Chapter 711: Bold Assumptions
Terosus keenly saw the problem, "How do you get every nobleman to join you in this reform?" Wouldn't it be better for them to stay in their own territory? Moreover, who will lead the implementation of the division of administrative districts? How to fact? ”
"Since it is to be divided into administrative districts, how should the territories of the nobles be calculated? Do you want to join a divided administrative district? How do I collect taxes after joining? Who will collect it? How to avoid the nobility who served as administrative officials in the borough would not delay and embezzle these taxes? What if you don't join a district? How does it work? ”
"There are so many questions, more than enough to fill a fine piece of parchment!" Tairosus shook his head in denial, and Locke turned his head to look at it, and saw that Abidis had the same expression.
"Ha, since I can say it, this matter must have reached the end stage. My staff have already discussed it, and when the time comes, I'll announce it to everyone. Locke responded with a smile, and he couldn't say anything more specific about this matter at the moment. As the leader of the matter, he only started the beginning, and left the rest to his large group of subordinates.
If he does everything himself, then what else does he play.
There was a warm applause in the square below, and the young drama actor who played Locke at the moment had already played Locke's deeds to a paragraph, and was smiling respectfully at Locke at the moment.
Locke got up and clapped with a smile like everyone else, "Good! Very good! ”
Hearing Locke say this, Scarface Mario, who was standing in front of the table, walked down without a smile, handed everyone a money bag, and they bent down and thanked and left the square.
Taking advantage of the silence of the scene, Locke raised the wine glass in his hand.
The future king was about to toast, and no matter how confused the people were, they all stood up in a panic under the reminder of the people around them. For a moment, the sound of the table moving and the chair falling to the ground kept ringing.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Ladies! I'm glad you all came to my wedding with Princess Calia. Today is a day to celebrate. As Locke finished speaking, everyone below raised their glasses, and many of them slapped their palms on the table with a thumping sound.
Locke pressed down with his right hand, and the sound was gone.
"As the sole heir to House Harvey, I share a very similar situation with Princess Calia. Perhaps it was fate (tu) that brought us together and formed a new family! I propose! Cheers to our bumpy fate!! ”
"Cheers!!"
In a warm atmosphere, everyone picked it up and drank happily.
When Locke saw that everyone was drinking, he quietly turned back to stop Kalia's drinking, who looked at him strangely. Locke smiled mysteriously at him.
After everyone put down their glasses, Locke smiled and said to everyone, "Today is a happy day, especially for me and Princess Kalia. Our family members have all passed away, and we are all alone in this world, which makes us cherish each other even more. So, sorry for that! ”
Locke smiled and took Kalia's hand and said, "My wife and I are leaving this luncheon early, I hope it won't affect your good mood for food and wine!" ”
With that, Locke slowly walked out of the table holding his hand holding Kalia and walked to the side path.
"Lord Harvey, where are you going to go with Princess Kalia in a hurry?!"
"Hey, don't you know that? What about you and your wife..."
"Haha!"
"Oh well! Lord Harvey! I wish you and Princess Kalia a child of their own soon! ”
"What's enough?! Two! Three! No! Preferably a dozen! ”
"Haha!"
Everyone at the banquet was laughing, and Kalia looked at them with a smile on her face, beckoning to be pulled away from the place.
※※※
The departure of Kalia and Locke made the banquet completely crazy. Almost everyone left their seats, approaching the people they knew or didn't know, and took the opportunity to get closer to each other.
The subordinates who held up the sky for Locke were the target of everyone's siege. Except for Noris, who was chilling, almost everyone had people around them.
As Bishop of Light, Sally was surrounded by a group of well-dressed ladies who were rambling to get Sally's attention.
As a logistics officer and treasurer, Shiloh, the god of wealth of Eva, was firmly surrounded by a large group of merchants and nobles. The Holy Light Bishop of Eva looks like he's going to be out of this position soon. As Fairbanks said, she would be better suited to follow Locke into politics than to work in the Church of Light. It depends on what she thinks, maybe she will leave the Church of Light tomorrow.
Bridget, on the other hand, prefers to mingle with the Knights of the Silver Hand, and she mingles with newcomers who have just become members of the Paladins.
