So you just ran back like that?"

Looking at the dirt-faced Alinoa in front of her, Marian was laughing and crying. Belloga and Lucia next to her were also surprised. In their impression, although this princess did not have any royal airs, she was as stern as a rigid soldier. Escape from marriage... This kind of thing doesn't seem to be something she would do. In fact, when Marian and others saw Alinoa rushing into the castle with dust at first, they thought there was some emergency military information. As a result, they did not expect that His princess would actually escape back to Azus on the day of the ceremony because she was not satisfied with the engagement the royal family had made for her.

“……………………………”

Alinoa remained silent, but she bit her lip tightly, obviously very dissatisfied. Noting her attitude, Marien could only sigh helplessly.

"Miss Elinoa, you'd better go and rest. You'll be very tired from Lily Flower City to Azus overnight. I have no power and no way to solve this problem. I can only wait until I Ming and Mayalie come back before handling it."

"Um………"

As before, Aiya didn't say much, just nodded silently, and then walked towards his room.

"Huh…………………It's okay, things don't seem that troublesome."

"No trouble.........? Lord Maan, Lord Alinoa is running away from marriage, and such a big thing happened..."

Lu Xi was a little puzzled. In her opinion, the impact of this matter was already very serious. Alinoa would do such a move that was not like she would do was first of all, and she actually ran back to Azus. So, how should Azus deal with this problem next is obviously in front of them, which is a very serious crisis.

But when Lucia asked Marien, she shook her head.

"No. If you think about it carefully, we will find that there are too many strange things here... But I can't say these things for the time being. I can only explain them after Lord Yiming and Lord Mayalie come back. In short, there is no need for everyone to worry about this matter now. The only thing we need to pay attention to is the Detroit family."

Although Lucia's political ability is that she is only good at working and doing things within a field and doing externally. She doesn't understand it so well. But Marian is different. She always looks at the overall situation and can judge the direction and changes in politics and diplomacy from some micro points. Although Alinoa's escape from engagement seems to be full of romantic girlish feelings. However, if you think about it carefully, you will notice that there are quite strange problems inside.

But where did Yiming and Mayalie go?

Walking up the second floor, Marien unconsciously looked at the study room of both of them. At this moment, she was also a little tired and physically and mentally. After Alinoa left, almost all the military and political affairs of Azus were pressed on Marien. No matter how strong the girl had administrative abilities, she had a limited energy for a person. Fortunately, after the Lord of Green and Lord of Darkness entered the college branch again, she suppressed the magicians who had become a little irritable and restless. This prevented the situation from further expanding.

"Sister Marian?"

At this moment, a faint voice came from the entrance of the stairs. Marian looked in the sound and saw the ice fish standing there. Although the expression on her face had not changed much, there was still a hint of worry in her eyes.

"You look tired, I think, you need a break."

"Thank you for holding on."

Marian barely smiled and then stood up. At this moment, Marian's body suddenly shook, which made her look surprised.

"Strange, is it an earthquake?"

"Sister Marian, you are going to rest now. Your body has reached..."

There was no tough word in Bingyu's tone that before she finished speaking, Marien fell to the ground and fainted.

"Maryan fainted?"

After finally recovering from the dizziness brought by the teleportation array, Yiming and Meyali got the news that surprised them from Luxiya and Bingyu. They had no time to pack up the joy of finally returning home and rushed to Marien's room. While opening the door, Yiming was stunned.

"What's going on?"

The piles of official documents almost formed several high towers on the desk without losing their busy schedule. On the bed not far away, Marian was closing his eyes and falling into a drowsy sleep. Her face was pale and even a little thin. This was completely incompatible with the capable and arrogant lady in Yi Ming's memory.

At this moment, Marian was like a critically ill patient. Belloga sat beside her. Seeing Yiming and Meallie back, she hurriedly stood up with a hurried expression of peace on her face.

(Let me see her body.)

Mealie hurriedly walked forward, grabbed Marien's hand, and then her expression changed slightly, and she looked up at the room in front of her.

(Yiming, something is not good.)

"Not good?"

(Malian's body... has some signs of failure of internal organs.)

"Wait, what you mean is..."

Yi Ming's expression changed.

(She seems to have taken the powder of magic flowers.)

"How is this possible?"

Bingyu widened his eyes in surprise while Yi Ming turned around and stared at her seriously.

"Ice Fish, how did you deal with the magic pollen you confiscated?"

"I promise that all of them will never be lost, and sister Marian never asked me for these powders."

