Chapter 656

The guard was respectful.

Sophia frowned slightly:

"I am an imperial nobleman, and even the superior lords can't restrain my actions at will, let alone the Rosens are not the jurisprudential lords of wells Please get out of the way. "

With that, she pretended to move on.

However, the next second, the guard in the hands of the spear but in front of the girl.

There was no expression on their faces. Although the tone was still respectful, there was something in the respect that could not be refused:

"Miss Sophia, this is also for your safety, after all From the legal point of view, the wells family has also followed the border Bo rebellion. "

"Nonsense! Now that I stand here as the first heir, I prove wells' loyalty. He knows it best that I am going to see the Duke. "

Sophia said angrily, showing the power of the mage.

However, the two guards guarding the door did not waver.

They have the same breath and belong to the silver rank. The strong breath diffuses, but their voice is still firm:

"sorry, Miss Sophia, this is the Duke's order, but You just can't walk around at will. If you have any need, please let us know, and we will meet any of your needs. "

"Then I want to take a walk outside and bask in the sun, can't I?"

The girl's voice turned cold.

"I'm sorry, you can't just walk around. If you want to bask in the sun, you can do it in front of the window. This room is specially selected by Mr. Scott. It has excellent lighting and can also get warm sunshine in the room."

The guard shook his head and replied.

"What's the difference between this and house arrest?! I'm not a prisoner of the Rosens

Sophia said angrily.

After listening to her, the guard hesitated for a moment, made a slight salute, and said firmly:

"Miss Sophia, please understand our difficulties. We are only carrying out the Duke's orders."

Sophia's eyes showed a trace of anger as they met the determined eyes of the guards.

At this time, the dispute in front of the door finally attracted the steward of the Rosens

"What happened? Noisy? "

It's the old housekeeper of the Duke, Baron Scott.

Looking at Baron Scott dressed as an old gentleman, Sophia calmed her anger and said patiently:

"Baron Scott, what does this mean? Why restrict my personal freedom? "

Baron Scott gave a kind smile and then apologized:

"I'm sorry, Miss Sophia, this is also the Duke considering your safety, after all Many of the nobles who have escaped from maple leaf collar these days are also spies of Frontier brothers. The Duke should also consider the safety of all parties... "

"I'm not a spy!"

Sophia said angrily.

"I know that you are not a spy, of course. You are an aristocrat of the Empire, which was confirmed and confirmed by the Duke. However, you should also understand that it was during the war that your identity was too sensitive after all. Even if the Duke didn't care, many nobles in the West would talk about it behind their backs..."

"After all, the Duke is not the Lord of the Western leader, he is only stationed here to command the army, and all kinds of materials still need the help of local nobles, so Please understand. "

Baron Scott explained gently.

Then he said with a smile:

"of course, this time will not be too long. When our army's material collection is finished, the Duke will naturally let go of your restrictions, and then Maybe you will be the honorary commander of our army and give a speech at the oath party. "

Hearing this, Sophia fell silent.

She looked at the gentle old housekeeper, then at the expressionless guard, frowned and asked:

"so, how long do I have to wait here?"

"It won't be too long. It will be three or two days in a short time, and it won't be more than a week at most."

Baron Scott replied respectfully.

"A week? Do I need to be locked up in this room for another week? Do you know how many changes will happen to maple collar in a week?! I want to see the Duke, and I will speak to him myself

The girl said indignantly.

"You've been worried about it. The strength of the maple leaf collar has been greatly improved since the magic power of the mainland has risen, and the frontier uncle himself seems to have broken through the legend, so This war needs to be considered in the long run. "

"It was only a week, and it had no effect on the war. The Duke speculated that this rebellion It's likely to take three months to six months. "

Said Baron Scott, shaking his head.

Looking at the old housekeeper's resolute attitude, Sophia suddenly felt a burst of fatigue in her heart.She let out her momentum and sighed:

"I see. I'll endure for a few more days."

"If you can understand, I will send more maids to take care of you and meet your needs."

Baron Scott had a happy smile.

After failing to get out of the house, Sophia continued to return to her room.

In a short time, a few more respectful maidens were sent by the baron to take care of the girl.

However, looking at the Rosens' maid, Sophia was a little disappointed.

She is simple, but she is not stupid. In addition to taking care of herself, I am afraid these maids also have the intention of monitoring themselves.

No matter what Baron Scott explains, there is no doubt that she is now under house arrest by the Rosens.

At this time, she didn't know that it was wrong for her to ask for help

However, thinking of the promise made by Duke Rosen and the long history of the Rosens, Sophia felt that such a famous family should not break its promise. After all For these ancient nobles, the most important thing is reputation.

Relying on this only belief, despite her anxiety and dissatisfaction, Sophia finally stayed in the room with patience.

……

For the next few days, Sophia was still unable to leave the empty room.

Not only that, the girl was acutely aware that after her first outburst, the guards outside the room were greatly strengthened.

Even in the garden outside the window, the patrol guards turned several times.

"So worried about my escape..."

There was a trace of irony in the girl's heart.

She was indignant, but helpless.

Unconsciously, five days passed by like this.

For five days, Sophia failed to step out of the house and was almost isolated from the outside world.

She had asked the guards and maids for information outside, but they did not know whether they did not want to talk to the girl too much, or they did not know at all.

Not only that, but even Baron Scott, the old housekeeper of the Duke's family, did not appear a second time after meeting Sophia on the first day.

It makes the girl feel like a forgotten prisoner.

Of course, it is impossible to be forgotten, and even to return. The Rosens certainly attach great importance to her.

After that, the number of guards was doubled for four days I don't know if it was Sophia's delusion, as if the guards and maids were more respectful to her.

And after the sixth day, the girl finally ushered in a different face.

