Chapter 482: Divorce?
"Don't hide it, my lord, this time I came here on the instructions of Master Hecubeldo, and I came here specifically for Miss Elena's affairs." Richelieu groaned for a moment and spoke.
As soon as he heard the name Hecubeldo, Belen's face immediately became serious, because this Hecubeldo is definitely the number one famous person in the empire, whether it is identity or status, compared to himself, he is definitely not far behind.
Hecubeldo, the sixth level of the Empire's Great Magus, the Prime Minister of the Empire, in the Alpha Empire, is a big man above ten thousand people under one person.
Even if Belen @ Haruman sees him, he has to bow his head and three points.
In addition, Belen @ Haruman and Hecubeldo have a deep friendship, the two were close friends in their early years, they joined the army together, and they were good brothers who changed their lives on the battlefield, although the two later chose different paths.
Belén @ Haruman remained in the army, while Hecubeldo abandoned the army and entered politics, but the two have maintained close contact with each other.
Later, Hecubeldo heard that Belen had a baby granddaughter Elena, so he half-jokingly proposed that his granddaughter marry his grandson Harant in the future, and Belen also smiled and agreed.
Now Elena is twelve years old, and the talent she shows is also amazing, and her talent and appearance are stunning, so that this girl has become the envy of everyone, and I don't know how many aristocratic sons she has charmed. It's just that Elena is the precious granddaughter of Generalissimo Belen, so many people just sigh at the girl. Don't dare to act rashly.
Seeing this talented girl grow up day by day, and Hecubeldo's grandson Harant has also become a fourth-class warrior and also served as a junior officer in the army.
It seems that the matter of two people talking about marriage should also be put on the agenda, but it seems that it is better for Hekubeldo to come in person, with the relationship between the two families. It's okay to sit down and talk slowly, but why would Hecubeldo send an intermediary?
Although there are doubts in the mind. But after years of experience, Deberen @ Harruman has already developed the habit of being moody, and there is no movement on the surface, just nodding lightly. There are no words.
"Master Hecubeldo. I wanted the lower official to tell Lord Belen that his grandson, Young Master Harrant, had been seriously injured in the war and could be disabled for life, so... Therefore, I am afraid that I will delay Miss Elena's future happiness, so I want to ask Lord Belen to dissolve the marriage contract between the two families? As soon as Richelieu's words came out, Belén @ Haruman couldn't help frowning. Eyes widened instantly.
"What? Is Harant seriously injured? Belen @Harut asked with a frown.
"It's true, Young Master Harant is in battle with the orcs. Unfortunately, he was shot in the left arm by a poisoned arrow, and the virus spread very badly, maybe Young Master Harrant's left hand will not be saved. Richelieu said with a solemn face.
Belen @ Harut was surprised, but also felt very unfortunate, Harant is a good young man, whether it is magic talent or fighting talent is excellent, is an excellent magic swordsman in the army, if you train it well, it is likely to be a good general in the future, but, I didn't expect this to happen.
Once you lose an arm, the whole person will almost be wasted, and if you lose an arm, your fighting strength will be greatly weakened, and no matter how hard you work in the future, I'm afraid you won't be able to compare with others.
"Master Hecubeldo knows that Lord Belen only has a precious granddaughter, Miss Elena, so he asked the lower official to make such a request, although he knows that it is really a reluctant request, but he still bothers Lord Belen to agree and dissolve this marriage." Richelieu stood up and pleaded.
Belen@Harruman's face was gloomy, and his brows were tightly furrowed.
Although what Richelieu said was reasonable, after all, the original marriage contract was agreed to by himself, not to mention, he and Hecubeldo have been close friends for many years, and his grandson is tantamount to his own grandson, so just because of a misfortune, did he give up easily?
Hekubeldo was afraid of dragging himself down, so he let people dissolve the marriage contract, if he broke the marriage contract like this, wouldn't it be too ruthless and unrighteous? If this spreads in the army, how will you lead the troops in the future?
After thinking about it, Belen sighed softly, "Lord Richelieu, please tell the Prime Minister, I'm afraid I can't agree to this matter, even if Young Master Harant really becomes disabled, my granddaughter will still not remarry, and when Elena is fifteen years old, I will let her marry Young Master Harrant." ”
Hearing this, the corners of Richelieu's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Belen @ Harruman in embarrassment.
