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

Mariana would always wake up in the middle of the night, because in the high-pressure environment of the palace, it is difficult to solve the physical pain with luxurious food and soft fabrics, let alone relieve the fragile nerves that are 100 million times more delicate than the body.

Just like the half-orc tribe artificially screened out disabled children and children with poor physical fitness, in the society where Mariana lived, some invisible hands strangled to death the nobles who collapsed under pressure or temptation.

Especially those potential successors who rushed to the game.

Marianne rubbed her stiff neck, imagining that if it was pushed down on the wood, it would be so slender against the dark wood that it would be difficult for executioners to touch.

"Maybe I should pray for Richard's mercy." Mariana could easily touch the contours of the cervical spine through the thin nape of her neck.

"Maybe a non-existent god will accept my soul." After getting up, Mariana washed her face and decided to go for a walk in the garden.

"Have you still not gotten rid of the habit of waking up in the middle of the night?"

When Marianne came to the garden, a guest had already taken the best seat.

Lucius wasn't walking around the garden in his pajamas and cloak like Marianna, but he wasn't looking dignified either.At least if the Grand Duchess Aquique saw Lucius appearing in public with her hair covered and neck open, she would definitely throw her eldest son into the dungeon to calm down.

Mariana sat across from Lucius, watching the other party slowly tear apart a flower that was not very delicate: "What is the difference between you and those little girls who are just in love?"

Marianne, who used her cloak to cushion the cold seat, did not forget to cover her knees, after all, she did not want to suffer from joint disease at a young age.

"What are you divination?" Mariana looked at Lucius, who was leaning forward with his forearm pressed against his thigh.

Under the gaze of his younger sister, the latter raised a pair of rebellious golden eyes, and his face was cut into a veiled demon by the metal flowers wrapped around the dome of the gazebo.

"Those witches who wander in the dark forest always use flowers for divination." Mariana leaned back on the uncomfortable chair, showing a contemptuous attitude that was completely opposite to Lucius: "It's not because they are so romantic , but a man-made product of divination, which is always inferior to those god-given things that are readily available."

Mariana tried not to feel the cold: "What do you think about this?"

"What's there to look at?" Lucius threw away the flowers in his hand and let the blood-red juice seep into his fingers: "I'm not a witch, so I don't care about their divination methods, I only care about whether they can give accurate readings." higher rate predictions.”

"This is what the man in our family should answer." Mariana seemed to see something from Lucius' face, and in the slightly surprised expression of the other party, she said meaningfully: "No one will care about your self-pity. .”

Speaking of which, Mariana also followed Lucius's example and leaned forward, almost nose-to-nose with her half-brother, both of whom could feel each other's breath.

"You can cry here." Mariana said softly: "But when the sun rises tomorrow, you will still be the head of the Knights of the Grand Duchy of Aquique and the future leader of the Templars."

"Then do you care about my complaint?" Lucius' hair fell from one side, gently brushing his superior collarbone.

"Perhaps!" Mariana put her hands on her knees, leaned against the back of the gazebo chair again, and resumed her previous lazy posture: "But complaining is not the solution to the problem."

"Especially when it comes to the future." Mariana knew what Lucius was worrying about, and knew better how she could solve the problem for Lucius: "Lucius of the Grand Duchy of Aquiqui is not a weak man with low self-esteem."

Mariana's voice was firmer than Lucius's, and at the same time eased the gloomy look on Lucius' face.

"Do you think the cardinals in the south are really willing to support me to become the head of the Knights Templar?" After hesitating for a while, Lucius still revealed the problem in his heart: "They don't like people who are deviant."

"So what?" Mariana felt that Lucius was still quite similar to Henry in some respects, they were both the kind of people who were so inferior that they were extremely proud. As for Mariana...

Recalling her weak chicken physique and the lucky value in quantum mechanics, Mariana no longer wanted to worry about the feeling of inferiority.

Of course, she doesn't have the capital to be extremely proud.

"If the cardinal doesn't support you as the head of the Knights Templar, then I will let him step down immediately." Mariana was startled by her own voice.

Even Lucius didn't expect his sister to put aside such cruel words for him.

"Can you get the cardinal to step down?" Lucius was suddenly a little dumbfounded, and he wasn't even that nervous.

"Who knows!" Marianna, who was about to go back to her room, remembered the news revealed by Midaline, and felt that the cooperation partner should not be limited to the cardinal.

Like Maidaline who cast her net wide.

Lucius sat for a while after Mariana left, then went back to his room to catch up on sleep.

