Transcendent Noble

"Dear Ariel, please try the candied fruit. This is green cherry fruit pickled with honey. I remember that green cherry fruit is your favorite."

In the reception room of the Marquis Mansion, Sophia was entertaining the court lady Ariel affectionately.

The court lady is actually the king’s personal maid. As the chief court lady, Ariel countess has to admit that Sophia’s beauty makes her jealous, especially the purple eyes, like two pure eyes The flawless amethyst makes people fall into gentle eyes.

"Sophia, I really don’t know what kind of man can resist your charm. At the tea party yesterday, His Royal Highness Andre’s maintenance of you has convinced everyone that Lord Golden Knight has fallen to you. My skirt is down." Ariel sighed, like ridicule, jealous, and compliment.

Sophia put a candied fruit into her mouth, and tasted the taste of Earth Grade. After a while, said with a smile: "I hope this is true. Unfortunately, Andre is here to pursue Lora Princess, not come to me."

"Are you not lovers yet?" Ariel stared into Sophia's eyes and asked.

Sophia lightly said with a smile: "Of course not! Dear Ariel, maybe you don’t know Golden Knight... They all have a strong will, and beauty is for them It's just an adjustment. What they value is the strength and wisdom of their partners, and the same Life Level. Andre will not find a lover in Gambis, otherwise it will humiliate His Royal Highness Lora and himself."

Ariel's eyes were disappointed that could not be concealed, which was completely different from what she had expected.

"That is, in the past half a year, you have made no progress?"

The tone of the court lady's questioning did not make Sophia appear any strange. She pursed her mouth to say with a smile: "How could there be no progress? Andre has invited me to visit Borui Kingdom and promised to help me fight for the right to operate gin. I believe it will not be long before we can open up a path to Borui. A new business route in the United Kingdom."

Sophia was a little proud and hopeful. Facing an unmarried Golden Knight, all the noble ladies desperately showed their beauty and elegance, but in the end, what did they do? I didn't get it either. And Sophia quietly won the favor of Golden Knight and an opportunity to open up a business route. Sophia believes that she can get the most benefit from it, and she always seizes opportunities.

A new business route, the right to operate gin, a Golden Knight lover, and a noble son of bloodline... Thinking of this, Sophia's eyes flowed, her charming style Countess Ariel was stunned for a while.

"Sophia, it seems that Your Excellency Andre still has affection for you...Why can't you keep him?" Ariel lowered his eyes and said softly.

Sophia smiled and said resolutely: "Is this the meaning of Queen Your Majesty?"

"Sophia, our situation is very difficult, Marquis Goron said, if Lora does not intend For the throne, he will choose to support Grand Duke Williams. Therefore, we can only turn the situation around if we win over His Royal Highness Andre."

Seeing Sophia did not say anything, Ariel continued: "Velpin Baron wrote to say that little Victor has already He completely betrayed us, his coffee and snow sugar are not handed over to you, he also killed a steward of the Velpin family. Apart from this, he invented the purple cane liquor comparable to gin, and put purple cane The wine franchise is fully handed over to the York family, and their franchise agreement has been notarized before God...Your Majesty thinks you must make a decision early."

Sophia stood up and lightly said with a smile: "How to decide? Let me be a widow again? Or does Your Majesty think Andre will like a woman with a vicious nature? Even if Andre marries me, my Chamber of Commerce will collapse... The business family with Golden Knight is no longer a business aristocracy. Doesn’t Queen Your Majesty know this truth?"

"Moreover, Your Majesty’s worries are unnecessary. Marquis Goron is loyal to His Royal Highness Lora. As long as His Royal Highness Lora supports Prince Edward, Duke Williams will have no chance."

Ariel is speechless. Of course she understands that the business aristocracy is able to reach in all directions not by martial power, but harmlessness. . But Queen Your Majesty's meaning must be conveyed clearly.

"Your Majesty only asks if you agree or not? Others will naturally be arranged."

"I can't agree."

Ariel I suffocated my heart, and after a while, I said in a bitter voice: "Sophia, Your Majesty asked me to tell you that everything she can give you can be deprived of it."

Sophia's beautiful face was smiling. , The first jaw said: "I understand this, please tell Catherine Your Majesty, as long as I don't take away my Chamber of Commerce and title, everything else will not change."

*** ***************

After Queen Ariel left, Sophia sat quietly on the ivory chair. Not long after, an elderly woman walked into the reception room and saw that Sophia was unhappy, she asked worriedly: "Sophia, are you okay?"

