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

When Lucius was summoned back to the country by the Grand Duchess of Aquique, he had already received that Count Calda arrived in the Grand Duchy of Aquique in advance with two children he should call his cousins, obviously for Henry's The funeral comes.

For Earl Calda, Lucius had no impression, let alone emotion.Even the reason why he can remember this man's name is only because the other party is the husband of the Grand Duchess Aquique, and when Mariana was a child, Earl Calda once hanged Mariana's elf language because of Henry's "slander". teacher.

Although a slave who was given to Mariana by the Grand Duchess Aquique as a birthday present is not qualified to teach the princess, Mariana really likes that gentle and gentle female elf, and even compares her to the current Ah Better than Gail.

Lucius remembered that it was the first time Mariana had cried in front of a crowd, and then developed a high fever.

The Grand Duchess Aquique also quarreled with Count Calda for this.

The latter also self-consciously compensated Mariana with a younger and more beautiful elf slave.

But Mariana did not accept the compensation, but released it back to the dark forest.

Since then, Mariana has never shown any special love for a certain person in front of everyone.

Until she saves Abigail at the stake in Cantero.

…………

……

Not seen for several years, Count Calda's aging was almost visible to the naked eye.Due to the long-term inactivity, the waistline of this middle-aged nobleman has increased by more than a star and a half, and it should be twice as wide as the Grand Duchess Aquique.

Fortunately, the appearance genes of the Dunawa family have always been good, so Earl Calda has not yet grown into a swollen face, and the handsome shadow of his youth can be vaguely seen between his brows.

"Your Excellency." Lucius stood in front of Count Calda, and then bowed to him: "The body of the Grand Duke has been transported back to the Aquique Cathedral. Would you like to go and see it?"

"No, I can't." Count Calda remembered his plan with the Grand Duchess Aquique, so he deliberately kept a distance from Lucius.

Compared with Earl Calda's previous attitude towards Lucius, he now treats this nephew and nominal "son" with a pleasant face, and even looks a little bit trembling.

Lucius felt that Count Calda's attitude was very strange, but he didn't delve into it.

Count Calda didn't know what role Lucius played in the plan of the Grand Duchess of Aquique, but he firmly believed that the latter would stand firm when the Grand Duchess of Aquique attacked King Obusta. mother.

Maybe he should talk to Lucius a little more.

Count Calda fiddled with his fingers anxiously, but in the end he still didn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

…………… I am the dividing line……………

After solving the big incident, Mariana finally got a good night's sleep comfortably.

In order to reduce the pressure of her subsequent work, Mariana simply let Astaros and Botis deal with the nobles who committed minor crimes by themselves, and then signed the death statement and property inheritance documents of the regent of Britannia , and went to visit her new residence—that is, the large estate where the Prince Regent of Brittany entertained Richard.

"It's still a little worse than the Aquique court, but it's much better than the Britannia court." Because of her previous engagement experience, Marianna lived in almost all the prestigious palaces in the south.

From Odin's Amber Palace to Cantero's Black Forest Castle.

Except for the frequent "moving", Mariana's childhood is enough to be called "spoiled and spoiled".

Even Seyes, who had a feud with Obsta, did not withhold Mariana's treatment or engage in mental violence against her under the premise of being forced to get engaged.

Of course, this guy was really a dog when he retired.

Among Mariana's three fiancés, Seys sent Mariana back to her hometown without saying hello (forgetting to make up).

As a result, it became the target of satire by bards.

"Okay, no matter how bad this place is, it's much more comfortable than other people's palaces." Abigail was quite satisfied with this place.

Since it was Marianne's private property, it was much more at home than any place Abigail had ever lived.

"Can I choose a room I like?" Abigail, who wished to move in today, was even more excited than the owner of the manor.

"Yes, but the master bedroom, the second bedroom, and the largest guest room cannot be selected." Mariana has always been generous to her own people.After all, she can even share her own bed with Abigail, so it's not a big deal for him to choose a room.

"But do you know how much furniture that bastard Prince Regent has saved?" Mariana suddenly remembered a very interesting thing, and then blocked the sunlight on one side with a folding fan, as if she was whispering to Abigail: "Anyway, there's nothing to do now, why not come and play something interesting."

