After accepting His Majesty's magic wand, Qin Shouzhuo left the celebration site and continued to wait outside the palace gate, but this time he could stay in the ear room where the Praetorian Guards were on duty, roasting the fire and drinking tea, and waited until Sophia left the palace.

The biggest gain of this gift is this magic wand that is not very strong, "This wand is in hand, if I come in person, take it and do what you think you should do!" When His Majesty the Emperor gave this wand with a strange shape, his eyes flashed with wisdom, Qin Shouzhuo knew what His Majesty the Emperor meant, which was tantamount to giving himself the title of openly confronting the Empress by force.

As the emperor said, it is indeed not a good wand, but the political significance contained in this wand is not exchanged for equipment several times stronger than it.

His Majesty's birthday celebration was over, and the Empress, as the daughter-in-law, was not even allowed to attend until the end, and the royal dignity was swept away. Judging from the results, Qin Shouzhuo became the biggest beneficiary, and obtained a magic wand that was not powerful but represented extraordinary significance.

The second most profitable person should be Princess Sophia herself. Although on the surface it only received a few words of praise without pain, His Majesty's attitude towards the Empress showed that His Majesty, as the patriarch of the imperial family, had absolute control over the clan. The queen completely lost control of Princess Sophia's marriage.

The biggest loser on the surface was the queen, as a daughter-in-law, but she was not even allowed to attend her father-in-law's birthday, and the dignity of being a queen was thrown into the trash, but this did no real harm to the queen and her faction except to completely anger her.

Raphael...... His Majesty the Emperor, who has abdicated the throne, has great influence on the marriage of members of the imperial family as the patriarch of the imperial family, but outside the imperial family...... Especially when the other party is right.

The daughter of a duke, not a prince, can marry Victor, the son of a cardinal who controls the huge military power of the south of the Holy See, and the commander of the real legion, which is still the Duke of Jefferson's mansion.

Early in the morning of the 17th, Duke Jefferson, who was in a hurry to get the news, rushed to the imperial capital, and did not even return to the other garden, so he entered the palace to hold talks with the emperor and the imperial officials, and did not come out until it was dark. As soon as he left the palace gate, Duke Jefferson saw that the silver phantom had stopped outside the palace, the car door opened, and Qin Shouzhuo and Rafael walked down.

In the past few days since Victor put down his words to marry Rafael, Raphael has been tossing and turning and unable to sleep. Although there is the firm support of Qin Shouzhuo and Sophia, the pressure in his heart has not been relieved, and the emotions of fear, hesitation, confusion, and remorse are constantly intertwined, and he is extremely desperate and afraid of the life of marrying Victor, and there is no way to rush to the incomparable hesitation in his heart. What Raphael saw in his eyes were the people who cared about him, including Sophia's sister, pretending to comfort himself with smiling faces, the helpless confusion in his eyes, and the regret that he had not practiced seriously in the past.

At least, if he can reach the level of a magician now, relying on the almost infinite characteristics of his magic power, he can barely fight against Victor, and according to the most primitive principle of this continent - the strong make rules to get rid of the threat.

Finally learned that his father had arrived, Rafael couldn't wait to return to the Duke Jefferson's Palace, and waited until noon until the news that his father had entered the palace, so he hurriedly rushed to the palace gate with Qin Shouzhuo and waited, until it was almost dark, only to see the Duke Jefferson with a sad face coming out of the hole in the city gate.

"Daddy~"

As soon as he got out of the car, Rafael disappeared by the car door in an instant, and by the time Qin Shouzhuo reacted, he had already thrown himself into the arms of Duke Edgar Jefferson, burying himself in his father's arms, not moving. Archduke Edgar Jefferson gently stroked Raphael's back, and couldn't help but be moved, and there was a faint glint of water in his eyes, but in the end nothing flowed.

Qin Shouzhuo stood on the other side of the silver phantom and waited, after all, he had been away from home for so long, and there had been too many things that had happened in the recent period, so the father and daughter must have endless words. Seeing what Duke Edgar Jefferson said to Rafael, he touched Rafael's head, Raphael jumped into the carriage, but Duke Edgar Jefferson walked towards Qin Shouzhuo and motioned for Qin Shouzhuo to get into the car.

"Is this the long-rumored Silver Phantom, and I can't wait to give it a try. "The Duke felt the comfort of the ergonomic seat under him, and he was curious about everything like a child. Seeing that Qin Shouzhuo also sat in, he couldn't wait to pull Qin Shouzhuo and ask this and that.

Qin Shouzhuo also has a good impression of this Duke who has no shelf, and he takes the trouble to answer all the other party's questions, even if it is about the engine, he is willing to say it clearly without reservation. However, the Duke knew very well the principle of advancing and retreating, and did not ask much about key things, and even interrupted Qin Shouchou's long explanation.

Qin Shouzhuo got into the car and sat down, and seeing that the Duke had also finished preparations, he started the car without hesitation, and Rafael would take the carriage back to the Duke's Palace, because the Duke's curiosity about the silver phantom could no longer stand.

Qin Shouzhuo believed that this reason was definitely not true, if it was just driven by curiosity, why didn't he go home as soon as he entered the city? After sending Rafael to the Duke's Mansion early this morning, the silver phantom had been parked in the Duke's Palace.

The Duke entered the palace as soon as he entered the city, and he didn't come out until now, so it is certain that the Duke and the officials of the Imperial Sect should have come to some conclusions after talking secretly for so long, perhaps he took this opportunity to give himself an explanation.