"Lord Belen, before Lord Hekuberdo ordered his officials to come to your mansion, he also specially told him, saying that Lord Belen doesn't have to worry too much, the responsibility for this repentance is all on Lord Hekubeldo, and it will definitely not let the Haruman family be affected, you can rest assured." Richelieu said.
"Oh, he's very generous, and he's got a lot of money, so you tell him that my old man Belen is not a treacherous villain, and Harant is the son-in-law of my Harruman family even if he is crippled." Belen slapped the table and said emotionally.
"This ......" Richelieu looked embarrassed, but he didn't know what to do for a while.
"Alright, Lord Richelieu, it's not too early, I'm not feeling well, I'm out of company." After saying that, Belén @ Haruman turned around and went to the back hall, and Richelieu had no choice but to get up and say goodbye and leave the marshal's mansion.
After Belen returned to the back hall, he was in a little unhappy, "This Hekubeldo, does he still regard me Belen as a close friend?" It's too much to see me Belen @Harruman as such a superficial person. ”
"Grandpa, what's going on? Did Grandpa Hecubeldo you off? Elena came to Belen's side and asked strangely.
"You, Grandpa Hecubeldo, are really old and confused, and you actually want me to break your marriage contract with Harlant, do you say it's ridiculous?" Belen said angrily.
Hearing this, Elena's pretty face was slightly red, and there was a look of shyness in her beautiful eyes.
"Grandpa, Elena is still young, don't get married, Elena wants to stay with grandpa and serve grandpa." Elena sat on Belen's lap and snuggled up in Belen's arms.
Belen stroked Elena's back with a smile and shook her head: "Silly girl, how can a man marry a woman when she gets married, how can she guard her grandfather for the rest of her life?" What's more, it's not that grandpa can't take care of himself, and he doesn't need you to serve him.
As long as you can be happy, grandpa will be satisfied. ”
"Grandpa, if you don't want to get married, you have to stay by your grandfather's side."
"Girl, if grandpa lets you marry someone who is not in good health, will you hate grandpa?" Belen patted Elena on the shoulder.
"Huh? What did Grandpa say? ”
"Elena, you are not a child anymore, there are some things, it is time for you to know, when you were very young, your grandfather once had a marriage contract with Hekubel, and when you grow up in the future, he will marry you to his grandson Harlant, Hekoubeldo is the prime minister of the empire, and controls the government of the empire, and I, Belen, am the generalissimo of the navy and army of the empire, and I control the army of the empire, if we marry the two families, the future power, even His Majesty the Emperor will not be shaken.
This is also the main reason why I dare to continue to stay in the military, as long as you marry Harrant, and our Haruman family forms an alliance with the Belize family of Hecubeldo, then, no one will be able to shake the power of our two major families in the future, and even if Hekubel is ambitious, overthrowing His Majesty the Emperor and creating a new dynasty may not be unsuccessful, so even if Harant becomes a disabled person, but grandpa still wants you to marry him, you won't blame grandpa, right? Belen's words made Elena's little heart beat uncontrollably.
An imperial marshal is actually planning the throne, even if it sounds, it will make people can't help but be creepy, if it leaks out, it will definitely be a big crime to be beheaded and punish the nine clans.
"Grandpa, what did you say? I don't understand. Elena pretended not to understand, but in fact, she wanted her grandfather to retract her thoughts, because that kind of thought was too dangerous.
Although His Majesty has just ascended the throne not long ago, neither leadership nor prestige is enough to compare with his grandfather, but the good guy is the legitimate emperor of the empire and has a reasonable and legitimate ruling position, as a courtier, how can he covet the position of others?
"Hehe, silly girl, here is just you and grandpa, what can't you say? What's more, you are no longer a child, and you should be able to understand your grandfather's good intentions. Belen @ Harruman patted Elena on the back and said.
"However, everyone has already come to the door to withdraw from the family, if we continue to insist, isn't grandpa afraid of being ridiculed?"
"How so? If Grandpa agreed to the resignation of the Belize family at this time, it would be ridiculed, and the more times like this, the more we keep our promises, so that people will think that our Haruman family is a family that has made a promise, and more people will be willing to follow us. Belen @ Harruman said with a smile.
"Elena, you are grandpa's only hope, and you are also the future heir of our Harluman family, whether the Harruman family can prosper in the future depends on you, looking at the Alpha Empire, the only person who can really be relied on is the Belize family, and only by marrying Harrant can you keep the glory and status of the Harluman family." Belen @ Harruman looked at Elena and said earnestly. (To be continued......)
