"Understandable!" Liv nodded and suddenly asked, "Do you think I am a violent murderer?"
"You may have a problem!"
Downton wanted to roll his eyes. No matter how stupid he was, he would never say yes.
"Imperial power and the nobility are naturally opposed to each other. Saint Laurent is a country where theocracy is supreme. If I were no longer ruthless, no one would respect the imperial power."
Liv laughed sarcastically. In this world, people's desires are endless. No one will feel that their rights are enough. Even the priests in the Holy See who claim to have no desires are also desperately pursuing them.
right.
With the erosion of divine power, the royal family's control over Saint Laurent became less and less, so the queen took the opportunity of losing her daughter to launch a purge.
Most of the nobles thought that the queen was crazy. Only some thoughtful dignitaries could notice that the imperial power was being consolidated and exaggerated. Then they suddenly realized that Liv was using this excuse to consolidate the royal power.
His Majesty the King and the Queen were childhood sweethearts. Everyone thought the King was soft-hearted and condoned the Queen's atrocities. However, it was not until a few years later that they understood that this was just an act.
If the plan fails, the king only needs to kill Liv to stabilize the people's hearts. However, it seems that Liv has completely controlled the situation with her strong and bloody political skills.
"don't know!"
Downton shrugged his shoulders. Andrea had a good relationship with him. Otherwise, the divine power would definitely erode Frankfurt.
"Haha, you don't understand? Then Frankfurt's economic growth will not be unparalleled in the north. Don't tell me, the woman you support the Guise family has no other ideas."
Liv snorted coldly. As the leader of an empire, when it comes to governing experience, none of the hundred Downtons can be her match.
"Okay, I admit it!" Downton spread his hands, "It's a third-rate country. You won't see it, right?"
"Of course!" Liv persuaded, "Elaine is my biological daughter. I naturally want her to be happy. I can see that she loves you very much, so I hope you will come to Saint Laurent to help me. Don't worry, I said it before
Of the five major cities, you can pick any two as fiefs!"
Downton shook his head.
"Three?" Liv added. "You don't want five, do you?"
"Queen, you probably don't know Frankfurt's tax revenue this year, right? Not to mention the free trade zone in the western region, where the volcanic oats are grown and harvested, it brought me 20 billion in taxes!"
Downton didn't bother to hide it. After all, with the professional talents of the nine empires, it would be easy to collect this data, let alone commercial spies.
Liv was shocked. This number is definitely the best among third-rate countries. No wonder Downton can stabilize Samosai so quickly. This economic strength is the foundation. Besides, being the king of a country is better than being a city lord.
Freedom. At least in Frankfurt, Downton is the supreme king, and his words will be carried out unconditionally.
"I hope Elaine is happy too!"
Downton sighed. He thought Liv wanted him to break off the relationship with Elaine. Now it seems that he was overthinking it.
"Actually, there is a high possibility that I am your aunt!"
Liv hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Downton, and then a sudden sentence made him stunned.
"ah?"
Downton was stunned and instinctively felt that Liv was lying to him.
"I asked Elaine, is this ring a relic of your mother?"
Liv looked at Downton's left hand, and there was a simple-looking ring on the middle finger.
"Um!"
Downton nodded. He had already shown it to Homer. It was just an ordinary ring without any magical effects.
"This ring represents the royal status of Britannia. Owning it means that you are a child of the royal family." Liv looked at Downton and smiled, "Or maybe your mother stole it?"
"My mother is not a thief!"
Downton immediately retorted, with a ferocious expression on his face.
"Don't get me wrong, that means you are probably a prince."
Liv motioned to Downton to calm down.
"What does that have to do with you being my aunt?"
Downton frowned.
"You have a soul fruit, which is the holy flame of heaven. You probably don't know that it is the blood of the previous generation of saints. The holy flame burns and conquers heaven, but it is her unique symbol!"
Liv explained.
"Wow, Downton is actually the son of a saint. That makes sense. No wonder he became a Templar without receiving any priesthood training, because his blood has been fused with the goddess's grace!"
The cheap god was suddenly delayed.
"One of the eight holy coffins, Lorraine Sasha, is called the Miracle Saint, and she has also brought miracles to the motherland. Since her death, every saint has been born in Saint Laurent, and before the death of each generation of saints,
Everyone will be aware of the general direction and location of the birth of the next generation of saints. Relying on this miracle, the royal family can always be the first to find the saint, adopt her, and let her serve the royal family."
Liv begins to tell the secret.
"Until the last saint died suddenly at the age of twenty-seven, she left no information, so the royal family was unable to find a new saint."
"The Pope found the Holy Lily?"
