Margarita's appearance does look a bit older. She wears a pair of red half-rimmed glasses, her long dark brown hair is rolled up and fixed with hairpins, and she wears a dark black robe and dark green
Wearing a floor-length skirt, Margarita seems to have more wrinkles on her face than a few years ago. forehead lines, crow's feet and nasolabial folds have all appeared on her face. The only thing that remains unchanged is her deep gaze and
With a calm expression: "Tell me, my disciple."
The mentor when she was young was also a great beauty, Veronica thought with some complicated thoughts.
"Since the establishment of the Gloria Council, our original intention has been to protect the interests of magic, maintain the survival of magic, and promote the power of magic." Veronica naturally knew the standard answer, and she said softly: "As for the ultimate goal, then
It is to establish a country completely controlled by wizards, our own wizard empire."
"Standard answer." Margarita nodded, and the female speaker shook her head: "Then, Veronica, have you deviated from the original intention and ultimate goal of establishing the Gloria Council?
Path!? Can I regard what you did as a kind of betrayal!"
"No." Veronica was also very calm. She shook her head: "The ultimate goal is not inconsistent with what I am doing now. Mentor, we must be down-to-earth. The best choice at the moment is for me to go out independently and become Ryan's
vassal."
"Subsidiary is not a good way to build a wizarding empire, Veronica." Margarita said with a little sarcasm and playfulness on her face: "You are willing to become a vassal of your Majesty Ryan, and be willing to be his chief female courtier.
?Not even Madam?”
"What am I going to argue with Mrs. Sulia? Behind her are the great nobles of the entire Knight Kingdom. Even Ryan's status as a contender for the throne and the right to claim the title of Duke of Mousilon came from Sulia.
How can I compete with Mrs. Ya's marriage?" Veronica complained a little bit in her tone: "It's good to be able to do this, at least Mrs. Sulia didn't kick me out."
"Really? Tell me, Veronica, are you willing to do this? Do you think you will be satisfied like this?" Margarita was still very calm, even to the point of being prim and serious: "Being a vassal? Royal
Chief female courtier? What about our target?”
"It's just the highest goal." Veronica was a little unsure of what Margarita wanted to say, so she simply made it clear: "If we look at the highest goal alone, our Majesty Katalin has already achieved it.
She already has a country of her own, and in a narrow sense, mentor, you have not become the chief wizard of the imperial royal family, but I have become the chief female courtier."
"Ha~ you are still so sharp." Margarita sneered and nodded slowly: "It's good to know how much ability you have and how many things you can do. Yes, as you said, building a wizard
The empire is just our highest goal. What does highest mean? Just
It is the ultimate and most ambitious goal, but we all know in our hearts that the real model of our Gloria Witches is actually to mass-produce female courtiers, marry into those noble lords, serve as mentors and magic advisors, and even criticize
To expand our influence."
"Yes, I have thought about it many times. With this model of our Gloria Council, it is impossible to establish an independent country." Veronica nodded, and the Gloria Witch was a little strange: "Mentor, since you know so well, why do you still
Want to ask me?"
"Because I'm afraid you don't know clearly." Margarita narrowed her eyes: "I know you, my disciple, you are competitive, never admit defeat, and always want to be first. Over the years, you have suppressed
You have many opponents, including Teresa, and even Aurora and Carolina. I am just worried that you don’t know how to advance or retreat, and don’t know how to move.
Inch, can you, a holy witch, control a man like Ryan? He is so outstanding and dazzling. In twenty years, from knight to king, there are still not many women attracted to him? I am just afraid
, if you don’t understand like that little wild cat who was protecting the food, sooner or later Ryan will kick you out!”
"He won't. I believe Ryan, he won't do that kind of thing." Veronica retorted subconsciously, and the Witch of Gloria shook her head repeatedly: "There is no way he can drive me out of his palace."
"That's right, Ryan will not kick you out of his palace. After all, you are his first woman, but he can cancel your status as chief female courtier and cancel your status as a vassal. He will arrange you in his palace.
Warming his bed inside, this is not a clean-out. Guess if one day you lose power, will Ryan deal with you like this?" Margarita sneered.
Said: "Don't you understand why I didn't become the chief female courtier for His Majesty Ludwig but came out to establish the Garland Council? Let me tell you, firstly, no man is good and unreliable, and secondly
As a ruler, ruthlessness is the most important quality, and sometimes, it is not up to him to decide how to deal with you."
Veronica's face became ugly. Although the Witch of Gloria was unwilling to admit it in her heart, she knew that Margarita was not wrong. If she really lost power, Ryan would definitely not kill her or exile her.
But it is very possible to lock her up and turn her into a canary in a cage!
"Teacher, what do you mean..." Veronica decided to listen carefully to Margarita's words.
"What I mean? What I mean is that the ultimate goal of our Glory Council is to establish a wizarding empire. This thing can be used to shout slogans, and it can be used to inspire the enthusiasm and enterprising spirit of those witch apprentices, but it can
Don't take it seriously. You will be the leader of the branch soon. You must be clear about your position. That is, who do you think Ryan is? What use are you to him? What can you help him? You must
Think about these issues clearly, otherwise you will have conflicts with him sooner or later in the future."
