Chapter 113 Alexia: I've exposed myself, sister, you can do whatever you want
One is that Alice knows too little about Claire and is skeptical about her loyalty.

Another thing was that Alice felt a little guilty about accepting such kindness.

Seeing Alice's tangled expression, Alexia couldn't help but ask: "Are you worried about me, elder sister?"

"I know too little about Claire." Alice's answer seemed unrelated to what Alexia asked, but in fact, not answering was a tacit agreement.

"As for Claire, you can get to know her slowly after she becomes your personal guard. As for me, since I have put the application in front of my sister, it proves that I don't care. After all, I just gave one of the transfer rights of the two knights to my sister." Alexia said with a smile.

"There's another one?!" Alice felt a little numb when she heard that.

"Well, I heard from Claire that after the blood moon, the Dark Tower intends to form a mercenary group. She asked me on behalf of Elizabeth if I would be willing to support it. If you are willing, I can mobilize the mercenary group that will be formed later to fight for me at a critical moment." Alexia continued.

After all, this matter cannot be hidden from Alice, so it doesn't matter if she tells it in advance. After all, Alexia believes that her sister will not ruin her plan.

"Alexia, the conditions offered by the Dark Tower should not be limited to this." Alice instinctively felt that the benefits must be more than this.

"Yes!" Alexia nodded, but did not continue.

Alice was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but she did not ask any more questions. Instead, she said, "Alexia, about the power of the lawless city..."

"My dear sister, others can do it, why can't I? Even though I have never thought of competing with you for the throne, I also need strength to increase my voice. I don't want what happened to Geno Gulifi to happen again." Alexia's voice was a little gloomy when she said this.

"Okay, if you insist, I will support you." Alice did not persuade her too much. After all, she knew that the secret society of "Thirteen Night Swords" headed by Prad Dakuaiken, known as the Ruler of Shadow of the Kingdom of Midgar, was inextricably linked to the Lawless City.

This is the same in almost all countries. It can even be said that the lawless city is actually the darkest gathering place in the deepest part of each country.

"Thank you for your support, sister!" Alexia said with a smile.

"Alexia, is Claire's only condition to be conferred a title of nobility?" Alice asked Alexia.

After all, the conditions Claire has offered so far are far too generous, and a title that basically allows one to support oneself cannot be used as a bargaining chip.

"I can't hide it from my elder sister!" Alexia said with a sigh.

"So what does she want?" Alice asked seriously.

"She wants Sid to be my fiancé!" Alexia then stated the purpose of her leading the topic.

"What, this is her purpose? No, I absolutely..." Alice almost jumped up when she heard it.

Unfortunately, before she could finish her words, Alexia blocked her mouth with her fingers.

"My dear sister, I don't feel wronged at all. Although Sid's background and status are not good, apart from these two points, I am very satisfied with everything else. If possible, I would like to hold an engagement ceremony with Sid after graduation." Alexia said seriously.

"Alexia" Alice looked at her sister's serious expression when she heard this, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Only now did she finally understand what Alexia had said before.

It is true that not everyone can afford to set the conditions for the fiancé of the second heir to the kingdom.

Some people may think that as long as Alice, the first heir, does not have any problems, then Alexia, the second heir, will never have a chance to succeed and naturally will not be that important.

But the reality is not like this.

Let's put it this way, even if King Midgar abdicates in a few years and lets Alice inherit the throne, Alexia will be promoted from the second in line of succession to the first in line of succession.

And this status will last for many years, until Alice leaves behind an eldest son or daughter, and when she grows up to a certain age and is confirmed to have the ability to inherit, Alice will make him or her the so-called Crown Prince or Crown Princess, clarifying his or her status as the first-line heir.

In other words, until that time comes, Alexia's status as the first-in-line heir will not be shaken in the slightest.

And if something unexpected happens to Alice during this period, it will be Alexia's turn to ascend the throne.

Therefore, even if Alice gave birth to children, as long as the first-line heir status of the prince or princess was not truly confirmed, Alexia's right of inheritance would always be ranked first.

In other words, Alexia's status as first-in-line heir could span more than ten years.

He is definitely second only to the king, so the position of the princess's fiancé who has the potential to become the king is absolutely of great importance.

Take Geno Gulifi for example. Once he successfully marries Alexia, the target of his kidnapping will definitely change from Alexia to Alice.

