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

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I don't know when Your Excellency Lucius will come." Grisa lowered her eyelashes of the same color as her hair, looking like a beauty who came out of a world of ice and snow.Although he did know that Lucius would not be able to return to the Papal State until the end of this year, but in order to stabilize the mood of the saint, Griza still made the choice he thought was the most correct.

"Your Excellency Lucius is not only a Templar, but also the head of the Knights of Aquiqui. Although the Papal State borders the Grand Duchy of Aquiqui, it cannot roughly interfere with the arrangements made by the Grand Duchess of Aquiqui for Lucius."

In short, just stay on the front line so that we can meet each other in the future.

Even if the dispute over the priority of theocracy and royal power has been debated for thousands of years, there is no conclusion, but on the bright side, the rulers of various countries and the pope will not openly tear their faces.

Even if countries recognize that the priesthood is more important than their national functions, if there is an emergency, or the parties and their lords want to give priority to their national duties, then the Papal State is unlikely to forcibly interfere with the other party's choice.

Of course, this also depends on the person.

And an important member like Lucius has to be blurred, and must not become the desire for a collision between the two countries' diplomacy or even the theocracy and kingship.

Glisa hopes to divert Abela's attention, and it is best not to hold on to Lucius' problem.

However, the saint who was only a teenager didn't feel Griza's good intentions. After all, the life of the Papal State was too difficult, so it's no wonder that Abela and even the saints in the past would pay attention to the saint. On the Templar Knights.

"I'm the saint of the church, why doesn't he pay attention to me at all?" Abella and Glisa strolled in the garden of the Papal State.

And behind them, a group of clergymen in charge of taking care of Abela kept a distance from the two who would not intervene in the conversation, but they never took their eyes off Abela, obviously worried about the Holy Maidens and the temple. What happened to the knight.

After all, this is not without precedent in the history of the Papal States.

"Your Highness, I don't think you need to prove your authority through the existence of Templar Knights. After all, you are a saint recognized by all gods. This is unquestionable." Griza and Abela maintained a similar He even deliberately pinched the side of the cloak to prevent his clothing from touching Abela.

"Besides, His Royal Highness Lucius has always been the most loyal guardian of the temple. You would never think that he is in the mood to develop a romantic relationship with an elegant lady despite his busy work and his oath to the church. "Griza's gentle voice made Abela unable to hear the hints in his words.

However, most young girls are very sensitive to emotions, so Abela still sensed that there was something wrong with Glisa's expression, but the other party acted too gentlemanly and gentle, so Abela only thought that Glisa was comforting herself , By the way, excuse Lucius.

"But even if he can't come back immediately to serve me, he should send a letter explaining his current situation." Abella subconsciously said to Glisa, "You are the kindest to me among the Templars, just like Same as my brother."

Glisa recalled the rumors that Cantero was secretly cultivating saintess candidates, and wondered whether Abella was playing dumb, or if she really didn't understand why she was able to participate in the selection of saintesses.

Fortunately, at this moment, the priest who had been following behind them suddenly said, "Your Highness, the former saintess will come to teach you soon, please go back quickly."

The relaxed smile on Abela's face immediately disappeared without a trace.

She turned her head, only to see a cold and hard face pressed up easily, making Abela breathless.

Seeing this, Glisa breathed a sigh of relief, and said before Abela said, "In that case, then I won't disturb your studies, and I wish you all the best."

After that, Griza bid farewell to Abela, but after Abela walked away, Griza still looked back and couldn't help but sighed: "Poor girl."

The evil god squatting above let out a sneer, obviously mocking Griza's post-event tenderness and Abela's childishness.

But for some reason, after the evil god sneered, Griza actually glanced in the direction of the evil god, with a rather confused expression on his face.

"Is it an illusion?" Griza narrowed her eyes slightly as she stared at the deserted roof.

Seeing this, the evil god also put away his casual smile, and began to face up to the Templar who could sense his existence.

"It seems that the Pope's country is not all waste." After Griza left, the evil god drove in the direction of Abela.

…………… I am the dividing line……………

Compared with other gladiators Figohill had seen, Chris was undoubtedly the clean type.Gein, who grew up in the Colosseum, always wanted to have a comfortable and comfortable home, so even during the days of playing games, Chris would find time to clean up the house.

