The Bloody Duke's Sister Chapter XXIV
Even though the duke promised Vivien the right to marry independently, the royal family was above the duke. If the queen gives marriage without her consent, it will really be over at that time.
Vivien shared her concerns with the Duke, who thought that the matter would be easy to deal with, as long as she had a marriage contract. No matter how domineering the royal family is, it is impossible for people to get out of marriage and remarry.
Going to the Marquis of White Court that day, Vivien talked to Carol for a long time, and finally the two signed an engagement agreement.
Carol doesn't have a woman she wants, she just wants to spend her time training with the Order. He has a little love for Vivien, but these likes are all out of love for his sister.
Vivian also admitted frankly that she didn't want to step into the marriage hall so early, and she was more of a brother and sister for Carol.
After the two talked, they agreed on two years. If anyone refuses to marry within two years, the marriage is annulled.
When the news of the engagement of the two spread, the queen was so angry that she scolded. The King, on the other hand, thought it would be wise for the Kleins not to get involved in the struggle for imperial power.
The day before Duke Klein returned to the north, the king sent a reward, and the queen took the opportunity to announce that Vivien would be allowed to accompany Elena in the palace until the end of the wedding ceremony!
Even if the marriage fails, the queen will create the illusion of a close relationship between the Duke of Klein Mansion and the second prince, and many nobles who don't know what is going on still think that the Duke of Klein Mansion is on the side of the second prince.
Vivien enters the palace every few days, either to accompany Elena for tea and snacks, or to go to the library to read books, or to pick out dresses and look at jewelry, and life is very boring.
"Vivien, are you mad at me?" Elena found that Vivien treated her politely and detached, unlike she used to joke.
"The princess misunderstood, it's a great honor to be your playmate." Vivien smiled softly.
The two deliberately avoided previous topics, and Yelena knew that her choice had disappointed Vivien, but the fight for power was far less important than her mother's admission.
Vivien also knows that everyone has their own life, and there is no need to force others to follow their own plans. After all, if she fails, she can't take responsibility, so it's good.
Coming out of the palace, Vivien meets Andrea. Both of them are pawns in the hands of the king and queen, and they are reluctant to hurt their own children, so they will hurt other people's children.
"Vivien, let me tell you, the crown prince is so hateful, I really want to go back to the west, woo woo." When Andrea saw Vivien, she pounced on her like a swallow had returned home.
"You're being bullied again?" Vivien tapped her on the shoulder.
"Obviously, the king asked me to enter the palace, but the crown prince asked me not to pester him, there is no distinction between right and wrong, he is a blind man!" Andrea muttered in a low voice, if these words were heard by outsiders, I am afraid that she would be sent to prison for insulting the royal family.
"Don't worry, you'll be able to get out of the marriage soon."
"Really? I only now feel how beautiful the west is, as long as I can get out of the marriage, I will never come to the royal capital again! ”
Vivien smiled, then helped Andrea sort out. Eunice is now pregnant, but no one knows about it, and it wasn't until March when Elena got married that she fainted and was checked out by the doctor.
"Victor is waiting for me outside, be careful on your way back."
"I really envy you for having a younger brother, and I only have an older brother."
"I still envy you for having a caring brother, go quickly!"
After Andrea got into the carriage, Vivien gave Victor a hard look. Don't think she doesn't know, what Victor has in mind!
Duke Klein displeased that he had given Vivien full responsibility for Victor's education. Two days ago, she secretly ran out to kill people, and as soon as she found her target, Vivien showed up with Karna and Evans.
She neither stopped nor made a noise, just watching Victor bleed a drunk woman. When he was done venting, he asked Evans to knock people unconscious and tie them back.
Victor wakes up to find himself tied to his room, Vivien with a syringe in her hand and a grim smile.
"I'll give you as much blood as you put into someone else in the future, Evans, bring me the mirror and let him appreciate his desperate look."
"Yes, princess."
Vivien did not hesitate and decisively drew blood from Victor.
Victor looked at himself in the mirror and struggled with fright, but the more he struggled, the faster the blood flowed. Drawing blood was a long process, and Victor closed his eyes and didn't dare to look at himself, but Evans broke his eyes and forced him to see the whole process.
Vivien took half a basin of blood before she stopped, after all, she didn't want to kill people. However, after the blood was drawn, Victor was dizzy and visibly unwell.
Evans, fearing his revenge, arranged for four knights to take turns guarding Vivien's room, and even sent someone to repair the windowsill, never allowing anyone to approach.
In fact, after seeing that Gongzi had such a habit last night, he hoped from the bottom of his heart that it would be the princess who would inherit the title in the future, otherwise he didn't know how many people would be hurt in the future.