Sophia turned her eyes to said with a smile: "Aunt Helen, I’m fine."

Helen is Sophia’s steward, not Knight, and no noble bloodline, but an ordinary person. Sophia trusts Helen very much, because Helen is taking care of her through childhood.

"Miss, what is the queen doing?" Helen asked worriedly.

"Catherine? She was showing me a showdown. She thought that I was able to master the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce with her support. So Chamber of Commerce belongs to her, and I belong to her.. ...Unfortunately, Catherine's reaction was too slow." Sophia giggled.

Seeing Sophia's tricky appearance, Helen also sighed in relief, and then said: "Will the queen make a fuss about Victor, should we send some people to protect him?"

Sophia shook his head: "Our hands are too loose, and it is not safe to send out...If Sylvia can't protect Victor, it's useless for us to send someone."

Speaking, she said with a smile again: "Didn't expect that my little husband is also valuable...Sylvia is even more reluctant to let him have an accident."

Helen nodded agreed. The Chamber of Commerce has a loose organization and complex staff, unlike the York family, which is not as tight as an iron plate. Moreover, Sophia has only been in control of the Chamber of Commerce for a short time, and it is inevitable that the Chamber of Commerce will not be infiltrated by others. It is better to rely on the capabilities of the York family because of its help.

Sophia stood up, cut her slender fingers along the purple dress, and the valuable spider silk dress immediately broke from the middle, turned her head and asked: "Aunt Helen, is the corridor of thorns ready?" "

"Miss, it's ready." Helen bowed and replied.

Sophia walked into a secret room with a smile on her face and a modified skirt. The floor of the secret room was covered with thorns with sharp thorns. Sophia kicked off the crystal shoes and stepped on the thorns with bare feet. The delicate jade foot, snow-white and delicate, stepped on the black thorns full of thorns, forming a strong contrast and leaving a poignant impression.

Helen watched this scene with emotion and pity. Who would have thought how much blood the beautiful Wimbledon marquess once shed on this thorny strip.

Sophia was born in a run-down noble family in Suse Kingdom. She is the youngest girl in the family, as well as a big brother and an elder sister. The young Sophia was not valued by the family. At that time, she had brown hair, brown eyes, and a plain appearance. Her mother rejected her because of this.

Sophia was seriously ill when she was six years old. In order to provide her eldest son with resources for cultivation Battle Qi, her parents did not spend money to ask the priest to perform the divine technique. After Sophia recovered from the illness, she was left with a serious repercussions, half of the body is rickets. The daughter's disability did not awaken the love and compassion of her parents, but instead hated her even more.

Three years later, Sophia's big brother successfully inspired Battle Qi and became a trainee Knight. The whole family was delighted. Sophia is no exception. She mustered the courage to ask her brother for advice on how to heal her disability. His big brother told her in a mocking tone that he would become a healthy person by walking barefoot on the thorns every day.

Sophia believed. She ignored Helen's dissuasion and walked barefoot on the sharp thorns every day. Helen still clearly remembered the first time Sophia walked on the thorns, and the blood was dripping on the ground. Helen held Sophia in tears, and pulled the thorns from her tender feet. Sophia also burst into tears.

The thorns impossible to cure the disability, but it healed Sophia's mental disability. In another three years, Sophia independently inspired Battle Qi, and her body was finally being reborn. Except for Helen, no one knew that Sophia had become a trainee Knight. Her family only thought that this stupid daughter had recovered completely by herself.

Two years later, Sophia took Helen and left the family and became a wandering Knight. After several rounds, Sophia joined the Chamber of Commerce of the old Marquis of Wimbledon, during which she experienced many things and met Sylvia. Sophia, who was successfully promoted to Knight, began to bloom with amazing beauty. When Sophia stepped into the Silver Stage, her beauty and wisdom convinced the old Marquis of Wimbledon, and she has since become the mistress of the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce.

Now, the thorns on the thorns can no longer hurt Sophia at all, but whenever she needs to think and cultivation, she will still walk on these thorns.

Sophia walks on her long legs and walks on the thorns, while her hands are moving, the cyan-green brilliance is faintly visible. Battle Qi is running at high speed, the elements in the void converge between her fingers, a bright light flashes in Feiya's eyes, and her coquettish purple hair floats backwards, like a purple lotus in full bloom. Three green brilliance appeared, surrounded by her for a moment and then shot out, the brilliance turned from green to white, from virtual became real, and became three frosty crescent moons ten meters away, and then, the crescent moon one after another Shattered, a force of cold air spread quickly, followed by the second and the third. When the three cold air were superimposed on each other, the area of ​​20 meters square was completely frozen. The thorns on the ground were sealed in frost, forming an ice sculpture of thorns.