In this regard, Mantura also laughed at himself and gave birth to a fake son.

However, after Figohill moved in, Lucian would also help clean up the house when he came, and then sew the game suits of Chris and Figohill.

"She's such a lovely girl, isn't she?" Mantura looked at the Figohill brothers and sisters who were talking, and communicated with Chris: "I don't mind if you go after Lucian, but if you want to Together, it is best not to have children."

Chris was not usually speechless to his mother's words, but he still patiently argued: "I don't have that kind of feeling for Lucian. She is Figohill's younger sister, and I don't want to lose a source of income."

"When I was your age, I thought I would never fall in love in my life." Mantura made a face after her son's defense, saying that she didn't care about Chris's words at all: "In the end, I was deceived by a scumbag." , and gave birth to you in a cell in the Colosseum."

"Then do you regret it?"

"No, I only regret that I didn't give you a normal childhood, which caused you to be chained to the Colosseum like me." After being "redempted" in advance, Mantura's relaxed expression also became dignified: "Actually, your biological father is not a complete scum, at least he is willing to pay a lot of money before he pats his ass and leaves. Unlike those bastards who often go to humanoid brothels... that is even garbage It's not as good as existence."

Speaking of this, Mantura held his son's hand tightly, and his voice became deeper and deeper: "So Chris, try to find an ordinary human girl to marry, and don't let your child become a half-breed or a Colosseum girl." slave."

"You are already very lucky to be born in the Grand Duchy of Aquique. If you were in Cantero, Odin, or even those northern countries with difficult conditions, you would not be able to live to a sensible age."

…………

……

And when Mantura's mother and son were whispering, Lucian also explained various things to Figohill like an old mother: "I've arranged your clothes and medicines, you don't want to put them in three days. The house is a mess, and besides, I don't spend much money in the court, and the money you earn from the Colosseum is kept for yourself, and you don't need to share it with me."

Figohill would only show an obedient attitude in front of Lucian, but after Lucian said "no money", he still stubbornly stuffed a money bag for his sister: "Take it! You will always be useful When we go up."

Even if Lucian doesn't want to play the game like Figohill, the latter still has thick calluses and small scars on his hands.

Although there are all kinds of scar removal services in the temple, except for those dignitaries or senior adventurers who have retired, the public will not waste money on this service.

The work in Aquique's court was not heavy, and Lucian served Mariana, so no servant who didn't have eyes would dare to wear small shoes for her.However, Figohill had seen too many creatures who acted one way or another behind the scenes, and was even more worried that Lucian's identity as a half-blood elf would cause her to be bullied when Marianne left.

"How are you doing in the Aquique court?" Figohill asked as usual before Lucian was about to return to the Aquiqui court: "Marianna... is she okay with you?"

It is really strange to say.

A few months ago, Figohill would never have had any good impression of Mariana, but after experiencing the baptism of "social beating" and "distance is beauty", Figohill would not use "saint" to describe her. Evaluate Mariana, but subconsciously think she is a good person.

At least compared to those nobles who went to the Colosseum to have fun, Mariana was so "normal", even so "normal" that Figohill began to reflect on his previous attitude towards her, and then some inexplicable feelings burst out from the bottom of his heart. affection.

If Mariana knew about Figohill's mental activities, she would definitely tell him that this was not a positive expression of feelings, but the "Stockholm" syndrome.

It's a pity that Lucian's reaction was stronger than Figohill's, and she even labeled Mariana a "good guy".

"His Royal Highness Mariana is very busy on weekdays, so we don't have much chance to meet each other." Lucian was the most daring of the female elves rescued by Mariana, so she dared to walk around the Aquiqui palace.

Unlike the other two female elves, unless Abigail took the initiative to find them, they would never leave the room for half a step.

"His Royal Highness Mariana asked Abigail to apply for a monthly salary for us, and on weekdays, she can get some kitchen snacks in the name of Her Highness Mariana." Because the life in Aquiqui's court was too comfortable, Lucian's complexion It was much better than when she left Segante, and there were more cheerful smiles on her face.

"Marianna... Your Highness allows you to go to the kitchen to get food in her name?" Figohill felt a little inconceivable, after all, he had heard that the Grand Duchess of Aquique was a very serious person, and Mariana was not A... slave who would pamper herself so much under her mother's nose.

