(Quick Transmigration) Meat Eating Journey

Western Palace‧Chief Guard (7-8)

Chapter 7

His Majesty Alexander III, the King of the Kosai Kingdom, is recognized as a man of good fortune. He has been the crown prince for more than thirty years. He spent the first thirty years of his life eating, drinking, having fun, and playing games in the world.

He inherited the throne at the age of thirty-five, and he was full of plans. He only shouldered the responsibility for two years and then left all the state affairs to his daughter, who was only fourteen years old at the time and continued to be his rich and idle man.

It can be said that his life has been smooth sailing and he has rarely worried about anything. The only thing he is worried about is probably his daughter's marriage.

So when he was seriously ill, he still held his daughter's hand in a daze: 「Lily, my baby... you must find a good husband, so... this way I can close my eyes even after I die.」

What he talked about was nothing but the love and care of a loving father. Margaery sat on the edge of the bed with her head lowered, no matter what her father said, she nodded silently.

Anthony and a group of guards were guarding the door. The doctors were busy discussing, and everyone had anxious looks on their faces.

Anthony looked at Arthur who was silent next to him, and couldn't help but secretly thought, His Majesty has become like this, it seems that the princess's marriage can no longer be postponed.

As the first heir to this huge kingdom, she will be crowned queen after her father's death. Margaery's marriage is still beyond her control.

After all, she is still too young. A strong husband will help her win people's hearts after she succeeds to the throne.

Being unmarried will also make the lords look down on her, and every noble knows that giving birth to a healthy heir is the most important thing.

Various reasons forced her to consider the candidate for her husband as soon as possible. The king was still thinking about this matter when he was seriously ill, because behind the father and daughter, the king's cousin was eyeing him. If Margaery was a little weaker after taking the throne, she would be deprived of the throne.

It seems that this pair of lovers will never get married. Anthony thought with regret that if His Majesty the King could live a few more years, it might be possible for the two of them. Who knows that His Majesty would suddenly become seriously ill?

The results of the diagnosis have come out. If His Majesty can survive these few days, there is still hope of recovery. If not, the Kosai Kingdom will have to find a new ruler.

It was already late at night, the king finally fell asleep, and Margaery walked out of the bedroom with a tired look on her face.

「Your Highness.」 Arthur walked over quickly. The girl raised her head. Her pale face made Arthur's heart ache. He wanted to say something, but his thin lips moved, but nothing came out.

How many years had passed since he had seen her look so fragile again?

The princess in Arthur's memory was always proud and strong, except for one time.

Arthur still remembered that at that time, Her Majesty the Queen had just passed away due to illness, and His Majesty the King had been crying all day long. She was still only a nine-year-old princess, patting her father on the shoulder to encourage him to cheer up.

People say that the little princess is really a strong child.

But Arthur knew it was not the case. He was guarding the little princess every day, and in the deserted courtyard late at night, he heard the little princess sobbing.