"I'm not interested in other people's property." Abigail, who was empty-pocketed, didn't want to reveal her hatred of the rich, but under Mariana's money offensive, she reluctantly gave an unimaginably large number.

As a result, the latter shook his head regretfully after hearing Abigail's answer, and raised two fingers by the way: "This is only one-twentieth."

At this moment, Abigail really wanted to strangle Marianne to death desperately, but when she thought of the comfortable life without having to hide, the magic props without worrying about the supply problem, and the occasional gourmet food and clothes, she forced herself to do so. Suppressing the fire of anger that was about to burst out, he smiled at Mariana and said, "Yes, is it? That's really congratulations."

Mariana could hear a tremolo in Abigail's voice, so she raised the corners of her lips happily, leaned close to Abigail and asked intentionally, "This is true."

"Sincerely." That's strange.

Smiling like a dummy, Abigail watched as Marianne put away her fan and walked to the gazebo in the garden.

"There are several very famous amethyst mines in Britannia." Mariana said casually, "How about I give you a smaller amethyst mine under my name?"

Abigail, who thought she was hallucinating, her pupils shook first, and then she immediately dispelled her dissatisfaction with Mariana, and then approached Marianne in three steps at a time, and held her arm very intimately. Calling Mariana directly is the only true love in her life: "You really love me."

"Really? I thought you were going to kill me just now!" Mariana gave Abigail a "I don't believe you" expression, and the latter immediately laughed: "How could it be! You are mine Amulet! So at most I just..."

Abigail, who almost said the wrong thing, quickly covered her mouth, causing Mariana to squint her eyes.

"At most what?"

"At most it's just...just..." Abigail, who suddenly stammered, reached out to Mariana in despair, and put on a gesture of "letting you handle it": "I was wrong, please don't pursue it."

Mariana stared at Abigail's swirls, and finally let out a long sigh helplessly: "Forget it, I didn't expect you to say anything good."

"That's good." Abigail, who would immediately get excited as long as Marianna didn't pursue it, retracted her chubby hand, pretending to be relieved.

As a result, this gesture immediately attracted a chuckle that no one noticed.

"It's really similar."

A certain big man sitting casually on the top of the manor tower rested his right hand on his bent right leg. His body was covered with complicated magic lines. Only his face was considered "clean", but it was under the left eye and on the bridge of his nose. There are black streaks of varying shades.

Like Botis, this big man also has blood-red eyes, but under the sun, they faintly reveal an orange-red color like lava.

The whites of his eyes are the pitch black of a devil, and with his white hair, he looks very strange no matter what.

"Master Cthulhu, do you want to do it yourself?"

As soon as Astaros and Botis sensed the aura of their boss, they knelt down in front of each other on one knee. Their postures were so humble that it was hard to imagine that they were demons keen to cause trouble.

"Why, some of you are reluctant?" The big man called "Cthulhu" shook his left leg that was hanging casually, obviously smiling, but it made Astaros and Botis subconsciously shed cold sweat.

"No, we follow all your orders." Astaros, who was more senior, stubbornly resisted Wia from Lord Evil God, while Botis at the side knelt for a while, and then almost collapsed to the ground.

"Oh? I almost forgot that there are juniors here." The evil god who finally noticed the existence of Botis waved his hand, so that the latter could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry, your aura is too weak, so I can't feel the presence of a second demon here." The evil god's lazy posture did not show a sign of apology.

Inexplicably, Botis felt that Lord Cthulhu was very similar to Marianne.

Whether it's the posture of controlling everything or this arrogant tone, it makes people feel...

"Your idea is really not ordinary interesting."

As soon as Botis thought of this, he received an even brighter smile from Lord Cthulhu.

At this moment, Astaros admired Botis' courage, and even felt that he was more suitable to be one of the four pillars than himself.

"My lord, please believe that I didn't intend to slander you." Botis, who had already written a draft of the suicide note in his heart, struggled with all his strength: "It's just that my brain is a little rusty because I have stayed in the human world for too long."

"When you return to hell, I will ask the devil to arrange the best lava bath for you." The evil god said very considerately: "After all, I am a leader who cares about his subordinates, so I have to reward you for your 'conscientiousness' .”

Astaros was very sure that the word "reward" that the evil gods bit heavily was by no means a compliment to them, so he could only smile wryly in his heart.

