"What is the price, so heavy that His Royal Highness Mary will not hesitate to give up the qualifications of a powerful and powerful vote?"

Qiao An couldn't help being surprised.

The faces of Rebecca and Vassar also showed the same doubts.

Sir Castis took the handkerchief handed by Heimdall, spit out a **** sputum, and replied with a wry smile: "While taking this burden from me, I must also bear a curse, and will never heirs in this life. "

The living room was suddenly silent.

Extinct? !

This curse is too heavy, no wonder Colofa and Maria cannot accept it.

If Maria is unable to bear offspring, the Canaanite royal family will face the threat of extinction. No matter how loving she is with Colofa, the royal family cannot tolerate her continuing to bear the title of "Prince Princess". It is obviously wiser to refuse to accept the qualifications of voters. select.

What about the Vassars and Rebecca?

The Vassars have not yet given birth to children, and Rebecca is not yet married. Can they accept the price of extinction?

Think about it, Qiao An feels this is an extremely difficult choice.

"I'm sorry, children, I should have borne these costs, but I really can't make it anymore and I have to wrong you to take on this burden."

Looking at the young people in front of him who are flourishing and have yet to have children, and his dearest relatives, Sir Castis couldn't help showing tears of guilt in his eyes.

George Vassar's stern face was throbbing, and he turned to look at his beloved wife.

Three years ago, George Vassar led the Alfheim Corps to support the northern compatriots in resisting the Feizhen invaders. At that time, he visited his father-in-law under the recommendation of Qiao An. This time he accompanied his wife and sister-in-law to visit relatives, but he did not expect himself Also face the test of fate.

He certainly knows how precious the qualifications of voters are. Whether it is for his own future or just based on pious beliefs, he should bravely take on this burden, but can Martha accept such a price? After all these years of marriage, she has been thinking about getting pregnant and having children!

Depriving a woman of the right to become a mother is a very cruel decision for whatever reason.

Martha hid her face and sobbed, tears couldn't stop pouring out of her eyes, and she didn't want to look directly at her husband, otherwise she would really not help but shake her head and refuse, begging her husband to give up the opportunity to become a goddess vote.

Rebecca was pale, her teeth bit her lips but she didn't notice.

After a long time in a daze, she suddenly turned her head to look at Qiao An, with an inquiring look in her eyes.

Qiao An suddenly felt his scalp numb, and he couldn't sit still anymore, and quickly stood up.

"Lord! I am not a priest of the Goddess Di Moss, it is not suitable to stay here...Please allow me to avoid it."

...

Sitting in the shade of the tree, Qiao An was confused and unable to concentrate on reading, so he stood up and walked around the pond.

He took out his pocket watch and took a look. It has been an entire hour since he left the living room, and I don't know what decision the Castis family finally made and who will inherit the qualifications of the "Queen of Causality" as voters.

If it's Rebecca...Should I congratulate her or comfort her?

The more Qiao Ann thought about it, the more headache.

At this time, footsteps came from behind.

Qiao An looked back and saw the girl in white walking through the flowers from a distance, walking towards him.

"Rebecca!" Qiao An subconsciously called out the girl's name and waved to her, "Are you... okay?"

"Hello, Mr. Deserter!" Rebecca gave him a blank look. "Actually, it's not me you really want to ask, but how is my baby?"

what? ! Is this... so direct?

Qiao An nodded inappropriately, and shaking his head seemed inappropriate.

Rebecca sat down beside him and sighed wearily.

"To tell you the truth, I gave up my qualifications to compete as voters."

Qiao An subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a low voice, "Can you tell me the reason for giving up?"

"Unwilling to give up the ability to have children is one of the reasons. This sacrifice is indeed great, but for me, it is not the most important factor."

"What is the more important factor?" Joanne asked wonderingly.

"This is not a sentence or two that can be said clearly."

Rebecca looked at the ripples in the pond, and her eyes were a little bit lonely.

"Qiao An, you also know that our Dimosi Church is the de facto No. 1 religion in the New World. It has the widest range of believers, covering all social strata, and its influence even exceeds the official belief of the colony-Peiro. church."

"It's true." Qiao An nodded in agreement.

"Becoming a voter of our Lord is equivalent to the leader of the entire New World Dimos Church. This not only means that the voters themselves will be protected by divine grace and powerful power, but they will also gain tremendous influence on the religious and even political levels. For a person who is committed to political activities, the support of thousands of die-hard believers is invaluable."

"That's right!" Qiao An couldn't help but nodded again and again, "Becoming a voter of Dimos can help you realize your political ambitions. Why should you withdraw from the competition?"

"Because I have to face reality."

Rebecca smiled wryly.

"The hard reality is that in this age of male superiority and female inferiority, it is difficult for women to make a difference on the stage of power."

"If I become a voter of the Queen of Cause and Effect, I can only pretend to be the innocent "saint" in the eyes of the faithful. I will concentrate on religious activities for the rest of my life and become the spiritual idol of the church, but I am unlikely to participate in political activities publicly. Don't dare to pursue political power publicly, otherwise you will deviate from the faithful's expectations of the'saint woman'-this kind of expectation, to put it bluntly, is a traditional bias against women's participation in politics.

Qiao An nodded, having to admit that what Rebecca said was reasonable.

Isn’t the “saint” and “the Virgin” in the gospels and religious legends the kind of image Rebecca described?

In history, there was a brave girl who, after receiving the enlightenment, called on the people to resist the alien army that invaded the motherland, and even demonstrated outstanding military command ability on the battlefield.

If she were a man, she might not be able to build a dynasty hegemony with her own leadership and religious appeal. However, as a woman, she could only exert political influence by supporting the royal family. In the end, she was unfortunately betrayed by a traitor, burned, and canonized after death , And this is the best ending she can get.

"Qiao An, let's recall those women who were canonized in history, not to mention participating in political activities, even the rights that ordinary women take for granted, such as love, marriage and family life, are not worthy of the subtext of saints. It is'chaste', and the saint who marries a child is no longer a saint. I am afraid that most of our church members are not enlightened enough on this issue."
