Her intuition told her that Count Jesus's arrival might be related to her father Orson.
"Father, was it you who invited Jesus to Wushan Castle?"
Orson looked at his daughter, then nodded slowly, "Diane, your intuition is as accurate as always. Yes, I did invite Jesus here."
"Why?"
Diane asked in confusion: "You know, the Marquis doesn't have a very good relationship with the other party, and Wiggins hates him even more."
In the early years, when the territory was divided, Rulans and Jesus had some disputes; and thirteen years ago, when the Polante Bandits Group was just starting to gain power, they invaded the small town of Surrey in Wushan Territory, resulting in the death of Baron Amos Surrey in that war.
It is said that Amos sent a distress signal to Count Moonlight Valley at that time, but Jesus did not take any action.
After Amos' death, the sad news reached Ushan Castle, and his daughter, Fatima, Wiggins' first wife, died of depression shortly afterwards.
Therefore, Wiggins dislikes Jesus very much, and can even be said to hate him.
"To confirm his status as Breton's heir." Orson said.
Diane shook her head slightly. "I don't think Bretton's position is unstable, father. Although Ronin's recent performance is very good, I believe the Marquis will not change the heir without sufficient reason."
“Haha, there is nothing he, Lu Lans, dare not do.”
Orson smiled and said, "I know more and more about Lulans than you do. Even if there is no change in the next three to five years, after a long time, if Roning shows enough ability in governance, he is very likely to make a decision to change it."
Diane was hard to be convinced by this statement. What Wushan Castle needed most now was a powerful heir. Ronin couldn't do it, but Breton could.
What outsiders don’t know is that with Breton’s training speed, he could easily become a mid-level knight at the age of fourteen.
By the time he reaches adulthood, he should already be a high-level knight. Such a talent for cultivation is rare! Diane wants her son to inherit Wushan Territory, but she wants a complete Wushan Territory, not a Wushan Territory that is full of contradictions and fragments.
She was indeed relying on her mother's family's power, but she did not want her mother's family to offend the entire Wushan Fort and many nobles.
"So what are you going to do?" she asked.
Orson laughed and shook the tall crystal glass in his hand. "You saw it too. Jesus has already conveyed his intention in the square. Even if Lulans wants to change it, we, no, Jesus and others have a reason to intervene."
Regarding the question of "establishing two heirs at the same time" in the square before, no matter how Ronin answered, it would not change the result.
"Diane, this Blanche is going to marry Ronin. With a status related to the royal family, even if he wants to do something in the future, we can't deal with it too harshly."
There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, "So, we must make Lu Lansi have more scruples and considerations when he wants to change the heir again, instead of him being able to decide alone."
When Ronin was abolished, Lulans alone only had to make the decision;
If Breton wants to be deposed now, besides Orson's disagreement, there will be more people, especially members of the royal family, who will question it. That's enough.
So, this was one of the reasons why Orson invited Jesus over.
Diane wanted to say something else, but she had to admit that this was indeed a good idea and would be good for Breton.
She sighed, "Father, I hope you can inform me first next time something like this happens."
"I'm sorry Diane, this happened so quickly that I didn't have time to tell you."
Orson said solemnly: "But I promise, I will never do it again next time."
The two chatted for a while, and then Diane left the yard.
Perhaps, she could assist Breton in governing the territory, but she did not have the ability or foundation to think and make arrangements from the perspective of Lulans and Orson.
Over the years, she has not been able to build up her own power in Wushanbao because the Lu Lansi to whom most people are loyal is still there.
Once Lulans died, Wiggins could at best maintain the status quo of Wushan Territory. She was not sure how much sincere loyalty he could gain from his vassals.
So for Diane now, the best situation would be if Rulans could live another ten years in peace, and then her son Breton could grow up peacefully as the third-generation heir.
In ten years, Bretton's strength should be able to reach the gold level or even higher. By that time, there will definitely be more nobles in Wushan Territory who are willing to follow him than Wiggins. Even her family will have to think twice before doing anything, instead of asking for the opinions of her and her son like they do now.
"Maybe I also need to find a suitable marriage partner for Breton." Diane thought.
At the same time, Princess Blanche's residence, which was a restricted reception courtyard in the Marquis's Palace, had been cleaned up in advance.
At this time, Blanche was changing clothes in front of the mirror while talking to her bodyguard.
"Missy, what do you think of that Ronin?"
"It's a lot better than we thought when we set out."
Missy recalled Ronin's reaction when the Griffin Squadron swooped down on him.
"Your Highness, he is braver than I am, and his appearance and manners are more decent. Aside from his lack of strength, I haven't discovered any shortcomings yet."
"some."
"Huh?" Missy tilted her head, very confused.
Blanche put on a fur coat and tied a corset, which immediately made her figure look smoother.
"I found that in private, he didn't talk much."
When she came back just now, she asked Ronin a few more questions about Hillwood Town. He said that there was not even a solid castle, then that the population was only over 4,000, and then that the knights' salaries were almost unpayable...
All in all, nothing good to say.
Generally speaking, in this situation, shouldn't the man describe his image better?
Blanche looked at herself in the mirror with resentment, "I think he said that on purpose because he dislikes me."
Missy couldn't help but laugh, "Your Highness, you are someone people only admire, who would despise you? Those rumors are just rumors after all, you don't have to worry about them."
Blanche sighed, raised her hand and quickly carved a spell pattern, and a black mist appeared on her palm.
The scene was like white mist made of dry ice constantly surging on the stage, except that the mist in her palm was black.
"It's because of those rumors that I dare not tell others that I am a magician."
Dark attribute, she shook her hands, dispelled the spell, revealing her white, slender hands.
"Let's go, Luo Ning is still waiting outside."
Blanche adjusted herself to a natural state, "I heard that there is a lively competition at the Colosseum in Wushan City today. Roning is going to invite us to watch it."
