This war was mainly fought between the Southern Duke and the Royal Knights, as well as the Holy Knights of the Church. Vaaron's comprehensive national strength is not as good as that of Baria, and the crown prince is a natural general, so he naturally won a big victory.

"I heard that the crown prince was poisoned on the way back to the city, and now he is unconscious, and I don't know what the future of the empire will become?" When Catherine heard that Vivien had come to the royal capital, she came to visit.

"The crown prince is protected by God, and he will definitely be fine." Vivien knew that this was a ploy by the crown prince to evade the queen's assassination.

"I'm getting married."

"I wonder which son's son is so lucky?"

"Andrea's brother Talon."

"He's a calm man."

"Love is out of reach, as long as I can live a life in peace, I will be satisfied."

The two had been talking for a long time, and Vivien had been away from the royal capital for almost two years. A lot happened during this time, and Catherine spoke dryly.

The next day, she went to White House with gifts, and heard that Carol was injured on the battlefield, and she didn't know if it was serious?

Carol was happy to see Vivien, and confessed that he had been hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and now he is almost fine, and there is no need to worry.

The maid brought tea and snacks, and a girl in pink clothes took care of Carol very carefully, drinking water to feed him, and feeding him snacks.

Vivien was amazed, and said to the maid, "Go down, all of you, for I have something to say to Carol." ”

"No, you can't! I have to stay here to take care of Brother Carol, you are a duke and will not take care of the sick. As soon as Vivien's words fell, the girl retorted.

Carol shook her head at the girl and told him to go out, and the girl pouted and turned around, looking reluctant.

"She's your sweetheart?" Vivien spoke, the maid of the Marquis's Mansion could not be so rude.

"No, she's my friend's sister, and he lost a leg to save me, and I have to take care of his sister." Carroll explained.

"I see, let's break the engagement."

Carol has a strong sense of responsibility, and it is understandable to take care of his sister in order to repay his friend's life-saving grace. The second prince is already engaged, and the queen can't use her marriage as a threat, and Vivien herself doesn't like Carol, so there is no need to continue this marriage.

"Can you let me think about it for a few days?"

"Of course, the engagement was to help me, if you have any requests, please tell me directly, and I will do my best to accommodate them."

When Vivien left the Marquis' Palace, she saw Remino return. He was responsible for the distribution of grain and grass in the rear in this war, and the credit was not small, and the king intended to reward him with a knighthood.

However, the mood seems to be bad, and it should be the news that Eunice has entered the palace. Even if he pours out his heart and lungs for Eunice, the other party will not love him.

Vivien greeted Remino and left, and Remino suddenly felt strange. It seems that from the first meeting, Vivien's eyes on him have always been unwavering.

"Why?"

"Because everything you think in your heart is on your face."

"And what do you think I'm thinking at the moment?"

"Why don't you love me? I can give my life for you. ”

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

"No, there is nothing wrong with love, you should be glad to have such a special person in your life."

"Even if she doesn't love me?"

"Yes, even if she doesn't love you, but you love her deeply, this relationship belongs to you alone, and you can deal with it however you want."

Vivien found that Carol was not far away, she smiled, and then took Victor's hand and left the carriage.

She goes to see Jay in the evening, and the return of the crown prince means that the queen has lost, and his nephew as the queen has no choice but to die.

Vivien wanted to give him a chance, so she proposed to shut down the underground casino and take care of the aftermath. There are poor people out there, and there are hateful people out there, and I hope Jay doesn't let her down.

Jay knew that the crown prince hated the queen to the core, and he couldn't let go of the Earl of Mervis who aided the abuse, let alone let go of himself who was evil!

"I want to save you." Vivien stroked Jay's hair.

Jay jerked his head up, his face changing expressions from shock to suspicion, and then from doubt to astonishment.

Vivien went back to rest for two days before going out, and Victor was now obedient to her. Evans didn't believe he had really changed, but he couldn't find any evidence and had to be careful to put it away.

After a while, Catherine quietly tells Vivien that an underground casino is closed. It is said that in order to celebrate the crown prince's victory, the casino owner not only canceled the huge interest rate, but also freed all the slaves.

Jay's actions made the queen very angry, and she personally called people to the palace to punish him severely, and also ordered her father to take back his surname. Jay's mother was a dancer, and if she didn't have a surname, she would be a pauper.

He didn't dare to go to Vivian, most of his men were the queen's people, and there were a few heartfelt people left. It's a pity that they are loyal to the heir of the Earl's Court, not to the pauper named Jay.

Vivien sent people to follow him, and watched him live in the deplorable slums, running around every day to make a living, and being bullied by the ruffians.

