Chapter 32 Passion with Bright Moon of North
Led by Lady Sophia to a spacious room, Roger did not see Marquise Marino. He looked around but did not find anything special about the room.
’Is there some secret passage where treasures are hidden? Madam is going to reward me!’ Roger thought to himself and suddenly felt happy.
"Marino will die soon, and then the Guel family will have no heir." Madam Sophia turned her back to Roger, her eyes fixed on the oil portrait on the bedside, which was of the founder of the Guel family, the great Eamon Guell.
"According to the laws of the empire, once a noble dies without an heir, all fiefs will be returned to the royal family, and the imperial city will send another noble to take over the fief. These days, the academy has sent many people to inquire about Marino’s news. Of course, I know what they are thinking."
"Do they want to inform the royal family to send someone to take over Kunlun?"
"Yes." Sophie turned around and said firmly, "I will never allow Kunlun to be handed over to other nobles. The ruler of this city must be named Guel, and only Guel!"
That momentum, that determination, is worthy of being called a "Blood Angel". Among all the women Roger had seen, even the powerful Matar did not have such momentum.
"But the Marquis..."
"So, I need your help."
"How can we help? Kill people from the academy? That’s impossible. People who kill people from the academy will be wanted and hunted by the entire Lyon Empire." Roger scratched his head.
"Don’t be silly, how could I be so stupid as to let you be a killer?" Madam Sophia chuckled and walked forward leisurely. "I mean, the laws of the empire stipulate that if nobles do not want to lose their fiefdoms, they must have an heir, but this heir does not clearly state that it must be a born person or a child in the belly."
