Chapter 102: The Queen's Request
Queen Sofia glanced at Catherine, and felt a little unbearable, but she still said according to the plan:
"I know that a strong man like you may not be the only woman Catherine!"
As soon as Donald was about to speak, the queen rushed to say:
"Don't be in a hurry to deny it, this is a world where the strong are respected, not to mention that you are already a bronze powerhouse, and you still have the potential to become a silver powerhouse, even if you are just a mage apprentice, as long as you have a hereditary title and territory, become your woman, even if you share it with others, many women are willing. I think Catherine must have thought the same way, so no matter how it ends, this fact cannot be denied!"
"Besides, you are the only one left in your Melina family, and if you want to have a solid foundation in the kingdom and grow the Merlinna family, then you must learn from those big noble families, leave some more descendants, and spread out their branches, so that the inheritance will not be cut off because there is no successor. ”
For the queen's words, Donald was thoughtful, this world is not like the previous life, and there is no family planning. Celt was already sparsely populated, and both the royal family and local noblelords encouraged commoners to have more children. Thinking of the happy scene where he could have so many children around him, Donald felt that he must have more children in the future. Of course, it is not surprising that Catherine is the mother of the child.
Then the queen said,
"I heard that you have a good relationship with the Ansel family, and you should know that a family like Ansel, which has existed for thousands of years, can continue to be inherited, in addition to strong strength, excellent heirs are also indispensable. The world of the nobility is like those wild beasts in the forest and the prairie, there are battles between various races, within races, survival of the fittest, only the strongest and intelligent can become leaders and lead the tribe to survive!"
Speaking of which, Donald interjected confidently:
"Your Majesty, I have enough confidence and strength to ensure the inheritance of the family and the stability of the territory, please rest assured!"
But the queen asked:
"I don't underestimate your strength, but you are still so young, and the life span of a mage is longer than that of ordinary people, can you guarantee that you will not fall in love with another woman for the rest of your life?"
This sentence stopped Donald. Who knows what the future holds?
He has the elven physique brought about by the heroic profession, and there is no problem in living for hundreds of years, even if he has the means to maintain the youth and prolong the life of his woman, can he love Catherine alone?
So Donald thought for a moment, and found that this was a question that could not be answered with certainty, so he said firmly:
"I can't know what will happen in the future, but as long as Catherine is still attached to me, then my feelings for Catherine will not change!
Hearing such sincere words, Catherine's face returned to normal because of the queen's question. Thinking of the future described by Donald, his face was filled with joy and a sweet glow.
The queen no longer pressed too much, nodded and said:
"I'm not going to ask about you and Catherine, but you have to promise me something!"
"Your Majesty, please speak!"
"Your territory is vast, and in the future, even two counties will be enough to accommodate it, and you will always open up new territories. Although according to the laws of the kingdom, both nobles and commoners can only marry one wife, there is an exception in the nobility decree, if a nobleman has more than one territory in or outside the kingdom, then he can marry one wife in the name of each lord. So I hope that even if you fall in love with someone else's woman in the future, Catherine will at least be one of your lord's wives, and I will help you as much as I can before His Majesty leaves!"
"If Her Majesty doesn't say this, I will do it!"
After saying that, Donald looked at his woman and saw that she was also looking at him with affectionate eyes, so he couldn't help but take Catherine into his arms.
Not to mention that there is no other woman now, even if he falls in love with someone else, as long as Catherine does not change his heart, he will not abandon his beloved Catherine, after all, she is the first woman he really falls in love with, no matter in his previous life or this life.
Although Donald also had several relationships in his previous life, in that materialistic society, he didn't go deep for various reasons, so strictly speaking, Catherine was the first woman to enter his heart.
Seeing the deep relationship between the two, Her Majesty Queen Sofia was also a lot more relieved, this young lord was a loving and righteous person, at least Catherine would not be abandoned after playing with them like the mistresses of those noble sons.
Sofia snorted softly at the thought of this.
Catherine, who was aware of her overly intimate relationship with Donald in front of the queen, blushed and was embarrassed to leave Donald's embrace.
"One more thing, the Zeta family is not prosperous in Catherine's generation, and she is the only daughter except for Catherine's cousin Augusta. Her parents were gone a few years ago, and now that there is a letter from the mainland, her uncle has also died, and the situation in the Sirens is in chaos again, so my father plans to send Augusta to Celt to take care of me, and to save a descendant for the Zeta family, so that the turmoil will not lead to the death of the innocent!"
