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

"Your Majesty...I think His Majesty the King is not trying to pursue the Grand Duchess Aquique again, but out of consideration for the future of Obsta, so..." The maid serving Queen Polina didn't go away in a rage He asked the king to settle accounts, and he didn't vent his anger by throwing cups and jewelry in the room, so he said frightenedly: "You also know about abandonment...I mean the Duchess of Brittany is the most valuable in the south and even in the whole continent." heiress, so..."

"I know what he wants, and I know that with his pride, it is impossible to turn back." Queen Polina was just nervous, not stupid to the end, so she interrupted the maid's reassurance very rudely: "He has already Regret abandoning Grand Duchess Aquique, regret marrying me, and even regret not getting rid of me sooner."

Queen Polina sniffled, handed back the copy of the letter to the maid, and motioned for her to burn it quickly: "I know how stupid I am, especially after marrying him... I worry about him almost all the time It will abolish my status, or hang our family on the city wall."

"No, Your Majesty, I think you are worrying too much." The maid squatted in front of Queen Polina and tried to persuade her, "For the sake of the two princes and Princess Innes, His Majesty the King cannot abolish you."

Because the maid's family is inextricably linked to Queen Polina's family, once Queen Polina falls, the first to be impacted are those who are attached to the queen.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty the King is old, and he can no longer cultivate a qualified successor, so what reason does he have to abolish you, and then let the two princes and Princess Innes become illegitimate children."

"What if...if he doesn't want to abolish me, but kills me directly!" Queen Polina became more and more frightened as she thought about it: "In order to coax the Duchess of Britannia and even the Grand Lady Aquique, he still has to What can't be done?"

Queen Polina pointed at the maid's chest as she spoke, and her expression became weeping and laughing: "His Majesty the King now has absolute power, and my children are gradually becoming disobedient... especially Those two bastards vying for the throne."

Thinking of the two princes who were drifting away from her, Queen Polina could no longer use her children as a reason to comfort herself: "Compared to the throne, what is a mother..."

"Your Majesty..." The maid was so frightened that she looked left and right, and after making sure that no one around heard Queen Polina's astonishing words, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then said nervously, "Why did you say that?"

"Why did you say that? I'm just proposing a possibility." Queen Polina supported her forehead, feeling her palms were burning hot: "They needed me to strengthen the king's favor for them, and by the way suppress Lucius. The illegitimate children... But now, they don't need a notorious mother and queen."

Queen Polina has a very clear understanding of her status.

Don't look at her always stepping on King Obstar's high-tension line to live, and even offended a group of people who shouldn't be offended.But judging from the situation in front of her, she at least kept her own status and the inheritance rights of her children.

If Queen Polina doesn't look down on Her Majesty the king who is staring at him, then even without the Grand Duchess Aquique, there will still be daughters of great nobles and offshoots of the royal family who can become queens in the country.

One of the sequelae of the indistinct family background is that King Obstar can abolish Polina's queen status without the discussion of the noble council and the Pope's permission.

Even if she has three adult heirs with the king.

But the Obstar royal family is not extinct, and the king is not too old to marry a young and noble wife.

"What if my sons and His Majesty the King take me as a lottery to please the Duchess of Brittania?" Queen Polina said with empty eyes: "The Duchess of Britannia will never bow to me, And I also..."

"It is not important enough to make His Majesty the King give up the Grand Duchy of Aquique and the Duchy of Britannia again."

"Your Majesty..." The maid had never seen Queen Polina so frightened.

But thinking about what the other party said carefully, this hair-raising guess is not impossible.

After all, the Duchess of Britannia, Marianne, is the most valuable heiress on the mainland. Even if King Obstar is willing to marry half of the territory to Princess Innes, it is definitely not as good as the Duchy of Britannia and The size of the Grand Duchy of Aquiquie.

Not to mention that the engagement between Princess Innes and Emperor Odin has not yet passed the aristocratic councils of the two countries, so legally, they are not considered an unmarried couple.

Moreover, after Marianne became the Duchess of Brittania, Odin's attitude towards Obstar changed significantly.

