All the contract girls want to marry me

The information Matthew got was obviously VIP service.

The VIP-level information of Shadow of Destiny is impossible to make mistakes.

Wendy knew her mother's fate and sobbed softly: "I understand, can you leave me alone for a while?"

Matthew left the room knowingly.

He knew that Wendy was going to cry alone, and he really couldn't do much to help.

If Wendy needs it, he will step forward without hesitation, and that's all he can do.

But now Wendy just wants to be alone to chew on the pain of losing her loved one.

What makes Wendy more uncomfortable than this pain is probably the impermanence of people in the face of fate.

If Wendy's mother was killed, he could still take revenge, but if her mother committed suicide, who would he seek revenge from?

Are you looking for someone who makes predictions about fate?

That's the World Tree Nutshell from the God Realm. You can't go to the God Realm to find someone, right?

Shortly after Matthew left, Wendy had no scruples anymore and buried herself under her pillow and cried bitterly.

He knew that nothing could be undone, not even his future fate.

He was already grieving over his mother's death, and he couldn't bear the loss of any more loved ones.He only wants to do one thing, and that is to protect his father and two brothers.

That night, Matthew sat alone in the study all night.

He was thinking about various possible scenarios and formulating countermeasures for different possibilities.

Wendy has lost a loved one and is now very emotional and needs his help in making decisions.

He must be absolutely calm.

His goal is simple, to protect Wendy and keep the throne of the Himilun family as emperor.

It doesn't matter whether the emperor is Windsor, Jenson or Wendy.

As long as he doesn't fall into the Hoffenhager family.

Matthew always felt that this matter was not simple.

If we follow the principle of whoever benefits the most and who is the suspect, the biggest suspect is definitely not Wendy, but Jessica Christensen Hoffenhager.

This man had disappeared from Matthew's sight for so long that Matthew had almost forgotten about him.

In the past three years, the Hoffenhage family seemed to have disappeared, hiding in their own kingdom.

During the defense of Rundberg, Matthew killed the mainstay of the opponent's army and killed the illegitimate son of the Hoffenhager family.

Didier was no ordinary illegitimate son. He was the nominal son of Baron Fran. According to imperial law, he had the second-in-line succession to the earldom of Rundebel.

As long as Matthew is dead, he can take over.

This is the opportunity that the Hoffenhager family has been waiting for for many years. As long as it succeeds, they will have one more elector qualification, and the possibility of becoming emperor will greatly increase.

However, such a delicate plan was ruined by Matthew.

Matthew's appearance bankrupted the plans of the Hoffenhage family, not to mention that he later publicly supported the Himilen family.

It would be strange if King Hoffenhage could spare Matthew.

The Hoffenhager family was once the founding emperor of the Clare Empire and served as emperor for more than 800 years.

Just when people were used to their re-election, the Himilun family suddenly did not support their re-election and stood up to compete with them for the throne.

After being kicked off the emperor's position, the Hoffenhager family realized how important the emperor's position was.

Although the emperor could not directly order the lords to do anything, he had many ways to get their support.

It is said that the Claire Empire is a bulk empire, but even if it is a bulk empire, it is better than being a king.

The conflicts between the Hoffenhager family, the Himilen family and the Lundbeer family are simply irreconcilable.

During this turmoil within the Himilen family, the Hoffenhager family did not show up from beginning to end.

This is totally unreasonable.

Irrational things often mean there is a conspiracy behind them.

If it weren't for the fact that the Hoffenhager family didn't have this ability, Matthew would almost suspect that the manipulator behind this matter was the Hoffenhager family.

They have the motivation, but not the ability.

Matthew's fingertips tapped rhythmically on the table, carefully considering every clue.

The First and Second Empires did have this ability, but they had no motive.

A delicate balance is maintained between the three empires, and there is a tacit understanding between them that lasts for hundreds of years, that is, the empires do not interfere in each other's internal affairs.

None of the three empires have the ability to swallow up each other, so they are naturally unwilling to engage in meaningless fights.

In the past few hundred years, the three major empires have strictly adhered to this principle. If there were conflicts, they would only engage in some proxy wars and would not engage in personal confrontation.

It should not be them.

Since it's not these people, it must be the hidden forces hiding in the darkness.

Matthew knew that there were many demigods hidden in this world, and there were even true gods sleeping.

These true gods will not sleep forever, and with the Great Extinction approaching, there is not much time left for them to regain their strength.

When they can't sleep well, they will naturally come out.

In addition to the true gods who came down from the God Realm, there are also some local indigenous gods, such as God Dolan and Mother Earth, who are also constantly looking for ways to restore their strength.

Could these people be behind this?

Matthew wasn't sure, but he knew that there were only 3000 years left in the mass extinction, and the strong ones who still stayed in their own plane would appear sooner or later.

He must become stronger as soon as possible, with stronger power, more powerful partners, and a broader empire.

There are only so many resources in this plane. If someone takes more, he will have less.

This is a standard zero-sum game.

This prophecy event in the Clare Empire Palace is just a prologue. As time goes by, more and more powerful people will stand out from the darkness and take to the main stage.

