The Origin of Arcane

You mean, you've been locked in the mage's tower all this time? You don't eat or drink, and you just rely on magic energy to maintain it? Princess Sophilia couldn't help sitting up straight.

Yeah! Sean nodded and said, In the past year, many things have happened to the leader of the Eternal Night Army, and many of them can even have a profound impact on the Byron Alliance and Arshan. It's a pity that there are many things now. There is no way to tell you, otherwise it will just put you in a dilemma, when you become the mistress of the leader of the Eternal Night Army, even if you don't ask, I will tell you.

The leader of the Yongye Army is growing stronger, and Xiao En, the lord, is also maturing.

Especially when facing the regent princess Sophie Liya, what should be said and what should not be said, has been mastered just right.

Lover and wife.

These are two completely different concepts.

Because the responsibilities of these two words are not the same.

Before getting married, Sophilia's heart turned to the royal family of Lancelot, which was a matter of course.

After getting married, if Sophie Liya thinks wholeheartedly about the Lancelot royal family, she will be eating inside and outside.

The same is true of the customs of the whole Byron Union.

The formation of such a custom has an inseparable relationship with a large number of marriages between nobles.

If those wives who marry into the door are dedicated to their natal family and engage in profit transfers if they have nothing to do, will they still be able to live?

But in this era, women's status in the lord's noble family is not as low as imagined.

Many male hosts are fighting outside, and it is a common pattern for the female host to guard the house.

Of course, there are people who do this, but there are very few.

Once you get married, the man's property belongs to you. To give away your property, even to your biological parents and brothers, few people are willing to do so. After all, human nature is selfish.

Princess Regent Sophilia couldn't escape that either.

Although she has feelings for the royal family of Lancelot and Prince Laurie, she is not selfless enough to give up her vested interests.

She has always firmly held the princess fief and Iron Rose Knights in the eastern part of the Asia Minor Plain, including some ambiguous territories, in her hands, and never gave Prince Laurie any chance to intervene.

Sophilia has somewhat revealed her true thoughts to Sean.

For her, the royal family of Lancelot is the responsibility she bears. For this responsibility, she has devoted the best fifteen years of her life, and she will not bear it without limit.

After Prince Laurie takes over the power completely, it will be his responsibility, no matter what he does good or bad, it will no longer have direct relationship with her.

It is impossible for her to carry the royal family of Lancelot and Prince Laurie for a lifetime.

Although there are elements of complaints in it, whether it will be able to be so free and easy in the future is still a matter of opinion.

At least Sophie Liya is flesh and blood, with her own thoughts and desires.

No wonder you feel a little different this time from the last time. Sophie Liya supported Sean's chest, opened the distance between the two, and looked at him seriously again.

Is it stronger and more durable than before? Sean asked a little proudly.

Sophie Liya gave Xiao En an angry look and said, That's what you thought of?

Don't you like it? Sean laughed.

Poor male self-esteem. Sophie Liya didn't want to continue to lie between the beds. They indulged in this a bit too much this week. In Valesta, the rumors about her and Sean probably started to fly all over the sky again. .

Even if they are fools, they can see at this time that the relationship between the two is not just as simple as allies.

Neither Princess Regent Sophilia nor Sean cared as much as before. Anyway, their marriage is about to be put on the agenda, and the only thing left is to choose a date and announce it to the public.

What are you looking at? Sean hugged Sophilia's slender waist from behind, followed her gaze, and looked out.

I saw that the lights outside were brightly lit, and half of the king's capital was close at hand.

I don't know how long this beautiful scene can last. Sophie Liya sighed faintly.

Why are you so sentimental today? This is not like you usually. Sean asked with raised brows.

It's troublesome now. Sophie Liya didn't directly answer Sean's question, and then sighed.

Troublesome times? Sean guessed, Are you referring to Theodin Empire's sidelines? Or is there a problem with the transfer of power with Laurie?

Although the Theodin Empire is powerful, you don't need to worry too much because your grandfather is on top of it. Sophilia hesitated to speak, But Laurie...

as expected.

In this world, there is no real change of power without waves, and a lot of filth is hidden under the water, that's all.

