Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

One is that Alice knows too little about Claire and is skeptical about her loyalty.

Another is that Alice feels a little guilty about accepting this kindness.

Seeing Alice's tangled expression, Alexia couldn't help asking, "Are you worried about me, elder sister?"

"I know too little about Claire." Alice's answer seemed irrelevant to what Alexia asked, but in fact, not answering was a default.

"As for Claire, you can slowly learn about her after she becomes your personal guard. As for me, since I have put the application in front of elder sister, it proves that I don't care. After all, I just gave one of the transfer rights of the two knights to my sister." Alexia smiled and said.

"Another?!" Alice felt a little numb when she heard it.

"Well, Claire said that after the blood moon, the Black Tower intends to form a mercenary group. She asked me on behalf of Elizabeth if I am willing to support it. If I am willing, I can mobilize the mercenary group to fight for me at a critical moment." Alexia continued.

After all, Alice couldn't hide this matter from her, so it didn't matter if she said it in advance. After all, Alexia believed that her sister would not ruin her.

"Alexia, the conditions offered by the Black Tower should not be limited to this." Alice instinctively felt that the benefits must be more than this.

"Yes!" Alexia nodded, but did not continue to say.

Alice was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then did not ask any more questions, but said: "Alexia, about the power of the Impossible City"

"Sister, others can do it, why can't I? Even if I have never thought of competing with you for the throne, I also need strength to increase my voice. I don't want the incident of Geno Gulifi to happen again." Alexia's voice was a little gloomy when she said this.

"Well, if you insist, I will support you." Alice did not persuade too much. After all, she knew that the secret society of [Thirteen Night Swords], headed by Prad Dakuaiken and known as the Shadow Ruler of the Kingdom of Midgar, had a close connection with the City of Nowhere.

And this is almost the same in all countries. It can even be said that the City of Nowhere is actually the darkest gathering place in the deepest part of all countries.

"Thank you for your support, elder sister!" Alexia smiled and said.

"Alexia, is Claire's condition only the title of nobility?" Alice looked at Alexia and asked.

After all, the conditions Claire has given so far are too generous. A title that is basically self-reliant cannot be used as a condition of exchange.

"I can't hide it from elder sister!" Alexia sighed and said.

"So what does she want?" Alice asked with a serious expression.

"She wants Sid to be my fiancé!" Alexia said the purpose of her leading the topic.

"What, is this her purpose? No, I absolutely..." Alice almost jumped up when she heard this.

Unfortunately, before she finished speaking, Alexia blocked her mouth with her finger.

"Sister, I have no grievances. Although Sid's background and status are not good, I am very satisfied with everything else except these two points. If I can, I hope to hold an engagement ceremony with Sid after graduation." Alexia said very seriously.

"Alexia" Alice looked at her sister's serious expression when she heard this, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

At this moment, she finally understood what Alexia meant by what she said before.

The fiancé of the second heir to the kingdom is indeed not someone who can afford the conditions.

Perhaps some people would think that as long as Alice, the first heir, does not have any problems, then Alexia, the second heir, will never have a chance to succeed, and naturally it is not that important.

But the actual situation is not like this.

Let's put it this way. Even if the King of Midgar abdicates in a few years and lets Alice inherit the throne, Alexia will be promoted from the second heir to the first heir.

And this status will last for many years, until Alice has an eldest son or daughter, and when they grow up to a certain extent and are confirmed to have the ability to inherit, Alice will make them the so-called crown prince or crown princess, and clarify their status as the first heir.

In other words, until that time comes, Alexia's status as the first heir will not be shaken at all.

And if Alice has an accident during this period, it will be Alexia's turn to ascend the throne.

So even if Alice gives birth to children, as long as the first heir status of the prince or princess is not really confirmed, Alexia's right to inherit the throne will be ranked first.

In other words, Alexia's status as the first heir can span more than ten years.

He is definitely second to none, so the position of the princess's fiancé who may become the king is absolutely crucial.

Take Geno Gulifi for example. Once he successfully marries Alexia, his kidnapping target will definitely change from Alexia to Alice.

Even if he is more ruthless, he can make the reigning King of Midgar die of illness, so as to achieve his goal of controlling the Kingdom of Midgar from behind.

