Chapter 505 Intervention 4
“My wife?”
The Grand Duke was stunned at first, and then said with soft eyes: “Of course she is the most perfect woman in the world in my heart. ”
Helen on the side felt sweet when she heard her husband praising her so much. She made up her mind to do everything she could to help her husband get through the difficulties, even if she revealed her identity as a spell caster to the world. No matter what.
Mariana smiled and said: "This is too broad. I mean what is her character? Is she kind or evil, is she loose or mean?"
Cabret replied sternly: "If Helen is evil, then I can't imagine anyone else in this world who is kind."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt like he was being struck by the flames. Chitong was grabbed. Although it was strange to use the word "pull" to describe it, the Grand Duke really felt that something was grabbing or binding his soul at that moment.
After a few breaths, that feeling disappeared.
But Grand Duke Cabret did not suspect that the witch in front of him was up to something, because based on his knowledge of the spell caster - of course these knowledge were all obtained from his wife - the spell caster Before casting a spell, careful preparations must be made, including spell-casting materials, runes, magic circles, and the simplest one requires reciting a spell or making a few gestures. In short, there are a lot of them. But this is the first time for this lady Mariana to come to Eton's court, and it is impossible to arrange anything. Of course, the Grand Duke will not doubt that his wife will cooperate with him to prepare anything in advance, even if she is his wife's teacher. And there is no Saying strange words or doing strange actions, therefore, he did not suspect Mariana.
Cabre attributes his strange feeling to the unique temperament of Ms. Mariana - an indescribable temperament that mixes extreme beauty and fatal danger. There was also a pair of rare crimson eyes - in fact, the Grand Duke had never seen this kind of eye color on anyone else in his age.
I only heard Mariana say: "Your Majesty, I can see from your attitude that deep in your heart, you have actually eliminated your prejudice against us spellcasters, but there is something that closes you. "What?" Cabret was curious.
"Cowardly!"
"Cowardly?"
Grand Duke Cabret was a little angry. Even if the other party was her elder, how could she slander a brave man like this? Knights and just lords?
He took a deep breath and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't feel my cowardice."
"No, Your Majesty." Mariana said confidently: "It is because of cowardice that you dare not talk to Fight against worldly prejudices - even if you don't agree with this prejudice in your heart, you can only continue to deceive yourself with self-suggestions such as "Although I understand the spell caster very well, there are still some grudges that cannot be eradicated deep in my heart". To anesthetize yourself, to find the connection point between yourself and the secular public."
"Teacher Mariana!" Helen raised her voice to her mentor, even she was surprised at how she could do it. Dare to do this.
"Please don't slander my husband like this. He is a man with a noble soul and an honest heart. He is not as unworthy as you say."
"No, dear."
The Grand Duke stretched out his hand to stop his wife from defending him. Something in his heart seemed to be awakened.
"Teacher Mariana is right, I am indeed a coward, I am indeed a coward."
"When the church wantonly killed spellcasters in the name of witch hunting, I flinched Although I know in my heart that they are good people."
"When the fanatical people use ignorance to overwhelm reason, I shrink back, although I know in my heart that their actions are unjust." "Even now. When resisting the church, they also used other pretexts, but dared not point out their most unjust behavior-the unreasonable murder of innocent spellcasters."
"I deeply violated my own chivalry. I should have upheld justice and protected the weak, but I pretended again and again that I was blinded by worldly prejudices, and in the end I even believed it."< br>
Grand Duke Cabret was emotional, tearing his hair, with an extremely annoyed expression on his face.
"Helen, I don't deserve your love."
"No, my dear." The princess held on to her husband tightly and tried to calm down his mood.
"I know that you have your difficulties. What you are facing is too powerful. It is not something you—no, we—can fight against."
Although Helen changed her story in time, it already hurt her husband.
Mariana spoke at the right time: "Your Majesty, now is an opportunity."
Cabra raised his head and looked at her, "Opportunity?"
"Yes. , an opportunity to practice the true justice deep in your heart, an opportunity to eliminate your regrets."
The Grand Duke looked at her, hoping that she could speak more clearly.
Ms. Mariana's eyes sparkled, "In the name of the country, publicly acknowledge the existence of spell casters, and at the same time recognize that they enjoy the same rights as ordinary people, so that spell casters can walk freely under the sun without having to Fear of being inexplicably arrested and mutilated."
"Let casters roam the streets, drink in taverns, sit in theaters and watch plays, and...join your army without hiding their identities." br>
“In short, they have the right to do anything ordinary people can do.”
With the foreshadowing just now, the Grand Duke was not too surprised by Mariana’s suggestion.
On the other hand, Helen asked doubtfully: "If we do this, won't Eton be attacked by other countries?"
She even imagined the coastal states and the church uniting to attack Eaton.
“Now is the best time!” Mariana explained: “The high-pressure policy of the Corner Bay Church has caused widespread agitation in the coastal countries that have suffered greatly, from the rulers to the people at the bottom. A rebellious psychology is similar to an adult telling a child not to do something but the child is angry and insists on doing it. When the war is over - no matter which side wins - the two sides have relaxed, this rebellious psychology will disappear, then this I don’t know if I would have to wait hundreds of years for a good opportunity to appear.”
“After Eaton was the first to recognize the legal status of the spell caster, the allies were definitely shocked, but the spell caster never did. They have committed actions that harmed the interests of these countries, but the church is actually oppressing them. It is self-evident what choice they will make."
"Especially when the caster can. After assisting the Grand Duke in winning a victory on the battlefield, facing a powerful enemy like the Church, those countries will most likely follow Eaton's lead and recognize the status of spell casters in order to recruit them into their own armies."
