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

"Even if it is an empty-handed white wolf, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer." Mariana said disapprovingly: "As long as Odin's little emperor waits patiently for a few years, the whole Obsta is his, why bother?" A small city."

Mariana simply used Lucius' knee as the armrest of the chair, causing the latter to almost jump from the window sill: "The game of power is not only about strength, but also about living longer."

To put it bluntly, if Mariana and Lucius' grandfather can survive until today, the Principality of Brittania may not be able to take advantage of Richard's first accession to the throne to force the young King of Solins to agree to Bretania. Tania's independence.

"The question is, can Odin's little emperor afford to wait?" Lucius was very skeptical: "King Obstar's health is not bad, it doesn't matter who survives!"

"But what does that have to do with us?" Mariana said meaningfully: "Both sides are not stupid. The question is whether Aquikwe can remain invincible in the game between the two countries."

Lucius always felt that Mariana didn't behave like a human being, but he felt that only her character could get along like a fish in water in this twisted society.

"I've always wanted to ask you a question." Lucius suddenly changed the subject and said, "When did the conflict between you and Henry start?"

"intrinsic."

"Tell the truth." Lucius directly overturned Mariana's lie: "Henry is not stupid enough to harass someone who has no conflict of interest with him. Don't think I'm blind, I can't see that Henry hates you more hate me."

Although Mariana is the legitimate child of the Grand Duchess Aquique, she is no match for Lucius in terms of competitiveness.

Not only in terms of competitiveness in the power framework, but also in personal ability, Mariana couldn't keep up with Lucius, so when he was a child, Henry was more keen on letting Lucius, who had already started the life of a page boy, than paying attention to his toddler sister. deflated.

Mariana thought briefly about whether to tell Lucius the truth, and asked, "You really want to know the reason?"

"...It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it." Lucius also knew that he had no reason to persecute Mariana, but he still felt that Mariana didn't tell him the truth because she didn't treat him as her own.

Perhaps it was Lucius' emotional leakage that made Mariana feel a sense of crisis reflexively, so that she didn't even think about the consequences of telling the truth, so she revealed half of the inside story: "Do you remember when we were young, Henry lived in Brittany?" After Nia’s envoy came, was she locked up in the dungeon by my lord mother?”

"What you mean is that Henry has an interest conflict with you on the Britannia issue." Lucius is not an idiot either, and besides, the health condition of the Duchess of Brittania is well known, but in the upper class There are no secrets in society.Even after the birth of Prince Henry, the Grand Duchess of Aquique was poised to become the heir to Brittania.

And combined with the fact that Mariana was engaged to Richard of Solins and then repented of her marriage, and later married the Duchess of Brittania, Lucius could guess what happened here, so he couldn't help but use sympathetic words. Looking at Mariana made the latter feel very interesting.

"Why, are you trying to get me back?" Mariana teased, "There is a price for sympathy."

Marianne pressed her skirt, and jumped off the window sill with Lucius' support: "Don't show your sympathy to others casually."

"why?"

"Because in this world there are not only the weak and the strong, but also the weak and the strong."

Lucius stared at Mariana's back, and he didn't leave the window sill until there was a movement in the study of the Grand Duchess Aquique.

…………… I am the dividing line………

"Someone just came to ask you what to do with those slaves."

When Mariana returned to her room, she found Abigail sprawled on her bed, even setting a silver plate full of pastries on top of the expensive silks.

Seeing Mariana coming back, Abigail did not get off the bed, but raised her glass very politely, and extended a depraved invitation to Mariana: "Would you like a drink?"

"You're really rude to me." Mariana lifted her skirt and climbed to Abigail's side, directly occupying the other's cushions and pastries.

"Pour me a glass of juice anyway!" Mariana reached for a glass from the bedside table, signaling Abigail not to forget her duty.

"Where are those slaves locked up now?" Mariana didn't like sweet and greasy snacks, so she took half a mouthful and put it down: "If you didn't remind me, they would probably rot to death in ten days and a half months." Where...where?"

"Dungeon." After all, Abigail is Mariana's personal maid, so she didn't slack off to the point of not being ignorant of her job: "Because of your brother, there is no room in the servant's room for the time being."

"Huh? Henry hasn't gone bankrupt yet?" Mariana said in surprise, "At the rate at which he earns money, even if it takes another 1 years, it won't be able to match the rate at which he spends money."

"So your brother married a good wife." Abigail said vaguely: "The side branch princess of Solins is the only one I have ever seen who can rival you in posturing. Except for Henry, Aquique There is basically no one in the court who doesn't like her."

"Including my mother and Lucius?"

"I don't know about that." Abigail was barely a simple witch.In other words, a creature like a witch, after lingering with the crucible to death, is rarely able to separate the energy of playing tricks on people: "In my opinion, as long as it is an existence that can live in peace, it can be regarded as a 'like'."

"Then your liking range is wider than the sea." Marianna complained: "As your employer, I guess it's your 'favorite' person."

"Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with your words." Abigail reluctantly affirmed Mariana's complaint, and then brought the conversation back to the topic: "What are you going to do with those slaves? After all, it is a huge amount of nearly 300 million 'Property', you won't let them rot in a dungeon!"

"But I won't foolishly arrange them directly by my side." Even if Mariana put a magic spell on them, she would not relax her vigilance against the slaves.

Especially among the things she bought were drow, half-blood gray elves, and existences whose bloodlines were so messed up that their brains went wrong.

Seeing that Marianne didn't speak for a long time, Abigail suggested: "Why don't you go to the dungeon to see them. Anyway, there are guards and sacred marks there, even if Ned Hogg is alive, it is difficult to find some troubles. "
