"You really don't forget your own people in everything you do." Dan Hill suddenly felt that being an ally with Marianne was a happier thing.

The premise is that he can really reach an agreement of interests with Marianne, not just in the current bargaining.

"I thought brothers and sisters who were only half blood would plot each other to death like your grandfather and the regent of Brittania." Dan Hill changed his posture half leaning on the balcony railing, with his arms on the railing, Showing a bit of carelessness: "You don't usually care about him."

Dan Hill looked at Lucius in the banquet hall, and saw that the latter was discussing something with Richard, his brows were frowned so much that he could almost kill flies.

"It seems that your brother has other ideas." Dan Hill looked away before the other party looked over. Although he was still in the same lazy posture, Marianne knew that he was questioning Lucius' loyalty.

In other words, Denhill is questioning Mariana's control over her allies.

"It's impossible for Lucius to betray me." Mariana hardly thought about it: "If Lucius wanted to form an alliance with Richard, he would not choose to contact here; and unless Richard is out of his mind or It was because he had given up on himself that he had the idea of ​​wooing Lucius."

"I take back what I just said." Danhill probably figured out the order of Mariana's people around her, as well as the positions of Lucius and Richard on the Britannia issue.

"You are like a mirror, able to illuminate every face here, and my future." Dan Hill reached out to Mariana and invited her to return to the banquet hall: "With a patriarch's hat and a southern saint The seat of the head of the Templar Knights in exchange for my father's chance to be re-elected Pope, this is undoubtedly a deal that does not need to be carefully considered."

"Oh! By the way, I almost forgot something." Marianne caught Danhill's right foot off the balcony when he was about to step out of the balcony: "I promised Odin's little emperor that I would take it for him. ownership of Lower Tuscadia."

Danhill held Mariana's hand suddenly and squeezed several of Mariana's fingers like an octopus being squeezed into a jar.

"Be careful to smile, and don't let others know your inner thoughts." Mariana was like a doll that didn't feel pain, and she didn't mind the pain of bones colliding from the hand held by Dan Hill.

"You want my father to betray Cantero."

In addition to being at war with Obstar, Cantero also has a territorial dispute with Odin.Because the ruler of Tuscadia, the country at the junction of the two countries, became extinct, Odin's little emperor and Seis of Cantero both made strong claims on Tuscadia.

Seys of Cantero claimed to inherit Tuscadia on the grounds of his matrilineal blood.

However, Odin's little emperor demanded that Tuscadia be included in the royal territory on the grounds that Tuscadia belonged to Odin and all members of his immediate family were dead.

As a result, the pope had to take over the controversy about Tuscadia.

Compared with the succession disputes in Brittania, the situation in Tuscadia is much more complicated.

Moreover, Odin and Cantero implement different inheritance laws.Although it is recognized that collateral blood relatives within five generations enjoy the right of inheritance second only to the direct line, but in terms of calculation, Odin includes the parties involved, while Cantero does count from the parents' generation.

Therefore, judging from Odin's law, the family that ruled Tuscadia has long since become extinct, and judging from Cantero's law, Seys just happened to be stuck on the boundary line of succession.

Dan Hill twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled extremely perfunctorily: "Offending Cantero's Seyes won't do my father any good, besides, Irina will live with Seys in the future, you are..."

Denhill forced himself to lighten his hand, and he didn't want to turn against Mariana: "I want Seyes of Cantero to hate my father."

"So what?" Marianne said indifferently, "No matter how much he resents your father, it's impossible for him to break off his engagement with Irina when Cantero and Obstar fought."

After all, Seyes still has to rely on the Pope's support to win war funds for Cantero, as well as a "righteous" title.

However, in the end, it was the country where Cantero was targeted decades ago.

Even if Seyes' military ability should not be underestimated, he couldn't immediately decide the outcome with Obsta.Besides, Obstaco is much richer than Cantero, which lives in the southernmost part and is connected to the desert.

Of course Dan Hill knew that as long as his father remained on the Pope's seat, it was impossible for Seis to break off the engagement with Irina.It's just that Mariana's behavior is really puzzling, and it can be called dancing on the high-pressure nerves of the Pope and his son: "What good will it do you to help Odin's little emperor take the ownership of Tuscadia?"

