"Do you mean that you've been locked up in the Mage Tower all this time, not eating or drinking, just relying on magical energy?" Princess Sophia couldn't help but sit up straight.

"Hmm!" Sean nodded, "In the past year, a lot of things have happened to the Eternal Night Commander, many of which can even have a profound impact on the Byron Alliance and Ashan, but unfortunately, there are many things now, I can't tell you now, otherwise I will just put you in a dilemma, and when you become the mistress of the Eternal Night Commander, even if you don't ask, I will tell you." ”

The Eternal Night Warlord is growing, and the Lord Sean is maturing.

Especially when facing the regent princess Sophia, what to say and what not to say has been mastered just right.

Lover with wife.

These are two very different concepts.

Because the responsibilities of these two words are not the same.

Before getting married, Sophia had her heart set on the royal family of Lancelot, which was a matter of course.

After getting married, if Sophia is dedicated to the Lancelot royal family, it will be a matter of eating inside and out.

This is true of the whole Byron Union.

The formation of such customs is inseparable from the large number of marriages between nobles.

If those wives who marry into the door are dedicated to their parents' family, and they have nothing to do to transfer benefits, will they still be able to live their lives?

However, in this era, the status of women in the lord and aristocratic family is not as low as imagined.

Many male hosts are out fighting, and it is common for the hostess to guard the house.

Of course, there are not no people who do this, but there are very few.

Once married, the man's property will belong to him, and if he sends his property out, even if it is to his biological parents and brothers, I am afraid that few people are willing to do this, after all, human nature is selfish.

Princess Regent Sophia can't escape this.

Although she has feelings for the royal family of Lancelot and Prince Laurie, she has not yet been selfless enough to give up her vested interests.

The princess fiefdom and the Iron Rose Knights in the eastern part of the Plains of Asia Minor, including some ambiguous territories, had always been firmly in her hands, and she had not given Prince Laurie any chance to interfere.

Sophia revealed a little bit of her true thoughts to Sean.

For her, the Lancelot royal family is the responsibility she carries, and for this responsibility, she has given the best fifteen years of her life, and she will not carry it without limit.

When Prince Laurie takes full power, it will be his responsibility, and whether he does it better or worse, it will no longer have a direct relationship with her.

She couldn't carry the Lancelot royal family and Prince Laurie for the rest of her life.

Although there are elements of complaints in it, it remains to be said whether it will be able to be so free and easy in the future.

At least Sophia is flesh and blood, with her own thoughts and desires.

"No wonder it feels like you're a little different this time than the last time. Sophia cupped Sean's chest, distanced the two of them, and looked at him seriously.

"Isn't it stronger and more durable than before?" said Sean, a little smugly.

Sophia glanced at Sean angrily and said, "That's what you came up with?"

"Don't you like it?" said Sean, laughing.

"Poor male self-esteem. Sophia didn't want to continue to get tired of the bed, they had been obsessed with it a little too much this week, and the gossip about her and Sean in Valesta was probably starting to fly again.

Even if you are a fool, you can see at this time that the relationship between the two is not just an alliance.

Whether it is Princess Regent Sophilia or Sean, they don't care as much as before, anyway, the marriage of the two is about to be put on the agenda, so they are about to choose a date and announce it to the public.

"Look at what?" Sean looked out of her gaze as he wrapped his arms around Sophia's slender waist from behind.

I saw that the lights were bright outside, and half of the king was close in front of him.

"I don't know how long this beautiful sight will last. Sophia sighed faintly.

"Why are you so sentimental today? This is not like you normally. Sean asked, raising an eyebrow.

"It's an eventful time. Sophia didn't answer Sean's question directly, and then sighed.

"Eventful?" Sean guessed, "do you mean the Theodin Empire knocking on the side, or is there a problem with the transfer of power to Laurie?"

"Although the Theodin Empire is powerful, there is a grandfather on top of it, so there is no need to worry too much. Sophia stopped talking, "But Laurie ......"

Sure enough.

There is no real unwavering change of power in this world, and many filthy things are hidden under the surface of the water, not known.

