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

Mariana knew that she couldn't go to Lucius directly, otherwise the conflict between the two would not only destroy the existing alliance, but also make Oster a victim of calming the anger of the two.

However, if she does nothing, then Lucius is likely to test out Mariana's tolerance for him step by step, and then use this to "control" Mariana and the people around her.

If it's Oster this time... then next time it's likely to be Bai Xue, the doctor, or even Abigail...

This is undoubtedly very unfavorable for Mariana who wants to build authority.

"You go to Ms. Lena." After Bai Xue failed to find Oster, Mariana thought of a countermeasure as quickly as possible in her life, and then told Abigail: "Let Ms. Lena tell Lucius , just say I want to treat him to afternoon tea."

Because of Abigail's status as a witch, Mariana's apparent head maid is Lena who served the former Duchess of Brittania.This arrangement not only allowed Mariana to obtain an impeccable head maid, but also appeased the Bretons who still had doubts about Mariana.

After all, after Henry's untimely death, Mariana was the only legal heir to the Grand Duchy of Aquiquie.Compared with Britannia, Mariana will undoubtedly have deeper feelings for the Grand Duchy of Aquiquie, so from a balance point of view, let a Brittany become the head of the maid who can serve Mariana, It is also a matter of reason.

Abigail went to find Lena immediately after getting the order, and even trotted the moment she left the room.

Although Lena did not make any achievements in politics when she served the former Duchess of Brittania.However, as a traditional aristocratic lady, Lena is still impeccable in taking care of the mistress's territory, being in charge of the mistress' communication list and arranging the mistress's daily life.At least not inferior to the head maid of Grand Duchess Aquique.

Mariana hoped that with Lena's appearance and the guise of having afternoon tea, she and Lucius could be given a chance.

And Lena is worthy of being the head maid personally chosen by Mariana. After she learned the general situation from Abigail, she immediately approached Lucius, and then arranged a meal suitable for the duchess at an unimaginable speed. Identity afternoon tea.

…………

……

"It seems that you are luckier than I thought." Lucius snapped his fingers, and Oster, who was imprisoned on the wall, was released.

Because of being hung for most of the day, Oster's limbs have been dislocated, and his skin has been burned by the sacred mark on the rough rope.

This is a special item used to interrogate dark creatures.

Oster did not expect that Lucius would value himself so much that the instruments of torture used on him were carefully selected, which would neither cause irreversible damage to his body nor make him feel better.

"Mariana invited me to afternoon tea, do you know why?" Lucius dropped the whip in his hand, and cleaned off the dirt on his body without singing.

After getting along for a long time, Oster has a better understanding of the strength of the Templar, and at the same time he is more aware of his attention to Marianne and his uncontrollable jealousy.

What human beings envy the elves most is their amazing learning speed and creativity.When the gods created this race, they deprived them of their "longevity gene" and "physical quality" comparable to that of half-orcs, so as compensation, human beings gained learning and creativity far superior to that of humanoids. Strength, and the enviable speed of reproduction.

Except for the nearly extinct dragon race.

There is no other race on the mainland that is more favored by the gods than humans.

This may be related to the fact that they have almost monopolized the power of faith on the mainland by relying on their numbers. Therefore, in order to win more "offerings", the gods who are not single-minded will also play some tricks secretly.

And human beings have gradually figured out the knack of influencing the gods in the open and secret struggles of the gods, and gradually become less pious.

Oster didn't feel that the pain Lucius inflicted on him was unbearable. Compared to this, he was even more desperate for the inferior strength and status between himself and Lucius.

As a drow who can go to the ground to perform missions, Oster was always the best among his peers before he was captured by the adventurer team. The qualifications for advanced studies in the "school", and thus the ability to compete with low-level priests.

Even if he failed in the mission and became a slave, Oster could use the excuse of "one enemy is many" to comfort himself.

However, when facing Lucius, Oster clearly realized that his little thoughts and self-satisfaction in the past were all blown away by Lucius' existence.

The strength you have cultivated for 200 years is not as good as the achievements of others for 20 years.

You have climbed up to the current position and still can't reach the ankles of others when they were born.

The cruelty of the world is always beyond your imagination.

