Chapter six hundred and thirty fifth building momentum
Wendy took the lead and rushed into the princess's dormitory. She stared at Sophia Liya's belly eagerly and said, "Is Your Highness really going to give birth to a little princess? Come on, let me see. Let me see. It looks different from usual."
No difference?"
Sophilia's flat belly greatly disappointed Wendy, who was very curious.
"How do you know it's the little princess? Why can't it be your highness?" Bi Luo asked curiously.
"Of course I want to have a little princess. If the princess is obedient, she can play with Wendy. If it's a little prince, it will be too annoying to make noises." Wendy replied confidently.
Because there were so many flaws in her words, even Bi Luo, who knew her character very well, didn't know how to complain at the moment. Finally, she said: "You are as skinny as a monkey, but you still have the nerve to complain about others."
"You all know?" Princess Sophia was a little stunned.
"His Highness reacts every day or two. If we didn't know about it at all, we would be derelict in our duties. Only His Highness thought he hid it well. Don't forget, I am someone who has been there." Ms. Amelia replied.
When I said the last sentence, I was obviously a little depressed.
"You all know, why don't you tell me? I have been bored in the room for so many days in vain." Princess Sophia was a little angry.
"Who knew His Highness was trying to hide this matter? We thought you were angry because of the bastards around His Highness!" Bi Luo explained.
"What's the point of getting angry with them?" Sophia Liya snorted coldly, "They just dare to play tricks that don't make sense, but do they really have the guts to use weapons against us?"
"His Highness thinks so, and we feel relieved. Once His Highness's enthronement ceremony is completed, we can return to the fiefdom and never pay attention to these dirty things here again." Ms. Amelia said with a smile, "It's just a good opportunity to recuperate.
Your morning sickness is not unrelated to these things."
"Really?" Princess Sophia was doubtful.
"Can I still lie to the princess about this?" Lady Amelia asked.
"Okay, I will tolerate them for another two months, and then I will hand over the royal capital to them. I'll see what tricks they can come up with." Princess Sophia could not help but look at her as she touched her still very flat belly.
It has become much softer.
Ms. Amelia and Bi Luo couldn't help but look at each other, as if they could see the deep meaning in each other's eyes.
This unexpected incident is not a bad thing for Princess Sophia.
Your Royal Highness, the greatest strength and greatest weakness is that you have a strong sense of mission.
Taking care of the Lancelot royal family and His Highness Laurie is a mission that has been shouldered for so many years.
In the end, I discovered that the result was different from what I originally thought.
Especially when the relationship between siblings is deteriorating day by day because of power, and may even slide into the abyss of antagonism.
One can imagine the frustration in Princess Sophia's heart.
Although Princess Sophia has been saying that once Prince Laurie ascends the throne, she will completely leave him alone.
But as old people who have followed her for many years, Ms. Amelia and the others believe that one's true nature cannot be changed.
If something happens to the royal family and Prince Laurie in the future, she is afraid that it will be difficult for her to really stand still and do nothing.
But if you have a child of your own, the situation will fundamentally change.
No matter how close the younger brother is, he is still just a younger brother.
Far inferior to a piece of meat falling off one's own body.
Only when you become a parent can you understand what it feels like.
"Why doesn't Your Highness eat the cake I sent?" Wendy asked curiously.
The result can be imagined, because Princess Sophia had a strong reaction.
Ms. Amelia waved her hand and said: "Take it, take it, take it away quickly. Your Highness is more sensitive to these greasy things now. Ask the kitchen to get some light food."
"How could this happen?" Wendy's eyes widened with a puzzled expression, "How delicious is the cake? Why did His Highness have such a reaction?"
"When you are pregnant with a baby, you will know what it feels like." Ms. Amelia said angrily.
"Impossible." Wendy vowed, "No matter what time, it is impossible for Wendy to hate the cake. Your Highness won't eat it, so it can't be wasted, so Wendy will do it for you."
Wendy happily took the fruit cake back.
"Don't irritate His Highness here. You have to go out to eat." Bi Luo simply kicked Wendy out of the room.
Ms. Amelia turned to Sean and said, "We can't delay the marriage any longer."
