Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

Chapter 305 Alice: This is a marriage proposal for Yu Jian Xiang Ye.

One day later, in the Belzegu Palace, Alexia, who had been waiting in the capital for three days, finally met Princess Belzegu Stellarxiu Thord Alice.

After a simple greeting, the conversation got down to business.

"'My Lady Alexia, what is the important matter you came here to talk about this time?' The above is what Princess Alice wants to ask." Alice's close minister Kureya Shifannia asked Alexia in a serious tone.

However, while speaking, Kureya's eyes were looking at Yu Jian Xiang Ye who was sitting next to Alexia, because she was a fan of Yu Jian Xiang Ye.

"My Lady Princess, I came here on behalf of the cult this time, mainly for two things. Let's talk about the first thing first. We accidentally learned that someone wanted to assassinate you, Princess, and they have made preparations." Alexia said very calmly.

After all, who is not a princess? Moreover, when Alexia was a princess, she did not use her close ministers to convey her words like Alice did. Who is she looking down on?

"What? Whoever wants to assassinate the princess must be torn into pieces." Kuleiya exploded immediately after hearing this.

After all, the eldest daughter of the Shifannia family dotes on Princess Alice very much, even to the extent that she has always had improper thoughts about the princess.

How could she, who is so sick, listen to the information that someone wants to assassinate Alice.

In comparison, Rain on the other side of Alice is much calmer, but her eyes are narrowed at this moment. After all, she is the princess's education specialist and guard magician.

Once Princess Alice gets into trouble, she can't escape her responsibility as a guard, so she also attaches great importance to Alexia's news.

"Let's put the first thing aside for now, let's talk about the second thing!" Alexia directly changed the subject.

"Asshole, is there anything more important than the safety of Princess Alice? Hurry up and tell me what you know, otherwise..." Kuleiya said this excitedly, and she couldn't continue.

Because she felt an extremely terrifying breath emanating from Alexia, making her feel as if she was being stared at by a dragon.

"Woman, this conversation is only between Her Royal Highness and the Axis Cult, so find out your identity. As the princess's mouthpiece, I have no objection to you speaking, but you don't have the right to speak here, so shut up. This time, for the sake of Her Royal Highness, I won't bother with you." Alexia's tone suddenly became gloomy.

"You" Kuleiya wanted to say something, but she was stopped by Alice beside her as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Okay, Kuleiya, I know you care about my safety, but you should still listen to the conditions of Her Excellency Alexia." Alice said.

Papapapa!

Hearing this, Alexia clapped her hands and praised: "As expected of Her Highness, you are so outstanding at such a young age. But this is right, this is how nobles should deal with each other."

"Is Your Highness Alexia a noble?" Alice asked curiously.

"It doesn't matter whether it is or not. The important thing is the second thing. Please listen carefully, Princess Alice." Alexia said immediately.

"I'm all ears!" Alice nodded.

"The Axis Cult hopes that the kingdom will issue the reward for defeating the Demon King in advance." Alexia looked at Alice and said slowly.

"Is the reward for defeating the Demon King issued in advance? Sorry, Your Highness Alexia, I don't quite understand what your church means." Alice frowned after hearing this.

"Every once in a while, the brave candidates who appear on the continent are all reincarnated from the goddess of water that my church believes in. I think Your Highness should be very clear about this." Alexia did not say it directly, but asked.

"I know this very well." Alice nodded.

In fact, the Axis Cult took root in Alcanretia, which was also the intention of the ancient Kingdom of Belzer.

After all, with the group of irrelevant people in the Axis Cult, it would be difficult to develop the cult, let alone support themselves.

If it was allowed to develop, this church would have been lost in history long ago.

And this is absolutely intolerable for the people in power in the historical kingdom.

Because both the royal family and the nobles of the kingdom have been constantly introducing the blood of powerful heroes since the past, so that the potential ability has been greatly improved.

So even if Aqua reincarnated so many heroes, there has not been a family established by a hero from ancient times to the present.

