Chapter 33: Unintentional Moves in the World (Asking for Votes)
As she spoke, Li Aili broke a branch from the side and scratched it on the ground.
"First of all, if you want to be a princess in the right sense, your mother must be a queen."
"However, now the official faith of the kingdom is the Holy Court of Light."
"Even the king can't divorce and change his daughter-in-law."
"So, if you want your mother to take the throne, the best thing is to change the faith of the kingdom, if you can get a divorce, you must be able to withstand the retaliation of the Holy Court of Light."
"Think about it, eh~ The Dark Church is good! Free marriage, whether you are polygamous or polyandry, whether you are married to a person or not, as long as you believe in the dark God, He is very talkative. ”
Marina: "......"
The Marquis was already stunned.
She was still being hit by the mudslide of life and wanted to die.
But in the blink of an eye, her mother is about to become a queen, she is the first princess of the kingdom, and when the king can't give birth to a son.
She is the only legal heir.
W-......?!
What kind of man do you need for this???
Li Aili obviously thought of her too, and continued to imagine:
"Hey, you're a reserve of the Holy Maiden of Light, don't care if you can become a saint in the future, if you change to the dark god as an identity, the dark church will be warmly welcomed every minute."
"Think about it, what a gimmick this is?"
"You are a reservist, but in the Church of Darkness, you are rounded up to be the Holy Maiden of Light.
That's the rebellion of the Holy Maiden of Light, no, it's the Holy Maiden of Light 'abandoning the darkness and turning to the light', uh, 'abandoning the light and turning to the dark'.
In short, the face of the Bright Sect was swollen. ”
"You see, people are all interested in advantages and avoid disadvantages, and you are a poor little bastard who no one cares about in the Holy Court of Light."
"But if you are to be transformed, you must not be praised as the High Priest of Darkness every minute?
The Church of Darkness can't wait to parade the streets 24 hours a day with your sign. ”
"But don't worry, there is no need to be afraid of retaliation, the dark god is risking his own life, and he has to bless you to live a long time, otherwise who will dare to take refuge in him in the future?"
Marina hiccuped slightly, looking a little sluggish, "Hiccup~"
"Don't believe it, instead of taking revenge on you, the Holy Court of Light should go and 'hook up' with the two high priests of the Dark Church, and then make them the next 'Holy Maidens of Light'."
Li Aili imagined the picture for a moment, "Tsk, double the slap in the face, double the happiness." ”
The Marina people are already numb.
Li Aili concluded: "So you see, in this way, your life can be more exciting, why do you want to live and die to entangle whether a man loves you or not?" ”
Marina: "......"
Marina: "!! ”
Seeing the 'awakened' light in a woman's eyes.
Li Ellie's little guilt finally dissipated.
Well, now it's not her responsibility.
It was definitely not the side effects of her alchemy potions that made the little girl commit suicide at a young age.
Li Ellie thought that after the Marquis of Marquis Marlin cheered up, she would continue to spend time in Constantinople, and then start a bloody plot of 'you chase me and escape' with the duke.
Behold.
The Marquis of Marina hastily packed her luggage that day and set off to return to the royal capital.
Of course, she left a note for the Duchess before leaving.
Joanna handed the note to Ellie Lee.
Li Aili fell silent for a long time after reading it, and then she asked uncertainly, "Does the Marquis of Marquis Malina not know me?" ”
Joanna said uncertainly: "I don't know much about the royal capital, but when you married the duke, she had just entered the social arena not long ago. ”
"Maybe, probably, I don't know. What's the matter, ma'am? Joanna asked.
Li Aili wordlessly forwarded Marina's message to Joanna.
I saw a line of words flying on it, like the mood of the writer, and it had 'broken out of the cage'.
[Give me my unmasked rival:]
I have forgiven your machinations. Because I see that you are a frog at the bottom of a well trapped in a back house, and there is only one man in heaven and earth, how pitiful and pathetic it is. 】
[I am a divine bird that is about to take off, and you can only spend your life trying to please a man, cry for him, and laugh for him. 】
[Goodbye, sad woman, farewell, frogs at the bottom of the well in Constantinople.] 】
[I can't believe how such a narrow place of yours can have such a beautiful and kind-hearted, generous and wise, gentle and lovely, and sunny young lady. 】
[Oh, my mentor in life, when I reach the peak of my life, I will come back to pick her up!] 】
Ellie Lee: "......" She wished that the last lady she was talking about was not herself.
She had a gut feeling that she felt like she was poking a big basket.
……
The duke and his party returned in the evening.
Twelve warriors who had the honor of taking the giant potion and fought the cyclops bare-footed also returned to Constantinople.
And the twelve men refused to see anyone.
When they returned, they locked themselves in the rooms of the castle one by one.
Meals are eaten by servants who leave their meals at the door.
When the servant left, a hand reached out in the room and quickly dragged the food into the room.
The Duke waved his hand with a headache after hearing the report.
Li Aili, who has made a sin, should not be well-behaved, squatting next to her and waiting for the duke to deal with a bunch of follow-ups, before she asked slowly:
"Well, what if, I said if I got into trouble."
"What will happen to you?"
The duke was holding a quill and writing a document with a 'swish' note, and the tip of the pen was sudden.
He put down his pen.
I thought about the subordinates who were now locked in the castle guest room and had a certain trauma in their hearts...... Speaking cautiously:
"It depends, how much trouble you've got."
Li Aili stretched out her hand and gestured to the loss, "That's probably it." ”
The Duke breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back lazily in the soft chair, "Oh, what, let's hear it." ”
Li Aili took out the princess's 'letter' and handed it to the duke.
The duke looked a little puzzled, "That's it?" ”
Li Aili thought about it, but decided to confess early and finish the matter early.
So he pointed to the 'Divine Bird about to take off' on the letterhead, and then said to the Duke solemnly: "You taste it carefully." ”
Duke: "......"
He said uncertainly, "She drank that flying charm potion again?" ”
Ellie Lee: "......"
"No, I guess she wants to switch to the Dark Church, use the Dark Church to bring down the Holy See of Light, and then change his father's daughter-in-law, bring the kingdom a change of faith, and make herself the heir of the kingdom by the way. Of course, if she does become the High Priestess of the Dark Temple, I guess she won't be able to look down on Clarke's one-third of an acre. ”
Duke: "......"
Duke: "............"
Ten minutes later, the twelve Grand Knights who had been 'retreating' in the castle were all 'dragged' out.
The Duke asked Li Aili to retell the matter word for word, from beginning to end.
There was deathly silence in the study.
The knights were so shocked that they forgot about their psychological trauma.
The duke rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "How likely is it that she said it?" ”
There was still a dead silence.
After all, nothing like this has ever happened in the history of mankind. As someone who has experienced history firsthand, we all need time to digest it.
Then, in a particularly slow voice, Balk said, "Mainly...... No one had ever done that before. I'm referring to the kind of thing where the Holy Maiden of Light is a candidate for 'surrender to the enemy'.
So we're not very experienced. ”
No one has done such a thing to die, and persuaded a Holy Maiden of Light to join the Dark Temple instead.
The most fucking outrageous thing is that the candidate for the Holy Maiden of Light has returned his mother's heart and has already begun to take action.
The Duke closed his eyes, "What will happen to the Dark Temple's side, if this really happens." ”
The knights looked at each other, and then said in unison, "That must be fucking crazy." ”
Duke: "........."
"Tell the rest of the great knights to come over."
"We need to reformulate our plans for future wars."
