The patriarch of Obstar thought very simply, that is, since he wanted Thomas Fitzroy to replace Mariana, he had to try his best to raise Thomas Fitzroy's status and influence so that he could Stand out among the heirs to the throne.

As long as Mariana and Lucius are taken away with the scandal of incest, and then domestic public opinion is encouraged to reject Obsta's distant heirs, then Thomas Fitzroy will become the new king of Obsta The probability is greatly increased.

Of course, Patriarch Obstar, who is not rich in political experience and was promoted by the Papal State, would never have imagined that the neglected Earl of Calda would be forced to divorce and remarry by Obstar after Mariana abdicated, and The rulers of Cantero and Odin are perfectly capable of making a strong claim to Obsta's throne after Mariana's abdication.

And all of this will definitely become the fuse of the battle for the throne, making the already chaotic situation even worse.

"Since it is Cardinal Felipe's intention, I will do my best to assist His Excellency Thomas Fitzroy." The patriarch of Obstar glanced at Mariana's expression, and seemed to see a hint of surprise in it. His bitterness of pleasure.

It would be great if we could use this to find the weakness of Mrs. Christina or Mariana, so as to weaken the influence of the two.

Thinking of this, Patriarch Obstar immediately felt full of energy, which made Lena feel a little pitiful for him, but when he thought about this man's stupidity, Lena's pity disappeared without a trace.

"Thomas Fitzroy, I'll leave it to you." After the Patriarch of Obstar took the bait, Mariana became more and more kind. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was extremely gentle.

And when the other party left, Mariana's smile did not disappear, but she asked the Lord Seal Keeper, "How is the preparation for the reception of the Saintess Parade going?"

"According to your instructions, we have carefully controlled the cost of receiving the saintess." After all, there is very little money here, and it is purely for some lively public welfare activities for the common people, so whether it is the Minister of Seals or other members of the Imperial Council, There is no enthusiasm for receiving the saint.

If it wasn't for Thomas Fitzroy and the patriarch of Obstar being sent by Marianne to try Rudian, it wouldn't be the Lord Keeper's turn to take on such a thankless job.

"It's better not to be higher than Odin's reception fee." Mariana is not interested in the saint parade.It would be better to say that after the Pope was assassinated, the meaning of the Saintess Parade was only to cover the shame of the Papal State.

"Besides, Botis, try to get Danhill over." In front of the Lord Seal, Mariana didn't mind mentioning the long-forgotten son of the pope: "Odin's little emperor detained Ariel. Na, maybe the Pope will leave behind his children, so we must ensure that the Pope's back will not be used on Obsta."

The Keeper of the Seal glanced secretly at Mariana's expression, wanting to complain that the Pope's backhand must have dealt with Mariana himself more than Obsta.However, in front of Marianna, he was too embarrassed to say so, so he could only respond against his will: "I agree with your consideration, but isn't it too risky to send Danhill to Obsta at this time?" .”

Counting the days, the Holy Maiden's parade should have left Cantero, and the Principality of Britannia is not far from Obsta, so Danhill could easily collide with the Holy Maiden's parade.

However, to the surprise of the Keeper of the Seals, Mariana really wanted to let the saintess' parade team meet Danhill: "Compared with us, it must be Danhill who can find out more.

"Aren't you afraid that he will stab you backhand?" Botis subconsciously asked, "He has been imprisoned by you for more than a year, so he really won't hold any resentment towards you?"

"At least I spared his life, unlike someone who killed his father." Mariana's words made the Lord Seal look sideways.After all, considering the identity of Emperor Odin, no one has dared to assert that the death of the pope was caused by Odin's little emperor, so Mariana said this in private, which is completely slapping Odin in the face.It's just that the people present are all important ministers of Mariana, so they won't talk nonsense.

"Then what do you mean..." Botis suddenly thought of a possibility, so he asked tactfully, "You want to take in the Pope's illegitimate children?"

As soon as this remark came out, let alone the Minister of the Seal, even Lena was a little surprised and said: "Are you going to declare war on His Majesty the Emperor of Odin?"

No wonder Lena thought too much, because taking in the pope's illegitimate child at this juncture and insisting on asking Odin to explain it was no different from having a falling out with Odin.

Of course, if Odin is willing to change the ruler, maybe the situation will change again.

