"What do you want to ask? The beautiful Princess Karda." Danhill turned his head in the direction of Marianna, letting his extremely handsome face reveal an aggressive beauty under the slightly ambiguous orange light: " As God bears witness, I will truthfully answer every question you have."

"Really?" Marianna was pulled closer to the position where her toes touched by Dan Hill, and directly entangled with his breath: "You said that I am the existence that makes all gods stop, then I am compared with Irina , who looks better."

"This is really a distressing question." Dan Hill thought that Mariana would ask a more in-depth question, so he temporarily lowered his guard against Mariana: "In all fairness, Irina must be more beautiful."

"Your answer is really not flattering." Mariana's voice suddenly became cold: "As a suitor, your answer is really not ordinary."

"Is it a poor performance to be honest?" Dan Hill pretended to be surprised: "I have never seen such a fragile duchess."

"If sincerity is the virtue of the Papal State, then you are out of this world, my dear lord." Mariana took a step back, using Danhill's raised arm as a fulcrum, and turned around in front of him: " Besides, if you become the Duke of Brittania, you will visit Cantero with me someday."

"This is very interesting!"

After the dance music changed from hasty to gentle, Mariana and Danhill repeated the action when they entered the stage: "The former fiancée and siblings, brother-in-law and sister-in-law."

Denhill glanced at Marianna, who raised her chin, and could see the evil intentions on her face that she didn't bother to hide.

"The people of Brittany will not welcome a duke who praises other queens." Mariana exchanged seats with Dan Hill, and the two kicked a little dance together: "Or, if you want to ignore this paragraph, people will talk about it Tao relationship."

"Gossip can't break me." Dan Hill didn't take Mariana's malice seriously: "If I gave you a different answer, how would you react?"

"I would say that you are a bastard who doesn't care about your family." Mariana said without hesitation, "Because no one can tell which is more important, the interests of the husband and wife or the interests of the family."

"You are really hard to please." Dan Hill noticed that Richard intended to exchange dance partners with him, so he hugged Marianne's waist and avoided Richard's movements in a rather romantic gesture.

"If I can't be your husband, what can you give me?" Dan Hill made a gesture that was quite intimate with Mariana: "Or let me put it another way. What do you want to exchange for Brittany?" The position of the Duke of Asia."

Dan Hill noticed that Richard's eyes were not usually cold, so he slightly loosened the arm around Mariana's waist: "Your aunt wants to let you inherit Britannia by means of 'three wills'. However, one of the wills must be signed by the Pope and certified in the archives of the Papal State before it can be determined to be valid."

Mariana always felt that Danhill's expression carried a sense of certainty of victory: "Then you are going to use this will to negotiate terms with me?"

"Talking about conditions is too distant." Dan Hill didn't want to push Mariana too hard: "I hope to be your ally, and I also expect you to grant me such qualifications."

"That's a really reassuring answer." Marianna pulled Denhill to the edge of the dance floor to prevent them from being separated in the next round of partner changes: "What do you want?"

"Title, territory, or army?"

Mariana raised those topics that could arouse Danhill's interest: "I think His Majesty the Pope would like to hear your name or surname before the title of 'Your Excellency' when he sees you again."

"You are so generous, my dear Princess Karda." Danhill and Marianne clasped hands and lined up with the other couples: "But I know you will not give these expensive gifts lightly, So besides the will that can make you get twice the result with half the effort, you must have other demands from me."

"There are two most valuable titles in the Principality of Britannia. One is the Earl of Anfaville, and the other is the Earl of Kent." Mariana showed a somewhat regretful expression: "It's a pity that the title of the Earl of Anfaville It has already been booked to someone else, so you can only work hard in the direction of the Earl of Kent."

After finishing speaking, Marianna motioned Danhill to look at the nobleman who was talking to the Britannia regent.

Against the background of laughter and laughter, the expression of the nobleman and even the regent of Brittania was as bad as if he was about to attend a funeral.

"I think I understand what you mean." Dan Hill said clearly: "You want to use my hand to get rid of the confidant of the regent. But what I want to know more is, who do you want to use to get rid of the regent The king himself."

Denhill took Marianna's waist with both hands before the dance ended and lifted her up.

"Is that Richard of Thorins?"

"No, it's me."

