Chapter 613: The King’s Marriage 4
Chapter 613: The King’s Appointment to Marry 4
In the Northwest Gulf, there was a custom similar to certain places in the previous life, where age was recorded according to the false age.
When Paul had just awakened his memories of his past life, the year was 1990 on the Holy Calendar, he was 14 years old, and his actual age was 13.
After being driven to become a lord for five years, that is, in the current year of 1995, he was already 18 years old.
The people of the Northwest Bay married early, and Paul was a proper old man there.
Myron Garnard, who was about his age, had been engaged to a nobleman’s daughter the previous year.
And Derek Heller, two years older than Paul, was already the father of a child.
Because of Paul’s picking and choosing in his own marriage, it was a source of anxiety for Philip, the old butler.
Especially in the not too long ago because of the reform and detonation of a rebellion, the old housekeeper for Paul’s marriage more anxious.
This time, the old housekeeper went to the south to see the king, the old housekeeper moved the heart.
The girls in the Northwest Bay didn’t catch your eye, but there’s always a girl in Jingyao.
So he begged Paul to socialize more in Jingyao, attend more banquets, and bring back a mistress to the Greiman family’s castle.
Of course, he also knows that Paul is not good at socializing, so he also begged the other people traveling with him to try to “bring” Paul.
On the way to Jingyao, Paul also had some fantasies.
But he didn’t expect that his life event would actually come in such a way.
Hansel’s father, Earl Pearson Abbott, had been sent to himself by Rodney XVIII to ask him if he would be willing to become a companion on the road of life with the Princess Katherine Rodney.
Catherine Rodney, the dream girl of how many kingdoms’ noble talents, was …… actually going to marry himself?
Just a short time ago, he had seen this famous military princess one side.
She is the appearance is impeccable, and unlike the calmness of Ladi Sertia like water, Catherine is beauty is a kind of beauty with aggression, a sense of intimidation.
Though her words were also few, each one was powerful and rich in some sort of strength.
All of the above may be a set of unique temperaments developed by a long period of time in a high position, especially a long period of time in command of an overwhelmingly male army.
It was simply the imperial sister of imperial sisters.
As for whether or not Paul was satisfied with such a woman, it was definitely a thousand percent.
After a long silence, Paul asked Count Abbott, “What about the princess herself?”
Baron Pearson Abbott smiled faintly at him, “Since it is His Majesty the King’s intention, I think that Her Highness herself will definitely be happy with it.”
Huh? So is it a pleasure or not?
Paul felt somewhat mystified.
“Can this …… be something I can think about?”
This isn’t even pie in the sky anymore, it’s like dropping a big gold mine!
Would there be such a good thing in the world?
Even if there is, can you catch it?
Paul was a little skeptical about all of the above, and he had to talk to someone about it.
Count Abbott was slightly surprised at Paul’s answer.
“Okay, do I need to tell the King that you are considering it? Or should I delay my reply for some time and bring His Majesty a definite answer like yes or no directly.”
Paul said after a little thought, “I would like it to be the second, if possible.”
The king wants to marry his sister to himself, do he have to put up a fight and say he wants to think about it?
Earl Abbott nodded, “Well, I will be going into the palace tomorrow afternoon to give His Majesty my reply, and you will have a day to consider it before then.”
Listening to the conversation between his father and Paul, Hansel’s heart rippled.
There was a little bit of sourness in this ripple, after all, what noble son in Jingyao hadn’t had a crush on Princess Catherine. However, the main thing was the reexamination of Paul, had this Count Alda become powerful enough for the king to enlist him by way of marriage?
Of course, Hansel knew a few other things through his father, such as the new king’s scorn for her Highness’s supporters.
But if it was only out of scorn, the king could have married his sister elsewhere, there were so many options.
But His Majesty chose Paul Greiman instead.
Hansel couldn’t help but persuade, “Lord Gleiman, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you become in-laws with the royal family, it will be a step to becoming one of the highest group of figures in the kingdom.”
“The Northwest Bay will also play an important role in Aldo’s political arena.”
Hansel’s voice was filled with temptation, but he also had his own considerations.
As an official who had served Paul for many years, his own importance would rise if Paul became a high-ranking member of the kingdom.
“You’re right, Hansel, that’s why I need to consider it more carefully.”
Alas, I should have known that I would have brought Old Ford or Philip to Jingyao, they would have analyzed it for myself.
Paul sent Abbott and son away in a state of brain fog.
He closed the door and returned to his seat, falling into a long silence.
—
“What?”
Words of unanimous surprise resounded around the table.
Myron, Victor, Lardy, Bernard, the re-called Hansel, and a few other Northwest nobles who were normally Paul’s friends–Price Parker, Derek Heller, and others–were now assembled in a room somewhere in Alda’s office in Crystalline Yew.
“That famous Princess Catherine, the king actually …… actually want to marry him to you?”
The crowd expressed their incredulity.
“What? Could it be that I’m not qualified enough to marry her in your eyes?”
Paul was a little exasperated. Good! That’s how you all see me.
“Oh, don’t get me wrong, Paul!”
Earl Parker came out to smooth things over, “A princess of a kingdom getting married is supposed to be a big deal, and no matter who she marries, everyone is surprised when they hear his name.”
“So what’s your opinion?”
“What opinion do I need to ask for? Of course it’s a yes.”
Price Parker’s tone was firm.
“Marrying a royal bloodline home, this is something how many nobles dream of. And marrying this Princess Catherine, this is something how many nobles don’t even dare to dream about.”
As soon as his words fell, Myron and Victor spoke out in agreement.
“This is a tremendous good thing! We can’t even envy it.”
“That’s it, be brave, Paul!”
It seemed that they were all hardly in agreement.
Paul turned his eyes on Lardy with a questioning note in them.
“So, ahem, Lardy, what do you think?”
The witch, however, didn’t answer right away, and for the first time, Paul saw her in a fuming state.
He waited patiently, only to be rewarded with a mere, somewhat flippant remark.
“I have no opinion. Lord Gleeman, you can just decide for yourself.”
I hope you’ll bear with me if I’ve been a bit irregular in my shifts lately.
Yarded from zero to 2:30, stayed up late to make up a chapter. (╥╯^╰╥)