"Ms. Lena, please don't be so absolute." The Keeper of the Seals was almost scared to death by Lena's words, and felt that his heart would stop beating: "Your Majesty, Obstar can't afford to fight now. "

Even under Mariana's political stimulation, Obstar's people's livelihood has improved, but compared with Odin, it is still more than a star and a half behind.Not to mention that Odin's population and land area are far larger than Obstar.

Although Mariana is not only the Queen of Obsta, but also the Duchess of Brittania and the Grand Duke of Aquique, it is still unknown whether the other two countries are willing to assist Obsta in fighting Odin!

"Don't be so nervous! After all, the Pope died a long time ago, so the only remaining identity of the Danhill brothers and sisters is the Duchy of Brittania..." Mariana completely forgot the title she gave Danhill.

"Earl of Kent." Botis glanced at Mariana helplessly, and reminded behind her: "However, you only gave Danhill an empty title, and did not give the other party the corresponding territory."

"That's right!" Marianne didn't know whether she was pretending to be stupid or really stupid, after a while of silence, she subconsciously said: "Then when Irina arrives in Obstar, give them a piece of territory for their brothers and sisters!"

"Your Majesty!" The Minister of the Seal Holder, who had just relaxed, held his chest and looked like he was about to faint again: "You are..."

"Don't worry, I'm giving them territory in the Principality of Brittania, and I won't let Obsta and Odin completely fall out." Mariana could understand the cautiousness of the Keeper of the Seal, but she still felt a little helpless: "The icing on the cake It is easy to get, but it is hard to find charcoal in the snow.”

The young Her Majesty the Queen said meaningfully: "Take a long-term view, and don't just estimate the small profits of the moment."

The Keeper of the Seal did not understand what Mariana meant, so the latter continued, "Because of the unexpected death of the Pope, you all set your sights on Odin's little emperor."

Mariana raised a finger, as if to make a point: "After the Pope's death, his greatest legacy is not the money accumulated for 30 to [-] years, nor is it the money that can be transferred by Denhill or Irina. political team, but who the next pope is."

Although the Pope is not hereditary, members of his family and the old ministry still have some influence on the selection of successors like the deceased ruler.

However, Dansir's father died so suddenly that not many people knew whether he had left a will, so Odin's little emperor just let Irina go lightly after some probing, and turned to deal with her. Someone who has the potential to make a big fuss about it.

After all, since the Pope died in Odin, the next Pope cannot be from Odin.

As for Cantero... If the Pope is a family, then stop playing in other countries and just give up the high ground of public opinion!

"What if the Pope leaves a will for Irina?" Mariana felt that if she stood in the Pope's perspective, she would definitely not be ready to die at such an age.

Although the Pope never gave Danhill any official position, even Irina entered the Papal State as an ordinary family member.But even so, there are still many people who are dissatisfied with the Pope's children.Among other things, the fact that Irina was able to get engaged to Seyes, and Danhill's various privileges in the Pope's country, made some nobles or monks who maintained their identities deeply dissatisfied with him.

And after the Pope's death, even with the protection of the Pope's former ministry, Irina and Dan Hill would not be easily let go.

Mariana didn't believe that the Pope, who was eager to love his son, would not miss this level. Besides, in order to let Sidian work for her with peace of mind, it is also a very cost-effective deal to give Danhill and Irina a place to stay.

It's just that when Mariana was planning painstakingly, someone was talking about her.

"What is this?" Abela, who didn't feel the warmth of her hometown, felt that Seys was worse than Odin's little emperor and even the cardinal who had taken care of her before, after staying in Cantero for a day. She is not allowed to attend any public occasions other than her official duties.

Even in order to prevent Cantero from ending up with Odin or Solins, even if Seyes' supervision of Abela is not perfect, it can be called a solid wall.

Of course, in order to prevent Abela from doing unthinkable things out of boredom, Seyes also specifically asked the maid in charge of Abela to bring her some new gadgets, and then let Abela's foster brother come over to accompany her.

However, considering the lack of supplies in Cantero and the strong religious atmosphere, there are very few things available for entertainment.

So when Abela got awkward again, the maid in charge of taking care of her could only rack her brains to hold a glass of the new thing introduced from Obstar, but Abela became possessed after taking a sip.

"This is..." With a skeptical attitude, Abela took another sip of the drink offered by the maid, and finally confirmed the inexplicable sense of familiarity: "Isn't this Coke?"

"Coke? I only know that this drink from Obstar is called 'Abby'."

"'Abby'?"

"Yeah! Probably named after its maker."

Abela took a sip of her drink, rarely lost in thought.

Could it be that the producer of this 'Abby' is her fellow villager?
