Chapter 204: Marcia's Worries

After sending away Hugo, who finally calmed down, but his face was quite ugly, Luo Sheng couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"I didn't expect that I would now have the qualifications to let the princess marry, this can be regarded as a successful counterattack, right?" After silently complaining in his heart, Luo Sheng's expression did not become relaxed, but a little more dignified.

"It seems that this Majesty Raymond is still unwilling!"

Although he has been on the Isle of Truth for the past few months, Rason is not ignorant of the changes in the situation in the Elson Kingdom. Before Bunier completed the construction of the portal, King Elson had already established a remote transmission of information with the Isle of Truth. The major events that happened in Elson will be sorted out by a special person every day and reported to the Truth Island side. And Luo Sheng, as a member of the inner ring of the Island of Truth, has the right to consult relevant information.

During these months, Raymond successfully obtained the King's Scepter from the old king and ascended the throne. But because of the wrong choice after the Battle of Snow Dragon Pass, the situation in the kingdom did not completely fall into his hands as he imagined.

Relying on the prestige of the Banson family, the Nine-Ring White Tower still entered Elson strongly even when Raymond deliberately resisted, and relied on the 'inheritance' of the Benson family to easily attract a large number of local nobles, forming an alliance of interests, and gaining a firm foothold in Elson.

And Baron Cook, who was originally suppressed by Raymond's suspicion, did not swallow his anger as Raymond expected, but chose to cooperate with the Nine Rings White Tower, gave up his status as a private minister of the royal family, and asked to be knighted according to his military merits. With the support of the White Tower of the Nine Rings and many aristocratic forces, Baron Cook directly obtained the title of marquis and the corresponding fief, and became a local nobleman with real power who could play power games with the royal family in one fell swoop.

In this way, a new aristocratic alliance was formed, with the White Tower of the Nine Rings as the backer, the Marquis of Cook as the representative, and many local nobles as the foundation. Although this alliance was far from sufficient to suppress the royal power, it also formed a considerable degree of counterweight to the Elson royal family. So Raymond was not as happy as he expected.

Originally, Luo Sheng thought that it had been a month or two since the enthronement ceremony, and all kinds of power games had reached a balance, and Raymond should have accepted the current reality. After all, although the aristocratic alliance supported by the Nine Rings White Tower has a certain check and balance on the royal power, it does not specifically oppose Raymond, and the main power of the Elson Kingdom is still in Raymond's hands.

But judging from the fact that Raymond Ken used his daughter Susan as a bargaining chip and was ready to win him over, Rosen knew that the new king was obviously not prepared to accept this kind of checks and balances, and was still trying to break up this disobedient aristocratic alliance.

After seeing the methods of the Nine-Ring White Tower, Raymond will definitely not want to suppress the influence of the Nine-Ring White Tower as he did at the beginning. It is simply unrealistic to confront such a behemoth as the Nine-Ring White Pagoda with the strength of a small country. So Raymond didn't dare to confront the Nine-Ring White Tower, and began to try to pull the Nine-Ring White Tower to his side. And Luo Sheng is the breakthrough point for Raymond to close the White Tower of the Nine Rings.

"But the new king's vision is quite accurate, and the teacher's signboard is really easy to use!"

Although Hugo was full of sincerity, of course Luo Sheng would not think that Raymond really valued him as a person, and chose to marry Princess Susan to himself. In fact, the reason why Raymond is so generous is essentially to take advantage of Luo Sheng's identity as a disciple of Quinnier. After all, Quinil's disciple, a member of the inner ring of the Nine Rings White Tower, married the princess of Elson, which undoubtedly represents the union of the Nine Rings White Tower and the Elson royal family, which is of extraordinary political significance.

With this marriage, even if the Nine Rings White Tower does not favor the Elson royal family, at least it will no longer significantly help the noble alliance to balance the royal power. Without the suppression of the Nine Rings White Tower, Raymond could easily dismantle this unstable alliance of nobles and regain sole power.

"I originally thought that Luo Sheng would accept this marriage contract. Just when Luo Sheng sighed at the eyes and calculations of the new king, a breeze blew, and the figure of Marcia appeared in front of Luo Sheng, and said to Luo Sheng slightly strangely.

As the main person in charge of the cooperation between the Nine Rings White Tower and the Elson Kingdom, Marcia and Bunier are also familiar with each other, and they are one of the few Elson high-level leaders who can freely enter and exit the Mage Tower, so when Hugo did not leave, Masia had already entered the Mage Tower. When Hugo left, through Hugo's face, Macia easily judged Rason's choice.

"I'm not stupid enough to trade my life's happiness for something like that. Luo Sheng shook his head and said lightly.

Regarding Marcia's sudden appearance, Luo Sheng did not show any surprised looks. Although the Storm Swordsman is at home with explosive power, it doesn't mean that this hidden class is only better than combat. In fact, after the Storm Swordsman enters the Golden Rank, he needs to comprehend the laws of the wind and thunder systems at the same time, as long as the cultivation is enough, there are actually quite a lot of wonderful uses. For example, the 'Wind Walk' that Marcia just used is an application of the power of the laws of the wind system.

