Chapter 768: First Arrival in Miyin City: Talking about Marriage
Miyin City, a city located in the rocky highlands northwest of Demacia, is the most prosperous city in Demacia outside of the Xiongdu.
The building is built against a rocky hill flanked by a dam made of rock, all of which is made of white rock, making the city look as dazzling as a mountain of silver.
Of course, the reason for the city's name is a high-quality silver mine not far from the city, in which Lux's father holds a stake in a part. In addition, the city of Miyin is also known as the city of dragons and birds.
In addition to the Crownguard family, the large families who did not choose to settle in the royal capital were also stationed here, such as the Durang family, these craftsmen had lived here long before the Crownguard family had their origins.
"Could the explorer you are looking for be in the Secret Silver City?"
Oglovisa Bouvier rode her horse down the embankment towards the city, her muddy hooves leaving mud spots on the white granite, and she didn't realize it, but she was comfortable talking to Jeno who was walking on one side.
"It may or may not be there. It mainly depends on whether Miss Crownback is here, he is here to court, and he will go wherever Miss Crownguard goes. ”
Jeno replied casually that he was already familiar with Ezreal's.
"Courtship? It's so romantic......" Ogwesa rarely showed a longing expression, but she quickly retracted her face, frowned and reminded Jeno:
"Generally speaking, the marriage of the nobles of Demacia is not free to choose their own partners, the elders will find a marriage partner for their children, and the children can only be ordered to marry if they don't like it. To put it mildly, school-age children are political pawns in the eyes of their elders, serving as tools for forming alliances in the political marriage between ruling families. ”
"The right door, very particular, very real......"
Marriage in feudal society is like this in any world, Jeno sighed lightly, he knew what the biggest difficulty Ezreal had to face.
The difficulty is not to overcome all odds to meet you, but to break through the solid barrier of class rule and come together.
As for getting Lux to accept Ezreal, whom she didn't know, Jeno didn't think it would be difficult. As a time-traveler who is familiar with Lux's personality and temperament, he has a wealth of advanced knowledge and theories to teach Ezreal targeted strategies for Lux, as long as the little yellow hair does not play out of stage fright.
As for himself, he was considered a noble child, but Jeno felt that Camille would not dare to arrange a marriage for him, and imposed his will on him. Without him, he dared to escape even Azir's marriage, and he was so confident.
"Being a nobleman is like that, abundant resources and favorable conditions are not imposed on you in vain, you must pay for it. When a gold-leafed engagement invitation is thrown in front of you, you need to be mentally prepared to overdraft the happiness of the rest of your life and fight for the honor of your family. Fortunately, I was sent out of Xiongdu since I was a child and became a marginal person in the family, so I had the right to choose freely, otherwise if I was remembered by other families, invitations would have been piled up on the desk a few years ago. ”
Even though she is far away from family strife, Ogvesa is still invited back to her siblings' weddings from time to time.
Whenever she saw the reluctant smile on the bride's face, she lamented how unsatisfactory the political marriage was. After participating in so many weddings, there are very few cases where both parties are in love, and most of them are just satisfied with the in-laws, not the parties concerned.
Fortunately, her family is prosperous, and she attended the wedding as a guard, not as a noble child, otherwise it would be bad to be exposed to the public eye and let people remember her.
"......" Jeno was slightly speechless, Ogwisa was good-looking, blonde and blue-eyed, with a typical western face, a wildflower in the dragon's nest.
And she herself thinks so, but this kind of narcissistic words are a bit of something like that, and for a moment he remembered the sheriff who said that the person chasing her could stand all over the canyon bridge.
In addition, he always felt that Ogvesa seemed to be hinting at something......
"But it's not like there's no choice. I heard that Fiona, the youngest daughter of the Laurent family, rejected the marriage proposal of the crown guard family a few years ago, and is still alive and well, and has become the patriarch. ”
Seeing Jano sighing, in order to encourage him, Oglowisa gave an example in reverse, mentioning a sensational incident a few years ago - Fiona's refusal to marry.
In the face of Demacia's harsh laws, Fiona was able to stand up against marriage and take charge of her marriage, which is truly a model for the children of the nobility of today.
Even now, she remains unmarried, setting impossible conditions for each suitor to propose marriage, so as to remain proud and unmarried. Oglvesa added.
Jeno shook his head: "She did it on purpose, because she didn't want to give up the family - because according to tradition, wives would hand over power to their husbands." And as the patriarch, once she marries, she will give up the power of the entire Laurent family, if her father knows, he will definitely jump out of it just now and stab her to death, an unfilial daughter. ”
"Shut up! Don't offend people! ”
Ogilvesa hurriedly glanced around, and then relieved himself - fortunately no one had heard Jeno say such disrespectful words, otherwise it would have reached Fiona's ears, and with her pursuit of perfection and undesecrated character, she would definitely have launched a life-and-death duel with Jeno.
"You say she's in love with power? Instead of not meeting someone you like yet? This time, she quietly lowered her head and asked.
"That's because you've been living in a remote mountainous area and you've heard incomplete. In fact, things are not as simple as you think, the first thing to propose is just a side line of the crown guard family, and the power is not as great as the lineage. ”
Geno first corrected Ogwisha's statement, the Crownguard family is only one man of appropriate age, and if Fiona had rejected Galen's marriage proposal, the Laurent family would have no room for maneuver.
How noble is the crown guard in Demacia?
Galen's great-grandfather, Foss Ian, once defeated the demon, the fiefdom of Fosbayro. His grandfather saved the king's life in the Battle of Stormfang, while his aunt Tiana was appointed commander of the intrepid vanguard, an elite unit, before Lax was born. Now that Tiana has been promoted to Generalissimo, the commander of the Dreadnought Vanguard is Galen. In addition, Tiana's husband is also the commander of the Demon Seeker Legion.
This shows how powerful the Crownguard family is in Demacia. If Fiona rejects Galen's marriage proposal, then the Crownback family can bring down the Laurent family in a matter of minutes.
