While Leo was immersed in his own world, on the other side, veterans and upstarts in Moscow were discussing the future of the war.
One of the two men was Anwar Faris Nour, who managed most affairs outside Moscow's walls, and the other was Yegor Ivanovich Serikhov.
Anwar has a relatively neutral attitude towards the future of the war. He believes that there is a 50-50 chance that there will be problems in the future.
Yegor, on the other hand, was full of optimism about the future. He believed that there would be no problems in the war, and the prince's army would be able to smoothly wipe out the enemies in the east.
However, although the two sides had differences, they did not choose to convince the other party, but chose to shelve the dispute. On this issue, they both chose to use time to speak in the end.
As for why these two people got together, it was because one was a typical outsider. He had been in the army for the past few years since he came to Moscow and had little contact with the outside world. He would naturally agree to talk to someone.
The other one has to be cautious at all times. Talking to a loner like Yegor has the lowest risk, so as not to be judged as a faction or something.
The expression on Yegor's face was much better than when he met with Rostislav. After all, the prince had sent troops to assist his family, and recently there was a message from the family saying that the situation was generally stable.
The easing of the situation made him feel relaxed, and he no longer felt so nervous throughout the day.
Moreover, the work is also very leisurely. As a veteran camp, the management of the Moscow Battalion does not require much effort.
But every time he saw the veterans of the Moscow camp, Yegor couldn't help but mourn for his old commander Dill. His old commander really worked extremely hard, and the group of newcomers tested his temper and tolerance every day.
Spend.
At first, Yegor concentrated on talking with Anwar, but soon, his eyes were attracted by other things.
What caught his attention were the girls who were either active on the dance floor or standing shyly next to their elders. These girls were different from the ones he usually saw. What were they he saw back then? Even the beautiful ones were already attracted by them.
The torment of labor is gone.
But these are the daughters of good families in Moscow. They have grown up in a superior environment. For example, those rural girls are countless times more beautiful.
Yegor is also a young man. He couldn't help but be attracted to these daughters of good families in Moscow. Even in the few years since he came to Moscow to serve as a soldier, he has never seen many beautiful girls. After all, people have been here all the time in the past few years.
Inside the military camp.
"Well? What are you doing? Oh, that's it... Speaking of which, Yegor, how old are you? I remember you are not married yet."
As Yegor became more and more absent-minded, Anwar naturally noticed his attention. There was some blame in his eyes, but more of it was understanding. After all, Yegor looked so young, and a young man was full of desire for girls.
Very normal.
"I'm 26 years old and not married yet."
Yegor touched his head.
"I have been following the adventures of my father and brother before. When I came to Moscow, I was still alone. Naturally, there was no one to match me. Moreover, I stayed in the military camp in Moscow for a long time and could not contact any young ladies, so I was single all the time.
"26...This really surprises me."
Anwar stroked his beard. He didn't expect that this man looked like he had just grown up.
The next surprising thing is that he is not married. Generally speaking, he should have several children at this age.
As for why Yegor didn't get married, it was because he really didn't care about it. Although his family was a powerful person in Yaroslavl, they were still very busy every day, and he was too busy to pay attention to it.
Of course, the most important thing is that you still haven’t found one that catches your eye.
"I think now is a good opportunity. Yegor, look here. Look at how many people have brought their children. Why do you think they brought their children here?"
"Social communication? No, I don't think that's the case. We don't see most people here every day except those Greeks."
Yegor thought to no avail. In fact, this was the first time he had seen a banquet of this scale. Everything felt very strange to him, so naturally he could not understand Anwar's hint.
"Sir Anwar, what is the reason for this?"
He finally decided to ask directly. No matter what, it was always the right thing to ask.
"Haha, it seems that you have very little exposure to these things. Look around, what do you see?"
Anwar laughed a few times and then began to reveal the answer.
"A party?"
The topic changed a bit quickly, and Yegor frowned. He really didn't understand the deeper meaning.
"Please give me some advice, sir."
"What ordinary people see is a grand banquet, but what I see is a marriage ceremony between Russian and Greek nobles! The wealthy businessmen and citizens also want to participate. I don't know how many people are jumping up and down in this hall, fighting for their lives.
I want to sell myself or my children out! I saw many such things when I was in Persia, but they were not as grand as here."
"Marriage. Yes, this is indeed a good opportunity."
Yegor immediately realized that Anwar had been hinting at this meaning.
And Yegor's thinking was also very quick. After uncovering the doubts, his thinking naturally extended.
"So many noble people gather here to communicate with each other and choose partners, and many of those Greeks will definitely have a place in the princely government in the future. This is indeed an excellent opportunity, and there are suitable marriage partners everywhere.
, everyone is likely to find someone they like. But sir, why do you say this is a good opportunity for me?"
"You really have no consciousness at all. Since you could just say those words, why couldn't you think of your own situation?"
Anwar shook his head, his tone full of hatred, and he even wondered if this man was pretending to be stupid.
"You are the most sought-after person in this game! If it weren't for the fact that you have been talking to me and don't have contact with others on weekdays, you would have been visited by noble people, and they would have to queue up in front of you. You see
Depend on your own conditions: Heir to the Yaroslavl dignitaries, popular in the eyes of the Prince of Moscow, and the family business is rising steadily, and he will definitely be supported by the Prince of Moscow in the future. Anyone who wants to strengthen the family power or maintain the family hierarchy
No noble person will let you go. Speaking of which, if I didn't have a daughter to marry, I would have made you my son-in-law."
Yegor was a bit dumbfounded by this, how could he suddenly become a high-quality resource in the Moscow dating market.
"Okay, okay, I know that for you, an adventurer and soldier, these noble games are too far away for you, but your current status determines that you must understand these."
After saying this, Anwar glanced around, and then said to Anwar
"Tsk, I'm going to watch the show first, so as not to block the way of those guys who want to marry you. Just wait here for them to come up and promote your daughter. By the way, I'll give you a piece of advice, no matter how you plan for the future
Yes, but you must remember that you are the first heir of the Shelikhov family. You carry the burden of the family. You must choose carefully. Some choices may make you regret it for the rest of your life, and may even make your family completely destroyed.
Any palace is a place full of intrigues and intrigues, and this will never change."
After Anwar said these meaningful words, he took the wine glass and walked away to watch the performance of a variety of opera artists. The thoughtful Yegor stood there alone.
And just as Anwar said, not long after he left, a nobleman came over with their daughter. They first made love with each other, and then introduced their daughter to the senior Moscow officer in front of him.
And Yegor was able to cope with it easily. After all, Anwar had given him a warning before, but in response to these hints and requests, Yegor kneaded the dough and refused to tell the truth.
Although he is now the heir of the Serikhov family, he has never received the education that a family heir should receive.
He understands that these things cannot be acted upon according to his own will, so he should wait quietly for his father's arrangements.
