Chapter 43: The Family History of Theresa's Family

Should we say, the Eugenia of this world really resembles Europe on Earth? Even this kind of embarrassing thing can happen here.

After listening to the complaint of the Lelan envoy, Sinampei could only cover his face helplessly. It is understandable that a big country has such and such internal problems, and you, a small city-state, have not been able to last for several decades on its own? How is this finances running!

Even if the poor are given the right to vote, even if some welfare policies are implemented, this is definitely not a reason for the government to eventually go bankrupt.

Just as Sinampei was about to ask a few words, Theresa grabbed Sinampei: "Si, let's go." ”

"Alas, Your Highness, you ......" Si Nanpei was stunned, everyone came all the way to ask you to go to the receiving city, and you didn't even say a word, turned around and left?

"I haven't seen an envoy from Lelan since I was born. Now that he has a problem, he thinks of finding me, a big donor, to solve the problem, how can there be such a good thing?!On my account book, the taxes they provide him every year are less than the normal income of an ordinary family!" Theresa frowned, "I don't need to talk to such people who only know rights but do not know obligations. ”

The envoys had come here for a clear purpose, to seek Theresa's help, or to put it more bluntly, to get money from her to relieve the city's financial crisis. If they get the money, they can indeed endure the rule of a feudal nobleman - provided that they have money.

It seemed like a good deal for both parties, so no one expected Theresa to become so manic.

All of a sudden, everyone was at a loss.

"But Your Highness, they are all your subjects!" Si Nanpei shook his head, "You can't ignore the old feelings like this, right?"

"Where is the old relationship between me and them? only old grudges. Theresa said angrily, "Why didn't they think this would be the case when they drove my mother out of Leland!"

"...... "Is there a hidden meaning here?" Sinan Pei was dumbfounded.

But. Since Theresa mentioned her mother, she must still care about her, right? Sinampei thought silently, Theresa was far from showing her all in front of the Pope.

She must still be in love with her mother, although she says over and over again that her mother has deceived her.

"Lord Lord......"

"Don't call me that anymore! I'm irritable right now!" Theresa yelled in a gaffe, "Get out of here." Immediately, immediately!"

Two city representatives apparently wanted to stay here. They are not only burdened with their own net worth and life, but also their own class stands behind them, and everyone in the entire city stands. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will not give up.

"Countess, no matter what you say, we won't leave. The unspoken envoy said slowly, but unusually firmly.

"How old are you?" asked Theresa.

"40 years old. The civilian was the first to say.

Varangi visibly hesitated for a moment: "I...... Forty-five years old. ”

"Okay, then I'll ask you. Were you involved in the expulsion of my mother?" Trissa scoffed, "don't say people your age don't know about it. ”

Both men were silent.

"Your Highness, what's going on?" said Sinan Pei in surprise.

Theresa took a deep breath and said, "Our family used to ...... Not a Capetian at all. ”

Sinampei didn't expect Theresa to say such a sentence without a head.

"Our family's territory in Auvergne is only seven hundred years old...... "Theresa's words startled Sinampe again. In China, apart from Qufu of the Confucian family and Longhu Mountain of the Zhang Tianshi family, which family can keep a piece of territory for seven hundred years?

"But the rule of the city of Lelan began in the ancient Roman era. Theresa continued to tell about her family history. This is the first time Sinampei has heard her talk about these things.

"Although our family, after acquiring the territory of Auvergne, changed their surname to such a word with a strong capetic flavor. However, the ancestors of the past generations were based in the city of Leland. It can be said that I have far more blood in Saranyi than in Capet. When Theresa said this, she asked Sinampei, "Do you know what made me identify myself as a Capetian?"

Si Nanpei shook his head, expressing puzzlement.

"It's them. These are the people who came to me today for help. Theresa scoffed, "When I organized a revolt of the citizens and drove my mother away from the city of Leland, it was a big riot, and the surrounding city-states were afraid that it would affect them. It was only with the support of the church that we were able to reconcile the dispute, and by giving us a small annual nominal tax and continued power in commerce, the matter was settled, but only if our family moved to Capet. ”

"......" Sinan Pei didn't know what to say. Generally speaking, as long as Theresa's mother didn't make any angry mistakes, she wouldn't be able to maintain her rule, right?

"Si, do you know why my mother was kicked out of Leland back then?" asked Theresa again.

Sinampei shook his head slightly.

"A bunch of ignorant fools who think my mother sacrificed the living to the devil to practice black magic!" Trissa scoffed, "they don't know what magic is all about!"

The vast majority of people on this continent are afraid of magic, even Kara, who has been with Trisa for many years, and the frightened look of this maid girl when she went to see Master De Les is still fresh in Sinanpei's memory.

It has to be said that this is also related to the fact that the church has been smearing magic for its own benefit, but more importantly, if magic wants to succeed, it must ensure its own mystery as much as possible......

"And the merchants, those who don't know much about magic, are fueling this. Sinampei rarely saw Theresa's resentful expression, but he saw it today.

It makes people's hearts palpitate when a woman initiates a ruthless attack. Even if Theresa was only a barely seventeen-year-old girl, the grim expression on her face startled Theresa.

I haven't seen her hate Lelan's people so much before, is it because she hides it too well? Sinampei was silent.

Searching through the memories in his mind, he found some clues.

Theresa is so dismissive of the so-called tax and commercial interests of Lelan City...... (To be continued......)
