Chapter 505 Intervention 4

"My wife?"

The Grand Duke was stunned at first, then said with a gentle look in his eyes: "She is of course the most perfect woman in the world in my heart."

Helen, who was standing by, felt sweet in her heart when she heard her husband praising her so much. She made up her mind to do everything she could to help her husband through the difficulties, even if it meant exposing her identity as a spellcaster to the world.

Marianna said with a smile: "This is too broad. I mean what is her character like? Is she kind or evil, lenient or mean?"

Cabre replied seriously: "If Helen is evil, then I can't imagine who else in the world is kind."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that he was being pulled by the flaming red pupil. Although it was strange to use the word "pull" to describe it, the Grand Duke did feel that something was grabbing or binding his soul at that moment.

After a few breaths, that feeling disappeared.

But Grand Duke Cabre did not doubt what the witch in front of him was doing, because according to his understanding of spellcasters - of course, these understandings were obtained from his wife - spellcasters must make careful preparations before casting spells, such as spell materials, runes, magic circles, and the simplest ones must recite spells or make a few gestures. In short, there are a lot of things. But this Lady Marianna came to the court of Eaton for the first time, and it was impossible for her to arrange anything - the Grand Duke certainly would not doubt that his wife would cooperate with him to prepare anything in advance, even if she was his wife's teacher - and she did not say anything strange or do anything strange, so he did not doubt Marianna.

Cabre attributed his strange feeling to the unique temperament of Lady Marianna - a mixture of extreme beauty and deadly danger, an indescribable temperament. And the rare pair of red eyes - in fact, the Grand Duke has never seen this color of eyes on other people since he grew up.

Marianna said, "Your Majesty, I can see from your attitude that deep in your heart, you have actually eliminated your prejudice against us spellcasters, but there is something that has closed your heart."

"What is it?" Cabre was very curious.

"Cowardice!"

"Cowardice?"

Grand Duke Cabre was a little angry. Even if the other party was considered his elder, how could she slander a brave knight and a fair lord like this?

He took a deep breath and said, "Sorry, I don't feel cowardly."

"No, Your Majesty." Marianna said confidently, "It is precisely because of cowardice that you dare not go against the prejudice of the world - even if you don't agree with this prejudice in your heart, you can only deceive yourself and numb yourself with self-suggestions such as [Although I know the spellcaster very well, there are still some grudges in my heart that have not been eradicated], so as to find the connection point between yourself and the secular masses."

"Teacher Marianna!" Helen raised her voice to her mentor, and even she was surprised at how she dared to do this.

"Please don't slander my husband like this. He is a man with a noble soul and an honest heart. He is not as bad as you say."

"No, dear."

The Grand Duke reached out to stop his wife from defending him. Something in his heart seemed to be awakened.

"Teacher Marianna is right. I am indeed a coward. I am indeed a coward."

"When the church wantonly persecuted spellcasters in the name of witch hunting, I retreated, although I knew in my heart that they were good people."

"When the fanatical people overwhelmed reason with ignorance, I retreated, although I knew in my heart that their behavior was unjust."

"Even now when I rebel against the church, I also use other pretexts, but I dare not point out their most unjust behavior - the unreasonable persecution of innocent spellcasters."

"I deeply violated my own chivalry. I should have upheld justice and protected the weak, but I pretended again and again that I was also blinded by worldly prejudices, and finally even believed it myself."

The Grand Duke of Cabray was emotional, tearing his hair, and his expression was extremely annoyed.

"Helen, I don't deserve your love."

"No, dear." The Grand Duchess held her husband tightly and tried to calm him down.

"I know you have your difficulties. What you are facing is too powerful. It is not something you - no, we - can fight against."

Although Helen changed her words in time, she had already hurt her husband.

Marianna said at the right time: "Your Majesty, now is an opportunity."

Cabre looked up at her, "Opportunity?"

"Yes, an opportunity to practice the true justice in your heart, an opportunity to eliminate your regrets."

The Grand Duke looked at her, hoping that she could speak more clearly.

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!

Ms. Mariana's eyes sparkled. "In the name of the country, publicly acknowledge the existence of spellcasters and acknowledge that they have the same rights as ordinary people, so that spellcasters can walk freely under the sun without fear of being arrested and killed for no reason."

"Let spellcasters walk on the streets, drink in taverns, watch plays in theaters, and... join your army without hiding their identities."

"In short, they have the right to do what ordinary people can do."

With the foreshadowing just now, the Grand Duke was not too surprised by Marianne's suggestion.

But Helen asked doubtfully: "If we do this, won't Eaton be attacked by other countries?"

She even imagined the situation in her mind where the coastal countries and the church joined forces to attack Eaton.

"Now is the best time!" Mariana explained: "The high-pressure policy of the Horn Bay Church has caused a general rebellious mentality among the rulers and the people in the coastal countries that have suffered greatly from it, just like when an adult tells a child not to do something but the child insists on doing it out of spite. When the war ends - no matter which side wins - the two sides ease up, this rebellious mentality will disappear, and it is unknown how many hundreds of years it will take for such a good opportunity to appear."

"After Eaton was the first to recognize the legal status of the spellcaster, the allies were certainly shocked, but the spellcaster had never done anything to harm the interests of these countries, while the church was actually oppressing them, so it is self-evident what choice they would make."

"In particular, when the spellcaster can help you, the Grand Duke, win on the battlefield, facing a powerful enemy like the church, those countries will most likely follow Eaton's move and recognize the status of the spellcaster to recruit them into their own army."