And when this cruelty was torn apart in front of Oster in a rather naked way.Even if the drow elves are naturally good at disguising, they can't help but feel jealous at this moment.

Why?

Why are some people born high and arrogant.

And for an ordinary existence like him, no matter how hard he tried, he could only reach a place to look up to.

Thinking of this, Oster couldn't help exhaling from his teeth.

Lucius, who didn't wait for an answer for a long time, glanced at Oster whose hair was covering his face, then walked up to him and knelt down, grabbed Oster's hair and forced him to look up: "You haven't answered my question yet."

"Do you know why Mariana invited me to afternoon tea?"

Lucius hooked away the silver hair sticking to Oster's face, and somewhat spurned Drow's painful expression: "Don't put on such an annoying look in front of me."

If it wasn't for worrying that Mariana would get angry because of this, Lucius would definitely let Oster understand what life is like death.

"I think the female nobles in the drow society must be better at torture than me, and drow like you who can go to the ground to perform tasks must have experienced torture training."

"You are right. Compared with the mistresses of drow, your methods are too kind." Facing Lucius' contempt, Oster wanted to sarcastically, but his The instinct of obedience and desire for survival engraved in his bones still made him swallow the sarcasm that was about to roll out of his tongue, and turned to respectfully: "I know that His Royal Highness Mariana wants to give you a step down, so I let Ms. Lena arrange Afternoon tea with you."

Oster is more self-aware than Figohill, so he doesn't believe that Marianna will be angry at the crown.

Compared with worrying about her own life and death, Mariana is probably more afraid of being divorced from Lucius, or her authority being impacted.

"This time it's me..."

"Perhaps next time, you will take away Baixue, Figohill, Abigail, and even those nobles who are valued by His Royal Highness Mariana."

Even though it was difficult for Oster to think because of blood loss and dehydration, under Lucius' anger and pressure, he still found a way to escape safely: "Your sister is not only the object of your allegiance, She is the Duchess of the vast realm.”

Oster looked at Lucius' eyes looking at the dead, and said boldly: "Once her authority is questioned, especially by her closest people, what will happen to those nobles who are in the wait-and-see period?" Do?"

"Just like you, they will begin to test the limits of Her Highness Mariana's tolerance and ability to control the situation."

Feeling that the force of pulling the scalp has eased, Oster breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately put on a more humble posture: "Your Highness, you should know that many regimes collapsed due to internal disputes, rather than external attacks."

At the end, Oster also complimented: "You are Her Highness Mariana's biggest supporter. If even you start to question her and fight against her, then who can Her Highness Mariana rely on?"

Of course Lucius understood Oster's careful thinking when he said this, and he knew better how much his current behavior would affect Marianne.

However, under the influence of emotions, Lucius' proud rationality was not as easy as he thought.

Only after a little lesson to Oster, Lucius also sobered up from his anger.

And Urst was very lucky to talk about the dead point of the other party after Lucius returned to his sanity, so Lucius let go of Urst's hand, and reluctantly "praise" said: "I understand Mariana now. Why would you be reused, and why would Odin's little emperor send you here?"

After Lucius got up, he actually gave Oster a hand. After all, his limbs had been tossed by him, and Lucius couldn't return a tattered Oster to Marianne.

"Since you have such a clear understanding, you should know what you can do." Lucius, who was holding Oster, took out a bottle of advanced recovery potion from his pocket, and then poured it from the top of Oster's head.

The only "blessing" that Ulster has been tossed by Lucius is that the latter is afraid of Marianne enough, and there are quite a lot of good things that can make Urster recover quickly.

Even though he was so humiliated by Lucius, Oster still maintained a humble posture, and then licked the potion that slipped from the tip of his nose.

Tsk!It's really not ordinary bitterness.

Bearing in mind the mood at this moment, Oster decided to serve Mariana more attentively, and one day he would trample Lucius' arrogant face under his feet.

………………… I am divided………

After Ms. Lena's hint, Lucius released Oster very happily, allowing him to return to Marianne with good arms and legs.

"Remember to go to the doctor's." Considering that the reason for Oster's arrest was her own, Mariana's attitude towards the latter was much gentler, but she didn't mention asking Lucius for the crime at all.

