Wendy Nix paused for a moment.
"I have something else about you here. How about we exchange it?"
Li Aili: "About me?"
What could possibly be wrong with me?
Wendy Nix regretted her words as soon as she finished speaking.
Oh no, I was determined not to tell her when I came...
What am I supposed to say?
I found old letters my father had hidden... She...
Her birth might be part of a conspiracy... Aaaaaah!
This kind of thing is absolutely horrifying!
[Wouldn't saying this cause a lot of trouble!?]
Li Aili: "..."
She took a deep breath.
Just as I was about to ask more questions, the maids came in carrying tea and snacks.
As soon as the maids put down the dessert plates, Wendy Shani disregarded aristocratic etiquette, picked up an egg and ham sandwich, and began to wolf it down.
Li Aili said to the maids, "You all go out first and close the door."
The maids respectfully withdrew.
Wendy Nix has already 'destroyed' a layer of dessert.
She ate too quickly, and then choked a little while trying to drink her tea.
Sticking out his tongue and fanning himself wildly with his hands, he also took the time to complain about the hellish days in the capital.
"After the Cold Jade Knights besieged the city, the king learned that the Duke of the North and the Duke of the West had actually reached the Saint rank."
"The two dukes used their domains to block the capital's supply lines."
Thinking about the chaos in the capital, Wendy's lips twitched.
"When I came out, there was only bread and water on the dining table at home."
"Light... Darkness God, this is a Marquis's house!"
Li Aili: "..."
Li Aili made a rough guess that this younger sister—no, this younger brother—was able to escape the fate of becoming a hostage.
Could it be that a princess helped?
This explains why she changed her faith.
How many followers of the Dark Church are there in the capital now?
Wendy: "..."
Why are you asking me this?
Li Aili: "Because I know Marquis Marina and I know her true faith."
Of course, I might have also acted as her 'career planner' along the way...
There's no need to tell my slow-witted brother this.
Wendy breathed a sigh of relief.
He picked up a small lime cheese tart, "Except for the king, the crown prince, and those royalists..."
“Those royalist wives have all secretly converted to Christianity.”
"Ordinary people are a bit difficult to deal with."
"But a few days ago, Queen Melanie came up with a plan to get the nobles to donate flour for charity."
"But actually, the person distributing the flour would secretly slip a small note inside."
The note read: "Convert to the darkness, and you will receive your first bag of flour."
Wendy licked the lingering sweetness off her fingers with a delighted smile. "This trick is very effective. It seems that the commoners in the capital are praying to the God of Darkness before dinner."
Li Aili: "…………"
"So, the turning point you mentioned means the Dark Church is going to intervene?"
Wendy: "..."
Wendy: "!!!"
A series of screeching sounds erupted from above his head: "Aaaaaaaahh ...
Li Aili: "That's easy to guess."
"Because you have been studying abroad for many years, you don't have many connections in the capital."
"If the royal knights are so easy to bribe, then the king's plan to take hostages is likely to fail."
"No nobleman can't afford to spend money; they have as much gold as they want to save their lives."
"The fact that they secretly let you go means they must have the knight's approval."
"Then it can only be a member of the royal family."
And the current members of the royal family...
"The king and his eldest son (?) believed in light, while the queen and the princess believed in darkness."
Li Aili had reason to suspect that "His Highness the Crown Prince might be a 'fence-sitter,' siding with whoever ultimately wins."
"And Marquis Marina is even plotting to betray Melanie..."
"Then he supported his mother to become the empress, and never became the sole heir of Mingzheng Salt Water."
"Of course, she could also go all in and go straight for the clergy path."
"Help the Dark Church gain the faith of the Kingdom of Clark, thereby instantly achieving a high position within the Dark Church."
"As for the Queen... if she discovers that her husband is thinking of changing wives, she might just take a bottle of poison and 'go' before him."
Then he supported his own son to ascend the throne.
Now that you mention it, the waters in the capital city are truly deep.
Wendy Nix was stunned.
To be more specific, my head was practically steaming.
Seeing that her mouth was agape in shock, Li Aili thought to herself, "If all else fails, I should research a drug to improve my stupid brother's IQ."
"So, you're saying the Knights are going to fail because the Dark Church has seized the opportunity and is preparing to strike?"
Wendy Nix looked at her stepsister with admiration.
"When I came out, the Holy Light Church's troops suddenly retreated."
"The Dark Church has actually infiltrated the capital long ago. Oh, by the way, do you have one here...?"
"She had blonde hair, green eyes, was as beautiful as a goddess, and had a heart as compassionate as a god..."
Wendy blushed deeply, unable to utter a single shameful word.
[Ugh! How could Marina utter hundreds of such embarrassing words without batting an eye?!]
Li Aili: "..."
"In short, Marquis Marina has a message for her..."
“Find this person for me and tell her that Marina said, ‘My beautiful little bird, wait for me, I will bring victory and glory and share supreme power with you.’”
