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

"I didn't expect that there would be a day when I could be used as a talisman." Denhill couldn't find a way to escape from the Principality of Britannia for the time being, because the drows and witches around Marianna were all tracking and anti-reconnaissance He is a good player, and Danhill never believed that Mariana would detain him without preparation, so after Mariana made a move, Danhill wanted to fight for a chance for himself.

Yes, vitality.

Because Dan Hill didn't believe that Mariana would let the Pope leave Britannia alive after he stepped down or died.

"You don't look happy about it...or honored." Mariana didn't miss Denhill's every look.Even if she has an absolute advantage now, she will not take it lightly: "Isn't this what your father wants to see?"

Marianne's expression made Dan Hill feel uneasy.Even though he had seen all kinds of hypocritical faces in the Papal Kingdom, it was the first time he met a woman like Mariana who changed her face like a book and revealed a decadent aura at a young age.

"Should I be honored?" Denhill loosened his clenched fist and said calmly as much as possible: "From the envoy of the Pope to the prisoner... the gap between these things cannot be explained clearly in a few words."

"Thinking about the good, you at least got the title this trip." Mariana looked Dan Hill up and down, and found that there was no one more suitable as a shield than him: "How many people enter and exit the battlefield seven times?" , Turning over piles of dead people one after another, just to get a title. Now I'm giving you a chance to open your mouth, but you don't want it."

"If it were you, would this kind of free pie be safe?" Dan Hill said angrily, "I'm afraid that what you gave me is just an empty title, and you won't let me have land or real power at all."

"There is still land. After all, you are my 'guest', so I have to make your life comfortable." Marianna bit the 'guest' once, which made Danhill even more depressed.

"Is there no possibility for us to cooperate?" Dan Hill half-truthfully said: "Obviously we had a good talk before."

"Before was before, now is now." Mariana's tone was like a teacher educating a stubborn student, directly cutting off the last trace of fantasy of Dan Hill: "The biggest bargaining chip you and the Pope have is to let me win Go to the hearing and become the Duchess of Brittania in a more peaceful way. But now, there is no need to hold the hearing, do you still have bargaining chips with me?"

At the end, Mariana added: "Even if you deny that I am the first heir to the former Duchess, there are only two people who can inherit the Duchy of Brittania at the moment—me and my mother, no one is the same. ?"

"Yes! This logic is indeed correct." Dan Hill pretended to applaud: "Then what role does my amulet play in your plan?"

"target."

"what?"

"You are the target I use to avoid being robbed of my marriage." Mariana explained with a smile: "Choosing a fiancé from within the country is likely to cause discord and civil strife among the nobles, while choosing a fiancé from abroad is easy to cause Britannia and The Grand Duchy of Aquique became a vassal of other countries."

"But with you here, all my problems will be solved."

Mariana looked at Danhill as if she was looking at a tool man: "As long as I keep you by my side, it will create an illusion that the Pope intends to let his illegitimate son be engaged to me. In this way, I can Transferring the pressure of heiress forced marriages to the pope might even make a little extra money."

"You...you want to get engaged to me?" Dan Hill only felt that the happiness came so suddenly that he didn't even think about what to say.

In this regard, Mariana looked at Dan Hill with a trace of pity for the mentally retarded: "Do you think it is possible?"

After recovering from the astonishment, Dan Hill shook his head, trying to hide his embarrassment: "Aren't you afraid that my father will join forces with the kings of other countries to drive you out?"

"If he dares to do this, I will kill you first, and then find allies to kill your father." Mariana showed a pungent and sarcastic smile at Dan Hill: "Besides, your father wouldn't do this either? "

"Why?" Dan Hill didn't think Mariana knew the Pope better than he did.

The fact is, however, that Marianne was more in tune with the Pope than Denhill was in this respect.

"Because no one believes that he sent you to Britannia, not for the purpose of wanting you to marry me." Mariana looked at Dan Hill with more pity: "Imagine if you were a Ambitious monarchs will believe the Pope to tell you 'my son has been captured by the Duchess of Brittania, so I wish to cooperate with you to take Britannia. When this is done, I can get my son back , and you can get a whole Brittany '...'?"

[Too false. 】

After listening to Mariana's words, Danhill involuntarily denied the possibility that his father would use force to redeem himself.

