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

"It's really back." When Abigail accompanied Marianna to pick up Bai Xue, she could see from the other party's face that her employer was in an unusually good mood, so she wanted to take the opportunity to talk about something she had never dared to say before.

"That...Marianna." Even when her employer was in a good mood, Abigail didn't dare to say the "good things" she had done in private: "Didn't you ask me to find helpers myself! So I put the three After a female elf arranged to enter the nanny's room, she paid a sum of money from your account..."

"I know." Before Abigail's voice disappeared, Mariana wrote lightly: "You embezzled a sum of income in the name of hiring a nanny, right?"

After Mariana looked over, Abigail shrunk her neck subconsciously, not looking like a "malignant" witch at all.

It wasn't until the air of silence spread between the two that Abigail asked cautiously, "Are you angry?"

The restless and stiff posture made Mariana not know what expression to show: "If I am angry, will you return the money exactly?"

After Abigail nodded, Mariana changed her voice and said, "Keep it! After all, you should get a salary increase."

It was obviously the result of getting away by chance, but Abigail couldn't feel the slightest bit of luck.

"Don't do this kind of thing without telling me in the future." Mariana's soft-heartedness didn't last long, and she unceremoniously warned Abigail: "If you are dissatisfied with your income, you can tell me directly instead of Hid something from me."

A skeptic like Mariana hates being lied to, especially when she is lied to.

In fact, before Abigail confessed, Mariana thought about how to punish Abigail for "concealing" and whether she should give Abigail a chance.

Fortunately, Abigail did not disappoint Mariana's trust, so after the two discussed the matter, they turned over the unpleasant episode in this chapter.

But that doesn't mean Mariana will let Abigail escape punishment.

"I will not pursue the funds you have swallowed, but from next month, you will use 20.00% of your income as the salary of the three female elves."

"Why?" Abigail was very puzzled: "Aren't they your slaves? This is the first time I've heard that someone will pay slaves."

"Is it strange? But you did it all by yourself." Mariana was pleased by Abigail's expression, so she pulled Abigail's cheek hard, and then explained slowly amidst the pain of the other party. Said: "After all, in terms of my detailed expenses, you took a sum of money in their name."

"Besides, I also want Figohill to work for me honestly." Mariana raised a finger and asked Abigail, "You said that Lucian, who got the money, would do it." What?"

"What else can I do? It must be to buy things for her brother with money."

Compared with the rebellious Figohill, Lucian's personality is undoubtedly much calmer and gentler, quite in line with people's traditional impression of the elves.Maybe it's because the brother and sister lived in the way that after they were kicked out of the forest elves' tribe, the elder brother fought fiercely outside and the younger sister took care of trivial matters at home. Therefore, Lucian's emotional intelligence and self-care ability are higher than that of Figohill, and even After being raised in the dungeon by Abigail, she formed a deep friendship with two other female elves.

Abigail stared at Mariana's faint smile, and suddenly realized something: "You want Figohill to hand over your weaknesses?"

After all, the two brothers and sisters who have a rough life experience and are dependent on each other will undoubtedly regard a stable life as a must-win pursuit.Especially under the premise that they could not return to the forest elf tribe and were branded by the Adventurer's Guild, it was difficult for Figohill to find a way for Lucian to live in peace.

But now, Mariana gave Figohill a clear path to the cage through another method.

Although Lucian couldn't live a respectable life with Marianna, compared with their previous days, at least she could ensure that she had no worries about food and clothing, and gained the kindness of others within a certain range.

After all, Figohill couldn't find a more ideal residence than the court of the Grand Duchy of Aquique, and humanoids discriminate against mixed races just like humans, otherwise Figohill brothers and sisters would not be kicked out after their parents died. Forest Elf Tribe.

"Instead of persuading Figohill to believe me like a fool, it is better to use the facts that happened to Lucian to teach Figohill to bow his head." Mariana easily described the scene that made Figohill extremely entangled: "Lu Xien is a A very gentle elf, she will definitely emphasize again and again that she is doing well in the Aquique court in front of Figohill, and Figohill will not easily believe her sister's words, so after meeting Lucian, she must He will carefully observe the state of his sister, and then discover a fact that confuses him."

"That is, Lucien is by my side, far better than being by Figohill." Mariana looked out the window, estimating how long it would take before she reached the city gate: "Once he understands this, he will grow old." Do things for me honestly."