After all, it involves a huge interest group, and the process of changing rights will inevitably affect the interests of some people.

Sean pretended not to know and said, What's wrong with Laurie? Didn't he perform very well in the past year? He has a good reputation both among nobles and ordinary citizens.

It's not his character, but his way of doing things recently. I can't understand more and more. Sophie Liya shook her head, with uncontrollable worry on her beautiful face, Recently, He got a little too close to Enid, too unnaturally.

Enid? That saint of the Holy See of Ether? A holy face flashed in Sean's mind.

To be honest, the unique aura of the saint of the Holy See of Saint Ether is too strong and highly recognizable, even for Sean, who has an amazing memory, the first thing that comes to mind is the unique aura of her body, not the specific appearance. Not particularly clear.

Sean asked suspiciously: Isn't Laurie not very interested in those natural queen candidates?

The last time they met in Brothers Port, Laurie did not show any special care towards Enid. On the contrary, he was like a hot potato, eager to throw his hands on Sean.

It's because of this that I say it's abnormal. Sophilia's brows twisted into a pimple, Shortly after returning from the Scholars Conference, he got closer and closer to Enid, and developed a relationship with the Holy See and the God of Truth. Strong interest, that feeling, like being enchanted...

Although Sophilia didn't make it very clear, Sean immediately understood her real worry.

The royal family of Lancelot is unwilling to have too deep entanglements with the Holy See of Saint Ether or the secret meeting of witches.

No matter which one you get too close to, it means breaking the balance. If you are not careful, you will be involved in the power game between the two international forces that has lasted for centuries.

It is even possible to shake the balance of the Byron Alliance over the years, thereby affecting the dominance of the Lancelot royal family.

Among them, the Holy See of Saint Ether is the most important. Over the years, they are like vines, relying on the Byron Alliance to grow and develop.

The thicker they are, the more nutrients they draw from the Byron alliance, and the weaker the dependents are.

Since Princess Regent Sophilia came to power, she has been trying to weaken the Holy See of Saint Ether. In order to recover the land belonging to the royal family, the relationship between the two parties was once very tense. Today, they barely see some results.

Now that Prince Laurie turns around and marries a saint of the Holy See of Ether as his queen, if he is influenced by her and converts, all Sophilia's previous efforts will be in vain. What will the royal family of Lancelot do in the future? , It is really hard to say what impact it will have on the Byron League.

It is also possible that theocracy will override the power of the king.

In the eyes of Princess Regent Sophilia, Enid is undoubtedly the worst among many candidates for Lancelot's queen.

Maybe he was just fascinated by ghosts for a while, and he will be fine after a while. Sean could only comfort Sophia in this way.

It is difficult for an upright official to decide on housework.

Especially this kind of thing that involves the rights of the royal family, Sean has no way to intervene.

The only thing that can be done is to listen to Sophie Liya's complaints and be fully prepared.

Once this happens, what kind of impact will it have on the Yongye army leader.

Sophie Liya is obviously aware of this too, so she just tasted it and did not continue to discuss this topic in depth.

When he saw Prince Laurie again, Sean finally understood why Sophilia used magic to describe Prince Laurie's transformation.

The difference between before and after is really too big.

Although Sean didn't have much contact with Prince Laurie before, he also knew that he was not a believer of the Holy See of Ether. His words and deeds were even full of disdain for the God of truth. After all, he is the future king of the Lancelot royal family, and the world's most powerful One of the largest group of people, why did he bow his head to an ethereal existence?

But now Prince Laurie opens and closes his mouth, all with praise for the God of Truth. He is on a par with those devout believers who have believed in the God of Truth for more than ten years. He is even more intimate with Enid, looking at her The eyes are full of tenderness and sweetness, which are the unique eyes of looking at a lover.

On the contrary, Enid is not cold and indifferent, just like when we first met in Brothers Harbor. Maybe she is like this by nature, giving everyone a sense of distance, including the object of marriage, Prince Laurie.

In less than two months, how can there be such a big contrast in one person?

Is there really a magic in this world that can change a person's mind?

Or has Prince Laurie been brainwashed?

Is the soul in the body of Prince Laurie different from the original one?

