Because he doted on this daughter, even though he had something to talk about, Hornan did not ask anyone to invite Marina. Instead, he came to the white stone hut where Marina often lived. As soon as he opened the door, Marina smiled.
He came over and said, "Father, you are really awesome today. You don't know that when Yakuta said that he would take back the management rights of Meilin Avenue, Qiao Mi's face turned dark. He dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. It was really...
It's so ridiculous. According to me, you should have done this a long time ago, but it is still very impressive that the father can stand up for his daughter this time."
Marina's little mouth was like a barrage of words, which made three black lines hang directly on Hornan's forehead. This baby girl is not stupid. Why does she always say such funny things? Hornan knows
He didn't bother to explain what kind of temper his daughter had. He straightened his face and said inscrutably, "Whoever dares to touch my little angel will have to pay the price. As long as you are happy. Hey, you
Stop laughing now and let me tell you something. How are you considering this marriage?"
Marina's shoulders were shaking slightly when she was smiling. When she heard Hornan mention the marriage issue, her little face suddenly seemed to be covered with the frost of the twelfth lunar month. She pouted and said unhappy, "What marriage? I don't know, you don't know how."
You really plan to let me marry that fat guy Louis. I heard that the Frankish royal family is in a mess. If I want to marry you, I won’t marry you anyway. It’s getting late, I want to go to bed, so get out quickly.”
As she spoke, Marina stretched out her hand to pull Hornan up, and pushed her out with a cold face. Horner almost choked to death on her precious daughter, and slapped Marina dumbfounded, "You heartless person, just now
I solved Qiao Mi’s problem for you and you just forgot about it?”
"Forgot, forget, I can't remember anything, please leave quickly, I want to sleep." Marina's face was sullen, leaving no room for negotiation. Hornan shook his head in confusion, and went to bed before it got dark.
I didn’t even look for a good reason, "You really have no conscience. Hey, you girl, don’t push it. We have something to discuss. I just want to ask you. If you don’t like Fatty Lewis, let’s
You can change to someone else."
Marina's face changed very quickly, she let go of her hand and said with a smile, "Really, Father, why didn't you tell me earlier?" In the blink of an eye, Marina invited Huo Nan back into the house again, and the changes were rapid.
, even Hornan was quite amazed. This daughter is a very talented person. After sitting down again, Hornan carefully told Royce's story. He was a little scared. If something was wrong,
It would be really embarrassing to be asked out of the house again.
After hearing the details of the matter, Marina was indeed a little unhappy. Although she had not reached out to cling to anyone, her face was also very unkind, "Humph, I know you didn't have any good ideas. You sent away that damn fat man Lewis, and then
I have found an Oriental. I will ask you if it is okay not to marry. If not, I will find a rope and hang myself later."
Phew, Hornan just took a sip of hot water, and all of it spurted out. Looking at his serious daughter, he suddenly realized that this aunt would commit suicide? Isn't that the most ridiculous thing in the world? But judging from Marina's tone
In the middle, Hornan still judged that his precious daughter was still very resistant to the marriage. It was because he had doted on her too much before, and now he was reluctant to be strict. In fact, in the Holy Empire, marriage between nobles was
It is commonplace. It can be said that 99% of aristocratic marriages are marriages. This is also a consensus. Aristocratic women understand this truth from the age of eight, so there will be no resistance when they marry. When it comes to Marina, everything is
It’s different.
Hornan will not allow Marina to mess around. The Orientals are not Franks. They are about to attack Suplin Castle. No matter whether the marriage can be successful or not, they cannot make the relationship stalemate and offend the Orientals.
Not happy, and with the help of the northern White Grape nobles, can the Red Putang nobles headed by the Wei Ting family still have a way to survive?
At this time, it is completely wishful thinking to count on the eastern nobles and the Danube nobles. Facing the oppression of the Eastern people, these forces can only protect themselves, and how can they care about the Red Grape nobles. The Henry family and the Senate are not fools. It is estimated that this
I am currently thinking about how to build a good relationship with the Orientals. For the Kingdom of Lorraine, building a good relationship with the Orientals definitely has only advantages and no disadvantages. The construction of the Imperial Avenue running from east to west has begun. Once completed, this Imperial Avenue will
It will carry a large circulation of commodities, and whoever can get a share of it will bring endless wealth.
