Chapter 84: Marriage 2
As I said at the beginning, except for the Archduke Durali and the Grand Duke of Marseille Barton, who have not yet appeared, everyone in the major nobles gathered in the imperial capital at this time has their own careful thoughts. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the midst of this treacherous situation and turbulent undercurrent, Lawrence and Herbert have long discussed the need to support Crown Prince Elbert as the new lord of the empire.
Because Elbert has been staying in the city of secret law all year round, he has a shallow foundation in the empire. Even if he supported his ascension to the throne, Elbert could not escape the support of Erosa and Rosente in a short time.
And this is the biggest advantage of Lawrence and Herbert!
At that time, whether it is the danger hidden in the calm of the empire, or the fire of civil war is burning, the two who occupy the righteousness will take the lead.
At this thought, Lawrence and Herbert did not hesitate any longer, and they immediately bowed their noble heads to Elbert (the Grand Duke did not need to kneel to the emperor), which was also the etiquette of the Grand Duke towards the emperor.
"We are willing to support your ascension to the throne, Your Majesty Elbert!"
Elbert immediately turned sideways to avoid the great salute of the two archdukes, and he said to them excitedly, "I am grateful! I swear that I will never forget the friendship between Erosa and Rosente, and that I will be the closest ally of the two as long as I live!"
With the support of two of the Seven Kings of the Empire, especially the Clayderman family, the boulder hanging in Elbert's heart finally landed.
If he had only heard of Sylvia because of Emmanuel before, he had just seen the beauty of the legendary daughter of the frozen lake, and with his intelligence, he immediately realized that Sylvia must be inextricably linked to the Clayderman family.
In this way, it would explain why Icewind Keep, which remained absolutely neutral, repeatedly came to Erosa's aid.
And having Lawrence's support at the moment means that Charlotte will also be on her side. Similarly, Icewind Castle, which remains absolutely neutral, cannot be completely out of the way.
This means that Elbert has won the support of three of the seven kings of the empire in an instant, and he is almost invincible!
He inhaled deeply, and he couldn't contain his feeling that he was about to fly.
This can't be blamed on Elbert's poor psychological quality, in fact, any normal person will not be able to withstand the pressure in the face of such a predicament. For him, Lawrence and Herbert's allegiance was a ray of light in the darkness.
So that he can finally see the road ahead!
Cynthia wasn't as optimistic as he was, and she glanced at Lawrence with hidden concern. Since she was a child, she had to live in Erosa due to the imperial royal family, and naturally she has a lot of knowledge about Erosa's politics and military.
She understood that the victory over the alien races in the north had led Erosa to an extreme, that is, the most terrifying military aristocracy. The terrible monster was now not satisfied with the interests of the North, and it was staring at the world eagerly, greedily, to satisfy its master, Lawrence, his insatiable desires!
And the most terrifying thing is the awakening of the legendary Clayderman family inheritance artifact, the unrepentant streamer, or knightly glory, who owns it Vivien Leigh already has the prerequisites for reforming the mythical invincible dragon army.
Cynthia hid the worry in her eyes and smiled as she helped Mrs. Rebecca pound her shoulder. As an imperial princess, she has no arrogance, which is what Mrs. Rebecca has always liked most about Cynthia.
Cynthia skillfully massaged Mrs. Rebecca's loose bones, and she thanked the two Grand Dukes, "Thank you for your father and uncle's support!"
Her intimate title made several elders laugh, and taking advantage of this warm atmosphere, she said casually, "Mother, speaking of which, Sister Fei Wenli has also reached the age of marriage, and I have to hold a grievance for my sister." No matter how much you love your sister, you can't help but think about your sister's marriage!"
This made Vivien Leigh's face change dramatically, and she glared at Cynthia, and winked at Cynthia anxiously.
"Don't make me so unreasonable. Rebecca said with a smile, "Actually, I had an idea for a long time, and I originally liked Claire's child, but I heard that he was going to the Far North to practice spells, so I regretted giving up." I can't let my little princess accompany Claire to the place where the bones are staying. ”
Charlotte silently mourned for three seconds for Claire, who was not in the living room, wondering if he would regret hearing this.