After all, it involves a huge number of interest groups, and the process of changing rights will inevitably affect the interests of some people.

Sean pretended not to know and said, "What's wrong with Laurie? Hasn't he performed very well in the past year? Whether it is among the lords and nobles, or among the ordinary people, he has a good reputation. ”

"It's not his character, but the way he does things lately, I don't understand it anymore. Sophia shook her head, and said with irrepressible worry on her beautiful face, "Recently, he and Enid have been a little too close, too abnormal. ”

"Enid, the Holy Lady of the Holy See?" a holy face flashed in Sean's mind.

To be honest, the unique aura on the Holy Lady of the Holy See is too strong and too recognizable, even if it is Sean, who has an amazing memory, the first thing that comes to mind is the unique aura on her body, and the specific appearance is not particularly clear.

Sean said suspiciously, "Isn't Laurie not very interested in those natural queen candidates?"

The last time they met in Brother Port, Laurie didn't show special care for Enid, but instead like a hot potato, he couldn't wait to throw his hand at Sean.

"That's why I say anomalous. Sophia's brow twisted into a pimple, "Soon after returning from the conference of scholars, he became closer and closer to Enid, and became interested in the Holy See and the God of Truth, and it felt like he had been enchanted......"

Sophia didn't say it very clearly, but Sean immediately understood what she was really worried about.

The Lancelot royal family, whether it is with the Holy See or the Witches, is not willing to get too deeply entangled.

Getting too close to either one would mean upsetting the balance, and the slightest carelessness could lead to a power game between two international powers that has been going on for centuries.

It is even possible to shake the balance of the Byron Union over the years, thus affecting the dominance of the Lancelot royal family.

Among them, the Holy Aether Holy See is the most, and over the years, they have been like vines, attached to the Byron Alliance to grow and develop.

The stronger they are, the more nutrients they draw from the Byronic League, and the weaker the dependents become.

Since the regent Princess Sophilia came to power, she has been trying to weaken the Holy Aether Holy See, and in order to recover the land belonging to the royal family, the relationship between the two sides was very tense, and to this day, barely see a little success.

Now that Prince Laurie has turned his head and married a holy woman of the Holy Aether as his queen, and if he is converted under his influence, all Sophia's previous efforts have been in vain, and it is really difficult to say what will happen to the Lancelot royal family in the future and what impact it will have on the Byron Alliance.

It is also possible that the divine power will override the royal power.

In the eyes of Princess Regent Sophielia, as the queen of the Lancelot royal family, Enid is undoubtedly the worst.

"Maybe he's just a little bit of a ghost, and he'll be fine after a while. Sean could only comfort Sophia like this.

It is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs.

Especially this kind of thing involving the rights of the royal family, Sean has no way to interfere at all.

The only thing you can do is to listen to Sophia complain and be mentally prepared.

If this happens, what will happen to the Eternal Night Warlords?

Sophia was clearly aware of this, and did not delve further into the topic.

When he sees Prince Laurie again, Sean finally understands why Sophia uses magic to describe Prince Laurie's transformation.

The difference between before and after is just too big.

Although Sean has not had much contact with Prince Laurie before, he also knows that he is not a member of the Holy Aether Holy See, and he is even full of disdain for the God of Truth in his words and deeds, after all, he is the future king of the Lancelot royal family, one of the most powerful people in the world, why does he bow to an ethereal existence?

But now Prince Laurie opened and closed his mouth, all with praise for the God of Truth, and those who have believed in the God of Truth for more than ten years, and Enid is even more intimate in and out, looking at her eyes full of tenderness and sweetness, which is the peculiar look of a lover.

On the contrary, Enid is not cold, just like when they first met in Brother Port, perhaps she is like this by nature, giving everyone a sense of distance, including Prince Laurie, who needs to be married.

In less than two months before and after, how could such a big contrast occur in one person?

Is it the magic that really exists in this world that changes a person's mind?

Or was Prince Laurie brainwashed?

Or is the soul in Prince Laurie's body no longer the one it used to be?

