[West Fantasy] The noble lady who was divorced became rich

Mariana had long been prepared that King Obstar would not let go easily. In fact, until King Obstar closed his eyes, Mariana could not sit on the throne with peace of mind.If it wasn't for Lucius' feelings, maybe Mariana would have resolved everything neatly, or silenced Obsta before he abdicated, and then ordered the Keeper of the Seal to speak instead of the king.

"Uncle, I know that you are reluctant to give up the throne. After all, you have held the throne for so many years. You can't just let it go. But if you don't let it go, who do you want to inherit the throne? And who do you want to assist you?" "It's all come to this point, Mariana naturally doesn't need to hide it: "Or...the members of the Imperial Council and I are all tools you use to clean up the mess?"

"Their duty is to serve the king."

"Then what is my duty?" Mariana was waiting for King Obstar's words: "What are the duties of Your Excellency Lucius and Thomas Fitzroy?"

"..."

Faced with Mariana's doubts, King Obstar could never say "Yes, I will treat you as a tool to clean up the mess", or "Yes, I just want my child to inherit the throne." Wait for the truth.

What's more, although King Obstar couldn't tell who was present at a glance, he was very familiar with them.It would not be an exaggeration to say that these people were there for show, or that they were "professional actors" hired by Mariana.

"Can we continue?" Marianna, who had repulsed King Obstar in a few words, felt very bored, so she looked at the Keeper of the Seal who dared not step forward: "Do you have anything to add?"

The Lord Keeper of the Seal's facial features seemed to be compressed by stones, covering half of his face in the shadow, and staring at a pair of eyeballs without double eyelids, moving back and forth between King Obstar and Marianne .

Now that things have happened, Marianne is too lazy to pull off those gentle and courteous masks. She knows that it is impossible for King Obusta to step down peacefully, so she said directly: "Uncle, too. If there is anything else, Say it all together!"

King Obstar was once again irritated by Marianne's words, and even turned pale from holding back. He subconsciously held his heart with his right hand, trying not to let himself pass out.Faced with Marianna's kind proposal, King Obstar certainly had something to say, and there were also piles of complaints that he had to vomit.

If he did fall into Marianna's trap and say something that was misleading or annoying, it would be...

"puff……"

In a daze, King Obstar seemed to see the figure of the Grand Duchess Aquique, and he still remembered that more than 20 years ago, he also said such a sentence to the bewildered Grand Duchess Aquique in front of his parents.

"If you have other complaints, tell them all too!"

Time has passed, and King Obusta can no longer remember exactly what the Grand Duchess Aquique said at that time. He just looked at Marianne in front of him, and he had to believe the old saying that good fortune tricks people.

"Pfft... pfft..."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, King Obstar spit out a mouthful of blood, pointed at Marianna who was seated, and almost choked out a few words with his last anger: "You, very good, very good."

Mariana raised her right hand, revealing the emerald ring on her index finger, and pushed a lock of hair back.

【That's Thomas Fitzroy's ring?How could it be in the hands of Mariana? 】

Even though he was half-dead by his niece, King Obstar could still tell that the ring on Marianne's hand was a "returning" thing he specially ordered for Thomas Fitzroy, and to a certain extent, it was Thomas Fitzroy's ring. . Fitzroy's token.

[Could it be, could it be? 】

The fearful King Obstar looked at Marianna, only to see that the latter still had the same false appearance, but when he lowered his hand, he made a throat-cutting gesture with the index finger of his left hand on the tip of the index finger of his right hand, King Obstar instantly understood what Mariana meant.

This niece, who had fallen out with him a long time ago, would not care about Thomas Fitzroy's life or death.

As for Lucius...

For some reason, King Obstar recalled the Grand Duchess Aquique back then, and smiled wryly.

[Is this your revenge on me?isabella. 】

Feeling the undeclared anger and powerlessness in his chest, King Obstar slowly closed his eyes, allowing a group of servants armed to the teeth to carry him out of the banquet hall.

"It's all over." Mariana didn't make an incomprehensible comment until the whispering nobles left completely.

She didn't look happy or angry.

Instead, he stood in the empty banquet hall and took a long breath. Then, under some kind of guidance, he walked towards the throne bit by bit, reaching out and stroking the unexquisite carvings.

"Do you like it? Is this a symbol of power?"