Although in the dispute about Tuscadia, Odin needed to use Obstar to strengthen himself, but in actual actions, Odin did not fulfill his promise to send troops to support Obstar. After notifying King Obstar, a peace settlement agreement was signed with Seys of Cantero.

It can be said that once Odin and Cantero have no territorial disputes, then Obsta is very likely to fall into an embattled situation.

And Mariana...

"I must prevent the Duchess of Britannia from marrying into the royal family." At the moment of her life, Queen Polina didn't care about the national interests and the future of her children, she just wanted to save her own life.

Even if this will plant a hidden danger enough for Obstar to destroy the country.

Hearing Queen Polina's murmur, the maid didn't raise any objection after a brief struggle.

After all, she has been bound to Queen Polina for so long, even if she wants to get off this boat, it is impossible.

…………… I am the dividing line………

"Since I came back from Odin, this is the first time we sat down and had a good chat." After finishing Oster, Marianne had afternoon tea with Lucius again.

Because of his bad mood, Lucius did not dress meticulously as usual, but wore the clothes he used to interrogate Oster, and then loosely tied up his half-length red hair, posing in a The look of a swinger.

When Mariana took her seat, she could even see a small piece of very attractive chest muscles through Lucius' slightly open white shirt.

"Can you get your clothes on?" Mariana, who didn't want to admire the beautiful scenery, looked away.

"It's not like I'm standing in front of you with no clothes on. Besides, you've seen me look even more sloppy, so what's the matter now." Lucius wanted to go too far, but considering that Marianne didn't come alone, So I restrained a lot when I spoke: "But judging by your current attitude, I regret not being able to peel off that drow's skin."

"Will you?" Mariana asked back: "Will you sell my things?"

Lucius looked at Mariana with a gloomy expression.

Because of the drooping bangs, the Templar's appearance was more sinister.But it is not like the succubus, which is slightly frivolous and evil, but has an indescribable sense of oppression.

In the end, Lucius let out a long sigh, and the tiredness on his face was even worse than after not sleeping all night, and he continued to interrogate for most of the day: "You know very well that I have nothing to do with you."

"...And you are also aware of the distance between us." Mariana didn't want to expose what both of them knew, so she said cryptically: "You are a very moral person, even if the Templars in the south add up, No one more qualified to be the head of the Templars than you."

"Sometimes I really hate this sense of morality." In front of Mariana, Lucius buttoned his chest little by little, and then tied up his loosely tied hair, looking more energetic than before A lot, and a lot more serious: "If I didn't have this sense of morality... maybe I wouldn't act like a coward."

"Sticking to the bottom line is not an act of cowards." Mariana clenched her fists on the table and decided to make a break with Lucius: "We are still brothers and sisters and a community of interests, and this relationship will never end until one party dies." will change."

"You're right, this relationship will never change." Lucius got up and said, "Maybe I should re-examine myself, and then move forward with you."

"Aren't you going to Obstar with me?" Mariana looked at Lucius' back and lamented that the afternoon tea was so short that even the guests didn't have time to finish a cup of tea.

"Compared to accompanying you to Obstar, I need to calm down more." Lucius forced himself to say something against his will: "And you are no longer a little girl who needs my protection."

"Marianna, thank you for waking me up."

[Thank you also for keeping me from becoming what I hate the most. 】

…………

……

Abigail didn't dare to speak until Lucius' figure disappeared: "Is this the end?"

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Mariana leaned back in the chair, so that Abigail could not see her expression, nor could she hear the emotion in her voice clearly.

"He is my brother, and he can only be my brother."

"You humans have a really high sense of morality in this regard." Abigail felt that even if she stayed in human society for another ten years, she would not be able to truly understand human behavior patterns: "Even if you can't talk to Lu Xiu If Si stays together in a fair manner, he can also be a secret lover!"

Lena, who was by Mariana's side, almost couldn't control her expression, but thinking about Lucius' conditions and the way siblings get along, she felt that this possibility existed.

After all, the environment of the royal family is not ordinary depression, and under this depression, no matter what kind of twisted relationship develops, it is not worth being surprised.

Not to mention half-brothers and sisters like Lucius and Mariana, Lena has seen even more appalling existences.

