Chapter 197: The Fate of the World (5)
In a small town market, Marianne Bradford walked home with a bamboo basket of vegetables and a few equally young female companions, and most of the women of the village came here to buy vegetables.
Although they were walking on the muddy road, they still talked and laughed.
No matter what the year is good or bad, young people are always happy.
To say that this is a town is probably only a little more than the stone houses in the village, and there are more pedestrians, which is too far from the town that William Wallace saw in the east, even in Egypt.
However, William Wallace didn't care about the simplicity of the place at all...... The whole town doesn't even have a hard-sided road, it's all muddy dirt roads.
He really didn't care about any of that, and there was only one person in his eyes: Marianne Bradford.
A few British soldiers wandered around the town idly, making rounds of the town...... The economy here is so bad that there is no oil or water at all!
They didn't come here with the English aristocracy just for military service...... A middle-aged soldier with a lewd face snatched a pear from a pear vendor and looked around as he gulped it down.
At this moment, he inadvertently saw a young Scottish man riding a white horse accosting a young Scottish woman, and the two soon ran away on the same horse.
He noticed that the young Scottish woman had a beautiful headscarf on her head, which was different, and he had never seen a headscarf of that style...... He began to look forward to seeing her next time.
William Wallace made the big decision to marry Marianne Bradford in order to show his true love...... Of course, he also had to ask a pastor to marry him and receive God's blessings.
In order to show his true love, he decided to break the law and not make his wedding public, preferring to die rather than hand over Marianne's first night rights!
Marianne Bradford didn't expect this, it all came too suddenly...... She obediently obeyed his arrangement.
In a sparse grove, a kind priest solemnized their marriage and expressed his sincere blessing to them on God's behalf.
The moonlight on this night was extraordinarily charming, and this golden boy and girl finally became a "legal" couple, but it was in accordance with the normal law.
Marianne Bradford clutches her chest and says, "I'm scared ......"
William Wallace said calmly, "Don't be afraid to break the law...... My former officers called the Tatars' so-called 'first night power' the law of evil, and we must destroy them! ”
"Are the Tatars more vicious than the English?"
"Ten times more vicious, I still killed ......"
"God, you are a hero......"
"I'm just an ordinary soldier, thanks to the people in that place for giving me freedom...... It will keep me and my loved ones together forever. ”
"That place is wonderful...... I'm a little tempted......"
"Well, I'll definitely take you there."
The night flowed between them like water, bringing with it a kind of ambiguity peculiar to life.
William Wallace stripped himself naked, and the muscles on his body were full and shaped...... His masculine markers stand tall and unafraid.
He gently took off her dress for Marianne Bradford, who was trembling incessantly, until she showed her all.
Two young adults stood before God like newborn children......
O life! O life! O life!
Two young men and women, blessed by God, began to linger in the watery night.
The moon was shy and hid behind the clouds...... Only their gasps could be heard between heaven and earth.
The love between them is freely expressed, no one can restrain them, and no power can separate them!
But good times are always short-lived...... The next morning, it was early.
Marianne Bradford, like a woman who had been married for a long time, meekly waited for William Wallace to get dressed.
William Wallace said, "When the crops I have planted are harvested, I will build a few more small factories so that the people here can live happily and prosperously...... You don't know, our lives are too bitter and bitter than the people in that place. ”
Marianne Bradford yearns to say: "I believe everything you say......"
"Hmmm! A happy life is built with our hands! ”
In the royal palace of England, Isabelle, the newlywed wife of Crown Prince Edward Chester, and her maid sit boredly on a stool in the hallway, talking in French.
Her maid said, "He's been with Richard Gaviston all day, I've heard too many rumors......"
Isabel groaned in pain and said, "Everything is God's arrangement......"
In the fencing room, Crown Prince Edward Chester and Richard Garveston knights are battling swords, the crown prince is covered in sweat, but the knights are acting with ease, and can keep shouting between fights:
"One step further!"
"Straighten your arms!"
"Hit the left hard!"
It wasn't until Crown Prince Edward Chester was too weak to lie on the ground that the two ended the sword fight.
The two of them came out of the sword room talking and laughing, and Isabel and her maid immediately got up to greet her, but they were pushed away by Crown Prince Edward Chester and walked past her without paying attention.
Isabel's face was full of despair, and no amount of bright oriental silk could hide her sadness.
Her maid cursed viciously in French.
Edward's long-legged retainer Nebore stopped Crown Prince Edward Chester on the way, saying that he had something important to discuss.
He can push away his new wife, but he doesn't dare to treat the minister Nebole slowly.
Minister Nebole said: "Two news...... The bad news is that 70 percent of the Scotland region is refusing to pay taxes; The good news is that some Oriental merchants want to lease a piece of land by the London River to build some kind of business district, and the price is very high, 10,000 silver coins a year! ”
Knight Richard Gaviston hurriedly said, "You can ask for fifteen thousand silver coins a year, I bet they will agree!" ”
The Chancellor's eyes did not turn to the knight who was rushing to speak, and still said to the crown prince Edward Chester: "...... It was just a saline land, useless at all, and even the waterfowl didn't want to stay there...... I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agrees to lend-lease or not? ”
Crown Prince Edward Chester said, "Ask for fifteen thousand silver coins...... If they don't agree, it's still 10,000 silver coins. ”
"As you wish!"
The Chancellor said goodbye gracefully, ignoring the knight at all.
Knight Richard Gaviston looked at the back of the minister hatefully and said, "It just so happens that there is military money to quell the troubles of the Scots!" ”
Crown Prince Edward Chester put his arm around his waist intimately, believing that he was absolutely right.
