"Claudia, I'm sorry, I only told Carl."

Passing by, Claudia heard the other party's apology.

Now it is certain that Valadin told Carl the secret, but it seems that the rumors did not leak from Valadin, and Claudia did not think that Carl would betray herself, so who was spreading the rumors?

Quickly entered the Senate, the same place three days ago, the Senator was waiting for them, only this time it was Clara alone.

"I'm sorry, Claudia, something seems to have gone wrong." As soon as they met, the other party said so.

Claudia lowered her head, combined with the current situation, after thinking about it, she replied: "It can be redeemed now, as long as the Senate helps me clarify, it will definitely convince everyone, and then I will let Felik move out of my house to avoid suspicion, so that it will probably be fine." ”

"No, Claudia, marry Locke."

"Huh?!"

Claudia, who had been keeping her head down, looked up in surprise and looked at Clara with a shocked expression.

"Wait...... Wait, why?! The two of us weren't a good fit, and suddenly asked me to marry him, which ...... That's unreasonable, isn't it? Claudia was quick to object.

It's normal for a brother and sister to marry in the blood clan, but Claudia doesn't want her to marry that kind of waste.

She has made a lot of contributions to the blood clan, and shouldn't the Senate respect her opinion a little bit when making such a decision?

"Claudia, unfortunately, this is the final decision made by the Senate, and it is also the most appropriate decision, and it will not change." Clara said coldly with an expressionless face: "Do you know, it was Locke who reported you in the first place." ”

The moment she heard this, Claudia's hands couldn't help but clench, and her face became terrifying in an instant.

"Don't show such a terrible expression, you and Locke will have to get along for a long time in the future, so be a little restrained." Clara said: "Your identity and bloodline are only suitable for Locke, isn't it?" ”

Claudia knew that Clara was right.

There is a strict hierarchy within the blood clan, which is divided into monarchs, senators, princes, elders, lords, clans, and then half-blood clans such as blood servants.

The blood monarch is the strongest person in the blood clan, so powerful that he does not need to rely on power and territory, he can rule all the blood clans by himself, the only one from ancient times to the present, three thousand years ago sleeping until now, if the monarch woke up a thousand years ago, then the outcome of that war may be rewritten, his status is supreme, and wisdom is unattainable.

And the prince is second only to the monarch in existence, the prince at the beginning is a powerful blood family endowed with blood by the monarch, there are only five people, and they have long been gone.

But after a long period of rule changes, the current prince is no longer only the original five, as long as there is strong strength and sufficient contribution, then he will be given this supreme title, and when he becomes a prince, he will be free from the control of the senate.

The strength of the prince is about the same as that of the senators, and the power is about the same, if you have to make it clear, the senate is equivalent to governing the core of the blood clan, and the princes are in charge of the lords around the world, if the senate wants to order a prince, then a princely meeting must be held, and the princes can agree.

For the sake of the stability of the order, marriage naturally has to follow status, generation, and bloodline, except that the monarch and the prince have a system of dependents who can ignore the rules, and they must also be followed, and Claudia, the daughter of the senator, must also be followed.

And that's where the most critical question lies.

In terms of seniority, Claudia is the daughter of the senator, and only the son of the prince or senator can be worthy, but when Augustus gave birth to her and Locke, those of the other generation were already married, but the same age was hundreds of years higher, and there was no intersection, it was impossible at all.

And in terms of bloodline, the same is true, it is necessary to get married and have children, what kind of marriage can you get married without having children?

Combining various factors, the most suitable person is only her waste brother Locke, and Claudia really can't accept this reality.

The reason why she worked hard and contributed was also to reject this established result, and finally she had the right to speak, and she could finally stay single, and now the Senate suddenly let herself marry Locke, Claudia couldn't accept it at all.

"Wait, why do you have to marry him? I don't understand! Claudia protested loudly.

"Don't you understand? It's Locke who reports you, and even if our Senate is trying to settle things, he doesn't seem to be going to stop there, and those rumors are his masterpiece. ”

"Humph!" Claudia let out a sneer: "It's inconceivable that the Senate would be threatened by a piece of waste. ”

"Watch your words." Clara reminded indifferently.

It is said that Locke refuses to stop, but with the Senate, it is absolutely possible to shut up that waste, and now it is clear that the Senate wants her to marry Locke, if she guesses correctly, the Senate has begun to doubt her loyalty, after all, she and Felik have a fallen god contract, in order to ensure that the Devourer does not betray, she must be completely on the same front with the bloodline, and marriage and childbirth are undoubtedly the best way to bind.

Marriage is only the first step, and after that, the Senate will definitely use various excuses to restrict their personal freedom, separate themselves from Felik, and use her as a tool to control Felik.

It's ridiculous that after so many years of desperate life for the clan, I didn't expect it to end up being a prop used to bind the Devourer.

Claudia knew that this time she could not refuse, the Senate would not let go of any factor that might threaten the Bloodline, especially with the Devourer, who were determined to marry her, and if she became pregnant, they would use this to dismiss her from her post and put her under house arrest in the Holy Land.

"Sorry! I disagree! ”

Claudia looked up in surprise and looked to the side, where Felik stepped forward and stood in front of Clara.

"I won't allow Claudia to marry that Locke!"

Felik's expression was serious, extremely solemn, his purple eyes flashed with a cold light, and he looked directly at Clara, and his momentum did not flinch.

Clara looked at this unbelievable human youth, and felt a wave of anger in her heart for no reason, like a hungry wolf being provoked by a lamb.

"Do you have your turn! I don't care about you! ”

Clara directly swung out with one hand, and Felik raised his left arm, steadily receiving Clara's attack in the air shock, immobile as a mountain.

Clara's eyes flashed with surprise, she withdrew her hand, and said in a deep voice with a cold face: "You can't change the decision of the Senate. ”

"Really?" Felik let out a sneer: "I don't think so. ”