"Of course, that's why I'm here this time." Sean nodded and said, "Let's start preparations now. We don't need you to worry about our military leadership, but your highness needs more help from the ladies.
Yes, if you need anything, just ask. By the way, as for the wedding dress, you don’t need to prepare it, we have already ordered it.”
"This is natural." Ms. Amelia agreed without hesitation.
The union between Sean and Princess Sophia is not as simple as a marriage between two people, but also a combination of two forces.
Therefore, Sean started preparing for at least two weddings.
One game takes place in the royal capital of Valesta.
The other one is placed at the leader of the Evernight Army.
If necessary, one will even be held in the princess fiefdom.
Because this is more like a ceremony to announce to the world.
Sean did not imitate the sudden attack proposal in his previous life. In front of everyone, he handed over a huge diamond ring and set off the whole audience.
This sounds very interesting, but it is not suitable for them.
This will only cause a strong backlash and cause them some unnecessary trouble.
Sean is not afraid of trouble, but there is no need to cause trouble for himself, right?
So, Sean did what he did best—putting public opinion first.
"Have you heard? The upstart Earl led by the Yongye Army is planning to propose to Princess Sophia."
"I've also heard about this. Not only is this count a nouveau riche, but he also has no self-awareness at all. He dares to propose to our pearl."
"That is, how can our princess like him? Although he is now a hereditary earl, it cannot change the fact that he is from a barbarian."
"This Earl is very calculating. If he can really marry Her Highness the Princess, he will be able to completely take off the cloak of a barbarian and a nouveau riche. In less than three generations, it is not necessary to turn the name of Earl into a Grand Duke."
"This thing isn't necessarily all bad, right?"
"How to say?"
"Everyone has witnessed the momentum of the Yong Ye Army Leader in recent years. Nearly one-third of our various shops in Valesta are now opened by them. It is no exaggeration to say that they are as rich as the country. The most important thing is
What’s more, their lord is still so young and his future is limitless. It might be a good destination for Your Highness to marry him. Otherwise, who else in Byron can be worthy of our Highness?”
"It seems that there really aren't many people who can take action."
"It's just that the other party is an Andis after all. The royal family has no precedent of marrying outside the family for so many years."
"You are just stuck in your ways. If you keep looking at them with such a colored look, they will never be able to truly integrate into the Byron Alliance. Once His Highness is married, there will be royal blood in their family bloodline, and the leader of the Yongye Army will really
He has become the leader of our ninth army."
"It makes sense. This is a move that can be done without losing any blood. If Her Royal Highness agrees, she will definitely consider this. We should support this matter."
"Yes, we should support Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Almost overnight, the news of Sean and Princess Sophia's marriage was widely spread in the streets and alleys of Valesta.
In the first week, the direction of public opinion was clearly against it.
In the eyes of the proud and arrogant Valesta people, Princess Sophia is marrying off. Although Sean now bears the name of Earl, it cannot change the fact that he is an Andis and a foreigner.
But under the guidance of thoughtful people, public opinion slowly turned in another direction.
Because they discovered that Princess Sophia had many benefits from marrying Earl Sean.
Of course, the opinions of these ordinary citizens are irrelevant and they have no influence on this matter.
What can really have an impact on this matter are the royalists surrounding Prince Laurie. They really have no way to influence the opinions of Princess Sophia or Prince Laurie, but they can make a fuss about the princess's fiefdom.
Earl of Douglas's House.
In recent months, large-scale banquets have been held all night long every day, with an endless flow of people.
As the date of Prince Laurie's coronation approaches, Earl Douglas becomes even more popular.
Because he is the number one royalist figure and has considerable influence in the Lancelot royal family, he is Prince Laurie's top choice as the first prime minister.
Today's banquet was particularly lively. Earl Justin, Earl Roderick, and Marquis Monroe all gathered in Earl Douglas's private reception room.
These three people, together with the Earl of Douglas, formed the core circle of royalists who had recently been extremely active in the royal capital of Valesta.
Douglas was the top choice for Prime Minister.
Justin is a strong contender for Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Roderick owns pubs and pornographic industries in many cities. He is known for being well-informed and is an excellent choice for the intelligence minister.
