If he doesn't choose her...
Lost in her thoughts, Barbara heard Clive speak again: "There is another contradiction. Duke Barbara, since you returned to your homeland with the ambition to engage in reformation, why did you say 'if the parliament elects the queen'?"
Upon hearing this, Barbara was stunned once more.
"Duke Barbara, you just compared your status and position to that of my wife. I want to ask, how did you achieve your current status? Was it not because of the reformation that you became our country's first Duchess? Before the reformation, women in our country becoming titled nobility was unthinkable, right? So, I also want to ask, since you have benefited from the reformation, why do you still desire the benefits of the pre-reformation system?"
She had benefited from the reformation.
And yet she wanted to use the old laws to ask for the parliament to elect the queen?
Wasn't she trying to monopolize all the benefits of the world?
Why should she have all the benefits?
