"Then are you sure?" In terms of self-interest, Lucius wants Mariana to become the Duchess of Brittany more than anyone else, but this does not mean that Lucius is willing to see Mariana and Richard. De, or that lace news was blocked to meet Dan Hill in the Pope's country.

Just thinking of this scene, Lucius felt indescribably blocked.

Mariana subconsciously bit the thumbnail of her right hand, but could not give Lucius a satisfactory answer: "No."

"Really?" Lucius didn't believe that the Grand Duchess Aquique would let Mariana fight unprepared, but now Mariana was even more confused than Lucius thought: "What cards do you think I have to convince you?" Richard of Solins, or the Pope's illegitimate son?"

You must know that Mariana is only 15 years old now, and she was kicked around like a football by various countries in the first half of her life.Before being divorced by Odin's little emperor, it was difficult for Mariana to stabilize in one place, and it was even more difficult to cultivate her own political power somewhere.

It can be said that apart from the support of the Grand Duchess Aquique, Mariana could not find any weapons that could be used to protect herself.

But now, the Grand Duchess of Aquique asked Mariana to persuade Richard of Solins or the Pope's son by herself, without giving her daughter much time to prepare.

Lucius gently pulled down Mariana's right hand to prevent her from gnawing off a layer of skin on her fingertips in a trance.

"Mother didn't tell you more news?" Mariana pressed the back of her hand against her lower lip, and as the carriage bumped, she could clearly feel the teeth and the bones on the back of her hand pushing against the gums. nerve.This subtle pain helps Mariana keep her thinking sharp and prevents her from getting headaches for no reason.

"Mother just said one more thing before I left." Lucius tried his best to recall the words of the Grand Duchess Aquique, trying to repeat every detail: "She wants to ask what conditions you need to persuade Richard De or Densher."

Mariana rubbed her forehead slightly, and met Lucius' eyes: "Who do you think I should cooperate with?"

Lucius didn't expect Marianne to throw such a difficult and sensitive topic to him, so he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Those two jackals are waiting for me to throw out the bait." Mariana held out two fingers to Lucius.One represents Richard, while the other represents Denhill: "Solins can forge his aunt's last wish or have reached an agreement with the regent of Britannia, as for Denhill..."

"The Pope will pay for his precious son." Lucius continued, "The premise is that you can make Denhill a real nobleman."

Mariana noticed that Lucius did not use the proposal of "let her marry Denhill", so she confirmed again: "You want me to cooperate with Danhill?"

Lucius looked out of the window disguisedly, and his voice became more dull than before: "Richard has betrayed you, he is not a trustworthy man."

"Then Denhill." Marianne said: "Take Danhill, and then find a way to kill Britannia's regent."

"Kill him?" Lucius knew that Mariana couldn't tolerate the man who had dominated the Britannia government for nearly 30 years, but he didn't expect that Mariana wanted to kill someone when she opened her mouth.

"The threat to his life is too great, even far surpassing that of the former Aquiqui girl." After all, the former is an old fox who has accumulated a certain amount of political background, while the latter is a weak girl whose parents died and was held hostage by both parties.

Mariana knew that if she left the Britannia regent alive, Richard would definitely make use of it in the future and cause countless troubles.

Seeing this, Lucius no longer asked Mariana how to deal with Britannia's regent: "If you need help, you can come to me at any time."

"Don't worry, there will always be a place for you in this trip to Britannia." Mariana changed her voice: "Why don't you send a message to my mother for me now, saying that I need two A ballot to win Denhill and the Pope."

"vote?"

"Yes, it's the ballot." Mariana affirmed, "The time has come to verify the relationship between the Pope and his son."

…………… I am the dividing line……………

The port of the Grand Duchy of Aquique was as windy as ever, making it difficult for those who just got off the carriage to open their eyes.

Mariana pulled up the hood of her cloak and waited for the ship by the harbor.

Abigail didn't dare to return to Marianne until after Lucius left, and asked carefully in her ear: "The Duchess of Brittania has passed away?"

Mariana nodded, then was attracted by a commotion.

Not long after they arrived, a convoy holding the Solins flag followed.

A tall, black-haired man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes stepped out of the leading carriage.He looks about the same age as Lucius, but he is much thinner than Lucius in terms of physique, and has very rare heterochromatic pupils and pale skin comparable to the doctor.