No matter what kind of situation it is, it is extremely scary to think about it.

No wonder Sophie Liya, who has always been more assertive, panicked.

This change in thinking is completely useless.

It's impossible for her to break Prince Laurie's mind and see what he really thinks.

You can't impose your will on him. In this case, it will not only cause a strong rebound from Prince Laurie, but also attract the hostility of the entire Lancelot royal family and the entire Byron Alliance.

Prince Laurie is no longer that little prince, he is now the much-anticipated new king.

If you impose your will on the other party, what is the difference from the previous Regent?

When this happened to Prince Laurie, the first object of suspicion was naturally the Holy See of Saint Ether.

Even if criminal psychology has not yet appeared in this world, whoever makes the most profit is most likely to be the culprit. Everyone understands this simple truth.

The key problem is that there is no evidence.

One thing is certain, the royal family of Lancelot is in great trouble this time.

Not only did Prince Laurie appear around officials with the color of the Holy See, but members of the Holy See of Saint Ether in Valesta, the capital of the kingdom, also became extremely active. The influence they showed made Sean feel a little bit startled.

...

St. Andy.

The oracle cathedral.

During the carnival of the New Year, this sanctuary, which claims to be the closest to the true God, seemed extraordinarily empty and quiet.

Most of the bishops and pastors who usually gather here have returned to their churches to take charge of the New Year's carnival and other related matters.

As I said before, their belief organization is no longer pure. They took advantage of the tax exemption rights owned by the Holy See to annex a lot of land.

Although Sophilia has taken the lead in the investigation, it is impossible to recover all the land, and they and some believers are actually still employed.

The New Year's carnival naturally has to be expressed, and this kind of festival celebration, when the population is highly concentrated, is also the best time for them to preach. Many even those who do not have a church stationed take the initiative to go out to preach.

An ascetic monk wearing a linen ascetic monk's uniform walked towards the oracle hall at a neither fast nor slow speed.

His Excellency, Bishop St. George, His Majesty is in retreat, and it is inconvenient to see guests. Two Holy See knights blocked the path of the ascetic monk, Please go back!

This ascetic monk was none other than the cardinal St. George who had made the situation in the Manyu army more chaotic and complicated.

Since the last time he returned to St. Andy under the title of Pope Delter who had been on the throne for a hundred years, he had never returned to the Manyu army.

Some say he was assigned a more important secret mission by Pope Delt.

Some people also said that he took the opportunity to escape from the swamp led by Man Yu's army.

Regardless of the final reason, St. George's departure undoubtedly relieved the new Grand Duke Patlem of the Man Yu army, and finally took over most of the power of the Man Yu army leader.

It’s just that anyone with a discerning eye knows that the real essence of the Man Yu army is in the territory of Countess Angelberina. Regardless of the population or geographical location, before she gets her full allegiance, the strength of the Man Yu army is still greatly reduced, Pat Lyme's voice in the Byron Union was never lifted.

This has nothing to do with St. George.

Patrem is a typical example of great ambition and talent. Although he has a good wish to build the Manyu army leader, when he actually started, he couldn't come up with any effective means.

If they want to lead the business route like the Yong Ye Army, they can't come up with so many unrivaled technologies, and they don't have a convenient geographical environment. The only natural minerals they can get - coal mines, have already been seized by Angel Bena. In some markets, there is no chance for him to intervene in a short period of time.

If you want to take the path of returning the land of the princess regent, he does not have such a strong influence. Although the land led by Man Yu's army is recovering, it has been deserted for so many years. It is not easy to turn them into good fields again. matter.

The result was tossing for a long time, neither fish nor fowl.

Coupled with being suppressed for so many years, the pressure suddenly disappeared. Grand Duke Patraim was a little relieved, addicted to various banquets and couldn't extricate himself.

There is not only wine and sex here, but also flattery from all directions, which can temporarily forget the troubles brought by the secular world.

As the saying goes, when the door is closed, the flowers are blooming like a brocade, and whoever is in charge of the door will die of hunger on the road.

Therefore, many of the citizens under Patram's rule began to miss St. George. After all, the chaos at that time was better than doing nothing now.