The root cause is that the hero candidates who chose the plug-in ability were regarded as the source of blood improvement by the family of the ruler.

And the hero candidates holding the artifacts have become the supplementary source of important weapons.

Because of this, the authorities did not allow the Axis Cult to disappear. After all, without the faith, if the goddess of water no longer reincarnates the hero, the situation will be terrible.

In fact, the Eris Cult has been able to tolerate the Axis Cult until now, one reason is that Eris personally sent down an oracle to the church leaders.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for any ordinary clergyman to know that Aqua and Eris are seniors and juniors.

Another reason is that the Eris Cult also values ​​the hero candidates who are continuously reincarnated by Aqua, so they did not care about the Axis Cult.

After all, those who can serve as high-level officials of the Eris Cult are basically powerful and noble, and they are also envious of the scarce resources such as the Hero Candidate.

"Then the Hero Candidate is regarded as the messenger of the Axis Cult. Your Highness should agree with this statement." Alexia continued.

"Well, it is true!" Alice was stunned for a moment, but did not deny it against her will.

After all, regardless of whether the people who were reincarnated from Aqua joined or were close to the Axis Cult, they are nominally affiliated with the Axis Cult. This statement is correct.

Who said that the reincarnated people were all sent to this world by Aqua? In the description of religion, they are typical goddess messengers. There is nothing wrong with it.

"That is to say, the messengers of my religion have been fighting for the ancient kingdom of Belzer and the demon army. I think Your Highness also agrees with this." Alexia continued.

"Yes, but." Alice nodded, but wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Alexia as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Your Highness, I know you want to say that the kingdom has paid in the past, and I know that. After all, if it weren't for Alcanretia, the cult wouldn't have continued until today." Alexia didn't make a fuss.

"It's great that Your Excellency Alexia can understand." Alice replied lightly.

Alice's meaning was also very clear, that is, the kingdom has paid, so don't think of bargaining with the previous hero candidates.     A deeper meaning is that the kingdom can't give out the reward for defeating the demon king in advance because of this.

In fact, the reward for defeating the demon king in the ancient kingdom of Belzer is actually to win Princess Alice.

In this way, there is no need to pay any extra rewards. After all, the princess of a country is not enough, and the position of the king cannot be given up, so it can definitely shut the mouth of the hero.

As for whether the hero is willing to marry, that is the hero's business. Anyway, the reward is this heavyweight, don't think of bargaining.

You have to know that the demon king has been defeated, and there is nothing for the hero to do.

In other words, the hero who defeated the demon king is no longer valuable. At most, he can be exploited with force.

Apart from this, the second point is to get the hero's bloodline. After all, the hero who can defeat the demon king must have the best bloodline among many heroes. There is no reason for the royal family to let go of such a bloodline.

Yes, in fact, Alice completely misunderstood Alexia's words at this moment, thinking that Alexia was proposing marriage to Yu Jian Xiangye.

"I think the princess has misunderstood something." Alexia has been reading Alice's expression, so she judged that Alice misunderstood her meaning based on Alice's expression and answer.

She thought that she came to propose marriage to Yu Jian Xiangye with the information that someone was going to assassinate Alice.

"Misunderstanding?" Alice was stunned when she heard it. After all, according to Alexia's words, her purpose was to propose marriage.

What is there to misunderstand?

Or did she misunderstand it?

"Your Highness, you have misunderstood. I am not here for Yu Jianjun. After all, there have been many candidates for heroes from ancient times to the present, but no one has accomplished the feat of defeating the Demon King, so I naturally cannot be 100% sure that Yu Jianjun can accomplish this feat." Alexia shook her head and said.

"Then what do you mean, sir?" Alice became more and more puzzled.

After all, if it is not confirmed that Yu Jianxiangye can defeat the Demon King, then what is the point of giving out rewards in advance.

"It's very simple. Her Majesty the Goddess has come in person. This is the reason why I came here this time." Alexia immediately broke the news.

"What?!"

