Chapter 20 Objectives
The principle of the Imperial Code of Marriage is monogamous, but there are also external conditions.
First, members of the direct royal family can have multiple wives, mainly because of the issue of royal blood inheritance.
Secondly, the nobility of the empire with a certain amount of power and place can also apply for the qualification of polygamy through various means in accordance with the provisions of the code. Some aristocrats even found it troublesome to apply for it, so they directly married several wives without obtaining legal qualifications. Although this kind of behavior is illegal, it will not suffer any serious punishment if it is handled well.
In general, the marriage system of the imperial code was relatively relaxed, and the main force that really defended monogamy was not the law, but tradition and reputation.
The marriage of multiple wives by a nobleman would be considered a displeasure and harm to women. Even if the emperor had too many concubines. It will also be criticized by people. There have even been extreme examples in history of an emperor who wandered around the harem all day long because of the good girl Sena marrying too many concubines, and was finally impeached for "extravagance".
The princess's husband, the emperor's son-in-law, could barely be defined as a direct member of the imperial family, and naturally had the right to polygamy, but it would be foolish for anyone to marry a man who had the honor of marrying the supreme ruler of the empire to marry a wife other than the princess. Arrogant and ignorant!
There have been too many concubines in history, but the emperor who stepped down has never married a princess and dared to marry other women's concubines.
"Did you really decide to do this?" Chongyang smiled weakly.
When he finally regained his composure, he had to face the proposals that the two beauties had said that could no longer be described as more than absurd.
Roseali and Helen didn't answer, but their eyes said it all.
"As the biggest beneficiary of the proposal, you have no reason to be dissatisfied. Rosyali's face was flushed, but her tone was very cold.
Being able to become a princess and a horse, being able to marry Helen as a wife, and at the same time getting power and a family, as a man, it is indeed very beneficial
"Will I be drowned by the spitting stars of the people and nobles of the imperial capital?" Chongyang had no way in his heart
He wanted to say something more, but now it was useless to say anything more. A Helen is still difficult to convince, and with the Princess, Her Royal Highness the Princess, it is in vain to struggle.
Chongyang was silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh.
"If you think it's best, do it. β
helpless to understand and accept pity", a calm sentence contains a lot of emotions in the face of the two beauties.
The atmosphere of the pavilion became subtle because of this sentence, although Helen and Rose Ali had already made a decision, but when Chongyang said yes. It's like a hammer hitting the heart, and the mind ripples uncontrollably.
"What am I nervous about? It's just a fake marriage, I'm just using him to take my husband's place and gain the freedom to be free from marriage for the rest of my life. Rose said in her heart. However, the conversation with Helen promised the deeper meaning of the proposal. Buried deep in her heart, it affects her true feelings.
"That's the best, I can't give it to him. I can't do it, Rose can do it. Helen clenched her hands and her eyes sparkled with a deep wave.
"Marrying the princess and the side concubine" sounds incredible. Although it is a passive acceptance, as a man, I must still have some joy in my heart. Chongyang couldn't understand his own feelings, but he had already recognized one thing, that is, he must not be semi-negative, and the first two women should not be semi-negative.
The three of them agreed in their own minds, but could not go on with the details, and fell into a silent silence until an outsider broke into the strange atmosphere.
"Chongyang, I just wanted to go to you. But I heard the report that you were at the palace. With a smile on his face, Lawrence walked to the pavilion and noticed the strange atmosphere between the three of them, and his steps couldn't help but froze.
"I'm sorry, did I disturb you?" the Second Prince of the Empire asked tentatively.
Chongyang turned his head to look at Zhou Lawrence.
"No, you" came just in time for His Highness to find me, what's the matter?"
"It's about the previous 'suggestion,' Lawrence said, glancing at Roserie and Helen, "if you don't mind, I'd like to talk to Chongyang alone." β
Without saying a word, Roseali got up, pulled Helen and walked away, leaving straight for the sidelines.
"What did you give birth to?" asked Lawrence curiously as he watched his sister's silhouette disappear.
"This" you'll know. "Chongyang really didn't have the courage to say to Lawrence like this, I am going to marry your sister and another woman.
