Chapter 250 Conversation
Seeing Stephanie's actions, Richard suddenly felt ominous.

Sure enough, the next second, Stephanie turned her head to Richard, and asked indifferently: "What is the purpose of you telling me about this matter, you don't have to tell me, keep it from me, anyway, I may not find out .”

"Because you are my wife, I once made an oath to God that I would not deceive you in any way." Richard played the emotional card, looking at Stephanie with affectionate eyes, and said at the same time, the latter listened After listening to Richard's words, it was touched for a while. In the ignorant Middle Ages, both commoners and nobles valued gods and oaths very much, and Richard brought up both of them at the same time. How can we not make her feel emotional?
"Okay, Richard, I believe you." Stephanie's tone softened. Seeing this, Richard took the opportunity to stretch out his hands and embrace her in his arms. She did not struggle, but obediently leaned her head on the Richard's shoulder, and then Richard said: "Stephanie, you are the legal wife I swear to marry before God and all people, no matter what, this will not change."

"What about Revani, what about her?" Stephanie asked softly, with dissatisfaction in her tone: "Are you going to keep her in your court forever?"

"She is the princess of the Principality of Lasik, my dear wife." Richard said helplessly, "The special nature of her status prevents me from easily deciding whether to stay or go. The best way at the moment is to let her stay. In the Palace of Hippolito."

"Leave her in the Ippolito Palace so that you can have trysts day and night?" Stephanie sat up straight from Richard's arms and asked, "Richard, even if you have a lover outside like other nobles I wouldn't even be so angry, but you actually brought her back directly, we Ravana are not a group of uncivilized barbarians like the Rasik, they allow multiple wives, we don't!"

"No, listen to my explanation." Stephanie's reaction gave Richard a little headache, and he said quickly: "My faith only allows me to have one legal wife, and that is you. I will send her away when I go back. She's sent to Prange, so we don't have a chance to see each other, don't you think?"

"Do you think I'm as easy to deceive as an inexperienced girl?" Stephanie asked. She knocked off Richard's extended hand and said, "You should send her back to the Principality of Lasik immediately. Don’t leave her behind!”

"Actually, I kept her so that I can annex the Principality of Lasik many years later." In desperation, Richard could only utter this sentence. He had just finished speaking when he saw Stephanie staring at him dumbfounded. When she spoke, Richard quickly explained: "Lephne has the right to claim the Principality of Lasik. When the current Grand Duke of Lasik dies, I can declare war on the Principality of Lasik under the banner of Lephne. Make her the new Grand Duke."

"You actually have such an idea." Listening to Richard's explanation, Stephanie calmed down a little. She thought about it, and it seemed that she thought about herself. After a while, she asked in doubt: "Let's What about after she became Grand Duke Lasik? Do you want to get married again?"

In the last sentence, Richard heard the joke, and he could only say helplessly: "Of course it's impossible, I've already married you, so why don't I have to create a clone to marry Revni? "

"It's a beautiful idea." Stephanie rolled his eyes at him, but now she couldn't see much anger, "Tell me quickly, I want to know what you are going to do."

"I haven't figured it out yet, and I still have to refer to the national conditions of the Principality of Lasik to formulate it." Richard rubbed Stephanie's hair, and was stared at by the latter, "But I do have a draft, That is to establish a Vadasia United Empire, including all the countries conquered by us or indirectly controlled by us. The more members there are, the greater our strength will be, just like a snowball, and eventually the entire The Valdasian peninsula is part of our combined empire."

"This..." Listening to Richard's rhetoric, Stephanie opened her mouth slightly in shock, and she asked hesitantly: "Can this be realized? Throughout history, the Vadasia Peninsula has never been unified by a single regime. Among them, many powerful countries occupied large areas of land through wars or alliances, but were eventually lost in the long river of history..."

"It can be achieved." Richard put a finger against Stephanie's thin lips, interrupting her next words, "Believe me, in my lifetime, I will definitely be able to bring the entire Wadasia Peninsula under my control. Under the rule, that’s my goal right now.”

"Okay, I believe you." Stephanie nodded, moved her fingers away from her lips, and said, then, she took the initiative to bring her beautiful face to Richard, kissing her most beloved husband……

As for Richard, he was a little dazed by Stephanie's sudden movement, but he quickly reacted and responded to Stephanie's movement. For a moment, the temperature in the entire carriage rose sharply, and the air was filled with the breath of love... …

……

Back in Nord City, Richard took Stephanie's delicate hands and walked out of the carriage. He stepped on the back of the servant who was lying on the ground as a footstep first, and stepped off the carriage in two steps before gently holding Stephanie. step down.Then, they walked into the Ippolito Palace under the guard of the Praetorian Guards. Richard held his wife's hand all the time and did not let go until he reached the bedroom. Naturally, there was no need to elaborate on the ups and downs in the bedroom.

In this way, on the next morning, Richard walked out of the bedroom refreshed. As soon as he walked out of the bedroom, he saw that the guards standing guard on both sides of the palace door had obvious dark circles around their eyes and were depressed. He wanted to ask what happened, but quickly remembered the disturbance he had with Stephanie yesterday, so he could only scratch his head in embarrassment, and went to eat the meal as if nothing had happened.

While eating the fine white bread that only nobles could afford in this era, coated with a layer of equally expensive honey, Richard recalled the conversation with Stephanie yesterday. In the end, he finally dealt with the matter of Revney. It has passed, but similar things must not happen again. One Reifney is enough for him. If it happens again, no matter how perfect the excuse is, Stephanie will not be convinced.More importantly, Richard could feel that it was Stephanie who took the initiative to give in this time. His so-called reason for annexing the Principality of Lasik was very poor. How could a smart girl like Stephanie believe it so easily.

Thinking about it, he swallowed the last bite of white bread, picked up a cup filled with clear water and drank it in one gulp, then stood up, ordered the cook to send the meal to the bedroom for Stephanie to eat, and brought the guards left the restaurant.