"But what you said is right, this unlovable little girl is indeed very similar to me." I don't know if it was Astaros' illusion, but a trace of tenderness flashed in the eyes of the evil god.

However, the object of this tenderness was not Mariana.

"I like the Grand Duchy of Aquique very much, so you have to be gentle with it." The evil god who just came over to take a look got up and patted the inconsistent white cloth.

Compared with the costumes of Astaros and Botis, the evil god is dressed more like a barbarian.

"Okay, I should also go see that saint." The evil god left a light words before leaving: "I just hope that the eyes of the gods can be normal, and stop looking for some useless guys."

…………… I am the dividing line……………

"Is this my return to my hometown?" When Mariana set off to return to the Grand Duchy of Aquique, the treatment she received was completely different from when she first arrived, and it was a world of difference.

"There is a guard of honor to open the way for you, and the people to send you blessings." Abigail, who was traveling with Mariana, said with envy: "Just looking at the pomp when you left, it is not difficult to imagine why so many people are addicted to power. in the game."

"But the chips in this game of power are not generally expensive." The number of traitors executed by Mariana in this month is enough to equal the total number of death sentences signed by the former duchess for more than 30 years.

If it weren't for a professional magician to clean up the mess for the executioner, I believe that there will be a "rose" that is worthy of being called a landmark in front of the Cathedral of Brittany.

It would be difficult for any newly appointed ruler to clean up the mess in front of him after making such a big move.

However, Mariana did not leave anything that could be used to attack her.

Whether it was the executed nobles, the confiscated land, or even the compensation that flowed into the pocket of the Duchess, they were all impeccable on the surface.

As for the Britannia regent who died inexplicably and the Earl of Kent who suddenly turned against him, they became dust in history under the strong efforts of the Wilson family.

Everyone anxiously wanted to turn over this bloody page.

Mariana granted the title of Earl of Kent, which she had taken back from the Wilson family, to Danhill, who was imprisoned in Britannia by her, but did not give the newly appointed Earl of Kent the corresponding land and official position at the canonization ceremony. He was even more guarded than before.

And Dan Hill is not the only lucky one to be awarded a title after Mariana became the Duchess of Brittania.

As Henry's widow and Marianne's ally, Midaline was also obsessed with getting the title of Earl of Anfaville that she was looking forward to.However, Mariana did not give Midaline the corresponding official position and land, just like she did with Danhill.

However, Mariana also promised Midaline that as long as the other party remains loyal to her and makes a series of contributions, then the official position and land will be a matter of time.

For Mariana's actions, it was impossible for Midaline not to be angry, but after weighing her interests, she still accepted Mariana's arrangement.

After all, it is quite a fantasy for a young and rootless foreign widow to obtain a very important title in Britannia.If Mariana rewarded Midaline with a good piece of land, or let Midaline parachute into a key position.

Then the Britannian nobles' fear of Mariana would instantly turn into suspicion and anger towards outsiders.

The smooth sailing Mariana saw two unexpected greeters the moment she stepped off the boat.

Count Karda and the Selim siblings.

When Marianna saw three similar anxious faces, she applauded Count Calda's "fatherly heart" in her heart, but on the surface, she had an indifferent appearance that made Count Calda at a loss.

If Lucius hadn't seen Count Calda for three or four years, then Marianne hadn't had any contact with her biological father since her first engagement.

Although the Grand Duchy of Aquique regularly sent portraits of Henry and Marianne to the Earl of Calda, the court painters would try their best to paint the employers as dignified and serious as possible, so they could not show the real person's mental outlook very well.

Count Karda knew very well that this legitimate daughter whom he hadn't seen for many years was not a sweet and cheerful character.

Even if the other party's evaluation in the court has always been very good, it is very easy to leave an impression of being easy to get along with.

However, under the influence of the Grand Duchess Aquique, Count Calda inevitably had preconceived guard and prejudice against Mariana.

"Your Excellency, I think you should bow to me." Mariana did not give a warm hug when she met Count Calda.

This was the exact opposite of her attitude when she met Felipe.

Only then did Count Calda realize that Mariana was no longer his daughter, but the Duchess of Brittania, who had a higher status than him.