Mariana was right, those suspicious kings would never believe that the Pope would be so "generous" to give up the Duchess of Brittania instead of leaving it to his son.

What's more, Mariana still holds three ballots that can affect the Pope's re-election, and may jointly apply for an impeachment hearing against the Pope with King Obsta and Odin's little emperor.

If Henry is not dead, then Danhill has a big bargaining chip in his hand to negotiate with Mariana.

And now...

"When do you plan to give me that empty title." Dan Hill suddenly changed his voice: "I want to keep you by my side, there must be a suitable reason."

"Huh? You accepted it quite quickly." Mariana thought Danhill would struggle for a long time, but the next second the other party brought the topic to the empty title she mentioned earlier: "Do you really want to be honest? Really stay here?"

Mariana signaled Bai Xue to let go.

While rubbing the wrist with the red mark, Dan Hill replied: "Why don't you want to, after all, stay here with delicious food and drink, accompanied by a title, a manor, and a beautiful duchess."

Mariana could hear the sarcasm in Denhill's words, but she didn't care about it: "When everything is settled, you will be the first to receive the title."

"Is there a canonization ceremony?"

"Have."

"That's good." Denhill kept clenching his fists and then loosening them.

"You are not the first person to use me to threaten my father."

Before being taken away by Oster, Danhill wrote lightly: "I have seen worse situations than this, and you are still a relatively gentle existence among the detainees."

Marianna stared at Dan Hill's back, and always felt that he didn't look like a second-generation ancestor who was doing nothing but knowing women and wine.

Lucius doesn't think Marianne needs to give the prisoner a title, but he believes that his sister will not do so without reason: "I hope you can succeed as the Duchess of Brittania as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams, and someone else will do it. Demon."

"You really never let go of your vigilance against Richard." When mentioning King Solins, Marianne's expression was more cheerful than when she was talking to Dan Hill: "There are people who don't believe in destiny, But being defeated by destiny...is there something more ironic?"

Mariana's tone became much lighter: "His painstaking efforts for seven or eight years were all in vain, and even during his trip to Britannia, he couldn't get any benefits that could reduce losses."

"Losing money, losing people and losing land."

"That's Richard!"

Compared with Cantero's Seys and Odin's little emperor, Richard is really not a star.

After all, after Seys broke off the engagement with Mariana, he became engaged to Irene (the Pope's illegitimate daughter and Danhill's younger sister), who was famous for her beauty, and the new fiancée of Odin's little emperor was Mariana's cousin. My sister, Princess Innes of Obstar.

Although the latter couldn't compare to Irina in terms of beauty, she was a young and beautiful girl whose fiancé had infinite longings.

Mariana was really curious about how Richard had sex with his aunt.

After all, under such circumstances, Richard... can he really get up?

"What are you thinking?" Lucius waved his hand in front of Mariana's eyes, and the latter almost blurted out what was in his heart, but bit the tip of his tongue.

"hiss……"

Mariana quickly opened her mouth.

Seeing this, Lucius lifted Mariana's chin directly to check the injury on her tongue.

"Fortunately, you didn't bite your tongue." Lucius took out a bottle of recovery potion from the leather pouch he was carrying, and told Mariana to drink it quickly.

"I thought the Templars wouldn't carry such a low-level recovery potion with them." Mariana knew that with Lucius' strength, not to mention being ranked in the top ten in the whole continent, she rarely met opponents in the south.

Lucius' movements froze for a moment, but with his strength, Mariana couldn't notice it at all.

………………… I am the dividing line…………………

On a very ordinary morning, Count Calda received a letter from the Grand Duchess of Aquique and the news of Henry's death.Although he had separated from the Grand Duchess Aquique by agreement seven or eight years ago, and he rarely stepped into the court of Aquique except for necessary festivals, but for his two children with the Grand Duchess Aquique, Karda The Earl still felt guilty.

Whatever the reasons for his union with the Grand Duchess of Aquique, Henry and Mariana were victims of their unhappy marriage.

Count Caldar knew he was a coward.He can neither give a formal title to his first love who has been with him for many years, nor can he resist the wishes of his mother and brother, so he can only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and live in a daze.

Until Henry's death was like a slap in the face, waking him up completely.

