Chapter 1418: Two Annas and the Earl of Philadelphia
The elder Hoffman had fallen into a frenzy, and the Hoffman family had been the coated minions of the Lamarck family for generations...... No, it's the Knight of the Coating...... Now, their family actually has the opportunity to marry the princess of the lord's family, how can they not make old Hoffman excited?
This plot is even more inspirational than Diaosi's counterattack to marry Bai Fumei. How to say, if the Lamarck family is compared to a large family in ancient times, then the Hoffman family has been the guardian of the Lamarck family for generations, or is it a "family child" who has been a slave for generations......
However, have you ever heard of a young lady from a large family marrying the son of a nurse in her own home? No, absolutely nothing! Of course, this nursing home later went to join the army, except when a general came back. However, this is rare, rare......
Marin, a time-traveler, may not quite understand the thoughts of the old "Clothed Knight" of Hoffman, after all, even if he crosses over, he has never played for the Lamarck family. The only person Marin has served for is probably Emperor Maximilian I, and he has a very high starting point. So, I really don't feel anything about the Lamarck family or anything.
I can't bear the fact that the Hoffman family has been a knight in the Lamarck family for more than 200 years! The idea of dying for the lord of the Lamarck family is deeply rooted in the soul of old Hoffman. And from the time he succeeded to the throne after his father died of illness when he was young, the elder Hoffman worked for the Lamarck family for more than 20 years, until the monster Marin came out of the family......
After being a "clothed knight" for more than 20 years, he suddenly learned that the princess of the lord's family was willing to marry his third son, and the old Hoffman was so excited that he almost lost his breath......
So, when Marin showed a hesitant look, old Hoffman almost beat Marin violently......
"You bastard, that's the princess of House Lamarck! Our Hoffman family has been a vassal of the Lamarck family for more than 200 years, and now, an opportunity to marry the princess of the Lamarck family is in front of us, if you fail because you don't try your best, Lao Tzu will beat you every day! Old Hoffman was in a hurry in Marin's office.
In the eyes of the old Hoffman, who has served the Lamarck family for more than 20 years, the princess of the Lamarck family, the princess of his own family, is the fairy in the sky...... No, there are no fairies in Europe, only angels...... Well, it's angels...... High......
Now, Princess Anna of the Lamarck family marries and becomes Simon's wife. Then, the noble Princess Anna will follow Simon to call her father in the future......
"Ahaha......" Thinking of this situation in the future, old Hoffman wanted to float a little......
"As for it...... Anna called my uncle last time......" Marin muttered quietly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Marin was kicked in the ass......
"What do you say? You still let Princess Anna call you uncle? You've got a big face! "This is a natural reaction to the allegiance of the Lamarck family for more than twenty years. Hearing that people said that they didn't look down on their eldest lady, as a loyal servant, they subconsciously wanted to make a move......
But after kicking Marin, old Hoffman reacted - yes, his second son is too good, and his former master, John II, also called him a brother. Marin said that Princess Anna called him uncle, and that was not bragging......
Old Hoffman suddenly felt that the Hoffman family must have been blessed by God himself. Otherwise, how could a "coated knight" family have such a pervert as Marin? Moreover, even the third son, who is not angry, actually has the opportunity to marry the princess of the lord's family......
So, old Hoffman cried excitedly, and suddenly laughed again......
Seeing old Hoffman crying and laughing, Marin was a little frightened - the old man can't be crazy, right?
Fortunately, old Hoffman was not crazy, but he gave Marin a death order - be sure to make Simon the count of Ukraine as soon as possible. Then, make sure that Simon can marry Princess Anna...... If he can't do it, the old man plans to kick Marin's ass every day......
……
Marin was depressed, but he couldn't get angry at the old man. Then, after the old man was taken away by Lady Mary, he kicked Simon in the ass in retaliation.
"Makes you giggle! Makes you giggle! Seeing Simon giggling there, Marlin was angry.
Then, he made up two more feet, and squirted:
"You're 31 years old, and you're still worried about the 18-year-old girl, are you ashamed?"
But Simon took it for granted:
"If you marry a wife, you must marry an 18-year-old, do you want to marry a 30-year-old? Please, 30-year-olds are generally widows......"
Marin was choked up for a moment, Simon's words were really right. Because, in this era, European women are generally married before the age of 20. Moreover, divorce is not allowed in this era. Therefore, a single person at the age of 30 can only be a widow or a nun. But it is impossible for a nun to get married, unless, you want to be hunted down by the church. Therefore, the only 30-year-old woman who can marry is a widow......
However, Marin suddenly thought of a very interesting thing -
"Hey, Simon, it seems, that lover of yours is also called Anna......"
Previously, after Simon was injured, he had taken possession of a nurse girl who was serving him, also named Anna......
Simon was suddenly a little embarrassed:
"yes, they're all called Anna......
Thinking of the little cabbage Anna who was forcibly arched by Simon, Marin wanted to laugh a little. Then, he asked Simon:
"Two Annas, what are you going to arrange?"
Simon suddenly hesitated:
"If only you could be like the second brother, it would be nice to arrange them all in the palace......"
Simon is talking about Marin's arrangement of his wife Angela and mistress Felise in the palace of Aurich. However, Simon wanted to do this, and it was impossible......
After all, Felise is not an ordinary person, but Angela's own sister, also the Pope's daughter. That's why Angela can tolerate it. What if someone else was trying? The identity of the housewife is not a joke. It's like Liver Fu Shuizi, although he came to Orich with Liver Fu Nobunaga, he could only live in a small mansion outside the palace and didn't dare to enter the palace. Of course, Marin doesn't treat Liver Fu Shuizi as a normal wife, but he just likes to make Liver Fu Shuizi shout "Ya Extinction Zone" when he does that. All in all, Marin possessed Liver Fu Shuizi only because of Ma Lin's feelings for the Japanese ***** in his previous life, and he didn't really love Liver Fu Shuizi. Even, Marlin didn't love Felise. For a monarch, love is not necessary, the national interest is the primary consideration......
Eventually, Simon gave up on the tempting idea of taking Nurse Anna into his Earl's Palace. After all, Princess Anna of the Lamarck family is not ordinary, and it is impossible to tolerate Anna's little nurse snatching her husband with herself in front of her. Therefore, it is the most appropriate way to purchase another house for resettlement......
……
It just so happened that in this auction, Marin received goods worth millions of gold coins. So, Marin simply took out more than 200,000 gold coins worth of goods from the 300,000 gold coins and shipped them to Lithuania as the "final payment" for Simon to buy the earl's title and fief. Once the balance is received, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania will officially grant Simon the title and fief of "Count of Ukraine......
After settling Simon's case, Marin suddenly remembered that Albert, another brother who served him, had not yet been rewarded. After all, the two little brothers can't favor one over the other. In particular, Albert also worked hard for himself......
Marin then signed the Grand Duke's Decree granting Albert the title of "Earl of Philadelphia", whose fief was in the area southwest of New York in what would become Philadelphia.
Of course, there is no Philadelphia now. New York is the core area, and Marin doesn't want to give. Then, the Philadelphia area, 160 kilometers southwest of New York, has become a good choice.
And, Philadelphia is in a good location. Philadelphia is located near the mouth of the Delaware River and belongs to the alluvial plain of the Delaware River, and the land is very fertile. Giving this place to Albert as a fief is not a disadvantage to him. It's very close to New York Harbor, and the next step in development is almost here. When the time comes, Albert will not suffer a loss.
