Chapter 1859: The Old King Seems Angry
Bertie was dumbfounded for a few seconds upon hearing the question. "What did you say?"
"...," General Wind dared not repeat his previous words under the gaze of the old king.
Bertie stared at him intently for a whole minute. "I never expected you to propose such a question."
General Wind's heart raced at this reply, and his mind became a bit chaotic. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
The old king seemed angry.
But for the sake of his daughter, his only daughter, he would make every effort.
"King Louis is like a ray of light in Winnie's life. He is the only one who can pull her out of the darkness of depression. Please, for the sake of my lifelong loyalty to you, please approve of this marriage!" General Wind pleaded.
As soon as the words fell, General Wind knelt before him.
"No." Bertie replied without hesitation, using a serious tone.
"Emotions should not be used as a transaction! You have been loyal to the royal family, and the royal family has rewarded you accordingly! Your title, your salary, the well-being of you and your family for the rest of your lives!"
"You saved my life, and when I offered you a reward, you declined. Now, you can still ask for anything you want. But I am the first to disagree with marrying Winnie to Louis."
"...," General Wind didn't expect the old king to be so firm in his words. There was no room for negotiation.
Bertie also realized that he had been a bit too harsh in his tone. As a father, he could understand General Wind's feelings.
So, he changed his tone and spoke again, "Love, it must be mutual, not charity, and certainly not pity."
The old king stood still, looking down at him. "So, in Winnie's case, I am helpless as well. Please rise."
There was no hope left for the old king, and General Wind didn't want to waste any more time.
He slowly stood up, a look of desolation on his face.
But to protect his precious daughter, his only source of light, he decided to personally communicate with King Louis.
"I understand." General Wind bowed sadly. "I will take my leave." With that, he turned and left.
Bertie sighed as he watched his departing figure. He never expected that he would go to his son.
Meanwhile, Tristan and Monica were taking wedding photos. They chose the front yard of a romantic castle with a long history. The surroundings were peaceful and green, and their attire and makeup had a special forest-like style.
Monica, wearing a light green wedding gown and a flower crown, exuded a fresh and artistic charm, giving off a delicate and sweet vibe.
Tristan, too, was not dressed too formally, leaning towards a casual style.
The photos taken in this way felt even more heartwarming.
Rowan and Claire came to admire them. The photography team was specially hired for the Layeka royal family and their skills were absolutely superb.
Therefore, the resulting photos were exceptionally good. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Meanwhile, General Wind had arrived at the entrance of King Louis' palace. The servant informed him that the king had gone out and they didn't know when he would return, so General Wind decided to wait there.
About an hour later, Louis returned alone.
General Wind immediately spotted him and quickly gathered his thoughts, organizing his words in his mind. He couldn't afford to miss this one and only hope.
"General Wind?" Louis found it a bit strange to see him because it was evident that General Wind had been waiting for him.
"Your Majesty." The middle-aged man bowed to him. "I have been waiting for you for an hour. Can you spare me ten minutes? I have something important to discuss with you."
