Chapter 2337 - 2336: The Decision Is Made
Although the Queen’s words were serious, they were also reasonable, because for thousands of years, the rule has been for women to marry men, it is tradition, whether in the Empire or other countries.
This is a conventional pattern.
When it comes to marrying into the bride’s family, not only is it rare among the Royal Family, but even among ordinary families.
Occasionally, there will be one or two cases, which attract gossip.
And generally speaking, it is because the man is not capable, while the woman’s family is well-off, that such situations occur.
Yet even so, many men, even if poor and not as well-off as the woman’s family, still wouldn’t marry into her family, because men are male creatures with strong self-esteem and protective instincts.
So, many people have a certain view of marrying into the bride’s family, generally not considering it as being for love.
So for someone like Alvin, he’s a prince!
Is it truly appropriate to let a Prince marry into the woman’s family?
Clearly not appropriate; it doesn’t make sense in terms of emotion or reason.
But for Nangong Lin, she currently only likes Alvin, and whenever she thinks about leaving her hometown, going to an unfamiliar place, not even a familiar country to live, she truly lacks the courage.
She doesn’t know what color the sky is there, nor what food there is good to eat, not even what customs the locals have; everything about it is unknown to her.
To her, it is all a blank slate.
And this means she has to learn how to be a person of B Country.
No relatives, no friends, only solitude, and she would have to face certain necessary things of the Royal Family, like attending banquets and celebrating holidays.
These are challenges to her, and she truly doesn’t have the courage to resolutely leave her country of more than twenty years to marry in another country.
Moreover, her husband wouldn’t be an ordinary man, but a Prince; even thinking about it makes her feel anxious.
Despite admitting the Queen’s words are correct, Nangong Lin still can’t help feeling a slight pain in her heart.
Because this is the first time she’s ever liked someone.
Maybe her standards were too high before, but she truly never had feelings for anyone, and this first tender moment happened to come with a major dilemma, how could she not feel hurt?
She also wanted to act on impulse once, gritting her teeth and courageously abandoning her life here to follow Alvin.
But what if when she goes to B Country, it’s far different from her expectations, what if that’s not the life she wants?
Therefore, she truly doesn’t have the courage to take this step.
Heart aching slightly, Nangong Lin also gently furrowed her brow, silent, but ultimately she still raised her eyes to look at the Queen and replied, "I understand, Your Majesty the Queen, I will reject him, distance myself from him, not give him any hope. I’m sorry, I love my country and can’t resolutely marry into B Country."
After Nangong Lin finished speaking, her gaze was also filled with extreme desolation, it was tantamount to a decision.
If before she was still pondering, now the Queen was forcing her to make a decision.
After making this decision, there was probably no turning back, she and Alvin were destined to be worlds apart.
Upon hearing Nangong Lin’s words, the Queen also felt very sad, disappointed, downcast, and even slightly heartbroken.
She also wanted to impulsively agree to Alvin not being a Prince, but that was only a moment of impulse; in fact, she couldn’t do it.
The atmosphere was repressively sad for a while, and the Queen also remained silent for a long time, finally lowering her eyes, "Okay, I understand, I’m sorry to have troubled you, since it’s like this, I’ll be taking my leave now."
