Chapter 173
Chapter 173
"I'm sure if I want it, but who will give birth?" Of course, Mariana understood Botis' hint, so she crossed her legs and pretended that I was not in a hurry: "Since Sidi can? For the Pope, can you and Astaros, even Asmodeus... be pregnant?"
Botis didn't expect Marianna's thoughts to jump to this point, so it's okay to say it's shocking? But: "Aren't you worried that I will give birth to an illegitimate child?"
For female rulers, every offspring is extremely precious.Because it can't be guaranteed that all children can live to marry and have children, and because of the risks involved in pregnancy, very few wealthy women engage in illegitimate children.Even the Grand Duchess Ajikui, who has countless lovers and changes every two years, pays great attention to this aspect after suffering a great loss of youth and vigor.Otherwise, if you look at those prostitutes who are unable to prevent pregnancy due to teachings and their own conditions, you can understand that having an illegitimate child is an existence that tramples everywhere.
Of course, some speculators are not ruled out. They want to give their husbands a little green, but those are a minority. After all, with the development of magic and the continuous expansion of the academy tower, the big family has long had a system to confirm bloodlines. special method.You just want to do a coquettish operation of changing the civet cat for the prince, and you have to be prepared to be exposed.
However, if there is an alliance between the strong and the weak, or if a certain party really has an unspeakable secret, it is not impossible for an "illegitimate child" to succeed to the throne?Of course, this illegitimate child must be the child of a legal couple on the surface, just to avoid future troubles, this kind of thing will definitely be notified to the family elders of both husband and wife, and then set a series of constraints to avoid Once the insider dies, some people will turn their faces and deny it.
However, those who can come up with such a set are all foolish people who have nothing to do.Those who are afraid of trouble are either agreeing to a divorce, or adopting a child from a close relative or an orphanage, so there is so much effort to fight on it.
To sum up, if Botis wanted to make Mariana suffer, then why did Mariana leave the two innocent boys and use herself as a demon hybrid experiment?
On the contrary, if Botis is willing to give birth, Mariana can consider the other party's proposal.
After all, pregnancy is troublesome and childbirth is painful.
Why would Mariana not be happy if someone could share this responsibility?
On the contrary, Botis who proposed was choked by Mariana's answer, and then moved the palm on top of Mariana to the right.
"Why, didn't you talk?" Marianna, who noticed Botis's mood change, continued to ask, "They're all demons, why? What Sidi can do, but you can't?"
"..." The words in Botis' ears actually meant "Why are you so useless."
The irony is that although demons are born without gender, they will adapt to a certain state as time goes by, so not all adult demons, like Asmodeus or Sidi, can? Change your gender.
Besides, taking a step back, even if Botis could transform into a female body like Sidi or Asmodeus, it would not be able to change the inconvenience of his physical structure.
Mariana thought that Botis had sex with her first with a male body, and then turned back into a female body to conceive.But the problem is that Botis didn't have a substantial gene exchange with Marianne at all, so Marianna also understood something in the other's indescribable eyes, and couldn't help showing an "unfair" look .
"Cut! When? Men really take advantage." Marianne turned her head to dispel this idea, and then squinted at Botis: "What are you still standing here, I'm afraid others won't give you a bad face. title?"
Colin is not far from Obstar, so Mariana can go to Mrs. Christina's mansion to rest before? Then set off to return to the capital of Obstar.
For Mrs. Christie, Mariana's presence is undoubtedly the Barrett family and the Raymond family's attention, so when she received the news that Mariana was coming to stay overnight, Mrs. Christina waited at the gate with her children. mouth, and then? Before Marianne came, she asked the butler to take care of the Barrett family's old house up and down.
Fortunately, Marianne's private visit this time is a private visit, so Mrs. Christina doesn't have to spend a lot of money on image projects, and she doesn't have to invite some nobles to eat and live in the Barrett's house for free, so as to set off the Barrett's and Raymond's family in Austria. Prestige in the north of Busta.
"Alexander, please be honest, don't scratch your face again." Mrs. Christina smoothed the folds of her waist, and she caught a glimpse of her little son acting like a fool, so she said very displeasedly: " You are already eight years old, and in another year you will go to the page boy training camp, or be sent to Obstar Palace."
According to the tradition of Obstar and even the entire south, one or two core members of the great noble families will always be sent to the royal city as hostages.Mrs. Christina was the heir of the Barrett family before she got married, so she was sent to the court of Queen Mary, and became the maid of Queen Mary or the female companion of the Grand Duchess of Aquiquil along with a group of noble ladies from Obstar. .
After Mrs. Christina became an adult, Queen Mary's sympathy for the Barrett family, coupled with the fact that Christina's first husband died without heirs, cut off the direct line of the Raymond family, so after Mrs. Christina After giving birth? He didn't ask the direct descendants of Barrett's and Raymond's families to return to the royal city.
