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

"Isn't it too late for you to complain about not inheriting the title of Britannia?" Marianne claimed that she was not an idiot, at least she was sure that her intelligence was higher than that of Henry, so the Grand Duke Aquique mentioned At this point, she guessed the real intention of her mother: "My aunt will die in childbirth."

The Grand Duchess Aquique noticed that her daughter used an affirmative sentence, so she evoked a slightly sarcastic smile of relief: "Do you think Richard of Solins will let her survive? He even waited for you to grow up to do it." No, let alone my sister's life or death."

Mariana was not surprised, because she knew Richard was a ruthless person, but...

Taking another look at the expression of Grand Duchess Aquiquie, Mariana always felt that this matter was far from as simple as she thought: "Is it just my aunt who died in the delivery room alone?"

Grand Duchess Aquique was observing her daughter's expression while Mariana was looking at her: "What do you think?"

Both mother and daughter have the same green eyes, only the Grand Duchess Aquique's eyes are cloudier in the shadow of the bookcase: "Richard certainly wants to keep his mother and son, but others don't necessarily think so."

The Grand Duchess Aquique knew very well that those careerists who climbed up were already ready to trample on ethics and morality.Especially in the case of a fixed number of noble titles, a dukedom, and a dukedom no less than the grand duke, is enough to make quite a few people crazy about it.

"I know what those people are thinking. After all, before Lucius was born, I was also a coveted title pass." The Grand Duke Aquiqui felt sorry for the Duchess of Brittany for a second because of blood relationship. , but soon, this regret was replaced by her worry about the future of the family: "If only my sister died on the delivery bed, then Richard could completely annex Britannia through the regency, but if one Two corpses."

The Grand Duchess Aquique intentionally paused: "If the Duchess of Brittania dies on the delivery bed, who will be the biggest beneficiary?"

"It won't be us anyway." Mariana knew that their family was a potential successor to the title of Britannia, but Richard of Solins, and even those Britannia who wanted to take the title of Duke The nobles will not allow members of the royal family of the Grand Duchy of Aquique to easily get what they want: "If the aunt really dies twice, then in the best case, you will inherit the Duke of Britannia, and in the worst case The situation is that the various forces are directly at war for the ownership of Brittania."

Mariana snapped her fingers and listed the countries that might launch a war over the ownership of Britannia: "Solins will definitely not let it go, and Obsta and Cantero, and even the countries in the east and west farther away And the northern countries, it is also possible to intervene."

After all, it is for the benefit of the country, so no matter what kind of low-handed methods are used, it can be crowned with righteousness.

However, facing Mariana's answer, Grand Duchess Aquique unexpectedly vetoed it: "You forgot that there is a biggest variable in this matter."

"My pre-engagement contract with Richard?" was all Mariana could think of.

"No, it's the Pope." An elusive expression appeared on the face of the Grand Duchess Aquique: "You think I made Lucius the head of the Templar Knights for his future and your future?"

The Grand Duchess Aquique even lit a cigarette for herself, which made Mariana feel that she was laughing at herself.

"The pope's old fox who eats public and saves private is the most predictable factor." The Grand Duchess Aquique exhaled a puff of smoke, staring at Mariana's gradually cloudy green eyes through the hazy atmosphere: "In his opinion, It is in his best interest for you to inherit the Duchy of Brittania."

"If there is a multi-national stalemate after the death of the Duchess of Brittania, then the best situation is to use the pre-engagement treaty between you and Richard as an excuse to let you pass over me and Henry to inherit Brittany. Principality of Litania."

Speaking of this, the Grand Duchess Aquique seemed to be considerate: "I think you know why."

"Tsk!" Mariana said impatiently, "This is really the most irritating news I've heard recently."

…………… I am the dividing line……………

"Have you finished chatting with your mother?" Mariana met Lucius who had been waiting for a long time as soon as she stepped out of the study door of Grand Duchess Aquique.

The two brothers and sisters looked at each other, and they could see the unhappiness they tried to hide from each other's faces.

"I came out of the study, so I must have finished talking with my mother." Mariana walked to Lucius and motioned him to make room for herself on the window sill.

"Be careful." Lucius stretched out his hand to support Mariana's back, preventing her from accidentally falling from the window: "What did you talk about with your mother?"

"It's just a commonplace question." Mariana didn't want Lucius to know about the power disputes behind the Principality of Brittania, so she subconsciously changed the subject and said, "You persuaded Innes to go back?"

"Actually, I didn't persuade her to go back." Lucius turned sideways and put one leg directly behind Mariana: "You also know that no one in the Grand Duchy of Aquique likes her, and Earl Calda is not here. Here, so Innes can only go home in a self-defeating manner."

For Obsta's relatives, after the death of her grandparents, Mariana's only favorite is her second uncle Felipe, who joined the priesthood and came out publicly.It's a pity that the Grand Duchess Akikui couldn't get along with her husband's two brothers, so Mariana didn't dare to go to her second uncle when she was a child, so she could only contact him secretly.

However, apart from Mariana, among Philippe's relatives, Lucius is the only one who doesn't hold too much prejudice against him.

After all, not everyone has the courage to face the risk of being expelled from the church and the royal family when they were young, scolded their eldest brother and parents at the wedding ceremony of King Obsta, and then came out publicly.

In the words of modern people, Felipe is a typical example of "bringing a filial son" and "respecting brothers and sisters".

However, in the eyes of the Grand Duchess Aquique, who disliked him, this nominal brother had at least more backbone than Count Calda, and more moral sense than King Obusta.

After all, Felipe will not ask the people around him to clean up the mess for him in the name of "true love". He even chooses to become a "banished" in order not to disappoint his homosexuals, or to delay the life of an innocent woman. Clergy.

In terms of character and ability, Felipe is enough to be the Patriarch of Obsta.It's a pity that his "crazy" behavior more than ten years ago terminated all his career development.Even his ability to retain the status of a regional bishop in the church is the result of the hard work of Queen Mary and the Grand Duchess of Aquique.

Innes has always dismissed such relatives who cannot bring benefits and value.

And Lucius' answer proved this point even more: "If nothing else happens, Innes will be given up by King Obsta."

"... What news did you hear again?" Mariana knew that Lucius had a channel to get some inside news from Obstar because of his paternal blood.

Especially after Obsta's two princes showed signs of taking Lucius under his command, it was not easy for Mariana's half-brother to collect Obsta's internal information.

"In terms of compensation for your divorce, Odin's little emperor didn't suffer." Lucius said without emotion: "After you bit the poisonous snake, you directly got half of it back from King Obstar." .”

"When you got engaged, my lord mother gave out a city as a dowry, but when Innes got engaged to Odin's little emperor, it seemed like a white wolf with empty hands."