"It's not me who can't accept this relationship, but Lucius." Mariana didn't have to look back to know that Abigail and Lena must be thinking wrong: "I don't care about other people's eyes, and I won't get too entangled in it." It's been a long time, but Lucius is different, even if he acts impulsively because of jealousy now, there will be a day when he wakes up and blames himself."

"Is self-blame such a big deal?" Abigail asked more and more puzzled.

Mariana looked at her expressionlessly, making the latter swallow subconsciously.

"Lucius is a person who is easy to fall into a dead end." Mariana explained: "Since he can join the temple, it means that his moral sense is higher than that of ordinary people. Besides, he is better than the Grand Duchess Aquique and Earl Karda cares more about me, maybe after this matter falls apart, he will kill himself in order to save my reputation."

"Are you sure Lucius has a high sense of morality?" Abigail showed an expression of "I'm afraid you're not kidding me": "He doesn't have a good look at me and Oster."

"Can you expect the Templars who guard the church to have a good face on heresy?" Mariana asked back: "If Lucius really protects you from chivalry, then the Templar should reflect on whether it has chosen the wrong person. Besides, compared to me, Lucius' moral sense is so high that he can be called a saint."

"Indeed..." Thinking about what Mariana had done in Britannia, Abigail felt that Lucius was indeed a good person.

After all, he accused the nobles of indiscriminate crimes, threw away the regent of Brittany and the Wilson family after defrauding them, and robbed most of their family property, and even lured the devil to work for him for nothing. , are by no means a good person, or even a normal person can do it.

Yet Mariana not only did it, she did it quite simply.

From this point of view, Lucius really doesn't look like Mariana's blood relative.

After all, from the Grand Duchess Aquique to the Earl of Calda, and even Lucius' scumbag father who never took care of him, they are not good people.

But if you want to say who is the most similar to Lucius among his blood relatives, on the contrary, Philip, who also joined the church, and Prince Dunawa, who has passed away for many years, have a very high sense of morality.

As for Queen Mary...

Forget it, that's a lunatic who left a psychological shadow on Seyes. I don't know how the gentle Prince Dunawa fell in love with Queen Mary, and even gave up his dream of becoming a cardinal and even the Pope because of this.

So for a long time, Mariana speculated that Prince Duna was "forced to marry" by Queen Mary.In this regard, Prince Dunova did not give any explanation, but as always served as a moderator between Queen Mary and her courtiers, and never asked to be crowned king - even though Queen Mary mentioned this matter more than once , he refused both the title of king and the coronation.

Even after the death of Prince Duna, his epitaph still uses the title of prince instead of "king consort".

"Being able to give birth to a son like Lucius is a miracle between my mother and King Obstar." Mariana sighed: "If the time of the first pregnancy of the Grand Duchess Aquique was a little different, then Maybe she'll give birth to three monsters."

"My dear Highness, you are not a monster, but the chosen one who brings justice." Lena said suddenly: "Please allow me to speak without authorization, but sometimes, the disaster brought by a kind person is far from better than a villain."

"And that's not uncommon in history."

…………… I am the dividing line………………

"Could it be that the mission of the saint is to pray for all living beings in the purification tower day after day, year after year, and then occasionally be surrounded by Templar knights and be a beautiful vase in front of everyone?" Staying in the Pope's country Abela, who had been here for nearly three months, finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Am I here to be a saint, or to learn the rules?"

After all, she also handed over all the materials in front of her, and said dissatisfied with the former saint who taught her: "It doesn't matter if you don't learn these **** things, the key is when will I be able to hold a parade of nations? This is very important for the saint and the pope." For the country, it is an important part of consolidating authority.”

"You are right. The parade of saintesses is indeed of extraordinary significance, but that is based on the premise that your presence can strengthen the authority of the Papal State, rather than adding trouble to the Papal State." Facing Abela's lack of cooperation , the former saintess acted very calmly, even to the point where Abela thought she was a dummy.

"Judging from your current performance, His Majesty the Pope will never approve your parade ceremony." The former saintess used magic to sort out Abela's scattered materials, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "And the etiquette you want to learn is not □, but a tool for introspection and the normal functioning of the Papal State."

