"You're the one who seduces me. ”

Sylvia sat on Victor's lap, her white hands around his neck, smiling sly and her eyes like silk.

If Victor's marriage to Sister Alina is passively accepted, then his shelter for Anna can be seen as an active integration. From then on, the economic, military, and political ties between the Randall and the House of York will become even closer and rightfully so. Most importantly, Victor's eyes are not limited to his own territory, and he will devote more energy to the transformation of the Centaur Hills and advise the York family.

Love me, help me, is my man!

Victor's change of stance made Sylvia's heart flutter, and her smile bloomed with heartstring charm.

People who are in love are always paying attention to the changes in their lovers. Victor was in a happy mood by Sylvia's coquettish appearance, and he grabbed the Rose Queen's slender waist with one hand, kneaded and massaged the queen's smooth calves with the other, and laughed: "Is this how you seduc?"

"Hmm......" Sylvia snorted softly, smiling lightly, resting her head on Victor's shoulder. The fresh scent blends with each other, and gradually has a soft sweetness.

The two hugged each other intimately, quietly enjoying the warmth and sweetness of the moment.

"Is there anything you'd like to ask?" Sylvia looked up, her eyes gentle but wise.

She is the noble daughter of Seuss, proficient in charm, knows how to please men, and is also the queen of roses, decisive in killing, determined, and strong-willed, and a top powerhouse, with a complete heart and pride. She never wants her partner to be a weak person who is addicted to gentleness and can't extricate herself.

No matter how whitewashed the vigorous love is, it is difficult to hide the boiling desire, which is close to the instinct of a beast, and there is no beauty at all. Indulging in burning will only bring fatigue and boredom to both parties, and the gentle taste of stopping and the emotional attachment can make each other's love profound and timeless, and will not fade with the passage of time.

After all, there aren't many partners for the extraordinarily strong.

Victor had many women, but none of them attracted him as deeply as Sylvia. In the process of chasing each other's conquests, Sylvia's just the right amount of gentle encouragement and affectionate and ruthless hints are subtly influencing Victor, making him understand the difference between the weak and the strong, the boundary between reason and emotion, knowing how to play different roles, and becoming more comfortable and attractive in the face of anyone.

Sylvia's blue eyes were as pure and distant as the sky, and Victor's charming heart quickly calmed down, and he sighed, "Anna was arranged for me by you?"

"It's your own choice, I just respect your choice. ”

Sylvia smiled and said, "I'm also curious, why are you sheltering Anna?"

"I want to actually participate in the affairs of the Centaur Hills, as the lover of the Queen of Roses, there will always be criticism......," Victor generously admitted, shook his head and said: "Moreover, a great beauty like Audair softly begged, I can't bear to watch their mother and daughter separate." Unexpectedly, the youngest son of the Counts of Terrandon took on Anna's fate. ”

"What about me? what about Audre and Ulena? and yourself?"

Sylvia smiled faintly: "As a nobleman, how can there be no price to enjoy the power and glory brought by the family? If the family cannot maintain intermarriage with those of high blood, it will only face the dilemma of decline and extinction, just like the Solim family." The only thing we can do is to apply pity and sympathy to our adopted sons and daughters, so that they can feel the warmth of the family. Do you now understand why your father ignored you? he can't protect the good offspring, he just wants you to easily integrate into the new family. ”

Victor nodded and muttered, "He should have sold me a little higher...... What do you think of 500,000 gold soles?"

Sylvia was stunned for a moment and giggled, "I won't come out of a single Jinsol, I'll snatch you over." ”

Victor was convinced by Silvia's words, and Caterina was snatched by her, and she gave it away for nothing. If you think about it, Sophia and Catherine are the ones who are the ones who are wronged.

Sylvia's eyes twitched, and she said, "If you don't want to go...... Then give Ulena a child. ”

Victor snorted and diverted the subject: "Why do I think you deliberately suppressed Count Trandaun?"

"There is a sense of this. Sylvia nodded and said lazily, "Tellandon and Ulena are conformist and unwilling to actively participate in the joint-stock chamber of commerce. And the joint-stock chamber of commerce will evolve into the logistics system of the Grand Army. If I don't knock them out, sooner or later Terlandon will become an obstacle to the strategy of the Grand Army. Since they represent the traditional power of the family, they must contribute an excellent heir to the family according to the tradition. ”

"Of course, apart from Anna and Elne, we don't have the heir of the York family who is worthy of the Farul family. Not only does this family have Golden Knights, they also have the blood of the Neville royal family in their veins. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about that. Sylvia kissed Victor on the lips and returned to her seat, "My dear, you must understand that the instability of the family inheritance will inevitably lead to infighting, and we need to be united. Anna must not challenge Embitha's position, and you and Sophia's heirs must marry Caterina's children, whose descendants will be the heirs of the House of York. ”

Victor said distressedly: "I don't have a child until now, and I don't know if something is wrong?"