"The good thing is that I can appreciate the dog-eat-dog behavior between you, whether it's Odin's little emperor deflated or Cantero's Seys furious, or your family is not a human being inside or outside the two, I appreciate it." Happy." Mariana showed a half-smile expression: "Don't worry, your father and son are definitely not the most difficult one, and I haven't forgotten why Seis of Cantero dared to break off my engagement."

"What if I refuse to ally with you?" Dan Hill laughed angrily, "How do you want to win the title of Duke of Brittania?"

"You don't think my aunt only prepared 'three wills'!" Mariana pretended to be surprised: "Besides, you also said before that your will can only make me get twice the result with half the effort, and it doesn't have the effect of decision hearing Towards the function."

Speaking of this, Marianne also motioned Danhir to lower his head, then grabbed the other party's collar, and whispered in Denhir's ear: "I have already discussed it with the little emperor of Odin. If you don't agree to these request, then His Majesty the Pope will not be able to stay until the day he abdicates safely."

"I think you know it too! Both Obstar and Odin have a lot of dissatisfaction with your father, and before I left Odin, the cardinal who wanted to replace your father had obtained Odin's little emperor and King Obstar’s support. If my mother nods, then under the joint name of the three rulers, the College of Cardinals can hold an impeachment meeting against the Pope.”

"At that time, your father will not be as simple as not being safe at night." Mariana scratched Danhill's nose with her index finger, admiring the other party's calm appearance.

"The way you look now...is more lovable than just now." Marianne remembered what Oster had said, and suddenly realized that she had awakened a strange hobby.

"Think hard."

"Think seriously."

"Think about it and give me an answer."

Mariana patted Danhill's cheek, her tone was as gentle as if she was coaxing her favorite lover: "I still hope to form an alliance with you. But you have to remember one thing, that is, I will always remember those who made me unhappy people."

"And whoever dares to make me unhappy for a while, I will make him unhappy for the rest of his life."

When Mariana separated from Denhill, Lucius held out his arm to Mariana, avoiding the noble ladies who wanted to dance with him.

"You look very happy!" After Mariana took his arm, Lucius led her away from the crowded crowded area.

"Is it so obvious?" Mariana thought that Lucius wanted to dance with her, so after holding Lucius' arm, she subconsciously danced a little dance.

"I think it's pretty obvious." Lucius wanted to say something disappointing, but he didn't want to ruin Marianne's rare good mood, so he swallowed the words that rolled on his lips: "Aren't you curious about the relationship between me and Reason?" Did Chad say something?"

"Is it about me?"

"Yes."

"Then there is nothing to ask."

"why?"

"Will you betray me?" Mariana asked back, "Lucius, will you betray me?"

"No." This was a question Lucius didn't have to think about: "Never."

"Then it's over." Mariana took two glasses of champagne from the attendant's tray, and then handed one of them to Lucius: "My trust in you will not be so fragile."

Lucius hesitated a little while drinking, and finally let go of his curiosity about the relationship between Mariana and Danhill.

…………… I am the dividing line………………

Dan Hill gave Mariana the expected answer before Henry arrived.

The taste of mastering the initiative was better than Mariana thought, so that she took a deep breath on the balcony of the bedroom like a madman, and then emptied the "dirty" in her body all at once.

"I'm starting to fall in love with this feeling." A drunken flush appeared on Mariana's face.

Abigail only saw Mariana show such a crazy expression when she divorced Odin's little emperor.

Bai Xue's beast instinct told him that the current Marianne was terrifying, so scary that he wanted to blow his hair.

Abigail, who put a silencing spell on Mariana's bedroom in advance, calmly pulled her employer back to the room after Mariana went mad, and then locked the balcony door tightly.

"Give me a normal life after you breathe." Abigail threw a hangover pill into the glass, and let Mariana drink half of the glass with her hand: "If anyone sees Princess Karda going crazy in the middle of the night, you just wait You will be kicked out of the heir list!"

"Drunk madness is a big deal?" Marianne's tone had a hint of coquettishness, but the flush on her face did recede a lot.

"If you go crazy with alcohol, you're not far from insanity." Abigail said meaningfully, "Aren't there few nobles who went crazy?"

"It's quite a lot." Marianne drank the rest of the hangover medicine, lamenting that the days of socializing around are coming to an end: "When Henry arrives and the hearing about the succession of the title is over, I don't have to Give those nobles a smile."

