"my wife?"

The Grand Duke was taken aback for a moment, and then said softly in his eyes: "In my heart, of course she is the most perfect woman in the world."

Helen who was at the side felt sweet when her husband praised her so much, and she made up her mind that she would do everything she could to help her husband get through the difficulties, even if she exposed her identity as a spellcaster to the world.

Mariana said with a smile: "It's too broad, I mean what is her heart? Is she good 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 good."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that he was being grabbed by the flame-like red boy. Although it is strange to use the word "pull" to describe it, the Grand Duke did feel that something was grabbed or bound at that moment. own soul.

After a few breaths, the feeling disappeared.

But the Grand Duke Cabre did not suspect that the witch in front of him was up to something, because based on his knowledge of the spellcaster—of course, these knowledges were obtained from his wife—the spellcaster had to carry out a spell before casting a spell. Meticulous preparations, such as spell-casting materials, runes, magic circles, and even the simplest ones, such as chanting a spell or making a few gestures, in short, there are a lot of them. But this lady Mariana came to Yinton's court for the first time, and it was impossible to arrange anything—of course the Grand Duke would not doubt that his wife would cooperate with him to prepare something in advance, even if she was his wife's teacher—and he didn't say anything. What strange words or strange actions, so he did not suspect Mariana.

Cabret attributed his strange feeling to the peculiar aura of Madame Marianne—an indescribable mixture of extreme beauty and mortal danger. There are also those rare red-eyed children-in fact, the Grand Duke has never seen such a childish look on other people when he is so old.

I only heard Marianne say: "Your Majesty, I can see from your attitude that deep down in your heart, you have actually eliminated the prejudice against us spellcasters, but there is one thing that seals you off." heart."

"What?" Cabret was curious.

"cowardice!"

"cowardice?"

Grand Duke Cabre was a little angry. Even if the other party was her elder, how could she slander a brave knight and just lord so much?

He took a deep breath and said, "Sorry, I don't feel my cowardice."

"No, Your Majesty the Grand Duke." Mariana said confidently, "It is precisely because of your cowardice that you dare not go against the prejudices of the world—even if you do not agree with such prejudices in your heart, you can only use [although I know very well] He is a spellcaster, but there are always some grievances deep in his heart that cannot be eradicated] to deceive himself, to anesthetize himself, so as to find the connection point between himself and the secular public.”

"Teacher Mariana!" Helen raised her voice to her tutor, and even she herself was surprised at how she dared to do so.

"Please don't slander my husband so much. He is a man with a noble soul and an honest heart, so he is not as miserable as you said."

"No, honey."

The Grand Duke reached out to stop his wife from defending him, and something seemed to be awakened in his heart.

"Teacher Mariana is right, I am indeed a coward, I am indeed a coward."

"When the church wantonly mutilated spellcasters in the name of witch hunting, I flinched, even though I knew in my heart that they were good people."

"When the fanatical crowd overwhelms reason with ignorance, I recoil even though I know in my heart that their actions are unjust."

"Even now when rebelling against the Church, there are other guises, but they dare not call out their most injustice - the unreasonable mutilation of innocent spellcasters."

"I have deeply violated my chivalry. I should have upheld justice and protected the weak, but I pretended again and again that I was also blinded by worldly prejudices, and finally even believed myself."

The Grand Duke Cabre 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 tightly to her husband, trying to calm him down.

"I know, you have your difficulties. What you are facing is too powerful, and it is not what you—no, we—can fight against."

Although Helen changed her words in time, she had already hurt her husband.

Mariana spoke in a timely manner: "Your Majesty, now is an opportunity."

Cabrell looked up at her. "Chance?"

"Yes, a chance to do what is right in your heart, a chance to undo your regrets."

The Archduke looked at her, the look in his eyes hoped that she could speak more clearly.

Ms. Mariana's eyes sparkled, "In the name of the country, publicly recognize the existence of spellcasters, and at the same time admit that they enjoy the same rights as ordinary people, so that spellcasters can walk freely under the sun without Fear of being inexplicably arrested and mutilated."

"Enabling spellcasters to wander the streets, drink in taverns, sit in theaters, and...join your armies without hiding their identities."

"In short, what ordinary people can do, they have the power to do."

With the foreshadowing just now~lightnovelpub.net~ the Grand Duke was not too surprised by Marianna's suggestion.

On the contrary, Helen asked in doubt: "If you do this, won't Yin Dun be attacked by other countries?"

In her mind, even the coastal kingdoms and the Church united to attack Indon.

"Now is the best time!" Mariana explained: "The high-pressure policy of the Jiaowan Church has generally aroused a rebellious mentality in the coastal countries that have suffered from it, from the ruler to the bottom. It’s like an adult telling a child not to do something, but the child wants to do it in a fit of anger. When the war is over—no matter which side wins—the two sides ease up, and the rebellious psychology will disappear. It will take hundreds of years for it to appear.”

"After Yinton was the first to recognize the legal status of the caster, the allies were definitely shocked, but the caster never did anything that harmed the interests of these countries, and the church actually oppressed them. It is self-evident what choice they will make."

"Especially, when the caster is able to assist the Grand Duke to win the battlefield, facing an enemy like the church, those countries will most likely follow Yin Dun's move and recognize the status of the caster to attract them into his own army."
