Chapter 612 The King's Marriage 3

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?"

Paul stared at Hansel and his father, Earl Pearson Albert, who were sitting in front of him.

His eyes were wide open because of disbelief, and his face showed Hansel's surprise to a degree that Paul had never seen before.

It took a long time for Paul to come back to his senses!

"Sorry, I may have heard it clearly just now, Earl Albert, can you say it again?"

"Ahem!"

Earl Albert cleared his throat.

"Our King, Rodney XVIII, wants the royal family and the Graman family to become in-laws. He wants to marry his sister, Princess Catherine, the daughter of his uncle, the former King Rodney XVII, to you!"

Earl Albert's definite answer completely stunned Paul!

——

As Paul grew up, butler Philip began to arrange his lifelong affairs. Paul was the only one left in the direct line of the Graman family, and reproducing offspring was a very important task.

The old butler asked him to look at some portraits every now and then, and choose a wife that satisfied him.

Most of these portraits were of the daughters waiting to be married in various noble families in the Northwest Bay, but Paul was always dissatisfied.

Don't get me wrong, Paul is not like other time travelers. Even if the other party is an impeccable beauty, he will still shout about free love, marriage autonomy, and hate the arranged life.

If the family really arranged a marriage partner that satisfied him, Paul would have laughed so hard that his saliva would flow.

Paul once had a beautiful fantasy about his other half.

But his beautiful fantasy was not about an interesting soul or something.

In this regard, Paul was a vulgar person. The beauty in his fantasy was a good-looking skin.

But a good-looking skin needs to be nourished by the soil and water. The richness of life plus 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.

The Northwest Bay is not poor now, but it lacks the sedimentation of time.

In his previous life, Paul had been bombarded with all kinds of beauties on the Internet.

This made him feel a little bit reluctant to the girls in the Northwest Bay... He couldn't do it.

The two foreign beauties Betty Dias and Ladi Setia who came to him agreed with Paul's definition of "good-looking skin".

But Betty's temper was a bit arrogant. When Paul came into contact with her, he always felt that she was a bit condescending, and Betty later left the Northwest Bay.

As for Ladi Setia...

With beautiful appearance, mysterious magic, and a calm mind, such a character is very popular in any game or film and television work.

There is indeed some ambiguity between Paul and this witch.

Facing Ladi Setia, Paul has had one of the three major illusions in life more than once.

Especially when he was making big promises about industry or technology, or when he was giving scientific explanations for certain natural phenomena, Ladi, as a scholar, always looked at Paul with a certain admiration.

Ladi had protected him at the risk of her life more than once.

Ladi had also expressed more than once that she would be loyal to Paul and his career, but Paul was unsure whether this was similar to a knight's loyalty to the monarch or had other meanings.

When Paul began to test or try to transform their relationship from an ambiguous one to another, he encountered resistance.

The first resistance came from the old butler Philip, who knew Ladi's identity as a witch. When he discovered that Paul might have some fantasy about this beautiful lady, he immediately warned his master.

"If Lady Setia becomes your partner, once her identity is revealed, it will bring you great trouble, or even...tragedy!"

Paul asked in surprise: "Tragedy?"

Philip replied: "Yes, if you and she are just a lord and a vassal, it would be fine. After her identity is exposed, you can still protect yourself, or your prestige and power can be strong enough to overwhelm everyone and even fight 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 that their lord has a witch under his command, because she is also under your rule. ”

“At that time, you had emotional and kinship ties, and even a bigger bond of children. I know, Lord Graman, like your father, you are a person who values ​​these things very much.”

“At that time, you and your witch wife will inevitably face some very bad choices. This will be a huge tragedy for you, especially for your children.”

“Children? Philip, you think too far!” Paul laughed.

“No! Not far at all!”

Paul remembered clearly that Philip looked at him with a pitying look at him at that time, as if the tragedy had already happened.

No mistake, one post, one content, one book, one bar!

Invariably, butler Philip, who was regarded as an elder by Paul, was against it, or at least disapproved.

The second resistance came from Ladi or Paul himself.

Lady Setia is a woman with a calm personality. She is not the kind of iceberg beauty who keeps people away from her, but she is not very passionate either.

Every time Paul and her have some ambiguity, this woman always stops at a whim.

Paul even suspected that the other party was deliberately hanging him, just like the green tea in his previous life.

But after years of getting along, especially after she risked her life to protect him several times, this suspicion was completely eliminated.

Paul also asked her indirectly about the attitude of the caster towards marriage.

"Witches will bring disaster to their men." Lady answered seriously at the time, even with some warning.

This coincides with what the old housekeeper said.

Paul also wanted to actively develop their relationship, but he had some concerns.

What if Lady resisted in her heart and he forced her away from him?

She is a witch, not an ordinary person. Paul does not have the strong control over Ladi that a lord has over ordinary people.

If she wants to leave, can he stop her?

Regardless of Ladi's beauty, her magic has played an immeasurable value to him and saved his life several times, which is what Paul does not want to lose.

And Paul quite enjoys the occasional ambiguity between the two.

For various reasons, Paul does not want Ladi to leave.

This also prevents him from actively changing the status quo.
