Mervin’s expression was complex as he said, "Both of them are outliers among the younger generation of Nobles. Many people do not want to offend them, yet they dare not get too close. It’s clear that you also have support from someone behind the scenes. If that person is a Noble, then you must be careful."
"Noble circles are , where often you are not just yourself, or you are not yourself at all. Relationships are intricately complex, and your fortunes are tied to those who stand behind you."
Lin Fu was able to come out so quickly, which confirmed Mervin’s speculation.
He was genuinely concerned about Lin Fu, and that was why he shared this information with her.
Lin Fu listened, half understanding, aware that her own actions in the eyes of others also represented the people backing her.
But what about Celia and Lance?
Mervin, noting the confusion in her eyes, lit a cigarette for himself, took a puff, and then slowly said, "The awkward and special position of Celia and Lance in the Noble circle is related to one person."
"The former Princess Freya. You’ve heard about the Royal Family’s coup ten years ago, haven’t you?"
"I’ve heard of it, but its authenticity on the Star Network is uncertain."
"Indeed, it’s hard to discern the truth," Mervin said with a mocking cold smile. "Even those of us here do not understand the calculations and the exchange of interests inside. But many know about Celia and Lance’s relationship with Princess Freya."
"Freya." Lin Fu silently recited the name, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity surge within her.
It seemed the name had once belonged to her.
A sharp pain began to emerge in her mind, she shook her head, not delving deeper into the thought and tried to suppress the pain.
"Princess Freya was once the second in line to the throne of the Royal Family, but she was exceptionally talented from a young age. It is said that her constitution and spiritual power both reached 3S level when she was very young, which is unique in the entire history of Mecklenburg."
"She was the most beloved little princess of the Royal Family, and there was even a time when they wanted to make her the Crown Prince directly. Lance was Princess Freya’s fiancé, and Celia was her companion. Everyone envied them for their seemingly limitless prospects, because if Princess Freya ascended the throne, Celia might have become the second female Prime Minister in the history of the Empire."
Lin Fu’s gaze was calm, but beneath that calmness, a strong force was brewing.
"Joseph IV was killed by his own younger brother in a rebellion, and naturally Princess Freya also died, so Celia and Lance were also affected by the waves?" Lin Fu asked coldly.
"The first part is correct, but not the latter."
Mervin shook his head.
"There are rumors that Princess Freya did not die, and that’s why the positions of Lance and Celia are awkward. If Princess Freya had died, things would have been simpler and there wouldn’t have been so many reservations."
Lin Fu suddenly understood.
"What about the elder princess? If Princess Freya was the little princess, wasn’t there also Princess Evelyn, the elder princess?"
"Under the aura of Princess Freya, everyone else seemed to fade."
"You were right to reject Celia’s recruitment last time, but I have a feeling Celia won’t give up easily," Mervin said, his expression somewhat strange, as if he was pondering the anomaly in his thoughts.
Celia was no longer the little girl from the time of the coup; on the contrary, she was a ruthless player in the Noble circles.
Cold-hearted, brutal, isolated, and eccentric.