It was a lady dressed in aristocracy. She looked thirty or forty years old. Wearing a fashionable mink coat, she was accompanied by a dozen maids to Sophia's room.

"Are you miss Sophia? What a beautiful woman! It's no wonder the Duke is very fond of you... "

"I'm Viscount Abraham, and the Duchess asked me to help you pick out the dress for dinner."

She said enthusiastically.

"Dinner? Dress? "

Looking at the row of ladies holding their skirts, Sophia was slightly stunned.

"Yes, yes, you are the protagonist of the banquet tonight! What color do you like? Blue? Red? violet? I think your appearance is as elegant as an elf. Maybe the pure white that the elves like is more suitable for you... "

The Viscount Abraham spoke warmly, calling on the maid to change Sophia's clothes.

Sophia was not pleased with the Baroness's flattery; on the contrary, her attention was completely absorbed by the party.

"I'm the main character of the party? Is the army finally ready to go? "

Sophia asked expectantly.

"The army is going?"

There was a trace of bewilderment on the Viscount's face.

"Isn't it a vow feast?"

The girl was slightly stunned.

The Viscount shook her head, and then there was a flattering smile on her face:

"of course not. It's your introduction dinner. The Duke will introduce you to the nobles who come to the morning star city tonight."

A formal introduction to the dinner? This time?

Sophia is in a fog.

However, viscount Abraham's next words made her fall into the ice:

"Congratulations! He was taken in by the Duke and became Lord lucaz's betrother! With the help of the Rosens, you may become the youngest female elector in the whole empire in the future

"Engagement? When did it happen? I've never promised it! "

The girl was shocked.

You're kidding!

She is the only heir to the wells family. How can she marry the Rosens?

Different from iris Kingdom, the noble of the Holy maniyah Empire attaches great importance to the inheritance of family blood. Even the branch families of a certain clan will try their best to retain the blood of their own branch.For the only female heirs, generally speaking, only from the lower nobility or excellent ordinary people to choose a way to marry men!

"You don't know? How could that be possible! Now the whole morning star city knows that you are the future Countess of Salles

Said Viscount Abraham in surprise.

The Earl of Salles was the eldest son of Duke Rosen, the fiefdom of lucaz von Rosen.

Although the dementia prince, who was nearly 30 years old, was deprived of the title by Prince Rosen, he was still granted a count territory.

Of course, it's just a small piece, perhaps not as big as the Welles zeroland.

Sophia turned pale at the thought of her well-known dementia.

At this time, she finally understood why Duke Rosen wanted to put himself under house arrest

I'm afraid he intended to force himself to marry the Duke at the beginning!

If she, as the only heir, marries Lucas, the eldest son of the Duke, the Rosens will have all the claims of the wells family, and the future border barons can be easily put into their hands!

As for the wells family

I'm afraid there will be no wells family in the future.

And even if she will become a female elector, I am afraid she will be a puppet of the Rosen family, with no freedom to speak of!

After thinking about everything clearly, Sophia was filled with great regret and strong anger.

She couldn't believe that Prince Rosen would dare to do this. She could not believe that Prince Rosen would not dare to do so. She could not believe that Prince Rosen had the courage to announce the marriage contract unilaterally and forcibly!

"No, I didn't agree! I want to see Duke Rosen! This is illegal. It is invalid if it is not recognized by the church. "

Sophia said angrily.

With that, she ran to the door, but was soon stopped by the guards.

"Lord Rosen, let me go! He has no right to deal with my marriage! "

The girl said angrily.

"What happened? So noisy? "

Just as Sophia was furious, Baron Scott's familiar voice came.

The girl turned and saw the old housekeeper of the Duke's house standing in the corridor with a kind-looking old man.

Sophia recognized that it was Santis, the Fiesta bishop of the eternal church stationed in the western region, and also the chief bishop of the Western Diocese of the eternal church.

In front of her eyes, she threw away the guards' spears and came to the two men.

Then she saluted the old man and said:

"Sophia von wells, have met the bishop of Santis."

With that, she took a deep breath and was ready to ask the bishop for help.

All marriages in the Empire need the blessing of the church to be legal. As long as she explains the situation to the church, she can be free!

In any case, never attend the dinner party, otherwise To be publicly announced by the Rosens on social occasions, even if she denies it, will become a fact!

"Monseigneur Santis, I need your help

Sophia said excitedly.

However, bishop Santis waved his hand and stopped the girl's words.

And his next sentence completely sank Sophia's mood to the bottom:

"Miss Sophia, I have not yet congratulated you on becoming a member of the Rosen family. May the father bless you..."

His face was kind, but his words made the girl look astonished.

"No I'm not. I'm not going to make a marriage contract with the Rosens! "

She said indignantly.

"Miss Sophia, you're joking. It's something that even the church has witnessed and what you want. Do you want to go back on it?"

Baron Scott, on the side of the bishop, frowned and said in a slightly harsh voice.

Sophia was shocked.

Looking at the stern old housekeeper, she could not have imagined that she was the amiable old man a few days ago.

The bishop of Santis also said solemnly:

"Miss Sophia, the marriage that has been blessed by the church, even the engagement, is sacred and inviolable. Please speak carefully, so as not to arouse the anger of the gods!"

Looking at Baron Scott and bishop Santis' duel, watching the guards and maids around her coldly watching, Sophia's mood was completely downcast.

At this point, if you don't understand that the Duke of Rosen has entered into the relationship between the eternal church and completely deceived her, then she is too stupid.

However, looking at the always sacred and detached bishop should collude with the aristocrats, the girl's heart said it was not disappointed or indignant.

"Is this the great nobleman of the Empire? Is this the just and holy eternal Church... "

She burst into laughter.www.novelhold.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