"At that time, they should be the ones who will give you a smiley face." Abigail put away the glass that Mariana had used.

And at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Abigail and Mariana glanced at each other, and the latter immediately hid Bai Xue behind the curtain, signaling him to hide his breath.

"Who?" Mariana asked through the door.

The visitor did not report his name, but lowered his voice and said, "It's me."

Mariana opened the door, only to see Richard politely outside the door: "Can I come in?"

The young King Solins was still dressed in black, not caring at all how out of place his widower's attire was with his surroundings.

"What if I say no?" Mariana turned sideways, making a gesture of inviting in, and then asked Abigail to bring Richard to the coffee table where they were talking, only half a meter away from the curtain where Bai Xue was hiding .

"Tomorrow is the hearing. Are you going to make a final struggle?" Mariana sat opposite Richard, and the opening remarks were so spicy that Richard curled his lips.

"I, unable to struggle, come to ask the default winner for forgiveness, what's wrong?" Richard's psychological quality is much better than Dan Hill's.

Whether it is praise or sarcasm, there is basically no difference in the ears of the poisonous snake.

"..." Mariana choked on Richard, but she quickly regained the initiative: "I was almost scared by you."

But anyone who knew Richard a little bit would not believe that this poisonous snake would easily admit defeat.

Mariana didn't know how many cards Richard still had.Although she had won over the Pope and Odin's little emperor, she couldn't relax her vigilance against Richard until the last moment.

"I made a mistake." In front of Mariana, Richard analyzed his mistake on the Britannia issue: "I shouldn't have divorced you and married your aunt."

If Richard can be a little more patient on the Britannia issue, then sooner or later this island will be Thorins' property.

Because Richard's grandfather lost the last port where Solins came into contact with Britannia at the Queen Mary of Obsta, so even if Britannia was brought back to Solins by Mariana, she would Maintain most of its autonomy despite geographical advantages and interference from Obstar.

And Mariana couldn't figure out why Richard was so impatient.

After all, the physical condition of the Duchess of Brittania is there, plus her orientation.Richard only needs to wait another ten years, and he can take Brittania without bloodshed, so why bother to cause so much trouble.

"Did you know that your aunt had a miscarriage before she married me?" Richard naturally could see Mariana's doubts, and knew that Mariana was not the only one who was curious about this matter.

"People will regret, especially as they get older, they will always have stronger and stronger regrets for things they did not do when they were young." Richard lowered his eyes, as if he was telling a story Things that have nothing to do with me: "The Duchess of Brittania had two miscarriages before marrying me. Although she loved Lena deeply, she also wanted her own child to be the Duke, so she secretly married The Prince Regent's bastard has a head and a tail."

"Once the Duchess of Brittania gives birth to a child, the regent can, in the name of the patriarch, confirm that the child is a legitimate child born under the secret union of the two parties." Richard sneered: " When I heard the news, besides anger, I felt pity for their stupidity."

"You know what happened next. After I lured the Duchess of Brittany to Solins, I forced her to marry me, and then I annulled your engagement." Richard's emotions came and went quickly. quick.Mariana couldn't help complaining that he was not a poisonous snake, but a chameleon.

"Your thinking is right. If I were on your side, I would have taken down the Duchess of Brittania quickly." Marianne thought differently: "Ten years of effort are enough to shock the world. What’s more, you don’t know what kind of virtue your future heir will be, so it’s best to let Brittania submit and return to her heart while you are alive.”

Mariana shrugged, and reluctantly praised Richard for his decisiveness: "This is a good idea, and it's worth your risk."

Richard saw Mariana's eyelashes flutter slightly.

It's like a butterfly in a certain sea flapped its wings lightly, and then triggered a crisis on the mainland.

A crisis called [people].

"But what does your adventure have to do with me?" Mariana changed her voice and said, "It is a truth that children understand to be kings and losers. Are you going to cry in front of me about the injustice of fate? Dear His Majesty Richard .”

Princess Karda, who can change her face faster than turning the pages of a book, doesn't like Richard's tricks at all, and doesn't care about the hidden truth that King Solins wants to divorce her: "The old things you brought up can only satisfy my curiosity. It doesn't bring me any real benefit."

