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

"How much can Colin do now?" Mariana, who couldn't help, didn't delay Selim's rescue, and went directly to the officials who arrived the fastest to discuss the rescue work after the explosion and the corresponding appeasement work.

Because a group of officials headed by deputy city lord Colin has been imprisoned by Mariana, there is now a shortage of manpower, and...

"Your Highness, maybe you can let Colin's deputy city lord come out to take care of things." Lena suggested to Marianna after cleaning up briefly: "Anyway, it's only temporary, and..."

"And once he is released, it will be difficult for me to hold him accountable." Mariana guessed that Lena would not be the first person to suggest her to do this, and once she agreed to the request , then Colin's deputy city lord can use this to erase the previous act of accepting bribes and offending Mariana.

To put it more seriously, if Colin's deputy city lord doesn't pay the price, the act of stuffing people into the crowd for help before will rise to the level of ignoring Mariana's appointment and dismissal edict and going to important institutions in a grandiose manner. Even Marianna's side was crowded with people.

But then again, even if some of Colin's moths haven't grown to this point, judging from the current situation, Colin's distance from being infiltrated into a sieve is not too far away.

"Nothing goes right." Mariana cursed in a low voice, which made Lena, who didn't know why, feel a little uneasy, and said, "Your Highness, is there something wrong with what I said?"

"No, your starting point is good, but Colin's deputy city lord can't be released yet." Mariana bit her fingernails and suppressed the irritability in her heart: "Besides, the explosion hasn't affected ordinary people yet. So there is no need for so many people to come out to take charge.”

"Yes." Lena is very clear about her position, so she will never question Mariana's judgment: "Then how do you plan to deal with the two accidents in Colin City?"

After all, seeing Marianna's performance, Lena didn't think that the other party would suspend her plan to go to Obstar.

"Let Oster come back!" Mariana said, "Also, post a mission to investigate the explosion on Colin's Adventurer's Guild board."

"How much is the bounty?"

"90 talents." Mariana added: "At the same time, the same mission was released in the Grand Duchy of Aquique and the Adventurer's Guild of Solins."

"Presumably at this time, the Adventurer's Guild is no less anxious than me."

The first was the assassination when receiving helpers, and then the explosion on the carriage.

As long as Mariana is willing to publicize the situation when she received the help-seeker, then there is no need for her to help the flames behind, and the Adventurer's Guild can't wait for the lords headed by the Grand Duchess Aquique to come to find fault, and will definitely take the lead in investigating who made them "Back the blame".

As for why Mariana entrusted the Adventurer's Guild to investigate this matter, this was her conspiracy and attempt.

If she can take the opportunity to ease the relationship with the Adventurer's Guild and reduce the obstacles to her policy in Colin, then the subsequent layout will be much smoother.What's more, letting the Adventurer's Guild investigate this matter can also make the minions behind the scenes retreat by three points.

After all, the love-hate relationship between the Adventurer's Guild and the Scavenger is so serious that it will not stop until one party is defeated.

It's just that no matter how much you think about it now, it's not as effective as solving the problem from the source.

"When is the departure?"

After discussing with the government personnel who came to meet, Mariana decided on Colin's next acting team and general policies.

"I rented a spare carriage for you when I went to the Adventurer's Guild to issue a mission." Lena considered that Mariana didn't want things from the Grand Duchy of Aquique to appear in Colin, so it was within the range of options. Make the best arrangements: "That carriage has been stored in the temple's warehouse, so you don't have to worry about someone messing with it."

"Where's the escort?" Considering that she can't share the same mind with Obsta's beautiful snake, Mariana has to be prepared for the third or even more assassinations: "Notify Botis to come over, and Ask the temple to borrow some people."

Lena took note of Mariana's request, and then arranged everything while Abigail was cleaning Baixue's wound.

Because Mariana had to change carriages after entering Obstar, Lena had to rearrange the handover work, busy like a spinning top.

"Is Bai Xue okay?" Marianna, who was waiting, saw Abigail, who was wiping her hands, come out of the room that was temporarily used as an operating room, so she asked her, "Can he go to Obstar with me?" ?”

"Of course." Don't look at Abigail's usual behavior like a little boy who was kept in custody, but she was personally sent to the stake by the Patriarch of Cantero, and even later became Mariana's confidant. where people are.

