Odell said sadly: "Anna is my little daughter. As a mother, I can't bear to have her leave me."

Victor had just gotten rid of his charming emotions and his mind was not clear enough. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "The Randall Territory is indeed quite far away from the Fred Viscounty Territory. You should keep Anna by your side."

Odell just looked at him quietly, and after a while, he said: "When I was 12 years old, I came to the York family from the Kingdom of Suss, and Embiter's cousin Vitus York went to Bu

The Ranstetter family.”

Equal foster care between big lords is often a family marriage, which is essentially a blood exchange, and is also to avoid the risk of family demise. If a family fails in the internal struggle of the kingdom and is purged by a hostile family, the exchanged children will also have

The responsibility of rebuilding the family. Therefore, the targets of this kind of foster marriage are usually large families outside the kingdom.

Anna is the leader among the descendants of the York family, but the York family, under the leadership of Sylvia, behaved aggressively. The powerful forces in the Kingdom of Cambys really did not dare to marry the York family, otherwise they would become a thorn in the eyes of the royal family.

A thorn in the flesh. In this case, Sylvia can only choose a foster marriage partner among external forces.

This time, envoys from various kingdoms gathered at Centaur Hill, and there were definitely a few kingdoms willing to marry into the York family. The top knights of Nahuel and Sasan may have the mission of marrying each other, and maybe the children of the families who were exchanged for foster care were already in the Golden Kingdom.

Water city.

No matter who the York family chooses to marry, Anna is the candidate for Sylvia's exchange. However, Odell and Fred are obviously unwilling to lose their beloved daughter.

In modern society, separation of flesh and blood is undoubtedly a human pain. Victor has two lives. In his previous life, he was an orphan and longed for the love of his parents. In this life, his host was betrayed by his father and stepmother. As high knights, Viscount Fred and his wife did not

Dare to go against Sylvia's will, they had no choice but to place their hopes on Victor.

"The Centaur Hill is so big, can't it accommodate an Anna?"

Victor had no children, but Fred and Odile's affection and parental love touched him deeply. He thought about it and said: "Sylvia is fair, gentle and generous, and she also has a preference for Anna."

Jia, I will ask her to find another candidate for marriage. Just keep Anna by your side."

How could Sylvia know about this kind of thing in advance?

Odell frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Victor, do you know the origin of Katerina?"

"Katerina? She is Embiter's personal maid and a noble daughter of the Joshua family. Since she was promoted to Grand Knight, she has begun to take over the duties of the Duchess of York."

"Only Sylvia can let a great knight act as Eunbi Se's personal maid."

Odell sighed and shook his head: "After Duke and Duchess Joshua became extraordinary knights, their only daughter was Caitlin. She was fostered in the Kite Castle since she was a child and was trained as a knight of Princess Roland. Caitlin

The relationship between Na and Roland is like Trishley and Sylvia. She almost became the queen of Cambis, but in the end she was snatched away by Sylvia and given to Enbither as a personal maid."

"Wha...what? King...Queen?" Victor said in shock.

"The legitimate daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Joshua, a close friend of Princess Roland, the fiancée of Prince Edward, and the future queen of Cambis was snatched away by Sylvia and became Enbither's personal maid. For this matter, Roland

He got furious and forced the senator to reduce our York family to earls."

The corners of Odell's lips turned up, and her moist eyes curved into crescent moons. She couldn't help but smile and said: "But it's really refreshing!" After a pause, he added: "More than ten years ago, we led 50,000 people.

, migrating towards the Centaur Hills and passing by the Dukedom of Joshua, Sylvia asked us to stop. Duke Joshua and his knights huddled in the castle and did not dare to move, allowing us to drive away the villagers, collect food and supplies, and seize the village.

House. Four months later, the Joshua family could no longer hold on, and they asked Caterina to come forward to negotiate. Sylvia detained her and took her to Centaur Hills."

"Victor, you should understand now. Sylvia's tenderness is only for you." Odell smiled.

Victor took a breath of cold air. Sylvia always showed her helplessness, compromise and grievance towards the August family in front of him, as if the strength of the Spiritual Knight was just a far-fetched legend, but she still had a gentle personality in her bones.

A graceful little woman. Today, Victor knows Sylvia’s true face.

The noble-blooded Duke's daughter, the future queen of Cambis, was kidnapped directly and given to Enbither as a personal maid. The faces of the royal family and Duke Joshua were both swollen by Sylvia, but they could only

The York family was reduced to earldoms without any pain, and the Senate finally restored Embither's title.

Sylvia is not only strong, she is so domineering that it makes people look at her.

Then again, the Joshua family was the trigger for the War of the Three Provinces. The peripheral lords of the York family bloodline pressed forward step by step, prompting Duke Joshua to ask for help from the royal family, which indirectly led to the fall of King Ryan. The York family also

The victims not only lost the territory they had managed for generations, but also the peripheral lords all turned to Neovist. Sylvia had no choice but to lead the core members of the family to move west to the Centaur Hills to re-open the family territory.

The York family suffered huge losses for no reason. How could Sylvia bear this bad breath? Knocking out the teeth of the initiator and forcing them to swallow it would show the true nature of a knight of the spirit.

But, is Sylvia really just trying to vent her anger?