Battle Qi dissipated, and the white and tender feet were immediately pierced by the thorns, and the red blood oozes out, but Sophia is completely unaware, muttered: "I feel it...that is the element Hai."

"Miss!" Helen yelled distressedly when she saw the blood flowing from Sophia's feet.

Sophia turned her head and showed Helen a bright smile, a silver bell-like laughter echoing in the empty secret room.

——————————————————

Queen Catherine carefully cut out the delicate roses, flax-colored Her long hair is dangled casually, and there are crystal beads of sweat on the tip of her beautiful nose.

In appearance, Catherine and Lora are very similar. Except for their different hair colors, the two are like sisters, but Ariel knows that they are not related by blood.

When Lora was three years old, her mother passed away. King Ryan was in grief, and Lora was crying for her mother. A year later, Ryan married Catherine, who was only fifteen years old.

King Ryan married Catherine only because Catherine is very similar to Queen Irene, and Ryan wants to find a mother for his young daughter. Catherine did not complain about her identity as a substitute. She took care of Lora carefully and tenderly, both like a mother and an elder sister. Her efforts were rewarded. Lora has a very close relationship with her, and Ryan also loves her very much. With the birth of Edward, Catherine entered the happiest stage of her life until her husband died unfortunately.

Thinking of Ryan's death, Ariel felt a pain in her heart. Like Catherine, she loved this man deeply, even though Ryan never took her seriously.

Ariel does not hate Neowest who killed Ryan, Ryan died in the holy Knight duel is his home. Ariel hates Williams very much, and she thinks it is the Grand Duke's plot against Ryan.

"Your Majesty, why do you want to persecute Sophia, I think she is right, Andre will not marry a business nobleman... We should unite Sophia and deal with Williams together. Ariel couldn't help but advise Catherine.

Catherine cut a rose before saying, "Ariel, do you think Williams killed Ryan?"

"Isn't it?" Ai Riel raised his eyebrows, his expression cold.

"Lane wants to use those two counts to dismember the outer lords of the York family...I oppose his plan, Marquis Goron also opposes it, and Williams is a supporter... .. Apart from this, there is another person who supports Ryan. It is precisely because of that person's support that Ryan decided to implement this plan without hesitation." Catherine said quietly.

"Who is it?" Ariel's eyes were full of anger, she didn't expect such an inside story.

Catherine was silent for a while, and said: "It's Lora."

Ariel was shocked, cry out in surprise: "What?"

"Lora She supported Ryan out of worship. She felt that all the decisions Ryan made were correct. The same was true for Williams. He had admired his big brother since he was a child, and he was also used to obey Ryan’s decisions."

"How could this happen?"

Ariel's lips trembled, and tears were in her eyes. She couldn't accept that the wise and martial Ryan was arrogant.

Catherine stepped forward and gently held Ariel's hand to show comfort. Ariel has been silently loving her husband, but he has not received any feedback from Ryan.

"Anyone who makes a mistake will pay the price. The higher the status, the higher the price. Regardless of whether there is a conspiracy or not, it is true that Ryan made mistakes. He tried to control the east of the kingdom at the wrong time. , Was seized by Neowest and ruined Gambis's good situation. Now Williams feels he is responsible for Gambis, so he wants to sit on the throne."

"Williams? Even if he doesn't. Framed Ryan, he can't get rid of the relationship, he and the church are so close...maybe it is the church behind the planning all this." Ariel said with a sneer.

Catherine sighed, said: "Williams approached the church. I suggested and Ryan instructed." The queen was silent for a while and continued: "Politics is like this, there is no good and evil. There is only victory or defeat. In any case, Williams represents the interests of some people, and we also represent some forces. Now everyone wants to find a place in the new order, we cannot compromise, otherwise the power behind us will abandon us "

"Sophia is right. Goron is just scaring us. He will not support Williams at all. The forces he represents do not allow him to do so, but he will not support us... ...They just want to support Lora. However, whether it is Edward or Williams ascending to the throne, they will not object, because they are followers of Augustus."

"Since Goron won't Support Williams, then why do you have to deal with Sophia?" Ariel asked puzzledly.

