Duke Klein was already ambitious, and after hearing Vivien's analysis, he felt that she agreed with him.

"Vivien, you've grown up." The Duke lovingly touched his daughter's hair, and a sincere smile appeared on his face.

"Of course, I'm my father's daughter!" Vivien laughed mischievously.

Victor clenched his fists when he saw the affectionate appearance of the father and daughter, and really wanted to get rid of her, otherwise his position would become more and more precarious.

"Sister is really amazing, where do you find out from so much inside information, why don't you teach me?"

"When you meet with Levine Royston on the night of the palace banquet, ordinary people may be surprised that you have a private relationship, and smart people may think of the second prince, guess what I think?"

"What?"

"You don't care about the crown prince and the second prince, and you don't care about the future of the Klein family, so what else can you quietly meet with the heir of the Royston family, who is good at making drugs?" Vivian pressed forward step by step, and Victor's eyes were red with grievance.

If it were someone else, they might believe his innocence, but unfortunately Duke Klein was the same as him, and Vivien knew him well, so the truth was nowhere to hide.

Duke Klein frowned, he didn't care about his son killing people and setting fires, the only requirement was that the interests of the family could not be harmed. He's not so much an incompetent father as a cold-blooded animal.

Vincent Klein has two older brothers, an older sister and a younger sister. His mother was the second Duchess and the sister of the previous deceased Duchess.

After the death of the elder sister, the family sent the younger sister to be the successor duchess for the sake of profit. At first, she wanted to take good care of her nephews and nieces, but her husband always said good things about her sister and belittled her as worthless.

As time goes by, my sister's psychology becomes more and more distorted, and she always wants to compete with her sister in everything. But how can the living be better than the dead? didn't dare to deal with her husband, so she vented her anger on her son.

Vincent grew up in such a twisted family, and in order to inherit the Duke's Palace, he designed the second brother to kill the eldest brother, and then released the evidence of the second brother's crime, and then he became the only heir.

Vivien was immersed in her thoughts, and suddenly heard Victor's apologetic voice: "I'm sorry father, I will work harder in the future." ”

"Well, learn more from your sister and take a long-term view."

"Yes, father."

Duke Klein looked Vivien up and down, and before he knew it, his eyes changed. It used to be clear and bright, but now it is tenacious and unyielding, and perhaps it has changed the moment Victor makes his move.

He firmly believes that the fact that Victor killed the killer is enough to make Vivien change dramatically. When faced with harm, people either cowardly flee or rise to the occasion.

Vivien is his daughter, so she's not afraid of a challenge.

In the evening, when the sky was snowing, Vivien sat by the fire and read. The literature of this period consisted mainly of religious beliefs, chivalry, and mysticism.

Time passed slowly, and the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier.

Vivien was half asleep when she heard the sound of the window opening. A moment later, someone approached her with a chill.

When she opened her eyes, she found that it was Jay Mervis who had broken through the window. It is said that she has been in the royal capital for almost a month, and she hasn't seen Jay once, thinking that he has been very busy recently.

"You're not surprised at all?" Jay shook the snowflakes off his body, then sat down by the fire to keep warm.

"What do you need to do in person?" Vivien spoke lightly, perhaps because the soft chair was too comfortable, and she didn't even get up to greet the guests.

"I received a message that someone wanted to kill you." Jay is worried when he hears that someone has bought poison to murder Vivien.

"Don't worry, he can't kill me." Vivien smiled indifferently, no one wanted to kill her except Victor anyway.

"Sometimes I don't think a princess is a nobleman."

"Before I became a nobleman, I was first and foremost a human being."

The two fell silent, Jay is the villain, and he wants him to change his ways unless the queen gives up the struggle for power, but unfortunately this is unrealistic. Now that the queen killed the first queen, the crown prince has to avenge his mother no matter what.

Vivien sighed, it was completely dark outside the window, but Jay had no intention of leaving. The room was large, and it was easy to hide a man, but that would ruin her reputation.

Just as she turned her head to remind Jay to leave, she didn't expect him to fall asleep on the seat. Seeing that his face was very tired, he didn't have a good rest during this time.

