"Actually, the person I wanted to kill at first was not my son Aaron."

Delphine looked melancholy and nervous under the dim light.

"Please forgive me, I may look like a crazy woman now. In order to control me and confirm my identity as a mental patient who needs to be represented, my father and husband have injected me with various drugs all year round."

"Although I have replaced a lot of them, it will take some time to get rid of the impact and return to normal."

Shen Mian nodded: "You continue."

"My Aaron was carefully cared for by his father and ancestors. They would not let his hands be stained with the blood of his relatives, so he knew nothing about my situation."

"According to the empire's rules for men, Aaron is considered a filial boy. He comes to see me every week and asks the medical staff about my current situation and what he has learned recently."

Delphine said softly: "A few months ago, I planned to take back power. The first step was to create chaos in the Duke's Palace."

"The biggest chaos is that one link in the chain of inheritance of power in the Duke's Palace suddenly collapsed."

"My husband, as a son-in-law, can easily be replaced, and his death is not enough."

"so."

"My father and my son, of these two, I want to send one away,"

"Mothers always have a preference for children, regardless of gender," Delphine said. "Initially, I planned to let my father go to see the God of Light."

Shen Mian was ashamed: Can your aristocratic circle speak of murder so elegantly?

"It wasn't until a few days before the operation that my Aaron came to see me in front of the hospital bed again. For the first time, I carefully observed the expression of his eyebrows and eyes, and I found... that he actually looked nothing like me."

Delphine's voice was so low that it was inaudible, almost like a frantic murmur in a dream.

"My child, the child I gave birth to in pain, the child who was taken away from me at birth, how could he, how dare he not look like me at all?"

"The blond hair and blue eyes are like his father, and he is impatient and pretends to be patient like my father... Power, status, and blood are passed down between these three people, silently excluding others."

"What about me? Who am I?"

"My pain, my waiting, my self-righteous motherly love, what are they?"

Delphine's eyes darkened: "At that moment, I wanted Aaron to die."

"So I strangled him with my own hands."

"Ah..." She put away her scattered purple hair and said with a smile, "The family dispute makes you laugh."

Shen Mian let out a long breath. As expected, long-term depression can lead to mental problems.

When most people see a hopeless child, they might think of practicing the trumpet. Ms. De: All the clams are gone!

Thinking of this, Shen Mian suddenly felt a thump in her heart.

Wait, Grace also seems to have blond hair and blue eyes, not Ms. De's purple hair and purple eyes... Ms. De's eyes are now red. Grace, it's dangerous!

"After Aaron's death, my husband and father each had their own secrets, turned against each other, and started fighting among themselves." Delphine seemed to see what Shen Mian was thinking, "I'm afraid that someone can't control themselves and hurt Grace, so why not Let her enter Changjuntai."

She paused and continued: "I always need an heir."

Shen Mian thought to herself: I don’t know if there is too much maternal love, but it is enough.

There was another unspeakable silence.

Delphina slowly calmed down and started talking about the business: "If you don't dislike the devastated Nafanaya family, it will take some time to recover, and I can only provide you with meager help..."

Shen Mian interrupted with a smile: "Do you mind if I am the mastermind behind this mutiny?"

"Incompetence is a sin. Today you just wanted to take a fancy to Nafania. What if someone wants her life next time?" Delphine smiled slightly, "Young people can grow up as soon as possible if they suffer more. .”

"Among the eight great dukes, Nafanaya has the lowest territory and military power. Only through the authority of the temple can he check and balance other families. Now that the temple is declining, the Nafanaya family... urgently needs changes."

"Your appearance gave me hope for this new path."

"What's more, to calm down the chaos in the family, you will probably need the help of your subordinate Yurikus."

Shen Mian said silently: "We need outsiders to put things right, right? What a mess your house is now."

The situation was so chaotic, but Ms. De still took the time to take care of her biological father and husband, and even arranged for her daughter to have a son-in-law who died soon after they entered the house. She was really full of moral integrity and energy.

"Then may I take offense to think that His Highness accepted Nafanea's surrender?"

Shen Mian put on the carefully practiced eyes of a protagonist with deep hatred and bitterness, and nodded calmly.

it is more than words.

Alliance reached.

Ms. De was in a good mood: "So, does Your Highness need a token that can prove Nafanaya's sincerity?"

Shen Mian thought to himself: It must be evidence of an accomplice who failed in his rebellion and was caught. Neither of us can escape.

Just as she was about to agree, a question suddenly crossed her mind.

"I'm curious," Shen Mian asked directly, "It may be a little offensive, but why does the old Duke insist on giving power to his son-in-law? The old Duke is not stupid, so how can gender discrimination overwhelm blood relations? "

Delphine's expression was calm: "Because besides gender, I also have a weakness that is difficult to erase."

"My father is a strong believer in potential elitism. In his eyes, only those with high potentials are considered human beings, those with low potentials are disabled people, and ordinary people with no special abilities are humanoid animals."

"Unfortunately, I am an accident of probability. Two SSSs, etc., can actually give birth to a D-level superpower like me."

"An ordinary daughter can just be sent away and married off casually."

"Unfortunately, I am still his only heir. How can I not make him feel ashamed?"

Shen Mian raised his eyebrows slightly: "What type of superpower do you have?"

"[Seventh Method] Psychological Control, you seem to be uneasy? Don't feel sorry for me, it's all over."

Delphine calmly changed the topic: "What kind of token do you like? Is it the legion's command light key, or Nafanea's seal..."

"Ms. De," Shen Mian took Delphine's hand and held it in front of her, extremely sincere and shy, "I like...ah...I need you!"

……

after awhile.

The two of them walked out of Shen Mian's bedroom one after another and came to the public living room.

There were no lights on in the living room, it was dark.

Delphine wore the black veil naturally.

She might have to wear mourning clothes for her defeated generals for a long time to come.

"Then, I will go back. Your Highness, please take care of yourself."

Shen Mian was stunned: "Aren't you going to see Grace? She may need your comfort now."

Delphine looked confused.

Suddenly, Ms. De turned around and faced Shen Mian face to face. Under Shen Mian's doubtful eyes, she gently kissed her cheek.

Shen Mian:...? !

Delphine's voice echoed in the quiet living room: "I wish you were my daughter."

Shen Mianggang wanted to take pleasure in his suffering and said, "It's not good to take advantage of me."

Besides, although Grace is a little naive, she grows up to be a good child.

She took a quick, awkward look around the living room.

The next second, she paused.

Grace's bedroom door was ajar, and in the slightly open crack was the hem of her blue nightgown.

In other words, Grace witnessed the entire process.