"I doubted this at first like you, but Abigail is much more presumptuous than us, so as long as it is not too much, no one will care about these small things." Lucian stayed in the Aquique court for so long For a long time, I have seen many mobile service personnel take home things that are not needed.

The premise is that they did not make a profit for this, or cause the purchase amount of the Aquikwe court to attract the attention of the Grand Duchess.

"By the way, the grilled meat and fruit I brought are also from Aquique's kitchen." Lucian said before leaving, "Because Count Calda is back, a lot of meat is prepared in the palace every day." , seafood, and a variety of desserts. Even today, a whole lamb was roasted as the main course for the meeting between Count Calda and His Royal Highness Mariana, but they only ate the tenderest part of the roasted lamb, so the rest It was all divided equally by the people below."

"Count Calda? You mean the father of Her Majesty Marianne is back?" Figohill was the first time anyone had heard of the husband of the Grand Duchess of Aquique. The impression was very monotonous, and he couldn't even think of what kind of impression he could leave on people after removing the identities of "Prince Obsta" and "Grand Princess Aquique".

Of course, at this point.

Figohill could imagine that the relationship between Mariana and Count Calda would never be called "intimate".Especially after thinking of how competent he and Lucian's parents were, and how Marianne's mother had arranged for her three unreliable fiancés, Figohill suddenly felt that Marianna was a bit pitiful.

At least the elf's sentimentality appeared to Figohill at this moment.

And Lucian is worthy of being Figohill's younger sister, so she went directly with her brother.

"Did you know? Earl Calda didn't return to the Grand Duchy of Aquiquie alone, he brought his illegitimate children with him." Lucian couldn't help taking a breath for Mariana when he thought of the meeting tonight: "Everything Everyone is guessing what the Grand Duchess Aquiquie thinks, and some people even think that the reason Her Royal Highness Mariana accepted the meeting with Count Calda was because of her parents’ coercion.”

"I don't know how she will be targeted tonight."

Hearing this, Figohill subconsciously stopped drinking water, and didn't finish drinking the water in the glass until he sent Lucian out the door.

…………

……

As soon as Lucian returned to the workshop, she saw Abigail picking up clothes for Marianne.

After getting along for this period of time, Lucy'an is not as afraid of Abigail as she was when she first came here, but because of the opposing positions between elves and witches, and Abigail's boss status, Lucy still retains her respect for Abigail. My respect...and a little fear.

"To see your brother again?" Abigail waited for the elf maid to iron out Abigail's ribbon, and replenished her energy before the meeting between Count Karda and Marianne.

Before Lucian came to the Aquiqui palace, it was really hard to imagine that a meal could take so long.

But this is commonplace for Mariana.

To make matters worse, the food that was served was prepared ahead of time, so it was difficult for them to get a hot bite at Marianna.

It is no wonder that drinks and snacks are the most consumed at the banquet.

"Hmm! My brother has a good life near the Colosseum, and he seems to be used to the Colosseum." Lucian thought that Abigail was asking about the current situation of Figohill for Mariana, so after careful consideration A relatively safe answer was given.

Little did they know that if Mariana really wanted to get the exact news about Figohill, she would not have sent Abigail to ask Lucian, but instead had the scavenger directly monitor Figohill.

Although Abigail was inferior to Mariana in heart and mind, it was not something that Lucian could easily fool.

It seems that Mariana's plan to use Luciana to contain Figohill was very successful.

As long as Figohill stays in the Colosseum for a few more months, Mariana will be able to carry out the second phase of the plan smoothly.

"Really? Then I wish him more wins in the Colosseum. Anyway, participating as a human will not be life-threatening." Abigail just asked casually, which made Lucian a little relieved. tone.

…………

……

Mariana never imagined that she would one day have dinner with her father and half-brother.

Because Selah would easily feel nervous in front of Marianne, Count Karda discussed with Selim and decided not to let Selah attend today's meeting.

And after everyone was seated, the murderous atmosphere on the dining table made it hard to imagine that this was the "family gathering" that the Grand Duchess Aquique called.

"It's a touching picture." Mariana's seat forms an equilateral triangle with Earl Karda and Selim, but in terms of control, it is Mariana who firmly controls the other two: "I thought Father, you I will never appear in the court of Aquique in this life, let alone bring you and Ms. Agnes's children here."

