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

"If you are worried, you can help me catch the falling jewels under the balcony where I was speaking." Mariana joked casually: "It cost you a lot of money to arrange those witches!"

"Isn't this nonsense?" Abigail said angrily when she thought of the savings that had been spent like running water: "The money spent on housekeeping is more than the money spent on buying clothes, supplies and wooden houses for them.

Although the witches did not stay in Obstar or Grand Duke Aquique's country, the dark forest abroad of Grand Duke Aquique was also a blessed place for many humanoids to survive.

Because of the interests of all countries, the Papal State has to turn a blind eye to the dark forest that separates the north from the south, so the humanoid species that can settle there will be better than those in other places even if they do not live to die. Longevity of the humanoid species.

But this rare comfort and "longevity" are also rewarded.

Since countries do not clearly regulate every move of the Adventurer's Guild and the city guards, in order to avoid unwarranted accusations against the tribesmen, the humanoid tribes living in this area will regularly give the Adventurer's Guild and city guards The city guards from all over the world handed over "filial piety".

Even if Abigail is Mariana's confidant, this convention cannot be avoided, so...

"I wrote down the people and organizations that need to be sorted out, do you want to have a look?" Abigail deliberately kept an eye out, and took this opportunity to hand over the small list she made to Mariana: "After you came to power, Better beat 'em up, I see those guards are fatter and duller than the chef in the inn."

"There's nothing I can do about it." Mariana scanned the small list that Abigail handed over, and was quite troubled by the dense names on it: "Young people have all gone to big cities to make a living, and the rest stayed behind. It's already hard to find a few members to go to see the city gate, what else do you need..."

Mariana originally wanted to say "bicycle", but considering that there is no such "high-tech" gadget in this world, she swallowed the words that rolled to her lips, and a lot of Taran appeared in her mind special.

"Yes." Mariana slapped the table subconsciously, almost breaking off the nail of her index finger: "Why didn't I think of that!"

Although it is a bit unrealistic to make a car in this world, bicycles are different. Things can be done with a few iron bars and chains, and there will never be any trouble.

Moreover, for ordinary people, the maintenance and rental fees of horse-drawn carts and ox carts are also a considerable expense. Those traders who make a small profit will always spend too much on this piece, resulting in a decrease in their income and consumption ability.

If bicycles and tricycles can be manufactured, then...

Mariana shook her head in front of the vanity mirror, and Lucian, who was combing her hair, couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Your Highness, it's hard for me to do this!"

Lucian held the jewels that should be adorned on Mariana's hair, and said helplessly, "You're shaking your head around like this, I really don't dare to put jewels on you."

What if she didn't control her strength well and directly poked Marianne's head, then...

"Loosen it, so that Abigail can pick up the leaks below." Mariana was in a good mood, but she still didn't forget to tease: "To prevent you from going to the kitchen to find food under my banner."

"..." Thanks to Abigail, Mariana's "big stomach" is so well-known that she often suffers from probing eyes in public.

"Forget it, didn't you say that the jewels are not easy to sell? Why don't you give them to me directly after I've picked them up!" Abigail tried not to roll her eyes at Mariana, and then exited Mariana's temporary room .

…………

……

Arenian did not stay in the room after being separated from the veteran, but tried to get in touch with his brothers to see if they could go and see what kind of virtue the new queen of Obsta was.

Thanks to the life of a mercenary, Arianian has now tolerated the sloppy people to the limit, and even after the veteran left, he could no longer restrain his killing intent.

"Calm down, your ability is not suitable for assassination." Someone who received the call for help suddenly appeared by Ariana's window, but was almost pushed down by Ariana at the moment he spoke.

"Be careful, don't hurt her." Arianian stretched out his hand to block the upper right corner of the comer and the window, as if protecting something, but as long as his eyes are a little better, he can see a big-bellied orb spider Netting in the upper right corner of the window.

"This is your family member?" The visitor simply sat on the window sill, watching the orb spider hurriedly repairing the big web that was scratched by him.

"If you hadn't caused trouble here, he would have grown into a proud appearance earlier." Ariana stretched out his hand to the orb spider, which immediately crawled onto the back of Ariana's hand very docilely. .

"My family will transport the prey caught in the evening to the center of the net to eat or store, and the prey caught in the daytime will be tied in place with spider silk." Arianain is very grateful that her family is not too delicate, And it's very prolific, making it a great eyeliner...or a killer.