"Please don't blame Miss Icefish."

At this moment, Marien's voice came from the hospital bed. Looking at the two people in front of her, she smiled weakly.

"Welcome to the two back, Lord Yiming and Lord Mayalie."

"Now isn't the time to talk about these things. Where did you get magic pollen?"

Yiming frowned and walked to Marien. He knew very well what kind of person Marien was, although he was a little arrogant, but not

Then, she was quite clean. The matters that Yiming gave her to handle were never secretly taken into her pocket. In addition to being a little stubborn about class differentiation, Marian was considered a very excellent and very sensible woman. This is also why Yiming gave Azus City to her to manage. Therefore, when she learned that Marien actually used magic pollen, Yiming's first feeling was ridiculous.

"Of course it's from the Detroit family..."

However, unlike what Iming expected, Marien not only did not regret at all, but also showed a proud smile.

"Thanks to this, I finally got the evidence you want."

As he said that, Marian slowly turned around and took out a piece of paper from the dark crack beside the bed - it recorded the detailed data on purchasing magical flower powder and the seal of the Detroit family.

"You can actually get this?"

Yi Ming was quite surprised. He was very clear about how difficult it was to get a piece of evidence from the Detroit family, who could not even catch a little tail and could only rely on heavy pressure to force him to reveal his legs.

"After all, I'm still a woman, and many men like to control women, especially those who have high power."

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Mary's face.

"He thought that if he controlled me with magic pollen, he could use my identity and status to help them do everything they wanted... But unfortunately, although this pollen is very domineering, I am an intern and praise commander after all, how could I be controlled by this pollen so easily..."

“………………………………………”

Facing Marien's answer, Yiming remained silent, and Xiya had already brought deep respect to the look of looking at Marien.

"You are really………………”

Facing Marien's smug smile, she was angry, not angry, nor was she really messed up, and she actually took her own body to take risks! But in the end she didn't say anything, made a gesture to Mealee, then shook her head and took the others out of the room.

(Miss Marian, why do you do this?)

It was not until the room calmed down again that Mealie stared at Marien and asked. Marien stood a little and lowered her head.

"Because this is the most convenient and fast way..."

(You are lying.)

Mayalie mercilessly exposed Marien's lies.

(This is not your style. What happened? Yi Ming and I are very clear that it is too dangerous. You should never take such a big risk with your life. For such a small piece of evidence, you would have been more cautious and calm in the past. Instead of using such a risky plan, isn't it?)

Facing Mealie's inquiry, Marien lowered her head and said slowly after a moment of silence.

“………………………………………………I met my cousin.”

(………………Cousin?)

"Yes, it was the Detroit family that I saw. He had lost his mind and turned into a monster... But they said that they had a way to make my brother go back to his original appearance. Although I knew that my brother could no longer change back to his original appearance, I still agreed to their conditions. As long as they took magic pollen regularly and helped them cover up some of the transactions, they would turn my brother back. Of course I don't believe this kind of stupid thing, but since there is such a good opportunity to get evidence, I will never let it go. Of course, when I strongly asked them to stamp the Detroit family stamp on this document, they had been pregnant. But it seems that the power of their trust in that powder is far beyond their arms. I believe that as long as they control me with the powder, these things can be regarded as invalid..."

(Why do you need to do this?)

Instead of continuing to ask, Meallie sat next to Marian and gently stroked her hair.

However, Marien's answer made her stunned.

"I know, how they got my cousin."

Marien lowered her head, and her voice revealed infinite sadness.

"I know very well that after committing treason, even if my tribe has been executed, those side tribes who have no direct relationship will be demoted to slaves... I know very well that this is the law of the empire. But... when I saw him, although he had lost his mind, he still recognized me. At that time, he asked me through the cage, 'Why am I still alive, why am I not dead.'... I don't know how to answer. Why, as Brad's daughter, was not executed. And those who had nothing to do with rebellion were demoted to slaves and suffered the pain they should not have suffered! This should be my responsibility, this should be the punishment I received, not them!"

Marian hugged Mealie tightly and cried in a low voice.

"I know, actually I always know the fate of those children. I just pretended to be invisible. As long as I couldn't see it, I would force myself to forget. It was my stupidity and father's paranoia that destroyed their family. I pretended to be strong on the surface, but in fact I just wanted to escape. I just wanted to do my job well to escape this reality. But maybe this is punishment. In any case, I should still be punished."

(You are tired...rest, and, I don't think, that should be your sin.)
