Yiming turned the letter in his hand with awkward and spooky expression. Then he was very angry, "He looked up at Marien.

“Maryan, to be honest, I’m very happy that you can come back safely.

But if you don’t bring such a depressing thing every time you come back, I’ll be even happier.”

"This is not a choice I can make, Lord Yiming.

Marien smiled slightly.

"As the letter said, the previous marriage was the result of the royal family's arbitrary behavior and it was not reviewed by the Council. However, this was carried out through diplomatic channels. The other party was the Sharon royal family, so we could not clap our hands and say sorry, it could be resolved without our relationship.

Regardless of the personal wishes of His Royal Highness, our princess, alone, it is impossible for the Council to agree to this marriage because of the obvious political tendency to marry her to Sharon.

"So just look for me?"

Yi Ming's face was strange.

"There are so many men in the world who want to find me?"

"That's right."

Marien nodded.

"Because only you have the status of a charity that can compete with the Sharon royal family, and, in the opinion of the Council, it is also a good marriage.

"You didn't seem to think about Alinoa's own thoughts."

Yi Ming frowned and asked the question.

Marian chuckled in response to this, as if he had heard some funny jokes. Mayalie looked at her helplessly, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"My answer to your question is the same as before. Regardless of the personal wishes of His Royal Highness, the Council decided this way. Lord Yiming, I have been in a relationship with you for a long time. I can understand what people who have gained glory and wealth through their own strength think, but we are different, for us noble women. Sometimes we are just a tool, a tool to enhance the favor and connection between the two parties. I listen from Lita

After talking about some things about you, it is obvious that you have suffered a lot. But you may not have thought about it, what about us? What about us? Women who are born to wear beautiful clothes, have an unattainable position, and have considerable wealth and power? Can we really choose everything we want, and after enjoying peace, happiness, and a stable childhood life, and after becoming a person, can we find a prince in our minds to marry? I once talked about something with Lord Mayali, and Lord Mayali once said a word "Balance", I think

This just happens to represent our situation. We have received enough happiness, so we have to pay enough price. If our husbands need it, we will sleep with other nobles to get their support and help. Of course, under the rule of the Council, the chances of such a thing as Leah is born is very small. After all, most noble wives are orthodox magicians. They have noble identities and strengths. But for women who live as nobles first, instead of wizards, politics is early

We were deeply imbued into our blood before we were born. Perhaps for ordinary women, we are pitiful and willing to be humble. "Just as I tried to do to you in the first place to pray for my father's survival. But for us, this is the price we should pay for granted. Our bodies do not represent the root of purity and beauty, but the weight of interests. Our princess cannot not understand this truth. Or, because she is a princess, she understands this truth better than us."

Yiming stared at Marien with a complex look. He admitted that he had never considered this issue from this aspect. In terms of the concept of men and women, Yiming still followed his principles and looked at it from the perspective of the original world. He tried his best to keep a distance from the girls. At the same time, he had a deep friendship with them. However, Yiming also admitted that in the original world, there is still some truth in this sentence. Unless it is like Stefair, who likes women and likes men, the so-called "real friends" is just a cover.

It is precisely because of this that Yiming has a lot of time, wandering around outside Azus City, or when he is in Azus City. He is always with Mealli and Icefish. Sometimes he also includes Ani. He intentionally or unintentionally minimizes contact with other women around him, and hopes that they can find a good home. But it turns out that Yiming is thinking too simply, and he may be an expert in matters such as spying and murder. But he is not familiar with politics itself.

"In the empire, this kind of thing is rare. But Lord Yiming, if you are willing to go to other countries, such as Fieldney or Sharon's upper class for a while, then you will find that the nobles are very happy and even expect you to enjoy their wives or daughters. Because for them, there is no sense of this kind of political marriage, and the status of the young ladies and their ladies are the result of the efforts of those nobles. Therefore, they naturally have to pay the price. Of course, you don't have to worry about Miss Mayali, the nobles respect those who have the strength to climb up, so they will not be stupid enough to make such requests."

Yi Ming remained silent, looking at the letter in his hand over and over, feeling that it was extremely heavy.