After pondering for a moment, he had an idea in his mind. Hornan took Marina's hand and patted it gently, "What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense. You are like this. God doesn't care.
I don't dare to accept you. Don't be too busy to refuse. I heard that the Eastern Emperor is not too old. Wait until you meet him. If you are not satisfied, we will think of other ways. In short, you have to cooperate.
I'll just deal with Royce. Since you are a woman from the Wei Ting family, you have to do something."
"Oh, that's okay." Marina is not the kind of person who makes trouble. There has been no news about the Easterners these days. I heard that Feistak City has been captured. The Easterners are so tyrannical.
, everyone has to give some face. If the marriage is refused abruptly, if the Easterners feel that they have lost face, it may bring great disaster to the family. Horner and Marina talked a lot, Marina
It has never been so quiet as today.
As the initiator of the marriage incident, Royce lived in Varro Manor calmly, as if the outside world had nothing to do with him. At the beginning, he did not expect that the Marlott caravan could generate such a big impact.
Due to the influence, the Wei Ting family blatantly took back the management rights of Meilin Avenue. The interests of Meilin Avenue were not fatal, but the significance was extremely great. Once this incident came out, it was impossible for Meilin City to continue to be peaceful. Sure enough, in the evening of that day, Jaku
Ta arrived at the residence and said, "Your Excellency Royce, the Duke has prepared a banquet in the castle hall, and please come and attend."
Royce didn't think much about it. According to normal circumstances, it was time for Hornan to make the next move. Although it was just a temporary banquet, no matter how small the banquet held at Varro Manor was, it would attract the attention of countless people. Many Merlins
All the nobles in the city came to the banquet, and Marina also changed her previous dress and put on a palace dress. Apart from the nobles of Merlin City, it was the foreign forces that attracted the most attention. Royce naturally represented the Ming Empire and the northern part of the country.
For the benefit of Lorraine, Caron, the envoy of the Frankish Kingdom, and the other member of the royal family from Tulin City, Moore Henry. As a prince, Moore was able to come to Merlin City in person. The purpose is self-evident, and it is naturally for marriage.
The incident came about because the marriage of the Weiting family would determine the final direction of the Lorraine Kingdom.
Caron still looked arrogant, walking among the crowd holding a wine glass, as if he were the owner of the manor, but Royce looked very low-key. Royce had to act low-key, this was the first time he had taken on an important responsibility.
If you have no experience, in this case, you have to watch more and think more, do less and talk less, because the more you do, the easier it is to make mistakes. It is better to stop quietly and let Cuarón and Moore take the lead.
The atmosphere of the banquet was warm and hot. The nobles exchanged glasses and chatted and laughed. But everyone knew that there would be a secret battle at tonight's banquet. This secret battle would directly determine the future trend of the Kingdom of Lorraine. Moore
I also made an idea with Royce. Of course, the royal family does not want the Weiting family to fall to the Orientals. The Weiting family to fall to the Orientals will not be good for the royal family at all. The Orientals are different from the Franks. Once the Weiting family turns to the Orientals,
If the Kingdom of Lorraine falls to the Easterners, the power of the royal family will be greatly reduced, and they will not have the slightest ability to resist.
If it were the Franks, with the strength of the Henry family, they could easily figure it out and get rid of the shackles. Cuaron thought more simply. He felt that the Orientals may not be that powerful. The Frankish Kingdom is close to the west coast, so why be afraid of the Orientals, Wei Ting
As long as the family is not a fool, they should know how to choose. The southern Red Grape nobles live under the feet of the Frankish Kingdom, and they must bear the consequences of falling to the East. Caron has strong confidence in the strength of the Frankish Kingdom.
Halfway through the banquet, Huo Nan sat down with representatives of all the forces. It was also strange that Huo Nan did not mention the marriage and alliance at all, but only talked about some insignificant things, and by the way, he also mentioned the Wei Lan family.
And things about the Luke family.
