Chapter 1276: Political Marriage

Lucy stood at the entrance of the white arch bridge connected to the Royal Library. From here, the upper floor of the steeple-shaped main building of the library was hidden in the clouds. The library was built on the western edge of the city of gold. There is no such thing as a foundation for the entire library, and its base is endless void. The spire of the main building is 100 meters high and divided into thirteen floors, which contains most of Ida Huaxing's academic theories, historical documents, art and technology, and a variety of books. It can be said that this is the source of knowledge of Ida Huaxing. Those academicians of the Academy of Truth will always visit the library every now and then, and bury themselves in the ocean of books.

In addition to the main building with a minaret, the library also has six auxiliary buildings with wing towers. They are centered on the main building and arranged on the left and right, forming a crescent shape with the main building. In front of the building is a square. The fountains on the square have been spraying continuously for many years. They push a huge stone ball in the center of the fountain, making it roll continuously. The stone ball has mottled lines and looks old.

This stone ball symbolizes the entire universe, and it was designed by the first curator of the Royal Library. The first curator named "Golsner" believed that the universe was constantly changing, and there seemed to be no rules there. The mouth of change also contains a certain law. By comparing a large number of historical events, Gosner put forward the "theory of reincarnation of the universe", and designed this theory into this stone ball in detail.

So this stone ball is also called the ball of reincarnation.

Lucy walked across the white arched bridge. The howling wind on the bridge messed up her hairstyle, and a few strands of hair fluttered mischievously with the wind. She pulled her hair back and looked from the guardrail on the bridge, and there were many black spots moving back and forth in the bright sunny sky. And below the city of gold, there are low-altitude thin clouds. Through the gaps in the clouds, you can see the green fertile fields below. In a trance, she seemed to see a flamboyant figure running across the land with a posture full of tension.

How are you?

Now, are you free?

Lucy suddenly felt a pain in her heart. She pressed her lips together and tried to breathe. After a while, she regained her composure, and then she stopped looking at the thin cloud and green field, and walked away. After passing the white arch bridge and bypassing the fountain, she walked up the gray and white stone steps leading to the library gate. At this time, the door suddenly opened, and several figures came out of the library. Lucy thought she was an academician of the Academy of Truth, but she saw a skirt in neon clothes, and someone among them said "Huh", but it was the voice of a girl.

"Isn't this Sister Lucy?"

Lucy raised her head, and it was a young girl two or three years younger than her who was speaking. She has a few lovely freckles on her face, and her pale golden hair is tied up with a jeweled hairnet. The girl looks a little like Lucy, but her expression is malicious. She said: "I heard that Lucy After my sister came back, she locked herself in the palace, and even her father didn't see her, what a big air."

Another girl next to her spoke up, "There's no way, who made our Lucy pretend to be pitiful.

Oh, I forgot how poor she was. I lost my mother when I was young, and I just broke up with my boyfriend not long ago. If it were me, I would cry like crazy, right? "

Then all the girls laughed.

Lucy looked at them coldly and said: "Have you said enough? If you have said enough, get out of the way and don't block my way!"

"Oh, so majestic, so scary." The freckled girl exaggeratedly stroked her chest with her hands, pretended to be pitiful, and shook the oldest girl in the crowd, saying: "Sister Lucy scared me, Sister Alisa is the best and gentlest."

Lucy's eyes fell on the girl.

Alyssa, a girl a year older than her, inherited her mother's pink hair and pink eyes. She has a stability that other girls don't have, which makes her look dignified and beautiful. She nodded to Lucy and said, "Don't blame these children, they are used to being outspoken, and I will teach them a lesson when I go back."

There were four or five girls around, plus Alyssa, all the big and small girls were royal ladies. Among them, Alisa and the other two are sisters Lucy, and the rest are daughters of dukes and marquises. Any one of them is a noble person, otherwise they cannot enter and leave the Royal Library at will.

Lucy glanced at these girls and said: "They really have to control their own mouths. It's okay in the City of Gold. If they still talk like this outside, they will regret it sooner or later."

When the girls heard this, their chests heaved with anger, but they gave Alisa a wink to stop them. When Lucy walked past them, she whispered to one of them: "Next time you hear about my mother, I will stuff the golden rose into your mouth!"

The girl's face immediately changed, she was angry and scared, and her whole body was shaking non-stop. After Lucy disappeared behind the door, she said to Alisa: "Look at her, she doesn't take us seriously now. Alisa, why don't you say a word, are you afraid of her? "

Alisa smiled softly: "Lucy is a wild cat. If you step on her tail casually like this, be careful that she will catch your face. I won't bother to deal with a wild cat. To deal with a wild cat, go to Can't she just throw a wild dog?"

