"All right, Uncle Odega, you win, and I will send messengers to Wales; In any case, even if I agree to marry that young lady, I have to see what the woman means, right? ”

It was a bright morning, and even though the sun had only just risen in the east, the peaceful warmth was already shining on everyone. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Days like these are precious to the people of Brittany.

Especially in the spring, at the time of spring ploughing; You must know that on weekdays, Brittany is always a rainy place, and it can be said that God bless you to meet such a sunny and good day.

The same is true for Magnus.

At that time, he was eating breakfast, boiled eggs and white bread - don't ask him why he ate them - even though he was almost ready to vomit at the sight of these two things, he still gritted his teeth and ate them.

Because other foods are more ...... than this. Disgusting.

In addition to the pungent fishy smell that cannot be removed, there are also unknown floating objects (human vomit) of unknown origin; The so-called green vegetable soup is even more stewed, and if you look through it carefully, you may find a big fat worm with six times the protein of beef......

Then, most importantly, even at Magnus's strong request and the urging of the whip, the kitchen was finally kept clean, but the chef who cooked for him never had a good habit of washing his hands after urinating and defecating!

And in the Middle Ages, there was no paper to wipe your ass!

So they rub the ashes with grass and wood, or with their hands......

Eating a meal made by such a chef, Magnus would rather starve to death!

So he only eats white bread and boiled eggs, at least these two are the cleanest on the surface.

- Although Magnus also had the idea of correcting these guys' bad habits, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, even if they threaten with a leather whip, these guys will only heal their scars and forget the pain, and they will not have a long memory next time.

And Magnus is very busy now, very busy, anyway, it is not a day or two to eat white bread and boiled eggs, hold on for a while, and when this March is over and the spring ploughing is over, Magnus will come to take care of them again.

After thinking about it in his head, trying to divert his attention from the morning in front of him, Magnus ate the hase, made sure that he had enough energy, and then prepared to go.

According to the scheduled itinerary, he was supposed to monitor the serfs farming in a farm today.

The serfs are creatures with a sense of broken jars, and since they do not own life, they are not afraid of death; Even threatening with a sword doesn't work, and living anyway is just suffering, so why not go to heaven sooner?

Fortunately, Christianity does not allow suicide, otherwise it would be a matter of two questions whether there are serfs in this world.

God was able to make serfs behave by faith alone, and mortals had to discipline serfs with whips.

I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of pain.

This is a common problem that even the great heroes cannot avoid, let alone the lowly serfs, who will be honest as soon as the whip explodes in the air.

However, today was a little different, and when Magnus finished eating and was about to get on the horse, he was stopped by Odega.

Odegar was clearly prepared and aggressive, and it seemed that he would not give up until he received an answer from Magnus.

This engagement has dragged on for too long! Drag it out today tomorrow, tomorrow the day after tomorrow, Your Royal Highness the Prince, can you still drag my old bones to the ground?!

As long as you don't pester me every day, maybe it's really possible......

Magnus thought helplessly.

But at the same time, he knew it was impossible.

Even putting aside Odegar's sincere loyalty, and analysing the marriage from the point of view of profit alone, would have been absolutely profitable for Magnus: an old man with a strong army would have had the opportunity to take all of Wales into his ranks, and if it had been someone else, such as Harold, the first king, he would have happily agreed.

Moreover, even if Magnus was no longer willing to approach the medieval women, who generally looked dirty and vulgar, he could not never get married.

He must have an heir.

And it must be biological, with his blood flowing in his body.

Since the essence of the so-called aristocracy is family inheritance, Magnus, as the last member of the Godwin family, should fulfill this duty; Otherwise, when he dies, who will he leave to this Duchy of Brittany, or even England in the future?

Does anyone inherit?

No!

…… Such arguments are not convincing, so let's talk about it in another way - if Magnus insists on not getting married, then in the end, his vassals, his knights, or because of him become status, become rich because of him, those who are favored by Magnus will be forced to fill him with ****, tie his hands and feet, and then throw him on the bed of a selected noble girl!

Because Magnus was not only responsible for the Godwins, but also for his vassals.

Vassals - the vassals of Magnus, they are not the same as the old nobles who have been inherited for centuries and thousands of years, and have entrenched power in the local area; Their power and land all come from Magnus, and once the tree that shelters them from the wind and rain falls, to borrow an old saying from the East, how can there be eggs under the nest?

But man can't always decide when God will call his darling.

So Magnus needed an heir.

Rather than waiting to be tied up by his vassals, it is better to take the initiative first, at least, so that there is still a chance to choose.

That's what Magnus thought at the time.

So he gave Odegar an ambiguity—not a vague one, in fact, for Duke Llewellyn had no children but one daughter, and marrying his daughter, as long as he was not stupid, was almost the next duke of heaven; Countless second sons of aristocratic families who have no inheritance rights are waiting to queue up from Wales to England.

There are so many good young people that it would not be difficult to get them into the family, so why did Llewellyn marry his daughter to Magnus?

Is it because of a marriage contract with the former king?

Magnus didn't believe that the duke, known as the Grand Duke of Wales, could be a good man who kept his contract.

Send an envoy over, and the two sides will talk about it first, and wait until Duke Llewellyn tears up the marriage contract, Magnus writes a letter of condemnation, and Duke Llewellyn expresses counter-condemnation...... By the time that time has passed, it will be almost a year away.

Hopefully there will be some turnaround.

Of course, if Llewellyn really agrees and doesn't mention any conditions, then what are you waiting for, marry such a good man when you meet him.

Although Odegar was dissatisfied, he also knew that being able to force Magnus to agree to this bottom was already the biggest achievement, and it would only backfire if he forced him harder.

The stubborn donkey must be touched by the hair, and the hard horse cannot be forced to press the head.

So, Odegar also put away his serious face, smiled, and was thinking of striking while the iron was hot, so that His Royal Highness the prince would write a letter and send a messenger now......

Then he saw Magnus's face change suddenly.

Became incomparably blue.

It was a chatter between two grooms who were tending to the horses in the stable, and a rumor was coming out of their mouths, and Magnus was keenly aware that it was not a good thing for his rule, and that it was by no means unfounded.