Either way, it's scary to think about.

No wonder Sophia, who has always been more assertive, was also a little panicked.

There is no way to do this kind of change in thinking.

It was impossible for her to break Prince Laurie's mind and see what he really thought.

He can't impose his will on him, which will not only cause a strong backlash from Prince Laurie, but also attract the hostility of the entire Lancelot royal family and the entire Byron Alliance.

Prince Laurie is no longer the little prince, he is now the new king who has been in the limelight.

If you impose your will on the other party, what is the difference between you and the previous regent?

When this happened to Prince Laurie, the first object of suspicion was naturally the Holy See.

Even if there is no criminal psychology in this world, everyone understands the simple truth that whoever benefits the most is the culprit who is the most likely to be the culprit.

The key problem is that there is no evidence.

One thing is for sure, the Lancelot royal family is in big trouble this time.

Not only did Prince Laurie appear around him with papal colors, but the members of the Holy Aether Holy See in the royal capital Valesta also became extremely active, and the influence it displayed made Sean feel a little frightened.

......

St. Ann's Land.

Cathedral of the Oracle.

During the New Year's celebrations, this sanctuary, which is claimed to be the closest to the true God, seems to be exceptionally empty and silent.

Most of the bishops and priests who usually gather here have returned to their churches to take charge of the New Year's carnival and other related matters.

As I said earlier, their faith organization is no longer pure, and they have taken advantage of the tax exemptions that the Holy See has to annex a lot of land.

Although Sophia had taken the lead in the inventory, it was impossible to recover all the land, and they and some of the cultists were actually still in employment.

Naturally, the New Year's carnival has to be expressed, and this kind of festivities, when the population is high, is also the best time for them to preach, and many of them take the initiative to go out to preach even if there is no church stationed.

An ascetic dressed in a sackcloth ascetic garb walked towards the oracle hall at a pace that was neither fast nor slow.

"Your Excellency, Your Majesty is in retreat, and it is not convenient to see guests. Two papal knights blocked the ascetic's path, "Please go back!"

This ascetic was none other than Cardinal St. George, who had made the situation more confusing and complicated for the Manyu Army.

He had not returned to the Manyur army since his last return to St. Ann's land under the auspices of Pope Delt for the 100th anniversary of his accession to the throne.

Some say that he was given a more important secret mission by Pope Delt.

Others say that he took the opportunity to get out of the swamp of the Manyu Army.

Regardless of the ultimate reason, St. George's departure undoubtedly relieved the new Grand Duke Patlem of the Manyu Army, and finally took over most of the power of the Manyu Army.

It's just that anyone with a discerning eye knows that the true essence of the Manyu military territory is in the territory of Countess Anjibena, regardless of population or geographical location, before getting her full allegiance, the strength of the Manyu military leader is still greatly reduced, and Patlem's words in the Byron Alliance can never be raised.

This has nothing to do with St. George.

Patlem is a typical ambitious talent, although he has a good desire to build the Manyu military leadership well, but when he really starts, he can't come up with any effective means.

If they want to lead the trade route like the Eternal Night Army, they can't get so many unique technologies and convenient geographical environment, but the only natural minerals that they can get their hands on - coal mines have been seized by Angie Bena Most of the market, and there is no opportunity for him to intervene in a short period of time.

If you want to follow the path of the princess regent's land, he doesn't have such a strong influence, although the land under the Manyu army is being restored, but it has been barren for so many years, and it is not easy to turn them into fertile land again.

As a result, it was tossed for a long time, and it was nondescript.

In addition, after being suppressed for so many years, there is no pressure on the fierce and fierce, and the Grand Duke of Patlaim is a little relieved, and he is addicted to all kinds of banquets and can't extricate himself.

Here there is not only wine, but also flattery from all directions, and you can forget the troubles of the world for a while.

As the saying goes, behind closed doors, flowers are blooming, who cares outside the door, there is hunger on the road.

Therefore, many people in the territory under Patlem began to miss St. George, after all, chaos at that time was better than inaction now.