…………

……

When Agnès woke up, she found that there were only a few crumpled marks on the bed next to her, so she went to the castle chapel to find Count Calda.

Because the owner of the earldom is very pious, the most gorgeous place in the castle is the chapel dedicated to the gods.

Agnès sometimes finds it ironic.

After all, a man who is so pious that he spends four or five hours a day in repentance and prayer is not only an idle and frivolous child, but also maintains a monogamous and monogamous relationship for a long time after marriage .

Agnès also had a lot of fantasies about Earl Karda when she was a girl.

Count Calda, who was still a teenager at the time, took her by the hand and walked into an unglamorous church. Then, in front of the statues of Cupid and Pantheon, he promised that he would officially marry Agnes after his elder brother got married. wife.

Even Agnes at the time questioned this relationship because of the difference in status between the two, and once wanted to break up with Count Calda, but with their childhood sweetheart and the insistence of Count Calda, She still chooses to believe in her lover, and believes that Earl Karda can give her a future.

Count Calda was, after all, only the third child of Queen Mary.

Compared to Philip, who was dedicated to the gods, Count Calda had better marry a wife with a weak family background and a simple mouth, so as to avoid all kinds of suspicion from his eldest brother after he succeeded to the throne.

Thinking about it now, how could they be described as "naive" at that time.

The coerciveness of the royal power and the arrogance of King Obstar, who was still the crown prince at that time, ruined all the illusions of Count Calda and Agnes about a good life.

In order to cover up for King Obstar.

At the same time, in order to restore the deceived Grand Duchess Aquique.

Agnès watched Count Calda marry the Grand Duchess of Aquique, who had been born for less than three months, and was even forced to attend the wedding of the two—because Queen Mary wanted to ensure that everything was safe, and Count Calda would not She will give the Grand Duchess Aquique a shame at the wedding or in her later life.

At that moment, Agnes's despair was hard to describe in words.

She gave birth to their first son in the second month of Count Calda's marriage, and then, under the arrangement of Queen Mary, she won the title of squire and a large annuity, and was even promised to get a change. Marriage of class, and a bright future for the sons and daughters.

However, when Count Karda approached her and begged her to give her another chance, Agnès still failed to resist Count Karda's tenderness offensive, and continued to live with him in such a self-deceiving way.

Until their children grew up day by day, and the Grand Duchess Aquique and the only male heir to Count Calda died unexpectedly.

"I have asked someone to prepare your luggage for the Grand Duchy of Aquique... and asked Selim to write a condolence letter for you." Agnes stood at the door of the chapel, looking at Count Karda in pajamas. Kneeling before the pantheon, praying for the rest of the soul of his dead legitimate son

"Are you okay?" Agnes, who had stood at the door for a long time hesitated, asked Count Karda, "Do you need Selim to go with you?"

"No, Isabella (Grand Duchess Aquique) just lost Henry, and I don't want her to be sad... to add distraction."

The Selim mentioned by Agnes was the eldest son of her and Count Calda, a boy who had already participated in knight training and regarded Lucius as a target.

After hearing Count Calda's words, Agnès curled her lips sarcastically, and said flatly, "Ever since the Grand Duchess Aquique had a miscarriage, you've always been so considerate of her that you didn't even dare to let my child appear. In Obsta's palace."

"Agnès, don't torture me like this." Count Calda buried his face in his palms in pain, and his tone was so humble that he didn't look like a count who was born in the royal family: "Even if the harm I caused to Isabella is never enough It cannot continue to increase.”

"Yes, you hurt the Grand Duchess of Aquique, but what about me!" Agnès slammed the wooden door of the church, angry like a lioness protecting her territory: "Because your ridiculous mother and even more ridiculous brother , am I not as hurt as Isabella?"

"My child can only live as an illegitimate child in an unopened sky, and the Grand Duchess Aquique..."

Agnès stared at Count Karda's fragile back, and said in a strange tone: "She is a high-ranking grand duchess, even your mother likes her so much that her name is included in the will, so she How could the children of my family have a bad life. Even Lucius..."

Thinking of the illegitimate child born to the Grand Duchess Aquique and King Obstar, Agnès was too angry to speak.

"Agnès, am I treating you and our children badly?" Count Calda said bitterly, "I dedicate most of my time to our children, ignoring Henry and Marianna."