Although she can't compare with a doctor in the study of magic, Abigail is better than her witch talent and gender advantage, so Mariana once laughed at herself without Abigail, just like the Templars without their swords , the pastor is as scary without the scepter.

"His body is stronger than that of an orc, and you have given him good things regardless of the cost, so after the medicine is absorbed, he can move freely." Abigail didn't care if her skirt was messed up. Dirty into an abstract painting, after all, Mariana has always been generous to her, so she doesn't mind reimbursement for a dress for her.

"Do you want to see him?" Abigail took the cup from Marianna and drank the cold black tea.

"Forget it, I will only add to the chaos if I go in." Mariana has always had the self-knowledge of "not touching" things that she can't do and meaningless things.

"Are you all right?" Mariana remembered Abigail holding Lena and a valet with luggage when the carriage exploded.The former was not hurt because he was far away and was blocked by Abigail.As for the latter, Abigail dropped the box in his hand, so his right foot was smashed, but it was not a serious injury.

"Fortunately, it's just that the ear was injured." Compared with Bai Xue, Abigail felt that her injury was not a big deal. Worst situation: "The recovery agent of the temple takes effect very quickly, but I still hear some noises."

"Get ready, we will set off immediately after Baixue wakes up." Mariana looked out the window and found that there was already light fading from the edge of the skyline.

Lena had arranged everything so that Mariana and Abigail had time to take a nap before Botis arrived.

…………

……

It has to be said that the poison of the devil's mouth is inversely proportional to their empathy.

The first time Botis saw Marianna, he expressed his regret for the fact that she was not killed in the bombing: "I thought I would receive the good news that the Duke will be replaced soon!"

"I think your Lord Cthulhu will also regret that he lost a chance to throw you into the lava of hell." Faced with Botis's eccentricity, Marianne retorted happily: "Or, do you want to experience The feeling of being deprived of the identity of the Demon King."

"..." Botis hated the feeling of being led by the nose, so his originally joking expression became gloomy: "Your Highness, being too smart is not a good thing."

"I don't think this is something you should care about." Mariana nodded to Lena who came in, and then patted Abigail who was leaning on her shoulder to wake up, signaling the other party to wake up Snow White.

"After all, the one who is not smart has already been played to death by you, so being too smart is not necessarily a bad thing."

…………… I am the dividing line……………

"Your Highness, the Duchess of Brittania is coming soon."

In a small church in Obsta, an unremarkable manservant said softly to the second prince of Obsta, Abel Lorraine Dunova, who was kneeling in front of the statue: "I probably won't pass it." Tonight, the Duchess of Brittania will enter the country."

"Understood." Abel, who put his clasped hands on the altar, did not stop his prayers until a quarter of an hour later, he stretched out his hand to his entourage, who immediately stepped forward to help Abel up Get up, and hand over a finely crafted crutch.

Since he accidentally drank the poisoned wine handed to King Obstar two years ago, Prince Abel's body has deteriorated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even his right foot has become inconvenient.

Although no one has found out who gave the poisoned wine to the king so far, according to the list of vested beneficiaries, no one is better than the eldest son of King Obstar, that is, the eldest prince Leah. Tom is more likely to be responsible for the matter.

After all, as time went by, King Obstar's dissatisfaction with Queen Polina and her children grew day by day.And those conservative nobles who were dissatisfied with Queen Polina also had deep doubts about Prince Liam's lineage, and even secretly claimed that Prince Liam was not the king's own son, let alone the king's legal heir.

Because the marriage between King Obstar and Queen Polina is very interesting.

Leaving aside the fact that the acceptance of "marriage between the rich and the humble" in Obsta is far inferior to that of the Principality of Brittania, Queen Polina herself is far inferior to Mariana's grandfather in terms of her contribution to the country and her behavior. first wife.

After all, the biological mother of the former Duchess of Britannia funded the great cause of the Principality of Britannia, and even assisted Mariana's grandfather to formulate the now-common "Brittania Act".Therefore, neither Mariana nor the Grand Duchess Aquique, nor Mariana's grandmother, can deny the contribution of this outstanding woman to the Principality of Brittania.

