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

"Henry, Henry." Midaline, who was the first to react, quickly rescued Henry from the plate, and then wiped off the residue on Henry's face with her sleeve regardless of her neatness, so as to prevent him from being blocked by the cream.

"Get out of the way, everyone out of the way." Escorted by Lucius, Mariana, who was second only to Midaline in response, approached Henry who was lying on his back, then lifted Henry's chin up, and moved his right hand His index finger and middle finger stuck into Henry's mouth, trying to induce vomiting for Henry.

"Ouch!" Henry wanted to break free from the restraints uncomfortablely. Seeing this, Midaline hurriedly made Henry turn sideways to spit out all the food he had eaten.

"You...you..." Henry, who regained consciousness briefly, pointed tremblingly at the Britannia regent, the hatred in his eyes almost piercing the regent into a sieve.

"It's not me, it's really not me..." Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, the Prince Regent of Brittania backed away, while defending himself coldly and palely: "I definitely didn't, I didn't..."

The regent opened his mouth, but found that he was under great pressure and couldn't make a sound at all.

Henry's consciousness came and went quickly.But before his eyes went dark, he still pointed to his chest with the remaining strength and uttered a word that made the regent feel desperate.

"Vue, the lawsuit is on me." Henry stared at the Britannia regent, as if he wanted to bring his face to the god of death: "Aunt... the cause of aunt's death is there..."

This time, not only the Prince Regent of Brittania, but even some nobles were like old roosters whose throats had been choked. They were obviously nervous to death, but just like the Prince Regent, they couldn't make any sound.

Midaline, who was supporting Henry's shoulders, almost wanted to cheer for Henry's actions, but on the surface, she still made an extremely anxious look: "Be quiet first, don't waste your energy."

"Where are the doctors and pastors? There won't be any doctors on call in the court of Brittany!" Richard grabbed the collar of an attendant, half persecuting, half guiding: "The Duchess died After that, there will always be no one to take care of the Britannia Palace."

"Because...for some reason, there are no doctors and priests on call in the Brittany court, so..." The servant caught by Richard was afraid that he would be related to Henry's death, so he reasoned Under Chad's questioning, he stammered: "After the death of the Duchess, Bu, all the affairs of Brittany are jointly presided over by Mrs. Lena and the Prince Regent."

As we all know, Lena is the least likely person in the Britannian court to harm Henry and Mariana.Because of the love of the house and Wu, and since the death of the Duchess of Brittania, Lena only had contact with Marianne except for the funeral of the Duchess.

Even though the Duchess of Brittania preferred to have her niece inherit the title, since the Duchess herself has no grudges with Henry, the possibility of Lena taking action against Henry is almost zero.

As for Mariana...

As long as everyone thought of the rumors about "Miss Abandoned", they reduced the possibility of Marianna committing the crime to zero.

How could an aristocratic girl who spent half of her time in the court of her fiancé in the first 15 years control the Britannian court to the point where she could commit murder at a banquet in a short period of time.

It would be ridiculous to say this!

While everyone was full of thoughts, the doctor who arrived late checked the body of Henry who had no breath, and finally shook his head at Midaline and Marianne, saying that Henry was hopeless.

After about two or three minutes, Henry, who had closed his eyes, was out of breath.

Midaline, who was hugging her husband, could feel Henry's body getting colder.

Lucius drew a prayer symbol on his chest, as a gesture of brotherhood between him and Henry.

Mariana didn't know what expression to make.

From the point of view of interests, Henry's death is of no harm to her, but Mariana is not happy, and even feels panicked.

"Allow the guards to go to the palace." Maryanne, who was calm, found the lawsuit from Henry's clothes, and then ordered to the nobles present: "Before the death of the Crown Prince Aquique and the Duchess of Brittania is revealed. , no one is allowed to leave the palace."

"Your Highness, I think you may have misunderstood your identity." An older nobleman suppressed his anger and said, "You haven't become a Duke yet! You have abused the power of a Duke."

"If seeking justice for my brother is considered an abuse of power, then how do you want to deal with the tragedy in front of you?" Mariana swallowed back the "accident" that was about to blurt out, to prevent the nobles from taking advantage of it and judging Henry's death as an accident. .

Although judging from the current situation, it is true that Henry's death should have been an accident, but Mariana must not make such a judgment.