"Clement has observed your state with Truesight. He said that you are very healthy, there is only one possibility without children, and your elven blood is still being purified. Silvia glanced at him, the corners of her mouth turned up, and said, "You're not a minor." ”

"It's embarrassing......" Victor touched his nose and smiled wryly.

Sylvia reached out and rubbed Victor's face, and said happily, "It's also worth looking forward to." After a pause, she continued: "Caterina used to live in the Kite Castle for a while, and she had a good personal relationship with Roland. Roland was fond of the military and the Knights, and Caterina studied with her in the Praetorian Guard and the Knights of the Dragon, mastering a lot of practical military knowledge and having quite excellent command skills. I hope that you can cooperate to improve the Fangs and Mercenaries, and establish a system of coordinated operations. ”

"I'll do my best to assist her. Victor bowed slightly, he knew very well that his military knowledge was actually very shallow. After a change of voice, he said, "I hope she and Embiter don't have a grudge against me because of Anna's affairs." ”

"If Katerina doesn't even have this bit of energy, it only means that her pattern is not enough to lead the family to strength. Sylvia looked Victor up and down again, and said, "I'm sure Caterina will try to maintain a good relationship with you." ”

Sylvia doesn't mention Embitser, only Katerina, which shows that Embiter has no place in her heart at all. The contemporary Duke of York is only the face of the family, and Victor, although he does not sympathize with Embiter, also feels sad for the ordinary aristocracy.

Extraordinary knights live on in their youth, and the marriage of ordinary nobles and them is destined to be a tragedy. Caterina's entry into the realm of the transcendent, and the ability to bear an offspring for Embiter, has proven her belief in the protection of the House of York, and no one can force her to continue serving an ordinary nobleman. Now, Caterina has no right to intervene with anyone, Embitsah.

Jealousy only invites the death of ordinary nobles, and the church often chooses to turn a blind eye to this.

This is the privilege of the Transcendent Knight, and it is the reason why Victor wanted to stay away from Sophia in the first place.

He was silent for a moment, then asked, "By the way, would you like to meet Clement?" ”

"Of course. Sylvia nodded and smiled confidently, "But that's just a courtesy audience." There is no need for dialogue, no words, only the tacit understanding and actual actions of the two sides. I settle the homeless, the Pope sends probationary priests to set up schools to pacify the population, I recruit mercenaries and the Pope sends combat priests to help us train our soldiers and boost their morale. ”

Victor couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you worried about the combat priest interfering with the command of the mercenary legions? ”

Sylvia shook her head with a smile: "If Clement hadn't had this awareness, he wouldn't have supported the mercenary legion. Our ultimate goal is to keep the weak and strong, and to transform the elite mercenaries into loyal vassal soldiers. Combat chaplains are well aware of this, they are more pragmatic and understand the meaning of sacrifice than missionary pastors. In order to save more soldiers, and to bring the infamy of the lord, they would stand by and remain silent or praise the bravery of the victims. ”

Victor sighed and said, "I hope so." ”

Sylvia shook her head and smiled, "Believe me, my dear, what the Battle Priest is best at is inciting mercenary groups to die. Otherwise, how could the clergy army survive thousands of years of orc wars? The church could not call on mortal armies. ”

Victor was dumbfounded and said, "The mercenary group turned out to be made by the church?"

"It's all about survival. Sylvia replied flatly.

During the Silver Age, the relationship between the knight lords and the church was extremely poor, and the outcasts fled in all directions, making life difficult, but the penetration ability of goblins and gnolls was particularly strong. The main army of the Church had to fight against the orc tribes, and it simply did not care about the small monster colonies in the rear. It was inevitable that the church would train combat priests and call on the homeless to protect themselves, and mercenary groups large and small came from this.

Victor originally thought that the low-ranking priest was the Virgin, but it turns out that even the air in this world is poisonous to the Virgin.

In any case, this is a good thing, at least for the time being, without worrying about the church's constraints on mercenaries. The biggest stone in Victor's heart fell, and he half-jokingly said, "My dear, I would love to be your Rose Knight." ”

Victor joined the Knights of the Rose in order to gain command of the Fangs Legion, instead of being able to take on the logistical support of the Grand Legion as it is now, which indirectly affected the movement of the York family's army.

However, the independent lord's allegiance is to the king, and Victor and Sofia are special, and if he joins the Knights of the Rose, he will upset the political balance that Gambis has so hard to establish.

This is a change that Sylvia could not accept, and she said tenderly: "My dear, when we met for the second time, you were already my 'knight', and you will still be my only 'knight' from now on. ”

The second time they met was at Rose Manor, and the two spent a fragrant evening together.

Victor looked at the brilliant and incomparable Sylvia, and a fire rose in his heart.
