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

Mariana knew who it was.

Even if she didn't look back at the other person's face, it was not difficult to recognize the other person by virtue of the silhouette on the chair.

Even for Mariana, it was so easy that she would subconsciously deny this undisputed answer, and then shed a drop of cold sweat under Bai Xue's gaze.

"The Grand Duchess is waiting for you." Lucius acted calmly, as if there were only Marianne and Abigail in the carriage.As before, he held out his arm to Mariana, so that she could get out of the carriage.

The moment Lucius opened the car door, Bai Xue tightly hugged Mariana's waist tightly, making it rare for Lucius to show helplessness.

"I think you should limit it a bit." Lucius urged Mariana with his arms outstretched, "I'm not interested in your private life, but for the sake of your future, it's best not to overdo it. "

Upon hearing this, Bai Xue immediately hugged Mariana even tighter, but she pushed her away

"Let go." Mariana ordered, "Let go immediately."

With Bai Xue's strength, it is easy to subdue Mariana.However, with his strengthened obedience, he loosened the arm around Marianne before his mind made a judgment.

Seeing this, Lucius also restrained his desire to draw the knife.

Bai Xue just watched Mariana get off the car, until Abigail reminded him to get out of the way, and the latter reacted and rushed towards Mariana.

"He's really uncommonly loyal." Abigail regretted that she couldn't see Lucius fighting Snow White, but being able to see Marianne showing a nervous look was an unexpected gain today.

Mariana stopped holding Lucius' arm when she got off the station.

The latter thought that Marianna was angry, so while nervous, she also twisted her brows and the corners of her mouth tightly, making it hard to see who provoked whom first.

"I know I'm not qualified to make irresponsible remarks to you in my capacity." Lucius, who couldn't bear it first, walked to a seat on the same level as Mariana, and then racked his brains to justify his behavior just now: "But I don't even want to watch you walk into the fire pit."

"I understand what you mean." Mariana was not idle to be Neptune's time management master, so she told Lucius frankly: "You think I like Snow White."

Lucius, who had his mind pierced, was not usually embarrassed, but he still nodded awkwardly: "Your preference for him is too obvious."

"But he is really likable." Mariana looked back at Bai Xue, not hiding her love for Bai Xue: "Who can refuse an obedient beauty."

"A obedient beauty?" Lucius chewed on this sentence carefully, and said tentatively, "I thought your favorite subordinate was Abigail."

Mariana glanced at the suddenly talkative Lucius, but did not directly respond to his temptation.

And this evasion made Lucius, who couldn't get the answer, even more depressed. Even after he received Marianna, he never let go of his frown.

The Grand Duchess of Aquique has not changed her attitude towards Mariana, because the latter, whether she is Princess Calda or the Duchess of Brittania, has to salute the Grand Duchess with a higher status.

Besides, Mariana is not a villain.

She still doesn't have the ability to challenge the Grand Duchess Aquique, so it's best to be quiet and obedient.

"I should congratulate you on becoming the Duchess of Brittania." The already indifferent face of the Grand Duchess Aquiquil against the background of the mourning clothes made people shun her even more: "But you'd better explain the cause of Henry's death , and what exactly did you do in Britannia."

"I thought the case of Henry's death was already closed." Mariana was not annoyed by answering a certain question repeatedly, but felt that the reaction of the Grand Duchess Aquique made the indestructible ruler a little more human.

After all, before this, Mariana thought that the Grand Duchess Aquique was a person with no feelings.

Whether it is her husband, children, or the head maid who has spent the longest time with her, they will subconsciously regard the Grand Duchess as a creature that does not need, or even has no emotions.

Count Calda even felt that the Grand Duchess Aquique was more terrifying and ruthless than Queen Mary.

Because Queen Mary still has a Prince Dunawa who loves each other, and her attitude towards her sons is also visible to the naked eye.

As for the Grand Duchess Aquique...

Rather than saying that Lucius, Henry, and Mariana are her biological children, it is better to say that they are the experimental products used by the Grand Duchess Aquique to continue the blood and the throne.

But now, only one of these experimental subjects remained.

"I know you are suspecting that I have never loved you." The Grand Duchess Aquiqui lowered her eyes, and then took off the wig on her head in front of Mariana.