Hearing this news, not to mention Alice, Rein and Kureya, even Yu Jianxiang beside Alexia was stunned.

"It is because the goddess came in person that I dare to be sure that the Demon King's army has entered the countdown. However, it is also because of the goddess's personal arrival that I am extremely dissatisfied with the current situation of the Axis Cult after understanding it, and then I have a meeting with Her Royal Highness the Princess at this moment." Alexia said immediately.

"The goddess came in person?" Alice couldn't help but murmured.

At this moment, she and the two close ministers around her understood why Alexia dared to ask for rewards in advance.

And the three women were sure that the reward that Alexia or the Axis Cult asked for was definitely not to let Yu Jian Xiangye and Alice marry.

Otherwise, Alexia would not have singled out the goddess' dissatisfaction with the current situation of the Axis Cult.

"I wonder where Her Royal Highness the Goddess is now? I want to see Her Royal Highness." Alice asked in a low voice at this moment.

"Your Highness, before the Cult and the Kingdom reach an agreement, I think Her Royal Highness the Goddess should not be in the mood to see anyone." Alexia refused firmly.

"Sir Alexia, this is very difficult for the kingdom." Alice also replied firmly.

"I know that Her Royal Highness wants to meet Your Majesty in person to confirm Your Majesty's attitude, and I do not deny that the church wants to improve the current situation with the goddess's presence.

But for now, an audience is impossible. Only after reaching an agreement will we arrange an audience. There is no room for negotiation on this point. In fact, Your Majesty has no time at the moment. He is currently busy preparing to eliminate the Demon King's army." Alexia said slowly.

"This is really reassuring news. I wonder how your church wants to change the current situation?" Alice asked after thinking for a while.

"Your Highness Princess also understands the situation of my sect, so I will say it directly. We want a title that cannot be lower than that of a baron, a piece of real territory, and then the integration of politics and religion to ensure that after the Demon King is defeated, the Axis Cult will still have a place to exist, and ensure that there are enough believers to provide faith for Her Majesty the Goddess." Alexia answered.

"Is Alcanretia alone not enough?" Alice looked at Alexia and asked.

"Your Highness Princess, Alcanretia is the price of the previous transaction. The kingdom gave up the right to operate this territory, and the cult also paid faith. Otherwise, how could Her Majesty the Goddess continuously provide the kingdom with brave candidates?

But this time is different. The goddess is here in person. If the kingdom does not pay a high enough price, we would rather persuade the goddess to return to the divine world. After all, without subsequent means of protection, it is better to let the Demon King's army continue to exist." Alexia said it very bluntly.

"How can this be!" After hearing what Alexia said, the first person to react was not Alice and the other two girls, but Yu Jian Xiangye.

Of course, his opposition had nothing to do with the persecution of the kingdom's people by the demon army, but simply because he admired Aqua very much.

In the past, he hid this admiration because he knew that he would never see Aqua in the divine world again in this life.

But now that Aqua has descended to the lower world, he doesn't want to be persuaded back by the people of the Axis Cult without seeing the goddess of his dreams.

"Shut up, it's none of your business!" Alexia shouted in a low voice.

Seeing Alexia's slightly angry eyes, Yu Jian Xiangye immediately remembered the slap in the face three days ago, and quickly shut up.

On the other side, after seeing Alexia scold Yu Jian Xiangye, Alice couldn't help but sigh.

She now fully understood the purpose of Alexia's trip.

In simple terms, it was to convey the requirements of the Axis Cult to the real decision-makers, namely the king and the ministers, by meeting me.

As for the first thing I said at the beginning, it was just to sell me a favor so that I could repay the favor in the kingdom's decision-making later and say a few good words for the Axis Cult.

In fact, Alice was not disgusted by the requirements of the Axis Cult. After all, the goddess herself came down, and it was normal to ask for some benefits for the cult that believed in her. After all, the current situation of the Axis Cult was really bad.

Or it has always been bad and never got better. Who said that the core doctrine of the Axis Cult was outrageous.