"I understand." Veronica quickly lowered her head. Margarita knew that she had indeed listened. The female speaker actually knew very well that Veronica was a woman who was very measured and knew how to manage interpersonal relationships. Her appearance and talent were also
They are all top-notch. Generally speaking, this kind of woman does not need to be reminded very much, but Margarita still feels it is necessary, because Veronica's status is different now. After she went to Britannia, she no longer needs to be reminded.
Just like before, I was covering her in the parliament, and there was someone to supervise and guide her.
So she would like to emphasize again: "Appearance and appearance are your advantages, but you can't rely on them forever. A truly outstanding man will never lack women around him. You must show your own characteristics and your uniqueness to win."
Capture his heart."
"I understand, mentor, thank you for your guidance." Veronica nodded solemnly.
"You are not abstaining from voting this afternoon. Our vote has been decided. Aurora will be expelled from the Presbyterian Church. She has one month to pack her things and leave Sky Castle with her people. Veronica, do you think,
Are we victorious?" Margarita smiled, and the way she smiled seemed to make the wrinkles on her face deeper, but in an instant
Veronica could see how charming her mentor was when he was young. Witch of Gloria lowered her head and said proudly: "Mentor, that has been your old rival for decades.
, I still remember how she opposed you in every possible way and used her privileges to oppress me. Isn’t this great? "
"Ah? Oh! I see, you still hold grudges about what happened back then? For example, Aurora asked her daughter Teresa to come and compete with you for a man? And when Aurora deliberately suppressed you?" Marge
There was no smile on Rita's face. She just shook her head: "Do you really think it's a good thing that Aurora was expelled from the parliament?"
Before Veronica could answer, Margarita continued: "The empire has a vast territory and a large population. As we all know, the northern part of the empire has poor products. The black forest almost covers most of the area. There are many beastmen.
and the greenskin tribe are wreaking havoc in the Black Forest."
"In contrast, the southern part of the empire is rich in products, has many rivers, fertile fields, and has a prosperous economy. It also faces smaller threats."
"But there are a large number of humans living in the north of the empire. They are brave and fierce, like close combat, and worship the white wolf god Yurik and the god of nature Tal. Similarly, there are also a large number of humans living in the south of the empire. They prefer discipline and academics.
, mostly worship the God of Justice and the Goddess of War. Although they are not incompetent in melee combat, they prefer various long-range weapons and combined with magic to fight against the enemy."
"The empire cannot give up large tracts of territory in the north just because the north has poor products and likes close combat. Similarly, the empire cannot overly rely on the northern army because the north is the front line facing chaos." Margarita said coldly: "Since ancient times,
It has always been like this. An organization must know how to balance, so does Ryan, and so should you."
"If the North loses control, it must be cleaned up. This is why Aurora will be expelled from the parliament. Similarly, if the South becomes too powerful, it must be cleaned up! This is why I want you to take people out to establish a branch.
!" Margarita's voice became more serious, and she stared at Veronica: "You think this is our victory? No, this is not my victory, nor Aurora's, nor yours! Yours
It means that it is clear that the Gloria Council abandoned the north and focused on the south!"
"Mentor!" Veronica swallowed, and Witch of Gloria suddenly realized what Margarita was talking about.
"Aurora was invited by me to join the Gloria Council in the first place! The goal was to give me an opponent and give my people a target. Otherwise, they would set their sights on me.
"Margarita was still talking, with hellfire burning in her deep eyes: "But now, this balance has been broken, so Aurora will be expelled, and you must also leave the parliament!"
"..." Veronica's face gradually turned pale. She looked at Margarita as if she was meeting her mentor for the first time today. Her long legs wrapped in flesh-colored ultra-thin jacquard pantyhose couldn't stop moving.
Trembling, Witch of Gloria suddenly felt that all her thoughts were invisible in front of her mentor.
"Furthermore, once the balance is broken and one side becomes stronger and completely dominates the situation, it means that there are no opponents and no supervision. Look at Kislev, look at Her Majesty Katalin, she and her Ice Witch Sisterhood
They control the entire kingdom, but what has become of the kingdom in their hands? Whether wizards can manage a kingdom well, the ancient wizard empire, and now Kislev, have given us the best answer."
"Whether Ryan or Ludwig, they are both excellent leaders, and they are also ruthless people. They will allow us to occupy a place in his court, and will allow us to become very important people to them.
But Veronica, you must know that they will not only use southerners and abandon northerners, they will give us an advantage.
, but never try to completely defeat your opponent to show that we are the only one, otherwise it will be like a flood covering the top of the mountain." Margarita stared at Veronica closely, her voice became dry and torn.
: "Don't make my mistake, that's how I lost to Lord Teclis! Finally, I was forced to leave his court and establish the Gloria Council!"
"This is what I will teach you today. Unless Ryan personally instructs you, don't try to drive Teresa or Aurora out of Ryan's court like in the parliament. If you really dare to do this, you will eventually change from the chief female courtier to a warm one.
