Five hundred and ninetieth eight chapters disturbing transformation

"You mean that you have been locked up in the mage tower during this period? You don't eat or drink, you just rely on magic energy to survive?" Princess Sophia couldn't help but sit up straight.

"Yeah!" Sean nodded and said, "A lot of things have happened in the Eternal Night Army in the past year, and many of them can even have a profound impact on the Byron Alliance and Ashan. Unfortunately, many things now, I

I can't tell you, otherwise I will just put you in a dilemma. When will you become the mistress of the Yongye Army Leader, I will tell you even if you don't ask."

The leader of the Yongye Army is growing stronger, and Lord Sean is also maturing.

Especially when facing the regent Princess Sophia, I already know exactly what to say and what not to say.

Lover and wife.

These are two completely different concepts.

Because the responsibilities carried by these two words are different.

Before getting married, Sophia's heart turned towards the royal family of Lancelot, which was a matter of course.

After getting married, if Sophilia continues to focus on the Lancelot royal family, it would be cheating.

The human relations and customs of the entire Byron League are like this.

The formation of such customs is closely related to the large number of marriages between nobles.

If the wives who marry into the family are devoted to their parents' families and transfer profits no matter what, will they still be able to live a normal life?

However, in this era, the status of women in noble families is not as low as imagined.

It is a common pattern that many male hosts are away fighting, while the female host stays at home.

Of course, there are people who do this, but they are very few.

Once married, the man's property belongs to him. If he gives his property away, even if it is to his biological parents and brothers, few people are willing to do so. After all, human nature is selfish.

Princess Regent Sofilia cannot escape this.

Although she has feelings for the Lancelot royal family and Prince Laurie, she is not selfless enough to give up her vested interests.

She has always held the princess fiefdom and the Knights of the Steel Rose in the eastern part of the Asia Minor Plain, including some ambiguous territories, firmly in her hands, not giving Prince Laurie any chance to interfere.

Sophia Liya revealed some of her true thoughts to Sean.

For her, the Lancelot royal family is her responsibility. For this responsibility, she has devoted the best fifteen years of her life, and she will not bear this responsibility indefinitely.

After Prince Laurie fully takes over power, it will be his responsibility. No matter whether he does good or bad, it will no longer have a direct relationship with her.

She could not carry the royal family of Lancelot and Prince Laurie for the rest of her life.

Although there is an element of complaint in it, whether I can be so free and easy in the future remains to be seen.

At least Sophia Liya is flesh and blood and has her own thoughts and desires.

"No wonder you feel a little different this time from the last time." Sophia Liya supported Sean's chest, opened the distance between the two, and looked at him carefully again.

"Is it stronger and more durable than before?" Sean said slightly proudly.

Sophia Liya rolled her eyes at Sean angrily and said, "Is this what you were thinking of?"

"Don't you like it?" Sean chuckled.

"Poor male pride." Sofilia didn't want to continue to lie between the beds. They had indulged in this a little too much this week. In Valesta, the rumors about her and Sean were probably starting to fly again.

.

Even a fool can see at this moment that the relationship between the two is more than just allies.

Neither Princess Regent Sofilia nor Sean care as much as before. Anyway, their marriage is about to be put on the agenda, and they just need to choose a date and announce it to the public.

"What are you looking at?" Sean hugged Sophia Liya's slender waist from behind and followed her gaze, looking out.

I saw bright lights outside, and half of the royal capital was right in front of me.

"I don't know how long this beautiful scene can last." Sophia Liya sighed quietly.

"Why are you so sentimental today? This is not like you normally." Sean asked with a raised eyebrow.

"These are troubled times." Sophia Liya did not directly answer Sean's question, but then sighed.

"Troubled times?" Sean guessed, "Are you referring to the Theodian Empire being on the verge of collapse? Or is there something wrong with the transfer of power to Laurie?"

"Although the Theodin Empire is powerful, there is no need to worry too much with my grandfather taking charge." Sophia hesitated, "But Laurie..."

As expected.

There is no truly smooth change of power in this world. A lot of evil is hidden under the water and is not known to anyone.

After all, there are huge interest groups involved, and the process of changing rights will inevitably affect the interests of some people.