"Because Sophia betrayed me! She inherited the meaning of the old marquis and embarked on the path of neutrality. Indeed! Neutrality is the survival of Chamber of Commerce, but what does it have to do with us? We tried our best to control the Chamber of Commerce in Wimbledon’s house, not to make it neutral, but to make it serve us. Now, Sophia is robbing our achievements, can I tolerate her?" Catherine looked angry. Said bitterly.

"In the past few years, Sophia has continuously mobilized our people in the Marquis’ mansion. So far, most of our people have been transferred abroad by her. At the same time, she has also adopted measures to curb the kingdom’s food prices. , Allowing the York family to buy a large amount of cheap food. Williams pressed on every step, I did not think Sophia did these things, until Velpin sent a message about Victor, I just woke up, what happened?"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean? Victor was attacked in Centaur Hills. Sophia and the York family were conspired? To clear our manpower in the Marquis House?" Ariel asked in horror .

Catherine slowly nodded, Ariel only felt cold all over.

After the death of the old Marquis, Sophia found Catherine and took out a will, asking Catherine to help her master the Chamber of Commerce, on the condition that she would work for Catherine. Catherine agreed. The will has no effect. The content of the will violates the descendant inheritance rights of the lords of the Glory Code. Therefore, Catherine promoted the Elder's Council to let Sophia choose a husband in the bloodline of Wimbledon's house, that is, Victor.

Ariel knew that Victor was the husband chosen by Catherine for Sophia, because Victor awakened the bloodline of the moon elf. He was weak in strength, difficult to reproduce, easy to control, and difficult to have children. From a legal point of view, Victor and Sophia’s heirs are the legitimate successors of the Marquis of Wimbledon. They have no heirs, and Sophia’s position will not be stable. Catherine can settle in Chamber of Commerce calmly and intervene in the hands of Sophia in a few years. With the heir, you can't control the Chamber of Commerce.

In the beginning, Sophia showed great favor with Victor, and she spared no effort to cooperate with Catherine in the Marquis's mansion. But with the death of Ryan, Catherine's strength was greatly reduced, and Sophia seized an opportunity.

Andre came to the capital to seek marriage, which caused Catherine's anxiety. Sophia took the opportunity to express to Catherine that she was willing to seduce Andre, thereby destroying the marriage. Catherine knew that if Sophia was pregnant with Andre's child, she would have secured the position of Marquis. But in the throne and Chamber of Commerce, Catherine chose the throne, she agreed with Sophia's proposal. Sophia kicked Victor to the inauguration lord of Centaur Hills.

However, Victor was attacked and all the people accompanying him were killed.

Those people are actually the staff arranged by the Queen in the Marquis Mansion. At that time, Catherine's attention was in the capital, and he didn't have the energy to pay attention to this matter. After Andre's marriage failed, Catherine also received a letter from Velpin Baron. Velpin tells Catherine that Victor is already very close to the York family. Catherine then understood Sophia's plot.

"Sophia knows that Victor is the key to our control. As long as Sophia is not pregnant and Victor dies, her status will be questioned. Therefore, she united with the York family to clean up our people. Victor was entrusted to Sylvia to protect, so as to completely get rid of our control." Catherine said bitterly.

"Sophia sent Victor to the York family, isn't she afraid of being controlled by the York family?" Ariel asked suspiciously.

"The York family controlled Victor, but did not control the Marquis Mansion like we did. Sophia is already free." Catherine sighed.

Suddenly, Ariel, originally Catherine planted a lot of eyeliner and manpower in the Marquis Mansion, and Sophia also behaved very submissively. Victor left the royal capital, and the manpower arranged by Catherine was killed by Sophia, adjusted and bought. She is indeed free. And the York family won’t be with Sophia either the fish dies or the net splits during the most difficult period of the family. They need the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce to transfer supplies to Centaur Hills.

"Your Majesty, are you going to send someone to assassinate little Baron?" Ariel calmly said, "Sophia is not pregnant yet, but she will visit the Borui Kingdom soon and wait for her When I come back, I think she will have a noble heir to bloodline. If we decide to do it, we must hurry up."

"Assassination? No! In front of one's eyes in Sylvia, assassinate her It’s very difficult to protect people. At least we can’t do it now. We’re going to get Baron back from Centaur Hills and let him take control of the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce.” Catherine smiled and said, “I’ll send someone. Send a letter to Velpin and he will understand how to do it."