"If I refuse"

"The Council will marry His Highness to Xia Long, but they will announce that our Highness Gongfeng, who is the relationship with Youxinya, is a relationship with Youxinya. Mao※In fact, even if she still has the status of a princess, it has nothing to do with her. Anyway, most of the princesses will be taken to be entertained by their husbands. I once encountered similar things when I went on a mission to other countries with my father. At that time, a prince gave him his wife, the princess of another country, to show his friendly relationship with Youlia.

Even if we say this a little vulgar, we are just high-end old girls, and we don’t charge any money.”

Speaking of this, Marien seemed relieved.

"This is why many noble women in Yeya learn magic and knowledge. Indeed, we have various goals. But first, our expectation is not to be married. Under the rule of the Council, this kind of thing is rare. But after leaving Yudaiya, the Council is no longer the final decision. By that time, the only thing we can face is that order. Therefore, we desperately learn various knowledge, prove to the Council and the Empire that we are useful talents, so that we will not be regarded as pawns that can be used to connect with political marriages. Although we are indeed aware of our destiny, we are honestly "no one will not be afraid of this destiny."

(Isn't there anyone who can love you?") "Love? Miss Meyer, to be honest, this word is very luxurious to us. Our noble women seem to be glorious, but they are actually very fragile. In fact, even if the nobles in political marriages really love us, they cannot escape the pressure in the entire noble circle. Just imagine, if a nobleman gives his wife to my husband to play with, shouldn't he give the same reward? Once he refuses or gives an unequal reward, then the noble family will be excluded and decline. For ordinary people, this is evidence of the nobles, but for the nobles, it is just like we drink tea and chat, and it is just a means to enhance feelings. And the noble system within Leah is finally cleaner than outside due to the existence of the Council."

Speaking of this, Marien looked at Yiming with a mocking smile.

"To be honest, if I were Elinoa, then I would drug your tea now. Then I took off my hair and waited for your arrival in bed. At least, it was much better than becoming a toy for the nobles after getting married."

"I feel like you seem to be forcing me to make this decision."

Yiming smiled bitterly and threw the letter into the fire. Looking at Mealli and Marian. He was sure that with Marialian's cautious personality, he must have communicated with Mealli first. After all, he also knew the relationship between them very well, and Marialian could be said to have watched him and Mealli come to this point today. If Lita was too young and did not understand these things, then Marialian should be very clear about Yiming's own silent reminder and Mealli's position in his heart.

"After all, we can't break up with Sharon. Now Fieldney has a bad relationship with us. If we break up with Sharon again, Marian suddenly stopped. She frowned, as if something had appeared.

"(What's wrong?) Mayalie asked curiously.

"It is impossible for Xia Long to break up with us. Think about it carefully, that's right, the prince has no inheritance rights. Unless the coup succeeds, he will only be a prince in the future. Moreover, everyone knows that our relationship with Fieldney is very bad recently. Xia Longba cannot use this opportunity to win us over. In addition, we have enough reason to regret the marriage and give them a step. "If the Council still wants to maintain its status, it seems unlikely. After all, the dispute between you adults and the royal family was almost known to everyone. Therefore, it is natural to regret the marriage, but why the Council uses this condition?"

Hearing this, Yiming and Meiyaxin also frowned. They had no problem with it, if it weren't for Marien.

However, Yi Ming soon bent down and picked up the "something" lying beside him and placed it on the table.

"Wow?"

Aini raised her head and looked at Yi Ming curiously, as if waiting for his explanation.

"Tell me, Ainie, what are you thinking about?"

Yiming looked at Aini with a smile, but Aini half closed her eyes, touching her hands and feet in a mess trying to find a new safe haven to continue to fall into her sleep.

However, unfortunately, Yiming stopped her efforts, which made Aini gasp with some dissatisfaction.

"Tell me, Ainie."

Yi Ming gently patted Aini's little head. He had already seen it. Although the kitten ate all day long, she slept and ate all day long, her intelligence was definitely not inferior to anyone. She might even be smarter than all of them.

"What is the Council thinking? Do you threaten me with such a condition that is meaningless?"

Aini had no choice but to shake her head helplessly and open her eyes, but her face was already a little blushing.

"Anie thinks Ephinia may hope that Elinoa has a baby."
