Chapter 822, Questions and Answers (Part 2)
Margarita's appearance does look a little old. She wore a pair of red half-framed glasses, her long black brown hair was tied up and fixed with hairpin, and was wearing a dark black robe and a dark green floor-dress. Compared to a few years ago, Margarita's face seemed to have more wrinkles. Headlines, crow's feet and nasolabial folds had appeared on her face. Only her deep eyes and calm expression remained unchanged: "Tell me, my disciple."
The young mentor was also a great beauty, Veronica thought with some complexity.
"Since its establishment, our original intention is to protect the interests of magic, maintain the existence of magic, and carry forward the power of magic." Veronica naturally knew the standard answer, and she whispered: "As for the ultimate goal, it is to build a country completely controlled by wizards, our own wizard empire."
"Standard answer." Margarita nodded, and the female speaker shook her head again: "So, Veronica, have you deviated from the original intention of the establishment of our Garland Parliament and the path to the ultimate goal!? Can I regard what you do as a betrayal!"
"No." Veronica was also calm, and she shook her head: "The ultimate goal is not inconsistent with what I do now. Mentor, we must be down-to-earth. The best choice at the moment is to go out independently and become a vassal of Ryan."
"A vassal is not a good way to establish a wizard empire, Veronica." Margarita's face was a little sarcastic and playful: "Are you willing to be your Majesty Ryan's vassal, and be his chief female courtier? Not even a wife?"
"What should I use to fight with Mrs. Suliya? Behind her are the great nobles of the entire Knight Kingdom. Even Ryan's identity as a competitor to the throne and the claim of Duke Musilon are all from marriage with Mrs. Suliya. How do I fight with her?" Veronica complained a little in her tone: "It's good to be like this, at least Mrs. Suliya didn't drive me out."
"Is that right? Tell me, Veronica, are you willing to do this? Do you think you are satisfied with this?" Margarita was still very calm, even to the point of being stern and serious: "Be a vassal? The chief female courtier of the royal family? What should we do with our goal?"
"It was just the highest goal." Veronica was a little confused about what Margarita wanted to say, so she simply made it clear: "If the highest goal alone is our Majesty Catalin has achieved it, she already has a country of her own. If you say it in a narrow sense, mentor, you have not become the chief wizard of the Imperial Royal Royal, no matter how I say it, I have become the chief female courtier."
"Ha~ you are still so sharp." Margarita sneered and nodded slowly: "It's great to know how much ability you have and how many things you do. That's right, as you said, building a wizard empire is only our highest goal. What does the highest mean? It's the ultimate and most extreme goal, but we all know in our hearts that the real model of our Jialan witch is actually mass-producing female courtiers, marrying those noble lords, as mentors, magic consultants, and even critics, to expand our influence."
"Yes, I have also thought about it many times. This model of our Jialan Parliament could not have been possible to establish a country independently." Veronica nodded, and the Jialan Witch was a little surprised: "Teacher, since you know so well, why do you still ask me?"
"Because I'm afraid you don't know." Margarita narrowed her eyes: "I know you, my disciple, you are competitive, you never give up, and you always want to be the first. Over the years, you have suppressed many of your opponents, including Teresa, and even Aurora and Carellona. I'm just worried that you don't know how to advance and retreat, and don't know how to be in a sacred state. Can a man like Ryan be controlled by you, a witch in the Sanctuary? He is so outstanding and so dazzling. In twenty years, there are few women attracted by him? I'm just afraid that if you don't understand like the little wild cat who protected food, sooner or later, Ryan will sweep you out!"
"He won't, I believe Ryan, he won't do that." Veronica retorted subconsciously, and the witch Jialan shook her head repeatedly: "He can't drive me out of his court."
"Yes, Ryan won't drive you out of his court. After all, you are his first woman, but he can cancel your status as the chief female courtier and cancel your vassal. He arranges you in his court to warm the bed for him. This is not to sweep the floor. Guess if you lose power one day, will Ryan deal with you like this?" Margarita sneered: "Why didn't I be the chief female courtier for His Majesty Ludwig to establish the Jialan Parliament? Do you still understand? Let me tell you, the first one is that men don't have a good thing and are unreliable. The second one is that as a ruler, ruthlessness is the most important quality, and sometimes, he can't make a decision on how to deal with you."
Veronica's face became ugly. Although the witch Jialan was unwilling to admit it in her heart, she knew that Margarita was right. If she really lost power, Ryan would definitely not kill her or exile her, but it was very likely to lock her up and turn her into a cage canary!
"Teacher, what do you mean..." Veronica decided to listen carefully to Margarita's words.
"What I mean? What I mean is that the ultimate goal of our Jialan Council is to build a wizard empire. This thing is used to shout slogans. It is OK to inspire the enthusiasm and enterprising spirit of those witch apprentices. Yes, but don't take it seriously. You will be the leader of the branch immediately. You must be clear about your positioning, that is, who do you think of Ryan? What is your use to him? What can you help him? You must think about these questions clearly, otherwise you will have conflicts with him sooner or later in the future."
"I understand." Veronica quickly lowered her head. Margarita knew that she had indeed listened to it. The female speaker was actually very clear. Veronica was a woman who was very sensible and knew how to manage interpersonal relationships. Her appearance and talent were also the best. Generally speaking, this kind of woman did not need reminders, but Margarita still felt it was necessary because Veronica's status is different now. After she went to Brittania, she was not as good as she had her in the parliament, and someone had supervised and guided her.
"..." Veronica's face gradually paled. She looked at Margarita, as if she had known her mentor for the first time today. Her long legs wrapped in flesh-colored ultra-thin jacquard pantyhose could not stop trembling. The witch Jialan suddenly felt that all her thoughts were invisible in front of the mentor.
"Furthermore, once the balance is broken, one side is strong and completely occupying the situation means no opponents and no supervision. Look at Kislov, look at His Majesty Katarin, she and her Ice Witch Sisters will control the entire kingdom, but what has the kingdom become in their hands? Can the wizards manage a good kingdom, the ancient wizard empire, and the current Kislov, have given us the best answer."
"Whether Ryan or Ludwig, they are excellent leaders, and they are also ruthless people. They will allow us to occupy a place in his court and allow us to be very important to them. But Veronica, you must be clear that they will not give up the northerners only with the southerners. They will give us the advantage, but never try to completely defeat your opponent and appear to be the dominant ones. In that case, the flood will flood the hills." Margarita stared at Veronica tightly, and her voice became dry and torn: "Don't make my mistake, I lost to Lord Tigris like this! Finally, I was forced to leave his court and establish the Garland Council!"