And Mariana slept deeply in the second half of the night, and was not woken up as easily as in the first half of the night.

…………… I am the dividing line……………

The doctor who was willing to be a social animal lacked a sense of rest before he became a human being, and after he started to study black magic, he became even worse on the road of staying up late, and he never returned.

At least when Marianne found him, a thin layer of dust had accumulated on the bed that the doctor placed in the research room, and the floor was so messy that there was nowhere to settle.

"You'd better clean up this place before I come." Mariana used a thing that wasn't just a cane or a steel rod to gently push away the debris in front of her, and then found a piece with four legs still in it. chair to sit down.

"Do you need me to pour you a cup of tea?" The doctor ruffled his messy hair, and took out a beaker with a scale that was almost worn out from the desk.

"Forget it, I still don't want to know what was in the cup you found for me." Mariana knew that this person was not generally informal, so she never ate anything at the doctor's place.

The doctor who got the answer didn't expect Mariana to accept his kindness, so he took some unknown liquid with a beaker, then grabbed a handful of herbs from the shelf, ground them into powder, and added them to the beaker.

"If you continue to work so hard, you will die suddenly." Mariana noticed that the doctor's herbal medicine had increased again: "Is there anything wrong with those elves? I hope the little emperor of Odin didn't stuff some strange things in their heads." .”

"Why, are you distressed?" The doctor who drank the strange drink teased: "If you feel distressed, you can take them away immediately."

Mariana played with the small sharp weapon she picked up casually, letting the light of the knife cast a pale shadow on her face: "Do you think I will feel bad?"

The Doctor's human violet pupils reflected Mariana's face.It seems that since they met, he couldn't see through this lying woman. After all, no normal person would ask his uncle for a death row prisoner as his birthday present.

"The way you stared at me made me think that you were immersed in my beauty." Mariana's voice pulled back the doctor's thoughts: "Don't think about it, it is impossible for me and you."

After Mariana finished speaking, the doctor's prosthetic eyes blinked twice, and then showed a contemptuous expression: "I'm not interested in ordinary women."

Glancing at Marianna's not-so-glamorous face, the doctor suddenly thought of Bai Xue who was bought by her.

"Give up! In terms of beauty, you can't beat Snow White." The doctor threw the beaker into the sink, and motioned for Abigail, who came with her, to make room.

"I remember that the entrance to the secret passage should be here." The doctor squatted down and groped on the ground for 5 minutes before finding the entrance to the secret passage.

"Don't you even remember where the entrance to the secret passage is?" Abigail didn't want to complain about this man who was so strange in appearance, words and deeds.

The latter looked Abigail up and down with the eyes of a fool, and then said unceremoniously: "As a witch, should you retain the virtue of being vigilant and neurotic?"

"Huh?" Abigail tilted her head inexplicably.

The doctor sighed and explained patiently: "Have you heard of anti-theft magic and maze magic? Melee rookies like witches and necromancers who like to go alone will always confuse assassins at their base camp and delay Anti-theft magic and labyrinth magic that have broken through time."

After all, the doctor pointed at Marianne to let Abigail know who caused him to do so.

"One of the elves brought back by her is a drow who specializes in assassins." The doctor was on the hunting list in the dark forest before he was thrown into prison by Obstar's team of adventurers.And the drow elves, known for their assassinations, were undoubtedly the object of his frequent dealings during that time.

"Although Oster has two layers of marks on his body and an explosive collar, just to be on the safe side, I can't let him know where the entrance to the secret passage is." The doctor who opened the secret passage door motioned for Marianna and Abigail to follow.

However, the latter did not act immediately, but after the doctor half-length entered the secret passage, he squatted down and said with a smile: "Since you like Bai Xue so much, then do something for me tomorrow."

"...What's the matter?" The doctor didn't need to think about it to know that Mariana had no good intentions.

"A thing that breaks your heart." After confirming that the elves had not been tampered with, Marianna naturally turned her attention to the only Snow White who had not been "tested".

But she was worried about letting the doctor test Bai Xue, so she had to do it herself.

"You'll know when you go." Mariana pressed the doctor's way of thinking. "

"Although I don't care about people who look good, but in front of a woman, she is not as beautiful as another man."

Mariana laughed more and more falsely: "It's really hard for me to forgive you! Doctor."

A slender index finger slid across the doctor's throat through thin muscles, allowing the latter to experience the fear of the prey being dissected.

The doctor subconsciously raised his neck following Mariana's movement.

His silhouette is like a dying swan on the wall.

"Forget it, I forgive you this time."

"But next time, you won't be so lucky."
