Chapter 156 Diane's Problem

After Count Orson received Princess Blanche in the courtyard of Wushan Castle, Diane followed her father here.

Her intuition told her that Count Jesus's arrival might be related to her father, Orson.

"Father, was it you who invited Jesus to Wushan Castle?"

Orson looked at his daughter, then nodded slowly, "Diane, your intuition is as accurate as always. Yes, I did invite Jesus here."

"Why?"

Diane confusedly asked: "The Marquis doesn't have a very good relationship with the other party, and Wiggins hates him even more."

In the early years, when the territory was divided, Rulans and Jesus had some disputes;

Thirteen years ago, when the Polante Bandits Group was starting to gain power, they invaded the small town of Surrey in Wushan Territory, resulting in Baron Amos Surrey's death in that war.

At that time, Amos sent a distress signal to Count Moonlight Valley, but Jesus did not take any action.

After Amos' death, the sad news reached Ushan Castle, and his daughter, Fatima, Wiggins' first wife, died of depression shortly afterward.

Therefore, Wiggins dislikes Jesus very much and can even be said to hate him.

"To confirm his status as Breton's heir," Orson said.

Dai Anni shook her head slightly. "I don't think Breton's position is unstable, father. Although Ronin's recent performance is very good, the Marquis will not change the heir without sufficient reason."

"Haha, there is nothing he, Lu Lans, dare not do."

Orson smiled and said, "I know more and more about Lulans than you do. Even if there is no change in the next three to five years, after a long time, if Roning shows enough ability in governance, he is very likely to decide to change it."

Diane found this statement difficult to believe. Wushan Castle needed a powerful heir now. Ronin couldn't do it, but Breton could.

What outsiders don't know is that with Breton's training speed, he could easily become a mid-level knight at fourteen.

By reaching adulthood, he should already be a high-level knight. Such a talent for cultivation is rare!

Diane wanted her son to inherit Wushan Territory, but she wanted a complete Territory, not one full of contradictions and fragments.

She relied on her mother's family's power but did not want her mother's family to offend the entire Wushan Fort and many nobles.

"So what are you going to do?" she asked.

Orson laughed and shook the tall crystal glass in his hand. "You saw it too. Jesus has already conveyed his intention in the square. Even if Lulans wants to change it, we, no, Jesus and others have a reason to intervene."

Regarding the question of "establishing two heirs at the same time" in the square before, no matter how Roning answered, it would not change the result.

"Diane, this Blanche is going to marry Ronin. With a status related to the royal family, we can't deal with it too harshly, even if he wants to do something in the future."

There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, "So, we must make Lu Lansi have more scruples and considerations when he wants to change the heir again instead of him being able to decide alone."

When Ronin was abolished, Lulans alone only had to make the decision;

If Breton wants to be deposed now, besides Orson's disagreement, more people, especially members of the royal family, will question it. That's enough.

So, this was one of the reasons why Orson invited Jesus over.

Diane wanted to say something else, but she had to admit that this was a good idea and would benefit Breton.

She sighed, "Father, I hope you can inform me first next time something like this happens."

"I'm sorry, Diane. This happened so quickly that I didn't have time to tell you."

Orson said solemnly: "But I promise, I will never do it again next time."

The two chatted for a while, and then Diane left the yard.

Whether it was Blanche's sudden arrival or Jesus' coming later, these were beyond her expectations.

She could assist Breton in governing the territory, but she did not have the ability or foundation to think and make arrangements from Lulans and Orson's perspectives.

Over the years, she has not been able to build up her power in Wushanbao because Lu Lansi, to whom most people are loyal, is still there.

Once Lulans died, Wiggins could, at best, maintain the status quo of Wushan Territory. She was unsure how much sincere loyalty he could gain from his vassals.

So for Diane now, the best situation would be if Rulans could live another ten years in peace, and then her son Breton could grow up peacefully as the third-generation heir.

In ten years, Bretton's strength should be able to reach the gold level or even higher. By that time, more Wushan Territory nobles would be willing to follow him than Wiggins. Her family will have to think twice before doing anything instead of asking for her and her son's opinions as they do now.

"Maybe I also need to find a suitable marriage partner for Breton." Diane thought.

At the same time, Princess Blanche's residence, a restricted reception courtyard in the Marquis's Palace, had been cleaned up in advance.

At this time, Blanche was changing clothes in front of the mirror while talking to her bodyguard.

"Missy, what do you think of that Ronin?"

"It's much better than we thought when we set out."

Missy recalled Ronin's reaction when the Griffin Squadron swooped down on him.

"Your Highness, he is braver than I am, and his appearance and manners are more decent. Aside from his lack of strength, I haven't discovered any shortcomings yet."

"some."

"Huh?" Missy tilted her head, very confused.

Blanche put on a fur coat and tied a corset, immediately making her figure look smoother.

"I found that in private, he didn't talk much."

When she returned just now, she asked Ronin a few more questions about Hillwood Town. He said there was not even a solid castle, the population was only over 4,000, and the knights' salaries were almost unpayable.

All in all, nothing good to say.

Generally speaking, shouldn't the man describe his image better in this situation?

Blanche looked at herself in the mirror with resentment, "I think he said that on purpose because he dislikes me."

Missy couldn't help but laugh: "Your Highness, you are someone people only admire. Who would despise you? After all, those rumors are just rumors; you don't have to worry about them."

Blanche sighed, raised her hand, and quickly carved a spell pattern, and a black mist appeared on her palm.

The scene was like a white mist of dry ice constantly surging on the stage, except the mist in her palm was black.

"It's because of those rumors that I dare not tell others I am a magician."

Dark attribute,

she shook her hands and dispelled the spell, revealing her white, slender hands.

"Let's go, Luo Ning is still waiting outside."

Blanche adjusted herself to a natural state, "I heard that there is a lively competition at the Colosseum in Wushan City today. Roning is going to invite us to watch it."
