The Girl He Dumped Becomes a Billionaire.

Chapter 30

Though Dancil had a whole host of faults, his greatest virtue was his obedience, and he listened to his father very well. Besides, before his father received him to the Papal States, Dancier was a poor little man who was dependent on his sister.

The person who adopted Dancier's siblings was a distant relative of the Pope, an asshole who made Dancier "develop" a lot of bad habits.

"If I can't marry Marianne, then what can I expect from her?" Stepping out of the Pantheon, Dancier turned his face sideways, letting the sunlight coat his slender length with a metallic sheen: "What kind of reward would make me resist the temptation of a dukedom?"

"An army, and the power of the real thing." The Pope recalled his youth.

When he was only the personal secretary of the last Pope, he visited Queen Mary, who had "invited home" the Prince of Canterlot for tea, as an emissary of the Church.

The "Red Mary" who made the South tremble.

Under the splendor of the last ruler of the Lorraine dynasty, Prince Dunava, standing behind his wife, was only able to make his presence felt in the Dunava dynasty started by his son.

Of course, as far as historical endings go, Queen Mary and Prince Dunava were one of the few couples who were able to hold each other together until the end of their lives.

But the Pope doesn't think Dancier would want to be the man behind his wife, and those men who rely on marriage for their nobility aren't necessarily on the hunting side of the fence either. After all, they're all refined egoists, and it's not certain who eats who!

Not to mention that Marianne was the child of this female Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Norsca.

The rich and powerful Grand Duchess named her daughter after her most respected mother and mother-in-law.

A noble lady who has inherited the name of Queen Mary and this female Grand Duke of the last Grand Duchy of Norsca, Anna.Lorraine.Norsca ...... wouldn't be able to be withdrawn from marriage three times and still be on good terms with many personalities within the country of her former fiancé if she was just a waste of time indulging in ballroom dancing and the sound of compliments. Maintaining Good Relations.

"As far as social finesse goes, if Irena can match half of what Marianne can do, then I don't have to worry about her losing out on the Canterlot side." The Pope thought of his youthful, beautiful young daughter, and it was more of a headache than teaching his son, "Irena is more naive than you are, and it's a good thing she's marrying the comparatively conservative Seis, for if it had been any of Richard, Domitius (Odin's young emperor), or John (the legitimate firstborn of King Obstar), I couldn't close my eyes until Irena gave birth to an heir. "

"Do you just have to let Ariana marry the king?" Dancil did not approve of his father's obsession in this regard, "Seis of Canterlot is no good, and since he was able to send back the daughter of this female Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Norsca without a word of greeting, there will come a day when he betrays Aerina as well."

"That's why you need to hold onto this money tree of Marianne." The Pope intoned, "Always remember that you and Ariana are complementary existences."

"Especially after my death, your source of politics will be Aerina, who is married to Saez. And Aerina will have to rely on you, her brother, to maintain her position as queen." The Pope had long thought of the way out for the two children, so before Dancier set out, he specifically instructed, "If Richard tries to buy you off, no matter what kind of high price he offers, don't say yes."

"Especially on the premise that Marianne has extended her hand of cooperation, you'd better keep your distance from Richard." The Pope, who was afraid that Dancier would suffer a loss, tirelessly emphasized, "You still have a use for Marianne, but with Richard, it's a chicken rib that's tasteless to eat and a waste to discard."

"Marianne will have something for me even if she doesn't make an offer to you."

"But Richard is different."

The Pope still remembers the cold-hearted teenager who cut off the head of his father's favorite minister with his own hands on his first day on the throne, and then, with the handle of a beheading axe, rang the bell for the change of power.

"You have no use for him, so he will not hesitate to chop off your head."

It was the first time Dancil had ever seen his father so wary of someone.

And as the Pope and his son talked about Richard, King Solins, who was mentioned by them, was anticipating the Pope's reaction.

"It looks like I'm going to lose the Duchy of Britannia." Richard looked out the cloud-strewn window and let the cold wind, mixed with rain, lash his face, which was almost one with the moonlight.

Because there was no crown to accent it, the young king showed a slightly fragile beauty.

Chief Steward Peggy, who serves the Solins, remembers Richard as a child being dressed as a virgin of the gods by the Queen, who feared the untimely death of her only son.

Richard was undoubtedly the cutest at the time.

So much so, that the old king, who was prone to listening to slander, gradually distanced himself from his mentally manipulative mistress, thanks to Richard's soft childish words.

And after Richard became king, Master Peggy occasionally questioned whether the Richard of his memory was real. His ever-lowered, humble eyes looked as boldly as possible at the ruby ring on Richard's right hand.

The large stone had come from the invincible Capel the Great, and after Richard had removed it from his father's right hand, Master Peggy had seen Richard "wash" it clean with the blood of the old king's favorites.

"My fairest bride is about to leave me." Richard stroked the ruby ring on his right hand as Marianne's face came to mind.

"It's been ...... five years since we've seen each other? Or six years since we've seen each other." Richard had been a teenager when he'd gotten engaged to Marianne, and the other woman had been a few months shy of her seventh birthday, so Richard had communicated very little with his fiancée during the years Marianne had stayed at Solins' court.

But for what Marianne had done in just a year and a half, everyone around Richard was impressed with her. In particular, Madame Wantal, the governess who had raised Richard, showed the most dismay at Marianne's departure.

"If your mother were still alive, she would be very fond of Marianne of Calda," Mrs. Wantal said in a small voice of disapproval when Richard was determined to marry the female Duke of the Duchy of Britannia, "but it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing for the Princess of Calda to get out of here. "

There was a hint of prophetic nature in Madame Wantal's exclamation, "This cage of gold accumulates the ghosts of countless canaries."

"Marianne was the lucky one to escape, but the tragedy doesn't end there."

"Your Majesty ...... Your Majesty ......"

Chief Steward Peggy couldn't help but ask softly when she saw Richard staring out the window in a daze, "Are you taking an early night?"

"No, I'm going to check on the Queen." Returning to his senses, Richard rubbed his raw temples and forced his exhausted spirit to leave the window seat.

And as he changed his coat and prepared to travel to the residence of the female duke of the Duchy of Britannia, a herald disrupted his plans.

"Your Majesty, please summon the Patriarch to the palace." The herald officer whose broken hair in front of his forehead was dampened by the rain said as calmly as possible, "Her Majesty the Queen has returned to the embrace of all the gods, and the members of the council of the Duchy of Bretonia are about to receive the news of this female duke's death."