Except for the head maid of the Grand Duchess, no one knew that the supreme leader of Akikui, who was dubbed the "ruler with a heart of iron" and "ruler with a heart of stone", already had a large patch of gray hair.

Although the Grand Duchess Aquique's face is as young as ever, she is even more attractive than some young mature women who are at the perfect age of 30, but like Felipe, years of hard work still caused irreparable damage to her. s damage.

Coupled with the chain reaction of Henry's death.

It can be said that the current Grand Duchess Aquique is very fragile.

Compared to when she was pregnant but was abandoned by King Obstar, she didn't show much.

"I admit that I am not a qualified mother." The Grand Duchess Aquique threw her wig aside, and it was rare for her to be honest with Mariana: "Because I have never had the innate motherhood of a woman. Except for the continuation of the blood and the maintenance of the dynasty Other than the stability factor, I can't imagine why a woman would want to have a baby, why would she equate her wholeness with a baby who has no future, as written in those bullshit dogmas."

"If your grandmother was the most deviant woman 50 years ago, then after her death, I will be the only person in the whole continent who can take up this title." The change in the tone of the Grand Duchess Aquique made Mariana Noticing something, he said with certainty, "You like it very much when people compare you to your grandmother."

"Your uncle and some arrogant little kids like to call themselves the reincarnation of King Capel. It's a pity that I'm not a man, and I have no interest in marching and fighting, so I can't complete the great cause of expanding the territory."

It was the first time for Mariana to see the disappointed look of the Grand Duchess Aquiquie, and the tone of the other party also changed sharply: "If it weren't for the death of Prince Dunawa, the glory of Queen Mary would last until the end of her life. Your uncle Always a self-important fool, he is no match for his mother, let alone the great King Capel."

"Is that why you chose to marry your father?" Mariana asked suddenly.

"No, I married your father for my own ambition." The Grand Duchess Aquique's answer surprised Mariana, but felt it was reasonable.

"Everyone thought that I loved your uncle, but after Lucius was born, I found that I was not as dependent on love or any kind of physical affection as I imagined." The Grand Duchess Aquiqui relied on On the back of the chair, which was not soft, for the first time in history, she showed her ambition to Mariana: "The only thing I can fight for is my ambition and great cause."

"It doesn't matter whether it's King Obstar, Count Calda, or even asking me to marry Felipe who has returned to vulgarity, it's understandable."

"Even if Uncle Felipe doesn't like women."

"Dear Mariana, if you want to achieve great things, you must sacrifice. After all, the sun doesn't revolve around you, and there are not so many handsome, wealthy and perfect partners in this world who love you deeply." Ah Grand Duchess Kikwe was not happy about Mariana's sudden interruption, but continued, "I want to start a dynasty like your grandfather did."

"Why is it that only men can rely on marriage to deprive a family of a century-old foundation, but we women who feed our offspring with flesh and blood cannot do so."

"So you told me so much nonsense, just want me to inherit the throne of Obstar." Mariana was also very surprised how a proud woman like the Grand Duchess Aquiqui swallowed the obsta Despite the humiliation of the king's betrayal, he was willing to marry the Earl of Karda, who was far inferior to the former.

If it was because of this lofty appeal, then the pain that the Grand Duchess Aquique endured was nothing more than a reasonable reward for her ambition.

"Why, you don't want to?" The Grand Duchess Aquique felt that Mariana would refuse the fat that was delivered to her mouth for no reason: "This is what many people dream of."

"But this is not my dream." Marianna was very puzzled: "Why should I use my whole life to serve your dream? Just because you are my mother and helped me become a Britannian woman." Duke?"

"..." Grand Duchess Aquique knew that it was not so easy for her to get a promise from Mariana, but the intimacy between mother and daughter also prevented Grand Duchess Aquique from being stupid enough to want to use the identity of "mother" Go suppress Mariana.

"You know my value to you very well." Mariana licked her dry lips, carefully weighing her attitude towards the Grand Duchess Aquique.

Compared with a disobedient daughter, Grand Duchess Aquique is more afraid of an unambitious daughter.

"So you plan to invest something in me." Mariana couldn't believe the sudden and silent maternal love of the Grand Duchess Aquique: "If Henry is still alive, will you support him like this?"