Hornan is not in a hurry. No matter how anxious the others are, they have to endure it. Everyone who can represent the negotiators is a scheming figure. Whoever cannot resist it first will be at a disadvantage. Royce upholds the principle
With the strategy of keeping quiet, Moore was free to watch the excitement, and Cuaron did not take the lead. At this time, Marina, who was dressed in a full dress, sat next to Hornan angrily, "Father, the Weyland family and the Luke family
They bullied people so much that they took away the boy's bay horse."
Moore and others were all a little stunned. They didn't know what Marina was doing. Even if the Weylan family and the Luke family wanted to take revenge, there was no need to attack a horse. That would be too shameful. Royce Zhang
He opened his mouth but said nothing in the end. Caron also frowned and cursed the old fox in his heart. Hornan seemed to ignore the other three and said to Marina dotingly, "Don't worry, they can't hurt you.
of."
Huo Nan seemed to be comforting Marina, but in fact he was secretly observing the other three people. Humph, how could it be possible without paying a price to get the support of the Wei Ting family? Huo Nan just wanted to show his
In terms of attitude, if you want to get the support of the Weiting family, it's not impossible. First, help defeat the opposition led by the Luke family.
Cuarón was the first to figure out the key to the matter, and Royce and Moore also figured out Hornan's intentions later. Moore was the most relaxed person. In comparison, Cuarón and Royce were a little tangled.
Will this help help? Hornan is too cunning. He didn't mention the alliance at all. The Luke family's affairs were also told through Marina's mouth. They didn't talk about the alliance at all. Can it help?
It's all voluntary. Caron has a headache. The Luke family and the Weyland family are also established forces in Merlin City. Especially the Luke family is known as the evergreen tree in the South. Being able to be among the Merlin nobles for a hundred years without falling is a strength in itself.
.
If Hornan agrees to the marriage, it is not a problem for the Frankish Kingdom to help defeat the Luke family. The key is that Hornan's current attitude is very subtle. What if the marriage still cannot be achieved even after helping, isn't it a waste of money?
?
Cuarón and Royce are calm on the surface, but they are constantly arguing in their hearts. After all, Royce is not as mature as Cuaron. His face is getting more and more anxious. He has never encountered such a bad thing.
Long looked very calm. After thinking for a moment, he put down his wine glass and said with a smile, "My lord Duke, you are a friend of the Frankish Kingdom, and your enemies are the enemies of the Kingdom. If there is any trouble, the Frankish Kingdom will do its best to help."
Mo Kan's words were indifferent, but they already showed Caron's attitude. Royce's heart skipped a beat, and he regretted that he was too conservative. Seeing Hornan smile and nod to Caron, he felt uneasy.
The feeling became even stronger, and he couldn't help but stand up, took two steps forward, saluted Marina, and then took out the luxurious box he was carrying, "Dear Miss Marina, this gift belongs to the North Lorraine family.
I hope you can accept it. As a subordinate of the Governor, Royce swears an oath to Miss Marina on behalf of the Sosa family. All it takes is one word from Miss Marina, and the Sosa family will go through fire and water, no matter what."
Royce's movements were too fast, and Hornan was a little surprised. Marina looked at the gold box in front of her at a loss, especially because there was a hidden secret in Royce's words. Hornan glared at Luo with some hatred.
Yis glanced at Decolle's son, who is really a bit quick-witted. It was originally a difficult choice, but it was thrown into Marina's hands. At this time, Marina would choose, no matter what kind of choice, it would mean acquiescing to the marriage.
, because only the future princess of the Eastern Emperor can order the Sousa family. If there was no one around, Hornan would like to tear this young Royce apart with his own hands. This guy is simply too sinister.
Marina took the box containing the Queen's Flower tremblingly and looked at Hornan at a loss. During the previous discussion, she did not mention this situation. Royce, this guy, simply doesn't follow the routine.
Damn it, if you have the chance, you will definitely tattoo seven or eight holes on Royce's body, it won't be so disgusting.
"Okay, okay, it's just a trivial matter, why bother you. Since it's the Northern Lorraine family's wish, Marina, just accept it first. As for the Luke family's matter, we will solve it ourselves," said Hornan.
The superior was comforting Marina, but his voice was not quiet, and people at the banquet could hear it clearly. At this time, not only Royce breathed a sigh of relief, but even Caron also let out a long sigh of relief. Anyway,
It’s a good thing that everyone didn’t get tricked by Hornan.
