Chapter 905 - Power Shuffle
The news that Mordrak was going to marry Ji Ran soon spread in Karthas.
At the beginning, it was actually the people who spread the rumors, and those rumors were all speculated by ordinary people who were idle and had nothing to do.
Among the common people, in order to appear as if they know a little more than others, many people often spread some false things, and once they say it correctly, they will make others feel that they are very powerful, so as to satisfy their own little vanity.
Even if it's a mistake, others won't think anything about you, after all, how can a little person know so many things about high society?
However, sometimes the rumors are not false, and this time the rumor that Mordrake is going to marry Ji Ran is well-founded and well-founded.
Not only rumors, but even storytellers on the street have compiled this matter into their own paragraphs.
The common people like to gossip about the private life of the nobles, such as the nobleman who went out to find a young lady again, the noblewoman who has a new lover, which duke has an illegitimate child, etc., although these gossips do not bring any practical benefits to the rumor-mongers, but they still enjoy the spread of falsehood for a little vanity.
Now the people's favorite gossip is the marriage between Mordrake and Ji Ran.
One is the youngest and most eloquent prince in Lacaxia's history, the future heir to the throne of Lacaxia, while the other is an elven girl who looks like a fairy, and both of them can dig out infinite gossip elements, so commoners like to match two gossip characters together, so it may be easier to produce more interesting news.
The various gossip of the people about Mordrake and Ji Ran also quickly attracted the attention of the aristocracy.
Especially as far away as Pandraken in Lacazia, and some of the old nobles.
In the eyes of these old aristocrats of Lacaxia, Mordrac should never marry an elven woman, even if she did not marry Miss Crea of the Brooke family.
Modrac is a member of the Lacazia aristocracy, and should find his partner in the Lacazia nobility, so that it is not only in the interests of the old aristocracy, but also in Mordrec's own interests.
You must know that in the class of Mordrake, marriage is just the product of a union of interests, and there can be no real love.
If you marry an elf woman without any foundation for the sake of love, you will have endless troubles in the future.
Even if Mordrac was able to suppress the protests of the aristocracy with his own majesty, what about once Mordrake died?
Ji Ran has neither background nor background, when the time comes, how will they face those aristocratic groups when they are orphaned and widowed?
If a careerist appears at that time, I am afraid that Ji Ran and their children will not be able to guarantee their lives.
Pendreken was a sophisticated politician and an experienced king.
When he heard about this, he felt skeptical, and felt that his son could not even understand such a simple truth, how could he marry an elf girl?
Most of these rumors are just stories made up by boring ordinary people for their own amusement.
However, when he learned that such rumors had not been officially stopped, he realized the seriousness of the matter.
If it weren't for Mordrec's acquiescence, this rumor that might have caused chaos to the aristocracy would have been stopped immediately, but instead of being stopped, this rumor became more and more intense, and it reached Lacasia.
Pendereken felt that his son was deliberately playing with fire, and he was puzzled and worried.
Although Mordrac has built a large area of the country and has accumulated enough prestige to inherit the throne justifiably, this does not mean that he can act recklessly.
The aristocratic group of La Cassia has always been strong, and even Mordrac must be careful if he wants to manage it well.
Now Modric's choice is like walking on a steep cliff, and the slightest carelessness will cause terrible consequences.
Pendraken immediately wrote a letter to Mordrac, clarifying his position and putting all the stakes in the letter.
When Mordrak received the letter, there was no response, and after reading the letter, he threw it all into the basin, and burned the letter from his father to a mass of black ashes.
These days, Modrek has been living in Ji Ran's room, the two of them are together every day, at night, Modrek has to hold Ji Ran to fall asleep, sometimes in the morning when it is dawn, the two of them are still reluctant to get up.
Modrek is in the prime of life, full of energy, like a tireless oxen, working hard to cultivate Ji Ran's delicate rice field.
There is a lot of water, and the coming year is sure to be a good harvest.
Ji Ran also experienced the initial pain, and gradually adapted to this life, and the relationship between the two people heated up rapidly, establishing an unprecedented sense of intimacy.
Now Mordrak can't listen to anyone's persuasion, he has completely immersed himself in Ji Ran's gentle township, even if someone asks him to give up the country now, he will not hesitate to agree.
The nobles of Lacacia were so anxious that they could not see this happen, because it was in the interests of each family.
These old nobles relied on intermarriage to consolidate their family's position earlier, that is to say, these aristocratic groups are actually related by blood.
Mordrake could choose a girl from any of the old Lacatian nobility to be his wife, no matter who it was, but he could not marry a girl from outside the Lacatian aristocracy, not even a woman from the Calthacean aristocracy.
The endurance of the aristocratic group is limited, and if it is not handled well, it may even lead to war.
In history, there have been many wars caused by marriage, and Lacasia has just become prosperous, and if war breaks out at this time, everyone does not want to see it.
While the old aristocrats of Lacacia were worried, the local aristocrats of Karthas were happy to see the excitement.
Anyway, Modrec will not choose the daughters of the nouveau riche as wives, so they have no extravagant expectations, and in this matter, they prefer that Modrake can marry the elven girl, so as to balance the power disparity between the old aristocratic group of Lacacia and the new upstarts of Calthas.
Since the Lacazia army occupied the Federation of Liguriasnadir, the local nobles have been reduced to second-class nobles, and it is difficult for them to hold their heads up in front of the old nobles of Lacacia without a power shuffle, and this time Mordrake's marriage has become their best breakthrough.
And some people believe that many of the rumors in the market may be political boos made by these Karthhas upstarts.