His eyes were actually dodging for the first time Lawrence couldn't help but feel surprised and puzzled when he saw Chongyang, who was always very honest, but he didn't ask any further. After all, it is better for the parties to deal with the issues of men and women themselves.
The two of them met in the pavilion and slandered the most paid children's day to the puncular muscles
"Fahis. Rennes. As soon as Lawrence opened his mouth, he bluntly said a name, "The Supreme Marshal of the Imperial Magical Army is the best person to grant your wishes." β
Chongyang raised his eyebrows.
"On the one hand, there is no one in this country who has more power than him. On the other hand, according to the situation up to this point, it is inferred that the successor who will serve as the marshal of the Emperor ** team after him is likely to be born in our generation."
Lawrence tried to explain the overall power of the Wren royal family to Chongyang in the most concise and soothing words possible. and a series of powerful relationships that will be involved in his goal of achieving it.
Marshal Fahis's life is legendary, and until now he still directly controls the most powerful ace army of the Wren Empire, and can indirectly influence most of the local armies of the empire, and has the highest supreme authority in the military.
However, no matter how legendary it is, if it can't be promoted to a god beyond the mortal world, then it will eventually have to face the ruthless wear and tear of the years. The marshal's current physical condition is the highest secret of the entire imperial family, but the news that the marshal is deliberately seeking an heir has been circulating since many years ago.
Driven by the ambitions of their elders or individuals, many children of the royal family have joined the armies in various places to show their achievements and achievements. to enter the field of vision of the marshal. Marshal Fascis acquiesced in this behavior and rewarded those who performed well with unusual richness.
"I was one of those ambitious kids who did a good job. Lawrence said calmly.
"I am not particularly outstanding in terms of personal strength, but I am quite confident in my ability to command the army in battle, and I was once complacent because of a certain nickname given by others
βγ
"Like me, there were four people who had been admired by the marshal in person because of his outstanding performance, and three of them you had already met. β
"Uldley Heavenly Sect of Clarenstadt of the Lun Clan" is the marshal's own grandson, Fana, and there is another named Inade. Bipps is the grandson of the current head of the Royal Knights, a talented member of the Ujong Imperial Family. β
"IΓ±ade," Chongyang frowned. "I just met him. β
"Huh?" Lawrence was stunned, "Wanggang?"
Chongyang immediately told His Royal Highness the prince about Fang Caisheng.
Lawrence stared at the black young man's face with a stunned expression, and it took a while to come back to his senses, his eyes flashing with complex colors, and the corners of his mouth slowly flashed with a trace of bitterness.
"That magic" is the spell that defeated me completely. β
"He is also an outstanding talent of the Yuzong royal family. The two of us served in the Royal Order. Recently, they have been walking with each other, and the competition between them is also fierce. β
"Later, something happened," I was decadent for a long time after a complete defeat in the duel with him, and the name of the so-called "Emperor of Tactics" that I was once proud of gradually became "the incompetent prince"
"Your Highness" Chongyang frowned. Looking at Lawrence's lost and gloomy face, his heart fluctuated.
He had learned the truth that the other party did not understand, but he was not sure if he would immediately reveal the truth about that vicious magic.
"Regardless of whether Lawrence believes it or not. I don't know how to explain why I'm able to recognize dark magic. Chongyang hesitated.
"I've said there are no outsiders. There is no need to be called "Your Highness" anymore, Lawrence was silent for a while, and suddenly raised his head again, his eyes flashing with a burning essence. "Chongyang, you blocked Ihuangyard's magic that defeated me back then, proving that you are stronger than me, and you will definitely be able to do what I can't do. β
"It's a bit reckless for you to take on the Ignader, though, but you can't be blamed for it, after all, you don't know anything about him. Later. Remember to be sure to be careful about this man.
Of course be careful, although I don't know much about him, but I know what you don't know. Chongyang thought silently.
"At this point, you should also understand that the competition for the marshal's successor continues. All you have to do is join the military, make achievements, and show your worth. Lawrence continued: "As long as you attract the attention of Marshal Fascis enough, your wish will surely be granted." β
"You are strong in your own right, but you lack military accumulation in all aspects, so you need someone to help. I will build the necessary team for you, and even I will be committed to you. Do everything we can to help you get promoted. β
"And my personal purpose is to see you defeat all those I didn't defeat back then, and trample them under your feet!"
