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

"Is the Duchess there?" After finishing the interrogation, Astaros went to find Marianna with the signatures of the nobles, but was told that the Duchess was not in the study, so he had no choice but to go with a stern face under the mocking eyes of the crowd. Marianne's guest room at the Britannian court.

Since Lena hadn't cleared out the relics of the previous duchess, Mariana still lived in the guest room she had just arrived.

When Astaros asked to meet, Mariana was taking a nap in her busy schedule, and was almost entangled by the octopus-like Abigail, who had a nightmare all afternoon.

"Please wait a moment, His Royal Highness is getting up." The maid glanced at the situation in the room, and said to Astaros politely: "Why don't you go back to the study and wait? After all, this is the duchess's room, and you It’s not good to stand outside the door.”

"..." Astaros' serious expression broke for a moment.

The maid thought that the unkind captain of the guard was embarrassed by the current situation, but she didn't know that Astaros' anger almost materialized behind his back.

"Please tell the Duchess that I have an important document that needs her to sign immediately." Astaros bit the word "immediately" and reminded himself not to use his professional power on the maid to prevent the latter from forgetting due to "laziness". In order to remind Mariana to go to the study, his working hours were extended.

"It's so ridiculous." After turning to leave, Astaros muttered after stepping into a deserted corridor: "The lazy devil is working as hard as a donkey in a mill, but his target is soft. fast asleep on the bed."

"So it's not unreasonable for Sidi to mock you." Botis appeared next to Astaros at some point, and in the next second held down the sharp blade that Astaros was slashing at him: "Don't be nervous, I haven't It is powerful enough to break through the top-level restrictions."

Although Astaros' sharp blade directly split Botis' palm in half, it did not cause too much pressure on him: "After all, it is not only close to the sky, but also has the 'Dagger of the Gods' town, So don't say it's me, even if a king-level figure comes here, it is impossible to easily break through the top floor of the Tower of Sighs."

Astaros withdrew the knife, as if judging the credibility of Botis's words, and did not reveal whether he believed Botis's words in the end.

"If one day you replace me and even the position of the god of evil and human sacrifice, please send me to an easier position." Astaros yawned, showing a good-spoken look: "For me, there is no more malevolent curse than hard work."

"If I can really replace the position of the evil god, then you may be labored to death." When Botis communicated with Astaros, he clearly used honorifics, but the content did not reflect his respect for Astarus. Roth's tribute: "Tormenting one's own kind is far more rewarding than torturing a human being."

"The premise is that you can successfully torture me, and not let me find an opportunity to fight back." Astaros didn't care about Botis' harsh words, because in their more than 1000 years of acquaintance, Botis often confronted Ah Stalos talked loudly, but never put his ambition into action.

The displaced sun elongated their shadows in one direction until they connected to the spine of an ugly monster on the wall.

"I went to see Sidi's child, and that little guy, like Sidi, doesn't look very smart." Botis suddenly changed the subject, "But his combative personality is somewhat demonic."

"Can he be useful?" Astaros didn't care if Sidi's child was safe or not, he just wanted to finish the task as soon as possible and go back to hell to sleep.

Even if the evil god put him in a purgatory cage, it would be better than working for someone here.

However, Botis knew exactly what Astaros was planning, so he happily poured cold water on him: "It's no use, that guy's soul is not complete, which caused his blood power to be destroyed to a certain extent. Discount.

Astaros stopped walking suddenly, and then cursed a curse word from hell, which made Botis very happy: "Sidi may be a fool with only love in his mind, but his old lover is not stupid."

"After all, smart people are more likely to be attracted to fools." Botis said here, and joked with Astaros: "Instead of making ideas on the newly appointed duchess, you might as well let Sidi go to his old duchess. Lover, maybe you can achieve your goal faster."

Astaros blinked, and gave Botis a vague answer: "Let's talk about it later!"

Botis knew that Astaros probably didn't take his words to heart, so he shrugged his shoulders, hoping that Astaros would suffer from Marianna a few more times.

…………

……

It's not a good feeling to be woken up.

Especially the nightmare of Marianna being entangled to death by an octopus before she was woken up by the maid, so the moment she opened her eyes, she had to face a needle-like headache and palpitations that were hard to get rid of.

"Huh? Are you going to get up now?" The culprit who caused Mariana to have a nightmare had not yet torn his back from the mattress, but was kicked down by the angry Mariana.