Mariana and Denhill thanked each other face to face, and then walked to the balcony arm in arm.

"I'm not a very patient person, and I don't want to slowly clean up Britannia's mess." Mariana said bluntly: "I don't know if you, or His Majesty the Pope, can help me get rid of Britannia's stubborn illness." , to restore the political situation in Brittania."

"But you want me to do massacres in the name of holiness." Even though Dan Hill is the boss in front of the Pope, the Pope's second child, his third child's peerless bastard, but let him mess up the political situation of a country , Dan Hill is not ready yet.

"Whether this is successful or not, neither the Pope nor I can wash away the charges of meddling in Britannia's political situation." At this moment, Dan Hill's face was no longer calm when he was dancing, and he finally showed Like a decent person.

"No, this is absolutely impossible." Dan Hill let go of the arm holding Marianne, letting the cold wind on the balcony wake him up.

"I can't, I can't let my father fall into such an unrighteous situation." Danhill held down the railing of the balcony, and that hesitant look pleased Marianna, making her defeat Danhill without hesitation. psychological defense.

"What you are hesitating about is exactly what your father is most willing to give up." Marianne rarely feels the love of her parents, but that doesn't mean she doesn't believe that this kind of love is real: "Otherwise you think he's working hard at the end of the day." The danger of insecurity, what is the purpose of giving your sister to King Cantero?"

Mariana remembered an old saying she heard in her previous life, and she repeated it to Dan Hill: "A phoenix is ​​worse than a chicken. Once your father dies, Irina and you are nothing but dust in everyone's eyes for people to laugh at." stuff."

Dan Hill raised his head with a gloomy expression, and made no secret of his killing intent towards Mariana: "I hope you can comment on my father and sister gently, otherwise I don't know what I will do to you."

"You can tell me in detail how you want to deal with me." Mariana continued to dance on Denhill's nerves: "But your father must have said such a sentence before you left."

"Give everything she wants."

The Pope, who loved his children deeply, didn't care about what would happen to him after he abdicated.

He just wants Denhill and Irina to live a respectable life.

Even if he risked his life and reputation for a lifetime, he would not hesitate to do so.

Dencier avoided Mariana's sight in some embarrassment, and suddenly realized that his and Irina's existence had already ruined all his father's reputation.

If the pope hadn't brought back a pair of dependent siblings more than a decade ago, he might have become the most popular religious leader in nearly 200 years.Instead of being stigmatized as "blasphemers" and "cronyists" as they are today.

"Don't think that all your mistakes are your fault." Mariana suddenly softened her tone, as if she was going to solve the biggest confusion in life for Denhill: "After all, women can't get pregnant with feelings, and yours If father is not ready to face infamy, then he will not break the agreement with the gods, and then recognize you in public."

Denhill hoped that all this was just Mariana's nonsense, but reason told him that Mariana was right.

"Don't you believe your father's judgment? Dear Lord Danhill." Mariana pressed Danhill's shoulder from behind, her voice full of temptation: "Even if it is for your dearest, it is like martyrdom in your heart." You should accept my proposal seriously, right?"

"Yes." Danhill was a little dazed by Mariana's words.

He suddenly didn't know what to do, so he tried to ask for help like a child just starting school: "Can you elaborate on your proposal?"

Even though Mariana temporarily broke through his defenses, Dan Hill did not forget the purpose of his trip, which is to get real benefits from Mariana.

"I can use the will of the Duchess of Britannia in exchange for the Earl of Kent." Dan Hill, who was not panicking, asked, "But what will you give the Pope to take the blame for you?"

"Three votes." What Mariana asked for from the Duchess of Aquique finally came into play: "There are three votes from the Grand Duchy of Aquique and Britannia, plus two votes from Cantero and The votes of any two countries in the Northern Alliance. Even with the joint opposition of Obsta, Odin, and Solins, your father can still be re-elected Pope with a narrow margin of nine votes."

Mariana finally revealed her trump card, but her votes were not given in vain, and the Pope needed to promise her two conditions while taking the blame.

"Besides helping me with those Britannian diehards, I want two things from the Pope."

"what?"

"A patriarch's hat, and the seat of the Grand Master of the Southern Templars."

"To yourself?"

"No, for my second uncle and Lucius."