Donald had long heard that the situation in the Duchy of Sirens was unstable in the past few years, because the Grand Duke of the Sirens had no children under his knees, only one daughter, and if the Grand Duke was old in the future, then if the Grand Duke was not interested in becoming a Grand Duke, she would have to recruit a son-in-law to inherit the throne and continue the bloodline of the Cardoki family.
Therefore, not only the various forces in the Siren Principality are ready to move, but even some young foreign heroes are also eager to try.
That's a principality! If the Grand Duchess takes a fancy to it, then you will immediately gain the enormous power to rule a principality.
In particular, the Cardoki family has a noble bloodline, originally one of the oldest nobles in the Gardred Kingdom, inherited from the ancient family of the Bannai Empire, and can also establish a principality after the separation of Gardre.
Taking the Grand Duke can not only become the new Grand Duke, but also obtain the powerful knightly inheritance of the Cardoch family, not only get the position of power, but also gain strong strength, and have a beauty to accompany you, which is really a good thing in the world!
It's just that Donald didn't expect the situation over there to be so serious, even His Royal Highness the Sirens were not optimistic about the situation in his country, and he wanted to transfer the descendants of his cronies to his sister who was in a foreign country. However, no matter how messy the sirens were, they couldn't affect Celt in the far north, so Donald didn't pay much attention.
After listening to the queen's words, it was only then that I remembered that their Queen Majesty of Selt was not the sister of the Siren Grand Duke and the heir of another Siren Duchy?
However, because Her Majesty the Queen has married into Celt and becomes a country, it is unlikely that she will go back to inherit the principality, but according to the family lineage, her son Prince Durui also has the fourth right to inherit the throne, and the blood from his father is also noble, and he is fully qualified to compete for the position of Grand Duke of the Duchy of the Sirens.
I just don't know what Her Majesty the Queen is going to do.
"Although my position is noble, I don't have much foundation in Selt, and I'm too far away to get involved. However, the situation of Celt is also relatively tense now, and it is all supported by His Majesty alone, once His Majesty falls, I will inevitably be implicated as the queen, so I plan to entrust their brothers and sisters to you. ”
Donald was a little surprised, why was this queen so unoptimistic about her situation? At least with the support of Ansel and the military, Dorey should have a better chance of winning. At that time, as the queen mother, it will not be easy to protect one or two of his subordinates? But Donald, who doesn't know much about the details of this, didn't ask, and he was still very unappetizing for these things to compete for the throne, and basically didn't want to get involved.
Then the queen said,
"Augusta is a man of his own right, and he is shrewd, your territory is the time to employ people, Catherine's family has been loyal to my Cardocchi family for three generations, and now I can order Augusta to become your retainer and handle business affairs for you!
When the queen said this, Donald was also a little tempted, if this was the case, and his own territory happened to be short of manpower, it was better to use someone else's cousin than Catherine's cousin, as long as the other party did not have too much ambition.
"You don't have to agree to this now, Augusta's ship is estimated to be half a month before it arrives ashore, and it will take a few days to come to the royal capital from Leighton Harbor, and you will have enough time to inspect his character and talent at that time!"
"You're thoughtful, Donald just do what you say!"
Seeing that Donald had no disgust, Queen Sofia also breathed a sigh of relief. Although she is the queen, there is not much she can do, especially during this tense period when the two princes are competing for the throne.
After finishing business, the queen glanced at Catherine, and then teased:
"It's not early, I think you two should have a lot to say tonight, I'm in the way here!"
"Your Majesty!"
Catherine was immediately ashamed.
Donald cheekily said: "In this case, then we will take our leave, I have booked a room at the inn, and Catherine will not be able to accompany Your Majesty tonight!"
So saying, he said goodbye to the queen, and took the shy Catherine out of the palace.
Watching them walk out hand in hand, Queen Sofia's eyes contained complex emotions of relief, envy, and loss, and she sighed in her heart: "Catherine, there is only so much I can do for you, and your future depends on your own grasp!"
Then he sighed and turned away.
After the night, when the day was bright and he had spent some time with Catherine, Donald had to leave Kosovo and be temporarily separated from his woman.
Fortunately, Catherine is not the kind of stupid woman who does not care about the overall situation, and the queen has already arranged for her to be free in a few days, leaving the palace and going to the territory of Dalaran, so there is no hurry at this time.
When he returned to the Lord's Mansion in Twilight, William learned that Uther had left the town with a group for the Ogre's Lair.
So Donald instructed William to do a few things, and he also teleported out of the valley.
