Chapter 769: Mystery is Not Understanding!
Fifth Star Gate, Zero Magic World.
The Tristain Kingdom, ever since decisively defeating the Regen Zista Religion's Great Army of seventy thousand with Louise's Void Magic, gained widespread fame on the Halkeginia Continent.
At the same time, the ten Magic Flying Ships and fifty Cannons obtained from Prince Wales also significantly boosted the Nation's Military Strength.
However, the Griffin Magic Guard was severely damaged, suffering over two thousand Casualties.
But the originally pleasant Atmosphere was broken by two Envelopes from the Germania Kingdom.
"Tell me, what is this about?"
Duchess Marianne sat upright on the Throne, shaking the Letter in her hand with a displeased Expression.
"King Albrecht III says that since you and King Wales of the Albion Kingdom already have feelings for each other, he might as well dissolve the Engagement!"
"This..."
Princess Henrietta was a little panicked, but then saw her Mother take out a second Letter, looking at her with eyes full of disappointment: "The other party even copied the Original Copy of the Love Letter you wrote to King Wales."
"Ah?!"
Princess Henrietta quickly took the Letter and scanned through it. After reading, her face was completely consumed by shame, leaving only a low murmur of self-talk.
"This... this... how is this possible..."
"What's there to think about?"
Duchess Marianne sighed deeply: "It must be the work of that King Wales. He wants to destroy your Engagement, but this not only insults your reputation, it also makes our Royalty completely lose face. What a cruel person!"
But Princess Henrietta shook her head repeatedly, her Feelings appearing very Excited.
"No! Wales... His Majesty wouldn't be this kind of Human. There must be some misunderstanding here!"
However, in her Heart, she actually also had some suspicion. After all, after Louise returned, she clearly stated that her Letter had been delivered into Prince Wales's hands.
But she was unwilling to believe that her lover would be so despicable.
"Never mind, never mind. Things have come to this point, and saying anything more is meaningless. Since you no longer have an Engagement, prepare to take over as Queen."
Duchess Marianne also didn't want to overly pressure her Daughter. After all, as a Women, she also understood the Feeling of love.
"However, try your best to forget these Feelings. You are destined not to be together. Believe that you yourself also know this Principle..."
Princess Henrietta lowered her head and didn't answer.
Because on the Halkeginia Continent, there is a Rules among the Nobility: a Queen who has ascended the throne can marry and have children, but must not marry and have children with another King.
The reason behind this, some understand, some don't.
But for so many years, everyone has been following it, and no exceptions have occurred.
"Yes."
Facing Duchess Marianne's long, direct Gaze, Princess Henrietta could only suppress her uncomfortable Feelings and nod in agreement.
Ten days later.
The Albion Kingdom, far from the Continent and floating above the High Altitude, had its originally chaotic domestic Environment basically calmed down.
All the Civilian thought that the days ahead would be as peaceful as before.
However.
The middle and higher-level Officer and Official noticed something was wrong.
Because the modification of Magic Warships, the forging of Cannons, and the Mass Production of Breech-loading Rifles, as well as the Training of Soldiers organized in batches to familiarize themselves with Shooting Combat, were still ongoing.
What was this for?
But the current King Wales had just finished the Cleaning of domestic rebels, and his Prestige had already reached its peak, so no one dared to come and question anything.
Inside the Royal Palace Castle.
"Your Majesty, look. Princess Henrietta has successfully become the Queen of the Tristain Kingdom. It's truly worth celebrating."
"I suggest you go there soon, and by the way, push the matter of the Envelope onto me, and then propose marriage."
Mima Amatori and King Wales sat facing each other at the two ends of the Office Desk.
The former's tone was very gentle, and his Attitude towards the latter was also very respectful. It's just that the words spoken didn't sound much like a Suggestion.
"I, I know what to do."
King Wales agreed very obediently.
Seeing this, Mima Amatori revealed a satisfied Smile: "Good. As long as His Majesty is obedient, you will definitely obtain everything you want, whether it's Women or Status!"
Now, King Wales's Mind was under the Control of Andvari's Ring.
Speaking of which, this thing, Andvari's Ring, can indeed be called a World Secret Treasure. There are two methods of Control over people alone.
One type is close-range continuous Control. This method can manipulate the other party's Body behavior according to the ring-wearer's Will, but it will not affect the other party's Consciousness and Thought.
One type is mid-range charm Control. Although this method cannot directly control the other party's Body behavior, the other party's Consciousness will be affected, for example, Loyalty to the ring-wearer.
However, if the ring-wearer takes off the Ring or dies, all previously controlled individuals will undergo Recovery.
Furthermore.
If a person's Mental Power is strong enough or their Feelings are very Excited, it is also possible to break the Control Effect on themselves.
There's just one regrettable point.
It must be activated using Magic Power, so Mima Amatori could only let Valter use it in his place.
And the reason Valter obeyed him.
It was because after Mima Amatori roughly understood Valter's character and Thought, he secretly found him trapped in the Prison Cell and talked for a night.
He finally determined that this was a Human who also pursued greater Strength and higher Authority.
The reason Valter joined the Regen Zista Religion, besides being influenced by Andvari's Ring's Mind, was also attracted by the Regen Zista Religion's Target of attempting the Conquest of the Whole World.
Furthermore, he himself also had a plan: to find an opportunity to kill Cromwell, snatch the other party's Andvari's Ring, and then rise up to become the Ruler of the World.
Mima Amatori understood this kind of Human too well, because he himself was this kind of Human.
So he directly stated that he also planned to use the Albion Kingdom to carry out the Conquest of the Whole World. It's just that the two of them didn't know each other at the time and unluckily chose opposing sides.
But now they could join forces, and he casually threw the Andvari's Ring to the other party.
Anyway, this thing was useless to him.
Valter wasn't a fool either; he had already witnessed Mima Amatori's Strength before.
So he simply chose to obediently submit, preparing to follow the latter and see how things went, because he always felt that this group of people led by Mima Amatori was very mysterious.
Mysterious means not understanding.
Then no matter what plans there were, one had to first understand.
Four days later.
Wales came to the Tristain Kingdom again and met Henrietta. The Identity of this pair of lovers was no longer what it used to be: one was a King, one was a Queen.
But as soon as night fell and it was quiet, the two couldn't help but meet secretly.
"Your Majesty, why did that Letter appear in King Albrecht III's hands?"
Wales faced Henrietta's slightly angry questioning in his arms.
Directly following Mima Amatori's instructions, he said it was because Mima Amatori saw that he thought of the other party every day and took it upon himself to do this somewhat despicable thing.
And by the time he knew, it was too late, which was also the reason he rushed over this time: he wanted to explain clearly to her in person.
"So that's how it is..."
Queen Henrietta looked at King Wales's clear Eyes and believed him, because in her Heart, the other party would not lie to her, and was even less that kind of bad Human.
But just then, Wales leaned into her ear and whispered: "Marry me, Henrietta..."
"What?!"
This caused her Expression to suddenly change drastically, her face covered with a look of shock.