Mariana considers herself a realist, so she looked at Richard with scrutiny: "What benefits can marrying you bring me? What benefits can alliance with you bring me?"

"Once I become the Duchess of Brittania, the Queen's seat is not even the icing on the cake for me. Besides, I'm not interested in snatching men from my aunt, let alone a middle-aged woman who can do it men have sex."

Abigail on the side tried to control the corners of her mouth that kept rising, so as not to laugh out loud in front of Richard.

"I don't have feelings for your aunt." Richard probably didn't expect that Mariana would be so vulgar, so he tried his best to not run away in front of Mariana: "I'm with you because of Solins. aunt's union."

"Tsk! How dare you say you haven't consummated your marriage with my aunt?"

"..."

"Or is it that my aunt is a god who got pregnant with feelings, and the majestic King Solins was greened in his own palace?"

"Pfft..." Abigail finally couldn't hold back her laughter, and quickly flattened the corners of her mouth before Richard looked over.

"Don't put on such a reluctant look in front of me." This time, Mariana sneered: "When you take the oath in front of the bishop, it is not the old face of your wife that appears in front of you, but Brittany. the vast lands of Nia."

"When you impregnated my aunt, you wanted to take the opportunity to annex Britannia." Marianne's voice revealed unconcealable joy: "It's a pity that the reincarnation of the heavens is so good, the heavens Forgive me. The old bastard who almost made his son and grandson the Duke of Britannia when you plotted against my aunt and Britannia's succession."

Apart from the Regent of Britannia, Mariana could not think of anyone who could have secretly lost the Duchess of Britannia and Richard's child.

Perhaps it was the Duchess of Brittania herself who acquiesced to the Prince Regent's tricks.

After all, she is just cowardly, not stupid.Naturally understand the idea of ​​the person next to the pillow wanting to leave the mother and keep the child.

However, the regent thought more ruthlessly than the Duchess of Brittania, and took the mother and child away in one wave.

"Watching you dogs bite dogs is really the greatest pleasure I have had in this war without gunpowder." Mariana watched Richard walk in front of her, and then put her hands on the back of Mariana's chair, Directly shrouded her in a shadow.

"Why, are you angry?"

Mariana stops Abigail from trying to help.

At the same time, Bai Xue also appeared behind Richard silently, waiting for Marianne to give an order, and would subdue Richard in an instant.

"You are too crazy, my dear Princess Karda." Richard was obviously in control, but he was at a disadvantage in the conversation.

"Do you think I have nothing to do with you? Don't forget that you are in Britannia - a territory that also belongs to Solins in name." Richard provocatively said: "I am Solins King, who can admit the legitimacy of vassals, can also declare that you are not qualified to be the Duke of Brittania."

"Really? That's really great." Mariana put on a gesture of "please do it quickly": "The Britannians will only love me more because of your opposition. As for the vassals One thing..."

Marianne sarcastically said: "If I remember correctly, the time when my aunt was lured into the Solins Palace by you was the first time that the Duke of Britannia visited King Solins in nearly 60 years."

Richard frowned fiercely, and even his breathing became a little short.

"Admit it! Richard. The Bretons have long since disregarded themselves as Thorins' vassals."

Mariana pushed away Richard in front of her, and the latter fell directly to Snow White's chest, and was then firmly controlled by the half-blood beauty.

"If I don't want to cooperate with you, what can you do to me?"

Mariana pressed a point in Richard's collarbone with her index finger, and continued to ask, "Do you want to burn me? Hang me? Drown me? Or starve me to death?"

"My dear Richard, what do you want to do to me?"

Mariana's index finger and middle finger were like the legs of a villain, walking towards Richard's lips step by step: "I know you can't do anything to me."

"When I was still in the palace of Solins, I knew that you would always find the source of the problem directly when there was no other way."

Mariana withdrew her hand and looked at Richard leisurely: "I know that your talks with the regent have collapsed, and I also know that you have no chance of officially going to war with Brittania."

"Before you set foot on this land, you definitely thought about joining forces with the regent to reject me, or kill me directly."

"But there aren't many people in Britannia who support King Solins or the Prince Regent, right?"

Mariana felt that today was the happiest day since she came to Britannia.

"Watching you come empty-handed and leave empty-handed. It's definitely one of my rewards in Britannia."
