"What's so surprising? Steele told you a long time ago, right?" Sevigny looked calm. "I am no longer the Queen of Lampali Kingdom, so there is no need to continue to hide this matter. In fact, I should have told you this matter earlier, but I have delayed it until now. Speaking of which, in fact Also worried."
Xu Yi looked at Sevini blankly and could only subconsciously ask: "What are you worried about?"
"I'm worried you won't admit it." Sevini looked directly at Xu Yi. "I am certain that Raymond is my and your child, because I have only had such close contact with a man like you in my life. But you don't know, with your character, you will definitely be suspicious, right?"
Xu Yi remained silent.
Indeed, even now, he is not completely sure that Raymond is really his and Sevigny's son.
Although in the cooperative research between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Elf Tribe in the past few years, there has long been a blood relationship identification method based on soul magic - essentially a deep blood connection, which can detect parent-child relationships, but Xu Yi always cannot Dragging Raymond to do this appraisal with him, he could never be sure.
Seeing the look on Xu Yi's face, Sevini sighed softly and continued: "Xu Yi, our relationship gradually became estranged. In fact, it has something to do with this, right?"
Xu Yi looked at Sevini and wanted to admit that there was indeed a relationship, but he couldn't help but nod.
After clues revealed that Raymond was most likely his and Sevigny's child, Xu Yi had some prejudices against Sevigny at that time.
In his opinion, the reason why Sevigny would take drugs and have sex with him was to have a child who was biologically related to him.
In this way, this child will definitely become the king of the Lampali Kingdom in the future, and Xu Yi will definitely take more care of him because he is his own child, and thus take more care of the Lampali Kingdom.
This has to be said to be a very common manifestation of scheming, and Xu Yi can also understand why Sevigny did this.
But he didn't like this approach very much.
After roughly determining this point through private investigations, Xu Yi gradually became alienated from Sevigny.
Of course, this is not the main reason.
"Our estranged relationship is mostly because of our different positions." Xu Yi shook his head. "You are the queen of the Lampali Kingdom. You must consider the Lampali Kingdom in everything you do. As the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I must also consider the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in everything. Different positions lead to different opinions. Conflicts. It's a natural thing to happen. I don't want us to be just friends in the end, so it's better to keep our meetings as business-like as possible."
"What now? You are no longer the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and I am no longer Her Majesty the Queen of the Lampali Kingdom. Can we continue to be ordinary friends as before?" Sevini asked.
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "If I really didn't want to, Steele wouldn't have brought you here at all, would he?"
"Hey, Xu Yi, it took me a lot of effort to persuade Sevigny to come here to see you. If you don't thank me, do you still want to blame me?" Steele never knew where he was. came out.
"How could I blame you? It's too late to thank you." Xu Yi laughed. "Sevigny is one of the few good friends I have left. Now I have the opportunity for us to sit and chat together and relive the past days. That is the best thing."
"Do you think so too?" Sevini smiled. Turning his head to look around, he let out a long sigh: "Actually, after I got here, I realized that I really woke up too late. The life here is so relaxed and comfortable. If I had given the throne to Raymond earlier, I would have It’s time to enjoy such a relaxed life like you and Steele.”
"By the way, Sevini, I haven't asked yet, why did you suddenly decide to hand over the throne to Raymond?" Steele asked curiously.
Xu Yi also looked concerned.
He originally thought that Sevigny was most likely to be in charge of the Lampali Kingdom like Her Majesty the Queen of the British Empire on Earth. Until the end of his life.
And Prince Raymond may have the same chance as the tragic prince on earth, who could not inherit the throne even after being the crown prince for decades.
Unexpectedly, Sevigny suddenly decided to abdicate and handed over the throne and all the power of the Lampali Kingdom to Prince Raymond.
"It's not sudden." Sevigny shook his head. "Actually, I had this idea as early as when Raymond got married. Over the years, I have been training Raymond to get him more involved in political affairs and decision-making, just to allow him to take over smoothly. And Now, I think it’s time to pass the throne to him. Isn’t this normal?”
"No, Sevini, I understand you. Even if you have had this idea for a long time, you would not have made such a sudden decision if it had not been for some stimulation." Xu Yi said with certainty.