There are many strange things about Ryan's death. Sylvia clearly felt the undercurrent, but could not find the mastermind behind it. Under the unclear situation, Sylvia defied everyone's opinions, moved her family westward, and decisively jumped out of the whirlpool.

center, so as not to repeat the same mistakes as Ryan. However, the people of the York family could not leave their homeland, and they left in such disgrace, and people's hearts were inevitably upset. Sylvia robbed Katerina to boost the morale of the family and to express her gratitude to the family.

All forces have shown that the dignity of the Divine Knight cannot be violated. This is how her authority is established.

On the other hand, by ruining the marriage contract between Katerina and the royal family of Edward, the Joshua family had no choice but to support Archduke Williams. In this way, Williams had the confidence to challenge Queen Catherine.

The battle was conducive to the integration of the York family's territory in the Centaur Hills.

For Duke Joshua, paying for a daughter can calm the anger of the August family and the York family. After all, he is the culprit. Pretending to be the victim can gain some sympathy and secretly help the York family.

After all, Sylvia is unable to have children, and the children of Caterina and Embisse will inherit the throne of the York family.

Queen Catherine was born in a small branch of the Wellington family. Her foundation was still shallow and she needed the support of her mother's family more than the Joshua family. Catherine made Margaret Wellington the fiancée of Prince Edward.

Margaret is the daughter of the Marquis of Goron and the Duchess of Wellington. It is precisely because of this relationship that the Marquis of Goron remained silent on Williams' legal inheritance, and the kingdom's military maintained a neutral stance.

So, Catalina is the only victim, is it now Anna’s turn?

Sylvia didn't even give Anna the Swiftbird mount, which shows that her preference is just an illusion, and the jewel of the York family is probably just a compliment to sell Anna at a good price.

The question is, Anna's bloodline talent is so outstanding, why did Sylvia send her away? Unless Anna threatens the inheritance rights of Enbiser's children.

For small families, the primogeniture system is an important condition for maintaining the stability of the family and maintaining the integrity of the territory. But it would be particularly ridiculous for large forces to strictly abide by the primogeniture system. In fact, the internal factions of large families are complicated and the struggle for the throne

It was very intense, with various conspiracies and intrigues emerging one after another, and it was not uncommon for heirs to be exiled and murdered.

Moreover, there is a strange phenomenon in big families. The eldest son is often not as good as the youngest son. The reason lies in the order of promotion of knights by his parents. In order to maintain the status of the eldest son, the big lord came up with an ingenious way to use outstanding family children.

In exchange for the noble bloodline of other big families, the bloodline advantage of this branch can be ensured through marriage, and at the same time, the competitors for the successor can be eliminated.

After Victor thought about it carefully, he found that Anna posed a great threat to Enbiser's heirs.

The lifespan of the Divine Knight is equivalent to that of the Silver Knight, and far less than that of the Golden Knight. The more the York family expands now, the more they will be suppressed by major forces in the future. Once Sylvia dies, they will need a strong leader.

Inherit the family throne.

Although Caitlina is a great knight, Embise is just an ordinary person. How can their descendants be comparable to Anna? Embise's descendants will definitely not be able to withstand the pressure within the family. Losing the right to inherit is inevitable, maybe

Will also be murdered.

Considering the long-term interests of the family, Sylvia should choose Anna, but she owed Embisse a favor and made a promise of inheritance. Sylvia's forcing Catalina to be Embisse's spouse is considered a promise

Part of it, but if she doesn't send Anna away, this promise will be difficult to fulfill after all.

Victor asked calmly: "Sylvia is the woman I love. Do you think I will betray her will and help you fight for the inheritance?"

"Inheritance?"

Odell smiled self-deprecatingly, shook his head and said, "It would be a lie to say that we don't want inheritance rights, but we just want to protect ourselves now."

"There is enough land in the Centaur Hills, and the southern continent is still waiting for us to explore. The future of the York family is magnificent, and every bit of strength is extremely valuable."

"You should know that the purpose of fostering marriage is to weaken the side branches, but the family background that Fred and I created is still shallow, and the eldest son and the second son have mediocre qualifications. If Anna helps, Fred and I will be much easier. On the contrary,

Our family may be in ruins."

"Sylvia may not want to keep Anna, she just needs a step up. You and Sophia are qualified." Odell said sincerely: "Since Anna is going to be regarded as a foster marriage partner, why should she be sent to Satan?"

San or Neville? Your and Sophia's heirs can definitely marry Caitlina's heirs. This will ensure the inheritance rights of the heirs of this sect. Anna will stay by your side and the Randall family will be strengthened. Isn't this good?

?"

Before Sophia's return, Victor was at best the internal minister of the York family. After Sophia's return, the Randall family could be called a real family and become an extremely important political force in Centaur Hill. The Freds used Anna and Victor's alliance is the choice to maximize interests.

Victor has a lifespan of 160 years. If Anna becomes Victor's woman, she will retain the inheritance rights of the York family. With the support of the Randall family, she is very likely to become the leader of the York family. If Anna and The marriage of the children of Victor and Sophia is equivalent to the marriage of the Fred family and the Randall family. The blood of the two parties continues to exchange, and the Fred family will inevitably grow rapidly.

Fred and Odell are both husband and wife and lord, and Anna is their daughter and their subject. Blood, power, family affection, love, and interests are all intertwined and intricate, making it difficult to distinguish them from each other.

This is family politics.

Seeing Anna playing happily outside, the confusion in Victor's eyes gradually faded away, becoming bright and firm. At this moment, he was transforming from a small lord into a real nobleman.