"Of course." The Grand Duchess Aquique was very aware of her daughter's worries, because they were like two mirrors, so they needed to regard each other as the most difficult enemy to deal with.

"Henry is much easier to control than you, but he is so stupid, so I don't believe he can secure the throne of Obsta."

"So you let me inherit Britannia to assist Henry."

"It's not an assistant, it's a regent." The Grand Duchess Aquique corrected: "I don't want my dynasty to be destroyed by Henry, so you are my successor, and you also need a suitable identity to stay by Henry's side, and then prevent Those who tried to control Henry."

"If Henry is knocked off the throne of king, then you are the last fire in our family."

The Grand Duchess of Aquique stared into her daughter's eyes and forced Mariana to look directly at herself: "Britannia has weapons and troops, while the Grand Duchy of Aquiqui has food and money."

"I never planned to leave the hole card to Henry, because I have to guarantee that after Henry fails, you can ascend to the throne of Obsta."

At the end, Grand Duchess Aquique added: "Of course, I don't mind you replacing Henry."

"This is really a perfect arrangement." Mariana smiled and said: "So I am your second plan, and now I directly replace Henry's role, right?"

"It's okay if you want to think that way." The Grand Duchess Aquique didn't care about the anger concealed by Mariana's smile.

"I once said to some people that Henry has ambition but no ability, but you have ability but no ambition."

The Grand Duchess Aquique regained control of everything: "Fortunately, I still have a chance to make amends."

Mariana knew she was cornered by the Grand Duchess of Aquique.

At the right time and place, even if they can't achieve harmony, they can force Marianna to reach an agreement with them under all constraints.

But Marianna will not obediently obey the words of Grand Duchess Aquique.

Moreover, based on Mariana's understanding of her mother, the latter is very likely to take the opportunity to control the political situation in Obstar after her daughter ascends the throne, so she needs a more favorable guarantee so that the Grand Duchess Aquique cannot control herself like she is today.

"I want your bills." Mariana said, "I want all the bills of the Obstar nobles here."

"You want to negotiate terms with me?" Grand Duchess Aquique didn't care about Mariana's struggle: "But what do you use to negotiate terms with me?"

"I can refuse to go to Obstar."

"You can do that." Grand Duchess Akikui made a gesture of "whatever you want": "Anyway, you are just a small pawn in the plan, not enough to affect the direction of the game."

"Half." Mariana weighed and stepped back: "You can't let me go to Obstar empty-handed."

Grand Duchess Aquique did not immediately respond to Mariana's request, so the latter continued: "Compared to Midaline, you should trust me more."

"..."

"And Midaline is not the key to your dynasty."

"Not enough to promise the nobles of Obstar."

……… I am the dividing line……………

Love is never a rose that never fades.

Not even the vast majority of temptations in the world.

Especially for the kings at the top of power, because they have too much to lose, love is not a priority among all the choices.

Just like now.

When Queen Polina felt the familiar discomfort again, there was no coquettish woman among the maids who served her.

"Where's Miss Jeanne?" Queen Polina rubbed her reddened temples, barely showing a dignified smile that belonged to a queen.

The sky in Obstar was gloomy and gray for several days in a row.

This muddy dark gray made Queen Polina's already unhappy mood even worse, and it reached its peak when a faint singing sound entered the room.

"Dear ladies, please tell me where Madame Jeanne is." Queen Polina took a deep breath and asked again patiently.

As a result, after an unpleasant silence, only a maid-in-waiting related to Queen Polina dared to say: "His Majesty the King took Madame Jeanne while you were resting. He said that the court will soon We welcome a distinguished guest, so we need Madam Na to arrange the basic necessities of the distinguished guest."

Undoubtedly, these words were like dynamite thrown into the lake, causing Queen Polina's sanity to evaporate without a trace in an instant.

"I think His Majesty the King should trust his wife more than trusting a young widow." Queen Polina swept around the maids present, and found that they all looked like they had been bitten by poisonous snakes, and lowered their heads to avoid herself. Sight.

Ever since King Obstar took in his first mistress after marriage, Queen Polina, like a lioness guarding her territory, dispersed some of the good-looking female nobles in the palace, and replaced all her maids with Older and less beautiful women.