If Crown Prince Aquique died in Britannia in such a disgraceful way, then it will be rumored that the Grand Duchy of Aquiqui covered up the cause of Henry's death in order to inherit the title of Britannia, or that the Grand Duchy of Aquiqui Already down to the point of looking at Brittany's face.

Just at this moment, the speechless Prince Regent finally came to his senses and echoed: "Until the cause of death of the Duchess and Her Highness Henry is found out, no one is allowed to leave the palace."

At the end, add a sentence: "Including me."

Lucius hadn't lifted his right hand from the hilt since Marianne gave the order.

The guards who received the order quickly surrounded the people in the banquet hall.

In the lead was an "old" knight who had passed his presumptuous age.Although his appearance is at least 30 years away from "difficult to arouse interest", but looking at the appearance of this knight, it is not difficult to imagine what Lucius looked like at the age of 35-although the other party is not the same as Lucius Slightly ostentatious red hair, a light-grey light golden braid hanging down in front of the unpolished breastplate, just missing the five characters "I am a decent person" engraved on his forehead.

"Your Highness." The captain of the personal guard bowed to Marianne, froze his handsome face by five years.

"For the time being, all the gentlemen and ladies present are invited back to the guest room. Without my order, no one is allowed to step out of the room." Mariana was very grateful that the Duke of Britannia's personal guards were willing to listen to her command.

This armed force that directly belongs to the Duke himself, and even the noble council cannot restrict its actions, is the greatest confidence that Marianne's aunt can fight against the regent.

Gein, most of the rulers in this world are afraid of death, so they very much hope to have a group of "dead soldiers" who are only loyal to themselves, so the pro-guards are the product of this desire.

Although they give their lives to their allegiance objects, and are even scorned by many people as "executioners" and "ruler's dogs", but from the perspective of proportionality between risk and benefit, the closer to the king, the easier it is to contact To the power that can change the fate of the family and even the world.

There are even some captains of the personal guard who can rely on the trust of their allegiance objects to become existences under one person and above ten thousand people, directly trampling the noble council and even the local religious team under their feet.

"Your Highness, there are limited rooms in the Britannia court, why don't we go back to our respective residences in the royal city and wait for orders." A certain noble with a bright mind smiled decently, trying to persuade him from another angle Mariana, fight for a chance for them.

"If there are not enough rooms in Britannia's court, then some gentlemen and ladies will be wronged to stay in the Tower of Sighs for a few days." Marianne said very intimately: "Don't forget that you were loyal to Bretania. Duchess Tania."

Accompanied by the sound of sharp weapons colliding.

A cold light hit the nobles' faces paler than the walls.

Some timid ladies even screamed involuntarily.

Mariana turned sideways to the captain of the guard and asked, "May I ask your name?"

The latter's falcon-like gray pupils moved down to an angle where they could look at Mariana, and then said respectfully: "You don't have to be so polite to me. Because I am not from a noble family, I don't have a surname, Britannia Duchess... It should be said that the former Duchess of Britannia gave me the name Astaros."

"This really doesn't sound like the name of the captain of the personal guard." Mariana was very curious why her aunt gave the name of the "lazy" demon king to the captain of the Duke's personal guard.But right now she doesn't have time to discuss names with Astaros.

"Take good care of all the guests." Mariana looked at the noble who proposed, and the latter subconsciously felt guilty for a second.

"For the sake of everyone's reputation, please be patient for a few days before the investigation is over." Mariana emphasized: "At the same time, try to be 'calm' as much as possible, so as not to increase the unnecessary workload of the reviewers, prolong the investigation time and everyone. time of suffering."

Mariana has already talked about this, and there is still something that the people present don't understand.

Crown Prince Aquiqui died at the reception banquet held by the Britannian nobles, and he mentioned the cause of the death of the former duchess before the accident.

On this basis, no matter how many people think that Henry's death was an accident, the word "accident" will not be written in the death investigation of Crown Prince Aquique and the former Duchess of Brittania.

Yes, the moment Henry was declared dead, there was no need for a Britannian succession hearing, and Marianne became the undisputed Duchess of Brittany.

Perhaps after she escorted Henry's body back home, Mariana's title of Duchess would be followed by a coveted title.

【Queen Aquique】.

Richard looked at Marianna who was in charge of the whole situation through the moving head, with a dull expression on his face.

"You look very disappointed! My dear cousin." Midalene, who appeared next to Richard at some point, changed into a clean and plain mourning dress.Her face was as pale and haggard as ever, and she seemed to have quickly entered the role of mourning the widow.

