Chapter 2416 Hidden Ambition
"Ah~"
As screams came from the stage, the classic opera "Rigoletto's Wedding" performed by the famous Randall Valley opera troupe "Golden Dawn" finally began after the heroine who played the maid discovered a dead body in the house.
Emilia was watching the stage with a telescope with great interest. Although there were opera performances in the college city of St. Byrons, the level was not as good as here. The little princess was holding a teacup with a heavy heart, and occasionally turned her head to look at the wall.
Luvia, who was sitting on the couch with her, kindly reminded her:
"There are at least three methods in that room to ensure that the sound and light cannot 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, and finally couldn't help asking:
"Shad. Aren't you angry about this? Or, uh, jealous?"
After saying that, he hastily assured:
"I'm definitely not trying to stir up trouble."
If Leicia knew that she had said such words in front of Luvia, even if she was already seventeen years old, Leicia would still lift her skirt and spank her buttocks. After all, if Luvia had a "sense of crisis" or realized that she had to restrain Shade because of this sentence, Leicia 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. The purple eyes made the latter feel more pressured. As Luvia's level gradually increased, the soul damage of "another me" gradually improved because of Shade, and the terrible power hidden deep in her soul was gradually regained by her:
"Shad's efforts deserve all this. And I told him from the beginning that I trust him and I am willing to let him do things that I shouldn't have agreed to. Now it seems that he has been doing a good job. The Witch Council and the two human kingdoms are now partially controlled by his influence."
She gave Ajelina time to think. For such a naive girl, Luvia had the patience to "teach" her. After all, Iluna once half-truthfully mentioned that Ajelina Cavendish might be the chosen one of "Chaos":
"Is there anything you don't understand?"
In fact, Ajelina seldom talked to Luvia alone. In the little princess's heart, this female fortune teller was someone who surpassed her sister and stood on the same level as her great-aunt Carina Cavendish.
She pursed her lips and thought for a moment:
"I still don't quite understand it, but if I had a really good pony, I wouldn't let anyone else go no matter what."
At this point, I realized that this metaphor was not very good, and quickly changed my words:
“I will never share anything with anyone.”
"Maybe you just think that's your pony. The truth is, you can't control him at all."
Luvia hinted at something, but before Ajelina could think more deeply, she said:
"Margaret is qualified. The Anjou family is different from you. Among the three princes and two princesses of this generation, the youngest prince is still a minor, and Margaret's only sister is already married.
Of the three remaining candidates for the throne, the second prince William of Anjou had been at a disadvantage in handling the Stonemasons Guild in the Randall Valley; the eldest prince Samuel of Anjou had performed well in handling the Green Lake negotiations with Margaret, so he was Margaret's only rival."
Ajelina was not unconcerned about government affairs, so she knew what Luvia wanted to say:
"You mean, Margaret could potentially become the queen of Carsenrick? So it's actually a good thing for Shade to be close to her? But she's a ring wizard, can a ring wizard wear a crown? The church won't allow it."
The smile on Luvia's face made the little red-haired princess feel bad.
"Like I said before, the Anjou family is different from you. With only five direct bloodline candidates, excluding the underage and married princess, if the other two of the other three have reasons why they cannot be king, and Lion must choose Margaret, will the church really try its best to stop him?"
Emilia was watching the opera while listening to the conversation behind her. She felt that the story behind her was even more "exciting" than the one on the stage. At the same time, she suspected that the two people behind her had forgotten that she was still here. These conversations, palace secrets, and political conspiracies were not something that a simple and lovely underage elf student like her should listen to.
"Shad's life turned out to be so exciting. Will he become king in the future?"
For Xia De's sake, she should not be "silenced" just because she heard the secret.
"The most the church could do was to limit the time Margaret could reign, requiring her to abdicate in a fixed year."
Ajelina made a judgment quietly, and Luvia smiled again:
"Besides, this is not a peaceful era, Ajelina. If the current situation continues, the entire Old Continent will be in turmoil. Remember, the pursuit of the church and the truth of politics is never development, but stability. And it won't be long before Shad and his forces can officially show their influence to the world from the darkness. If many of the chosen ones support Margaret to become king, do you think the church will object?"