When his black eyes on the left and red on the right looked at Marianne, even Abigail felt trembling as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake.

"he is……"

"Richard of Solins." Mariana signaled Abigail to calm down: "It's just a beast in human skin, what are you afraid of?"

Abigail hid behind Mariana awkwardly, pretending to be submissive to her as the leader.

Richard, who got off the carriage, saw Mariana from the crowd, and then pulled off his gloves, giving Mariana the illusion that the other party would catch her back to Solins in a second.

In fact, Richard really thought so when he saw Mariana.

"Your Majesty." Mariana curtseyed after Richard came.

The latter looked Mariana up and down with a gaze that would not offend a lady, then reached out to Mariana and kissed the back of his ex-fiancee's hand.

"I haven't seen you for many years. You have become an amazing lady." Richard's voice was far less aggressive than his gaze.

However, this did not win Mariana's favor.

"I'm sorry for the tragedy that happened to you." Mariana withdrew her hand from Richard's palm, and mentioned something that made the latter's smile fade: "Losing one after another in such a short period of time The hopeful child and the 'beloved' wife must be the greatest difficulty you have encountered so far."

"Your gentleness is really an honor to me." Richard glanced at the convoy of the Grand Duchy of Aquique, but did not find the coat of arms belonging to Henry: "It's just the real heir of the Duchy of Brittania, so where is it?" ?”

The implication is that he does not recognize Mariana's successor status.

However, Mariana is not a vegetarian, and she has already decided to join forces with the Pope and his son, so there is no need to make superficial efforts with Richard: "Naturally, it is in the hearts of His Majesty the Pope and everyone at the hearing."

Speaking of this, Marianne also sarcastically said: "Your Majesty, rather than paying attention to the succession dispute of the Principality of Britannia, you should personally escort the body of the Duchess of Britannia, and then sacrifice for her soul in front of the gods." pray."

"Pray?" Richard carefully chewed this disgusting word, but there was no physical discomfort in his face and voice: "Of course I will pray to the Duchess of Brittania in front of the gods." The soul may rest in peace."

Richard narrowed his beautiful heterochromatic pupils, and said with a touch of seduction: "I wonder if you would like to pray with me for the soul of the Duchess of Brittania."

"Of course." Mariana replied quite straightforwardly: "After all, we are all her relatives, and we should pray for her soul."

After all, Mariana added: "It's just that the niece who has been divorced three times, and the uncle who has just become a widower should not be the object of scandal."

Mariana looked in the direction of Britannia, and before parting with Richard, she said with a pun: "Once again, I express my condolences and regrets for the loss of your wife."

Richard watched Marianne leave first, and after his entourage came over, he asked seemingly inadvertently, "Has the Pope's envoy arrived yet?"

"I heard that the other party went to visit the Grand Duchess of Aquique first. After all, from the Papal State to Britannia, I also want to borrow the port of the Grand Duchy of Aquique." The attendant wondered if Richard had any other thoughts about Mariana. , so he boldly reminded: "Your Majesty, the Pope may intend to marry Princess Karda..."

"I know." Richard didn't even bother to throw a look of "Are you an idiot?" to his followers: "The once abandoned lady is now a golden princess, who can resist this charming woman."

Besides, Marianne wasn't bad looking, although she wasn't a traditional blonde beauty, and couldn't compare to Irina, who was known for her beauty, but the title of Duchess of Brittania and her huge territory were enough to offset all her flaws.

"The feeling of miscalculation is really uncomfortable." Richard smoothed the hair that was frizzed by the sea breeze before the second boat arrived.

"You said that if I kidnap Princess Karda back to Solins, how many people will come to save the beauty as a hero."

Just when the attendants thought that Richard had nothing to say, the young king he served suddenly spoke out.

"Your Majesty, this is..." If he didn't have some understanding of Richard's character, it is estimated that the entourage would almost faint from the king's words.

"It's just a casual remark!" Richard sighed in his heart, feeling that he needed to change to a more knowledgeable and steady follower.

"Princess Karda is not so easy to kidnap."

Richard looked at Brittania hidden in the mist—the island he had acquired but lost soon after. After half a day of sea breeze, he suppressed the trace of regret and reluctance in his heart.

Don't worry, the future is still long!

Richard licked his roof, mentally dismembering a certain Pope's emissary.
