Chapter 390
"You are obviously seducing me."
Sylvia sat on Victor's lap, her white hands wrapped around his neck, her smile sly, and her eyes as charming as silk.
If Victor's marriage to Sister Alina is a passive acceptance, then his sheltering Anna can be regarded as an active integration. From then on, the economic, military and political ties between the Randall family and the York family will all change.
The relationship is even closer, and it is justifiable. The most important thing is that Victor's vision is no longer limited to his own territory. He will devote more energy to the reform of Centaur Hill and make suggestions for the York family.
Love me and help me, he is my man!
Victor's change of attitude made Sylvia elated, and her every move and smile revealed a heart-stirring charm.
People who are passionately in love always pay attention to the changes in their lovers. Sylvia's coquettish and coquettish appearance made Victor feel happy. He put his arm around the slender waist of the Queen of Roses and kneaded the queen's smooth and jade-like calves with the other hand.
Massaging, he teased: "Is this how you seduce?"
"Hmm..." Sylvia snorted softly, smiled lightly, and rested her head on Victor's shoulder. The fresh breaths blended together, gradually taking on a gentle sweetness.
The two embraced each other intimately, quietly enjoying the warmth and sweetness of the moment.
"Do you have anything you want to ask?" Sylvia raised her head, her eyes still gentle but with a gleam of wisdom.
She is the noble daughter of Sousse. She is proficient in charm and knows how to please men. She is also the Queen of Roses. She is decisive in killing and strong-willed. She is also a top strong person with a perfect soul and is arrogant. She never wants her partner to be
A weak person who is addicted to the gentle country and cannot extricate himself.
Vivid love, no matter how it is disguised, cannot hide the boiling desire, which is similar to the instinct of a beast and has no sense of beauty at all. Indulgent burning will only bring fatigue and boredom to both parties. Only by tasting the gentle taste of hesitation and the free and unrestrained emotional attachment can
Let each other's love be deep and lasting, and not fade with the passage of time.
After all, there are not many partners for extraordinary strong men.
Victor has many women, but none of them can attract him as deeply as Sylvia. In the process of chasing and conquering each other, Sylvia's gentle encouragement and hints of affection and ruthlessness are exerting a subtle influence on him.
Looking at Victor, he understood the difference between the weak and the strong, the boundaries between rationality and sensibility, and how to play different roles. He was able to face everyone with ease and became more charming.
Sylvia's blue eyes were as pure and distant as the sky, and Victor's charming mind quickly calmed down. He sighed: "Did you arrange Anna for me?"
"This is your own choice, I just respect your choice."
Sylvia smiled coquettishly and said: "I'm also curious, why do you want to protect Anna?"
"I want to actually participate in the affairs of Centaur Hill. As the lover of the Queen of Roses, I will always attract criticism..." Victor admitted generously, then shook his head and said: "Besides, a beauty like Odele can only ask softly.
, I couldn’t bear to see their mother and daughter separated from each other. I didn’t expect that the youngest son of the Earl and Countess of Terlandon would bear Anna’s fate.”
"What about me? Where about Odile and Ulena? And yourself?"
Sylvia smiled faintly and said: "As a noble, how can there be no price for enjoying the power and glory brought by the family? If the family cannot maintain intermarriage with high-blooded people, it will only face the dilemma of decline and extinction, just like Solim
Family. The only thing we can do is to show mercy and sympathy to our adopted children and let them feel the warmth of the family. Can you understand now why your father ignores you? He cannot protect outstanding children, he only hopes
You can easily integrate into the new family."
Victor nodded and muttered: "He should have sold me for a higher price... What do you think of 500,000 gold soles?"
Sylvia was startled for a moment, then giggled and said: "I won't give you a gold soll, I will snatch it from you."
Victor believed deeply in Sylvia's words. Katerina was snatched away by her, and he gave it away completely for free. Thinking about it carefully, Sophia and Catherine were the ones who were taken advantage of.
Sylvia's eyes turned and she added: "If you feel sorry for yourself... then give Ulena a child."
Victor snorted and changed the subject: "Why do I think you are deliberately suppressing Earl Terlanden?"
"That's what I mean." Sylvia nodded and said lazily: "Terlandon and Ulena stick to the rules and are unwilling to actively participate in the Joint-stock Chamber of Commerce. The Joint-stock Chamber of Commerce will evolve into the logistics system of the Grand Army.
If I don't give them a beating, Terlanden will sooner or later become an obstacle to the Grand Legion's strategy. Since they represent the family's traditional power, they must follow tradition and contribute an outstanding heir to the family."
"Of course, except for Anna and Elne, our York family does not have any heirs who are worthy of the Farul family. Not only does this family have golden knights, they also have the blood of the Naville royal family flowing through them."
"Okay, let's not talk about this." Sylvia kissed Victor gently on the lips, returned to her seat, and said seriously: "My dear, you have to understand that if the family inheritance is unstable, it will inevitably
It leads to internal strife, and we need to unite as one. Anna cannot challenge the status of Enbiser's lineage. Your and Sophia's children must marry Katerina's children, and their descendants will be the heirs of the York family."