Sean pretended not to know: "What happened to Laurie? Didn't he perform very well in the past year? He has a good reputation both among the lords and nobles and among ordinary people."

"It's not about his character, but the way he does things recently. I can't understand it more and more." Sophia shook her head, with uncontrollable worry on her beautiful face, "In recent times,

He and Enid were a little too close, too abnormal."

"Enid? That saint of the Holy Ether Church?" A holy face flashed in Sean's mind.

To be honest, the unique aura of the saint of the Holy Ether Church is so strong and recognizable that even Sean, who has an amazing memory, only the unique aura of her body comes to mind at the first time, and the specific appearance is not.

It's not particularly clear anymore.

Sean asked doubtfully: "Isn't Laurie not very interested in those natural candidates for queen?"

The last time they met at Brothers Harbor, Laurie did not show special concern for Enid. On the contrary, she was like a hot potato and wanted to throw her hands away to Sean.

"That's why I say it's abnormal." Sophilia frowned, "Not long after returning from the Scholars Conference, he got closer and closer to Enid, and developed feelings for the Holy See and the God of Truth.

Strong interest, that feeling, like being under a spell..."

Although Sophia Liya didn't explain it very clearly, Sean immediately understood what her real worries were.

The Lancelot royal family is unwilling to have too deep entanglements, whether it is with the Holy Ether Church or the secret meeting of witches.

No matter which one you get too close to, it means destroying the balance. If you are not careful, you will be involved in the power game between the two international forces that has lasted for centuries.

It may even shake the balance of Byron's alliance over the years, thereby affecting the dominance of the Lancelot royal family.

Among them, the Holy Ether Church is the most important. Over the years, they have grown and developed like a vine, relying on the Byron Alliance.

The stronger they are, the more nutrients they draw from the Byron Alliance, and the weaker they become.

After the regent princess Sophilia came to power, she has been trying to weaken the Saint Ether Church. In order to take back the land belonging to the royal family, the relationship between the two parties was once very tense. To this day, they have barely achieved some results.

Now that Prince Laurie has turned around and married a saint from the Holy Ether Church as his queen, if he is influenced by her and converts again, all of Sophilia's previous efforts will be in vain, and where will the Lancelot royal family go from here?

, it’s really hard to say what impact it will have on the Byron Alliance.

It is possible that divine authority will override royal authority.

In the eyes of the regent Princess Sophia, among the many candidates for Lancelot's royal queen, Enid is undoubtedly the worst one.

"Perhaps he is just obsessed for a moment, and he will be fine after a while." Sean could only comfort Sophia Liya in this way.

It is difficult for an upright official to stop household affairs.

Especially when it comes to matters involving royal rights, Sean has no way to interfere.

The only thing that can be done is to listen to Sophia Liya's complaints and be fully mentally prepared.

Once this happens, what impact will it have on the leader of the Yongye Army?

Sophia Liya was obviously aware of this, so she only briefly touched on it and did not continue to explore this topic in depth.

When he saw Prince Laurie again, Sean finally understood why Sophilia used the term "bewitched" to describe Prince Laurie's transformation.

The difference between before and after is really huge.

Although Sean had not had much contact with Prince Laurie before, he also knew that he was not a believer in the Holy Ether Church. His words and deeds were even full of disdain for the God of Truth. After all, he was the future king of the Lancelot royal family and had the most power in the world.

One of the largest group of people, why did he bow to an illusory existence?

But now Prince Laurie speaks with praise for the God of Truth. He is on par with those devout believers who have believed in the God of Truth for more than ten years. He is even more intimate with Enid and looks at her.

The eyes are full of tenderness and sweetness, which is the unique look when looking at a lover.

On the contrary, Enid appeared to be neither cold nor indifferent, just like when we first met in Brother Port. Perhaps she was born like this, giving everyone a sense of distance, including Prince Laurie, the person who needed to be married.

Less than two months before and after, how could there be such a big contrast in one person?

Does the magic that can change a person's mind really exist in this world?

Or has Prince Laurie been brainwashed?

Or is it that the soul in Prince Laurie's body is no longer the original one?