Even in front of the chamber of commerce in the Principality of Britannia, there is still a statue of the birth mother of the former Duchess, and Mariana's maternal grandfather was finally buried with his first wife in the Royal Cemetery of the Principality of Britannia.

As for Queen Polina...

Forget it, she can be called a contribution if she doesn't add chaos to King Obstar's rule.

Before King Obstar and Grand Duchess Aquiqui officially broke off the engagement, Queen Polina was pregnant with Prince Liam, so that Queen Mary had to accept this dishonorable marriage with a gloomy face. lest the second grandson become an illegitimate child.

But this does not mean that Queen Mary welcomes this shameless woman who turned her family upside down, nor does it mean that Queen Mary welcomes the birth of Prince Liam, and even the next Prince Abel, Princess Innes.

And it has become a powerful weapon used by political opponents against Queen Polina to attack her and her children's legitimacy.

Perhaps out of love for the Grand Duchess Aquique, or to disgust the eldest son and daughter-in-law who made her unhappy, Queen Mary refused to grant Polina the status of crown princess, and even called her "the legal status of the crown prince" in public documents. Spouse, Lady Polina."

Undoubtedly, this had a huge psychological shadow on Queen Polina and even King Obstar, who was still the crown prince at the time, and the latter also tried his best to fight.

However, Queen Mary, who had already cleaned up the mess for her elder son once, did not want to continue to pamper this willful and ungrateful elder son, and even said harsh words to her elder son after an unprecedented quarrel: "If you continue to challenge my Patience, then I don't mind discussing with your father the possibility of changing the ruler."

"So who do you want instead? An ascetic who likes men or a coward who can't do anything?"

"Compared to you, at least the two of them are more aware of the price of responsibility." If it wasn't for comforting the physically and mentally exhausted Prince Dunawa, Queen Mary would definitely do more than she does now.

"Or... I can make Felipe the crown prince and let him adopt John's child."

The queen who has been in power for many years obviously knows how to hit a person better than her young and vigorous son.

If it weren't for Philippe's personal wishes, and a king who came out publicly was not popular with the public, Queen Mary had really considered abolishing the inheritance rights of the eldest son.

After all, she has two sons.

Even if the second son with a high sense of morality does not want to marry and have children, he can adopt one of the legal offspring of the third son and the Grand Duchess Aquique as the heir to the second son. Presumably the Grand Duchess Aquique and the Count of Calda will not do this mind.

"..."

Since then, King Obstar, who was still the crown prince at that time, lived a relatively stable life. Even Mrs. Polina and her children also behaved with their tails tucked between their tails, trying not to arouse Queen Mary's disgust.

This also led to Queen Polina's nervousness after long-term depression, as well as the current complicated situation.

…………

……

"Has Bishop Felipe replied to me?" Prince Abel asked his entourage on the way out of the church: "I remember that he presided over the cousin...I mean the Duchess of Brittany. ceremonies, and also dealt with a group of nobles involved in the murder of the former Duke of Brittania in the Pope's name."

"Yes, Your Highness, but Bishop Felipe did not stay long in the Principality of Brittania, so he went back to report to His Majesty the Pope." The entourage knew very well that his master had not given up on his claim to the throne, especially when he was After the man designed to drink the poison, the demand intensified to the point where Prince Abel could hardly maintain his public image.

However, Prince Abel knows better than Prince Liam that Count Calda's influence on the Grand Duchess Aquique and even Mariana is almost zero, so if he wants to impress Mariana, he has to go Felipe's way.

Moreover, in terms of personal influence, a very wealthy cardinal is also worth fighting for Prince Abel.

After all, the second son of the royal family has never been as rich as the eldest son.

And Felipe...

"Have you done everything I asked you to do?" Prince Abel knew that Felipe had never wanted to list King Obstar or their siblings as the first heir to the property, but because of King Obsta Even without interference, the cardinal could not transfer his property, and had to make a series of compromises for those under his protection.

Prince Abel knew very well that if Philip's property fell into the hands of King Obstar, it would only be cheaper for Prince Liam and Princess Innes.Because the latter cannot marry Emperor Odin empty-handed, while the former is the eldest son, he has a natural inheritance advantage over his parents' property.

"Of course." The entourage replied: "The person you protect is not a ungrateful bastard. I think His Excellency Felipe will get what he wants soon, and I am very grateful for your efforts." He praised: "And the Duchess of Brittania will also have endless affection for you."

