The sun is shining brightly on the blue sea, white seabirds surround the sailboats laden with sea fish, and fishermen and merchants are haggling in the port, and the whole port presents a prosperous, busy scene.

Miluo Port, Lord's Palace.

On the balcony facing the sea, a dining table and parasols are set up, under which two graceful women sit and enjoy the distant sea view while elegantly sipping afternoon tea.

"Mother, how long are you going to stay this time?" The aristocratic girl in a light blue dress spoke softly, and a flaming light occasionally flashed in her ruby pupils.

Sitting opposite the aristocratic maiden is a charming and elegant lady with slightly pointed ears symbolizing her half-elf blood.

Hearing the girl's words, the noblewoman had a sad expression on her face: "Is Alice so unwilling to see me?" ”

Seeing the noble lady's exaggerated expression, the girl smiled helplessly and bitterly: "Mother, please don't play tricks on me. ”

The lady gently opened the folding fan in her hand and covered her lips, and the smile in the corner of her eyes was like a crescent moon, looking like a charming vixen.

The girl looked at the lady in front of her helplessly: "Mother, tell me your intention directly." You're not just here to talk to me, right? ”

"Ahh

"Now that the king is young, there should be a lot of pressure on my father in the royal city, right? If there's nothing particularly important, you shouldn't leave the royal city easily. ”

The noble lady smiled slightly, and suddenly closed the folding fan in her hand: "So, what do you think my purpose is?" ”

The girl picked up the black tea on the table, took a sip gently, and put it down.

"Are you going to let me get married?" The girl looked up at her mother.

The noblewoman smiled at the corner of her mouth: "Oh? Why do you think so? ”

"As men, the two brothers are obviously more suitable to inherit the duke's position than me, not to mention that I still have a 'blood conflict', even if I inherit the family heirloom Phantasm, I may not be able to advance to the gold level. Then as the daughter of a 'worthless' duke, marriage will be my final destination. The girl looked at the lady in front of her, "If I'm not mistaken, my fiancé must be the little king, right?" ”

"Oh?" The lady's smile was like that of a little fox, "The little king is seven years younger than you, and this is not a suitable person for his age. ”

"Now that the royal family's power is weak, the princess regent is probably unable to hold on to the three archdukes who are eyeing her, right? In this case, it is undoubtedly the best choice to divide the union between the three grand dukes by marriage. The girl's face was indifferent, but there was a bitterness at the corner of her mouth that could not be dissolved, "For my father, once he marries the royal family, it means that he will completely grasp the initiative, and both the Duke of Griffin and the Duke of Bucks will be driven out of the center of power." ”

The lady waited for the girl to finish her thoughts, and then burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! ~”

The noblewoman's laughter, regardless of etiquette, made the girl's face show a hint of confusion.

"My smart daughter~ Your political sense is indeed very powerful, but this time you have to guess wrong." The noble lady laughed for a while, then put away her smile, "It is the Despas family who proposed the marriage. ”

The girl's eyes couldn't help but widen: "That nerd family? Didn't those nerds have never been interested in politics? ”

There are five dukes in the kingdom of Palomia, among which the Despas family is a mage family, this family has always been not interested in politics and power, and only likes to stay in the territory to study and collect all kinds of knowledge, belonging to the outliers among the nobles, so they are nicknamed the "nerdy family" by the nobles.

Lady: "What they ask for is not a family marriage, but you." ”

"Me?" The girl looked dazed.

"Yes, all they need is you." The noble lady was silent for a moment, "They know what you have done in the territory, so they appreciate you very much, and hope that you can become a part of their family and help govern the family territory." ”

The girl couldn't help frowning: "What a faux pas!" Those heartless nerds really don't treat people as human beings at all! Is this intended to use me as a housekeeper? The girl looked at her mother suspiciously, "What else did they propose?" If that's the case, it stands to reason that you should just say no. ”

"They have a 'golden apple' in their hands, and they are willing to use that golden apple to improve your bloodline and heal your 'bloodline conflict'."

Hearing her mother's words, the girl frowned slightly.

The more powerful the creature, the more pronounced its bloodline characteristics become. For example, after the combination of angels and demons, there is a certain probability that the child born will have the power of both angels and demons, but it is more likely that they will die due to blood conflicts! Therefore, the Divine Family usually does not marry with the Demon Family, because it is very likely that the bloodlines of both parties will give birth to offspring with conflicting bloodlines, which is very difficult for nobles who worship bloodlines!

To this day, there are still some aristocratic families who maintain the tradition of consanguineous marriage, as a way to maintain the purity of the bloodline. But for those families who often marry, it is impossible to completely avoid the mixing of bloodlines, so there are occasionally people in these families who awaken the characteristics of two or even more bloodlines at the same time, if the awakened bloodlines can complement each other, it is naturally the best, but occasionally there are people who awaken the bloodlines with conflicting attributes.

And Alice is the unlucky guy whose awakened bloodlines clash with each other.

Alice has long silver hair that symbolizes the blood of the Moon Elves, but at the same time she has awakened the flame pupil of the fire dragon! Both bloodlines are powerful, but at the same time they are not very compatible, which makes the two bloodlines in Alice's body often break out into "war", and the outcome of the war will determine the direction of Alice's physical growth. The only thing to be thankful for is that the conflict between the Moon Elf and the Yanlong bloodline is not very intense, so Alice lived to be at least eighteen years old in good health, but at the same time, because of the bloodline conflict in her body, Alice's physical condition has not been very good.

Creation of life, that is the authority of the gods!

Although the nobles improved their bloodlines through marriage, they did not have the ability to directly transform their bloodlines, so the "bloodline conflict" was almost equivalent to an "incurable disease" for the nobles. However, this "incurable disease" is not really incurable - and the "Golden Apple" is the only legendary item that can improve the bloodline without any side effects.

"Even if I don't have the 'Golden Apple' to improve my bloodline, I can't die." Alice said lightly, "The bloodline conflict between the Moon Elf and the Flame Dragon will not lead to death. ”

"Golden apples are very rare, and if you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid you won't find it again." The lady spoke earnestly.

"Those nerds of the Despas family don't have a woman in their eyes at all! If I really get married, I will really only be able to use them as a servant and a tool for giving birth to children for the rest of my life. ”

"Hmm...... The Despas aren't as terrible as you say. A wry smile appeared on the lady's face, "Although they seem a little too rational under the influence of mechanical minds, they can still be reasonable. ”

"Mother, are you willing to live for the rest of your life with a group of monsters who have no feelings and don't treat you as a human at all?"

"Hmm...... Well, since you don't want to, forget it. The lady no longer insisted, "So what do you think about marrying the royal family?" If you marry the royal family, would you like it? ”

The girl was silent for a moment and sighed, "If this is for the sake of the family." ”