"Is it the same in our family, sister? Is it possible?"
Her emerald eyes widened, the seventeen year old princess's eye color was exactly the same as her sister's.
"The situation is more complicated. After all, your family has too many options."
Luvia said, looking at Ajelina with interest:
"She is a chosen one. The church may be concerned about many things. Letting the chosen one take power will affect the control of the Orthodox Church over the secular world. Speaking of which, that crown, the crown that your family has inherited, aren't you interested in it?"
The little princess opened her mouth slightly, not knowing what to say. In her opinion, with her elder sister in front, it was not her turn:
"I"
"You don't want to take responsibility?"
"No, of course not, if the responsibility really falls on me, I just never thought of becoming king."
Ajelina lowered her head again. She had never thought about this matter before. At least, as long as Leicia was still alive, she would not dare to think about it. But now that Luvia had said it, it was like a spark dripping on the grassland that had not rained for a long time.
The spark could not directly ignite the entire grassland, but a smoldering fire had already formed.
Ajelina Cavendish bit her lips unconsciously, and then looked at the wall that she couldn't see through:
"If I could become the queen, my sister, my aunt, and Luvia would all allow me."
The ambition that had been carefully hidden sprouted up again. Of course, all she did was sit obediently on the sofa and continue drinking tea.
Luvia did not continue to speak, but smiled and picked up the telescope that belonged to her on the coffee table:
"If she still doesn't understand what she wants, there's nothing I can do."
The purple-eyed girl sighed in her heart, and her own voice rang out in her heart:
[Ajelina Cavendish always knew what she wanted. She was very good at hiding her ambitions, and sometimes she could even deceive herself.]
"Yes, this is a necessary quality for a qualified politician and an ambitious person. I am very curious, if she had not met Shade, and if Leicia had not met Shade, would she be able to figure out what she wants if she relied on herself alone."
The "she" beside my ear was smiling. Although her voice was gentle, there was also an inexplicable melancholy feeling:
[If Leicia Cavendish had not met Shade, most of her energy would be focused on solving the problem with Dorothy Louisa and gaining more power. In this way, Ajelina Cavendish would be more important to her, and she needed someone to help her accomplish these things.
Once the little princess is exposed to too much power and extraordinary strength, she will sooner or later realize that she is also qualified to obtain all of this.
The shadow of Luvia with long hair appeared on the side of Luvia and placed her hand on her shoulder, but no one could see her.
"Yes, it is possible. But now that Shad is here, Resia doesn't need to worry about her and Dorothy's affairs. And because Shad has greatly eased the relationship between her and Carina, she can get the power she wants easily. Shad's arrival has really made everything different."
The phantom-like girl with long hair did not speak again, but looked at the wall just like Ajelina just now.
A hint of worry appeared on her face. She didn't know what the three "death" divination cards from the past few days meant.
The opera that night lasted until eleven o'clock, and after the opera ended, Margaret, with a blushing face and hugging Charles' arm, finally saw Luvia again.
The simple elf girl only felt that her complexion had improved a lot, but Ajelina noticed that although Margaret's clothes were the same style as before, they were clearly new. And her hair was a little wet, as if she had just washed it.
Of course she could imagine what had just happened, but she pursed her lips and said nothing, the flame in her heart still burning.
It was already late, and Margaret was protected by Miss Sylvia's followers, and the Golden Dawn Opera Company would also send someone to escort her, so Shad only sent Luvia and the other two back, and returned to Tobesk with Mia, who was anxious to go home.
Holding the cat, he walked up the slightly dim stairs alone, listening to the creaking sound of the wooden stairs. He opened the door and saw the bright and warm living room on the second floor. The smiling red-haired duchess and the blonde writer stood up to greet him.
The warmth of home is always the best comfort after a busy day, and for outsiders who can never return to their hometown, No. 6 St. Teresa's Square and where they are are his eternal home.
