"Augustus, have you read today's newspaper? Elizabeth is on the throne! Johanna shouted to her husband, Duke Christian Augustus.

Since getting married, especially after giving birth to Sophia and William, Johanna has never been more excited than she is today.

Her husband, the Duke of Christian Augustus, was rubbing his knees with medicine.

The Duke suffered from gout, so he had to be wiped with medicinal wine from time to time.

"Which Elizabeth? My dear lady? Duke Augustus asked.

As he spoke, the pot-bellied duke lowered his head and continued to massage his knees with medicinal wine.

"I know two Elizabeths. One works in the pharmacy next door, fantasizing about her elephant-like feet in a crystal slipper; The other is Elizabeth Koskawa, whose husband is a manure picker, but she calls herself a princess. ”

Johanna glared at her husband, lamenting how she could have married such a man.

Christian Augustus had the title of duke, but that didn't mean anything.

In the continent of Calradia, there are all kinds of obscure, poor and miserly aristocrats; Their ancestors may have been developed, but in the next generation, because they could not inherit the "blue blood" passed down from their ancestors, they became members of the ordinary class, except for titles, and had nothing.

Blue blood, this is the only criterion for Calradia to judge whether a person is noble or not. Because only blue-bloods have all kinds of abilities.

Fire, Frost, Thunder, ...... All sorts of magical superpowers that only blue-bloods can possess.

No one knows how the Blue Bloods came about. It is only known that the first blue-blooded man was Kalade I, and his superpower was thunder. Because of this innate ability, in the Battle of Dehrim, Kalard I single-handedly defeated hundreds of Kalradian knights, thus being subdued and embraced by everyone, and established the Kallad Empire.

During the fifty-year reign of Karad I, he had a total of fifty wives and lovers. These wives and lovers bore him two hundred sons and daughters. Most of these sons and daughters inherited their father's blue-blooded talent, and they branched out, thus laying the foundation for blue-bloods to rule the continent.

Although the empire founded by Kalard I two hundred years later was divided into the Nord, Rhodok, Vecchia, and Svadia kingdoms, they were all ruled by his descendants, the Blue-Bloods, or Blue-Blooded Nobles.

And the reason why most of Callad's descendants inherited their father's blue blood is because some of them have red blood.

At first, the blue-blooded people didn't realize what was wrong with it, and there was no taboo to marry between a blue-blooded and a red-blooded person.

Fifty years ago, Cavendish discovered that the probability of a blue-blooded and blue-blooded offspring being a blue-blooded person was much higher than that of a blue-blooded and red-blooded person.

The discovery shocked the continent. In order to maintain the number of blue-blooded people, the rulers of various countries consciously advocated "pure-blood" marriage.

But by this time, many blue-blooded people already had red-blooded wives or husbands.

Christian Augustus' father was a blue-blooded nobleman of the Nord kingdom, and his mother was a red-blooded man. Unfortunately, Christian Augustus' blood was red after birth. Although Cavendish's research also states that there is a possibility of blue-bloods among the descendants of half-breeds like Duke Augustus, Cavendish admits that this possibility is only theoretical, at least he has never seen it himself.

As an adult, Christian Augustus served in the army of King Wilhelm of Nord. Ten years later, he became a battalion commander.

This is also the highest military rank that a half-breed can attain.

Augustus was honest and optimistic, and this position was completely achieved by his qualifications. If there are no accidents, he will also have the rank of battalion commander until he retires. And he was happy to do so.

When the Duke was 42 years old, Augustus followed the advice of his family and decided to marry and have children. His father chose Johanna for him, a young lady of the Holstein family.

At the time, Johanna was 15 years old.

Similar to the Duke's situation, Johanna was also a red-blooded man. But luckily for Augustus, Johanna had two older brothers compared to the only son, the Augustan family, and they were lucky enough to inherit the blue blood.

The Duke was content with such a marriage, but Johanna was dissatisfied. Although both are mixed-race, Johanna feels superior to her husband because she has two blue-blooded brothers. And the good family conditions since childhood also allowed Johanna to develop a conceited and pampered temper.

Suppressing the anger that was about to erupt from her heart, Johanna said, "No, it's Elizabeth Romanoff. You forget, it's the one who almost married my brother Charlie. Do you remember, the fat, white one. ”

Unaware that he had almost caused another eruption, the Duke looked up at the ceiling.

Whenever the Duke wanted to think of something in the back of his mind, he would do it.

After a while, the Duke finally remembered who Elizabeth was.

"It's Elizabeth!" The duke suddenly realized.

Elizabeth Romanoff was the daughter of Peter, the former king of the Kingdom of Vecchia. She was born legendary.

That day, December 18th. Elizabeth's father, Peter, won a great victory over the Nord pirates, killing 2,000 pirates. On the day he returned to the city, Elizabeth was born. It is said that the moment she landed, the whole delivery room was covered in thin ice, and the maid and midwife shivered with cold, but the baby Elizabeth laughed instead of crying.

