Chapter 104
Chapter 104
Although King Obstar is Queen Mary's first heir, to this day, many people think that King Obstar's seat was snatched.Even those who opposed King Obstadt denied that Pauline had not abdicated by Queen Mary, or that King Obstadt had usurped the power of king while Queen Mary was alive. Na's status as queen, and the inheritance rights of her three legal children.
Although there are not a few princes and princesses who rob their parents of the throne in history, everyone has a steelyard in their hearts, and they will always reach an agreement with the imprisoned parents afterwards, and by the way, carry out some face-saving projects to stop the mouths of foreign forces and the general public.
However, King Obstar did not have the opportunity to do so.
Because Queen Mary never recognized that his status and scepter were obtained through legal channels, and Bishop Felipe also publicly condemned his brother's behavior, and the most cowardly Earl of Calda could act without saying anything. But he pretended to be ill and fled to the Grand Duchy of Aquique, ignoring King Obstar's request for a statement.
One can imagine how much instability King Obstar faces after his mother refuses to reconcile with him and his brothers don't recognize his status.
And this instability was forcibly suppressed by King Obstar, and the commemoration finally ushered in the outbreak period.
"The Duchess of Brittania is only 16 years old. Even if she inherits the throne, she needs to be corrected by her elders." The Duke of Devichel in Cantero pushed his glasses and carefully read the information sent by the spies. After repeating it, he said to Seys with a complicated face: "According to the current situation, only Bishop Felipe and Count Calda can be regents for the Duchess of Brittania, but considering Count Calda's ability, It is estimated that the one behind him is the Grand Duchess Aquique."
"Can you find a way to split them?" Seyes's first reaction after five times was not self-pity, but deep fear.
You must know that Queen Mary back then only won the friendship between the Principality of Brittania and the Grand Duke of Aquique, and then pressed Cantero to the ground when both Odin and Solins remained neutral.
In case these three countries are really united through Mariana, and then the Grand Duchess Aquiquie will assist the government...
"..." Seyes, who took the place of his father as a hostage when he was young, suffered from "Queen Mary phobia" for a long time after returning to China.
It wasn't because of how horrible Queen Mary was, or how inhumane he had been treated at Obsta's court.On the contrary, Queen Mary allowed Seyes to be educated with her grandchildren, and even behaved like an ordinary old lady in front of him-provided Seyes didn't see her grim face when she ordered.
There is no doubt that in the eyes of the young Seys, who has realized that he will become a king, Queen Mary is a fascinating and complex figure.
Her self-confidence, wisdom, and unyielding characteristics have affected Seyes' character and cognition. Even after he returned to China, he still worked hard to study the edict issued by Queen Mary, and gave to his fiancee Queen Mary. have rather complicated attitudes.
From the standpoint of the Cantero people, Seyes should hate Queen Mary, the woman who caused harm to his country and father.But from the standpoint of the king, Seyes admired Queen Mary very much, and worshiped the most legendary king in the past 100 years.
And this also led Seyes to project the above complex emotions on Mariana after she got engaged to Mariana.
As the granddaughter of Queen Mary, Mariana has long chestnut-red hair similar to Queen Mary, with a baby-fat face, and light green eyes similar to the Grand Duchess of Aquique. She looks like Queen Mary in peace Harmless to humans and animals, it will neither give people a gorgeous and compelling feeling, nor be easy to disappear in the crowd.And she was quite low-key during her time in Cantero, making it hard to imagine that she was the granddaughter of Queen Mary, an Aquique with half Obstar blood.
However, amidst the voices of questioning, only Seyes was more aware of the similarities between Mariana and Queen Mary.
Although Mariana never expressed her political views, and she didn't even have contact with the courtiers, Seyes knew very well that Mariana was by no means an ordinary noble lady.During his time in Obstar, he knew very well how much Queen Mary liked this granddaughter, and he took Marianne with him almost every day.
At first, Seyes thought it was Queen Mary showing her favor to Grand Duchess Aquique. After all, Queen Mary helped to end all the messy things King Obusta did, so he favored Grand Duchess Aquique's daughter a little. Drowning is not a bad thing.
It's just that this cognition was shattered after Seyes actually came into contact with Mariana.
It is impossible for an ordinary noble lady with royal blood to live smoothly in Cantero's court when the Cantero people generally reject the Obsidas.
Even Patriarch Cantero, who has a prejudice against Mariana, cannot deny that Mariana is very suitable as the hostess of Cantero in dealing with others, and even Seyes is not as good as Mariana in this respect.