No matter what kind of situation it is, it is very scary to think about it carefully.

No wonder Sophia Liya, who has always been more assertive, was also a little panicked.

There is absolutely nothing that can be done about this change in thinking.

It was impossible for her to crack open Prince Laurie's mind and see what he really thought.

You cannot impose your will on him. This will not only cause a strong backlash from Prince Laurie, but will also attract the hostility of the entire Lancelot royal family and the entire Byron Alliance.

Prince Laurie is no longer the little prince, he is now the new king that attracts everyone's attention.

If you impose your will on the other party, what is the difference from the previous regent?

When this happens to Prince Laurie, the first target of suspicion is naturally the Holy Ether Church.

Even if criminal psychology has not yet appeared in this world, whoever benefits the most is most likely to be the culprit. Everyone knows this simple truth.

The key problem is that there is no evidence.

One thing is certain, the Lancelot royal family is in great trouble this time.

Not only did there appear officials with the Holy See's colors around Prince Laurie, but members of the Holy Ether Holy See in the royal capital of Valesta also became extremely active, and the influence they showed even surprised Sean.



St. Andrew's Land.

Cathedral of the Oracle.

During the New Year's carnival, this sanctuary, which is said to be the closest to the true God, seemed particularly empty and quiet.

Most of the bishops and pastors who usually gather here have returned to their respective churches and are responsible for the New Year's Carnival and other related matters.

As mentioned before, their faith organization is no longer pure. They used the tax exemption rights owned by the Holy See to annex a lot of land.

Although Sophilia has taken the lead in conducting an inventory, it is impossible to take back all the land. They and some believers are actually still employed.

Naturally, the New Year's carnival has to be expressed, and when the population is highly concentrated during this kind of festive celebration, it is also the best time for them to preach. Many even if there are no churches stationed, they take the initiative to go out to preach.

An ascetic wearing linen ascetic clothing walked towards the oracle hall at an neither fast nor slow speed.

"Your Majesty, Bishop St. George, your Majesty is in retreat and it is not convenient to see guests." Two Holy See knights blocked the way of the ascetic monk, "Please go back!"

This ascetic was none other than Cardinal St. George, who had once made the situation under Manyu's military leadership more confusing and complicated.

Since the last time he returned to St. Andrew's Land with the help of the centenary of Pope Delt's accession to the throne, he has never returned to the Manyu Army.

Some people say that he was assigned a more important secret mission by Pope Delt.

Some people also say that he took the opportunity to escape from the swamp led by Man Yu's army.

No matter what the final reason was, St. George's departure undoubtedly made the new Grand Duke Patram of the Manyu Army breathe a sigh of relief, and finally took over most of the power of the Manyu Army.

It’s just that everyone with a discerning eye knows that the real essence of the Manyu Army Leader is in the territory of Countess Angibena. Regardless of the population or geographical location, the strength of the Manyu Army Leader is still greatly reduced before receiving her complete allegiance. Pat

Lem's voice in the Byron League will never rise.

This has nothing to do with St. George.

Patram is a typical person with great ambition and talent. Although he has a good wish to build up the Manyu Army, when he actually started to do it, he could not come up with any effective means.

If they want to lead the trade route like the Yong Ye Army, they don't have so many unique technologies, nor do they have a convenient geographical environment. The only natural mineral they can get - coal mines, has been seized by Anji Beina.

In some markets, there is no opportunity for him to intervene in a short period of time.

He wants to take the route of consolidating the land of the Princess Regent, but he does not have such strong influence. Although the land under Manyu's army is recovering, it has been deserted for so many years. It is not easy to turn them into fertile farmland again.

matter.

It took me a long time to figure it out, but it turned out to be neither fish nor fowl.

After being suppressed for so many years, the pressure suddenly disappeared. Grand Duke Patram was a little relieved and indulged in all kinds of banquets.

Here there is not only wine and sex, but also flattery from all directions, where you can temporarily forget the troubles caused by the world.

As the saying goes, if the door is closed, the flowers are blooming, but who cares about the door, there will be hunger and death on the road.

Therefore, many people in the territory under Patram began to miss St. George. After all, the chaos at that time was better than the inaction now.