As for Mariana's uncle when he was in power, it was to appease the north where tax revenues were higher every year. In addition, Mariana's uncle sent his illegitimate son to fight for power with Mrs. Christina, so To save Mrs. Christina from sending her children into the palace.
However, during Mariana's reign, Mrs. Christina's two children had reached a sensible age, and they were not likely to die young, so she was willing to send them to Mariana's side, first to consolidate the two families and the core of power The second is to let them receive the best education, and the third is to avoid children from solving some difficult things.
As Mrs. Christina entered middle age, her married husband, Rudion, became more and more noisy, and gradually changed from making small moves secretly to blatantly blackmailing Mrs. Christina, asking Alexander to change his father's surname to inherit the Barrett family.
Mrs. Kristina: I think you're out of your mind? Ass.
Of course, civilized people will not be rude in public, and Mrs. Christina is still a great nobleman in the north of Obstar, so she is not as willing as Rudion, but it is impossible to let others People continue to read their own jokes.Therefore, when Marianna intended to stay at Barrett's house, Mrs. Christina decided to send the two children to Obsta's capital, and then she focused on killing the son-in-law.
"Your Majesty, we are very honored to have you here." Mrs. Christina just finished reprimanding her youngest son, and then she saw Obstar's flag appear on the horizon, and soon there was a decorated car The exquisite carriage appeared in front of Barrett's mansion, and a girl who was somewhat similar to the young Queen Mary got off.
"Countess Barrett, I am also very pleased with your enthusiasm." Mariana first greeted Mrs. Christina who was saluting, and then put her hand on Alexander's palm, and asked him to kiss his hand.
"Your Majesty." The young Alexander has the same blond hair and blue eyes as Mrs. Christina, and at the same time has a fair complexion and a handsome appearance, obviously with a bit of northern style.
Mariana remembered that Mrs. Christina's second husband was just the second son of a declining noble family, but looking at Alexander's appearance, she seemed to understand why Mrs. Christina chose him.
But this also reminds many aristocratic ladies who want to find a husband not to pick someone based on appearance, otherwise Mrs. Christina's today will be their tomorrow.
【What a troublesome marriage. 】
Mariana smiled on the surface, but after Alexander greeted her, she turned her attention to Mrs. Christina's youngest daughter.
Unlike her bold brother, Mrs. Christina's youngest daughter is more like a frightened oriole, with a very delicate appearance.
After Mariana looked over, Mrs. Christina's youngest daughter took a bold step forward and almost stepped on her skirt during the salute.Fortunately, Alexander who was on the side quickly supported his sister, thus avoiding a tragedy.
"Your Majesty, the Barrett family and the Raymond family welcome you." Mrs. Christina's youngest daughter also has a voice as nice as that of an oriole, but Mrs. Christina doesn't like this kind of personality: "What is Beatrice? It's all good, it's just too shy."
In front of Mariana, Mrs. Christina certainly would not try to tear down her daughter, but Beatrice's performance in front of Mariana still disappointed her: "I hope she is in your court, can you? Get bold."
Beatrice was two years younger than Alexander and couldn't do anything at court.Fortunately, Marianne's maids don't need to do rough work, and those maids who can? participate in government affairs can't? Have a shy personality.
Mrs. Christina used to be Queen Mary's chief maid, so she very much hoped that Beatrice could inherit her mantle and become one of Obsta's power cores.
But now it seems that Beatrice still has a long way to go.
Of course, Mrs. Christina would not receive Mariana at the door, so after omitting some unnecessary pleasantries, Mrs. Christina obtained the qualification to accompany Mariana alone.But what she didn't know was that this private escort also brought a little white snake hidden in Marianne's sleeve.
"You mean you want me to sign Rudion's arrest warrant?" When Mariana was alone with Mrs. Christina, the latter finally said something difficult to say.
"Yes, please allow me to arrest Rudion." Mrs. Christina tried her best not to show embarrassment: "He used procedures full of loopholes to transport several serious criminals, undermining the local legal justice. "
Speaking of her husband whom she hadn't seen for many years, Mrs. Christina said without emotion: "I need to maintain justice in this area, as well as your majesty, so..."
"I see." Mariana stopped Mrs. Christina from saying what she was about to say.
It stands to reason that the big nobles in some places are actually local local snakes. Even if the law stipulates that the arrest or execution of nobles above knights requires the approval of the parliament or the signing of the ruler, but for some particularly rampant big nobles To put it bluntly, it is normal to get on the bus first and then make up the fare, and the ruler will only be reprimanded or fined some money after hearing it afterwards, and will rarely fall out with the local big nobles.
So class oppression is not limited to civilians, but also some powerless minor nobles.
Mrs. Christina wanted Mariana to sign the arrest warrant just for the sake of getting along with her.
