The guards were respectful.

Sofia frowned slightly:

"I am an imperial noble. Even if I am a superior lord, I cannot restrict my actions at will. Not to mention that the Rosen family is not the legal lord of Wells... Please get out of the way."

After saying that, she gestured to move on.

However, the next second, the spear in the guard's hand was placed in front of the girl.

There were no expressions on their faces. Although their tone was still respectful, there was something irresistible in their respect:

"Miss Sophia, this is also for your safety. After all... From a legal point of view, the Wells family has also followed the Border Count in the rebellion."

"Nonsense! Since I, as the first heir, am standing here, I have proven Wells's loyalty. I am going to see the Duke. He knows this best!"

Sofia said angrily, while showing the power of the mage.

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

Their auras are also exuding from their bodies, and the powerful auras belonging to the Silver rank are spreading, but their voices are still unwavering:

"Sorry, Miss Sophia, this is exactly the Duke's order, but... you just can't move around at will. If you need anything, you can tell us everything, 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.

"Sorry, you can't just walk around casually. If you want to bask in the sun, you can do it in front of the window. This room was specially selected by Mr. Scott. It has excellent lighting and you can also bathe in the warm sunshine indoors. ."

The guard shook his head and replied.

"Then what's the difference between this and house arrest?! I'm not a prisoner of the Rosen family!"

Sofia said angrily.

After hearing her words, the guard hesitated, bowed slightly, and said firmly:

"Miss Sophia, please understand our difficulties. We are just following the Duke's orders."

Facing the resolute gazes of the guards, Sophia's eyes showed a trace of anger.

At this time, the dispute in front of the door finally attracted the Rosen family manager...

"What's going on? There's so much noise?"

It is the old butler of the Duke's family, Baron Scott.

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

"Your Excellency, Baron Scott, what does this mean? Why do you want to restrict my personal freedom?"

Baron Scott showed a kind smile, and then said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Miss Sophia, this is because the Duke has considered your safety. After all... many of the nobles who have escaped from the Maple Leaf Territory in recent days are the spies of the Border Count. The Duke must also serve the interests of all parties. Security considerations..."

"I'm not a spy!"

Sofia said angrily.

"I know that of course you are not a spy. You are a noble of the empire. This is also confirmed and confirmed by the Duke, but you must also understand that it is during the war recently, and your identity is still too sensitive after all, even if it is The Duke doesn't care, but many nobles in the Western Territory will talk about this kind of thing behind their backs..."

"After all, the Duke is not the lord of the Western Territory. He is only stationed here to command the army, and various materials still need the help of local nobles to raise, so... please understand."

Baron Scott explained gently.

After speaking, he smiled slightly:

"Of course, this time will not be long. When the material preparation for our army is completed, the Duke will naturally relax the restrictions on you. By then... you may even be asked to serve as the honorary commander of our army. Officer, I’m giving a speech at the swearing-in party.”

Hearing this, Sophia fell into silence.

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 take long, as short as three or two days, or at most no more than a week."

Baron Scott replied respectfully.

"A week? Do I need to be locked up in this room for a week? Do you know how many changes will happen in the Maple Leaf Territory in a week?! I want to see the Duke, and I want to tell him in person!"

The girl said angrily.

"You are worrying too much. Border Boy's soldiers and horses are strong, especially after the magic power of the mainland recovered. The power of the entire Maple Leaf Territory has made a qualitative leap, and Border Boy himself is suspected of breaking through the legend, so...this war We need to take a long-term approach."

"It is only a week and has no impact on the war situation. The Duke speculates that this counterinsurgency... is likely to take three months to half a year."

Baron Scott shook his head and said to the girl.

Looking at the old housekeeper's resolute attitude, Sophia suddenly felt tired in her heart.

She lost her momentum and sighed:

"I know, I will endure it for a few more days."

"As long as you understand, I will send more maids to take care of you and meet your needs."

Baron Scott showed a relieved smile.

As her request to go out failed, Sophia had no choice but to return to the room.

After a while, several more respectful maids were sent by the baron to take care of the girl.

However, looking at the maid of the Rosen family, Sophia felt a little uninterested.

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

No matter how Baron Scott explains it, there is no doubt that she is indeed under house arrest by the Rosen family.

At this time, the girl also had some regrets about her decision. She didn’t know whether it was right for her to come to ask for help...

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

Relying on this only belief, although she was anxious and dissatisfied, Sophia finally stayed in the room patiently.

……

In the next few days, Sophia still couldn't leave this empty house.

Not only that, the girl keenly noticed that after she got angry for the first time, the strength of the guards outside the room was greatly strengthened.

Even in the garden outside the window, the number of patrolling guards doubled.

"Are you so worried about me running away..."

There was a hint of ridicule in the girl's heart.

She was angry, but helpless.

Unknowingly, five days passed like this.

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

She once asked the guards and maids about the outside news, but they didn't know anything about it. She didn't know whether they didn't want to talk too much to the girl, or they didn't know at all.

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

This made the girl feel like she was a forgotten prisoner.

Of course, it is impossible to be forgotten, or even to be forgotten. The Rosen family must value her very much.

Because four days later, the number of guards guarding the room doubled again. Not only that... I don’t know if it was Sophia’s illusion, but it seemed that the guards and maids were becoming more respectful to her.

After the sixth day, the girl finally saw a different face.

It was a lady dressed as an aristocrat, looking to be in her thirties or forties. She was wearing a fashionable women's mink coat, and she came to the room where Sophia was, accompanied by more than a dozen maids.