It is precisely because of Alexia's special status that her fiancé is the target pursued by many nobles.

"Sister, you also know that after Geno Gulifi disappeared, many nobles were ready to make a move around the candidate list for my fiancé, and some were even already in operation. But I don't like any of these people, or to be more direct, I don't want to be involved with these ambitious guys." Alexia said very seriously at this moment.

"Alexia, there is actually no need to do this." Alice couldn't help but say with pity.

"Sister, I chose Sid because I like him, and I don't want to affect you because of the marriage. To be honest, I have given myself to Sid. If you don't support me, either choose to kill Sid, and then we will wait to be killed by Claire in revenge, or I will just die accidentally." Alexia blew herself up directly.

After all, after becoming a woman, she can still hide a little when staying in the academy, but after returning to the palace, it is basically impossible to hide from the eyes of those cunning people.

So Alexia had foreseen that as time went by, rumors about her would inevitably arise.

That’s why she took this opportunity to win the support of her sister Alice, and it would be best if she could decide on a fiancé before the rumors spread.

After all, engagement can be done after graduation, but the fiancé doesn’t have to wait until then.

“Alexia, why are you doing this? I’m not as fragile as you think!” Alice was very sad after hearing this.

After all, in her opinion, her sister didn’t care about herself so much, and even made a serious mistake, mainly because she didn’t want to be affected by her.

“Sister, Geno’s situation is enough once, and it must not happen a second time. Only by doing this can we eliminate the thoughts that those people shouldn’t have in their hearts.” Alexia shook her head, after all, it’s easy to avoid an open spear, but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark.

“Alexia, as long as you decide, I will definitely support you, but you also know that those people won’t give up so easily.” Alice said.

"I've already done this, but the other party is still not sure to give up. That proves that they are ambitious. They don't even care about their reputation and want to intervene. That's worth being vigilant, even when necessary." Alexia's tone became dangerous when she said this.

"Alexia, don't mess around." Alice couldn't help but dissuade her. After all, even the royal family couldn't take action against the nobles without sufficient reasons.

"Sister, I didn't say I would take action. Besides, is it wrong for me to choose a person who cannot be supported politically to express my attitude of not competing for the throne? Even if it goes to my father, I believe he will consider this proposal that is beneficial to strengthening the royal family's strength." Alexia said confidently.

After listening to Alexia's words, Alice sighed helplessly, and then said: "Let Claire come to see me tomorrow. I need to have a good talk with her."

Alice's words showed that she directly accepted Alexia's proposal and planned to stand up and endorse the Siyue Chamber of Commerce.

Otherwise, who told her sister to make sacrifices on her own initiative?

In addition, objectively speaking, although money certainly cannot impress Alice, the military strength of the two knights is something that Alice cannot ignore.

Especially since the power of these two knights is outside the rights of the nobles, this is even more valuable.

Even though Alice opposes treating Alexia's marriage as a transaction, she knows very well that this is the fate that royal family members cannot avoid.     The only difference lies in the size of the benefits and the degree to which the marriage partner can satisfy Alexia.

And there is no doubt that the two knights Claire bid for at least look more intuitive than others.

Even if these two knights are not exclusive, they don't need to spend a penny to support them.

And this incident also gave Alice an inspiration. She has been considering how to identify useful people and make the knights she can currently control into a group within a group.

After all, as long as Geno Gulifi's affairs are not announced, Alice has no reason to openly suspect the knights of infidelity.

Of course, this is also good. Although it cannot be used as an excuse to establish one's own exclusive knight group, it can be screened among the knights, and then the loyal ones can be selected to form a separate army.

Even if the number of people is reduced, at least you don't have to spend all the expenses yourself.

Then there is the value of Claire herself. I didn't expect that the eldest daughter of a country baron would have such a network of people.

You know, that is the city of no way. She is the lifesaver of the two high tower rulers. If this is true, even if it is not used at present, it is enough to make Claire have a very high value of winning over.

How great it would be if she was not a brother-loving demon!

Of course, it doesn't matter now, as long as Alexia likes it.

"Then sister, when are we going to see our father?" Alexia asked while the iron is hot.

"After I meet Claire!" Alice answered very straightforwardly.

After all, it is related to the reputation of the royal family and her sister, and Alice doesn't want to drag it on.

