Broad World

Following the Grand Duke to the long dining table, Henry was arranged by the butler to the first position on the Grand Duke's right hand, and Shikodi was sitting opposite him. The girl seemed more nervous than before, she lowered her head and cut her own steak without saying a word. Anta Yindun raised his glass and said to Henry: Welcome to join the noble system and become one of us. I can tell you the rules and mysteries of the game between this circle later. Henry raised his glass slightly He took a sip and put it down gently. He hated the taste of wine too much. After the Grand Duke apparently noticed the ignition, he asked, Why doesn't this wine suit your taste? I'll ask the housekeeper to change it. Henry stopped him with a smile. That's not the case. I have always obeyed the teacher's teaching and never drank alcohol. So I have some rejection of alcohol. Anta Yindun suddenly realized after hearing this. You are really a strong-willed person. You must know that there are not many people who can resist the temptation of fine wine. I heard that your teacher is Archmage Tyrantyr?

Yes, I was fortunate to study under his guidance for more than a year. I didn't complete the mage's systematic education until this spring. Henry said after cutting off a small piece of steak.

The Grand Duke smiled and said: Then you are really a genius, you can get the approval of a grand master in such a short period of time. I also got news that you were recommended by the Seven Suns Business Alliance, and with their Very close. You once gave them a large number of magic potions to sell, and recently made a salt deal with Jasuo?

Henry swallowed the piece of meat in his mouth. Thanks for the praise. I got a lot of help from the business alliance, and Mr. Jasuo also helped me get a title and become a nobleman. These trades are part of the feedback.

Your character of repaying kindness is admirable, but I need to remind you not to entrust all the trade to Seven Suns, it will cause dissatisfaction among many people. You are now a lord with a land, you need Be neutral to the merchants. Only in this way will you gain more support. Anta Silver Shield reminded.

Henry thought for a while and felt it was dangerous to put eggs in one basket. After wiping his mouth, he said to the Grand Duke: Thank you for your reminder, except for magic potions 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 His Majesty the Grand Duke is interested.

Hahahaha, it seems that you have found the knack of trading in this circle. To be honest, I am very envious that Seven Suns can find such a big gold mine like you. Of course I am very interested in spices, but I don't know your varieties and output. Ann 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, which 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 plant nutmeg, pepper and ginger. The planting area will be large. It is estimated that there will be the first batch of crops 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. I will lead the fleet to your island next spring and talk about it About the spice trade. The Grand Duke looked at him meaningfully and said.

Henry ate the last morsel on his plate. Then I'll wait for your visit there. Also, thank you for your hospitality tonight. The dinner is very sumptuous.

Anta Silver Shield smiled. If you don't mind, may I ask if you have a lover or a marriage partner?

Henry was a little alert immediately, as if he knew what the Grand Duke wanted to do, he shook his head. I have been on the road of pursuing strength, and I don't have time to think about it for the time being.

Then how about marrying my family, you can choose one of my sister or my daughter. This way we can form a tight alliance, you can get more voice in this city, and I can Get a strong support in the future. Anta Yindun pointed to his sister and daughter.

Henry fell silent. He thought for a while that if he married the Grand Duke, the benefits would be obvious. It is impossible for him to stay in this city all the time. If there is an unexpected situation, if there is someone who can speak loudly for him here, there will be a lot of trouble left. And it can integrate into the upper class faster, and won't be excluded because of newness. The only downside is that his daughter doesn't seem very reliable. After thinking about the pros and cons, he said to the 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 Yindun stroked his beard. Then it's settled. We'll hold a grand banquet to celebrate in a few days. Shikodi, come and meet your future husband now. He's a young, wealthy and powerful man.

The girl tensed up and looked at Henry tremblingly, then whispered: Your Excellency, I will be your fiancee from today onwards. In the future, I will help your family to prosper and fulfill the obligations of a wife .”

Henry smiled and walked in front of her and kissed Shikodi gently on the forehead. Don't be too nervous, my lovely fiancée. You'll love my property when you get there.