Vivien puts the blanket over Jay, and Lola suddenly comes in, shocked to see a strange man in the room.

"Uninvited guest, leave him alone."

"Yes, miss."

After a brief freshening up, Vivien changed into her pajamas and sat on the bench reading a book. About two hours later, Jay woke up violently.

The moment the four eyes met, one looked guarded, the other careless. Vivien asked him if he was hungry? He nodded.

When Laura came in with a late night snack, Jay was a little surprised, but sat down at the table and ate it. It stands to reason that if a strange man appears in the noble princess's room, shouldn't he be blasted out immediately?

Jay finishes eating and is about to leave through the window, but Vivien asks Lola to lead him through the back door to save him from falling and hurting himself.

As soon as the two went out, Victor, who had been staring at Vivian, saw Jay's figure and couldn't help but slightly hook the corners of his mouth. It seems that she knows everything about the royal family because of her dealings with the queen's nephew.

Victor tries to woo Jay, who is keenly aware of his ill will towards Vivien, so he pretends to cooperate.

Two days later, Andrea ran to the Winter Palace to play, cursing the crown prince in her mouth, saying that he was a fool all his life!

It turned out that she entered the palace yesterday and accidentally broke the cup while drinking tea. Eunice was cut when she reached out to pick up the pieces, and the crown prince angrily accused her of bullying in front of everyone.

Obviously, she said that she would let the maid deal with it, but Eunice had to pick it up herself. In the end, the crown prince took her to the doctor, but he didn't know that he thought her leg was broken.

Vivian sighed deeply, such an emotional crown prince, I don't know how far I want to listen and believe in the future?

The royal succession is the eldest son and eldest grandson, followed by the second son and second grandson, and finally the daughter. If there are no children, it will fall into the hands of immediate family members such as uncles and nephews.

Vivien quickly stopped her divergent thinking, it was useless to think more, anyway, she didn't plan to get involved in the royal struggle anymore, and when the meeting was over, she would go back to the north to develop the economy!

Duke Klein thought the same thing, and he was ready to go to the White family to talk about business, because their merchant group was the first in the entire empire.

"Father, I have something to say about the White family." Before getting into the car, Vivien told her about Remino's defection to the crown prince.

Duke Klein smiled coldly, Remino was cultivated as the heir of the merchant group since he was a child, and now he has lost his mind for the sake of women, which is really unfortunate for the family.

"Come with me."

"Yes, father."

Vivien accompanied Duke Klein to White House, primarily to confirm the White family's attitude. If they are biased towards the royal family, then the North will not hesitate to choose the Hoffmanns.

The Hoffmans were the most powerful and wealthy of the four dukes, as the west had the largest trading port in the empire.

While the adults were talking about things in the study, the original Vivien appeared. I haven't seen my grandmother for a long time, and she has a lot of gossip to talk about, but unfortunately my grandmother is not energetic, and she will be tired after a while.

Vivien helped her to her room to rest, and when she descended the stairs, she saw a scar on Reminor's face. If nothing else, it should be that he was found by the crown prince hugging Eunice, and then he was beaten.

"I've seen Lady Vivien."

"Brother Reminor, good afternoon."

The two were already unfamiliar, one didn't want to bother finding a topic, and the other was not in the mood. Carol stood outside the door, saw their embarrassed looks, and hurried in to explain.

"Vivien, I'm sorry, Remino is in a bad mood today."

"It's okay, everyone has bad times."

"Why don't I accompany you around the garden?"

"Okay."

The sun was warm today and the garden was full of red tulips. The breeze blew and the scent of flowers came.

When she returned in the evening, Vivien was lying in bed chatting with the gods, and the two talked the most about Carol and Jay.

At the end of the third day of February, Duke Klein took the Lady back to the North, and Vivien stayed behind to attend the wedding of Princess Elena.

Because the crown prince married Andrea, the queen wanted to match Vivien with the second prince. Although she was tempted to return to the north, the empress's orders had to be obeyed.