Sevini was silent for a moment and smiled bitterly.
"Well, Xu Yi is probably the only one left in the world who knows me best. Yes, I was indeed stimulated. And this stimulation... is also related to you and Steele."
Xu Yi and Steele were stunned: "What does it have to do with us?"
"Ask your good daughter Freya." Sevini smiled. "If she hadn't come to me and told me that Raymond had different opinions from me on promoting the space program, and had complained privately that I was too stubborn and made him hesitate to do many things, how could I have suddenly come up with this idea? Woolen cloth?"
Xu Yi and Steele were even more stunned.
"Freya said these things to you?" Steele looked slightly angry. "How could she come up to you and talk like that! It's so outrageous!"
"No, after I thought about it carefully, I think what she said makes sense. Now that I have left the Lampali Kingdom to Raymond, I can relax and do whatever I want. You see, I am running here now Come to see Xu Yi." Sevini looked relaxed, but didn't care at all.
After saying that, she turned to Xu Yi.
"Xu Yi, Freya doesn't seem to want to live a peaceful life. You have to be mentally prepared."
Before Xu Yi could speak, Steele frowned: "What do you mean by that?"
Xu Yi stopped Steele who was questioning him, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I know. This daughter's character has been like this since she was a child. It would be strange if she would be content. Of course, with the current situation in Sainz Continent, being content may not be It’s a good thing, isn’t it?”
"That's right." Sevini nodded slightly. "So I handed over the Lampali Kingdom to Raymond, and let young people like him and Freya deal with the current chaos in the Sainz Continent."
# # #
It is no exaggeration to say that Sainz's continent is in chaos.
Although the Kingdom of Lampali has completed its conquest of the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj, the follow-up work is far from over.
Now half a year has passed, and some resistance groups still appear in the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj from time to time, disrupting the peace of the original Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj, and making the Kingdom of Lampali very worried about this.
However, in comparison, the situation faced by the Lampali Kingdom is already extremely peaceful, and the situation in other parts of the Sainz Continent is only getting worse.
Southeast corner of the continent.
The Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom's offensive in the past two years has been going smoothly. Not only did they conquer the capital of King Chino in one fell swoop, they easily occupied most of the territory of the Kingdom of Chino. They also continued their offensive in the north, and soon almost all of them were The entire vast area in the southeastern corner of the continent was under control.
However, after that, the rest of the countries in the southeast corner of the continent formed a resistance alliance and united the countries in the east of the continent to fight against the United Kingdom of Nozdormu.
In recent years, the United Commercial Kingdom of Nozdormu has been in a stalemate with the resistance forces in these countries, and wars have continued in the southeastern corner of the continent and in the eastern part of the continent.
In the central part of the continent, since the two empires of Candela Empire and Malo Empire officially started war, the war has spread to almost more than half of the Sainz Continent.
In the past year alone, the armies of the two empires had engaged in more than four large-scale battles with a total number of more than 100,000 people, and there had been more than a hundred other small-scale battles.
Countless small countries were affected. The flames of war not only spread across the borders of the two empires, but also extended to the entire central part of the continent, covering half of the continent.
However, the two empires had a tacit understanding. They never really mobilized the whole country to enter a full-scale war. They just maintained a fighting posture and fought from time to time, but they never stopped their own development.
Affected by the war, the development of the magic industry on the Sainz continent has inevitably slowed down, but various military-related industries have achieved remarkable growth.
Especially in the field of military magic machinery, the two empires would come up with new military magic machinery every once in a while, showing another breakthrough in their own technology.
At first, this time interval may take one or two years, but in the past two years, this time interval has even only taken a few months.
Also because of the pressure of the war, the two empires and other countries on the mainland are more thirsty for magic machinery-related technologies, and their investment in research and development has also increased.
If it can be said that in the past ten years of peace, the technology related to the magic industry industry in Sainz Continent has been developing rapidly, then in the recent years of war, Sainz Continent has ushered in a new magic technology giant. explode.
On Earth, historians often say when analyzing history that war is the biggest driving force for the development of science and technology.
This is perfectly demonstrated in this world.
But no one knows what the final development will be.
Sevini didn't know, and Xu Yi didn't know either. (~^~)
