Succubus' Manor

Chi Yan accompanied Dean Sheng to stroll around the garden all afternoon and listened to him talking a lot.

At some point, Chi Yan was really moved by him, and almost really thought that the Holy Academy was a glorious and great self-sacrificing organization, but when he returned to the hotel at night, he found out what a cunning person the Holy Academy was.

"He keeps changing the subject." Chi Yan sat on the chair with a little confusion on his face, "He played the emotional card with me."

Kleist was looking at the map left by Juster, and then refined it according to his memory. After hearing Chi Yan's words, he asked without raising his head: "What did he say?"

Chi Yan raised his head: "It is not easy to say that the Holy Court restricts the royal power in order to protect the common people. It probably means that there are too many people in the Holy Court, and there must be a bad apple among them, but the starting point of the Holy Court and most of the people are still good. .”

Chi Yan touched the back of his head: "I was almost moved by his words."

Kleist: "If the royal family comes to you, that's another way of saying it."

Chi Yan: "Royal power and divine power..."

Kleist put down the map in his hand, walked to Chi Yan's side, and gently rubbed Chi Yan's head: "What's wrong?"

Chi Yan: "Actually, Dean Sheng said a lot. It is a terrible thing for any power to be concentrated in the hands of one person without restriction."

Didn't Qin Shihuang make mistakes in the end when he swept across the world and unified Liuhe?That mistake ruined the painstaking efforts of several generations of kings of Qin.

Qin II died, isn't it because he pursued longevity in his old age and ignored his successor, resulting in a mess in the internal affairs, and finally ruined his great career?

Kleist: "What do you think?"

Chi Yan hugged Kleist's waist: "I think... let's take a step and see. I can't guarantee anything now. Maybe I can think of a way when I sit in that seat."

Kleist: "The royal family has sent someone here."

Chi Yan cheered up: "Where is the man?"

Kleist: "You are not here today, he said he will visit again tomorrow."

Chi Yan touched his chin: "I'm afraid it's not a nobleman, it should be the queen's confidant."

He smiled: "The queen... I'm afraid she doesn't trust nobles."

The nobles seem to rely on the royal power, but with the decline of the royal family, they will naturally no longer be loyal to the royal family.

The royal family and nobles depend on each other and compete with each other, one ebbs and another.

Early the next morning, Chi Yan met the people sent by the royal family.

It was a young man, unlike the Holy Court, the other party did not come to play the emotional card.

The young man's name was Carter. He was an official of the royal family, not a nobleman, so his posture was very low when facing Chi Yan.

The other party came to lure him.

The general idea is that as long as Chi Yan is willing to join forces with the royal family and lock up all the people in the Holy Court on the Holy Spirit Day, the queen will give him the title of duke after the matter is completed, and let him decide his territory completely. The royal family never interfered.

Carter also said: "After the queen heard about you, she admired you very much."

Carter: "The queen is a woman after all, and she will always need a man."

He was hinting at Chi Yan, which is no longer a hint, but an explicit indication.

"If you want, I can take you to see the queen tonight." Carter smiled ambiguously at Chi Yan.

Chi Yan rejected him righteously, but he didn't say anything dead, he only said that he would visit the queen if he had the chance.

After the person left, Chi Yan turned around in his heart.

The queen is not stupid. To be precise, in this game, she took out more chips than the Holy Court, including herself.

Chi Yan didn't believe that the queen "loved" him.

She was just trying to win him over with sexual relations and power.

Think about it, if Chi Yan was really a mindless careerist, he would never reject the queen.

Becoming the queen's lover can also obtain the title of duke, and if the queen gives birth to his child, as long as he is powerful enough, his child can become the next king, and as the king's father, he is the real uncrowned king .

But the problem is, Chi Yan is not going to use himself as a bargaining chip.

It doesn't feel like the queen would actually do that either - she wants to be king herself.

Kleist: "Are you going to see her?"

Chi Yan: "It's not the time yet, it will take a while, I just don't know how Just is doing now."

Just now follows the maid, acting as a handsome and considerate walking boss. Because of the maid, he has become acquainted with many people. After all, the maid is the queen's personal maid, and she is also very respectable in the palace. Well, there are many people who fawn on her. She has a lover who is the Duke's son.

Just now visits the house during the day and serves the maid at night.

The maid is not a particularly cautious person, and it may be because the queen did not let her get in touch with too many secrets, so when the two talked about love at night, Juster got a lot of words out of the maid.

