The Origin of Arcane

Douglas, Justin, and Earl Roderick looked at each other, chattered for a long time, but failed to reply.

Because the Stray family's role in the pulse-breaking defense line is irreplaceable.

Although the Stray family has vowed not to intervene in the internal affairs of the Byron Alliance without authorization.

But just listen, don't take it seriously.

If Grand Duke Cedric is really angry, no matter which family has to weigh it.

After all, the Byron Alliance is rooted in the broken line of defense.

With the broken line of defense in place, the Byron Alliance may continue.

If the broken line of defense is lost, the Byron Alliance will fall apart.

Earl Douglas is also a human being, smoothing things over: The Marquis misunderstood what we meant. When did we say we were going to attack Her Royal Highness? We just said that some ruling concepts in the capital must be changed. Today we are not here to discuss this. I just want to ask you what you think about the marriage between Princess Sophilia and Earl Sean, and what kind of attitude should we adopt?

The Marquis of Menrod asked stiffly: What do we think, is it important? As long as Her Royal Highness agrees, can we stop this matter?

Can we still have a pleasant discussion?

Earl Douglas roared in his heart, regretting inviting Marquis Menrod to such a party.

He has the ability, but his temper is a bit too straightforward, the typical type of talking to death, if it weren't for their newly established small group, which needs the deterrence and support of force, the ghost would form an alliance with him.

Earl Roderick said with the same expression of displeasure: According to what the Marquis means, we don't have to do anything, just watch like this? If that's the case, what's the point of us sitting here? Why don't we go back to our respective territories, Continue to watch them domineering, and I heard that the Marquis of Menrod was extremely brave, but now it seems that it is a story of youth.

In the end, there was a clear taste of cynicism.

The Marquis of Menrod did not respond to this and said: We are sitting here to seek better development, not for your revenge. Princess Sophilia has already stepped down from the position of regent according to the agreement. As long as she Hand over the royal power in your hand as scheduled, what do you care who she marries?

If this annoys her, and the matter of making His Royal Highness enthroned repeatedly occurs, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss? Don't take the other party's patience as cowardice. Some of your small actions in private have crossed the line. Apart from disgusting or even angering the other party, they have no practical significance.

The small conference room fell silent again.

Although the Marquis of Menrod didn't name them, they knew who they were referring to.

Thinking about it calmly now, the actions of the royalist faction led by them have indeed been mixed with too many personal emotions in the recent period.

Because many of them have the same experience.

In the past ten years, being suppressed by Princess Sophie Liya is really miserable.

Now that he has a chance to stand up, he will naturally vent his dissatisfaction in the past.

On the other hand, the princess faction backed down everywhere, as if they put the overall situation first.

Over time, the two sides formed a stark contrast.

If they continue in this way, it will only make more and more people sympathize with Princess Sophilia's misfortune.

After all, Princess Sophilia's reputation has been extremely polarized in the past ten years of rule.

Those who loathe, repel, and wish she would step down immediately are mostly those lords and nobles who hold real power, including most of the royal family branches, as well as some devout believers of the Holy See of Saint Ether.

But in the minds of ordinary citizens, Princess Sophie Liya is definitely a rare sage in the history of the royal family. They regard her as the jewel of the royal family, and they will give her a thumbs up when they mention her.

The reason for this situation is naturally related to the main policies implemented by Princess Sophilia during her regency.

Princess Sophilia thinks that the royal family of Lancelot is declining day by day. In addition to the increasing growth of the Holy See of Ether, which has shared too much of the interests that originally belonged to the royal family, it is also because there are too many nobles and nobles derived from the royal family over the years. It is also the chief culprit for dividing the power of the royal family.

Therefore, taking the Holy See of Ether is only the first step, and the second step is to try to centralize power, bringing all the military power and financial power in the hands of the nobles and nobles under the name of the royal family.

When the Holy See of Saint Ether was attacked, although some nobles and nobles who were in collusion with the Holy See were not happy.

But that is only a small part, and most of the nobles still actively support it.

After all, many people also suffered from the annexation of the Holy See's land, but in the past, they were weak and dared not speak out. At that time, with the lead of the Princess Regent, they naturally took the opportunity to take back their occupied land.

When the Lord and nobles were attacked, it was outraged by the public, and they were boycotted. In the end, nothing happened, and only the experiment was carried out in their own territory.

