[West Fantasy] The noble lady who was divorced became rich

Chapter 15

"Your father, forget it, don't talk about that disappointing man." The Grand Duchess Aquique has become more and more impatient with Count Calda's attitude in recent years. Because she got some unpleasant news from the spies, she told her Count Calda didn't even bother to do superficial work.Unless it is a holiday, the Grand Duchess Aquique will not write to Count Calda.

Mariana felt that Earl Calda didn't want to receive a letter from the Grand Duchess Aquique, after all, who would like to be reminded that he was a son-in-law.

"You didn't call me here to chat about family affairs, did you?" Marianne remembered that the Grand Duchess Aquique didn't like people with long families and short families.Or it's been three years, the Grand Duchess Aquikwe has reached the age of nostalgia.

But if she dared to say this, Mariana would never leave the study of the Grand Duchess Aquique in one piece.

"I've talked so much nonsense with you, it's time to get to the point." Grand Duchess Aquiqui propped her chin, her eyes wandering on Marianna's face: "There's news from Solins that it's yours." My aunt is pregnant."

After listening to the painting of Grand Duchess Aquique, Mariana's expression changed for a moment, and then she was caught by her mother: "Don't tell me that you have no more love for Richard of Solins."

Marianne was seven when she first got engaged, and Richard, who was twice her age, was a teenager, so they didn't get along very well.

Because Mariana's inner core is an adult, and Solins' Richard is in a rebellious period, so the two fall into a vicious circle of mutual dislike.But in the eyes of outsiders, this is also the "evidence" of their good relationship.And even the Grand Duke Aquique felt that Mariana should have no more affection for Richard of Solins. After all, she was attracted by the old and rebellious King Obstar back then, and then made a move that she regretted. thing.

"I just lament that Richard is a ruthless person who can even sacrifice himself." Mariana's tone was as calm as ever, but it made the Grand Duchess Aquique wonder whether Mariana had any more feelings for Richard.

"My aunt is almost 50 years old. Is it really okay to get pregnant at this age?" Mariana was almost adopted to the childless Duchess of Brittania when she was young, and in her engagement agreement with Richard, it was It clarified Mariana's inheritance rights to Britannia, and even the Grand Duchess of Aquique signed a demotion bill that would take effect immediately after the death of the Duchess of Britannia, so as to ensure that Mariana could She surpassed her mother and siblings and became the first heir to Britannia.

However, these treaties were selectively forgotten after Richard of Solins broke his engagement with Mariana and got the Pope's pardon to marry the Duchess of Brittania.

To be honest, Mariana was not even sure whether these treaties would still have legal effect after she and Richard broke off their engagement.

However, looking at the attitude of the Grand Duchess Aquique, Mariana knew without guessing that the pregnancy of the Duchess of Britannia was not good. treaty.

"You also know that the health of the Duchess of Britannia has never been better." The Grand Duchess Aquiqui recalled the past, and felt that her family was a mess: "If it weren't for those nobles who didn't want to die after your grandfather passed away, Let your grandmother intervene in the government of Brittania, and it will not be my sickly sister's turn to inherit the title."

In Marianne's words, the former Duke of Brittany, her maternal grandfather, was a strange man who completely changed his destiny through marriage.Although it is a bit strange to say this on a man, especially a grand duke, it is the truth.

The first wife of the former Duke of Brittania was a businesswoman who relied on money to buy a title. She relied on her huge wealth to change the class of herself and her descendants, and gave the Duke of Britannia the money to organize an army so that she could follow her own The feudal lord-King Solins publicly challenged him.It even almost broke away from the Solins Kingdom and became another grand duchy after Aquique.

However, the first wife of the former Duke of Brittania was not a long-lived person, and even her only daughter was in a sickly body. Therefore, for the sake of national interests and continuation of the blood, Mariana's grandfather agreed with the rule of the Grand Duchy of Aquique. The first marriage, and then in the second marriage, there is an extra daughter, which is Mariana's mother.

It stands to reason that the supporters of the theory of blood would make it difficult for the nobles of the Principality of Brittania to accept a merchant's daughter as their ruler, but out of guilt for the first wife and the rule of Brittania rights concerns.Mariana's grandfather still resisted all the arguments and let the eldest daughter become the first heir, and then handed over the ownership and naming rights of the second daughter in order to reach a reconciliation with his second wife, Mariana's grandmother.

Although some meddlesome people always love the conflict between the Grand Duke of Aquique and the Duchess of Britannia, in fact, there is really not much conflict between the two half-sisters who are ten years apart.

After all, when Mariana's grandfather remarried, the mother of the Duchess of Brittany had died three years earlier, so there was no derailment or other emotional disputes in marriage.

Besides, Mariana's grandmother was also a very proud woman. How could a woman who could become close friends with Queen Mary of Obsta and gave birth to the Grand Duchess of Aquiquie degrade herself to embarrass a little girl who lost her mother.

Even though the Duchess of Brittania doesn't have much affection for her stepmother, she can still be regarded as a respectful guest.After all, after the birth of the Grand Duchess of Aquique, the Duchess of Brittany rarely saw her stepmother and half-sister. Instead, the mother and sister got closer.

Because of the physical reasons of the Grand Duchess Aquique and her preference for gender issues, after Mariana was born, the Duchess of Brittania, who was not tough, proposed to adopt her step-sister's youngest daughter, and then let Mariana Marry Richard of Solins to complete the complete merger of Britannia and Solins.

In the eyes of others, this may be the military weakness of the Duchess of Brittania and the stupidity in state affairs.But the Grand Duchess Aquique knew very well that the people of Britannia were tired and could not fight with the Duke of Britannia as they did decades ago.

It is important to know that the Grand Duchy of Aquique has accumulated several generations of power before it became independent from Cantero and became a Grand Duchy capable of negotiating with the kingdom.However, Britannia, relying on the power of one generation of rule, is like completing the 100-year career of the Grand Duchy of Aquique.

In particular, the body and character of the Duchess of Brittania do not support her becoming a tough ruler, so she can only choose a peaceful path that benefits most people within the scope of her options.

However, Solins still failed to give the Duchess of Brittania the time.

Marianne could imagine her aunt's marriage to Richard of Solins, which was by no means riddled with pain.

But what she didn't expect was that the consequences of this marriage almost triggered civil wars in many countries.