In fact, Qin Shouzhuo's speculation was correct, not long after driving, the Duke suddenly brought the topic to politics strongly, and Qin Shouzhuo knew the secret of the struggle and compromise behind Princess Sophia's real danger.

..................

The queen's attempt to forcibly marry Princess Sophia to Victor failed, which does not mean that Sophia has saved the day, after all, Princess Sophia has reached the age of marriage, and Victor is really an excellent young man on the surface, except for the death of two wives before the age of 30.

In order to protect Princess Sophia, it is necessary to find her a fiancé, and this fiancé is not said to be stronger than Victor, and he can't be too far behind, otherwise he won't be able to explain it at all.

In the end, His Majesty the Emperor chose Qin Shouzhuo.

Although it is a bit inconspicuous, in fact, Qin Shouzhuo already has a very high influence. Although his strength is low, and he has not passed the lower mage exam until now, everyone who knows him knows that he definitely has the strength to not lose to ordinary median mages, and the only thing missing is the total amount of magic power.

The secret that Qin Shouzhuo's special physique has a very poor mana capacity is not a secret to these real upper-class characters. However, the scope of this secret is only limited to a small circle of people such as His Majesty the Emperor, the Emperor, the President of the Imperial University, the Dean of Christina, and His Majesty's hardcore comrade-in-arms back then, the chief archmage of the imperial family, Dingle Dion, and others, who only regard him as poor since he was a child, and his cultivation time is too short, so he has less magic power. There are not a few people like him who have little magic power, and this is not an uncommon thing.

The lack of magic power can be made up for through the accumulation of time, and other aspects are where human cultivators open up the gap.

In just half a year after entering the Academy of Magic, Qin Shouzhuo broke into the name of a large mobile library, which shows that his knowledge is broad and profound; under the hostile gaze of the admirers of the vast number of Raphael, he treats it indifferently, which shows that he is determined; in the Great Games, as a freshman of the magic department, he defeated the chief of the third-grade martial arts department in the martial arts competition, and won the gold cup of the chief of the third-year martial arts department, which is amazing; the New Year's Day celebration solved the goal that the scholars of the whole continent of the Holy See have failed to achieve for hundreds of years, and developed a self-propelled magic cannon; and then to the silver phantom that has only recently become known to people, an automatic wheelchair, and a master of the rare skill holder Christina.

The enumeration of these lesser-known achievements is enough to deter most of the human powerhouses of the same age or older, the only problem is that they are potential.

Yes, if Qin Shouzhuo is given a few more years, he will definitely become a new star who will cause wind and rain in all directions of the continent, but now he is just a student who has failed to pass the assessment of the next magician.

The other shortcoming lies in the low status, which is not very troublesome. Yesterday, under the auspices of His Majesty the Emperor, Princess Sophia officially enshrined Qin Shouzhuo as her guardian knight. Although the status is still not high, it has officially become a nobleman, and then through a certain degree of operation, it is very simple to improve the title.

Princess Sophia can afford to wait, His Majesty the Emperor can afford to wait, His Majesty the Emperor can afford to wait, and the officials of the Imperial Empire can afford to wait. After a few years of waiting, Qin Shouzhuo will definitely be superior in strength at that time, and the title will be worthy of the princess, and there will be no problem in getting married at that time. Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor meant that he would get engaged first, and Sophia also agreed with a red face.

As I said before, Qin Shouzhuo is now just an apprentice who has not even passed the assessment of the lower magician, even if for the sake of his long-term development potential, he agrees to marry the princess and him, but it is indeed too much to think about marrying the duchess, unless the current Qin Shouzhuo already has extraordinary strength and influence.

The Duke told Qin Shouzhuo that at the court meeting tomorrow, His Majesty the Emperor will announce the marriage contract between Sophia and Qin Shouzhuo, so that Sophia's trouble will be solved, but the person in trouble will be replaced by Rafeier, how should Qin Shouzhuo save Rafeier?

"And...... "The Duke leaned on the backrest as if he had suddenly aged ten years old, and sighed deeply, "The Holy See has passed down the word that as a dowry for Victor to marry Raphael, the Cardinal Archbishop will grant the Duke of Jefferson a direct domain, that is to say, the Duke of Jefferson and the Jefferson family have changed from nobles to princes. Although he may not be able to retain the title of duke, if he can really become a prince, he will be demoted to an earl, which can be regarded as a big profit. The Jefferson Presbyterians who followed could not refuse this condition, and if I objected, they would not hesitate to initiate impeachment proceedings against the head of the family. Frankly, I can't refuse this condition, and I can't find an excuse to say no. ”

It is rumored that Victor Mu loves SM, and his two wives died because of this, but the rumors cannot be proven, there is no real evidence, and if the rumors are brought to the table, they will only be accused of slandering the senior priest of the Holy See.

Stripped of these stains and the question of political stance, Victor Mu came from a strong family, his father was a cardinal archbishop in charge, and he was already a quasi-martial Templar himself, and he commanded the most powerful force in the South, the Templar Order. Thinking about it this way, Victor is still the fifth diamond king in the entire continent, and if he wants to refuse such a person's courtship, the reason he needs is not generally strong.

Of course, the most important thing is that the opportunity to become a prince is a gift that no family with enough strength can refuse, which means that the development of family power will start again, which means the take-off of family strength, and it also means the transformation of the identity of the monarch and the minister. Just like the Duke said, Archduke Jefferson, who is the patriarch of the top noble family in the Lawrence Empire, cannot refuse an opportunity to become a prince, otherwise the only possibility is to be ousted from the position of the master of the Duke's Palace.

A dowry that can't be refused......