As a father, Count Karda would definitely put himself in a position of authority, and hoped that Marianne would obey him.

However, the criteria for judging people in this society are not limited to age and seniority.

Besides, Mariana didn't need to live by Count Calda's face, so the latter couldn't treat Mariana in the same way he treated Selim or even Serrad.

"Your Highness, it is my great comfort and honor to meet you." Earl Karda, who was trying to do his psychological work well, took off his hat and gave a fairly standard courtesy to Marianne.

Sela, who was standing behind Count Karda, seemed to want to complain for her father, but was stopped by Selim.

"I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still the same as I remember." Mariana, who was talking nonsense with her eyes open, found it difficult to find words that could be used to praise Count Karda.

If Earl Karda a few years ago could still be praised for his handsome appearance and gentle temperament, then the current Earl Karda undoubtedly shattered his only shining point under the mid-life crisis, making Mary Anna couldn't believe that this man was actually the husband of Grand Duchess Aquique.

This is really...

Flowers stuck in cow dung.

"Your Highness, please allow me to introduce you...Selim and Sela of Karda." Earl Karda swallowed the "my child" that he almost blurted out in time, and carefully looked at Mariana's body. complexion.

"Sir, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to welcome me." Mariana stretched out her hand to Selim, who only made a kiss on the back of his hand, but did not put his lips on it.

"Your Highness, you are as beautiful and noble as the rumors say." Selim kept his eyes on Marianna's chin, trying not to give the latter an impression of being too flattering or too cold.

Count Karda was not worried and sad about the situation of his eldest son.

Seeing this, Sera, who was following her brother, also hurriedly lifted up her skirt and greeted Mariana: "I, I am also honored to meet you."

Compared with Selim, Selah gave Mariana a much worse first impression, so she just nodded to Selah, and did not communicate with him visually or verbally.

"Since we have met, you can also ask and explain to your mother." Mariana guessed that the grand duchess Ajikui had given her the right to decide whether Selim and Sera could stay. That's why Earl Karda hurried over to greet him.

"Yes, you are absolutely right." Count Calda's fatherly heart was extinguished by Marianne's performance.

so similar.

This daughter is so similar to the Grand Duchess Aquique.

So Count Calda really couldn't have paternal love for Mariana.

…………

……

"You look disappointed in your father." Abigail asked seemingly casually after boarding the carriage with Mariana to the Aquiqui palace: "His acting skills are so fake that people just want to sigh. Obviously begging for the life of my darling, but trying my best to put on an attitude of a loving father."

Mariana looked out the window, then put the little snake hidden in her sleeve aside.

"I already know what kind of person he is, so there is no need to be disappointed."

"Liar." Abigail watched the released little snake return to normal.

Bai Xue flicked her half-length hair, then hugged Marianna from behind.

"What are you doing?" Mariana, who was caught off guard because of a daze, stared at the arms around her waist, and wanted to tear them apart, but found that it was really difficult to move her arms in this position.

"Bai Xue, don't make trouble." Mariana, who was not used to being so close to others, subconsciously straightened her back, and was almost pressed against the car window by Bai Xue.

"Okay, don't read the joke, come and help." Mariana, who couldn't help herself, looked at Abigail who was opposite.

As a result, when the little witch was about to join hands, Bai Xue suddenly whispered in Mariana's ear: "Ma, Mariana."

This non-standard call made Mariana turn her head in surprise, and then crashed into a magnificent light red.

"Marianna."

"Marianna."

Bai Xue repeated Mariana's name a few more times, as if she was very happy to say this sentence, so she emphasized over and over again: "Mariana, Mariana."

Bai Xue, who let go of her arms, hurriedly grabbed Marianne's hands after she turned around, and then placed them on her cheeks.

"Marianna."

Bai Xue, who turned into a repeater, stared into Marianna's eyes, and squeezed her hand on her cheek even tighter.

"He's trying to make you happy." Abigail, who knew she didn't have to do anything, looked at the weird pair of master and servant with a bit of teasing, "I thought this guy would never be able to speak for the rest of his life."

He is obviously a born mutilated hybrid, but he is unexpectedly keen in some respects.

"I know he's trying to make me happy, but this method is also..." Before Mariana could finish her sentence, the door of the carriage that stopped suddenly was pulled open.