As for Marcia's question, Luo Sheng is even more calm. If it was just when he crossed over, the young man had a temperament, and when he encountered the matter of the princess marrying, he might not hesitate to agree. But after all the hardships of his previous life, Luo Sheng has long since faded away from that impetuousness, and it is impossible for him to sell himself for some benefits.

"I can't even look down on the collection of the legendary level, I really don't know if Luo Sheng is confident or arrogant!" Marcia was slightly stunned, and then understood what Luo Sheng meant, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "But I have to admit that Alyssa has a good eye. ”

Originally, in Marcia's opinion, there was a good chance that Luo Sheng would accept this political marriage. After all, marrying Princess Susan, Luo Sheng is equivalent to being able to get the dual support of the Nine Rings White Tower and the Elson Kingdom at the same time, which is of great benefit to Luo Sheng's personal cultivation and the development of territorial forces. What's more, Princess Susan is also a famous beauty in Elson, and with the title of princess, ordinary men can't refuse such a temptation at all.

And even if Luo Sheng refuses this marriage, the biggest possibility is that he is afraid of the attitude of the Nine Ring White Tower behind him. Marcia didn't expect that the reason given by Luo Sheng was purely for personal happiness. In other words, for the sake of his relationship with Elisa, Luo Sheng directly rejected the invitation of a legendary family, which made Marcia have to look at Luo Sheng with admiration.

"Maybe it's arrogance. However, I was taught by Mr. Quinner, and some of the Elson family's collection of books alone was far from impressing me. Luo Sheng said with a smile. For Marcia, the elder who almost regarded Alyssa as his own daughter and had awakened himself, Luo Sheng still respected him very much. Especially when the other party appeared as a 'quasi-mother-in-law', Luo Sheng didn't dare to slack off.

"Although it sounds a little arrogant, Luo Sheng, you do have the qualifications to say such things. Now that you've decided to be with Alyssa, just call me Auntie. Marcia glanced at Rasheng and finally nodded, his tone much kinder.

As a high-level political leader in Elson, Marcia certainly knows the price that Rason has paid for making this choice. Luo Sheng refused to marry Princess Susan, which was equivalent to rejecting Raymond's woo and firmly sided with the Marquis of Cook. In this way, Rassen not only failed to get the benefits promised by Raymond, but also became the political opponent of the new king. Although with the identity of Quinir's disciple, Raymond may not dare to make trouble in the already agreed titles and territories, but in the future, the development and construction of Rasheng's territory will definitely be secretly suppressed and hindered in many ways, and the loss in the middle will be too great.

However, it is precisely because Luo Sheng paid such a big price and still chose to be with Alyssa that Marcia really believed that Luo Sheng was sincere to Alyssa, and Luo Sheng had a qualitative improvement in both identity and personal strength, and he was already a well-deserved genius, and Marcia finally recognized this 'quasi-son-in-law'.

"Yes. Then Aunt Marcia, do you have something to do with this time?" Luo Sheng changed his name from Shanruliu, and then asked with a smile.

"Originally, I just came over to see your options. If you choose to marry the royal family, then I will teach you a lesson, and then go and comfort Alyssa so that she does not feel too sad. But since you've rejected Susan, I won't say anything more. Alyssa is a good girl, and you have to treat her well in the future. Marcia said earnestly, but there was a hint of tiredness in her tone that was hard to hide.

"With Aunt Marcia here, I don't dare treat Alyssa badly. Otherwise, maybe you will teach me a lesson that day, and I won't be able to bear it. Luo Sheng said in a joking tone.

"In this situation, I'm afraid there are not many opportunities for me to take care of Alyssa in the future!" said Marcia shook her head and said with a slight gloom.

In fact, during this time, because of the wrestling between the nobles and the king, Marcia was not in a very good mood.

From the bottom of his heart, Marcia didn't quite agree with Raymond's approach, after all, Raymond wanted the royal family to be the only one and take over the power himself, which was not a good thing for the Rex family. But because of the blood contract, as the head of the Rex family, Marcia must stand on the side of the royal family and become a supporter of the royal family.

And political struggle is not a game, and every game is accompanied by blood and interests. As this political struggle continues, subtle changes begin to take place in the relations of the parties that have taken sides. Even if Marcia and Cook have a good personal relationship, in this atmosphere, they can only gradually drift apart. If this situation does not change now, it is no longer realistic for Marcia to want to be intimate with Alyssa as before.

"Actually, Aunt Marcia, I also know a thing or two about your situation. I just don't know if Aunt Marcia, do you want to get out of this dilemma?" asked Luo Sheng with a smile.

Luo Sheng also knew something about Marcia's dilemma, so he was well aware of Marcia's worries.

"How can it be so easy to get out of a dilemma like the situation in the country?" said Marcia, shaking her head.

"It's not easy to be in Elson's country, but what about leaving Elson temporarily?"