If he was even more ruthless, he could even make the reigning King of Midgar die of illness, thus achieving his goal of controlling the Kingdom of Midgar behind the scenes.

Precisely because of Alexia's special identity, her status as fiancé is the target pursued by many nobles.

"My dear sister, you also know that after Geno Gulifi disappeared, many nobles have been ready to make a move around the list of candidates for my fiancé, and some have even already started. But I don't like any of these people, or to be more blunt, I don't want to be involved with these ambitious guys." Alexia said very seriously at this moment.

"Alexia, there's no need to do this." Alice couldn't help but say with pity.

"My dear sister, I chose Sid because I like him and I don't want to affect you because of the marriage. To be honest, I have given myself to Sid. If you don't support me, you can either kill Sid and then we will both wait to be killed by Claire in revenge, or I will just die accidentally." Alexia blew herself up in anger.

After all, after becoming a woman, she could still hide it a little while staying in the academy, but after returning to the palace, it would be basically impossible to hide it from those shrewd eyes.

So Alexia had long foreseen that as time passed, there would be a lot of rumors surrounding her.

That's why she would take this opportunity to win the support of her sister Alice, and it would be best to find a fiancé before rumors spread.

After all, engagement can take place after graduation, but the spot for a fiancé doesn’t have to wait until then.

"Alexia, why are you doing this? I'm not as fragile as you think!" Alice was very sad after hearing this.

After all, in her opinion, her sister didn't care about herself so much and even committed serious mistakes, mainly because she didn't want to be affected by her.

"My dear sister, what happened to Geno once is enough. It must not happen a second time. Only by doing this can we put an end to the evil thoughts in those people's hearts." Alexia shook her head. After all, it is easier to dodge an open attack than to guard against an arrow from the dark.

"Alexia, as long as you make up your mind, I will definitely support you, but you also know that those people will not give up so easily." Alice said.

"Even after all this, the other party is still not sure about giving up, which proves that they are ambitious. They don't even care about their reputation and want to intervene. It is worth being vigilant, even when necessary." Alexia's tone became dangerous when she said this.

"Alexia, don't do anything rash." Alice couldn't help but dissuade her. After all, without sufficient reasons, even the royal family could not take action against the nobles.

"My dear sister, I didn't say I would do it. Besides, is it wrong for me to choose someone who cannot be supported politically to express my attitude of not competing for the throne? Even if it comes to father, I believe he will seriously consider this proposal which will help strengthen the strength of the royal family." Alexia said confidently.

After listening to Alexia's words, Alice sighed helplessly, and then said: "Let Claire come to see me tomorrow. I need to have a good talk with her."

Alice's words showed that she directly accepted Alexia's proposal and planned to stand up and endorse the Siyue Chamber of Commerce.

Otherwise, it’s because my sister has already made the sacrifice herself.

In addition, objectively speaking, although money certainly cannot impress Alice, the military strength of the two knightly orders is something that Alice cannot ignore.

This is especially valuable as the power of these two knightly orders is independent of the rights of the nobility.

Even though Alice objected to treating Alexia's marriage as a transaction, she knew very well that this was the inevitable fate of the royal family. The only difference was the size of the benefits and the degree to which the marriage partner could satisfy Alexia.

And there is no doubt that the two knights that Claire bid on at least look more intuitive than the others.

Even though these two knightly orders are not exclusive, you don't need to spend a penny to support them.

This incident also gave Alice an inspiration. She has been thinking about how to identify useful people and turn the knight group she currently controls into a group within a group.

After all, as long as Geno Gulifei's affairs were not made public, Alice would have no reason to openly suspect the Knights of disloyalty.

Of course, this is fine. Although you cannot use this as an excuse to set up your own exclusive knightly order, you can screen among the knights and then select your loyal followers to form a separate army.

Even if the number of people is reduced, at least we don't have to pay for all the expenses ourselves.

Then there is Claire's own value. I didn't expect that the eldest daughter of a country baron would have such a network of contacts.

You have to know that it is a lawless city, and he is actually the savior of the two high tower rulers. If this is true, even if it is not useful at the moment, it is enough to make Claire have a very high value to be won over.

How great it would be if I wasn't such a brother-doting madman!

Of course, it doesn’t matter now, as long as Alexia likes it.

"Then, sister, when are we going to see our father?" Alexia asked while the iron was hot.

"After I meet Claire!" Alice answered simply.

