While they were keeping up
a conversation with some plain topic,
Oenothera continued:
>You might think that me,
being given to you as your wife,
is an insult.<
He shook his head.
>You don't need to deny it.
It looks like that, indeed.
But there is more to it in reality.<
>My uncle must have been agitated
to act this way by some people.
He wouldn't have possibly come up with such idea.
But for him it is like killing two birds with one stone.<
"Two birds with one stone?"
the king exclaimed out loud.
The princess nodded.
>You should know that my little brother
is the one to succeed to the crown.
If the regent gets rid of me,
my brother will be left alone.
That's what he hopes for...<
>So I want to ask you
to help me protect my brother.<
