Chapter 612 The King’s Marriage 3
“Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?”
Paul stared dumbfounded at Hansel and his father, Earl Pearson Abbott, sitting in front of him.
His eyes were wide and round in disbelief, and his face showed a level of surprise that Hansel had never seen in Paul.
It took a long time for Paul to come back to his senses!
"I'm sorry, maybe I heard it clearly just now, Earl Abbott, can you say it again?"
"Ahem!"
Earl Abbott cleared his throat.
“Our King, Rodney XVIII, wants to make the royal family and the Gleyman family an in-law. He wants to marry his sister, his uncle, the former King Rodney XVII. The daughter of the world, Princess Catherine, marry you!”
Earl Abbott’s unequivocal answer completely confused Paul!
——
As Paul grew up, Butler Philip began to plan life-long affairs for him. Paul was the only direct descendant of the Graiman family. Reproduction of offspring was a very important task.
The old housekeeper asked him to look at some portraits from time to time and choose a wife that satisfied him.
Most of these portraits were of daughters waiting to be married from aristocratic families in the northwest bay, but Paul was always dissatisfied.
Don’t get me wrong, Paul is not like other time travellers. Even if the other person is an impeccable beauty, he still wants to talk about free love, independent marriage, and hates an arranged life.
If the family really arranged a marriage for him that satisfied him, Paul would have burst into laughter.
Paul once had wonderful fantasies about his significant other.
But his beautiful fantasy is not an interesting soul.
In this regard, Paul is a common man. The beauty in his fantasy is a beautiful skin.
But a good-looking skin needs a lot of water and soil to nourish it. The abundance of life and the precipitation of time can be "cultivated" from generation to generation.
And the northwest bay! Everyone knows what kind of place it used to be.
Nowadays, the Northwest Bay is very poor, but it still lacks the precipitation of time.
In his previous life, Paul had been bombarded by all kinds of beauties on the Internet.
This caused him to be a little reluctant to the girls in the northwest bay...he couldn't do it.
The two foreign beauties who came to him, Betty Diaz and Ladi Setia, agreed with Paul's definition of "good-looking skin".
But Betty's temper was a little arrogant. When Paul came into contact with her, he always felt that the other party was a bit condescending, and Betty later left Northwest Bay.
As for Ladi Setia...
With beautiful appearance, mysterious magic, and calm mind, such a character is very popular in any game or film and television work. .
There is indeed some ambiguity between Paul and the witch.
Facing Ladi Setia, Paul had one of the three major delusions in life more than once.
Especially when he was trying to make a big deal in industry or technology, or when he was scientifically explaining certain natural phenomena, Ladi, as a scholar, always looked at Paul with some kind of admiration.
La Di had risked her life to protect him more than once.
La Di has expressed more than once that she will be loyal to Paul and Paul's cause, but Paul is not sure whether this is similar to a knight's allegiance to the monarch or something else.
When Paul began to test or try to change the relationship between the two from an ambiguous relationship to another direction, he encountered resistance. The first resistance came from the old butler Philip. Philip knew Ladi's identity as a witch. When he discovered that Paul might have some illusions about this beautiful lady, he immediately warned his master.
"If Ms. Setia becomes your partner, once her identity is revealed, it will bring you huge trouble, even... tragedy!"
Paul asked in surprise: "Tragedy?"< br>
Philip replied: "Yes, it would be okay if you and her were just a lord and a vassal. After her identity is exposed, you can still protect yourself, or your prestige and power can be strong enough to overwhelm her. The people even turned against the church. "
"But if you become a couple, it will be different. Your wife will share your power and become the mistress of the territory. Your people may be able to accept their own lord. Under a witch, because she is also under your rule, but she may not necessarily be able to accept a witch ruling them. They will have doubts and fears, and eventually their doubts and fears will spread to you as her other half. "
"At that time, you had the bond of emotion and family, and even the greater bond of having a child. I know, Mr. Grayman, like your father, you are a very handsome person. People who get these things.”
"At that time, you and your witch wife will inevitably face some very bad choices. This will be a huge tragedy for you, especially your children."
< br>"Child? Philip, you are thinking too far!" Paul was a little funny after hearing this.
“No! It’s not far at all!”
Paul remembered clearly that Philip looked at him with pity, as if the tragedy had happened.
Always, Philip the steward, whom Paul regarded as his elder, was opposed, or at least disapproved.
The second level of resistance comes from La Di or Paul himself.
Ladi Setia is a woman with a calm personality. She is not the kind of iceberg beauty who rejects people thousands of miles away, but she cannot be said to be very passionate.
Every time some kind of ambiguity arose between Paul and her, this woman would always try to stop it.
Paul even once wondered whether the other party was hanging on him on purpose, just like the green tea in his previous life.
But after years of getting along with her, especially after she risked her life several times to protect herself, this suspicion was completely eliminated.
Paul also asked her in a subtle way about the spell caster's attitude towards marriage.
"Witches will bring disaster to their men." La Di replied seriously at that time, even with some kind of warning.
This coincides with what the old housekeeper said.
Paul also wanted to take the initiative to develop the relationship between the two, but he also had some worries.
What if La Di is resisting in her heart and he forces her away?
She is a witch, not an ordinary person. Paul lacks the strong restraint of a lord on his subjects like ordinary people.
If she wants to leave, can I stop her?
Regardless of La Di’s beauty, her magic has been of immeasurable value to him, saving his life several times, which is something Paul doesn’t want to lose.
And Paul quite enjoyed the occasional ambiguity between the two.
For various reasons, Paul did not want La Di to leave.
This also prevents him from taking the initiative to change the status quo.
