Chapter 136: Attracting Bees and Butterflies III
Looking at the old servant's or twitching corpse, the anger in Matthew's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a cold like the depths of an ancient well. Killing people is an effective way to vent anger, but it doesn't solve the looming problem. The old earl had decided to make Caesar the crown prince, which meant that even if Matthew could take the earl through a coup d'Γ©tat in the future, he would not be the legitimate earl.
It's too much of a hassle.
You must know that in the continent of Acacia, whether the monarch's position can be secured depends largely on your legitimacy, if you are not a legitimate monarch, then first of all, courtiers, knights and nobles who are loyal to the previous monarch will not recognize your legitimacy.
Don Quixote, for example.
Then, even the middle and lower classes of the people would never submit to a rebellious king.
For example, the merchants, the poets, the scholars, the soldiers, the peasants.
Even if Matthew can ascend to the throne in the future, if Caesar, the orthodox prince, does not die, as long as he raises his arms and shouts, he Matthew is a usurper, a thief, and a traitor!
At that time, the whole country of Savoy will respond to Caesar's call and gather under his command to crusade against Matthew.
That's why Matthew is furious, his anger is so hot that he even needs to kill people to calm down!
He desperately needed to see the Count, and by whatever means, he had to change his mind, or delay his appointment of a prince, at least... At least he won't be able to open his mouth and announce that will after 3 days.
As long as he does not set up a prince, then at least, there is no question of legality and illegality.
And just as he was thinking, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the house.
Matthew restrained his cold expression, casually spread his cloak over the old servant's corpse, and then opened the door.
With the sound of the doorshaft turning, a dusty, gloomy man appeared in Matthew's field of vision.
Matthew smiled and said, "My friend, you're finally here, how are things going?" β
This man was Matthew's chief staff, Adams.
Adams glanced at Matthew's body, which was covered under the cloak, but that couldn't hide it from Adams' eyes.
Adams was a clever fellow, and he knew that sometimes he had to pretend to be blind, so he bowed and said with a blank face, "Maria has arrived." β
"Really? Invite her in. β
Adams didn't move, but reminded with some caution: "There are three men by her side. β
"Men?" Matthew's eyes instantly turned cold, but in an instant, they returned to normal. He said lightly: "Very good... Very good... This is the most beautiful flower in the Duolun Plain... Hum! I went to pick her up myself. β
Adams sighed slightly, he knew very well what Matthew was, the calmer the expression of this seemingly gentle viscount, the more angry his heart became, the old servant who had served him for 15 years had died innocently, it was conceivable that the anger in his heart was burning.
Indeed, such humiliation is not something that every man can endure.
"You clean up here and don't scare Lady Maria."
"Yes."
Matthew closed his eyes, then opened them, and reappeared with a warm and sunny smile, he walked out of the mansion and stood at the end of the wind and rain flower path, and the mansion gate at the end of the flower path on the other side of the flower path also slowly opened.
A very charming, mature, and amorous blonde young woman appeared in his field of vision.
This is indeed a mature woman, she has long wavy blond hair, her waist is not very slender, her cheeks are very plump, her arms are a little thick, but her chest is extraordinarily grand. Her figure is fully proportioned and plump, and it looks very lustful at first glance, but it is definitely not perfect. Her long, narrow blue eyes, the tail of the eyes are slightly hooked, and the eye waves flow under the reflection of the moonlight, which has a feeling of seduction.
It's so flattering.
This woman.
No wonder people say that she is the most beautiful flower in the Duolun Plain.
Matthew looked at this woman and had to admit that this was a woman who could make most men feel bloody, and perhaps as long as she hooked her beautiful fingers, a large number of men would rush to fall under her skirt.
But among them, he is by no means included.
Matthew was well aware that for an aristocrat like him, marriage was just a political tool, and Maria, although big-breasted, was by no means a brainless woman, and she was well aware of this.
Maria walked step by step on the marble paved flower path, surrounded by layers of wind and rain flowers, under the moonlight, her slightly loose skin was painted with a dazzling silver white, at this time, she was like a goddess, beautiful and flawless.
She walked up to Matthew and looked at her future husband carefully, and after such a long time, she laughed and said straight to the point: "You are a very tasteful old man, maybe you are very handsome, very intelligent, very attractive, but I want to tell you in advance, I am a normal woman, I am 40 years old, at my age, a man cannot satisfy me." β
Matthew's eyes suddenly became cold, he looked at this woman coldly, and for a moment, he wanted to strangle her to death, and then desecrate the body a hundred times in the most cruel and vicious way!
But immediately, he calmed down. Behind this woman is the Medis family, and killing her is tantamount to ruining his alliance with Medis with his own hands.
He said lightly: "I understand you, neither of us should interfere in each other's lives. β
Maria laughed, and the moment she raised the corners of her mouth, it seemed as if a hundred styles had climbed up to her eyebrows. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as you don't interfere in my life, I won't interfere in your life." Even... Hehe, you can even use me as a bargaining chip to sacrifice me to the monarchs of other countries, firstly, because I want to taste the monarch, and secondly, I am beautiful enough, I can win some political bargaining chips for you... History tells us that women, especially beautiful women, can get the power, status, and wealth you want as long as they are beautiful enough, right? β
Matthew looked at Maria coldly and said, "You're right, my purpose in marrying you is to get the support of your family. So, the question is, you have arrived at my mansion, when will your family's army arrive here? β
Maria smiled and gently pulled her collar a little, revealing a deep furrow. She said in disgust, "Are all men like you?" If you come up and talk about this kind of uninteresting thing, am I not attractive at all? β
Matthew sneered and said, "Do you want it?" Great, let's get started now! β
Maria shook her head and said, "Don't worry, have you forgotten what I told you?" A man can't satisfy me. β
She clapped her hands, and three more tall, handsome men walked in, prostrate under Maria's skirt, constantly touching her body.
Maria smiled: "Look, everyone is together, let's start." β
