Chapter 39
Chapter 39
"She thought of everything too easily." After Lena left, Mariana asked Abigail to string the pearl on her daily necklace: "Now I understand why my aunt can't find the cloth." The palm of the Regent of Tania."
"If the Duchess of Brittania's confidantes are like Lena's, then those who support her are either naive idealists or people who want to replace the regent." Mariana took off her cloak and looked from Abby. Gail took ginger soup for warming up in his hand: "What do you think? I think in the drow society, this level of intrigue has long been commonplace."
"Your description is too exaggerated." Oster, who has learned from the past several times, carefully chooses his words before speaking, trying to make himself smart enough, but not smart enough to make Marianne alarm bells: "Right now One thing that is certain is that Ms. Lena can only help you win the title of Duke of Brittania and use it to deal with the regent, but cannot occupy a seat in your rule."
"Lena is not a problem." Marianna is very clear that the head maid who loves the Duchess of Brittania deeply has lost her nostalgia for the court and power: "What I want to know is, apart from Lena, Breton Who else in Tania's court can be of use to me."
Mariana said tentatively in a joking tone: "I can't let the Aquiques manage the Bretons!"
If Mariana could really do this, then Grand Duchess Aquique would have made a move long ago.
Oster suddenly understood why Marianna asked him to spy on Lena.
On the one hand, it is to prevent Lena from acting without authorization before the hearing, and on the other hand, it is to use this to screen the cronies of the Duchess of Brittania.
For Marianne, who has no political foundation and does not want to become a puppet of the nobles, it is undoubtedly the safest choice to reuse the cronies of the Duchess of Brittania.
Regardless of whether Mariana has political ideals or not, she must set up a ruling platform as soon as possible.
"You'd better mention some minor nobles who have no roots, or big nobles who have been marginalized by the regent." Mariana added: "I don't want a mountain to fall on my head as soon as I take office."
"I understand." Oster made a rough selection in his mind: "Since you have such a request, why not choose capable ministers from the small nobles and commoners, and choose for you from the neutral or marginalized nobles? The people on the platform."
"If it is based on such selection criteria, then you have to wipe out all the followers of the Prince Regent." Oster reported a few names to Marianna, and at the end, he did not forget to add: "After all, you will take over the Prince Regent in the end." The inheritance is yours, right?"
"Of course." Mariana gave Oster's answer a passing mark in her heart: "I'm starting to like you a little bit."
She took note of the names that Oster had mentioned, and then tried to get in touch with her future political team before the Pope's envoy arrived.
…………… I am the dividing line……………
The Prince Regent of Britannia's desire to control is far beyond Mariana's imagination, especially after he cleans up Richard, it's like being persecuted and paranoid, wishing to stare at Mariana himself, Richard, And everyone involved in the hearing.
This offended neutrals, as well as those loyal to the Duchess of Brittania.
"Look at how degenerated we have become." A certain nobleman related to the Britannia family sarcastically said: "A descendant of a pig butcher gave advice in the Britannia palace. Jiangshan. Leon VI (the great-grandfather of Marianna, the father of the Prince Regent of Brittany), if Izumi knows, he will regret that he did not castrate himself before the daughter of the butcher to avoid birth. Such an evil seed."
Abigail heard many such speeches at the dinner to welcome the Pope's envoy.
It seems that for a while, accusing the Britannia regent has become the default political correctness of everyone, which makes Abigail very confused.
"Since they hate the Prince Regent of Britannia so much, why did they allow him to act as their deputy for decades?" Abigail asked softly in Mariana's ear.
"Why do you think there are frequent intermarriages among nobles?" Mariana asked a seemingly irrelevant question: "My grandfather is not an idiot. Since he did not allow the regent of Brittania to participate in the funeral of the two dukes, it shows that He doesn't believe in the character of his half-brother at all, and under such circumstances, he still pushes his half-brother to be the regent of his eldest daughter, why do you think this is?"
"Because family rule is the secret of the aristocratic class's superiority to this day. In order to ensure that property will not flow to other classes, or even other families, the nobles will do everything possible to keep their positions, and then find ways to expand their power."
Marianna smirked at the nobles who were looking over, and answered Abigail's question: "The nobles of Brittania want to use the existence of the regent to share the power of the duchess, and my grandfather Why not use the existence of the Regent to prevent the nobles of Brittania from taking the power of the Duke."
