Chapter 2370: Hidden Ambition

~9 min read 1,795 words

"Ah~"

With a scream coming from the stage, the classic opera "The Jester's Wedding," performed by the "Golden Dawn" opera troupe famous in the Randell River Valley region, finally opened after the heroine who played the maid found a corpse in her home.

Emilia was very interested in watching the stage with binoculars, although there were opera performances in the academy city of St. Byron, the level was ultimately not as good as here. And the little princess was holding a teacup with a heavy heart, occasionally turning her head to look at the wall.

Lu Lu Weiya, who was sitting on the long sofa with her, kindly reminded:

"That room has at least three means to ensure that sound and light and shadow will not be observed by the outside world. You can't hear the sound."

Although this is not the Yodel Palace, Ajelina's sitting posture and the way she holds the teacup still have the temperament of a princess. She pursed her lips and nodded, finally unable to help asking:

"Xia De... like this, aren't you angry? Or, um, jealous?"

After speaking, she hurriedly guaranteed:

"I am definitely not provoking the relationship."

If Princess Lei Lei Qianya knew that she had said such things in front of Lu Lu Weiya, even if she was already seventeen, Princess Lei Lei Qianya would still lift her skirt and spank her. After all, if Lu Lu Weiya produced a "sense of crisis" or realized that she had to restrain Xia De because of this sentence, Princess Lei Lei Qianya would be the one who suffered the most.

"Ajelina, you still don't understand what we are doing."

The purple-eyed girl turned to look at the ignorant red-haired princess, and those purple eyes put great pressure on the latter. As Lu Lu Weiya's level gradually increased, the soul injury of "the other me" gradually improved because of Xia De, and the terrible power hidden deep in her soul was also gradually being controlled by her again:

"Xia De's dedication is worth him getting these. And I told him from the beginning that I trust him, and I am willing to let him do things I shouldn't have agreed to. Now it seems that he has done quite well all along. The Witch Council and the two major human kingdoms have now been controlled by his influence."

She left time for Ajelina to think. For this kind of childish girl, Lu Lu Weiya had the patience to "teach" her. After all, Iluna once half-truthfully mentioned that Ajelina Cavendish might be the "Chosen of Chaos":

"Do you have anything else you don't understand?"

Ajelina rarely talked to Lu Lu Weiya alone. In the little princess's heart, this witch diviner was a person who surpassed her sister and stood with her great-aunt Jia Lin Na Cavendish.

She pursed her lips and thought again:

"I still don't understand very well, it's like if I have a very good pony, I wouldn't let others..."

After speaking, she realized that this metaphor was not very good, and hurriedly changed her words:

"I wouldn't share it with others."

"Perhaps, you just think that is your pony. But the fact is, you can't control him at all."

Lu Lu Weiya pointedly said, but before Ajelina thought more deeply, she said again:

"Margaret has this qualification. The Anjou family is different from yours. Among the three princes and two princesses of this generation, the youngest prince is not yet an adult, and the eldest princess, the only sister, has already married.

Among the remaining three throne candidates, the Second Prince, William Anjou, handled the Stonemasons' Association in the Randall Valley poorly and has already fallen behind; the First Prince, Samuel Anjou, performed quite well handling the Green Lake negotiations with Margaret, so Margaret's only opponent is him."

Ajelina is not uninterested in politics, so she knows what Lu Lu Weiya wants to say:

"Are you saying Margaret could become the Queen of Carsonrick? So keeping a close relationship with her is actually a good thing for Xia De? But she is a Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi; can a Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi also wear the crown? The Church won't allow it."

The smile on Lu Lu Weiya's face made the red-haired little princess feel very bad.

"I said just now, the Anjou family is different from yours. In the case of only five direct bloodline candidates, excluding the underage and married eldest princess, if the remaining two have absolute reasons not to be king, and 'Lion Lyon' must choose Margaret, will the church really fight to stop it?"

Emilia, who was watching the opera while listening to the conversation behind her, only felt that the story behind was more "exciting" than the one on the stage. At the same time, she suspected that the two behind had forgotten that she was still here. These conversations and these palace secrets and political conspiracies were simply not things that a simple and cute underage elf student like her should hear.

"Xia De's life is so exciting, will he become a king in the future?"

For Xia De's sake, she shouldn't be "silenced" for hearing secrets.

"The church will at most limit the time Margaret is king, requiring her to abdicate in a fixed year."