"How does it feel to lose a cash cow?" Midaline covered her face with handkerchiefs, pretending to be extremely sad, but Richard knew she was not sad about "Henry's death" at all, but was happy to be "The Crown Prince's Widow".

"What kind of benefits did Mariana give you, so that you were willing to take the saddle for her?"

It would be a lie to say no regrets.

Even though Richard was a man who was calm enough to be called cruel, he still couldn't help but feel his heart tighten in the face of such a dramatic scene, and he almost fell down in the banquet hall in Brittany.

If the time could come back again, he would definitely not break off the engagement with Mariana, and he would hold this cash cow firmly in his hands no matter what.

Duchess of Brittania and Crown Prince of Aquique.

Anyone with a brain knows what that means.

Mariana at this time was comparable to Queen Mary who had just been established as Obsta's heir several decades ago.

All the words of praise in the world are pale in front of the wealth of the country.

Even a realist like Richard couldn't help but imagine that if he hadn't broken off the engagement with Marianne, then at this moment, the Solins Kingdom might have the possibility of dominating the south and even the entire continent.

After all, the combined size of the Principality of Britannia and the Grand Duchy of Aquique is absolutely no less than that of any country in the south, and even worse.

"It's such a pity." Richard exhaled a breath of stale air that was stuck in his chest, feeling that he hadn't grasped anything during his trip to Brittany.

"Think of the good, at least you are luckier than Odin's little emperor." Midaline patted Richard on the shoulder, pretending to comfort him: "If Odin's little emperor is released two months later Marriage, you can get the Principality of Britannia and the Grand Duke of Aquique without bloodshed. Compared with you who have divorced for several years, and Seis of Cantero, there is no one more suitable than Odin's little emperor' Beat your chest and stamp your feet."

"You really don't like what you said." Richard let go of his clenched fist, stared at the nail prints on it, and finally said in relief: "It's an established fact, and it's useless to regret it."

After finishing speaking, Richard and Midaline looked at each other, and said casually, "What are you going to do without your husband?"

"You don't want to go back to Solins, do you?" Richard remembered that Midaline relied on her marriage contract with Henry to get back her mother's inheritance from Prince Lance of Solins, so she didn't care. She thought that this cousin, who had no sense of belonging to Solins, would return to her hometown where she had no nostalgia after Henry passed away.

"Didn't you ask me what Marianne used to buy me?" Midaline wiped the corners of her dry eyes, and before parting with Richard, she left a vague answer: "I didn't get any from Henry." Mariana will give me everything, even double it.”

"Really?" Richard said clearly, "That's really a good deal.

…………… I am the dividing line……………

After the nobles were guarded by the Duke's personal guards, the attendants of the Grand Duchy of Aquique sorted out Henry's remains, and then hired a more famous ice magician to prevent Henry's body from smelling or rotting.

"This is really the most ironic situation I have encountered in the past 15 years." Marianne stood in front of Henry's coffin, looked at her brother who rarely showed a gentle expression, and stretched out her hand to adjust the collar of Henry's shirt.

Because Henry only brought black clothes on this trip, his attendants picked out the most gorgeous outfit for Henry to change into, and then covered Henry with jewels and the national flag of the Grand Duchy of Aquique, in order to let the old subject Lying in church with dignity.

When Marianne and Lucius came over, Henry's body was safely placed on the altar of the Cathedral of Britannia.

And before yesterday, there was still the former duchess, whose heir was controversial.

As a result, less than a day later, the pair of uncles and nephews came here one after another to obtain eternal peace.

Lucius stood behind Mariana, feeling very uncomfortable.

When Henry was alive, their relationship was so bad that they could draw swords at each other.However, Henry died, and Lucius still prayed for peace of mind for this half-brother who had a bad relationship.

After all, they are brother and sister who grew up under the same roof.

Before Henry turned bad, Lucius also wanted to treat this younger brother well.

It's a pity that Henry didn't believe his half-brother, and even Mariana, who lived in peace with Lucius, gradually became estranged from Henry.

Apart from the Grand Duchess of Aquique, who gave birth to Henry, Mariana could not imagine anyone else who would be heartbroken by Henry's death.

Like the late former Duchess.

"I wrote a letter to my mother to show her that Henry...has returned to the embrace of the gods." Mariana was not sure whether the Grand Duchess Aquique would blame her and Lucius for Henry's death.

After all, no matter how violent and willful Henry is, he is also the only male heir to the Grand Duchy of Aquiquie, and Mariana's mother never thought of letting her daughter replace Henry.