This also caused many nobles and nobles in the princess's fiefdom to change from real power nobles to false nobles. Although Princess Sophilia gave a relatively fair compensation policy at the beginning, the wealth in their hands is not necessarily less, but don't think about it. They say that Princess Sophie Leah is half good.

After all, the land and army that their family valued most were all taken away.

Their slander further deteriorated Princess Sophilia's reputation among the nobles.

This can be seen from the serious fault of power during the reign of Princess Sophilia. There are many important positions that are vacant.

Princess Sophilia can rely heavily on people brought over from the matriarchal Strachey family.

Earl Douglas said very sincerely: The Marquis is right. Some of our current actions have indeed crossed the line. Apart from venting our dissatisfaction, it doesn't have much meaning. Afterwards, I will send someone to adjust and let the people below restrain themselves. , It's just that Princess Sophilia's marriage is not as unimportant as you said, it will involve the future.

The rise of the Yong Ye army leader is rapid. In just ten years since its establishment, it has an army of nearly 100,000, competing with the Kingsley family.

In recent years, we have been crazily accumulating money from our royal capital. How stupid is it for those brainless women to exchange a town's annual income for a flashy dress?

No one knows what kind of strength the Yong Ye army leader has now.

In the past, we could exclude them on the grounds that they were aliens.

Once married with Her Royal Highness, the door of the entire alliance will be completely opened for her.

At that time, Her Royal Highness will be followed by two major military leaders. Do you still think this matter is really irrelevant?

The Strachey family, guarding the Broken Line of Defense, has the military power to sweep the world.

In the past, the means used by the Byron Alliance to check and balance them was in the supply of materials.

As long as you hold this point firmly in your hands, the hundreds of thousands of troops on the broken pulse defense line will not dare to act rashly.

But since last year, the Stray family hooked up with the leader of the Yongye army, and started border trade in a booming manner.

The finances of the Strachey family improved several times immediately, and within a short period of time, they no longer needed to act according to the face of the Lord Byron Alliance nobleman.

This is not the most important thing, after all, this kind of border trade has now been forcibly interrupted by the Theodin Empire.

Most importantly, because of the thread of Princess Sophilia, everything connected the Strachey family and the leader of the Eternal Night Army.

The Stray family has soldiers.

Princess Sophilia has food.

The Yong Ye army has money.

What kind of terrifying monster will they be when they unite?

Not to mention that they are just a group of royalists standing behind Prince Laurie, even those grand duke families have to weigh it carefully.

Once Princess Sophilia married Earl Sean, the leader of the Eternal Night Army, her power would not be weakened by resigning from the position of regent of the Lancelot royal family, but would instead become stronger.

Justin, Roderick, and Menrod had more or less speculations in this regard, but they were not as thorough as Earl Douglas thought, and the cloud on their faces could not be dispelled at this moment.

too much stress.

The question is, can we stop this matter? Marquis Monrod said with a cold face, The other party has even taken into account the opinions of the low-level citizens, so it must be fully prepared in all aspects. If we show up rashly, we will only become the target of the other party.

What does the Marquis mean? Earl Roderick asked knowingly. In fact, he already had a decision in his heart, and he just wanted to use the other party's mouth to say it.

The Marquis of Menrod obviously didn't have that many calculations, and he replied straightforwardly: Doing nothing is the best way. The impact of this matter is so great. It will not be us who will feel the most uncomfortable at that time. After all, His Royal Highness and the Princess His Highness's feelings are obvious to all, as long as we don't interfere wantonly to sabotage, it should last for a long time, as for the future, we can only talk about it later.

This is an out-and-out compromise tactic.

Just whitewashed it with high-sounding reasons.

At present, this is the only way to go. We still give priority to ensuring the smooth transfer of power and helping His Royal Highness to stabilize the regime. Earl Justin took the lead in expressing his opinion.

At times like this, it's really not easy to cause trouble. Earl Douglas finally said, Everyone, control your own people and don't force Her Highness too much. After all, Her Highness owes something to the royal family and has a deep relationship with Her Highness. , we can't make it difficult for Your Highness.

It should be so. Roderick nodded repeatedly.

The unique shamelessness of nobles was vividly displayed in this small meeting.

At the beginning, they were still filled with righteous indignation, thinking about how to suppress Princess Sophilia and her close leader of the Yongye army after the new king ascended the throne.

But when it is discovered that the strengths of the two parties are not directly proportional, and angering the other party will bring catastrophic consequences for oneself.