Downton asked.
"Yes!"
Liv sighed, "Without the saint who fights against the Holy See, the royal family's influence is even weaker, so I will vigorously purge those nobles who are leaning towards the Holy See and make those centrists remain as neutral as possible."
"I see!"
Downton nodded, "I heard the bard say in the tavern that the previous generation of saints died suddenly because they were plotted by the evil god's subordinates while conquering the secret realm?"
"No, it was actually the Holy See and the nine empires who coincided with each other and sent people to do it!"
Liv's revelation shocked Downton, "What?"
"She fell in love with your father, the current king of Britannia. At that time, the nine empires were in a powder keg period, and absolutely no accidents were allowed to happen, so these two were likely to cause the outbreak of war.
The big shot who took the continent by storm was assassinated!"
Liv looked at Downton and felt that when this kid was deep in thought, his face was really handsome, and he felt an aura of knowledge and wisdom coming to his face.
"Why would the Brittanian royal family take action?"
Downton was puzzled.
"You are stupid. There are many factions in a country. Just like Saint Laurent, there are also the Royal Faction, the Saint Faction, and the Saint Faction. Some people want to kill the Saint just because she blocks the way!"
Let alone killing a woman, it is patricide. Homer has seen too much. Supreme power is always the soil that breeds conspiracy and death.
"Do you know why your father is called the most incompetent king in the history of Britannia? It's because the saint's wife died. He was so disheartened that he stopped ruling in anger. He stayed in brothels all day long.
Tavern, so the Dragon Queen will be in power. Although I have the title of Blood Queen, the people killed by that Queen pale into insignificance."
Liv sneered.
"He is not my father."
Downton argued.
"You don't have to rush to refuse. Any royal family has a way to identify the bloodline of their descendants. As long as you go to London, you will know the truth."
Liv sighed, "Your mother has lived in that palace since she was a child. I still remember the scene when she fell from the peach tree and cried."
I remember back then, Liv and the Saint were best friends, but it was a pity that fate played a trick on us.
"When the saint is adopted, she is the king's sworn sister, so he is your uncle." Cheap God teased. "Congratulations, your backstage is a little tougher."
"Do you still have a sense of public morality? Are you even joking about such a thing?"
Homer wanted to beat the cheap god.
"You still refuse to call me aunt? Do you think I'm taking advantage of you? I'm a legend. If danger arises during a duel, I can stop it at any time."
Liv explained that this sentence is true. With the ability of the legendary strongman, once the domain is opened, even the marshal will have to kneel.
Downton was silent.
"Besides, I think you can see that Elaine loves you very much. If I do something to hurt you, she will never forgive me in this life!"
Liv sighed. After collecting information about Downton and Elaine when they were young, she understood why her daughter was so attached to this brother. It could be said that he gave her the happiest childhood and gave her everything.
Downton has outstanding talent, which can be seen from the fact that he was promoted to the peak of the seventh level of the scepter in only six years, but for Elaine, he wasted a full fourteen years. You know, this is magic power
The most important era for the author to lay the foundation.
Fortunately, Downton was lucky enough, otherwise, no matter how talented he was, he would have stopped at being a marshal.
Sometimes, Liv also thinks that if Downton had lived in the royal family of Brittany and received the best education, his current achievements would probably be the same as Heinrich's, or even better!
Downton's thoughts were confused. In fact, he understood that that ordinary peasant woman could not be his mother. Apart from blood, he also vaguely remembered that his mother also mentioned princes and saints. At that time, he thought it was a fairy tale.
Thinking about it now, that should be his parents' experience, but it was too difficult for him to accept it all.
"If you want to take revenge and regain the throne, you need a solid foundation. Having just one Princess Sissi is not enough, and I, my aunt, will support you unconditionally."
Liv suggested.
"I do not want!"
Downton obviously didn't mean what he said.
"One more proposal, I hope you marry Elaine!"
Before Liv could finish her words, Downton refused.
"No way, she is my sister!"
Downton was startled.
"Listen to what I'm saying, you probably haven't noticed that Elaine treats you with admiration, attachment, and affection like a father and brother. But beneath this, there is also a trace of love. You married Elaine, and that's why she is like this
The greatest happiness in my life!"
Liv wants to give her daughter the best, and a man who can be favored by Princess Sissi is certainly not bad.
"Haha, stop joking!" Downton laughed dryly, "You just said you were my aunt, so Elaine and I are cousins!"
"Silly boy, not related by blood? What are you afraid of?"
Liv rolled her eyes. This look was so charming that Downton's heart skipped a beat and his heart felt hot. (To be continued...)