After all, if Philippe's inheritance cannot be inherited by the king's line, it is obvious who will be cheaper in the end.

only……

"You think about my second uncle too simply." Prince Abel thought he was the friendliest person in Obsta's court to Philip, but even such a prince did not win Philippe's favor. treat each other differently.

"My second uncle is more difficult to please than you think." Prince Abel looked up to the sky, and was stabbed into tears: "And I don't know whether the Duchess of Brittania is as difficult as him Please, after all..."

Prince Abel, who was temporarily speechless, thought of the feared grandmother, and suddenly felt a chill down his back.

At the same time, Marianne's carriage also passed the border of Obstar smoothly, causing a wave of welcome sounds and music.

"The last time I came here there wasn't such a big battle!" Marianne supported Selim's arm and got out of the carriage, looked at the guard of honor and the head of the palace who came to greet her, and then stretched out her right hand to each other.

"Your Highness, I am pleasantly surprised at your arrival, and on behalf of His Majesty the King, I would like to extend my best wishes to you." Obsta's court chief kissed Marianne's hand and said humbly, "Your Majesty heard that you were in Kobe. Lin’s horrific experience, I hope you can gain a sense of security that you have never had before in Obstar.”

"A sense of security that I've never had before? I just hope that his wife can be kinder to me." Mariana whispered when the manager of Obstar saluted: "It's a pity that I came to Austria to solve Colin's assassination case." Busta's, not for His Majesty's... hopeless expectations."

Mariana carefully observed every move of Steward Obstar, but the latter was more patient and disguised than Queen Polina: "I think you will see Prince Liam and Prince Abel, Then they will change their opinion. After all, in terms of blood, they are not only your cousins, but also have half blood relationship with His Excellency Lucius."

"That's right! This half of the blood relationship is really wonderful." Mariana signaled King Obstar to look aside with her eyes, only to see Selim standing there, and Sera who came after him.

"Same blood relationship, do you think I have similarities with the little girl over there?" Mariana enjoyed the sudden ugly face of Chief Obsta, and even stabbed him in the chest: " Tell your majesty the king, I will go to Black Forest Castle after I find out the poisonous snake that is entrenched in Obsta's court."

Director Obstar seemed to have thought of something, his face became uglier and more respectful than before.

"Your Excellency, do you know what this means?"

"It means that I, the Duchess of Brittany and the Grand Duchess of Aquiquie are very likely to reach a settlement with Cantero."

"Your Highness, I think based on your kinship with King Obstar, you shouldn't betray your uncle like this." It was difficult for Director Obstar to maintain his calm expression and even his voice under this kind of psychological torture. They all trembled and said: "Presumably His Majesty the King also wants to show you his kindness."

"Pfft! The King's mercy?" Mariana almost laughed. "Tell me, Your Excellency. What is the King Obstar's mercy?"

"He made me leave Odin like a stray dog?"

"Or did his wife almost kill me?"

"Your Highness, you can't slander your aunt, the queen of our country." Steward Obstar warned: "Even if you are the Duchess, you can't make such a rude move."

"Your Excellency, I was married to Queen Mary when I was young, so I am not the kind of person who talks nonsense, and I will not be full of lies like your queen, causing countless tragedies." Mariana replied: "As for whether I slandered Queen Obstar, maybe you can tell His Majesty the king what I have said now, and then ask him to verify it."

"In addition, I have already scheduled a meeting with King Cantero. If I cannot appear in Black Forest Castle in a month, what will King Cantero and His Majesty the Pope do... I think you know very well."

Steward Obstar didn't answer Mariana's words immediately, but when he passed by Mariana, he finally whispered: "I will pass on your words to His Majesty the King, please rest assured."

Mariana gave him a nod, and then boarded the carriage sent by King Obstar to fetch her.

"When did you set up a meeting with King Cantero?" Abigail finally couldn't bear it after getting into the car, "Did you forgive Seyes of Cantero?"

"No." Mariana will never have a good impression of those three bastards in her life: "I'm just slandering him and putting a layer of insurance on myself."

"After all, my good uncle has no moral bottom line, so no matter what he does, it is not too much."

"Including detaining me in Obstar's court."
