Chapter 53 Marriage

Followed the Grand Duke to the long dining table. Henry was arranged by the butler to the first position on the Duke’s right hand. Sitting across from him was Shikodi. The girl looked more nervous than before, she lowered her head and cut her own steak without saying a word. Anta Silver Shield raised his wine glass and said to Henry: “You are welcome to join the noble system and become one of us. I can tell you about the rules and mysteries of the game in this circle in a moment.” Henry raised the wine glass for a while. He took a sip and put it down gently. He hated the smell of wine too much. After the Grand Duke apparently discovered the ignition, he asked: “Why is this wine not to your taste? I asked the butler to change a bottle.” Henry smiled and stopped him and said: “Not so, I have always followed the teacher’s teachings. I don’t drink alcohol. So I have some rejection of alcohol.” Anta Silver Shield suddenly realized after hearing this: “You are really a determined person. You must know that there are not many people who can resist fine wine. I heard about you. ‘S teacher is Archmage Tylan Tyre?”

“Yes, I was fortunate to have studied under his instruction for more than a year. I didn’t complete the systemic education of the mage until this spring.” Henry said after cutting a small piece of meat.

The Grand Duke smiled and said: “Then you are really a genius. You can get the approval of an archmage in such a short time. I also got news that you have been recommended by the Seven Suns Merchant League and have a relationship with them. Very close. You once gave them a lot of magic potions for sale, and recently concluded a salt deal with Jasso?”

Henry swallowed the meat in his mouth and said: “Thanks for the praise. I received a lot of help from the Commercial League at the beginning, and Mr. Jasso helped me get a knighthood and become a nobleman. These trades are part of the reward.”

“You know that the character of the Entubao is admirable, but I need to remind you not to give all the trade to Seven Suns to do, it will cause a lot of dissatisfaction. You are now a lord with the ground, you need Remain neutral to the business people. Only in this way can we get more support.” Anta Silver Shield reminded.

Henry thought for a while and felt that putting the eggs in a basket was dangerous. After wiping his mouth, he said to the Grand Duke: “Thank you for your reminder. Apart from the magic potion and salt, I will not give them more trading opportunities. In addition, I plan to plant some spices on the territory. I don’t know if your Excellency is interested.”

“Hahahaha, it seems that you have found the trick of trading in this circle. To be honest, I am very envious of Seven Suns being able to find you such a big gold mine. Of course I am very interested in spices, but I don’t know what your variety and output are.” Ta. Silver Shield said to him after a burst of laughter.

Henry thought for a while and felt that his territory was warm and humid. It should be more suitable for growing nutmeg, pepper and ginger. He drank a spoonful of soup and said to the Grand Duke: “I plan to grow nutmeg, pepper and ginger. The planting area will be very large. It is estimated that the first batch will be produced next spring.”

“It seems that your territory will be very prosperous in the future. These spices need a warm climate to be planted in large quantities. They are very tight for the entire northern region. Next spring, lead a fleet to your island and talk about it. The spice trade.” The Grand Duke looked at him meaningfully and said.

Henry ate the last thing on his plate and said, “Then I will be there waiting for your visit. Also, thank you for your hospitality tonight. The dinner is very rich.”

Anta Yindun smiled and said, “If you don’t mind, can I ask if you have a lover or marriage partner?”

Henry immediately became a little alert that he seemed to know what the grand prince wanted to do. He shook his head and said, “I have been on the path of searching for power. I don’t have time to think about it for the time being.”

“So how about marrying my family? You can choose one of my sister or my daughter. Then we can form a close alliance, you can have more voice in this city, and I can Get a strong support in the future.” Anta Silver Shield pointed to his sister and daughter.

Henry fell into silence. He thought for a moment that the benefits would be obvious if he married the Grand Duke. It is impossible for him to stay in this city all the time, and if there is an accident, if someone can speak loudly for him here, a lot of trouble will be left. And it can also integrate into the upper class faster, and will not be excluded from the circle because of the new. The only drawback is that his daughter does not seem to be very reliable. After thinking about the pros and cons, he said to Grand Duke: “I agree with your proposal, I decided to take your sister. As for your daughter, she is too young, and she doesn’t seem to like me very much.”

Anta Silver Shield touched her beard and said, “That’s all. We will have a grand banquet to celebrate in a few days. Shikodi will come to meet your future husband now, he is a good one. A young, rich and powerful man.”