Oster, who had long been prepared for this, carefully concealed the sarcasm and dissatisfaction in his heart, and his face still had a look of thinking for Mariana: "Thanks to you, Your Excellency Lucius is already merciful, but I didn't suffer any more."

Mariana looked Oster up and down, then sighed and said, "Come here."

Oster did as he did and half-kneeled in front of Mariana, and then watched as she put an earring on him.

"Even if it's my compensation for Lucius." Mariana felt that she was now like a scumbag emperor who was trying to balance the way. She almost killed someone in the harem, and she would still be wronged after she killed someone. That party calmed down and shut up immediately.

The pair of earrings were placed in the Gongdou drama that Marianne had watched in her previous life, and they were the supplements that the scumbag randomly gave to the unfavored concubine after she had a miscarriage.

Even if Mariana is not generally awkward at the moment, everyone from Abigail to Oster feels that Mariana is already very responsible.

After all, in the eyes of some people who are even more unscrupulous, things like slaves with a short shelf life are just slightly more expensive one-time consumables.

Turn against your family for a slave?

Are you kidding me?

Even though Mariana was used to the attitude of the people around her towards slaves.However, because of her childhood experience and the fact that she rarely had a chance to obtain her own slaves before being divorced by Odin's little emperor, Mariana still subconsciously did not treat slaves like objects.

Even if she is very clear about what she did to Oster and others, it is enough for her to be sued [-] times by human rights organizations in later generations, but...

"Are you feeling sorry for me?" Maybe it was Mariana's entanglement that softened her facial expression, so Oster boldly touched Mariana's cheek, and said in a more gentle tone: "Your Highness, you don't have to do this Blame yourself. Because I originally belonged to you, and you don’t need to misunderstand me and Your Excellency Lucius.”

"After all, you are so gentle, and the pain that His Excellency Lucius inflicted on me was just out of concern for you."

Abigail stood behind Mariana with a toothache.

If it wasn't in front of Marianne, Abigail would have patted Oster on the shoulder, gave him a thumbs up, and praised him, "You are the next concubine who can change the world."

To put it even more exaggeratedly, if there are popular words such as "Gongdouju" or "green tea" in this world, then Oster will definitely be a strong pursuer of "Akikui actor" and "the male version of the tea art master". ".

Look at this classic green tea-style speech of "You are right, it is my fault that made your brothers and sisters divorced."

Check out this classic green-tea reassurance of "I'm wronged a little bit, as long as your brother-sister relationship isn't ruined."

If Abigail had been given a little more time, she would have been able to pick out more questions from Oster's speech, and then put Mariana on the shoulder to remind her to wake up.

It's a pity that the current Mariana seems to have a slightly increased tolerance for the drow elves because of the legacy of the hangover and the fact that Oster's performance last night was beyond her imagination.

After all, Gongdou!

An emperor and a concubine are very different experiences.

Especially when the party in control wants to settle the matter for peace, and there is no scum to the end, the benefits of obedience will undoubtedly be more than that of opposing the other party.

And if you take advantage of the situation to appease the other party with a few words, express a gesture of "I don't resent at all".

So……

"Go to the doctor and show you." Mariana, who was still sane, reminded herself that "Lucius is far more important than Oster", and after giving Oster some symbolic compensation, she did not make any more than Oster. The action Bigel expected.

[Nice job. 】

Abigail, who was so anxious behind her back, heaved a sigh of relief, and lamented that Mariana was indeed the woman she followed, and she was very different from those women who were so emotional that they could easily shake their positions.

However, Abigail still underestimated Oster's green tea level and speaking skills.

After being comforted by Mariana, Oster lowered his voice to Mariana: "Then do you still need me tonight?"

As we all know, people who have prescribed meat are completely different from those who have not.

Although Mariana didn't make the last step with Oster, she didn't mind that the other party continued to serve her.

only……

"Forget it today." Thinking about Lucius' violent reaction and Oster's physical condition, Marianna flatly refused, "I'll think about it after you recover from your injury."

In fact, Oster didn't expect Mariana to agree to him.

After all, the existence of Lucius is too domineering, so whether it is Oster, Bai Xue, or Abigail, they have to avoid his edge for the time being, but...