King Peter, who was also a frost supernatural, was overjoyed with his daughter's abilities and immediately gave him the name Elizabeth, which means "swear in the name of God."

Growing up, Elizabeth was so gifted that she was able to gather water into ice at the age of twelve.

At this time, his father, Peter, who was fifty-two years old, was no more than that.

Although Elizabeth was gifted, King Peter had a son and a daughter before Elizabeth was born. Therefore, although he has an unusual love for Elizabeth, he cannot cross the two children to make Elizabeth the heir. Because according to the ancestral system of the Kingdom of Vekia, only the eldest son has the right to inherit.

By the time Elizabeth was 15 years old, she had already become an outstanding beauty. The Svadia ambassador to Zhivadin, the capital of Vickya, once described Elizabeth with some exaggeration: "I have never seen such a beautiful woman. Charming faces, twinkling eyes, perfect lips, neck and chest are as white as snow. She is tall and lively, and you can feel her liveliness and intelligence.

Such a beauty, King Peter, of course, hoped that she would have a wonderful husband. At first, King Peter wanted to marry Haraus II of Swadia, but the blood-conscious Haraus II and his courtiers rejected the offer - Elizabeth was undoubtedly a blue-blooded woman, but her mother was a red-blooded person. Svadia did not want a "mongrel" to sit on the throne in the future, and did not even want someone of this origin to touch the hands of a member of the royal family.

was rejected by Svadia for marriage, which disgraced King Peter. But at that time, he was powerless to take revenge on the Kingdom of Svadia. In desperation, King Peter turned to two other countries to find a husband for his daughter.

At this time, King Peter was introduced to Johanna's brother Charlie Holstein.

Although King Peter felt that Charlie Holstein's background was not worthy of his daughter, he still agreed to let Charlie Holstein and Elizabeth meet for the sake of the sponsor's face.

This meeting, the two fell in love at first sight.

And King Peter, of course, would not disobey his daughter. He immediately decided to marry Elizabeth to Charlie and invited Charlie to serve in the Kingdom of Vecchia.

Unfortunately, the god of happiness did not favor the couple. Shortly after the engagement, Charlie contracted smallpox.

God is unfair to mankind by dividing them into blue-blooded and red-blooded; God is also fair, and He treats blue-blooded and red-blooded people equally in the face of disease and aging.

Charlie, who was suffering from an incurable disease, died and Elizabeth's happiness was gone.

She didn't choose to remarry — even if she didn't give up finding solace in other men.

At the age of 17, Elizabeth's father, King Peter, died. He was succeeded by his son, Elizabeth's elder brother Alexei.

Perhaps fearful of Elizabeth's abilities, Alexei put his two sisters under house arrest as soon as he sat on the throne.

Elizabeth had the ability to resist, but she chose to accept it.

For 15 years, although there was no need for food and clothing, Elizabeth and her sister lived like prisoners.

During this time, Elizabeth's sister, Princess Anna, unfortunately died.

And when Elizabeth's brother Alexei died of illness after fifteen years on the throne, and everyone was ready to support King Alexei's widow Prince Ivan to succeed to the throne, Elizabeth suddenly attacked and put all the ministers loyal to Prince Ivan and the former king under house arrest.

This is what Christian Augustus knew, about Elizabeth Romanoff.

The Duke took a towel and wiped the medicine from his hands.

"I really didn't expect her to be a queen in her own right. You must know that in the continent of Calradia, there has never been a woman who has been king. The Duke said with a sigh.

He mistakenly thought that his wife wanted to hear her opinion on Elizabeth's accession to the throne.

Johanna gave her husband another fierce look.

It's exhausting to live with someone who doesn't have the same outlook on life and values.

"Augustus, please stop selling your intelligence. I don't care if Elizabeth is the first female king of Calradia. I'm just concerned about how she will benefit our family if she becomes king of the kingdom of Vekia. You know, the Queen, she's always been obsessed with my brother Cha. And I'm Charlie's favorite sister······"

Johanna's words said that Christian Augustus, no matter how stupid he was, knew what his wife was going to do.

The Duke was inexplicably surprised.

"You're going to hug Elizabeth's thigh?"

"What hug the thighs and don't hug the thighs. Just the usual greetings and contact between relatives. Now that Elizabeth is queen, I should write a letter to congratulate her. ”

Johanna said just do it. She sat down on her husband's desk and began to write.

Johanna spoke with ease, but the Duke was embarrassed. The thought that their family had never been in contact with Elizabeth in the past 15 years, and when they learned that the other party had become the queen, they were impatient to pull a relationship and get close, and the upright duke felt red.

"Johanna, I want to ······"

The Duke wanted to make another effort to stop his wife from clinging to the dragon, when Mr. Rollin, the music teacher that the Duke had hired for his two children, walked in.

Rollin looked unhappy.

He said to the duke: "Your Royal Highness, your daughter Princess Sophia has skipped class again. ”
