After all, based on their understanding of Marne, Marne usually wouldn't refuse someone like Princess Mary who took the initiative to pursue him.
Jeanne Alter has a deep understanding of this.
Therefore, if left to its own devices, this "new sister volunteer" will soon shed the last three words and become a real "new sister".
Before that, the three felt it was necessary to get to know each other better, such as... their motives!
"Tell me, what is it about Maren that you've got your eye on?" Zhen asked directly.
Chapter 321 Nero's Soul-Searching Question, Princess Mary: Was this the choice?
"Huh? So direct? I wasn't prepared at all..."
Princess Mary was instantly flustered and at a loss for words when asked this question by Jeanne Alter.
But the three men were staring intently at her. She knew she couldn't escape this situation without giving a clear explanation, so she suppressed her shyness and slowly said, "I didn't mean it that way at first, but after that day, I suddenly realized..."
Princess Mary began to recount her personal journey.
Starting with Gudako's joke that day, I gradually noticed how outstanding Mar and En were, and gradually began to want to get closer to Mar and En.
Nero and Jeanne Alter were quite pleased with this, and the two of them were now loyal fans of Marco and the Ebenezer, saying that as long as you say good things about Marco and the Ebenezer, we are friends.
The Lion King, however, didn't react much. Unlike the other girls who were completely proactive, she was the only one who passively accepted Marne, so she wasn't as deeply 'poisoned' as Nero and the others in some aspects.
Princess Mary thought she had passed the test because Nero and Jeanne Alter had both nodded, but when she finished explaining her motive, Nero suddenly changed his expression.
"So, once you're in the Ma family, what can you do for Marx and Engels?"
Nero's face turned serious, all traces of his previous amiability vanished, and he began to scrutinize Princess Mary with a critical gaze.
As one of the first people to follow Marne besides Tiamat, the empress, Nero was arguably the one who cared most for Marne.
For Marne's sake, she was willing to accept Aozaki Touko and even sacrifice herself.
Even though she was a little jealous, she let Ma En take the initiative to capture the Lion King so that he would be happy.
It can be said that Nero was the one who devoted the most to Marne among his wives.
Even Tiamat, the empress, couldn't compare to her in this respect.
Of course, it's also because Tiamat doesn't have that opportunity. She can't come out of the imaginary space, and everything she can do has already been arranged for Marne. Plus, given her powerful abilities, it's not time for her to sacrifice herself.
However, it cannot be denied that, based on current performance, Nero is the one who loves Marne the most.
Don't let her usual carefree and unreliable demeanor fool you.
But if something were to happen to Marne, she would definitely be the first to stand up.
Therefore, Nero doesn't mind how many new lovers Marne will have in the future; what she cares more about is what these new lovers can do for Marne and to what extent.
"If you could only choose between Flandre and Maen, what would you choose?"
Nero then posed an even more pointed question, and Princess Mary's answer would determine whether she was willing to accept him.
"..."
Princess Mary was stumped by the question and fell into deep thought for a moment.
It has to be said that this question was very targeted at her.
Her feelings for Flanders are undeniable; she is even willing to sacrifice herself for her country.
Making her choose between her country and the person she likes is just putting her in a difficult position.
However, neither Jeanne Alter nor the Lion King spoke, tacitly acquiescing to Nero's question.
"..."
After an unknown amount of time, Princess Mary was still deep in thought. The three people on the other side remained silent, waiting quietly. For a moment, the room fell into a slightly oppressive silence.
Finally, Princess Mary opened her mouth and said with a firm expression, "I will choose Flandre."
Ultimately, she couldn't abandon her homeland. Torn between her personal feelings and her deep love for Flanders, she chose to sacrifice herself, just as she accepted her fate and went to the execution ground at the very end of her life.
"Feel sorry."
She then apologized to the three of them and turned to leave.
In her view, since Nero asked such a question, he naturally hoped that she would choose Marne.
But I disappointed them, which meant I gave up the chance to be accepted and to give up this relationship. So there was no need for me to stay here any longer.
However, to her surprise...
Where are you going?
Nero chuckled and stopped her.
"Didn't I make the wrong choice?" Princess Li was taken aback.
Nero smiled and shook his head: "No, you're overthinking it."
As he spoke, Nero pointed to himself and then to the Lion King.
“Even though Arthur and I are both rulers of a country, we will choose our own country.”
The Lion King shrugged, silently agreeing.
Asking her to abandon Britain? That's simply impossible!
Nero, too, was proud to be the Roman emperor and naturally could not abandon her country.
"Huh?" Princess Li was suddenly taken aback.
Yup!
There are still two kings here!
How could a king abandon his country?
"So, I made the right choice?"
“No.” Lu shook his head again.
"Actually, there is no correct answer to this question, because we will not give up on Marx and Engels."
Nero says: I want it all!
"..."
Having understood Nero's meaning, Princess Mary fell silent.
Is this even possible?!
How come I didn't think of that?!
"In any case, I'm pleased that you've stayed true to yourself." Lu patted Princess Mary on the shoulder with satisfaction, expressing his appreciation.
Being able to stay true to one's principles demonstrates strong willpower.
Once such a person is loyal, they will never betray you.
Also, Princess Mary hesitated and struggled for a long time just now.
The fact that she was conflicted shows that Marne held a significant place in Princess Mary's heart.
It was so great that even in his own heart, he found it difficult to choose between them.
Moreover, Nero admired this spirit of self-sacrifice.
If Princess Mary hadn't had to choose between Flandre and Marne, or if she hadn't had to clash with Flandre, she probably would have sacrificed herself for love.
This is the key to Princess Mary's success in getting through this challenge.
Of course, if Princess Mary immediately agreed to abandon Marne's side, Nero would probably have a completely different expression.
If she answered immediately, it would mean that Princess Mary's love for Marne was not enough.
Nero would naturally advise such a person to leave and refuse to let him in.
But Nero was very pleased with Princess Mary's performance just now.
Not only Nero, but the Lion King also thought it was very good.
Only Jeanne Alter didn't seem to care about this; all she knew was that she had passed Princess Mary's test.
"Is that so? Thank you." Princess Li was delighted to hear this and expressed her gratitude to Nero.
Then she looked at the Lion King.
Having already passed two rounds, she now only has the Lion King left as her opponent.
Once she wins over the Lion King, she'll be able to officially accept him.
Chapter 322 Marx and Engels' Potential Problems, and the Wives' Unanimous Consensus
When the Lion King saw Princess Mary looking at him, he couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
She had just told Mash that they would handle Princess Mary's problem.
As a result, although they did manage to resolve the issue, the way they did it might not have been exactly what Mashu had anticipated.
Mashu was very decisive and didn't want Princess Mary and Marne to develop that kind of relationship.
But for them, it's just a test; if they don't pass, they reject them, and if they do, they accept them.
It seems that Princess Mary has a high chance of passing the test.
If this really goes too far, how will she explain it to Mash afterwards?
Forget it, let's wait until Princess Mary gets past her before we talk about it. It's not certain right now.
Even if it's over, let Mash deal with it herself. After all, there's still Jeanne Alter ahead of her, and Mash hasn't explained things to Mash yet.
"So, without harming Feilanxi, what can you do for this family? What kind of contribution can you make to this family?"
This is the problem of The Lion King, which is actually somewhat the same as the problem of Nero.
However, this is also the part that the Lion King cares about most, as she is already caught in family 'conflicts'.
At the same time, she was also thinking of Marne's best interests.
The biggest potential problem for Marx and Engels right now is the conflict within the family.