The girls looked confused and couldn't figure out what she was thinking at all.

It was already dusk when Lucy came out of the library. After spending a day in the library today, even she was a little dizzy. After reading the literature records for a day and looking up the information about the Twilight Son, she wanted to find a way to solve the conflict between Alan and her father. But this matter is easy to say, but it is not so easy to actually do it. Even with the abundance of Ida Huaxing's collection, there are still limited records about the Twilight Son, let alone finding clues to trigger inspiration in it.

Lucy didn't give up and planned to come back tomorrow. She walked onto the white arched bridge, but stopped suddenly. Right in the middle of the arch bridge, a large figure stood in the middle of the road. The evening sun fell on his young and handsome face, but this handsome face looked a little evil because of his unscrupulous eyes.

"I heard that you came to the Royal Library, so I rushed over immediately. Lucy, I miss you so much!" He said loudly, his overly loud voice seemed so out of place in the solemn library area.

Lucy frowned: "Alisa told you, right? His Excellency Franco, the son of the Marquis of Mercia?"

Like Link, Franco is also one of her suitors. It's just that compared to Link, who has a good character and is just a little too old-fashioned, Franco is completely another extreme. He is a well-known playboy in the city of gold, and he doesn't talk about principles. As long as it is the target he likes, he will use all means to get him. He was an unscrupulous person, and even seduced the wives of lower-level officials. He was notorious in the city of gold.

In the light of the setting sun, Franco bowed and said, "Who tells me what's important? What's important is that if Her Royal Highness Lucy can agree to have dinner with me, then I will be very honored."

"Really? I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. I read a book all day today, and now I just want to take a good shower and go to bed." Lucy walked onto the arch bridge, as if she didn't see Franco , walked directly past him.

Franco still maintained his bowing posture, and even the smile on his face did not change at all, but suddenly said: "It happens to be something that I am good at when you take a bath and sleep. Otherwise, how about letting me serve Her Royal Highness Lucy?"

Lucy stopped suddenly, and said coldly: "Please pay attention to your words, Your Excellency Franco!"

The young man straightened his body, stretched out his hand to pull his long black hair, closed his eyes and smiled, "Let me remind you, Your Highness Lucy. Although you are a royal daughter, there are too many princes and daughters under your majesty's knees." Come on, how long do you think he will keep his eyes on you? Your mother died early, and your matrilineal relatives are not distinguished. In this palace, if His Majesty ignores you, who else do you think can support you?"

"Oh, what do you mean?"

"Marry me!" Franco opened his arms and smiled happily: "You left Idahua, and wandered outside for a few years for a small human being on Earth. It is no secret that you are in the Golden City. To be honest , as a noble daughter of the royal court, what you do has an identity, and people even doubt whether you are still pure as before. But I don't mind, Your Highness. Even after you and I get married, do you still continue to find that earthling as a lover , I will not care about you either. As long as you give birth to me a son, yes, one is enough. As long as you do this, my father and even the family will become your strongest backing!"

"So, this is the so-called political marriage?"

"You can understand that too." Franco smiled.

Lucy looked at him coldly and laughed: "Your Excellency Franco, I am not pitiful enough to beg you or your family for protection. Besides, if I do, do you think I will lack suitors? Trust me , Those well-dressed men will also not mind my past. And any one of them is better than you, a mere son of a marquis!"

She turned around, not wanting to look at the man again, and was about to move.

Suddenly, her eyes blurred, and there was no smile anymore, Franco with a distorted face dodges to block her way forward.

"Go away!" Lucy shouted.

Franco laughed grimly: "When I came, I asked the family guards to ensure that no one would disturb us around here. Your Highness Lucy, I appreciate your stubbornness. But you don't think it's time for us to have something happen. Even if it is not your wish, His Majesty will reluctantly marry you to me out of reputation considerations, right?"

"You're such a dirty guy." Lucy squinted her eyes: "But do you really think that with your little ability, something can happen?"

Soaring power!

Lucy raised her arm, and at some point, the golden rose was already in her hands. The gun was aimed at Franco, and the overflowing source power continued to transform into golden roses around Lucy. A silver bracelet from her hand also fell off, turning into a silver hound at Lucy's feet. But this hound has no breath of life, it is cold and inorganic, like a precise but cruel killing machine.

A bead of sweat rolled down Franco's forehead when he saw the Golden Rose and the Blade Runner-like Hound. The force that Lucy possesses is somewhat different from the information he received.