Ajelina made a judgment softly, and Lu Lu Weiya smiled again:

"And now it's not a peaceful era, Ajelina. If the current state continues, the turmoil of the entire Old Continent is about to begin. Remember, the pursuit of the church and the truth of politics is never development, but stability. And it won't be long before Xia De and his forces can formally show their influence from the darkness to the world. If multiple Chosen support Margaret to be king, do you think the church will oppose it?"

"Then is our family the same, sister, is it possible..."

She widened her emerald eyes, the seventeen-year-old princess's pupil color was exactly the same as her sister's.

"The situation is more complicated, after all, your family has too many options."

Lu Lu Weiya said, and looked at Ajelina with interest:

"She herself is a Chosen, the church will probably worry about many things, and letting the Chosen hold power will affect the control of the orthodox church over the secular world. Speaking of which, that crown, the crown inherited by your family, aren't you interested in it?"

The little princess opened her mouth slightly, not knowing what to say. In her view, with her sister in front, this was not her turn:

"I..."

"You don't want to shoulder the responsibility?"

"No, of course not, if the responsibility really falls on me... I, I just never thought about it... being king..."

Ajelina lowered her head again. She had indeed never thought about this matter. At least as long as Princess Lei Lei Qianya was still there, she didn't dare to think about it. But now that Lu Lu Weiya said it, it was as if a spark had dripped onto the grassland that hadn't rained for a long time.

That spark could not directly ignite the entire grassland, but the smoldering fire had already formed.

Ajelina Cavendish unconsciously bit her lip, and then looked at the wall she couldn't see through:

"If I can become a queen... sister, great-aunt, Lu Lu Weiya, will they allow me..."

The carefully hidden ambition sprouted again. Of course, what she showed was just sitting obediently on the sofa and continuing to drink tea.

Lu Lu Weiya didn't continue to speak, but picked up the binoculars belonging to her on the tea table with a smile:

"If she still doesn't understand what she wants like this, I can't help it."

The purple-eyed girl sighed in her heart, and the voice belonging to her sounded in her heart:

【Ajelina Cavendish has always known what she wants. She is very good at hiding her ambition, and sometimes she can even deceive herself.】

"Yes, this is a quality that qualified politicians and ambitious people must have. I am quite curious, if she hadn't met Xia De, and Princess Lei Lei Qianya hadn't met Xia De, could she understand what she wanted by herself?"

The "she" in her ear smiled. Although the voice was gentle, there was a feeling of inexplicable melancholy:

【If Princess Lei Lei Qianya Cavendish hadn't met Xia De, most of her energy would have been spent on solving the problems with Dorothy Louise and gaining more power. In this way, Ajelina Cavendish would be more important to her. She needs someone to assist her in completing these things.

And once she contacts power and supernatural power too much, that little princess will sooner or later understand that she also has the qualification to obtain

The phantom of the long-haired Luvia appeared beside Luvia, placing a hand on her shoulder, though no one could see her.

"Yes, it is indeed possible. But since there is Xia De, Rextia doesn't need to worry about her and Dorothy's affairs, and because Xia De greatly eased her relationship with Galina, the power she wants is also coming to her smoothly... Xia De's arrival has truly made everything different."

The phantom-like long-haired girl did not speak again, but like Angelina just now, looked at that wall.

A slight look of worry appeared on her face; she also didn't know what those three "Death" divination cards from a few days ago meant.

The opera that night lasted until eleven o'clock, and when the opera ended, Margaret, with a glowing face and holding Xia De's arm, finally saw Luvia again.

The simple elf girl only felt that her complexion was much better, but Angelina noticed that although Margaret's clothes were the same style as before, they were clearly a new set. And her hair was a bit damp, as if she had just washed it.

She could certainly imagine what had just happened, but she pursed her lips and said nothing, the flame in her heart still burning.

It was getting late. Margaret was protected by Miss Sylvia's followers, and the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe would also send people to escort her, so Xia De just sent Luvia and the others back, then returned to Tobesk with Little Mia, who was already anxious to go home.

Holding the cat, he walked up the stairs alone, listening to the creaking sound of the wooden stairs. Pushing open the door, in the bright and warm second-floor living room, the smiling red-haired Duchess and the blonde writer stood up together to welcome him.

The warmth of home is always the best comfort after a busy day, and for an outsider who can never return to his hometown, No. 6 St. Derand Square and the place where they are is his eternal home.