Young nobles like Baron Berg, who had followed Locke for a long time, were surrounded by more young noble ladies, and Berg talked and laughed with them. Even Quette, the speaker of the Noble Council who defected to Locke, had a group of old nobles asking questions, and this guy was full of pride.
And there is a character in this that no one cares about.... Locke's new staff member, Mormont. Because he just joined, maybe because he was a little older, there weren't too many people to woo and trick him. He was also happy to be idle, sitting at the wine table, grabbing the fried beans on a wooden plate, eating one by one, and watching his daughter being curryed favor with a group of young aristocratic boys.
He couldn't help but think of his first wife, but alas.....
"Our Sir Mormont will have a time when he has something on his mind?" Mormont turned his head to see Hudson sitting beside him. The actual controller of Locke's army, there was a group of people around him just now.
"What? Those who can't wait to lick your ** are gone? Mormont looked at his daughter with a smile, but the words he said were not very good.
Hudson didn't care about his rude speech, he knew the new Locke's staff and his past. There were few people his age in this event except Mormont. The rest of the one, they were more interested in Shiloh. He and Mormont were more able to talk together.
"That's your daughter?" Hudson followed his gaze and saw Ellie in the crowd, and he looked at it and said, "It's a lovely little girl." ”
"Thanks, I think so too." Mormont unceremoniously acknowledged Hudson's compliment. He looked at his daughter with a smile like a loving father, but in his heart he was thinking about how to get rid of the group of boys who were surrounding him. He knew that his daughter had no experience in dealing with these things, she was a child who grew up in a farmhouse...
While he was thinking, a young handsome young man interjected. He was obviously well acquainted with his daughter, and he quickly did what he was about to do. He just spoke a few words to the people around him, and they left.
The handsome young man was evidently a better eloquent, and she had laughed more than a dozen times in the time he had observed his daughter. Judging by his experience when he was younger, he had clearly stolen his daughter's heart!!
This bastard kid!!
Just as Mormont pondered how to get rid of the guy who had cheated on his daughter, Hudson suddenly spoke.
"That's my son, old fellow."
"Your son ?!!" Mormont instantly turned his head to look at Hudson, and the doubt in his eyes was unmistakable.
"Yes, my son." Hudson Sr. looked at Mormont with a smile, "But I have to be clear, I didn't do anything about it. ”
"It's entirely the result of their own choices..."
Mormont glanced at Hudson calmly, and then he turned to look at the young man who was chatting with his daughter, "Drum, are you sure you want your son to marry my daughter?" ”
"Why not?" Old Hudson also looked at the two of them and said, "Love is beautiful, so why stop them?" ”
"You know what happened to my daughter."
"I don't think Kerr cares about that, I trust him."
It seems that the eyes of the two of them let the pair of young people over there see it. Soon, the girl came over with the man with a red face.
"Father!"
Two fathers rang out at the same time, and Mormont smiled at his daughter, then looked at the young man beside him.
"Hello, Sir Mormont." The young man bowed to Mormont, then smiled confidently and said, "I'm Kerr Hudson." Deputy Commander of the 1st Cavalry Corps. ”
Mormont nodded, not saying much.
"Alright, Kerr, you and Miss Elle go somewhere else. I still have something to talk about with Mistress Mormont. ”
But when they had left, Hudson did not speak, and sat with Mormontgan here, eating the fried beans on his plate.
"Say, is Lord Harvey talking to Princess Kalia right now?" Mormont made a rather obscene gesture. Penetrate a round hole formed by holding your right hand with the middle finger of your left hand, and you will go in and out.
Looking at the row of tables and chairs where Locke and Kalia had sit, it was now empty and no one was sitting. Hudson knew that the relationship between General Abydis and Baron Tyrosus was not harmonious, and that they would not be sitting together without the presence of Locke and Princess Calia.
"If that's what you say, that's reassuring to me." Hudson grabbed a handful of beans and chewed them in his mouth, "Both the Harvey family and the Minerhill family need an heir as soon as possible." ”
"I'm sure that's what you think, right?" Hudson turned to look at Mormont.
Mormont laughed a few times and said, "It's useless for us to be in a hurry, we have to make Lord Harvey realize the seriousness of this problem." Otherwise, do you think that I and the others can understand that Lord Harvey has a few mistresses? ”
"I suspect there's something wrong with Lord Harvey's body."
