If Claire was the lord, he wouldn't have to grovel. After all, in a feudal country, the lord has the right to autonomy, self-government, and the right to build his own army.
It is also very difficult for the royal family to question the lord. But Claire is only a Marquis. He has a private army, but no territory and autonomy. Almost everything he owns is subject to the constraints of the royal family.
At this moment, Billy finally showed some expression.
The curved lips were pursed, with a slight sneer. This kind of scene where a loyal subordinate is robbed of a woman by the boss sounds so interesting.
But Billy could also read what Prince Bowens was thinking.
I didn't know Celia had such a strong single-player strength before. Knowing now, the situation is different. In the eyes of Prince Bowens, Celia should have surpassed Claire in importance. A formidable hitter, and a quality offspring breeder.
That's why this happens.
As for Claire, he obviously likes Celia, but for the revival of the family, he has to rely on Prince Bowens, so he can only endure this humiliation.
After Celia listened to the words, she smiled lightly, her smile was like a flower, and her smile was very beautiful and charming.
Claire thought she agreed, and her face darkened. Not to mention him, even Billy thought so.
After all, she is a queen. This position is definitely much better than a powerless archbishop with only one temple.
In fact, the archbishop is not bad, but the problem is that Celia's background is too poor, and she has not established enough network of contacts and influence.
And she followed Bowens and became her princess. Once Bowens succeeded in seizing power and became queen, she would be under one person and above ten thousand people.
This should be the highest honor a woman can get.
Of course, Frans said otherwise. After all, the country of France has always had the tradition of a queen in power. But here is different. There are only male kings here. If a woman dares to take the throne, she will be besieged by all the nobles.
After laughing, Monica turned serious.
Claire's handsome face became darker and darker, while the corners of Billy's mouth turned up even more.
"Go back and tell your prince not to drink too much." A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Monica's mouth: "Who does he think he is? A kid who was driven out like a lost dog, even himself You can't even guarantee your safety, and you actually want me to be his woman?"
Under the surprised gazes of the two people on the opposite side, Monica continued: "Drinking and dreaming is a good thing, but it's not right to treat it as a reality."
Monica's tone carried the murderous look of a golden horse and an iron horse. Even a fool could tell that she was really angry.
Claire's face was brightening, and he said happily, "You really don't want to be a queen?"
"Okay, you can go."
Monica turned to leave. Claire looked at her back and laughed, very happy.
Billy was a little surprised: "I really can't see that she still has such a backbone."
Claire said rather dissatisfied: "Earl Billy, what do you mean by that? Celia has always been such a strong woman, who is not afraid of the rich and powerful, and is not greedy for flashy staunch women."
Billy chuckled again, which made Claire very unhappy.
"Speak clearly, Earl Billy." Claire stood in front of Billy and roared, "I won't allow you to insult Ms. Celia."
"Then what are you going to do?" Earl Billy still smiled contemptuously: "Are you going to duel with me here?"
Claire is stuck. The two of them were originally hostile, because due to the unspoken rules of the nobility, it was impossible for Billy to face his opponent openly, so he dared to stand by this man's side.
But if he took the initiative to initiate a duel, the other party would happily agree, and then with a complacent expression, stab himself, an idiot, with a sword.
Billy watched him shake his head and walk out of the temple.
Claire's happy thoughts just now disappeared immediately after being manipulated like this, and instead she felt as disgusted as if she had eaten two catties of Xiang Xiang.
After walking a few steps, Billy stopped and said, "Selia's essence, like ours, is a typical aristocratic character. In order to achieve the goal, she can do anything and use any means. If the price Enough, she can even give her body to beggars."
Claire clenched her fists: "She is not such a woman."
"She is such a woman." Billy said lightly, "Because I am also such a man. If the price is enough, I can sell my ass to anyone. I am the same kind as her, so I can see it at a glance." Find out what she is thinking!"
Claire sneered: "Didn't you say before you came that Celia would definitely agree to this matter?"
"The her before, even a few days ago, is very likely to agree." Billy walked out of the temple door, saw the bright sky, and said: "But today's her is completely different from her before. Her anger It's real, and her contempt is real. She's not what she used to be, she's a different person."
Billy looked a little confused.
Claire smiled triumphantly from the side: "It's just that you have misjudged the person. Perhaps, you have never really understood Celia at all."
"I've lived for so long, and I've played with not a thousand women, but at least eight hundred." Billy snorted, "The Celia before was just a normal, vicious woman, capable and ambitious. , but still did not exceed my expectations. I can no longer see her clearly now."
Claire chuckled, feeling that Billy was bragging.
"This is the second person I can't see clearly."
Claire was a little curious: "Then who is the first one?"
"Selia's male favourite." Billy said with a frown. "It's said so, but no matter how I look at it, that man doesn't look like a male favourite. He has a very unique temperament. How could such a man It's a male pet!"
Billy was silent for a while, and continued: "If people like him are male favorites, then we should be beggars and slaves."
Claire found it funny: "Your perception is wrong, Earl Billy. Although Li Lin is very strong, he is still just a mercenary in essence."
Billy looked at Claire pitifully: "You are not worthy of fighting with me just because of your eyesight. Do you know why I haven't targeted you again recently?"
"Prince Bowens is interceding?" Claire felt that there was only this answer.
For example, shaking his head: "Because Celia seems to want to protect you. I am not afraid of Celia, but I can't see through Li Lin, so I let you go, otherwise you think you can survive with your little private soldiers." By when?"
Billy shook his head and left the temple.
Claire stood where she was, her complexion was very exciting, it turned red and then dark, as if she had opened a dyeing workshop.