And Figohill will reversely become a tool used by Mariana to contain Lucian.

In this way, the two brothers and sisters will be sincerely convinced by Mariana in the midst of mutual concern and information asymmetry.

Thinking of this, Mariana looked at Oster, who was in the same car, and pointed out: "As long as the strong have weaknesses, they are not so terrible, so Oster... what is your weakness?"

"My weakness is you, my master." Drow, who was born in the dark, still had the same humble appearance.

"You can really talk." Mariana seemed satisfied with Oster's answer.

However, whether this satisfaction is what it looks like is open to question.

"Bai Xue." Marianne got off the carriage and saw Bai Xue waiting at the gate of the city.

After a week, Bai Xue looked much cleaner than when we met last time, and his clothes were dirty and tattered, but he himself was not disheveled or filthy. Instead, he looked like a down-and-out nobleman, waiting to be raped by his family. Take it back to the castle.

Bai Xue who saw Marianne couldn't hide his happy expression, but when he thought of the decision he had made, he carefully retracted his left foot.

"Why, you have the courage to leave, but you don't have the courage to face me when you come back." Mariana tried to meet Bai Xue's eyes, who looked like a little girl more than ever, but after a short silence, he still mustered up. He pulled Mariana's right hand courageously, and then put his forehead on the back of the opponent's hand.

"Are you begging for my forgiveness?" Mariana put her left hand flat on the top of Bai Xue's head in a gesture of forgiveness: "You have no mistakes that I need to forgive."

However, Bai Xue was not satisfied with this, and instead whimpered like a wild cat.

"It seems that you have completely subdued him." Oster already understood why Marianna brought him here, but the psychological quality of the drow elves is not generally good, so they can maintain their superficial composure.

"That's right! The slaves brought back from Segante are almost subdued, and it's time for the second phase of the layout." Mariana set off for the Aquique court after Bai Xue changed and washed.

It was clearly an extremely peaceful exchange, but Oster was as nervous as if there was a stone stuck in his throat.

"Then am I also in your plan?" Oster was afraid of hearing negative words from Marianne.

Because as far as the current situation is concerned, he is the most useless existence to Mariana.

"Guess what!" Princess Karda, who was leaning against the car window, would not easily satisfy Urst's thirst for knowledge, because she wanted to see how long this drow could last.

"I guess you won't take my life easily." Oster almost used all his strength to restrain the urge to tremble or clench his fist.

In this oppressive atmosphere, a group of cavalry stopped Mariana's carriage.

"What's wrong?" Mariana shook the car and motioned Abigail to see what happened.

However, before the little witch near the car door got up, she was taken a step ahead.

"You all go down." Lucius, who was covered in frost, stepped on the door frame, and said unceremoniously: "There is a free carriage behind, don't wait for me to throw you down personally."

Abigail, who had always been afraid of Lucius, slipped out of the carriage, while Bai Xue glanced in Mariana's direction, and after the latter nodded, she reluctantly followed Oster and left.

"Looking at you, it should be some bad news from Brittania." After Lucius got into the car, Mariana shook the age of the car and signaled the carriage to move on.

However, their destination was not the court of the Grand Duchy of Aquique, but the port leading to Britannia.

"There was news from Solins that my aunt passed away yesterday." Lucius had only seen a portrait of the Duchess of Brittania, so he was not saddened by the death of his relatives: "Ms. The Grand Duke has appointed you to mourn the Duchess of Brittania, and as for Henry..."

Lucius evoked a schadenfreude sneer: "The Grand Duchess Aquique kept him by her side, and his wife from Solins was also under supervision."

"You seem to be happy too early." Mariana directly poured cold water on Lucius: "The dispute over Britannia's succession is, to put it bluntly, a dispute between me and Henry. Don't care if it's her or us. And if Henry doesn't go to his aunt's funeral, how will the debate about the duke proceed? Can the Pope avoid the hearing and just designate who is Bree The new Duke of Tania?"

If the pope really has that much power, it is estimated that the rulers of the world will tremble under the weight of the crown.

"Then why did the Grand Duchess Aquique do this?"

"It's stalling for me." Mariana explained, "She wants me to deal with the Pope's envoy...or Richard of Solins before Henry arrives."