And when Seyes established an alliance with the Pope and insisted on breaking off the marriage contract with Mariana, the Patriarch of Cantero was also the most opposed person.
After all, regardless of the old grievances between Cantero and Obsta, among those princesses and noblewomen of the right age, there are very few who can compare to Marianne.
Moreover, the Grand Duchess of Aquiquie had only two children at that time, and the Grand Duchy of Aquiquie and the Principality of Britannia did not adopt the idea that "princesses will lose their inheritance rights after marriage", so Patriarch Cantero suggested that Sey Si took a gamble.
Maybe!
Maybe the legal son of the Grand Duchess of Aquique died without heirs, and Nasais would have the opportunity to inherit the Grand Duchy of Aquique and even the Duchy of Britannia through his wife, and even unite these two countries to destroy Obstar.
It's a pity that Cantero's religious ideas were criticized at the time as being too idealistic.
Ironically, this idealized idea became a reality, and an upgraded version was made, which caught everyone by surprise.
Seyes would not have been so surprised if Mariana had only inherited the Grand Duchy of Aquique or the Duchy of Britannia.
After all, Mariana couldn't even rank in the top five in Obstar, and the Northern Alliance has always wanted to win over the Grand Duchy of Aquique, and then use this as a base to fast forward to the step of plundering the wealth of the South.At that time, Seyes is confident that he will win over the Papal States, Solins, Odin, and even Obsta, who has become a feud, against the Grand Duchy of Aquique and the Northern Alliance, and even provoke internal disputes in the Northern Alliance.
After all, among the three northern kingdoms, Transia is separated by a river from the Grand Duchy of Aquique, while Frozen and Zeeland are separated from the south by two dark forests, so wealth inequality will be the biggest weakness of the Northern Alliance.
It's a pity that this idea will be destroyed under Mariana's forced supremacy.
If Obstar, Britannia, and Aquique can be merged into one country, then Mariana will not only have one-third of the land and the largest resources in the south, but also be able to achieve self-sufficiency in general. It is an existence like an iron wall.
If Mariana really achieved the unity of the three countries, then unless the Northern Alliance and the southern countries attacked Mariana's country together, any country would have to kneel down to face this behemoth.
But compared to the three countries that are geographically connected and culturally similar, can the Northern Alliance and the Southern countries really reach an agreement?
I'm afraid they will fight first before unanimously speaking out!
…………
……
Facing Seyes' question, Duke Devicher wanted to show a wry smile, but he couldn't make a satisfactory smile because of the too bleak reality: "Your Majesty, how do you want to divide them?"
"Aside from Count Calda who has no right to speak, neither Bishop Felipe nor the Grand Duchess of Aquique will harm the interests of the Duchess of Brittany. To put it a bit too far, Obsta's Who is the life-saving medicine?"
"Is it the 16-year-old Duchess of Brittania? Or the wealthy Grand Duchess of Aquique with a certain foundation for ruling?"
"Even if the Obsidas exclude foreigners from intervening in politics, they have to admit that neither Bishop Felipe nor Count Calda are the most suitable regents for the Duchess of Brittania. Only Lady Aquique Only the Grand Duke can stabilize the current situation and help the Obsidas repel us."
Speaking of this, the Duke of Dewitcher also added: "Don't forget that the Grand Duchess Aquique was once raised by Queen Mary, so she is not completely without supporters in Obstar, at least in the north of Obstar. All the nobles will agree to allow the Grand Duchess Aquique to assist the Duchess of Brittania."
"All in all, this alliance is invulnerable, right!" Seyes sighed, suddenly feeling dark in front of his eyes.
He knew the character of Bishop Felipe. Although he was a saint in private life and was as stubborn as Patriarch Cantero, he was not as alert and decisive as Queen Mary in terms of politics and issuing orders.If only the man was a soft-eared populist.The bad thing is that Bishop Felipe is very sober, and even because he is too clear, he often gets into entanglements.
Maybe before he could figure it out, Grand Duchess Aquique kicked off his monopoly on Mariana's regency, or he himself realized that Grand Duchess Aquique did a better job, so he took the initiative to give up the power to this sister-in-law .
This is really... too bad.
The more he thought about it, the more desperate Seyes sighed again, and once again regretted his act of breaking off the engagement with Mariana.
If he hadn't broken off the engagement with Mariana back then, then not only the Duchy of Brittania, but even the Grand Duchy of Aquiquie would be his now.
If he hadn't agreed to the plan to disrupt Obstar's royal city, then the Obstars wouldn't have jumped the wall and pushed Mariana to the throne, causing Cantero to now have to face a behemoth.
But what Seyes didn't know was that worse was yet to come.