Lucius appeared behind Mariana at some point, and his eyes fell on Mariana's hand stroking the carving: "Don't you want to sit on it and try it?"

"This is not a real throne, and there is nothing special about sitting on it." Mariana withdrew her hand from stroking the statue, and wrote lightly: "Even if it is a throne, it is just an exquisite chair with symbolic meaning."

"But you have a special liking for this chair." Lucius stepped forward to the side of the throne, just a seat away from Mariana: "How many people have stepped on the mountain of corpses in the sea of ​​blood just for this chair. "

Lucius pressed the back of the chair, followed the patterns on it, and gradually moved his eyes to Marianne's face: "If you are not for this chair, then what is it for?"

"Revenge? Or self-satisfaction."

"It's not something you should know.

Mariana didn't look at Lucius' expression, because she didn't know what she came here for.

At first, it was just to avoid being liquidated by Henry, but gradually, Mariana seemed to be burdened with too many people's expectations.

No matter what she knew or what she didn't know, they all turned into pairs of invisible hands, pushing Mariana to stretch forward.

"It seems that I haven't done anything to make me happy so far." Mariana sighed, and finally met Lucius' eyes: "Up to this day, all I can feel is the relief after winning , mixed with a love-hate relationship with power."

It is a very sweet and very terrible power to be in charge of life and death. "Marianne gradually clenched her hand on the throne, as if she was trying to grasp something: "To be honest, I did experience the beauty of power when I was in the Principality of Brittania, especially the Britannia. When all the important figures in Tania stepped under their feet, the pleasure was even more indescribable.It seems that every time I cut off a human head, I am one step closer to the gods.It's really scary, so scary that I sometimes see people who are running for their lives and can't empathize with them anymore.Because in my eyes, those nobles who dominate the common people are nothing but defeated by me, so..."

Before Mariana could finish her sentence, she was pressed down by a force in her soft chest.

Lucius' embrace was not warm, even the lines on the breastplate made Mariana's face hurt, but there was a reassuring force in him.

"..." It's not like Marianne hasn't been hugged by Lucius before.Because when she was a child, like Lucius, she was crazily targeted by Henry.I remember one time when Henry took advantage of the absence of the Grand Duchess Aquique and Count Calda, he sent a dog to bite Mariana, forcing the latter to climb a tree, and then laughed for a long time below.

"Okay, you are like a monkey, stay in the tree until your mother comes back!" Henry, who had had enough laughing, took the vicious dog and walked away braggingly, and by the way, he asked his attendants to forcibly wrest Marianne's maid away. He also warned the aggrieved maids: "Anyone who dares to save her will have trouble with me."

Although the maids were afraid of Henry's vicious words, they also knew that if something happened to Mariana, they would not be able to escape the punishment of Grand Duchess Aquique, so they secretly rescued Mariana after Henry was distracted.

It's a pity that before the maids started their actions, Lucius rushed to the tree first, then opened his hand to Mariana, and shouted: "You jump down, I will catch you as much as possible."

Compared with his younger siblings, although Lucius, who has entered puberty, is immature in appearance, he is still more powerful than his peers under the training of the servant boy.

However, Mariana is someone who has experienced it, and she knows how scary people are under the acceleration of gravity.Even a little girl would be as heavy as a rock, so she hesitated on the tree for a long time, until she couldn't hold on anymore, and then fell into Lucius' arms.

"Look! I will definitely catch you." Lucius, who was so painful that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, smiled at Marianne with "there is still energy left".However, his acting skills were really bad, so Mariana still felt Lucius' powerlessness from the trembling of his arms.

…………

……

"Remember what happened when we were young?" Lucius hugged Mariana, resting his chin on the top of his sister's head: "If you fall off the altar one day, I will try my best to catch you."

"Then what if I collapse on the altar?" Mariana still hugged Lucius' waist after a brief hesitation.

"Then leave the sin to me!" Lucius still pretended to be relaxed like he was when he was a child: "Anyway, I have degenerated like this, and it's not bad for your sin."

Speaking of this, Lucius' voice suddenly became serious, even with a hint of pity: "Marianna, if the gods have mercy on me, I hope I can die before you."

"Why do you say such unlucky words?"

"Because you are more cowardly than I think. And if I die before you, at least I can help you find your way in hell, and then share some of your sins with Death."