At the end of February, Vivien went to the Autumn Palace to meet Andrea, and the two had tea and gossip. Halfway through, Talon returned, and Vivien motioned for him to break his sister away, as she had something to say.
On the second day of the first month of March, the newspaper suddenly reported that Eunice was pregnant before marriage, and the father of the child was undoubtedly someone. It is said that one day in January, someone broke into the boudoir at night......
The newspapers did not dare to say the words "crown prince", but every word said about the crown prince. In the Empire, illegitimate children had no right to inherit.
Everyone is waiting to see if the crown prince chooses a lover or the Hoffman family?
Duke Hoffmann gave the crown prince two options, one was to break the children's marriage contract and continue, and the other was to withdraw from the marriage. Before the crown prince could make a choice, Eunice escaped with the help of Remino.
The crown prince was furious, turned around and put Remino in prison, and the engagement with Andrea was also withdrawn. In the original plot, Andrea was blackened after being divorced, and now she happily packs her bags and goes back to the west.
The king was so angry that he vomited blood, and the queen took advantage of the king's coma to put all the blame on the crown prince. Seeing this, the nobles who originally supported the crown prince withdrew more than half of them.
The crown prince has no time to appease the nobles and is searching the world for Eunice. In the midst of the chaos, the Va'aron Empire suddenly sent troops to attack Baria.
The second prince voluntarily applied to go to the battlefield, and all the nobles sighed at his noble character. The crown prince had to stop looking for someone and settle the war in front of him first.
While the king was unconscious, the queen sent all the opposing forces to the battlefield. The sword has no eyes, who can say for sure whether it will be life or death?
On March 15, Elena married Levine Royston. The Royston family was a two-hundred-year-old aristocracy, with connections throughout the empire and close ties to the church.
Quietly, the saint of this session is Livin's sister, which is why the queen actively wooed them.
As the heir, Levine has an indulgent private life, but his methods are as cruel as his ancestors. Their family has many underground industries, including human trafficking, pornography business, underground casinos, drug circulation, and so on.
Jay can become the owner of the casino, or the Royston family dedicates the underground casino to the queen, who then leaves it to Jay to take care of.
After the wedding, the political position of the Royston family became clear. The crown prince had a falling out with the Hoffman family, and the nobles chose to watch the tiger fight from the other side of the mountain and resolutely refused to enter.
If the crown prince wants to gain support, he must win this war. Once he leaves the royal capital, the queen will definitely send a large number of killers, and there are risks and opportunities at the same time, how should he choose?
Vivien prepares to go back to the north, and before leaving, Karina comes in a carriage and says that she wants to go to the north to play. Vivien looked at the familiar figure beside her and smiled yes.
The Marquis de Granston also decided to stay away from the struggle for imperial power, and heard that the White family and the Hoffman family were cooperating with the north, so they took the opportunity to visit it for themselves.
When Vivien left the royal capital, there was no discussion, as everyone was focused on the impending war.
Because Vaaron invaded the south, which was the territory of Duke Aden Stein. In addition to the local troops, they also hired a lot of mercenaries to fight, plus the royal knights and the church knights, the combat power is not much different.
Vivien looked through the plot behind and found that the war had been fought for a year, the crown prince won a great victory and sent the queen to the guillotine, and the power of the second prince quickly collapsed.
Eunice heard that the crown prince had been poisoned and unconscious, so she pretended to be a maid and returned to the palace. The two of you chased me for three months, and then held a grand wedding.
Soon the king died of illness, the crown prince ascended the throne, and Eunice became queen. Ideally, only children born out of wedlock could have the right to inherit, and the king decided to change the law so that illegitimate children would have the same rights as legitimate children......
No matter how many times I watch it, I feel that the dog is bloody, in order to prove that you two are true love, even the law has been changed, which is really amazing!
However, before the plot has developed to the end, Vivian closes her eyes and sleeps. By the time she returned to Sémir, it was the end of March.
Vivien took Catherine to play for a few days and began to be educated as an heir. There are many people in the family who oppose it, after all, Victor has been cultivated as an heir for more than ten years.
Duke Klein deliberately brought his two children with him to raise them, and then assessed them regularly. Vivien's ideas were wild, but the harvest was real, and she improved the way she cultivated food, and at the same time refined the refining of sugar and salt, making the lives of the people of the north richer and richer.
Victor also made a lot of suggestions, but none of them were as effective as Vivian. A year later, most of the Klein family supported Vivien, on the condition that Carol White be her son-in-law.
Taking advantage of the wartime to develop its economy, the North overtook the South and the East, becoming the second richest territory after the West.
The north has a natural disadvantage, Vivian pushes greenhouse planting, and also develops fertilizers, the output of grain crops, fruits and vegetables is getting higher and higher, and taxes are also trying to keep down, which leads to more and more people defecting to the north.
