While fencing with the knight, Olivia was still thinking about the emperor who was lying in the resplendent palace and suddenly became old.

"I still don't understand why Xiahe and I are allowed to marry, we are people from different worlds!"

"My dear child, Marshal Raphael is extremely brilliant, and she will protect you. Under her wings, you can grow up safely."

"No, she is a demon, a monster, how can you count on her protection?"

"Olivia, you are prejudiced against Xia He. I know you don't like women, but I didn't see you say you fell in love with any man, did you? Your uncle is eyeing the throne, and he even wants to use the elders to arrest you Expulsion. What would you do without Shahe's protection, my child? Your father just wants you to live your life in peace. As for heirs, you can adopt one from your close relatives."

……

Conversations like this swirled in her mind, and Olivia finally knew that it was impossible to reason with His Majesty the Emperor. She began to plan, and when the time came, she would divorce Shahe. No one stipulated that members of the royal family should Forever bound by marriage, isn't it?

The person in front backs away step by step until the whole person leaves the circle drawn with white lines.Putting away the sword and shield, saluted Olivia, and left quickly.Olivia's forehead was dripping with sweat, and when she heard an unusual sound, she took a big step back calmly, and the shield in her left hand blocked the slender sword.This can be said to be her private territory, how could someone come here without permission?She frowned, and was about to speak when the sword pierced towards her like a flash of lightning.The face of the man holding the sword was calm, and his eyes were as deep as an abyss, never bottoming out.

Back and forth for several rounds, advancing and retreating in a certain way, it is really difficult to find a flaw.Xia He threw the sword, took the handkerchief from the handmaiden who caught up, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.She raised her eyebrows and said with some surprise: "Dear Your Highness, you really surprised me. Why has no one ever praised your sword skills?"

Olivia didn't speak. She turned to the obedient person and reprimanded in a low voice: "Didn't you say that no one is allowed to come here?"

"Don't blame them, I insisted on coming in." Xia He smiled gently and replied.

"After all, he is the omnipotent Marshal." Xia He smiled sarcastically, wrapped the towel around his wrist, and walked away without looking at Xia He.It showed a bit of contempt and arrogance, but Xia He didn't care. She lowered her head and stroked the pendant on her neck, with a strange light shining in her eyes.

In this palace, either the racecourse or his own palace, Olivia has no other place to go.She hadn't sat down for a long time before the annoying Xia He followed. Who knows what kind of conspiracy and tricks are mixed in the latest courteousness.

There was an old book of mythology on the table. As soon as she returned to the palace, Olivia went to search in the library. She was eager to know what happened in that legendary era.

Xia He flipped through the pages, and finally her eyes stayed on the page with the bookmark. She sighed and said in a low voice: "Medusa was once the most loyal follower of the goddess Athena, and her girlhood was in the temple. She dedicated her chastity to the goddess, and even made a vow not to marry for life, can't the goddess hear her chanting day and night?"

Olivia raised her eyelids, and replied softly: "Medusa and Poseidon are having fun in the temple. This is disrespectful to the goddess. How can you be polluted by this in this chaste place?" ?”

"It was the stupid and lecherous Poseidon who seduced the pure Medusa? Why couldn't the goddess hear Medusa's cry for help? Why did she punish the humiliated person in the end? Why was the culprit able to roam free at sea? "

"Poseidon was not spared from the flames of the goddess' anger." Olivia avoided Shahe's eyes, only feeling the nerves throbbing, and she continued, "It says so in the book. "

"Anyway—" Xia He shook his head, his eyes flashed a little coldly, "Goddess Athena doesn't know right from wrong, she is in vain the goddess of wisdom."

"It seems that you have a lot of resentment towards the goddess." Olivia chuckled, she saw the anger and hatred deeply hidden in Xia He's eyes, and there was an illusion that these emotions were all caused by her .

Xia He didn't answer, she brushed the yellowed book with her hand, and said in a low voice: "Goddess Athena not only cursed Medusa, but she also watched Perseus cut off Medusa's body." The head, and put her in the center of the shield. Is the heart of the goddess made of iron stone? That's right, she has a father like Zeus, so how could she be any better?"

It is rare that Xiahe can talk so much, Olivia actually wanted to laugh, she pursed her lips, pointed to a distant place, and said softly: "I thought your words should go to the Temple of Athena To confide, not in my palace."

"Olivia." Xiahe squinted his eyes and called out, "Don't you think all this has nothing to do with you? The blood that fell on the mainland will eventually turn into a raging fire and burn this country."

"What do you mean?" Olivia's gaze became subtle. She looked at Xiahe as if she were looking at a stranger, and she sneered, "Could it be that our Marshal is possessed by a ghost?"

Xia He chuckled, she licked her lips, and the coldness between her brows and eyes suddenly turned into a kind of coquettishness, so that Olivia thought she was dazzled, and stretched out her hands to rub her eyes vigorously.Shaher pulled down Olivia's hand, kissed the back of her hand devoutly, a bit of ambiguity and charm flashed in her eyes, she no longer entangled in that topic, but leaned into Olivia's ear By the side, she almost whispered into her ear: "Tonight, I will stay in the palace."

Surrounded by the warm breath, Olivia's ears turned red immediately, and she shyly pushed Shahe away, not knowing what to say for a while.As Grand Marshal, Xia He has his own mansion, and he should not stay overnight in the palace without His Majesty's will.But on the other hand, she is the partner of His Royal Highness Olivia. When this Highness becomes the queen, I am afraid that the entire Marshal's Palace will be moved to the palace.
