Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Earl of the Red River Valley

None of you present have heard of the tragic fate of the Gallaher family, Gallaher's ancestor, the first Earl of Gallaher, Raine Gallaher, was originally a knight under McCarvey's ancestor, McCarvey Bonn, and followed McCarvey Bonn to the south to open up this savage and dangerous territory, and fought against the natives of the south. Gallaher was the Earl of the Red River Valley, the largest fief among the Earls of the South.

This ancient family with a long and prestigious heritage was eventually destroyed by Leopold's tyranny and greed, and it is rumored that in order to prevent the Gallaher family's revenge, Leopold killed everyone who had Gallaher's blood, even the baby in the swaddling clothes. But now a little boy named Sean Marlowe suddenly ran out, and he claimed to have the blood of Gallaher, a family that had been destroyed and disappeared into the dust of history, and his mother was the youngest daughter of Count Gallaher, the only survivor. Despite the endorsement of Duke McCarvey, the nobles present inevitably had a trace of suspicion in their hearts.

"I'm here to prove to him that this boy named Shaun Marlowe does have the blood of the Gallaher family in his veins, and his mother's name is Anne Gallaher, the youngest daughter of the Earl of Gallaher, and the only survivor of the Gallaher family. "When the entire Gallaher family was being persecuted for no reason, Anne Gallaher escaped from the Riffs and slipped into our church and begged for the protection of the church. Benedictatas paused, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued:

A month ago, his parents' carriage went mad because of the horses and they fell off a cliff, killing them. The poor boy was orphaned and left alone, but my colleague in the Imperial Capital, the Rev. Harrison, found out about his origins and sent him to me. Benedictas said compassionately.

When Benedictas finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the hall. With the vouch of Duke McCarvey and Archbishop Benedictas in the White Crown, who can question the child's origins?

"The Anne Gallaher who died in prison?" said Julian.

"It was her mother's maid who had died trying to cover her escape. ”

"Your Excellency Archbishop Benedictas, Honorable White-crowned Archbishop, can you testify to what you said today?" asked Julian aggressively.

"God the Father testifies that there is no falsehood in what I say today. Is there anything else you would like to ask, Lord Julian?" Benedictas's words were so calm and unpretentious.

"No more. Julian looked down with a sigh.

Now the lineage of Shawn Marlowe's Gallaher is recognized by everyone and has become an indisputable fact.

"Your mother's family has suffered a heinous catastrophe, a dark past, a time of sorrow, and I feel deep sympathy and guilt for the misfortune that befell the Gallaher family, caused by the atrocities of my grandfather, Leopold McCarvey. Duke McCarvey looked apologetic, "The destruction of the loyal and brave Gallaher family is heart-wrenching and a great loss to the South, and I, as Duke McCarvey, am responsible for my grandfather's crimes, and now I am willing to take this responsibility and make amends for you, your mother's family, so you, Shaun Marlowe, are you willing to revive your mother's family?"

"I do. "Sean Marlowe's face is childlike innocence.

"That's good. You will inherit the family name of your mother's family, and from now on you will have a new surname------ Sean Marlowe Gallaher, and I canonize you as the Earl of the Red River Valley. ”

Duke McCarvey said as soon as he spoke, and since he had alarmed the entire court, everyone looked sideways and showed surprise. What a blessing this is.

Everyone wanted to object, but as soon as the words passed through their throats, they swallowed them hard again, and disappeared without a trace in their abdomen. After Leoper's death, when Victor inherited the title of duke, in order to appease the anger of the nobles, he took out part of the territory of the four earl families that had died out and divided it among the nobles as compensation. For the aristocracy, this is simply a tiger's mouth and kills them.

But the fate of the Earl of Gallaher's family is too tragic, the current head of the family was not only cuckolded by Leopold, not to mention, but also killed the whole family, it is not too much to make some compensation, if the world knows, it will definitely praise the McCarvey family for their love and righteousness, although some mistakes have been made in the past, but this attitude of loving the courtier like a son will definitely win a reputation for Duke McCarvey, don't forget, the white-crowned Archbishop Benedictas is here! In the name of righteousness, stepping on the moral high ground, don't you offend the people of the world by standing up against it now? At this time, no shrewd nobleman would do such a stupid thing, and it is obvious that none of the nobles present are stupid.

And if Sean Marlowe Gallaher really has the blood of the Gallaher family, then he is their junior, and he is still a child, and you feel ashamed to grab something with a child and say it.

The most important thing is that the nobles who were present just now recommended Andre McCarvey to become the Earl of Casterme, and Duke McCarvey also readily agreed, and now Duke McCarvey wants Sean Marlowe Gallah to inherit the title of his mother's family, which is more reasonable, and if he opposes it at this time, it is completely not to give Duke McCarvey face, the boss is unhappy, and the consequences are very serious. And looking at the white-crowned Archbishop Benedictas looking at Sean Marlowe Gallaher with a doting face, the meaning of love is obvious, and offending the two most powerful people in the south at the same time, or suicide, this is definitely the best end.

"I see, father, that's what you really mean!" said Julian.