Mrs. Brila came over and took Skodi's hand. Tomorrow I will start teaching Skodi some family management, and I will also prepare a large dowry.

Madam, in terms of dowry, I think some management talents are very good. You must know that there is no shortage of money in my territory, but various personnel. In addition, Your Excellency, this is the family crest I designed. Henry finished speaking Pass over your design drawings.

After seeing it, the Grand Duke said: Pretty good design, I will submit it to the parliament. Also, please rest assured that I will match a large number of housekeepers, blacksmiths and gardeners in the dowry. Ma'am, I think we should take it with us now. Shiki will leave for a moment. Give these two young men a moment to themselves.

Mrs. Brila smiled and picked up her daughter and kissed her husband. Honey, I didn't expect you to be so interesting after so many years. You can tell what young men and women need most at a glance. Anta Silver Shield showed a meaningful smile at Henry and then led his wife and Daughter walks up the stairs.

After everyone left, there were only two people left in the hall. Shikodi seemed to relax a lot after being kissed. She stroked the long black hair on her forehead and said to Henry: Your Excellency, do you mind listening to my story?

Henry kept smiling. Of course not, talk about it if you want. It helps us understand each other.

I am an illegitimate daughter. I was not valued by my father after I was born. I have been living in the family's castle since I was a child, receiving various noble education so that I can become a tool for family marriage. Today, when my brother notified me of coming, I was very nervous. , but you look all right. Young, handsome, well-spoken, and a promising mage and nobleman. That's pretty much the story I've heard from bards.

Henry smiled after hearing his fiancee's evaluation. Most of the stories in the bard's mouth are unbelievable. Since you told your own story, let me tell mine too. Then Henry slightly cut back on his experience after crossing to Shikodi Say it again.

She was fascinated, and she came back to herself after Henry finished speaking. It's a wonderful life experience! I look forward to the day when I become a couple with you. It's getting late, you should go back early, I'm going back to the house to rest. After she finished speaking, she walked to Henry and kissed him gently blushing and ran upstairs.

After bidding farewell to the butler, Henry turned and walked out of Anta Yindun's mansion to the street. On the way back, he thought to himself: This marriage looks pretty good, at least his fiancée is not a slut, a nympho, or a shrew. Except for a little nervousness, Shikodi's performance is generally considered rational and stable. Judging from her tone of voice, she doesn't have much affection for the Silver Shield family, and I believe she will become her good helper to manage things in the territory in the future. When he returned to the boat, he found that the carnival was still going on. The half-orc warrior walked over to him with blurred eyes and said, Boss! You are back, tell me what is delicious for the nobles' dinner? He sighed Take a breath. Is there anything else to eat here, I'm starving. I've been talking about politics, trade, and marriage all dinner time, and I haven't eaten well at all. Hawk also came over and brought a large plate of beef. I knew for a long time that you would not be full. I reserved these specially for you. I seem to have heard about the marriage just now? Henry nodded, gave a general overview of the whole thing, and then buried himself in the food.

Hawke took out the pipe and lit himself, then took a deep breath. You did the right thing, you maximized all the benefits. And Miss Shikodi is also a beautiful girl, isn't she. When are you going to hold the celebration? Henry swallowed what was in his mouth. Within a week. We are short on time now, and we need to go back as soon as possible to complete the infrastructure construction of the entire territory. Tomorrow, Kagan and Amy will go back to Belgoost, and I will leave things in the city to you Alright. Hawke nodded. No problem, you are now the earl and you have just married the duke, no idiot will trouble us at this time. Vaughan walked over to Henry after drinking the last bit of wine in the glass and said, Head! Come on me, I'm going to be moldy if I stay on the boat all the time. Henry thought for a while and thought that taking Vaughan on the way back could protect his mother and sister, so he agreed to his request. After eating the beef, he asked the people who set off tomorrow to stop carousing and go back to the room to sleep, and he went back to the room to sleep.