Marquis Menrod was born in the military and maintained several iron cavalry in his hands. Although he was not as elite as the Broken Mouth Blood Cavalry, he was still somewhat famous in the plains of Asia Minor. He was more than enough to maintain internal stability and was a favorable competition for the Minister of Military Affairs.
who.
Their origins are different, but their experiences in the past ten years are strikingly similar.
That is, they were excluded from the ruling circle of the Lancelot royal family by Princess Sophia. They could only hibernate in their own territory and silently accumulate strength.
Waiting for the next big reshuffle of rights.
Now that the new king has ascended the throne, it is a great opportunity for them to exert their strength.
Forming an alliance is natural and logical.
They don't need everyone to get the position they want. As long as half of them are successful, they can control part of the royal family's say, and they can slowly fight for the rest.
"There are rumors in the city that our princess will marry the upstart Earl of the Evernight Army. You should have heard about it. What do you think of this matter?" Douglas shook the tall red in his hand.
Wine glass, asked first.
"This news spread throughout the entire royal capital seemingly overnight, which is a bit abnormal," Earl Roderick said.
"What's so strange about this? The entire Dawn Tavern is the spy of the leader of the Yongye Army in the royal capital of Valesta. It couldn't be easier for them to spread some news." Earl Douglas sneered, "
Our Princess, who is said to be wise, became confused when it came to this kind of matter, and actually allowed other forces to move in on a large scale."
"Confused? Your Highness the Princess is not confused at all. Among those industries, she does not have any shares in any of them. All she needs to do is acquiesce in their settlement, and carriages of gold and silver will be sent to her every year. Now it is even worse.
She is about to become the mistress of these industries." It is no accident that Count Justine can become the candidate for Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Earl Douglas said with a strong attitude: "In the past, she bullied His Highness Laurie when he was young and acted recklessly in the royal capital. No one dared to resist. After we come to power, this kind of thing that is not conducive to the rule of the royal family must be stopped, even if it is the princess's property.
It won’t work.”
"That's exactly what it should be."
"That's how it should be done."
Justin and Earl Roderick echoed at the same time.
"Tsk!" Marquis Menrod, who had never spoken a word, sneered.
Earl Justin said somewhat displeasedly: "What does the Marquis mean?"
"If you are interested in the huge profits from other people's industries and want to keep them for yourself, just say so directly. Don't make the reasons so high-sounding. It doesn't matter if you want to take advantage of them, but have you considered whether you have the ability?" Marquis Monrod said.
He said stiffly.
"We are planning for His Highness and the royal family, but it is not as bad as what the Marquis said." Roderick argued with an embarrassed face, but there was a guilty conscience that could not be concealed.
His family has been engaged in similar industries for a long time and is a leader in this aspect.
At least before the sudden rise of the Dawn Tavern chain led by the Yongye Army, nearly half of the taverns in the Asia Minor plains were owned by their family.
Leaving aside other places, in the royal capital of Valesta, their family's tavern with a long history was defeated by the Dawn Tavern chain store. If the Dawn Tavern had not been involved in the porn industry, giving them a chance to breathe, their family business would have been completely destroyed.
It's possible to squeeze out of Valesta.
In the past, Princess Sophia was so powerful that Count Roderick could only swallow his anger.
Now that the situation has reversed, he naturally wants to take advantage of them. If he can capture them, the Bart family will reach a higher level in his hands.
"Okay, okay." Marquis Menrod waved his hand impatiently, "None of us knows anything about the other. Your little tricks can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me. Princess Sophia has indeed resigned now.
Although she lost the position of regent, the influence she established over the years is still there.
Since His Highness Laurie has not married Miss Strachey as the queen, she is the only link between the royal family and the Blood Castle. You have heard about this year's border war. The Theoddin Empire has mobilized millions of Austrians.
Din Orcs, once the border is compromised, I don’t need to say what kind of tragedy it will bring to the entire alliance.
Now that the East Odin Empire has been completely smashed, and the Lion Tribe Royal Court has fallen apart, it will be a matter of time for the West Odin Empire to unify the Odin Grassland. The pressure on the border will only increase, and Archduke Cedric is famous.
To protect your shortcomings, if you touch Her Royal Highness, aren’t you asking for your own death?”
