Chapter 2 Propose when you meet!
Ah, this.
What is it like to be proposed to a marriage when you first come to another world?
Aske was stunned when he heard this, only to hear Eleanor continue:
"I'm your knight, and I've sworn to protect you for the rest of my life, but your level should only be Lv.20, right? Now that the upper limit of the magic tide has reached Lv.40, there will be many high-level enemies outside...... I don't have any worries about your safety. If you can marry me, I will be able to better use my power and strength to protect you. ”
"And, Asker, tell me: do you like me?" Knight Ji grabbed Asker's hand and pressed it on his chest, his expression sincere and persistent, "If you don't like me in the slightest, then if you just proposed, let's treat it as if I didn't say it." ”
Asker: ........................
"Ahem." A subtle touch came to his heart, and he could only say truthfully, "I can't say 'I don't like it at all', but as soon as we meet again, wouldn't it be too fast to skip the dating session to talk about marriage......"
"Okay!" Eleanor directly ignored the second half of his sentence and smiled brightly, "Then our wedding will be arranged next week, in the Grand Palace of Aachen!" ”
Asker: ???
Then he finally reacted: from the first time they met to the present, Eleanor first showed surprise to dispel the strangeness that she hadn't seen for many years, and then took his hand out for a walk, and then "casually" talked about being forced to marry, and finally took the initiative to propose......
This series of actions was so natural that he didn't realize until now that the current knight Ji was not the one who was still a little young before he left.
It's a mature strong woman who has been a high-ranking person for many years, and she doesn't lack either skills or experience, and can even take the initiative skillfully.
Asker, who was thinking like this, was suddenly pulled on the wrist by Eleanor.
was pulled into her arms.
As if he felt that this was too bold, His Highness the First Sword Bearer of the Empire spun lightly, and in turn burrowed into Asker's arms, and then choked his mouth with warm and soft lips.
Her blue eyes were full of love, which made Aske a little dizzy, and when he was kissed breathlessly, Eleanor deftly separated from him, then put her face against his chest, hugged his waist and whispered:
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I don't want to wait any longer."
"Marry me."
………………
In short, men can't say no.
Especially when a blonde with blue eyes, thin waist, thin legs, and high position and power is loyal to you, and you are infatuated with it, if you don't marry, if you don't say it, you can't do it...... That can probably only be explained by not liking women.
When the two returned to the castle, Asker could only go to say goodbye to Mao Zhongwei and the others, because Eleanor, who had been separated for a long time, couldn't wait any longer - she planned to pick up Asker first, and as for these people, they would arrange other routes to send to Aachen.
"Done?" While Eleanor was talking to the Viscount Graff, the other three hurriedly came over and asked in a low voice.
Comrade Mao Zhongwei's face was inquiring and uncertain, Academician Shao Qiangang was very relieved that he was "terrible in the future", and Comrade Yu Ziwen from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had a faint sadness on his face, "There is really no place for me."
"To be exact, I was done." Aske said helplessly, "I'm sorry, the harem that I said before, I guess it won't be opened." ”
Mao Zhongwei and the others widened their eyes: ???
Wait, we're letting you get her, not letting you be by her!
You've been taken care of by her here, so what about the other girls?! Especially the Italian lady Nola......
"Next week's wedding, at the Grand Palais Aachen." Aske said wistfully, "Anyway, I somehow agreed, probably because I also liked her in my heart......"
"What about the other girls!" Mao Zhongwei was almost crying. I've been in the industry for more than 20 years, and I've never encountered this kind of political task of helping people open a harem, and this person is still a pretty fucking traditional man.
"Well, I'll tell you." So Yu Ziwen pulled him over and said seductively, "Although I am already married, I also understand that you young people who are not married sometimes have irrepressible impulses. However, sometimes life doesn't have to rush to make decisions, you can just look at the other girls first, right? ”
"But I'm already sincere with Eleanor." Asker said.
"A piece of sincerity doesn't prevent you from dating other girls." Yu Ziwen continued to persuade, "Regarding the matter between men and women, Mr. Gu Hongming once had a wonderful analogy: men are like teapots, women are just like teacups, how can there be a teapot with only one teacup?" ”
"Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you only have one teacup, shouldn't you choose the best one that suits you best? Marriage is a big event in a lifetime, so you must choose carefully! ”
"What you said makes sense, Comrade Yu Ziwen." Aske nodded and said, "But I have already promised her, and I must not regret it at this time, so I don't need to mention it again." ”
Asker put on a categorical attitude, and the three of them looked at each other, and they didn't have a problem with him, and they smiled bitterly in their hearts.
After all, this guy is not in the system, and he can't be pulled off the horse on the charge of "messing with the relationship between men and women...... No, it should be "don't mess with the relationship between men and women...... Wait, does the system encourage young cadres to "mess with the relationship between men and women"?
The three of them who thought like this were a little insane, after all, they were all serious cadres who had grown up in the new era, and their style must be reliable. It can only be said that current affairs are so paradoxical, and it is clear that this kind of thing should be a complete stain, but several of them are painstakingly persuading each other to defile themselves......
But thinking about the needs of the organization behind them, the expectations of everyone, the mission of the times, and the heavy weight on their shoulders, everyone is ruthless again.
Individual interests should be compromised for collective interests! In order to blend in with the ranks of the reactionary enemy and successfully gain the trust of the enemy, the ancestors and martyrs who accepted the important mission and served as underground workers in those days defiled themselves with a bottomless character: playing the role of a dog, bullying innocent people, and torturing revolutionary comrades...... What can't be done? Their hearts bleed when they did it!
Compared to them who endure humiliation and burden, what's wrong with the organization just letting you open a harem? Do you want to bleed?
Of course, Asker is not in the system after all, and although the three of them have already realized it in their hearts, they can't force him to accept such an idea.
Therefore, everyone can only pretend to accept the reality helplessly, and begin to bless the marriage of Aske and Eleanor, and secretly silently reach an agreement:
In any case, this conservative-minded young comrade must not be bound to the Holy Solomon Empire by His Highness!
Of course, not letting him be bound here does not mean that it is necessary to prevent his marriage to Eleanor, or to destroy their relationship, after all, befriending the HRE Empire is also good for the other side of the earth.
It's just a matter of proportion. For example, the White Elephant Kingdom in the last century, hovering between the two giant camps of the East and the West at the same time, left and right, like a fish in water, relying on the so-called "balance".
It's not that you can't get close to this side, but once you get too close to this side, you will immediately develop and develop the relationship with the other side to achieve the effect of multiple lines of favor going hand in hand, which is the so-called way of balance.
Since this young comrade doesn't understand, then we can only help him!