The girl stretched nervously and looked at Henry with a little trembling, and then whispered: “Your Excellency, I will be your fiancee from today. From now on, I will help your family to prosper and fulfill the obligation of a wife. .”

Henry walked to her with a smile and kissed Shikoudi’s forehead lightly and said: “Don’t be too nervous, my lovely fiancee. You will love it when you reach my territory.”

Mrs. Brira came over and took Shikoudi’s hand and said, “Tomorrow I will start to teach Shikoudi some family management matters, and I have to prepare a large dowry.”

“Madam, in terms of dowry, I think some management talents are very good. I have to know that there is no shortage of money in my territory now, but all kinds of personnel are lacking. In addition, Your Excellency, this is the family crest I designed.” Finished Henry. Pass your own design drawings.

After seeing it, the Grand Duke said, “It’s a pretty good design. I’ll give it to the council. Don’t worry, I’ll include a lot of housekeepers, blacksmiths and gardeners in the dowry. Madam, I think we should take it now. Shi Ji left for a while. Give these two young people a little time to be alone.”

Mrs. Brira smiled and hugged her daughter and kissed her husband, and said, “My dear, I never thought you were so interesting after so many years. You can see at a glance what young men and women need most.” Anta. Yin Shield showed a meaningful smile at Henry and then took his wife and daughter up the stairs.

After everyone left, there were only two people left in the whole hall. Ever since Shikody was kissed, she seemed to relax a lot. She stroked the long black hair on her forehead and said to Henry: “Your Excellency Earl, don’t you mind listening to my story?”

Henry kept smiling and said, “Of course not, just talk about it if you want. This will help us understand each other.”

“I am an illegitimate daughter, and I was not valued by my father after I was born. When I was a child, I lived in the family castle and received various noble educations in order to become a tool for family marriage. Today my brother informed me that I was very nervous when I came. , But you look good. You are young, handsome and polite, and at the same time a promising wizard and nobleman. This is almost the same story I heard from the bard.”

Henry heard his fiancée’s evaluation and smiled and said, “Most of the stories in the bard’s mouth are unreliable. Now that you have told your own story, let me tell my story.” Then Henry said to himself. The experience after the crossing was slightly cut back and I said it to Shikodi.

She was fascinated. When Henry finished speaking, she came back and said: “What a wonderful life experience! I look forward to the day you marry you. It is getting late, you should go back soon and I will also Go back to the house and rest.” After speaking, she walked to Henry and kissed him gently on the cheek, then blushed and ran upstairs.

Henry said goodbye to the housekeeper and turned around and walked out of Anta Silver Shield’s mansion and came to the street. On the way back, he thought to himself: This marriage looks good, and his fiancee is at least not a slut, a nymph, or a bitch. In addition to being a little nervous, Shi Koudi was generally sensible and steady. From her tone of voice, she doesn’t have a lot of favor with the Silver Shield family, and believes that she will become her own good helper in managing the affairs of the territory. When he returned to the boat, he found that the carnival was still going on. UU reading www.uukanshu.com half-orc warrior drank with blurred eyes and walked over to him and said, “Head! You are back, tell me what the nobles have dinner.” Delicious?” He sighed and said, “Is there anything to eat here? I’m going to die of starvation. I’ve been talking about politics, trade, and marriage throughout dinner, and I didn’t have much good food at all.” Ke also walked over and brought a large plate of beef and said, “I knew you would not be full. These were reserved for you. I seemed to have heard of the marriage just now?” Henry nodded and took the whole piece. I talked about the matter briefly and then ate my head and ate.

Hawke took out a pipe for himself, took a deep breath, and said, “You did the right thing. You maximized all your benefits. And Miss Shikodi is also a beautiful girl, isn’t it? You guys. When do you plan to hold the celebration?” Henry swallowed what was in his mouth and said: “Within a week. We are very short of time now, and we need to go back as soon as possible to quickly complete the infrastructure of the entire territory. Tomorrow I, Kaigan and Ai Mi will return to Belgoost, and the things in the city will be left to you.” Hawke nodded and said, “No problem, you are now the earl and you have just married the duke, no idiot will be here. It’s time to trouble us.” Vaughan drank the last drink in the glass and walked over to Henry and said, “Head! Take me tomorrow, I’m going to get moldy if I stay on the boat.” Henry thought for a while and felt that he would take it. Vaughn could protect his mother and sister on the way back, so he agreed to his request. After eating the beef, he asked those who were leaving tomorrow to stop carnival and go back to the room to sleep, and he went back to the room to sleep.
