Chapter 278 He admits even though he suffered some losses!
“What conditions?”
Brand was a little surprised when he heard Mr. Cecil said that they had preserved the development process of the Wind King’s incarnation intact.
However, Brand frowned a little when he heard Mr. Cecil said there were conditions.
Originally, he was prepared to exchange the black rhinoceros armor fragments or the knight golem, but he did not expect that Lord Cecil had other plans.
"Don't worry, it's not a troublesome thing for you."
Looking at Brand in front of him, Mr. Cecil showed a smile on his face.
Then, he told Brand about his eldest daughter Janice.
Although this matter is a bit embarrassing for the Cecil family.
But it has actually spread within a small area, so there is no need to keep it secret.
And not to mention that the Holland family is their ally, they will need Brand's help later.
So it is very necessary to inform Brand about the matter.
In the Kaya Empire, marriages between nobles and commoners were not unheard of.
But if there is nothing particularly eye-catching on the civilian side, this kind of thing will only happen to the lowest nobles at most.
If the legitimate daughter of a middle-class noble like Janice Cecil wants to marry a commoner, then the commoner must be outstanding enough.
Otherwise, it would normally be impossible.
Of course, there are two special situations.
The first type is that some noble families have special regulations, and after the descendants meet certain conditions, they will promise not to interfere in the marriage of the descendants.
For example, in the Romine family, after Chris Romine defeated Count Romine in the magic chess game.
The Romine family promised in a contract: She gained the freedom of marriage.
The second option is to run away from the family, leave the Kaya Empire with your sweetheart, and elope!
"After what happened, Janice and I quarreled many times, and we even wanted to run out and elope with the kid at one point. In order to prevent this from happening, she is still under house arrest in the castle by me."
Listen to the real incident that happened in the Cecil family, like a biographical novel, in which the daughter of an aristocrat fell in love with a commoner boy.
Both Brand and Mr. Holland, who was watching from the sidelines, looked interested.
When hearing this, Brand asked curiously:
"Who is the man that Ms. Janice likes? What does he do now?"
Mr. Cecil said:
"His name is Campbell Beloso, he is 33 years old now. , has average talent, became a senior knight not long ago, and is now a member of the Imperial Legion.”
Senior Knight?
The strength of the senior knight should be good, right?
The next level is the Great Knight.
And he is from the Imperial Legion.
If he is lucky, he may be able to obtain enough contributions and meritorious service in this pioneering war to enter the aristocratic class.
The great knight and the noble status are barely equal to that of Ms. Janice!
Seemingly aware of Brand’s thoughts, Mr. Cecil added:
"Janice is my daughter after all. Since she likes the guy named Campbell, I will naturally not be completely unkind.
So I made an agreement with them that as long as Campbell becomes the Grand Knight, even if he doesn't Regardless of the title, I will not continue to interfere in their marriage."
Before Brand could say anything, Mr. Holland shook his head and said:
< br>“Is it so easy to reach the level of a great knight?
There are countless formal knights in the entire Kaya Empire, but there are only about a hundred true great knights.
To become a Grand Knight, reaching the end of the formal knighthood is just the threshold requirement.
After that, perfect inheritance, sufficient resources, and superb talents, no matter if any of them are lacking, the difficulty of becoming a great knight will skyrocket!
A senior knight of the Imperial Legion who was born as a commoner, he barely has a chance to acquire the inheritance, but he doesn’t know how long it will take to save the resources, and his talent is obviously not enough.
You know, the older you get, the less likely you are to become a great knight after your condition declines.
So instead of expecting him to become a great knight, it is better to expect him to gain enough war contributions and meritorious service in the pioneering war and enter the aristocratic class! "After hearing the words of Mr. Holland, Brand realized that it was extremely difficult for a senior knight to become a grand knight.
For civilians with average talents and lack of resources, the possibility of success is extremely low!
At this time, faced with Mr. Holland’s words, Mr. Cecil responded:
“If he wants to marry Janice as a noble, after the pioneering war, he must at least He has to become a middle-level noble in our current empire. In comparison, I still think it is easier for him to become a great knight."
Hearing this, Mr. Holland couldn't help but think. He showed a meaningful smile.
——If you want to become a middle-class noble, if there is no special opportunity, it usually requires several generations of hard work.
So Mr. Cecil actually doesn’t want Janice to marry that Campbell!
What I said before about "not being unkind" was just a casual comment!
Although he understood what Mr. Cecil meant, Mr. Holland did not raise any objection.
This kind of thing is actually the same on his side. A commoner with nothing outstanding wants to marry the legitimate daughter of a middle-class noble?
Go ahead and dream! ! !
Brand’s side, after hearing this, he probably understood the cause and effect.
But this matter seems to have nothing to do with him.
Wait until Brand asks this question.
Mr. Cecil explained: "That's it, Janice has been under house arrest by me for a long time, but it's not a problem to keep her locked up like this all the time. I just want to let her out. Find her something to do.”
After saying this, Brand still looked confused.
Master Cecil further said:
“You have a mage force under your command, and I want Janice to join you.
Of course, She is also asked to sign all kinds of contracts that need to be signed, and all matters are left to her without any distinction.
My only request is that they are not allowed to meet before Campbell becomes the Grand Knight. They are also not allowed to make any contact.
If this happens, you must stop it immediately. "
Hearing this, Brand immediately understood what Mr. Cecil was trying to do.
——This is to let him break up Janice and Campbell!< br>
After thinking briefly, Brand frowned and said:
“Although I have no objection to Ms. Janice joining the library, and the library is indeed eager for a talented mage like her, but her own What about willingness? I can't put her under house arrest in the library, right? ”
In this regard, Mr. Cecil promised:
“If Janice doesn’t want to join the library and wants to continue to be under house arrest in the castle, I naturally have no objection.
But being imprisoned After so long, I think she should accept my proposal.
To be on the safe side, I will ask her to sign a contract to serve the library and obey your reasonable orders before letting her go." br>
Although Mr. Cecil said so, Brand still frowned:
"But if you want me to prevent the two of them from meeting, I can't always send someone to guard Ms. Janice every day.
Even if there is a contract, Ms. Janice will obey my reasonable instructions, but I can't restrict Mr. Campbell's behavior.
He is a senior knight and a member of the Imperial Legion. If he makes some irrational actions, it may cause great harm to me or the library. Big trouble."
After hearing Brand's words, Mr. Cecil waved his hand and said:
"If there is really any trouble that you can't solve, the Chesil family will not do it. I will sit back and do nothing.”
"But..."
Although Brand wanted to say something else, Mr. Cecil interrupted with a look of displeasure:
"I'll add money!"
“That’s okay!”
Master Cecil had already reached this point, and Brand had no choice but to accept his conditions.
Let’s not talk about what the other party had in mind. Let’s look at this matter from his side:
He obtained the development process of the incarnation of the Wind King.
The library under his command acquired an extremely talented mid-level mage.
In addition, Mr. Cecil is also planning to add money.
The only bad thing is that you need to deal with possible trouble from a senior knight of the Imperial Legion.
From this point of view, although he has a "small loss".
But after all, it was the request of the allied family, and he accepted it even if he suffered a little loss!