"Did you fucking eat the flame cannon? It hurt me when I woke up." Abigail, who was kicked awake by Mariana, got up from the carpet angrily, and almost tripped over the quilt wrapped around her body.

"You'd better not sleep with me in the future." Mariana touched her neck and limbs to make sure that there were no marks left by Abigail: "If I share the bed with you a few more times, maybe I will be killed by someone in my sleep." You break your neck."

Abigail also knew how poorly she was sleeping, so after Marianne spoke, she immediately mumbled and said, "Isn't this a special situation? After all, it's not only you who are tired, but also me, the poor working witch."

Mariana also seemed to realize that her behavior was too much, so she pulled Abigail up from the ground: "This month's salary is doubled."

"You can only compensate people in this aspect." Abigail stood up from the ground wrapped in a quilt, then changed clothes with Marianne, and asked in the process of heading to the study: "We will be in the Duchess's room." Will you return to China after the succession ceremony? After all, Henry’s body is also a big problem, and the change of Crown Prince Aquique also requires the presence of you, the person who succeeds the Crown Prince.”

"How do you know that Grand Duchess Aquiqui will really let me take over as Grand Duke?" Mariana asked suddenly.

"...Henry is dead, besides you, who else can inherit the position of the Grand Duke?" After all, the Grand Duchess Aquiqui has only three children, and the oldest one is an illegitimate child.

Abigail never believed that the Grand Councilor of Aquique would be an enemy of secular law.

Because once the illegitimate child succeeds to the throne, the complete collapse of the inheritance law and the dispersion of family wealth will follow.

For some vested interests, it is precisely because they have too much to lose, so they have to set up layers of "rules" to strengthen the fault tolerance rate of future generations to maintain wealth and status, and to prevent their surnames from disappearing in the long river of history.

Mariana did not give a definite answer to Abigail's question, but said vaguely, "I guess."

"... Can such an important matter be guessed at will?" Abigail was very sure that Mariana would not talk nonsense in this regard, so she was very curious about what kind of calculations the Grand Duchess Aquiquie was planning.

"A scholar once said: 'As soon as there is an appropriate interest, some people who describe themselves as prudent will act boldly. As long as there is a petty interest, it will be used everywhere; It will be lively; and when there are quite good profits, it will lead to active adventures; and once it reaches the level of sudden profits, it will make people trample on all the laws of the world."

"...But what does this have to do with the fact that the Grand Duchess Aquiquie will not make you the crown prince?" Abigail just felt puzzled: "Don't drop your book bag with me, just tell me the reason."

"I didn't say that the Grand Duchess Aquique would not make me the crown prince, but she would not make me the crown prince 'immediately'." Mariana explained: "Because she is afraid of me, guards against me, and at the same time wants to see How many demons and ghosts can be blown up by the matter of establishing a reserve."

"Then why Henry..." Abigail was interrupted by Marianne before she finished speaking.

"Because he's stupid."

"..."

"Do you think Henry can raise people's desire to challenge and guard against?" Mariana didn't talk about "respecting the dead", and what she said was true.

"The Grand Duke of Aquique has always suspected that Henry's death was related to me." Mariana waved a finger in front of Abigail's eyes: "But on the surface, she will still love and protect me as always. .”

"It sounds so indifferent." Abigail couldn't help shrinking her neck: "Your name for the Grand Duchess of Aquique has changed."

From the somewhat intimate "Mother" to "Akikui Grand Duchess".

"I just prepared in advance that I would be her enemy." Mariana withdrew her finger, making Abigail almost think that the Grand Duchess Aquique herself was standing in front of her.

"I admire the Grand Duchess Aquique very much, but at the same time I fear her." The last thing Mariana wants to encounter is to be an enemy of the Grand Duchess Aquique.

After all, the two of them are too similar, so it is difficult to tell the winner, and at the same time, emotionally, they are unwilling to tell the winner.

"Marianne?"

"Ok?"

"Sometimes I think you're the humanoid." Abigail had mixed feelings about Marianne.

It stands to reason that her keen perception will remind her to stay away from Mariana, but in fact, Abigail has never had peace by Mariana's side.

And this tranquility is what Abigail has longed for the most in the first 15 years.

"Why are you in a daze? Hurry up and keep up."

"Ah! Yes."

Abigail, frozen in place, trots to Mariana.

The shadows of the two were pulled by the sunlight into a long pillar leading to the throne.
