queen of the empire

Is the person His Highness likes me?

it's me?

How could the person whom His Royal Highness Holaini likes become me? How could it happen? It's completely unreasonable!I don't understand at all!

Ivy can't tell what mood he is in now, he just thinks it's too unreal. How can he be worthy of Holeini with his identity?What's so good about me?

Free love is a normal thing for common people, because there is no need to worry about their status being affected, but nobles are mostly married, and marriages are mostly supported by status and property, especially heirs below the second son.

In fact, strictly speaking, only those with titles can be called nobles. Their descendants do not have titles, they are just civilians who look nobler than ordinary civilians, and there will be some preferential treatment in law.

Just like Ivy.

Ivy's father is Baron Bart. Once Baron Bart dies, it will be Ivy's brother Aiga who will inherit the title and become a baron. Most of the family's property is also owned by Aiga. Ivy will become an ordinary commoner, because his Glory comes from the previous generation.

Not only the barons, but also the sons of marquises are treated the same way, so marriage in the upper class is very prudent, and it is very important to choose a marriage partner well. If you have no status, you must have money, and if you have no money, you must have status. If you have both, it is best It couldn't be better.

Of course the eldest son doesn’t have to worry, the second son and below have to plan carefully, if they have the strength to work hard to join the knight order, become the personal guard of the great nobles, enter the army to make meritorious deeds, etc. For example, Efa, he is not the eldest son and cannot inherit Nobility, so his father sent him to Holeini.

Those who are incapable can plan a knighthood for themselves through marriage, even a baron viscount may be possible. If they can’t find a suitable marriage partner with status, then they will find the children of rich merchants, which is usually only done by the lowest-ranking nobles. No one with any status is willing to marry a commoner, no matter how rich they are.

Marriages with mismatched identities may be ridiculed. For example, if a duke marries a commoner, the commoner is of course admired, but the duke will be ridiculed by the upper class. They won't marry him anymore. They pretend that they don't want their blood to be tarnished, but there are actually other reasons in it.

This is also a kind of self-protection that is customary among the nobles. The title is limited, and it is not something you can get if you want it. There is not enough internally, and it is unbearable for the common people to share it.

Marriages between nobles value status very much, which is why Essie's father will be promoted to a title. The queen's background in the future must not be bad, and even if it is bad, she must reform it the day after tomorrow, so as not to be ridiculed.

So there are many marriages without feelings in the upper class, so the "profession" of lovers is very popular. Don't think that only commoners will be lovers, and there are many nobles who are lovers. For example, Piram's mother Rita, she is a A countess, her husband prefers men to women, and the two are just married.She became Sandroux's lover, and her husband also had another lover, and the two did not interfere with each other. After the death of the count, she became even more blatant.

At that time, Sandro was just a prince. After the death of the count, Rita gave birth to Sandro's child. She thought that Sandro would marry her. Who knew that the other party married a younger, more beautiful man with a better background than her? Sandro became the emperor soon after, and Rita became the emperor's mistress. If Piram hadn't been born, Sandro probably would have ignored her. Even if it was an illegitimate child, this is not normal His illegitimate son is the direct blood of the royal family.

Ivy feels that the situation between himself and Holini is almost the same. The status and status are too different. If he is with Holini, he will definitely be pointed at, and Holini will definitely be ridiculed. .

The common people may think this is a very beautiful love story, like the prince and Cinderella, but the two of them live in the aristocratic circle, and the common people who can usually talk are mostly servants at home, and what the common people say is not important at all , what is important is the pressure given by the entire aristocratic circle.

Ivey didn't want Holeini whom he respected to be ridiculed because of himself, so from the actual situation, it is OK for him to be Holeini's lover, and he can be accepted by other nobles, because this kind of thing is too common.

But Ivy didn't have that kind of interest.

So he felt that there was no possibility between himself and Holini!This is very different from being friends, and it is impossible to be blessed by other nobles.

Ivy changed from being stupid at the beginning to being panic-stricken. He could talk a lot to Hollini, saying how the two of them were inappropriate, but he couldn't say anything when he looked at Hollini's sincere eyes.

This person is serious and not kidding himself.

This earnestness made Ivy feel ashamed. The respected His Royal Highness Hollini is indeed an amazing person, with such a pure and sincere love, he does not dislike his identity at all, and even publicly stated on TV that he wants to marry him. Well, I only think about things like status and status. Compared with Holaini's pure feelings, my thoughts are so corrupt and unbearable.

But it is precisely because of this that Ivey feels that he should be more cautious and not allow Holeini to be criticized because of him.

"I...I..." Ivey hesitated and didn't know what to say, he was thinking about the reason for his refusal.

Hollini looked at Ivy expectantly. He had [-]% confidence in Ivy's acceptance of him. He felt that no one would reject him like this. Besides, his little Ivy didn't resist his kiss, maybe Already like it.

"Don't be nervous, speak slowly." Hollini smiled.

"I..." Ivy's forehead was almost sweating.

"What?" Holini continued to hold Ivy's shoulder and smiled.

Just when Ivy felt that he was going to die, he suddenly had an idea, and then he choked out a sentence that made Holaini's blood bar return to zero, and it was nothing more than a bolt from the blue.

"I... I have someone I like..."

That's right, I already have someone I like. This is the truth. Your Highness Holleny knows that I like Brad!

Really, why did I suddenly forget about Brad!Brad is a ready excuse!

Hollini: "..."

……

According to Holeini's recollections much later:

This was the saddest moment of his life.

none of them! ! !