Half a month later, the celebration ceremony was held at the Royal Palace. During this time, the crown prince played the scene of you running away and chasing me several times with Eunice.

The crown prince spoke in front of the people of the royal capital, he looked at the queen on the high seat and smiled coldly, and then told the story of his murder.

The queen was shocked, and the people didn't expect that the noble and beautiful queen would be so vicious. The king had to force a halt to the ceremony, and the crown prince applied for a public trial of the queen.

The king disagreed, and the queen accompanied him for decades, no matter how bad it was, it was his wife. The crown prince could not punish the culprit, so he could only cut off her wings with a big blow, and the first ones were the Earl of Mervis and the Royston family.

Jay was kicked out of the house and escaped, while Elena watched in a daze as her husband was taken away by the guards. She regretted it, how good it would have been if she had listened to her princess and daughter?

is obviously a high-ranking princess, but she was controlled by her mother in the first half of her life and the crown prince in the second half of her life, which is really a failed life.

Vivien secretly met with many nobles from the royal capital, some of whom chose to watch the fire from the other side of the royal struggle, and some of whom secretly helped the empress. Now that the west is working closely with the north, it has developed to the point where it can compete with the royal family, and they also want a piece of the pie.

Victor didn't understand why Vivien was hosting them? It's obviously a bunch of selfish garbage. Once there is a betrayal, there will be a second!

"Victor, I prefer them to the selfless people of the Grand Duke, because the weakness is too obvious." Vivien raised an eyebrow.

"Sister is saying that they are easy to use?" Victor also reflected that interests sometimes turn people against each other, and sometimes they turn into extremely strong ropes tightly around their necks.

"Clever." Vivien patted Victor on the head.

In the blink of an eye, it is the Autumn Hunting Festival, and in the Empire, men are eighteen years old, and the coming-of-age ceremony is to participate in the autumn hunting activities.

In the past, hunting events were held every year to celebrate the coming of age, but last year and the year before that, because the war did not take place, so this year there were a lot of people.

Vivien personally embroidered a handkerchief with the head of the snow wolf tied around Victor's arm, which represented the blessing of victory. Victor laughed happily and ran into the forest to hunt with his bow and arrows on his back.

In the crisp autumn of August, Vivien and Catherine sat in a tent and talked, and heard that the crown prince had proposed to Eunice.

"Even if they are married now, their first child still has no inheritance rights." Catherine shrugged her shoulders, she didn't care about the crown prince at all now.

"yes, unless he changes the laws of the Empire." Vivien ate a grape, and it was very appetizing.

"The inheritance law has been in place for hundreds of years, and the heir is not just reborn, does he want to forcibly change the entire class?"

"Who knows?"

Although illegitimate children are innocent, the enjoyment of common rights is too big a blow to legitimate children!

In the afternoon, the trumpets sounded, and the men who participated in the hunt came out of the forest one after another. Vivien couldn't help but laugh when she saw Victor return with a full load.

The prey is sent to the Winter Palace, the cook makes a barbecue in the evening, and all the servants gather together to celebrate Victor's coming of age.

On the second day of the Hunting Festival, Carol invited Vivien to the show, the first time they had gone out alone.

Carol tentatively held Vivian's hand, thinking that he was confirming his feelings, but Vivien didn't break free, and she didn't feel the fawn bumping into each other.

After watching the musical, the two went to the restaurant for dinner.

"I should like you." Carroll said.

"Carol, I'm the heir to the Klein family now, and if I get married, my husband will have to live in the North." Vivien lays out the reality that Carol's liking can't make him abandon the Order and go to the strange north.

The two finally decided to break off the engagement, and Catherine heard about it and hurried over to comfort her. In fact, many people have heard that Carol brought a strange woman to live in the house.

In September, the royal capital held a martial arts meeting, and many poor people and mercenaries have been training hard for many years, just to show their skills in the martial arts meeting, so as to confer knights and get rich bonuses.

The martial arts will last for three days, and many nobles only watch the finals on the third day, and then choose the person who pleases the eye as the knight. Vivien sat in the audience on the first day, with Karna holding an umbrella and Evans explaining.

In the arena, all contestants draw lots to choose their opponents. Each time, twenty people competed, some killed their opponents in an instant, and some people fought inseparably.

Vivien remembers that there was a girl who pretended to be a man to play a game to earn money, but unfortunately she lost on the first day, and after she returned, she was sold by her father to an old man as a lover.

The reason why the girl lived so miserably was because when she was a maid in the palace, she was ordered by the queen to bully Eunice.
