0484 National Goddess Adeline (5/5)
After briefly learning about the mysterious situation in Radiant City with Bernice, Suge turned to ask, "How is the development of the church in the imperial capital now?"
Bernice smiled: "Very steady, I am currently mainly responsible for the familiarization and enveloping of the middle and low-end nobles, and at the same time docking with the Glass family." The teacher is mainly responsible for the high-end aristocratic intersection. β
After listening to this, Su Ge said with a relaxed expression: "Tulip Marquis, this name seems to be famous in the imperial capital. β
The Marquis of Tulip is Adeline's current name in the imperial capital, and she is now the celebrity next to Revodine III.
Although he had just been promoted to Marquis for more than a year, his beauty and wisdom were very famous in Radiant City and even in the entire empire.
Bernice smiled: "To be honest, I don't even know what happened now, and the teacher suddenly became the daughter of the old Marquis Tulip." β
The title of marquis represents the true upper class of the empire, the core of power.
Powerful generals like Green and Cos are now only marquises.
How Adeline managed to get to this position, Suge didn't quite know the details. But in the past, when I listened to Vanas's introduction, I briefly talked about it.
Adeline used her own resources and means to make the old Marquis Tulip, who had problems with childbirth due to her youth and had no children, think that Adeline was an accidental product of raping a noble girl in the countryside by chance when she was young.
As a result, Adeline, who was old enough to be the mother of the old marquis, became the only son of the old duke.
This incident alarmed many people at that time, including the church, and His Majesty the Emperor personally inquired and investigated the matter, but did not find any problems.
So, the terminally ill Marquis Tulip hurriedly declared Adeline his heir.
Because according to the rules of the state, if the family does not have a legal heir, the rest of the estate and wealth will go to the empire and the church.
Although the old marquis is an out-and-out waste, he still doesn't dare to do such a rebellious thing that has been passed down for hundreds of years by cutting off the children and grandchildren of this family.
A month after Adeline became heir, the old Marquis died of a bacterial infection caused by kidney failure, leaving Adeline with a devastated mess.
Just when the entire aristocratic circle was ready to see how this mature, intellectual, and sexy beauty should operate, Adeline, who had been well-educated since childhood (shown in the data), showed her excellent upbringing and talent, and by constantly selling off old assets, reorganizing existing assets, and completing a gambling agreement with two investment companies at the same time, the Tulip family, which had been in decline for more than ten years, actually rose rapidly in a year and re-became a new star of the upper class nobles in the imperial capital.
At the same time, His Majesty the Empire, Revoldin III, also noticed the excellent talents of this marquis, and personally ordered Adeline to be recruited into the cabinet.
Soon, like a legend, she showed her keen aptitude for politics and finance, giving her majesty fifteen words in a row.
And these fifteen admonitions made His Majesty very satisfied.
Within a few months, this beautiful marquis became a celebrity next to His Majesty, and there were even rumors that the Tulip Marquis was about to join His Majesty's staff office and become a staff member who could influence the ruling policies of the empire.
Just when Adeline became the dream goddess of all aristocratic youths, and the suitors of people could shoot hundreds of meters away, the most surprising situation appeared for everyone.
I don't know why, two months ago, the dream lover of countless men in the empire announced his fiancΓ©.
Geros Byron, an archbishop of the Church of the Holy Blood.
If it's just the archbishop, it's not a big problem.
However, this archbishop is a witcher without any feelings, an inhuman monster.
For this marriage, everyone in the entire empire was frantically opposed for a while, and those fanatical male fans of Adeline even blocked the door of Shishengmen for a week in a row, and even the aristocratic circle issued a strong protest.
Because of the four dukes in the imperial capital, there is no one who is not eager to welcome this perfect woman into the house.
However, in the face of such a horrific protest, neither the royal family nor the church wavered in this time, showing a terrifying resoluteness.
That's when everyone knew that this was another cold political marriage.
For many years, the Church suppressed the royal family and had strong control over the royal family.
And the Tulip family is a family with no faith at all, and at the same time they are typical royalists.
Adeline's meteoric rise has created a crisis for the church.
This marriage can be seen by everyone that it is the absolute suppression of the royal family by the church.
Because to marry such a perfect woman to an emotionless church monster, this can be called a real-life version of Beauty and the Beast.
Bernice said with a smile: "You were not in the imperial capital at that time, during that period of time, the entire imperial capital was full of mourning, all the aristocratic single young people, single middle-aged people every day as if the whole world owed him hundreds of thousands of Langke, I couldn't help but want to laugh when I saw it." β
Hearing this, Su Ge couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, with Adeline's reputation and status at that time, she was even higher than those top stars, and she could be called the goddess of the whole people, I heard Vanas say that she received more than a thousand love letters and 40,000 flowers a day." β
"Yes, it was spectacular at the time, but it also annoyed the teacher, and there were many red-eyed people who used all kinds of means to sneak in and harass them. Bernice said with a hint of reminiscence.
Su Ge looked at Shiryl, who was still enjoying herself, and made sure that she was still enjoying the cat state, and continued: "Such a national goddess suddenly married an old man, or a demon hunter who has no feelings and kills people without blinking, this kind of gap is estimated to make many people hang themselves directly." β
Bernice said proudly: "After the marriage contract was announced, there were many people who did not give up and wrote to the teacher frantically, saying that they wanted to help the teacher. I really don't know how good a person Lord Geros is, how can he be compared to those wastes who know all day long to ask for flowers and willows?"
Su Ge smiled and said, "But I like the drama of this drama, and I really want to see the disappointed faces of those people when I have the chance." β
Bernice laughed happily after hearing this, and then asked: "I heard from the teacher that after the two people of this marriage contract were summed up, it was proposed by Lord Geros and initiated by the church, but I didn't expect the emperor to agree so happily." β
"He has no capital to refuse. Suge recalled the two generals just now.
"He needs to stabilize the church, and at the same time, he needs a person who can constantly communicate and contain the church. It is estimated that when Adeline proposed the plan, she had already passed the anger with the emperor. β