Because of the uncertainty of marriage and childbearing for female heirs, it is more difficult for them to maintain a stable situation than male heirs.

After all, a match made in heaven like Queen Mary and Prince Dunawa is a minority among the few, and even "peaceful couples" like the Grand Duchess Aquique and the Count of Calda are relatively lucky.

"If mother... Grand Duchess Aquiqui insists on asking about the cause of Henry's death, I will answer for you." Lucius said suddenly, "I'll go back first, and you can go back after the Grand Duchess is in a stable mood..."

"Don't be naive, Lucius, Mother doesn't believe that you will harm Henry at all." Mariana interrupted Lucius's words roughly, her eyes emptied into the stained glass of the church: "You seem to despise the temple Red tape, but in reality, you are a well-deserved Templar."

"I'm different."

"Mother knows exactly what kind of person I am." Mariana lowered her head, letting her long reddish chestnut hair fall to Henry's chest.

"Looking at the whole of Brittany, only I am the most likely to kill Henry."

Lucius doesn't understand why Marianna is blaming herself for this.

In his view, Henry's death was an accident.

But Mariana thinks that Henry's death has something to do with her. Even after rationally telling her that it was not her fault, Mariana's emotional side will still involuntarily blame herself.

This feeling made Marianne unusually powerless, but also helpless.

"Your Highness, when do you plan to start the separate interrogation of the nobles?" Astaros, the captain of the personal guard who had dealt with the diehards, came back and said: "If you want to get beneficial information from it, then I suggest you make a quick decision. .”

Astaros glanced at Marianna's back, wondering if this young girl could take on the duties of the duchess: "The sooner the results come out before the nobles have time to exchange information, the more advantageous you will be."

"I will remember your suggestion." Mariana put away her messy emotions, turned her head and said seriously: "You pick out the objects that I need to personally interrogate, and the rest will be interrogated by the interrogation elite in the personal guard."

"Yes." Astaros didn't stay to waste time with Mariana, which surprised Danhill who arrived later.

"It seems that your road to the Duchess is not generally smooth." Because it is the Pope's envoy, the Duchess of Brittany's personal guards have no right to detain Danhill.

At the same time, they had no right to detain Richard and his entourage, nor Henry's widow, Midaline.

Mariana knew what Danhill was here for.

Because of Henry's sudden and sudden death, the attractiveness of their previous deal to Mariana gradually declined, even to the point of being dispensable.

Dencier wondered if his alliance with Mariana, who had considered the possibility of breaking it before Dencier's arrival, counted.

"Henry is dead. Is it necessary for me to form an alliance with you?" Marianna, who has a clear distinction between public and private, will not give up her easy-to-get benefits for the sake of Dan Hill's pretty face: "Unless you continue to increase the stake on behalf of the Pope, otherwise we alliances will not count.”

At this moment, Dan Hill's breathing was a little short.

In the next second, the door of the church suddenly closed.

Baixue and Oster, who appeared behind Danhill at some point, did not have friendly expressions no matter what they looked at.

"What, you want to detain me?" Dan Hill subconsciously felt bad, but he couldn't think of a way to escape smoothly under the siege of Lucius, Bai Xue, and Oster.

"What if I say yes?" Mariana raised her right hand and looked very friendly: "You said it was a coincidence, I was just going to find you! You just sent it to the door."

"Danhill, what are you without the Pope?"

"It's shit." Dan Hill, who has a very clear self-awareness, said frankly: "Without the Pope's support, I am nothing."

After all, he looked at Mariana with interest: "You want to use me to threaten the Pope?"

"Can't you?" Marianne asked back: "After all, such a big incident happened in Britannia, the Pope has to send someone to ask about it."

"And who can be more suitable for interrogation than you who have experienced it personally."

"Sounds reasonable." Dan Hill, who knew he couldn't leave Britannia for the time being, tentatively said, "Then how long do you plan to keep me? You won't keep me forever!"

"Don't worry, I will let you go before your father resigns or dies." Mariana was very satisfied with Dan Hill's cooperative attitude, and her tone became more friendly than before: "Let the pope recognize Britannia first." Someone in the country is suspected of murdering the Duchess and Crown Prince Aquique, so I am ordered to handle it with full authority... let's start!"

Mariana wrote lightly: "Heiresses are dangerous in this day and age."

"So I need an amulet that will allow me to sleep peacefully."