For example, the king never appears in front of people.

Another example is the queen's two children, who have been hidden by the queen.

Another example is that the nobles are now putting pressure on the queen.

"Why aren't they satisfied?" The maid said with excitement when talking about the nobles, "Isn't the Queen treating them badly? Don't they have enough? What do they want?"

Just comforted, "They won't be satisfied."

Maid: "Do they still want to be kings? That's impossible!"

Just: "Of course they don't want to be kings."

Just let the maid's head rest on his shoulder, tenderly: "They only need to suppress the queen, and no one will care about them in the future. They can do whatever they want, and even if they don't succeed, it's just a matter of time." It’s just being scolded by the queen and paying taxes for a few more years.”

The maid hated: "Those people are always bullying the queen, the queen should kill them all."

Just whispered, "I have a way."

Maid: "What way?"

She has completely trusted Just—after all, Just is a person who has no relatives or friends in the holy city. All he relies on is her, and she is also confident that Just will leave her. There is no second more powerful woman than her.

Just whispered in her ear: "As long as you let Her Lady Queen promote the second son of the nobleman."

The maid asked confusedly: "What's the use of that? Is it a child of a nobleman, the eldest son or the youngest son, is there any difference?"

Juster: "Of course, think about it, if you were the eldest son of a nobleman, you would have known from an early age that you would inherit the title, but at this time your younger brother is favored by the queen, and he may threaten your status. "

Maid: "How is that possible!"

Just coaxed: "Of course it is impossible to inherit, but the eldest son will doubt and fear, and people can do anything under fear."

"In this way, without the queen taking action, they will be in a mess themselves. At that time, they can only turn to the queen for help. The queen will have more loyal and available people."

The maid asked suspiciously, "Is this really useful?"

Just: "Try it and you'll know? If it works, the credit goes to you. Didn't you say that the queen is closer to a maid named Clark?"

The maid scolded: "That little bitch only knows how to seduce Her Royal Highness the Queen."

Just stroked her long hair gently: "As long as you prove to the queen that you are more useful than Clark, the queen will treat you better."

The maid asked: "You help me so much, what do you want?"

Just whispered: "What can a person like me expect? As long as you are always by my side, I will be satisfied."

The maid put her hand on Juster's chest, she pinched it, and then said, "Don't worry, as long as you remain like this."

Just bowed his head and kissed.

Early the next morning, the maid rushed to the castle. She walked through the long corridor and asked the male servant next to her, "Where is Your Highness?"

The male servant said in a low voice: "Just now some adults came, and Her Royal Highness got very angry."

The maid snorted: "Those people... those people, one day Her Majesty the Queen will call them pretty!"

The maid said again: "Go ahead, I'll see His Highness."

The valet backed away.

The maid stood at the door of the Queen's room. She knocked on the door and cleared her throat: "Your Highness, it's me."

The queen's voice was a little hoarse: "Come in."

The maid opened the door and entered the queen's room.

The queen was sitting on the soft chair, her eyes were full of anger, and she barely suppressed her anger when she saw the maid come in.

"I heard that you kept a little thing outside?" The queen smiled at the maid.

The maid was also very calm: "He is very well-behaved."

Queen: "That's good. If you don't like him anymore, I can send you two."

The maid smiled. Seeing that there was no one else in the room, she walked up to the queen, lowered her head and whispered, "Your Highness, are they looking for you again?"

The queen sighed wearily: "They are always like this. Greed is their common denominator."

Those nobles gathered together and wanted to take power from her.

Maid: "Your Highness, I have a solution."

The queen glanced at the maid, and asked not very energetically: "What way?"

She knows her maid too well, and she may be a good hand at intrigue with her servant, but when it comes to serious matters, she can just keep it out of the way, and there is absolutely no good way.

The maid told her what Juster had suggested to her.

"Your Highness, this way they can mess up themselves, and then you can choose the most loyal person from among them."

The queen's eyes drooped, and she smiled and said, "Did you come up with this?"

Maid: "...is my lover."

Queen: "Where is he from?"

The maid didn't dare to say that Just was from Stettin. She trusted Just, but that didn't mean the queen would trust him too—it wasn't because she loved Just so much, but because she was worried that the queen felt that she was also bought by Stettin. , and she said, "He's from Rose."

The Queen smiled and said, "Bring him to me tonight."

Maid: "...Yes."

The queen patted the back of the maid's hand: "If he is useful, I will credit you. If not, you can take him back."

The maid shivered involuntarily.
