Chapter 613 The King's Marriage 4
In the Northwest Bay, there is a custom similar to some places in the previous life, which is to record age by age.
When Paul just awakened his past life memory, it was the year of the Holy Calendar 1990. He was 14 years old in age, but 13 in actual age.
After being forced to be a lord for five years, that is, in the current year of the Holy Calendar 1995, he is already 18 years old.
People in the Northwest Bay get married very early, and Paul is a well-known old young man there.
Myron Garnard, who is about the same age as him, was engaged to a noblewoman last year.
And Derrick Heller, who is two years older than Paul, is already a father of a child.
Because Paul is picky about his marriage, this makes the old butler Philip very anxious.
Especially after a rebellion was triggered by the reform not long ago, the old butler is more anxious about Paul's marriage.
This time, he went south to Jingyao to meet the king, and the old butler had an idea.
If the girls in the Northwest Bay are not in your eyes, there will always be girls in Jingyao.
So he begged Paul to socialize more in Jingyao, attend more banquets, and bring back a hostess for the Graman family's castle.
Of course, he also knew that Paul was not good at socializing, so he also begged others to "take care of" Paul as much as possible.
On the way to Jingyao, Paul also had some fantasies.
But he didn't expect that his lifelong event would come in such a way.
Hansel's father, Earl Pearson Abbott, was sent to him by Rodney XVIII to ask him if he was willing to be a partner in life with Princess Catherine Rodney.
Catherine Rodney, the dream lover of many nobles and talents in the kingdom, actually... actually wanted to marry him?
Not long ago, he met this famous princess in military uniform.
Her appearance is impeccable. Unlike Ladi Setia's calmness, Catherine's beauty is an aggressive and oppressive beauty.
Although she doesn't say much, every sentence is sonorous and powerful, full of a certain power.
The above may be the unique temperaments developed by being in a high position for a long time, especially commanding an army dominated by men for a long time.
She is simply the queen of queens.
As for whether Paul is satisfied with such a woman, he is definitely 100% satisfied.
After a long silence, Paul asked Earl Abbott, "What does the princess think?"
Baron Pearson Abbott smiled at him, "Since it is the king's intention, I think Her Royal Highness will be happy with it."
Ah? So is she happy or not?
Paul felt that there was something mysterious.
"This... can I think about it?"
This is not a pie in the sky, it is simply a big gold mine falling!
Is there such a good thing in the world?
Even if there is, can I catch it?
Paul had some doubts about the above questions, and he had to find someone to discuss it.
Earl Abbott was slightly surprised by Paul's answer.
"Okay, do you need me to tell the king that you are considering it? Or should I delay the reply for a while and give His Majesty a definite answer directly, whether it is OK or not."
Paul thought for a while and said, "If possible, I hope it is the second one."
The king wants to marry his sister to him, so should he pretend to consider it?
Earl Abbott nodded, "Okay, I will go to the palace to reply to Your Majesty tomorrow afternoon, and you will have a day to consider it before that."
Hansel's heart was stirred by the conversation between his father and Paul.
There was a little bit of sourness in this wave, after all, which noble son in Jingyao had not admired Princess Catherine.
But the most important thing is to re-examine Paul. Is this Earl of Alda so powerful that the king can win him over through marriage?
Of course, Hansel also knew some other things from his father, such as the new king's fear of the supporters of Her Royal Highness.
But if it was just out of fear, the king could marry his sister to other places, there were too many choices.
But His Majesty chose Paul Graman.
Hansel couldn't help but persuade him, "Lord Graman, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you become a relative of the royal family, you will become one of the highest-ranking figures in the kingdom."
"Northwest Bay will also play an important role in the political arena of Aldo."
Hansel's voice was full of temptation, but he also had his own considerations.
As an official who has served Paul for many years, if Paul becomes a high-ranking official in the kingdom, his importance will also rise with the tide.
"You are right, Hansel, so I need to consider it more carefully."
Alas, if I had known earlier, I would have brought old Ford or Philip to Jingyao, and they would have analyzed it for me.
Paul sent Abbott and his son away in a confused state.
No mistake, one post, one content, one book, one bar!
He closed the door, returned to his seat, and fell into a long silence.
——
"What?"
The words of surprise rang around the table.
Myron, Victor, Ladi, Bernard, Hansel who was called back, and several other Northwestern nobles who were on good terms with Paul - Price Parker, Derrick Heller and others, are now gathered in a room in Alda's office in Jingyao.
"The famous Princess Catherine, the king actually...actually wants to marry her to you?"
Everyone expressed disbelief.
"What? Am I not qualified to marry her in your eyes?"
Paul was a little annoyed. Okay! That's how you see me.
"Oh, don't get me wrong, Paul!"
Earl Parker came out to smooth things over, "It's a big deal for a princess of a kingdom to get married. No matter who she marries, everyone will be surprised when they hear his name."
"So what's your opinion?"
"Why do we need to ask for opinions? Of course I agree."
Price Parker's tone was very firm.
"Bringing a royal blood home is something that many nobles dream of. And marrying this Princess Catherine is something that many nobles dare not even dream of doing."
As soon as he finished speaking, Myron and Victor echoed him.
"This is a great thing! We envy her more than we can."
"That's right, be brave, Paul!"
It seemed that they all found it difficult to agree.
Paul cast his eyes on Ladi, with a questioning meaning in his eyes.
"Well, ahem, Ladi, what do you think?"
The witch did not answer immediately. It was the first time Paul saw her in a daze.
He waited patiently, but the result was just a somewhat light-hearted remark.
"I don't have any opinion. Lord Graman, you can decide for yourself."
I have been a little lazy recently, please forgive me.
I worked from midnight to 2:30, staying up late to make up for one chapter. (╥╯^╰╥)