After a sudden change, he is ready to play emotional cards with Princess Sophilia to maintain the relationship between the two parties. He completely forgot about his disgusting face before. When the time comes, it is still unknown whether Princess Sophilia will take care of them or not. !

Regarding the marriage between Princess Sophilia and Sean, the biggest obstacle is the old forces of the Lancelot royal family headed by the royalists, when they kept silent on this matter.

The whole thing went smoothly beyond imagination, and Sean formally proposed to Princess Sophilia at a banquet arranged in advance.

His Royal Highness Princess Sophilia, I would like to marry you and be my wife. I would like to promise you that starting today, whether in good times or bad times, rich or poor, healthy or sick, I will always love you , Cherish you until the end of the world, I promise that I will guard and accompany you until death, are you willing? Sean knelt down on one knee, and delivered the huge diamond ring to Princess Sophilia.

This should be a very vulgar way of proposing marriage. Even the words of the proposal have a bit of plagiarism.

Sean really wanted to do something shocking, but his EQ was really lacking in this area. After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't come up with a better trick. He could only follow what he knew best and was the most clichéd. up.

But clichés are not clichés, it depends on the specific background.

If it was placed in Sean's previous life, this method would be absolutely rotten, whether it was TV dramas, movies, or reality.

But in the Byron Union, it was a bit shocking, not to mention the guests, even Princess Sophilia, who knew about it in advance, was a little shocked.

After all, this is a patriarchal society. Although the status of women is somewhat loose, the overall status is not very high. If it weren't for Princess Sophie Leah catching up with the Lancelot royal family in a special period, she had to come forward. In the eyes of the royal family, she is just a marriage tool, just like most women from noble families.

According to the normal procedure, the two of them held hands at the banquet to officially announce their relationship as a couple, and then agreed on a time to formally get engaged.

The marriage proposal in front of him is purely a drama added by Xiao En himself.

After a brief silence, the entire living room was immersed in a buzz of discussion.

What is he doing?

It should be proposing to Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Marriage proposal? Propose in this way? What do they think it is? This is a big matter related to the two families, how can it be such a trifle?

This may be a unique custom of the Andes people.

Barbaric, vulgar, and only those uncivilized barbarians will use this method.

Absurd, it's really ridiculous. This kind of situation should and can only exist in storybooks. It's too messy. It's too messy. It's corrupting our customs. If it spreads, Wouldn't it make countless kids who don't know good or bad mess around? It will ruin our family style and rules!

Most of those who reject this method are traditional and conservative men. In their eyes, this is a self-deprecating thing, even if the other party is a princess.

It's so romantic, just like in the biographical story, the noble knight proposed to the beautiful princess. I didn't expect to be able to witness this scene with my own eyes.

What a beautiful ring, what is it made of? It seems to be glowing, look, look, does that light look like a shield? It's amazing. I've never seen this kind of ring before, is it A new product launched by Yongye Junling?

If someone does this to me, I will definitely agree without hesitation.

Promise, promise quickly, what are you waiting for, Your Highness?

Those aristocratic wives and young ladies all looked mesmerized and excited, wishing to exchange their bodies.

Even if Sophie Liya is not a princess, she will become the most dazzling existence in the audience at this moment. This is something that many women dream of. Many noble ladies secretly make up their minds at this moment. If their future groom does not do this to them, they will definitely not Will nod and agree to marry him.

I don't agree, what qualifications does a barbarian have to marry our respected princess... What do you want to do? Uh...

Although these banquets are carefully arranged, there is still no way to completely prevent Leng Touqing from coming out to cause trouble.

It's just that the young nobleman, who was filled with righteous indignation, was thrown out by two guards dressed as servants before he could finish his speech.

For this kind of person, neither Sean nor Sophie Liya will be merciful, and the manpower has been deployed long ago. Could it be possible to really make the kind of thing that challenges Sean face-to-face happen?

Their marriage, where a group of irrelevant people dictated.

I am willing. I don't know if Princess Sophilia was shocked by Sean's hand, or she was enjoying this moment, she answered a bit late, and stretched out her beautiful hand to Sean.

The happy smile on her beautiful face showed that she enjoyed this sudden surprise very much.

After Sean put the tailor-made diamond ring on her hand, she also took off the ring on her middle finger and put it on Sean's little finger as an engagement token.

So far, the relationship between Sean and Princess Sophie Liya has been officially determined.

Sean is thirty years old this year, and Princess Sophie is thirty-three years old.

For them, life has just begun.