"So you are going to use those humans to feed your dependents?" The visitor remembered that there was a field near the hotel.

Because the Obstars were a little afraid of the mercenaries from the north, and the garrison wanted to ensure the smooth progress of the coronation ceremony, so Arenian and some marginalized mercenaries could only find a remote hotel as a place to stay. land.

And this also gave Arenian an excellent environment to cultivate his dependents.

"I didn't come to ask you to do trivial things." Arianian put the orb spider aside, and then said to the visitor: "Help me investigate the new queen of Obsta. "

"Is there anything worth paying attention to about her?" The visitor felt quite strange: "The king worm didn't let us directly confront humans."

"The problem is that she recruited the desert witch." Arenian knew that the comer was not a member of the escort who took the route of a wise general, so he didn't have any expectations for him except for force: "Cicada originally wanted to fight against the Cantero people." I dug out the desert witch under my nose, but..."

Arianian thought of the current situation of the king worm, and felt that they were encircling and suppressing witches, as if they were playing a passing game.

"By the way, Bill asked me to remind you." The visitor seemed to have thought of something, and patted his stupefied head by the way: "Remember to capture the witch leader alive. Although what they did to the king worm made the worm angry, but never On the other hand, they are also qualified to be the nourishment of the king worm."

"I see." Ariana nodded, and decided to take the opportunity to sneak into Marianne's side, and then find a chance to take down the witch leader.

……… I am the dividing line……………

"Everyone, your arrival is like the laurel crown that makes the champions look forward to wearing it, and the god's cry that inspires the heroes to keep moving forward. I feel honored and ashamed at the same time."

Mariana knew that at her age, it was actually not suitable for her to say some big truths in public, or to use too written words.After all, her age is there, and most of the audience are ordinary people who are busy with life and have no luck to receive higher education, so Bishop Felipe changed the speech twice for Mariana, deleting nearly half of the content.

"Don't make too many polite remarks at the beginning, because no one is in the mood to listen to your long speech." Bishop Felipe pointed out: "The reason why those officials and nobles will listen to your nonsense is to extract useful information from it. But civilians are different."

Bishop Felipe was suppressed for more than ten years before the times turned around. In addition, he also funded many poor people, and he has always been close to the common people, so it is clear that those who came to see Mariana's speech What kind of reaction will the person make: "Their attention can only last for two or three 10 minutes, so you have to hit their moving point within these two or three 10 minutes, so that they are willing to support you, or Listen to your great plans and wishes."

Mariana agrees with Bishop Felipe's point of view, because she used to listen to leaders' speeches in this state.

and so……

"I'm sorry for what the previous king did and for the pain I inflicted on you." Playing the emotional card was the consensus between Mariana and Bishop Felipe, and she was wearing Queen Mary's old clothes again. , so after finishing the polite speech, he directly bowed to the civilians in the audience.

This move not only exceeded the expectations of the audience, but also shocked Bishop Felipe standing behind Mariana.After all, before this, there was no precedent for the ruler to apologize to the common people, not to mention that Mariana's posture was low enough, and she apologized to the common people in her first public speech after the coronation ceremony.

"Because of the treacherous ministers of the previous ruler, the glory of Obsta was damaged, and it also caused indescribable troubles to everyone present, so here, please allow me to represent the Dunawa family and Lorraine My family, I would like to express my deep apologies to everyone." This is the first time Mariana has a good impression of Uncle Zha, because as soon as this person comes out, anyone can have a good impression of Mariana, so as a living target and a blame man, it is really It couldn't be more appropriate.

As far as the nobles are concerned, it's okay to take the blame, but they can't just let them take the blame, otherwise, what face will they have as local rulers?

Therefore, Mariana's words are very appropriate, so that both the nobles and the common people can't make mistakes. It can be said that while giving face to both sides, it also preserves the face of both.

However, for the nobles, the emperor's apology to the mud legs still made them a little unhappy.

It's just that Mariana didn't blame them all for the Obstar Rebellion, so she couldn't find anything to blame for a while.

But will Mariana really let them go?

"The night is gone, but the dim stars have not yet regained their brightness." Mariana swept across the audience and said in an inspiring tone: "I will guard our kingdom until the end of my life."