And even if this step was achieved, Queen Polina still worried about planting her own spies in the palace, and even encouraged the maids to report to each other those who had ties to the king.

If things go on like this, the nobles of Obstar are naturally dissatisfied with the queen.

Whether for political or personal reasons, Queen Polina was the most unpopular person at Obsta's court.

It's a pity that before the nobles started to oppose her, Queen Polina had already had a husband and wife relationship with the king recognized by the church, plus three children who were about to grow up, so the nobles could not do anything to her, even for the crumbling For the sake of the royal family's reputation, another mad royal family member cannot be allowed to appear in the court.

For Queen Polina, this is her greatest confidence to be domineering in the court of Obstar.

However, with the passage of time, and the pressure brought by the long-standing stalemate between Obsta and Cantero.

Once in love with Queen Polina, King Obstar also began to regret his actions when he was young.

He gave up the vast territory of the Grand Duchy of Aquique for a troubled woman, and even planted hidden dangers in his own rule.

When the glory is gone and the love is no longer.

The wild charm that once fascinated King Obstar was nothing more than a rude act of looking for trouble and messing around.

And her eloquent red lips and lark-like singing voice have gradually lost their bewitching charm.

After all, no matter how beautiful things are, they will always feel tired after watching them for a long time.

In particular, Queen Polina was not from a noble family, and was even a young girl who was almost an adult when she entered the palace, so it was very difficult for King Obstar to have spiritual communication with her.And in the ten years after marriage, Queen Polina never tried to change her temper or cater to the king's preferences.

Because she is very stubborn that she must maintain the dignity and power of the queen, otherwise those who try to replace her will immediately tear her to pieces.

…………

……

When Queen Polina led her group of maids aggressively through the promenade, the whispering nobles all turned their heads contemptuously. Queen Obsta, who is right on top, is a virus that is enough to kill, for fear have any contact with it.

Before King Obstar came to the throne, the court maid had always been a sought-after position.

Here, they can get the best education, the most gazes, and the most complex interpersonal relationships.

The stars surrounding the moon are striking, if not bright enough.

However, after Queen Polina entered the palace, this attention became a hot potato.

After all, putting aside their dissatisfaction with Queen Polina's background, those nobles who entered the palace as maids did not want to get involved in the quarrel between the king and his wife, let alone live a life of fear.

Therefore, in this very depressing environment, people who should not have entered the palace were gradually mixed into the queen's maids.

It includes the king's current mistress.

…………

……

King Obstar didn't care about Queen Polina's sudden intrusion, because after they tore their faces, this kind of scene gradually became commonplace.

On the bench covered with gorgeous fabrics, Mrs. Jeanne, who still had a charm, was lying on the chest of King Obstar, her face full of satisfaction and burnout after the fierce battle.

"I thought the queen's self-cultivation would prevent you from intruding into the king's private domain without permission." King Obstar, who was asleep, opened his eyes and did not let go of Mrs. Jeanne's arm: "Or the gods are not You have not been given the brain to absorb knowledge, so that you have not learned the word obedience in the past few years of your career as a queen."

"Your Majesty, I don't think you should insult your wife like this." Queen Polina took a deep breath, trying not to let the harsh words flow out of her not plump lips: "After all, if I were in my teens If I learned the word obedience years ago, I won’t have sex with you here against the queen’s wishes, and then give birth to our first child.”

King Obstar's lazy expression gradually disappeared from his face.

The ladies-in-waiting who followed Queen Polina all bowed their heads, as if a mountain was pressed about their necks, suffocating these often hapless silent ladies.

Queen Bolina will always say things that anger the king without thinking.

At first, the maids who served the queen were always frightened by this, but over time, they gradually became numb.

It was precisely because Queen Bolina's position was hard to shake that she acted confident.

However, this time, King Obstar did not "accommodate" her and "indulge" her as usual, but showed a pleasant smile.

But anyone who knows the king knows well that the king is always more friendly than usual when dealing with someone.

Obviously, they didn't get the expected sneer, but everyone from the maid to Queen Bolina felt that something bad had never happened before.

Even Madame Jeanne, who was nestled in the king's arms, got up lightly, and left the room with the acquiescence of King Obstar.
