The Girl He Dumped Becomes a Billionaire.

Chapter 10

This female Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Norsca has a great saying.

[You have to have both power and money. If you have both, then it's your opportunity, but it's also your challenge.]

Marianne knows that her gender will limit her journey to power; even her grandmother, who shares her name, faced a ceiling for female rulers the moment she ascended to the throne. That is, the limited military play of female rulers and the problems of power transition that come with childbearing.

Even the last queen of Obstar, Queen Mary, the last ruler of the Lorraine dynasty, had to rely on her husband to maintain her rule. This also led to an imbalance in the upper echelons of power, as well as the prioritization of male heirs in the law of succession to the throne.

After all, when it comes to decisions affecting the fate of nations, the safest choice is often the most popular.

Marianne is not the first heir to the Grand Duchy of Norsca or the Territory of Kalda, and does not turn heads in terms of physical fitness or magical talent, so she is well aware that her future is either to become a queen of a country, a lord or a female governor of a party.

However, reality tells Marianne that she has already lost the qualification to become a queen, so in order to have a prosperous life for the rest of her life, she has to become a rich female lord, and also to find a person who is bound to her interests, and can help her fight against those who covet her wealth at critical moments.

They are half-blood, so Lucius could never be Marianne's suitor, and their common threat to their interests is the female Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Norsca and legitimate son of the Earl of Kalda - Henry.Lorraine.Norsca-Dunava.

Unlike the brilliant Lucius and the relatively normal Marianne, the only legitimate son of the female Grand Duke of Norsca resembles the Count of Kalda in both appearance and mind, and has inherited the irascible nature of the female Grand Duke of Norsca's youth.

Suffice it to say that any nasty word you can think of is reflected in Prince Henry.

And Lucius and Marianne were no less bullied by Prince Henry when they were young, which made them realize that if they hadn't built up enough power before the death or abdication of the female Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Norsca, then Prince Henry would never begrudge them the faggot that was hacking at them.

"I met the Cardinal in charge of the South in Odin's palace ......" Marianne didn't have nothing to gain from her time in Odin's palace, at least compared to the Grand Duchy of Norsca, and Odin could undoubtedly make Marianne "Standing" higher: "He is vital to your position in the Order of Matar, so I invited him to dinner and mentioned him to Mother Superior."

Once things got involved with this female Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Norsca, then Lucius had to square his shoulders, "This female Grand Duke wants to support this Cardinal of the South in a fight with the Pope?"

"...... Do you think the Mother Superior will side with King Obstar?" Marianne snickered, "She hates my uncle ...... your own father more than the man I'm withdrawing from for the second time or the Pope."

Because the Pope's illegitimate daughter had replaced Marianne as King Canterlot's fiancée four years ago, it was tacitly assumed that the Pope had taken Canterlot's side in the conflict between Obstar and Canterlot.

It was also to resist the approaching Canterlot that King Obstar allied himself with Odin and then cut off Marianne's third marriage.

After all, a niece is no match for a real daughter.

Besides, King Obstar wasn't on good terms with his brothers, and had been the fiancé of this female Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Norsca.

Although this female Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Norsca had never announced who Lucius's father was, anyone with a brain understood that, excluding King Obstar, no one could have made Marianne's grandparents clean up the mess themselves and forced the out-of-the-world flirtatious Earl of Kalda to come back and take over.

Because the former Grand Duchess of Norsca, Marianne's grandmother, feared that after her death, Marianne's grandfather would favor his eldest daughter by his ex-wife, the current Grand Duchess of Bretagne, and would therefore be infringing on the interests of the Grand Duchess of Norsca, she had asked her best friend, Queen Mary of Obstada, to take care of her after her death. Queen Mary of Obstada to take care of her only daughter after her death, and also to fix a marriage between the present King of Obstada and the female Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Norsca.

The King of Obstad would not have refused to marry the female Grand Duke of Norsca.

After all, the female Grand Duke of Norsca, who gave birth to Lucius and Marianne, was an extremely rare heiress at that time, and possessed good looks and knowledge, as well as a mother-daughter relationship with Queen Mary, which could be regarded as an excellent choice for the Crown Princess of Obstada.

However, reality slapped everyone in the face.

The young and impetuous King of Obstad seduced the female Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Norsca, who was still a young girl, into bed, only to turn his back on her when she became pregnant and tried to marry a lesser nobleman's daughter, who had no beauty.

Despite Queen Mary's coercion and Prince Dunava's long-winded advice, King Obstar is unwilling to give up his lover, even to the point of threatening his parents with his life.

And in the royal family of Obstada at that time, the queen's second son was a homosexual devoted to the gods, and her youngest son was an uneducated moonbat.

Should we hand over our vast kingdom to them?

Queen Mary had no choice but to make her youngest son the Count of Kalda and then marry the female Grand Duke of Norsca, who had already given birth to Lucius, on his head to put an end to the scandal.

If Queen Mary hadn't acted quickly and swiftly to deal with the scandal.

Then with the once irascible nature of this female Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Norsca, she would definitely cut her ties with Obstar over this, and even help Canterlot or Odin to take down this kingdom that had made her feel incredibly humiliated.

After many years, the female Grand Duke of Norsca has become a qualified ruler, and has long since tempered her violent temperament, which allowed her to draw her sword against the Crown Prince, but that doesn't mean that she is going to be kind to the King of Obstar or do whatever he says to the Kingdom of Obstar.

As for Lucius ......

Although the female Grand Duke of Norsca loathed the child who humiliated her, she also understood that Lucius could not decide his own birth, and she should also pay for her own youthful mistakes. Therefore, mother and son have always maintained a low contact relationship, and even Lucius, after the most difficult childhood, has been able to correctly call his mother "the female Grand Duke", and has never mentioned to establish a father-son relationship with King Obstar.

In his opinion, a man who would risk his life against his own parents to break off his engagement with the female Grand Duke of Norsca could not care less about the future of Lucius, his illegitimate son.

Compared to that, he might as well rely on his half-sister.

At least Lucius knows Marianne inside out and has a stake in her.
