Chapter 614: The King’s Designated Marriage 5
“I have no opinion. Lord Greymane, just decide for yourself.”
When Lardy said this, she just lightly glanced at Paul, with a joyless expression on her face.
What, you don’t care?
Paul’s heart was upset, a sense of loss ran up, she really didn’t care.
“In that case, that’s it!”
Paul made a decision.
“I will immediately reply to His Majesty the King, and if Princess Catherine can become my wife, I will be very honored and grateful!”
“Gentlemen, I am now in a mood of excitement, joy, and happiness. At that time, I hope everyone can attend my wedding.”
He looked at Lardy out of the corner of his eye, feeling himself as if he had gambled a little.
“Congratulations, Paul!” Myron looked at him with a grin, “If this comes to fruition, Steward Philip will have gone a great deal of the way.”
Derek, on the other hand, teased him, “Be careful, when you go out tomorrow, the noble youths of Jingyao are likely to be lining up to duel you.”
Earl Parker was beaming, “Her Highness Catherine marrying into the Northwest Bay will be an honor for all of us Northwest nobles.”
Squire Victor, on the other hand, choked a little, “Oooh, how good it would be if your father, old Lord Gleeman, could see this moment.”
Hansel, Bernard and others also congratulated Paul.
Among all the people, the only one who didn’t say another word was Lardy, except for the sentence “I don’t have any opinion” just now.
However, Ms. Sertia had always given people an impression of coolness and silence, so everyone did not find it strange.
After the crowd dispersed, Paul immediately brought gifts to visit Count Abbott at Hansel’s house, and when he arrived, even Hansel, who had just returned, had not yet changed his clothes.
He explained his intention to Count Abbott, who was very happy.
“I hope that you and Her Highness Catherine will reap a beautiful karma.”
The task which the king had given him was satisfactorily accomplished.
—
“Catherine, Paul Graiman responded and said he was honored and grateful.”
In the gardens of the palace, Rodney XVIII found his sister and told her the news.
“Yes? Now you can finally rest easy, Your Majesty.”
Catherine only responded faintly.
“On Aunt Phyllis’s side ……”
Rodney XVIII mentioned his aunt, Catherine’s mother.
“Don’t worry, I’ll speak for myself on that one.”
“Ah, you are a sweet sister.”
“But ……,” said Catherine suddenly.
“Hmm? Do you have a wish? I’ll fulfill it.” Rodney XVIII punched the air.
Catherine straightened up, “In the future, when I get to the Northwest Bay, I wish to take my own mother and sister there with me.”
Rodney XVIII frowned.
He was torn in his mind as to whether he should be cold and leave Catherine’s mother and sister in Jingyao, which would be a good hold for her in the field.
But Catherine had already made a huge sacrifice, and if he continued to do so, he was afraid that the last bit of kinship between the two would be gone.
Catherine could see Rodney XVIII’s nagging concern, and her eyes grew cold as she looked at the king.
“Oh, of course, of course …… you can take them.”
Rodney XVIII’s face changed to a sad expression.
“I’ll miss them though, we’re family, aren’t we?”
“But ……” he added, “I hope you’ll respect their own wishes, especially Erin, she’s still so young, isn’t she?”
“She’s youthful, lively, and a scholar, so she definitely likes pretty, prosperous, and culturally rich places, Northwest Bay can’t compare to Jingyao in that regard… Besides, Erin isn’t really that young, and Jingyao has so many excellent boys to choose from.”
“Really available for her to choose from?”
Catherine interrupted, “Wouldn’t Erin be set up with someone just because you say so? Perhaps Veblen? Maybe even Giles?”
“My God!” Rodney XVIII shrieked, a hint of mortification in his voice.
“Catherine, what do you imagine me to be? Am I that bottomless?” “You do realize that your situation is rather unique ……”
A hint of sadness flooded Catherine’s eyes as she said, “Erin is coming with me, and I want to give her a free life.”
“I wish her a bright future, sincerely.”
The king said.
“By the way, perhaps you should go and get in touch with Paul more privately and cultivate a relationship in advance, he is an introverted and shy ……”
“Shut up!”
Catherine somewhat rudely interrupted the king.
—
“Snap!”
The glass made of crystal fell to the ground and shattered.
Erin looked at her sister in a daze, and the sisters’ mother, the former Queen Phyllis, also looked at her eldest daughter with a shocked expression on her face.
Catherine informed them of the news that she would be marrying far away.
“Why didn’t you discuss this with us!” Phyllis chided her with great anger.
Although her eldest daughter had always been very opinionated, this was outrageous.
“It was …… arranged by …… Brother Gelder.”
Catherine told the truth to her mother and sister.
“But I will take you all with me.”
The two realized what was going on as soon as they thought about it, and although they didn’t care about politics, they were in a position that made it impossible for them to stay out of it.
“Yeah, I’ll go get him! Bullying his own sister as soon as he becomes king.”
Phyllis immediately stood up and angrily walked outside, intending to settle the score with her king’s nephew.
“Mother!”
Catherine pulled her back.
“I have agreed, Gerd is right, it really is the best way to keep the kingdom together, there has to be a concession.”
“Alas, Catherine!”
Phyllis hugged her daughter, leaving two lines of clear tears in her eyes.
“Who is it?”
Erin, who had just snapped out of her dazed state, suddenly asked.
“Hmm?”
“I said who is that Gerd guy going to marry you off to?”
Erin’s eyes widened as she asked a very important question.
The little princess was now filled with anger, as if something important was going to be taken away from her.
How can …… sister how can …… sister give it to someone else?
Although she knew early on that this day would come sooner or later, but when it really came time to face it, Irene’s heart was still very difficult.
What’s more, this is not the will of the sister herself.
Catherine wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
“Erin, you know this man too.”
“I know?”
“It’s Earl Paul Graiman of Northwest Bay.”
“Huh?”
Erin’s eyes widened.
It couldn’t be, could it?