Victor said distressedly: "I don't have a child yet, and I don't know if something is wrong?"
"Clement has used the magic of true seeing to observe your condition. He said that you are very healthy, there is only one possibility of not having children, and your elf blood is still being purified." Sylvia glanced at him, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
Qiao said: "You are not yet under age."
"This is really embarrassing..." Victor touched his nose and smiled bitterly.
Sylvia stretched out her hand to rub Victor's face, and said happily: "It's also worth looking forward to." After a pause, she continued: "Caitlin once lived in Kite Castle for a while, and she had a good personal relationship with Roland.
Roland loves the army and the Knights. Caitlina studied with her in the Royal Guards and the Dragon Knights. She has mastered a lot of practical military knowledge and has excellent commanding skills. I hope you can cooperate and improve together.
The Fang Legion and the Mercenary Legion establish a system of coordinated operations."
"I will try my best to assist her." Victor nodded slightly. He knew very well that his military knowledge was actually very shallow. He changed his voice and said, "I hope she and Eunbise won't have any feelings for me because of Anna's matter.
Mustard."
"If Katerina doesn't even have this kind of consideration, it only means that her structure is not enough to lead the family to prosperity." Sylvia's eyes were deep, and she looked Victor up and down, and smiled: "I believe, Kate
Lina will work hard to maintain a good relationship with you."
Sylvia did not mention Embither and only talked about Caterina, which shows that Embither has no status in her heart. The contemporary Duke of York is just the face of the family. Although Victor does not sympathize with Embiter, he still feels sorry for him.
Ordinary nobles feel sad.
Extraordinary knights stay young forever, and the marriage between ordinary nobles and them is destined to be a tragedy. Catalina stepped into the extraordinary realm and was able to give birth to a descendant for Enbither. She has proven her belief in protecting the York family. No one can do it again
He forced her to continue serving an ordinary nobleman. Now, Eunbise has no right to interfere with Katerina's interactions with anyone.
Jealousy will only bring disaster to ordinary nobles, and the church often chooses to turn a blind eye to it.
This is the privilege of the extraordinary knight, and it is also the reason why Victor stayed away from Sophia in the first place.
He was silent for a moment and asked: "By the way, do you want to go see Clement? He may wait for you to express your stance."
"Of course." Sylvia nodded and smiled confidently: "But it was just a courtesy meeting. A secret alliance like this requires no dialogue and no words. It only depends on the tacit understanding and actual actions of both parties. I will arrange it
For the refugees, the Pope sent trainee priests to set up schools to appease the people; I recruited mercenaries, and the Pope arranged for combat priests to help us train soldiers and inspire fighting spirit."
Victor couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you worried about the battle priest interfering with the command of the mercenary army? Sometimes, we have to order mercenary soldiers to perform missions that involve a narrow escape from death."
Sylvia laughed and shook her head: "If Clement didn't have this consciousness, he would not support the mercenary army. And our ultimate goal is to eliminate the weak and retain the strong, and transform the elite mercenaries into loyal vassal soldiers. Fight
Priests know this very well. They are more pragmatic than missionary priests and understand the meaning of sacrifice better. In order to save more soldiers and to let the lords bear the infamy, they will look on with cold eyes, remain silent or praise the bravery of the victims. "
Victor sighed and said, "I hope so."
Sylvia shook her head and laughed: "My dear, believe me, what the battle priest is best at is inciting the mercenary group to die. Otherwise, how could the priest's army survive thousands of years of orc war? The church cannot recruit mortals.
army."
Victor was stunned and said: "The mercenary group turned out to be created by the church?"
"It's all for survival." Sylvia responded calmly.
In the Silver Age, the relationship between the knight lords and the church was extremely bad. Refugees were fleeing in all directions and life was difficult. However, goblins and gnolls were particularly powerful in penetrating. The main army of the church had to fight against the orc tribe and could not take care of the small monster groups at the rear.
.It is inevitable for the church to train combat priests and call on refugees to protect themselves. This is where mercenary groups, large and small, come from.
Victor originally thought that the low-level priest was the Virgin, but it turns out that even the air in this world is poisonous to the Virgin.
In any case, this is a good thing. At least for the time being, you don’t have to worry about the church’s constraints on the mercenaries. The biggest stone in Victor’s heart fell, and he said half-jokingly: “My dear, I really want to be your rose.
knight."
Only when Victor joins the Knights of the Rose can he gain command of the Fang Legion. Instead of being like now, he can only undertake the logistic support work of the Grand Legion and indirectly affect the York family's military mobilization.
However, the independent lord's allegiance is to the king, and Victor and Sophia have special status. If he joins the Knights of the Rose, it will break the political balance that Gumbis has worked so hard to establish.
This was a change that Sylvia could not accept. She bit her red lips and said tenderly: "My dear, when we met for the second time, you were already my 'knight', and you will still be my knight from now on."
He is my only 'knight'."
The second time they met was at Rose Manor, and the two spent a romantic night together.