You must know that before today, Earl Karda didn't even dare to take them to the Obsta court, let alone let the Selim brothers and sisters appear in the Aquiqui palace.

Even after the death of Queen Mary, King Obstar expressed goodwill to Count Calda for various reasons, but for the safety of Agnès and the children, Count Calda rarely allowed them to leave his territory.

Like a mother hen guarding her cubs.

Facing a legitimate daughter who is not close to him, Count Calda has even more headaches than when he faced the Grand Duchess of Aquique.

After all, the latter has at least ten years of love as a base, and Marianna...

Count Calda felt guilty one after another, even ignoring Marianne's rude tone.

Selim knew that his father was easily led by his family, so he tried to wake up Count Calda from his guilt: "In fact, my father also kept a certain distance from you out of consideration for the Grand Duchess of Aquique. .”

Mariana looked at her half-brother.

It has to be said that among Earl Calda's children, except for Henry who let himself go, the rest have a pretty good image.

Compared with Lucius, Selim was a little less indifferent and aloof, and a little more intimidating.

"If my existence makes you feel uncomfortable, then I am sorry for that." Selim knew that all explanations about his identity would be labeled as "hypocrisy", so he said as sincerely as possible in front of Mariana. : "I don't think you will agree to today's meeting just to condemn your father."

"What if I was forced to come here by the Grand Duchess Aquique?"

"That's even more impossible." As the eldest son of the family, Selim is naturally more mature than his younger siblings, and knows how to read words and actions.

After all, Count Karda and Agnès are not very capable of supporting the scene, so Selim can't "fight his father" in the knight training camp.

"If you would unconditionally obey the orders of the Grand Duchess of Aquique after you have the status of the Duchess of Britannia, then my father and I would not be here." Selim knew very well those ambitious How much the illegitimate children hope that the legal heir of the family is an idiot, so that they can seize the power and wealth in the family in the name of "assistant".

It's a pity that Mariana is a hundred distances away from an idiot, King Obstar.

Besides, Selim was not blind, knowing that if Marianna was unable to perform her duties like the former Duchess of Brittania, then it would not be him who assisted her, but Lucius, who had superior ability and bloodlines.

"It seems that I want to change my judgment on you." Marianne touched her chin, her tone was much more relaxed than before: "You seem to be a smart person, and I also like working with smart people."

Count Karda, who was robbed by his son, felt an indescribable stomachache when he saw Marianna like this.

After all, Marianne was inclined towards the Grand Duchess of Aquiquie in appearance, and after she became the Duchess of Brittania, this resemblance was so high that Count Calda felt uncomfortable.

Facing Mariana's compliment, Selim did not say a few words of modesty like ordinary people, but showed a smile with big white teeth: "Thank you for your compliment. I also hope that your compliment to me can turn into trust in me .”

"Isn't it a sign of my trust that I would agree to meet you?" Mariana, who had never been hit by a straight ball, said half-truthfully, "Or are you not confident enough in yourself?"

"It's not a question of lack of self-confidence." Selim didn't get carried away by Mariana's words: "After all, your trust can only be decided by yourself. Neither I nor my father have the power to influence you."

As soon as these words came out, Mariana didn't know whether Selim was really innocent, or whether he was an acting expert and a master of speech.

Thinking about it this way, Marianne decided to find a breakthrough in Count Calda: "I think you must have brought a big gift to Grand Duchess Aquique this time."

"It's not a big gift for your mother, but a big gift for you." Count Calda didn't know whether the Grand Duchess Aquique had told Mariana about their plan to seize the throne of Obsta, so after a brief After some hesitation, he chose to only talk about the ownership of the Earl of Karda.

"The Grand Duchess Aquique hopes that I will transfer the ownership of the Earl of Calda to you, and complete the formalities before Henry's funeral."

"Sounds like a happy event." Mariana didn't show a look of joy, and even looked at Selim's expression specially: "It's just that if you do it now, won't you be afraid of Obsta's suspicion?"

Just like what Richard said, Mariana never believed that King Obstar would allow her to successfully inherit the Earl of Karda.

Maybe after Earl Karda passed away, King Obstar would take back the Earl of Karda with untenable reasons.
