doesn't even have a child, so how can it not be worrying.

Fortunately, His Majesty finally thought about it now.

And when they thought that it was the princess he was going to marry, everyone looked forward to it even more.

One is brave and unparalleled, the other is extremely intelligent, and both have outstanding and unusual appearances. When such two people are combined, how outstanding their child should be.

Just thinking about the birth of one or more princes/princesses who combine their strengths in the future, some old ministers are about to cry.

After the proposal, of course it was time to start preparing for the wedding, not to mention those ministers who urged His Majesty the King to get married all day long, even Lucis himself couldn't wait to marry Ella.

But the king's wedding can't be sloppy, it takes several months to prepare, and there can be no mistakes.

The temple quickly calculated the date of the wedding, and it was calculated by Lucis's aunt, Meljet. Although everyone wanted to see their wedding soon, it was a pity that the calculated date was the earliest.Wait until next January.

Lucis chose May 20th among the dates sent by Meryet.

"This day?"

Looking at the date set by her nephew, Meryet frowned. It wasn't that the day was bad, but that this date was a relatively late choice among the dates she chose, and there were still more than seven months from now.

"I thought you'd like to get ready for the wedding earlier, you look so looking forward to it."

Seeing Lucis' expectations, everyone was prepared to work overtime and busy, but the time Lucis pointed out was unexpected.

"I'm looking forward to it, I can't wait and I even want to have a wedding with Ella tomorrow."

Lucis isn't shy about speaking out about her desires.

"Then why not choose January as the date? If you feel that the wedding is too urgent and not heavy enough, there are suitable dates in February, March and even April."

"May is when Ella comes to Sathya."

Lucis was very patient with her aunt, so she told her her thoughts carefully: "She once said that she left her country not long after her birthday, so when it came to May, sheJust turned seventeen."

Seventeen years old, this is not a very old age, but in this era, no matter where you are, this is an age where you can get married or even be a mother.

Lucis knew that Ella was against getting married too early, but he was not young, and even if he was willing to wait for Ella, others would not agree with him because they couldn't wait.Even Sathya can't afford to wait.

But at least, he thought, at least let Ella get married after her seventeenth birthday, even if she is only one year older, she should be happy, right?

After listening to his nephew's thoughts, Mel Yat felt very complicated.

Her old and wise eyes stared closely at her tall, strong and handsome nephew, and she rarely called out his name: "I have to admit, Lucis, you and your brother and even your father are really good friends."completely different."

His elder brother and father, the former king and the last king of Sathya, are all romantic and passionate kings. They will never lack beautiful women by their side, but they will never give their hearts to anyone, even if they areIt's their wives, their queens, and they don't even want to pay too much attention to them. Beautiful women are always just replaceable decorations in their eyes.

Meryet has seen her sister and brother-in-law after marriage. Her king's brother-in-law treats her sister very well and respects her very much. They even fell in love for a while, but time passed. This loveHowever, her sister couldn't get out of it now, and finally left this world in grief.

Lucis: "I'm also glad I'm different from them."

Lucis certainly loved his brother and father—although he didn’t have much memory of the latter—but he also couldn’t accept their slutty views on love.

No, he didn't even think it was love, it could only be called sex.

"Then I hope you can keep it going, and don't let that princess become as sad as your mother."

"Of course, there won't be such a day."

The date of the wedding has been confirmed. Although some people feel that it is a bit slow, it has to be said that the preparation time of seven months has really relieved most people. They have enough time to prepare for the wedding of the king and the princess.

Ella was also surprised by the date, and while she's not saying she can't wait to get married, she's definitely getting ready for a wedding soon.

But when she was debating whether to ask Lucis, Meljet took the initiative to come over and tell her why this date.

"I have never seen His Majesty care so much about a person's mood. To be honest, I was actually a little scared at that time. I mean, you know, he is not a delicate person."

Meryet sighed while drinking tea.

Ella didn't speak, she didn't expect Lucis to even take her thoughts into consideration.

Indeed, as Lucis thought, Ella would indeed worry that she married too early. After all, her three views were established in modern times, and that was the era when she was only eighteen years old.

But after all, she had been mentally prepared to be married off by the king's father very early in her life, so actually thinking about it, she was not too entangled.

And if you really want to count, the combined age of her two lifetimes is almost a round older than Lucis.

Thinking about it this way, they are actually a different kind of sibling relationship, right?

Her thoughts wandered for a moment, and she felt guilty for a moment, but she quickly dismissed it. Anyway, she is now sixteen years old, a young and beautiful sixteen year old, and the much older one is Lucis!

But being able to get married after her seventeenth birthday did make her feel a little more at ease. Rounding off, she would consider herself eighteen.

"But he is a person with keen observation skills, so as long as he wants, he can still be careful, but it's up to him whether to show it or not."

Ella also took a sip of tea: "And it's a bit biased for you to say that. His Majesty actually cares about you as much as you care about him."

Melyet thought of the house with a garden where he lived, and the discomfort in his heart because Lucis cared too much about Ella finally dissipated.

"I think you're right."

Ella and Meryet don’t actually have much contact with each other. Most of the time, they just nodded and greeted each other when they met on the road. They rarely sat down to talk like this, but their relationship is indeed slowly growing.get better.

Because they care about the same person, and that person doesn't want to see that they don't get along well, so for this person, they are willing to let go of all their prejudices, try to get close and like each other.

Judging from the current results, they are indeed making good progress, because after getting along with each other, they discovered that the other party is actually the kind of person they would appreciate.

Although Meryet has a rigid and serious side, she is also a person who distinguishes between rewards and punishments and does not judge others because of her own likes and dislikes. Ella's intelligence and sincerity are enough to impress every kind soul.

They might not become very good friends, but they wouldn't become enemies either. As long as they grasped the degree and maintained a friendly relationship that wasn't far or close, it was enough for Lucis not to worry about their getting along.
