Chapter 1091 - Neutralizer (I)


No one expected that Lorne would suddenly slap Athena in the face, and even Athena herself did not expect that Lorne would knock her mask to the ground in front of everyone.

But the crisp sound of the slap and the burning feeling on her face made Athena understand that this was all true.

If someone dared to hit her like this before, she would definitely fight him to the death.

The eldest lady of the Stuart family is not someone to be bullied, but since she came to the north to seek refuge with Lorne, Athena has been slapped like this countless times.

I should have been used to it by now, but I didn’t know what was going on today, and tears seemed to be welling up in my eyes.

Why is this happening?

My tears have dried up a long time ago.

I can’t take it back.

I must take it back.

Athena was screaming in her heart, but even though her body was used to being abused by men, mentally Athena had always remained herself.

The man was slapped by Lorne in front of his brother and a woman he looked down on.

Just like the mask that was knocked to the ground, Miss Stuart's self-esteem could be said to have been almost destroyed by Lorne. .

But the beast who did such a thing seemed as if nothing had happened.

Without even looking at Athena, he continued to talk to Giles and Susan.

"I will take care of the wedding.

After the wedding, Miss Susan will stay with us in the north.

Giles, as the legal heir of the Stuart family, you should go to the imperial capital.

There are your Stuart warriors out there, and they need a leader.

Kayla Pope is clearly not a qualified lord and you are supposed to lead them to victory.

There, Bishop Sophia of our northern diocese also resisted heresy.

She will help you, and I believe you can teach those heretics a lesson."

No wonder he was so excited about Giles and Susan's wedding.

It turned out that Lorne wanted to use Susan to control Giles.

Then Giles was asked to receive the remnants of the Stuart family, further weakening Keira to help Sophia.

Athena did not think of this because she cared about her brother, and in Lorne's opinion, the beating was deserved.

What's more, the woman was really too presumptuous just now.

If she didn't teach her a lesson, Athena would think she was so favored.

As for Giles, when he heard Lorne's words, he instinctively wanted to object.

It's just that his proud sister didn't dare to resist after being slapped.

She even lowered her head and seemed to be sobbing faintly.

She was shocked by Lorne's strength.

He didn't know how to object for a while.

Susan, the former madam, was very sensible and ignored the shocked siblings.

She answered Lorne simply: "Thank you, Lord Earl of the North, for hosting our wedding.

Our wedding will definitely be welcomed by the Virgin Mary." blessing.

Heretics are also enemies of our Stuart family, and we are willing to help the Earl.

As long as the earl orders us, we will cooperate with the needs of the North."

Having just returned from Brilliant City, Susan still doesn't know many things.

But from the situation where Natalie was hiding from Lorne and Athena didn't dare to fight back after being beaten, the madam had already understood a lot of things.

As long as she married Giles and became a duchess, Susan didn't worry about Lorne using force on her.

Staying in the North is just a hostage.

What she cares more about is the relationship between Athena and Lorne.

Because this is not only related to their intimacy with Lorne, but they cannot sleep with Lorne.

The Stuart family always needs another person to take his place.

Athena has an innate advantage in this regard.

Unfortunately, depending on the situation, if something is not done, Miss Stuart will be just a hair away from falling out of favor completely.

Susan needs some time to figure out what the relationship between Lorne and Athena is.

For Giles and for herself, this woman knows her position very well.

In contrast, Athena is indeed ignorant of praise.

It was rare for Lorn to show kindness to her, but the woman actually made Lorn unable to step down out of disgust.

After receiving a slap and finally calming down, Lorne was no longer ready to treat Athena as a successful minister.

Even Natalie had a place to greet Giles, Susan, and even Casteff and others, but what Athena got was just the cold words from the man before he left.

"When you go back, go find Tiaris by yourself.

Don't come out without my nod."

In a simple sentence, Athena's past efforts were all in vain.

Even if Tialis hadn't existed, Lorne might have given her as a gift to Castev at this moment.

Because Athena's mask was taken off, the Pirate King recognized Athena's identity.

While praising Lorne for his skill in handling his wife, he also talked about the women in his house.

Overtly and covertly, he tried to test whether Lorne could play a wife-swapping game with him.

Unfortunately, Lorne had no interest at all in a woman who had been played by such a dirty pirate.

And during the entire simple banquet, most of what Lorne said centered on how to deal with Glory City.

But these things are basically the scope of men's worries.

Except for Natalie's need because of her status, Susan hinted to Giles and asked him to stay calm and accompany Lorne and the Pirate Queen.

The woman left early on the grounds of feeling unwell.

Had a banquet.

He was born in Yuanwang City and worked underground in Brilliant City for so long.

Of course, Susan's body was not as weak as she said.

She left early because she was looking for Athena.

After hearing Lorne's analysis of Casteff and others just now, Susan already understood some general concepts even though she didn't know the specific situation yet.

And from Natalie's attitude, she was certain that Lorne was the strongest person in the empire today.

If you include the remnants of the Stuart family who are about to defect, Keira can be said to have been eliminated early.

The future winner will definitely belong to Brilliant City if it's not Lorne.

Between the two, Brilliant City was their enemy, so Susan directly positioned Lorne as the future winner.

Since Lorne is very likely to occupy the entire empire on the premise of unifying the northern border, the man's power is too terrifying.

Working with such a man, Susan needs a powerful neutralizer to prevent any unpredictable changes in the future.

After much deliberation, Athena was the only candidate for this job.

But Susan also heard the last words Lorne said to Athena.

There was no doubt that she was sure that Athena had been pushed into the cold palace by Lorne.

But fortunately, they were in the grassland now, and there were no women around Lorne, so things were not so bad that there was no room for recovery.

It's just that if you want to regain the situation, Athena needs to work hard on her own.

All Susan can do is to persuade, using the entire Stuart family as a trump card.

She believes and hopes that Athena can sort out her priorities