Speaking of this, Marianna gave Abigail a look of "you are still too young": "Under the premise that the Duchess can hardly bear the heavy responsibilities, it is better to restrict most of the power within the family than to let the Grand Duchy of Aquiquity be tyrannical." To intervene, or let the nobles of Brittania directly take the Duchess to the ground. I am afraid that this is also the real intention of my grandfather to prevent the regent from participating in the funerals of the two dukes and make him wear a red robe."
In the end, it was the Grand Duke who almost broke away from Solins' control.
Mariana's grandfather had planned everything very well before his death.
He made his half-brother wear a red robe, and under the blessing of the patriarch, regent for his frail eldest daughter, preventing the second wife who was strong in the background from directly annexing the lost cloth in the name of a widow and second daughter. Litania.
And when the heir of the Duchess of Brittania becomes an adult, he can directly cut off the head of the regent by taking advantage of the nobles' dissatisfaction with the regent.
Even better, since the Regent of Brittania has donned a red robe and sworn allegiance to the gods and the Duchess, after he is liquidated, the heir to the Duchess of Brittania is also the property of the Regent The heir, and the power and property that the regent seized from the nobles will be used as a wedding dress for the heir of the Duchess of Brittania to monopolize the power.
It can be said that it was killing the donkey and taking advantage of the Britannia regent to the extreme.
It's a pity that Mariana's grandfather had calculated everything, but he still didn't calculate that his beloved eldest daughter was not only not interested in men, but was even forced to lose her life by Richard of Solins.
In the end, the old duke, who had fought against Solins all his life and was extremely guarded against his second wife, directly promoted the granddaughter born to his second daughter to the throne of duke.
Mariana felt that if her grandmother had known, she would laugh at his stupidity and God's will in front of her grandfather.
Abigail, who was once again refreshed by Mariana, looked at Mariana with frightening eyes: "You humans always like to demonize witches and all kinds of humanoids in literature, but I think humans are the scariest creatures in the world."
"Scary? Maybe what you said is right." Mariana noticed a beautiful boy in black in the crowd looking over, so she put on a smirk: "But it's better to be scared than to be suppressed." beat."
Mariana stretched out her hand to the beautiful boy in black who was walking over. The latter kissed lightly on the back of Mariana's hand, and then swept across Mariana's face with those glamorous eyes.
"The Pantheon ignores the charming God of beauty because of your beauty. Even if the muse has tried his best to learn, it is still difficult to reproduce your demeanor in operas, portraits, and even everything that can reflect beauty." The beautiful boy in black Has a beautiful voice no less than a professional singer.He is like the beautiful boy in the mythology, who fascinates the gods, or Pandora, who is used by the gods to lure the creatures on the ground to fall.
Whether it's the long black hair, fair skin, or iron-blue eyes reminiscent of armor, they all reveal a magical temptation that does not belong to humans.
Apart from the mermaid, Mariana had never seen anyone who could reach such a high level of seduction in appearance.
Even Abigail lost her mind for a moment when she saw the beautiful boy, and finally relied on her powerful insight talent to resist the spiritual temptation of the beautiful boy.
"Your sweet talk really makes people more happy than getting the whole of Brittany." Mariana entered the dance floor led by the beautiful boy.
Seeing this, Abigail immediately retreated to the corner of the banquet hall, watching every move of the guests for Mariana.
"Based on your high praise just now, I want to ask you a question that makes you difficult." Mariana and the beautiful boy stood at the forefront of the dance team, and beside them was Richard who was leading a certain female nobleman. Germany.
"Do I have to answer this question?" The beautiful boy knelt down with Mariana after the music sounded, then took Mariana's hand and walked around in a small dance step without haste under the gaze of everyone, and then faced each other Curtseyed again.
"Of course you have the right to refuse to answer." Marianne held up her skirt and slid out of the slow dance with the beautiful boy at the opposite angle, while avoiding the two's right arms from touching each other: "However, your answer will determine my response to you." My first impression, dear messenger."
Marianna and the beautiful boy put their right hands together, and after the dance music stepped into a gentle tone, they slowly circled around on the spot with their right hands as the center: "Don't His Majesty the Pope want us to live in harmony? Your Excellency Danhill."
"You are really the most eloquent lady I have ever seen." Dan Hill, who invited Mariana to dance, bowed his head and laughed, and after the dance tune changed, he changed his left palm and circled in reverse with Mariana.