"As a father, I can't even decide on my daughter's marriage, and I don't even dare to face them." Once upon a time, Count Calda wanted to be a good father in front of Henry and Marianne, but when he put it into action, But I found that I couldn't love them well.

Yes, Count Calda could not feel paternal love for Henry or Mariana.

Because he knew that Henry and Mariana didn't need him.

Didn't even want to see him much.

"Father, when do you plan to go to the Grand Duchy of Aquique?"

Just as Agnes and Count Karda were in a stalemate, a clear voice broke the stalemate between the two.

Agnes turned her head and saw that their eldest son, Selim, hadn't changed out of his morning exercise clothes, and was standing at the door of the church covered in sweat. His wheat-colored skin was bubbling and steaming, and under his messy short brown-red hair Eyes like the sky.

Because of the red-haired genes of Queen Mary and Prince Dunawa, most of Obsta's children have red hair or reddish chestnut hair, brown hair except for Innes, who looks like their mother.

Although Selim looked more like his father in appearance, his energetic appearance was the complete opposite of Count Karda, and even gave Count Karda the illusion that Queen Mary was still alive.

[If Selim has the opportunity to visit the Obsta Palace when he is sensible, maybe his mother will like him very much! 】

In a trance, Count Karda had a rather absurd thought, and then laughed at himself in his heart: 【How could Queen Mary like his illegitimate child.Such a proud person like her was utterly disappointed in her sons, and the only grandchildren who could make her smile was Mariana. 】

"Why did you come here without changing your clothes?" Agnes said angrily, "Hurry up and take a shower and change your clothes, so as not to catch a cold."

Looking at the eldest son who was always reckless, Agnes was not happy, but also began to worry about Selim's future.

She is not the Grand Duchess of Aquique who sent her eldest son to the temple cruelly.

Agnès is a very traditional mother, so she naturally hopes that Selim can marry a wife and have children. It is best to join the Obstar Knights when Count Calda is still in charge, and strive to gain the title of knighthood and even the official recognition of the royal family by virtue of military exploits.

And considering Earl Karda's limited resources, Agnes could only race against time to raise the eldest son first, and then let the accomplished "Selim" take care of the remaining children.

Although Agnes also hoped that Earl Calda would mention their child to the Grand Duchess Aquique, even if he let go and gave him the status of a knight.

However, Earl Calda did not dare to make such a request to the Grand Duchess Aquique, and Agnes could only let it go after forcing her several times.

[If her children can inherit the wealth and territory of Earl Karda, how can she be like a shameless bitch, begging for things from her lover's legal wife. 】

Agnès, who "threw away" her eldest son, sighed, her gaze fell on her not-so-young hands, and she only felt that the anxiety brought about by the passage of time was getting heavier and heavier.

What if Earl Karda had any accident, or King Obstar abdicated early, what would happen to their family?

Uncle could see that he was ashamed of Earl Calda, so he was more tolerant towards his illegitimate nephews and nieces, but Queen Obsta and her princes were different.

Thinking of the poisonous woman who ruined her possible marriage with Count Calda and directly caused the tragedy of the three of them, Agnès hated it, but also felt a bit of joy waiting to watch the show.

When the glory is gone and the love is no longer.

The fairy tale about the crown prince falling in love with the daughter of a little nobleman is nothing but chicken feathers left on the ground.

Although Karda is far away from Obsta's palace, Agnès knows that Queen Obsta has only one queen and three legal children to maintain her precarious status. .

It is true that King Obstar loved this woman who once broke the Obstar royal family, but when he actually married her and lived a relatively happy life, the temptations before the throne and the belongings The ruler's ambition made King Obstar regret his recklessness, and even wanted to restore his relationship with the Grand Duchess Aquique through Lucius.

Especially after the death of the Duchess of Brittania, the Grand Duchy of Aquiqui and the Duchy of Britannia may merge into one, King Obsta was so regretful that he could hardly sleep at night, tossing and turning on his mistress's bed.

If he hadn't abandoned the Grand Duchess Aquique.

So now, Lucius, the most promising son of King Obsta, is the Duke of Britannia and the crown prince of Aquiqui and Obsta.

And a hundred years after King Obstar, the Dunawa family will sit on one-third of the territory in the south, and may even unify the south and even the entire continent.