"Self-examination? Are you questioning the vision of the gods?" Abela has always been raised and raised. Even after entering the Papal Kingdom, the attitude of the people around her was a little cold, but the tone was respectful dear.

Regarding this, the former saintess was not surprised and said: "Looking at your current appearance, you can understand why the Papal State has set a code of conduct to restrain the saints. After all, your task is to convey the will of God and pray for all peoples. As for guiding believers and revising existing religious laws, there are professionals to handle it."

"After all, your life experience is not enough to support you to make a wiser judgment than His Majesty the Pope and the cardinals."

"Is this what you mean?" Abela, who was locked up unbearably, narrowed her beautiful eyes, looked at the former saint with a rather arrogant attitude, and her tone gradually became ironic: "In my opinion Come on, you didn't come here to teach me at all, but to vent your dissatisfaction in your heart."

"Your Highness, I think you are worrying too much." The former saint tried her best to suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart, and said as gently as possible: "I have no reason against you, nor do I have the idea of ​​passive sabotage. Even if the gods are here, I can't Prove that everything I said is false."

"Really? It's a pity that I am the person most favored by the gods now." Abela shook her head, and then stuck out her tongue at the former saint: "You are definitely jealous that I replaced your seat, And took away the Templars who once served you."

The former saintess stared at Abela in silence, and finally said: "I take back what I said before. My dissatisfaction with you now is your frivolous expression just now. As your predecessor, I hold the only I would like to remind you with a respectful and responsible attitude, if your face is not paralyzed or your brain is kicked by a donkey, you should not make such a behavior of sticking out your tongue that you think is cute."

"An adult should behave like an adult. Although you are still a few years away from becoming an adult, because of your special status as a saint, you should behave like a decent lady in advance."

"Besides, I'm not jealous that you replaced me, or that the Templars who were loyal to me have become your vassals." The former saint said indifferently as always: "The moment I became a saint Knowing that I will one day leave this position, and that the membership of the Templars is not constant during my tenure."

The former saint felt that she still overestimated Abela.

Apart from being able to respond to the call of the gods better than the previous saintesses and possessing more outstanding magical talents, Abella does not have the qualifications to become a saintess.

Neither self-discipline nor consciousness is worthy of this position that needs to bear countless pressures.

"As for the Knights Templar, I hope you only regard them as your friends, mentors, and passers-by who need to say goodbye one day." With loyalty and worries for the Pope, the former saint still dutifully reminded: " They stand by your side out of their loyalty to the church and their personal ideals, and please be their guide instead of destroying them for your own selfish desires."

"It sounds so good, don't you have any selfishness?" Abella was adopted by a noble family when she was young, so she thinks she has seen a lot of dirty things: "I remember that you were born as a commoner and became a saint It must be the peak of your life, don't you have... the slightest desire to climb up?"

"No." The former saint said frankly: "My character is not suitable for those young men who are striving to make progress, and my ideal is not to marry into the noble or royal family. As the former saint, I am very grateful to the gods for choosing me , the church has nurtured me, so it is time for me to give back to them and bring the gospel of God to the common people."

Speaking of this, the former saint also kindly reminded: "Your Highness, one day you will return to the ranks of ordinary people like me, so instead of being too close to the Templars, I think you should think about how to use it. The status of a saint to benefit the general public."

"I already have a detailed plan for this, so I don't need you to remind me." Abela seemed to have listened to the words of the former saint, so she obediently picked up the study materials and decided to be a good student for the time being.

As for what happened next...

It can only be said that neither the former saint nor the Templars guarding Abela expected her to do that, and even almost dragged the Pope into a quagmire.

…………

……

"Thanks for your hard work." Grisa nodded to the former saint when she sent her away, and said, "Your contribution to the Papal Kingdom is obvious to all, and I hope that Her Majesty the Holy Maiden can learn admirable qualities from you." .”

"I can't afford to be praised as a role model for the saint." The former saint and Griza are also old acquaintances. After all, before she left office, Griza had served her for two years: "I just hope I didn't make you , and His Majesty the Pope is disappointed."

"How could it be?" Grisa gave a relatively simple knight salute to the former saint, but when he sent her out of the purification tower, he saw Lucius who had returned to the Papal State.