"Aside from Claire, there are very few young people in the north who are barely worthy of my princess. Edie is not bad, but the kid ......" Rebecca gave Charlotte a strange look, which confused Charlotte.
"I'm really worried about Fei Wenli's marriage, but don't worry, I won't let my daughter suffer the slightest grievance no matter what. Rebecca was so shrewd that she patted Cynthia's hand as a sign of comfort, but never mentioned Elbert in front of her.
Cynthia knew that her actions were already a little offensive, and she stopped mentioning the matter, but looked at Elbert quietly.
Such support was enough for Elbert, who immediately bowed to Lawrence and Rebecca, and introduced himself, "Grand Duke and Madame, please allow me to introduce myself!"
"I, Elbert, am not as intelligent as Baron Clare, but I don't think I'm much weaker. And I have a sincere heart for Princess Vivien Leigh, and I swear that as long as you two agree, I will treat her with kindness and regard her as my treasure!"
Lawrence and Rebecca were silent, and as for Herbert, even though he was Vivien Leigh's uncle, he had no power to make a decision on the matter.
If Vivien Leigh was not the Master of the Holy Sword, the marriage was almost perfect for Lawrence. But the question is, if Vivien Leigh marries Elbert and becomes the Empress of the Empire, what will happen to the Holy Sword?
You know, the No Regrets Streamer is not just a legendary creation, it is also the foundation of the Dragon Legion!
Seeing that the two did not answer, Elbert suddenly became ruthless, gritted his teeth and broke the taboo that could not be declared.
"I really love the princess! I promise that if I can marry the princess, I can do without any dowry, and I am willing to give the ownership of the border cities of Biru and the Grand Canyon of Cavill as a dowry to Erosa as a dowry, as a sign of my sincerity!"
As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent!
The Calvi Grand Canyon is a joint territory between Erosa and San Lorenzo, and if the ownership of the Calvi Grand Canyon and Biru is handed over, it means that there is no defense north of San Lorenzo.
At that point, Erosa will be able to jump directly over the treacherous canyon and go straight north of San Lorenzo, which will be almost a smooth road during this time!
Not to mention that Elbert promised not to pay any dowry, which also meant that the ownership of the Holy Sword still belonged to Erosa. Paying just one princess to get a vast land of natural danger is a rare temptation for any politician!
Lawrence was shocked, he was at war with heaven and man at the moment.
It's not to blame Lawrence for selling women for glory. The point is, apart from the entanglement of interests, Elbert is indeed a rare son-in-law, whether in terms of identity or strength and wisdom, he is worthy of Fei Wenli.
And more importantly, at this time, both Lawrence and Lady Rebecca were aware of Aven's forbidden feelings for Vivien Leigh. So in fact, before this, Vivien Leigh's marriage had always been a worry for the couple, and they had long wanted Vivien Leigh to marry her, so as not to cause a shocking scandal in the Clayderman family.
Even Mrs. Rebecca hesitated, and she looked at Lawrence with an inquiring look in her eyes. The couple exchanged looks, and the respect they had for many years made them reach an agreement in an instant.
"Your Majesty, I am grateful for your sincerity towards the little girl. Your proposal, I approve ......"
Before Lawrence could finish speaking, Vivien Leigh's face turned pale.
She stood there, tears streaming down her blue eyes. In her field of vision, the originally spacious and bright living room became cramped and boring, her chest was tight, and her vision was spinning.
The seven-ring-level warrior couldn't support his slender but healthy and energetic body, and shook his dizzy forehead in place.
She almost fainted!
The shoulder was held by a not very strong but warm hand, and Vivien Leigh tilted her head sadly.
That's Charlotte!
At this moment, Charlotte pursed her thin lips and her eyes were resolute.
He knew that it was time for him to make good on Lucerne's promise!
