Spellcasting Heavens

The palace is always a place full of intrigues and calculations.

Especially in this continent where blood and feudal systems are the main governance structures, wives can often enjoy some of the rights derived from their sons and husbands.

Some strong women can also seize power and financial power from their sons and husbands, eventually turning the former into their own puppets or marionettes. Others are more direct, deposing their husbands and sons and taking the stage themselves.

Especially when the wife's family has great political influence, or comes from the royal family of a powerful country, the probability of this happening is almost over 50%.

To a certain extent, marriage is not only a political and military alliance, but also a game between two allies. In the end, the dominant party may even have the opportunity to annex the weaker party.

However, in the eyes of most nobles, this annexation of bloodlines is acceptable.

But it is a pity that Kerwin, who is ambitious and of humble origin, does not want to be annexed at all, let alone give up part of his power.

Because he knows very well that although he has an absolute and crushing advantage in the military, he is still too weak in politics, so weak that even the people in the area he currently controls do not recognize him as the de facto ruler, but still insist on Claiming to be the people of the Kingdom, it is estimated that there is no way to change the situation in just one or two generations.

Under such circumstances, marriage to a powerful and prestigious monarch would be tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house.

Although Kerwin didn't think that a mere young princess could take away much power from him, the problem was that there would be many people who were still waiting and hesitating, and would rather choose to be loyal to her than to be loyal to him.

Over time, more and more power will gather around this legal wife, and whether she has such thoughts or not, she will be forced into a power struggle.

Do you know what it means to reject me? Harrison narrowed his eyes, with a hint of threat in his tone.

It has been a long time since he met someone who dared to refuse him, whether he was a monarch of a country or a general with great achievements under his command.

What, do you plan to lead the army to declare war on me? Or are you just verbally condemning me as a traitor and tyrant? No, you are a completely mercenary king and will not do such a stupid thing. On the contrary, your biggest threat is to have As the orthodox and righteous Vilia, you will conclude an alliance with me no matter what. At least until our common enemy is resolved, there will be no conflicts between us. Kerwin pursed his lips slightly. A proud expression appeared.

This is also the main reason why he is willing to take huge risks.

Obviously, before he figured out Zhang Cheng's true thoughts, he didn't dare to act rashly at all. The only way was to find someone he could abandon at any time. Or a cannon fodder stabbed in the back to complete the temptation for himself.

But Harrison didn't know this. Instead, he felt that he was the leader and the one with the advantage.

So he pondered for a moment and then immediately laughed in a pretentious manner: Hahahaha! Okay! Very good! You are one of the very few people in the world who dare to talk to me like this. I appreciate your ambition. But a marriage is a marriage, You must agree to this before I will give you what you want. If you think it will be risky to marry my daughter, you can choose to get engaged first and hold the wedding when I am about to die. You know, there is nothing better than blood fusion. It can be reassuring.

Since you have mentioned this, it would be too shameless for me to refuse. Well, I agree to your request. Now, can we talk in detail about how you plan to deal with Vilia? After all, she Now she is no longer the innocent and ignorant princess before, but an extremely dangerous opponent. Kerwin did not intend to dwell on this issue for too long and decisively got to the point.

As for marriage and what kind of woman he would marry as his wife, he never cared about it from beginning to end.

For him, the opposite sex is not so much a partner, but a tool to vent his desires and reproduce, as long as he is beautiful and healthy enough.

I heard that you once captured her? Why did you release her later? Harrison did not directly give his plan, but took the initiative to ask a very critical question.

You don't need to ask to know that he, like many others, is curious about what happened that made a princess with a beautiful name suddenly become a different person overnight. She not only launched a coup to replace her father, but also At the same time, he also annexed a nearby principality with lightning speed.

I'm sorry, this is a private matter between the two of us. I can't tell you too much details. All you need to know is that she is supported by a powerful being. But fortunately, this powerful being will not directly Intervene in the fights between ordinary people, so you don't need to worry too much about what trouble you will encounter after getting rid of Vilia. Kerwin gave a half-truthful answer.

In fact, even he was not sure how Zhang Cheng would react if Villa was killed or ousted.

Oh? You mean... there is a mysterious guy hiding behind?

Harrison raised his eyebrows and looked into the other person's eyes, trying to detect some unusual information.

As a veteran of politics and conspiracies, it is not difficult to guess based on his IQ that Kerwin has risen so quickly because of the help of this mysterious man.

But the question is, why would the mysterious man choose to support a kingdom that is on the verge of destruction?

What happened between him and Kerwin?

What kind of ulterior secret or conspiracy is hidden behind everything?

Kerwin noticed this silent temptation and sighed helplessly: Alas... I can't give you an accurate answer, but I can give you a little hint. He is different from us. , let alone try to use your own thinking to infer his motives. In his eyes, all the power, wealth, beauty, and glory in the world are not worth mentioning.

It seems that you are very familiar with this mysterious man. I wonder if you can introduce him to me? Harrison made a request.

Haha, you seem to have misunderstood something. Do you know? Neither I nor Vilia are qualified to ask him to do anything, but he gave us orders directly, and we must complete them to the letter. Otherwise... this People will pay the price for their arrogance and stupidity.”

When he said these words, Kerwin's eyes flashed with unnoticeable regret.

He knew that Villa's rise was precisely because he had gotten carried away and had thoughts he shouldn't have, so Iseult left him for fear of being accidentally implicated.
