After a mess for a while, the king seemed to have returned to his apparent calmness.

"...As for the statement from the Kingdom of Stuart, they were very sorry for this assassination because of personal grudges."

Ge Li sat at the bedroom table and told Vin what she knew about it.

Wien, who occupied her seat, showed a thoughtful look when he heard this. "It means, are they not going to take any responsibility for this?"

In this way, the queen's situation will inevitably become even more embarrassing.

"It's not surprising." Geli couldn't help but sigh, "Although the queen is the princess whom Stuart was once favored, it was already many years ago. The throne has now fallen on her brother's head,

And she married Lornes for so long, how much affection can she have left in her motherland?"

Speaking of this, Song Li paused.

"And...thanks for telling me there is something wrong with Simon."

She looked away, and said reluctantly, and was extremely quiet.

Take a look at her face, and Wien couldn't help but lift the corners of her mouth. "If you thank you so seriously, you'll see you~"

From the corner of my eyes, I saw that he was pretending to be generous even though he wanted to seek credit, and Song Li was a little annoyed.

He is really hateful and...a little cute.

"Oh. Since that's the case, I'll take back the thank you just now." She said coldly in a deliberate tone.

“…ah this?”

Wien was stunned for a moment, then noticed the joking look in her eyes, and then realized that she had been fooled.

——Miss Geli, why don’t you play according to the routine?

He smiled helplessly and sighed, "Can I not escape from your palm?"

During this meeting, Wayne shared some of the information with her.

Although it was not fully clarified, the Winchet family, which had successfully reached a consensus with Richard, can be said to have determined the team they were standing on.

Once the status quo is no longer maintained between the king and his son, the Winchet family will become a counterattack force that Richard can rely on.

This radical choice is indeed risky.

But if you want to take the initiative in the situation, just stay still and stay there will be no good results. What's more, Richard's chances of winning are actually very high.

Another part of the purpose of Wien's trip was to inquire about Secretary Franz's tone.

According to previous performance, the Chancellor of the Finance Minister is undoubtedly more inclined to the king's side.

And the facts are indeed not beyond Wien's expectations.

"If I say yes, will you immediately rebel and join the Edgeworth family's camp?" Geli asked discontently.

"Uh..." said Vienne slowly, "this is probably not possible."

I had known that I would get such an answer, and Ge Li was not surprised. She just hummed with disdain, turned around and walked back to the bed to sit down.

"Father, he thought that your family would continue to stand by and not wade into this muddy water."

Her hands swept across the outside of her thighs, straightening out the hem of the soft nightgown and pressing it.

To be honest, Wien also felt a little strange to Duke Elliot's very positive reaction this time.

However, the reason for doing so is actually quite sufficient.

"...After all, Prince Richard is the most suitable successor. It will be easier to talk to him when he gives him support at such a critical moment."

At this time, it is important to be honest and unwilling to sell well. It will be too late to add icing on the cake when the dust is settled.

"It's Secretary Franz, didn't he think about letting you marry Richard? Why are you so ruthless to your son-in-law who is optimistic about?" Wien, who was ready to move, also stood up and sat close to Geli.

Hearing the sarcastic words in his ears, Ge Li frowned and gave him a blank look.

"No matter how outstanding Richard is, he is just a prince, not a king now." She said lightly.

"The kingdom's affairs will eventually be decided by His descendant."

So it is considered from a realistic perspective?

Yes, if you don’t force the palace directly, the king should be able to monopolize the power for many years.

"By the way, has Your Excellency Franz mentioned your marriage recently?" Wien asked in a low voice.

Out of the crisis that the song ritual might be arranged to engage in marriage one day, this incident has always made him feel like he was stuck in his throat, and he was uncomfortable whenever he heard about marriage.

It was like knowing that an explosive was placed under the chair, and even though it knew that it would blow itself to pieces sooner or later, it didn't know how long the countdown was left.

Speaking of this, Ge Li was obviously not very happy either.

She shook her head, "Not yet."

"In his heart... the most perfect result is still to become the queen of Lornes, but he seems to be no longer obsessed with this identity and has not mentioned it for a long time."

Wien tskated unhappily. "The marriage without feelings will not have a good result. What happened to the royal family can make him realize this."

"Are you hinting at me?" Geli looked at him angrily.

"No, it's explicit."

He cleared his throat and said seriously: "I can protect you and believe me."

The two looked at each other very close, and their gazes were clear.

"No matter what your father has arranged for you, if you find it difficult to refuse, tell me." Wien said. "I can definitely handle it."

Ge Li gently raised her hand and gently stroked his cheek.

"Don't think I will never have to do with you in my life." Her voice was so weak that it was almost impossible to hear clearly.

"I'm doing stupid things with you now... Maybe one day I figured it out and the relationship will end."

Wien looked unhappy.

"Why do you always say this? I won't let it go." He said unspokenly: "Is the so-called queen or duchess, the noble status of the marquis, really useful? Without real power

Just a false name.”

He didn't want to hide anything anymore. He wanted to scold himself for being hypocritical or evil, but the result he wanted must be realized.

Ge Li opened her mouth slightly and looked at him in amazement.

"Do you know what you're talking about?" she said.

"I said, there is no real power, just a false reputation." Wien repeated the words clearly.

"As soon as you get married, no matter how Minister Franz trains you, you will have to deal with those noble ladies who are filled with straw in their minds, and sit upright in the living room as a beautiful one.

Vase to show that your husband has indeed married a good woman…”

"At that time, you will no longer be Grie Edgeworth, but will only become a lady, or a mother, in the other people's mouth."

Wien took a deep breath. "—Is that really the life you want?"