"You are Miss Sophia, right? What a beautiful woman! No wonder the Duke is so fond of you..."

"I am Viscountess Abraham. Your Excellency, the Duke, asked me to help you choose a dress for the dinner."

She said enthusiastically.

"Dinner? Dress?"

Looking at the row of maids holding up their dresses, Sophia was slightly stunned.

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

Viscountess Abraham spoke enthusiastically while asking the maid to change Sophia's clothes.

Sofia was not happy with the countess's flattery. On the contrary, her attention was completely attracted by the banquet.

"Am I the protagonist of the banquet? Is the army finally ready to set off?"

Sofia asked expectantly.

"The army is setting off?"

A trace of confusion flashed across the face of the Viscountess.

"Isn't it a swearing-in banquet?"

The girl was slightly startled.

The Viscountess shook her head, and then a flattering smile appeared on her face:

"Of course not, it's your introduction dinner. The Duke will formally introduce you to the nobles coming to Morningstar City tonight."

A formal introduction dinner? at this time?

Sophia was confused.

However, the next words of Viscountess Abraham made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave:

"Congratulations! You have actually been favored by the Duke and become Lord Lukasz's fiancée! With the help of the Rosen family, you will probably become the youngest female elector in the entire empire in the future. !"

"Engagement? When did it happen? I never agreed!"

The girl was stunned.

Just kidding!

She is the sole heir of the Wells family, how can she marry the Rosen family?

Unlike the Kingdom of Iris, the nobles of the Holy Mania Empire attach great importance to the inheritance of their family bloodline. Even if they are a branch of a certain clan, they will try their best to preserve the continuation of their own bloodline.

For the only female heir, generally speaking, the only way to get married is to choose a male from a lower noble or an outstanding civilian transcendent!

"You don't know? How is this possible! Now everyone in Morningstar City knows that you are the future Countess of Sals!"

Viscountess Abraham said in surprise.

The Count of Sals is the fiefdom of Lukasz von Rosen, the eldest son of Duke Rosen.

Although this demented young duke who was almost thirty years old was deprived of the right to inherit the dukedom by Duke Rosen, he was still given an earldom.

Of course, it is just a small area, perhaps not as large as the Zeroland area ruled by the Wells family.

When thinking of the well-known dementia child, Sophia's face turned pale.

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

I'm afraid he planned to force himself into a marriage with the Duke's family from the beginning!

If, as the sole heir, she marries the Duke's eldest son Lukasz, then the Rosen family will completely obtain all the claims of the Wells family, and the future border electorate can also be easily included in their hands!

As for the Wells family...

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

And even if she becomes a female elector, I am afraid she will be a puppet of the Rosen family, with no freedom at all!

After thinking about everything clearly, Sophia felt great regret and strong anger in her heart.

She couldn't believe that Duke Rosen actually dared to do this. He actually dared to ignore the wishes of an imperial noble and forcefully and unilaterally announce a marriage contract!

"No, I did not agree! I want to see Duke Rosen! This is illegal, not recognized by the church, and is invalid!"

Sophia said angrily.

After saying that, she quickly ran towards the door, but was quickly stopped by the guards.

"Let me go, I want to see Duke Rosen! He has no power to deal with my marriage!"

The girl said angrily.

"What happened? It's so noisy?"

Just when Sophia was furious, the familiar voice of Baron Scott came over.

The girl turned around and saw the old butler of the Duke's family standing in the corridor accompanied by a kind-faced old man.

Sofia recognized it. It was Santis, the fief bishop of the Eternal Church stationed in the Western Territory. He was also the Archbishop of the Western Diocese of the Eternal Church.

Her eyes lit up, she threw away the guards' spears and came to the two of them.

Then, she bowed to the old man and said:

"Sophia von Wells, met Bishop Santis."

After saying that, she took a deep breath and prepared to ask the bishop for help.

All marriages in the empire need to be blessed by the church to be legal. As long as she explains the situation to the church, she can be free!

No matter what, you must not attend the dinner party, otherwise... if her marriage is publicly announced by the Rosen family on a social occasion, even if she denies it, it will become a fact!

"Mr. Bishop Santis, I need your help!"

Sophia said excitedly.

However, Bishop Santis waved his hand to stop the girl from speaking.

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

"Miss Sophia, I haven't congratulated you on becoming a member of the Rosen family. May Father God bless you..."

He had a kind face, but what he said made the girl look stunned.

"No...I didn't, I didn't want to enter into a marriage contract with the Rosen family!"

She said indignantly.

"Miss Sophia, you are joking. This is something even the church has witnessed, and it is also something you hope for. Do you want to regret it?"

Baron Scott beside the bishop frowned and said in a slightly stern voice.

Sofia was stunned.

Looking at the stern old housekeeper, she never imagined that he was still the amiable old man a few days ago.

And Bishop Santis said equally seriously:

"Miss Sophia, a marriage that has been blessed by the church, even a marriage contract, is sacred and cannot be violated. Please be careful what you say to avoid triggering the wrath of the gods!"

Watching Baron Scott and Bishop Santis singing together, and watching the surrounding guards and maids looking on with cold eyes, Sophia's mood became completely cold.

At this time, if she still didn't understand that Duke Rosen had already used the relationship with the Eternal Church and completely deceived her, then she would be too stupid.

However, seeing that the always holy and aloof bishop actually colluded with the nobles, the girl felt either disappointed or indignant.

"Is this the great nobleman of the empire? Is this the just and holy eternal church..."

She suddenly laughed.