"Thank you, big sister. I love you the most." Alexia immediately threw herself into Alice's arms and said.

"Alas, as long as you like it, the only thing I can do is to support you." Alice couldn't help but sigh.

And the reason why she could be so straightforward was that Alice had a compensatory mentality.

After all, when she confirmed that Geno was the candidate for Alexia's fiancé, she failed to speak for Alexia. Who told Alice at that time that Geno was a good marriage partner?

The next morning, Li De calculated the time when the train arrived and sent Claire to the capital.

However, Claire did not go to the palace at the first time, but went to the Siyue Chamber of Commerce with Li De.

Because the invitation letter from the palace was sent here.

When he came to the top floor of the Siyue Chamber of Commerce with Claire, Li De saw the invitation letter and letter sent by Alexia.

After taking the invitation letter and looking at it, Li De saw that the name of the inviter on it was Alice's.

After opening the letter specially sent by Alexia, Li De found that the matter was a little different from what he had talked to her before.

"Sid, I think this is better!" When Reed saw it, Claire, who was sticking to Reed, also saw it, and immediately expressed her attitude.

"Well, as long as it doesn't hinder our purpose, there's no problem." Although Reed said this, he was still a little dissatisfied with Alexia's unauthorized change.

But Reed must take care of Claire's will of not wanting to stay with Alexia, so he didn't say much.

After asking Gamma to prepare a dress for Claire to attend the dinner, Claire got on the carriage to the palace after afternoon tea.

The reason why they went so early was because Alice needed to talk to Claire in advance.

With the power of the contract to keep in touch at any time, Claire didn't let anything slip during the conversation.

As for Alice, she no longer doubted her strength after meeting Claire.

Who can't say that Claire only merged the heart of the fire demon a day ago to enhance her strength.

The breath that could not be completely restrained because of the lack of control gave Alice a strong pressure, and this was also a lucky coincidence.

In fact, before the fusion, if Claire's magic power was digitized, it would probably be at most around 1900. There is actual data in the novel, and this is the value after Aurora's possession.

But after the fusion of the Flame Demon Heart, Claire's magic power value increased dramatically, and Li De felt that it was at least dozens or hundreds of times stronger than before.

After all, the incomplete demon bloodline and the complete Flame Demon bloodline are completely two completely different concepts.

And if Li De hadn't fused the Flame Demon Heart with Claire, this would have suddenly changed the meeting of the personnel, and it might have caused a mess.

This is what Li De was dissatisfied with, after all, when Alexia boasted, she forgot about Claire's own strength.

But this was not Alexia's intention, but Alexia's confidence in Li De was too much.

After all, in her opinion, Li De could improve his strength by several levels in a short period of time, so Li De must have put more effort into his sister, so Claire's strength is very strong without thinking.

As for the results of the Martial God Festival, they were mostly suppressed deliberately. Who told Li De to hide it?

Without a slave contract, Li De naturally didn't know what Alexia was thinking.

But this time, he accidentally completed the self-justification of Claire's super-strong identity.

The next day, when Claire went to be Alice's guard with an unhappy face, Li De met Alexia in the villa.

Lying in Li De's arms, Alexia's face flushed and panted. After a long time, she said: "Tonight, my sister and I plan to confront our father. If it goes well, we can confirm our relationship in a short time."

"So urgent?" Li De was a little surprised when he heard it.

"Sid, the manners of girls and women can't be hidden from the eyes of those in the palace. It's only a matter of time before rumors spread." Alexia said after giving Li De a charming look.

After all, it's hard not to be noticed if you are moisturized like this every once in a while.

"Ah, I overlooked it." Li De was stunned for a moment, then said with a hint of apology.

"I don't mean to blame you. After all, even if there are rumors in a short period of time, they can still be controlled. In fact, I originally planned to talk to my father after the blood moon came, but now the time is just a little earlier." Alexia was ready to show her cards when she sacrificed herself.

In fact, the original plan was basically planned by Alexia herself.

After the blood moon, Claire was knighted, so it was naturally worth winning over.

At that time, Alexia had some confidence in showing her cards. After all, when it really didn't work, she could still push Li De out. Of course, this was the last trump card until it was absolutely necessary.
