Chapter 613: The King's Marriage 4
In the Northwest Bay, there is a custom similar to that in some places in previous lives. Age is recorded according to virtual years.
When Paul had just awakened to the memory of his previous life, it was the year 1990 in the holy calendar. He was 14 years old in disguise but 13 years old in reality.
After being put on the shelf and being a lord for five years, which is now the year 1995 in the holy calendar, he is already 18 years old.
People in the Northwest Bay get married very early, and Paul is quite an older man there.
Myron Gardner, who is about the same age as him, was engaged to the daughter of a nobleman last year.
Derrick Heller, who is two years older than Paul, is already the father of a child.
Because Paul was picky about his marriage, this made the old housekeeper Philip anxious.
Especially after a rebellion was triggered due to the reform not long ago, the old housekeeper was even more anxious about Paul's marriage.
This time when Jingyao went south to meet the king, the old housekeeper was interested.
If the girls from the Northwest Bay catch your eye, there will always be Jingyao.
So he begged Paul to socialize more in Jingyao, attend more banquets, and bring a mistress to the Grayman family's castle.
Of course, he also knew that Paul was not sociable, so he also begged other people traveling with him to "guide" Paul as much as possible.
On the way to Jingyao, Paul also had some fantasies.
But he did not expect that his lifelong event would come in such a way.
Hansel's father, Earl Pearson Abbott, was sent to him by King Rodney XVIII and asked if he would be willing to become a life partner with Princess Catherine Rodney.
Catherine Rodney, the dream lover of many nobles and talented people in the kingdom, actually... actually wants to marry me?
Not long ago, he met this famous princess in uniform.
Her appearance is impeccable. Unlike Ladi Setia who is as calm as water, Catherine's beauty is an aggressive and coercive beauty.
Although she doesn't speak much, every sentence is sonorous and powerful, rich in some kind of power.
All of the above may be a unique temperament developed by being in a high position for a long time, especially commanding an army that is overwhelmingly male for a long time.
She is simply the royal sister among royal sisters.
As for whether Paul is satisfied or not with such a woman, he must be one thousand percent satisfied.
After a long silence, Paul asked Earl Abbott, "What does the princess mean?"
Baron Pearson Abbott smiled at him, "Since it is the wish of His Majesty the King, , I think Her Royal Highness the Princess will be happy too.”
ah? So are you happy or unhappy?
Paul felt there was something mysterious.
"This...can you let me think about it?"
This is not pie in the sky, it is simply a big gold mine!
Can such a good thing happen in the world?
Even if there is, can you catch it yourself?
Paul had some doubts about the above issues and he had to find someone to discuss them with.
Earl Abbott was slightly surprised by Paul's answer.
"Okay, do you need me to tell the king that you are considering it? Or, let me delay the reply for some time and directly bring to His Majesty the exact answer of yes or no."
Paul After thinking for a while, he said: "If possible, I hope it is the second one."
The king wants to marry his sister to him, so why should he pretend to think about it?
Earl Abbott nodded, "Okay, I will go to the palace tomorrow afternoon to reply to His Majesty, and you will have one day to think about it before that."
Listening to my father and Paul's conversation made Hansel feel excited.
There is still a bit of sourness in this wave. After all, there is no aristocratic child in Jingyao who has not had admiration for Princess Catherine. But the most important thing is to re-examine Paul. Is the Earl of Alda powerful enough for the king to win over him through marriage?
Of course, Hansel also knew some other things through his father, such as the new king's fear of the supporters of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
But if it was just out of fear, the king could marry his sister elsewhere. There were too many choices.
But His Majesty chose Paul Graiman.
Hansel could not help but persuade and said: "Lord Graiman, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you become in-laws with the royal family, you will become one of the top people in the kingdom."
“The Northwest Bay will also play an important role in Aldo’s political scene.”
Hansel's voice was full of temptation, but he also had his own considerations.
As an official who has worked for Paul for many years, if Paul becomes a high-level official in the kingdom, his importance will also increase with the tide.
"You are right, Hansel, so I need to think more carefully."
Oh, if I had known that I would have brought old Ford or Philip to Jingyao, they would definitely have Analyze and analyze for yourself.
Paul sent away the Abbotts and his son in a confused state.
He closed the door, returned to his seat, and fell into a long silence.
——
“What?”
Unanimous words of surprise echoed around the table.
Myron, Victor, La Di, Bernard, Hansel who was called back, and several other northwest nobles who were friends with Paul on weekdays - Price Parker, Dai Rick Heller and others are now gathered in a room in Alda's office in Jingyao.
"The famous Princess Catherine, the king... actually wants to marry him to you?"
Everyone expressed their disbelief.
"What? Do you think I am not qualified to marry her?"
Paul was a little angry. OK! That’s how you see me.
“Oh, don’t get me wrong, Paul!”
Earl Parker came out to smooth things over, "It is a big event for a princess of a kingdom to get married. No matter who she is married to, everyone will be surprised when they hear his name."
"What is your opinion?"< br>
"Why do you need to ask for advice? Of course I agree."
Price Parker's tone was very firm.
“It is the dream of many nobles to marry a member of the royal family. And marrying this Princess Catherine is something that many nobles dare not even dream of.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Myron and Victor echoed his words.
“This is a great good thing! We can’t be more envious of it.”
“Just be brave, Paul!”
It seems that they all find it difficult to agree. .
Paul turned his gaze to La Di with a hint of inquiry.
"Well, ahem, Ladi, what do you think?"
The witch did not answer immediately, and Paul saw her in a daze for the first time.
He waited patiently, but the result was just a somewhat light word.
"I don't have any opinion. Lord Graiman, you can make your own decision."
I have been a little lazy recently, so I hope everyone will understand me.
From 0:00 to 2:30, I stayed up late to make up a chapter. (╥╯^╰╥)