Matthew took a deep breath. Just as Wendy was entangled in the hatred between country and family, Matthew was already thinking about the opponents who competed for resources before the mass extinction.

As for the Claire Empire, Matthew was too lazy to think about it.

Empathy is bullshit.

Wendy is his good brother, and when his mother dies, he will be sad for a while, but how is it possible to expect him to miss a queen he has never met so much?

You can’t even pretend.

Wendy knew this too, so she kicked him out and cried alone.

He is an adult, and he can only bear some sadness by himself.

Matthew believed him, he knew that tomorrow morning Wendy would walk out of the room full of blood and blue, leaving her sadness and crying behind.

This is the basic quality that a prince must possess.

While Matthew was deep in thought, there was a knock on the door.

It's Shirley's scent.

Matthew knew that tonight was Shirley's time.

Although she was not in the mood, Shirley was not wrong. She couldn't be allowed to foot the bill.

So, Matthew stood up, wiped away the sadness from the corners of his eyes, and walked towards the door with a smile on his face.

He opened the door and said with a smile: "My dear, I was delayed for a while because of something. Let's go, it's time for us to rest."

Shirley didn't know how many ups and downs Matthew and Wendy had gone through. She just felt that it was already ten o'clock in the evening and it was time to rest even if something happened.

The most important thing they should do now is to create human beings.

These days, she fell in love with this feeling, and she wished she could stay by Matthew's side every moment.

Although they had been married a long time ago, it was only these days that she felt the beauty of the relationship between men and women.

Shirley pulled Matthew away, leaving behind an empty study and a forgotten sigh in the study.

The next morning, the sun rises, the spring breeze brings warmth, and everything gradually recovers.

The melted snow in winter creates streams that merge into rivers, and the spring breeze turns the fields green, urging farmers to work quickly.

No one knew that in the secret room of the palace, a noble queen quietly ended her life.

Countless people die every day, and how many can be remembered?

With the help of Shirley, Matthew put on the Duke's military uniform, put on all the medals and symbols, and appeared in the most perfect spirit.

Shirley was quite restrained last night and stopped asking for it before midnight, hugging Matthew and enjoying the sleep after the release of passion.

She got up early this morning, helped Matthew change his clothes, and then she also changed into the attire of a holy warrior.

Wearing azure armor and a white cloak, coupled with a mighty scepter, Shirley today is beautiful and solemn.

Looking at Shirley's solemn expression, it was difficult for Matthew to connect her with the woman who ebbed and flowed like the sea last night.

Women are like this, change is their eternal theme.

Walking out of the door, Matthew saw Wendy sitting on a horse.

Wendy smiled and waved to Matthew.

"Matthew, hurry up, everyone is waiting for you!"

There was no strange expression on Wendy's face, and her eyes were particularly peaceful.

But Matthew could feel his soul shaking.

Sure enough, even Wendy, who looks strong on the outside, is just holding on.

The death of a loved one is a heavy blow to anyone, and Wendy is no exception.

The troops were assembled and marched in neat formation to the triumphal venue.

Today, Emperor Windsor finally appeared. He looked kind as usual, waved enthusiastically to the generals and soldiers, and loudly praised their bravery and fearlessness.

Everything is back on track, as if nothing happened.

But Matthew knew very well that drastic changes had already occurred within the empire.

Matthew didn't know the origin of this prophecy, but he doubted its true departure.

It takes a huge price to break through the dimensional barrier between the divine world and the human world.

No matter which boss in the God Realm he is, he will never make a prophecy simply out of boredom.

The most likely possibility is that it is forgery, and the second possibility is that the boss of the God Realm wants to stir up trouble.

Matthew hoped it was the former. If it was just an enemy from this plane, he could still deal with it.If a strong man from the God Realm smells the uneasy atmosphere and takes action in advance, it will be difficult for him to deal with it.

In short, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, so just adapt to circumstances.

The triumphal ceremony was completed.

The Himilon family and the emperor gained glory, the warriors gained merit and rewards, and everyone was happy.

The only people who were not happy were probably the people who were captured as trophies from the Huoxun Khanate, but their opinions were ignored.

There are also a group of very beautiful prairie women in the trophy team.

They were the former harem of Zalandin Khan.

Zalandin was definitely of no use. His two sons died only an hour later than him. Naturally, there was no need to inherit this beautiful inheritance. So these women were given to Wendy as trophies by Matthew. .

Wendy had no need for them, so she packed them up and gave them to her father.

I originally thought that my father would hand them over to ministers and generals, but now it seems that my father will really put them to use.

This reversal, like a joke from hell, made Wendy want to cry and laugh at the same time.

My father had an unshirkable responsibility for my mother's death, but after all, my father did not do anything to her. He was also thinking about the future of the family.

The Emperor Windsor has been struggling with the question of who to sacrifice.

That was the queen who had been with him for 30 years. He might be able to ignore her, but how could he be willing to do it?

The emperor has no family affairs, and the royal family is the most ruthless, but this is not the case with Windsor.