After all, it concerns the reputation of the royal family and her sister, and Alice doesn't want to drag it on.

"Thank you, big sister. I love you the most." Alexia immediately threw herself into Alice's arms and said.

"Well, as long as you like it, the only thing I can do is to support you." Alice couldn't help but sigh.

The reason why it was so straightforward was Alice's compensatory psychology.

After all, when Geno was confirmed as the candidate for Alexia's fiancé, she failed to speak up for Alexia. Who could have told Alice to really think that Geno was a good marriage candidate at the time?

The next morning, Reed calculated the arrival time of the train and sent Claire to the royal capital.

However, Claire did not go to the palace immediately, but went to the Siyue Chamber of Commerce with Li De.

Because the invitation letter from the palace was sent here.

When he and Claire arrived at the top floor of the Siyue Chamber of Commerce, Li De saw the invitation and letter sent by Alexia.

After taking the invitation letter and looking at it, Li De immediately saw that the name of the inviter was Alice.

After opening the letter specially sent by Alexia, Li De discovered that things were slightly different from what he had discussed with her before.

"Sid, I think this is better!" When Reed saw it, Claire, who was sticking to Reed, also saw it, and expressed her attitude at the first time.

"Well, as long as it doesn't hinder our purpose, there's no problem." Although Li De said this, he was still a little dissatisfied with Alexia's unauthorized changes.

But Reed must take into account Claire's desire not to stay with Alexia, so he didn't say much.

After asking Gama to prepare a dress for Claire to attend the dinner, Claire boarded the carriage to the palace after afternoon tea.

The reason they went so early was because Alice needed to talk to Claire in advance.

With the power of the contract, they were able to communicate at any time, and Claire didn't let anything slip during the conversation.

As for Alice, after meeting Claire, she no longer doubted her strength.

Who could have asked Claire to fuse the heart of the Fire Demon to increase her strength just a day ago?

The aura that could not be completely restrained due to lack of control put great pressure on Alice, but this could be considered a blessing in disguise.

In fact, before the fusion, if Claire's magic power was digitized, it would probably be around 1900 at most. There is actual data for this in the novel, and this is the value obtained after she was possessed by Aurora.

But after fusing with the Heart of the Fire Demon, Claire's magic power increased dramatically. Reed felt that it was at least dozens or hundreds of times stronger than before.

After all, the incomplete demon bloodline and the complete fire demon bloodline are two completely different concepts.

And if Reed hadn't fused the Heart of the Fire Demon into Claire, this would have suddenly changed the personnel situation and might have caused trouble.

This is what Reed was dissatisfied with. After all, when Alexia was bragging, she forgot about Claire's own strength.

However, this was not intentional on Alexia's part, but rather that Alexia had too much confidence in Li De.

After all, in her opinion, if Reed can improve his strength by several levels in a short period of time, then Reed must be more attentive to his sister, so it goes without saying that Claire is very strong.

As for the results in the Martial God Festival, most of them were deliberately suppressed. It was Li De who had been hiding it.

Without a slave contract, Reed naturally didn't know what Alexia was thinking.

But this accidental hit and miss did justify Claire's identity as a super powerful person.

The next day, when Claire went to serve as Alice's guard with an unhappy look on her face, Reed met Alexia in the villa.

Lying in Li De's arms, Alexia gasped with a flushed face. After a while, she spoke: "Tonight, my sister and I plan to confront our father. If everything goes well, we can confirm our relationship in a short time."

"So urgent?" Li De was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Sid, it's impossible for a girl or a woman to hide her manners from the eyes of those people in the palace. It's only a matter of time before rumors spread." Alexia said after giving Li De a charming look.

After all, it's hard not to be noticed when you're moisturized like this every once in a while.

"Um, I overlooked that." Li De was stunned for a moment after hearing that, and then said with a hint of apology.

"I don't mean to blame you. After all, even if rumors appear, they can still be controlled in a short period of time. In fact, I originally planned to talk to father about it after the blood moon came, and now the time is just a little earlier." Alexia was ready for a showdown when she sacrificed herself.

In fact, the original plan was basically planned by Alexia herself.

After the blood moon, Claire was knighted, so naturally she was worth winning over.

At that time, Alexia felt confident enough to reveal her cards. After all, if things really didn't work out, she could still push Li De out. Of course, this was only the last card she would use unless it was absolutely necessary.
