Chapter 500: The Surprise of Accidental Discovery

The more you realize that you can actually have another choice, the more likely you will be to feel dissatisfied with the life you could have barely endured.

Ge Li is indeed a very excellent girl.

No matter what standard she is measured, she can be regarded as the pride of the Edgeworth family.

——If it weren’t for such superior conditions, Franz wouldn’t have thought of pushing her to the position of queen.

But luckily, unfortunately, what is contained in this body is not a soul that obeys you.

Ge Li pursed the corners of her lips and didn't say anything.

Vien saw every extremely subtle reaction she had.

Seeing that her "persuasion" seemed to have achieved some results, Vinn quickly stopped when he got better and did not force her to make a decision immediately now.

As her extremely intimate partner, she often has a higher success rate than using tough methods when she reverses the other person's wishes. After experiencing so many things, Wien, who is also growing up, has consciously mastered the trick.

"Don't worry." Wien said softly, comforting her and herself.

"After the idea of ​​marrying the royal family is shattered, Secretary Franz will definitely consider your future more carefully."

"As long as... your attitude is firm enough."

...

After leaving the Edgeworth family, Wien calmed down a little.

As long as Song Li is willing to stand on his own side, other issues are actually trivial.

According to the tradition of the Kingdom of Lornes, although daughters can inherit the family's property and land without a son, they cannot inherit the title. After the father dies, the titles they have on them will be passed on to their daughter's husband or simply to their grandsons.

This ensured that there were only identities such as duchess and countesses in the Kingdom of Lornes, but no duchess or countesses.

Although it is a tradition, it has not been like this since ancient times.

Many years ago, when people's understanding of magic was not systematic, if the head of the family passed away, even the only biological daughter could not inherit any family property. If there were no male heirs in the sidelines, the titles and land of the nobles would be taken back by the higher-level lords, leaving only a small part of their property to stay with them.

However, with the establishment of major magic academies later, the kingdom cultivated a group of powerful magicians, among which excellent female magicians emerged one after another, greatly enhancing Lornes's comprehensive national strength. At that time, the king realized that magical talent also existed in boys and girls, and did not distinguish between good and bad due to gender, so he specially modified the inheritance method.

As a result, the status of the daughter in the family was also recognized, and the talented Kingdom of Lornez gradually developed into one of the most powerful countries on the continent.

However, even so, the overall conservative atmosphere of the kingdom has not changed, especially in the aristocratic circle.

The level of the title is not necessarily related to personal abilities. Everyone is just playing a game of forming cliques. Everyone is trying to play a role in a false identity, and sets of unspoken rules are reflected in all aspects of the relationship between people in the form of so-called "etiquette".

For example, what should a qualified lady be like... what should a qualified nobleman be like...

This kind of moral judgment can help those who are able to benefit from it to select smart enough partners, artificially divide "friends" and "enemy", and use this to gain the right to speak.

In other words, this is only due to the times that the kingdom has taken a step forward in the road to equal rights, but it has only taken a small step forward.

...At worst, I can take another step forward and make a fuss about the revision of the inheritance bill.

Wien thought about it.

I believe that in the current social situation where aristocratic girls can also obtain education and property rights, once such calls appear, many people should respond positively.

Especially for people like Songli, who have accumulated enough strength to some extent and have thought about external constraints, but have no reasonable way to control their own lives.

At that time, it would be impossible for Miss Ge Li to be so tempted by such a generous bait.

Once he can start his career in his own name, who will be willing to act as a foil and vassal for others? With his understanding of the personality of Song Li, Wien still has this confidence.

Wien originally planned to find his own spokesperson for his interests through bribery, and then slowly promote his ideas. However, accidents will always be visited at an opportunity that a person has never expected.

On an ordinary afternoon, the well-known playwright Mr. Pockland suddenly came to the door to ask for a meeting.

"Ahem... Master Wien."

He was holding a bound manuscript in his hand, with a rather surprised expression. "This is a good story. If you are willing to hand it over to our troupe, I can give up 70% of the performance profits."

"What?" Wien didn't quite understand what he meant.

Seeing that Wien was confused, Poklan frowned and said, "Didn't you find someone to bring me this manuscript so that I can take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Vinn immediately became suspicious of himself.

When did I do this?

Wait, am I still so young and amnesia?

Just when he didn't know how to answer, Chris's voice came from outside the door. "—I was asked for someone to send it to you."

Hearing the movement, Wien and Pockland looked at the door together.

Krissie walked in with a sly smile, with her hands in her hands and steps.

"Mr. Pockland, let Wien see his work first."

She revealed the answer, "This is actually the finished product that I have revised slightly based on his scrap manuscript."

Under Chris' explanation, Wien suddenly remembered the bloody story of being thrown into the wastebasket that day.

"...No, no?" Wien was stunned.

Is there any need to save that thing? And why do you have to go through the things in the wastebasket? Feel!

He didn't know where to start complaining.

Chris smiled and nodded with his reaction very satisfied.

"Yes~ It's what you think."

"Sometimes I am not satisfied with my drawings, I will throw them all into the wastebasket in anger and start drawing them again." When I mentioned these, her tone was relaxed.

"But sometimes, after repainting several times, I suddenly felt that it was better to handle it once before, so I would turn it out again... So I accidentally discovered this surprise."