"With your promise, I will always wait for you."

Oster is well aware that his relationship with Mariana has made slight progress.

Although this progress is not enough for him to become Mariana's heart-to-heart existence, the days are still long!Coupled with the succession of the new saint, as a Templar, Lucius must return to the Papal State to serve the saint, so Oster has enough time and confidence to put on shoes for Lucius in front of Mariana.

After all, although the brother-sister relationship is strong, it will not be stronger than the absolute control relationship of one party over the other.

…………… I am the dividing line……………

"Your Majesty, His Majesty the King has written a letter to the Grand Duchess Aquique again." In Obsta's court, Queen Polina's maid whispered in the hostess's ear after receiving the report: "Although the The content is about the marriage between the two princes and the Duchess of Brittania, but..."

"But what?" Queen Polina threw down the needlework in her hand, her facial features twisted: "Could it be that the noble King Obusta is going to pursue a woman he once abandoned? This is really unprecedented. joke."

As she grew older, Queen Polina became more and more nervous, even to the point of making the maids and servants miserable.

At first she just rejected those handsome court maids, expelling them under various names.

After King Obstar didn't react much, Queen Polina turned her attention to those attendants who could influence the king.

After all, the king's servants, like the queen's maids, are of noble origin.Even their status is higher than that of court maids. After all, many cardinals and powerful generals have served as the king's attendants.

Besides, because of Felipe's public coming out of the closet, and because the court never shy away from homosexual affairs, Queen Polina was very worried that the reason why King Obusta had no interest in those beautiful maids was because he His lover is by his side, and it is also an existence that he cannot shake.

Ever since, when King Obstar changed his attendants twice, not only the nobles who were dissatisfied with Queen Polina, but even King Obstar himself began to get angry with Queen Polina : "You'd better keep your identity in mind at all times, and then turn a blind eye to everything about me, or I will let you go out immediately like the Grand Duchess Aquique."

It was the first time that King Obstar got angry at Queen Polina. His distorted expression and exaggerated movements even scared Princess Innes who came to find her mother.

"I can tolerate the Grand Duchess Aquique because of her identity and relationship with my parents. But I will never allow you to start and end like her after you angered me." King Obstar said directly Pushing Queen Polina to the corner, even the other party could feel the king's heavy breathing and the spittle sprayed on the face.

"If I get tired of you one day, then I will let your father, your mother, your brothers and sisters, and even yourself stand on the execution platform." After King Obstar warned his wife, he still did not forget to say goodbye to the scared His daughter exhorted: "Remember my warning to your mother, and at the same time use your mother as a negative example."

In front of Princess Innes, King Obstar did not save Queen Polina's face at all, and even his tone to his daughter was not gentle: "Remember the virtues that a woman should have, and then remind your mother not to cross the line .”

"Yes." Princess Innes, who was frightened by her father for the first time since she was born, hurriedly saluted.

The posture of being so weak that he would faint at any time made King Obstar's face slightly calm, and at the same time he became more and more dissatisfied with Queen Polina.

It's a pity that King Obstar's warning still failed to be remembered by Queen Polina.

Although Queen Polina restrained herself after their first quarrel, after the three children grew older and Princess Innes gradually became the favorite child of King Obsta, Polina The queen's temper and courage also recovered, and then she used a more secret way to exclude those who were deeply loved by the king.

Even if the "secret" in her eyes is enough to be called "naked" in the eyes of some people.

"What did the king write in the letter?" Queen Polina's full breasts rose and fell with her breathing.

The maid didn't dare to answer, so she could only pass some of the copied documents to Queen Polina.

After the latter took over, he directly omitted those cumbersome diplomatic words and discussed the formal content of the marriage between the two princes and the Duchess of Brittania, and then focused on the king's greetings and signatures.

"I beg you to tell me your wish, to know if I have a place in your heart. Although I have caused indelible scars to a proud soul, but in our love, and the relationship beyond husband and wife Please give me a gentle answer."

"The signature is... His Majesty the King who will always be loyal to you and love you more than himself."

The maid noticed that Queen Polina's voice was getting lower and lower, and the arm holding the letter was also drooping weakly after reading the signature.
