Chapter 397 Decision

"Your Highness, no, you can't do this, I firmly oppose this decision you made!" Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Shi Fatzi was holding a large number of documents for Lorist to sign in a row, and after putting down the documents, he went to the wine cabinet to get a bottle of fruit wine and opened it, and as soon as he sat down, he listened to Lorliste talk about a decision he made, and immediately jumped up in shock and loudly objected.

Because Lorist said that he decided to get married, married Princess Celevia, and asked Shi Fatzi to be responsible for preparing a grand wedding ceremony, and the time was set for half a year later. Lorist estimates that half a year should allow Celivia to heal the wounds in her heart, and her body will return to health without being as emaciated as she is now. But I didn't expect that the first to reveal his decision to Shi Fatzi was opposed.

"Why? Didn't you all approve of it before?" said Lorlist, a little annoyed.

"Your Highness, at this time and then, the Fisabrun family is our enemy, and I believe that Princess Celivia is good enough to become the Duchess of the Norton family, but after all, she bears the surname of Fisabrun, and we can't accept this. Shi Fatzi explained.

Lorist shook his head and said, "This is my private matter, and I will not marry anyone but her." As for whether you accept it or not, it's none of my business, I've already decided, and I'll do as I say. ”

"No!" Shi Fatzi was anxious: "The Grand Duke is selfless! Your Highness, you not only represent yourself, you also represent the entire Norton family, represent the more than 1.6 million people of the entire Northland, and also represent us loyal family knights! You must think about the reputation of the entire Norton family!"

"Hehe, is it? It turns out that I represent so many things, how come I don't know?Have you asked others if they want to be represented by me?" Lorist's face pulled down: "Do I have to get married and marry a wife, do you have to agree with you loyal family knights? If you oppose me, I can't be with the person I love? What do you think of me? The puppet in front? Everything is at your mercy, isn't it......"

"Uh......" Shi Fatzi realized that he had said the wrong thing because he was in a hurry: "Your Highness, you understand that I just said the wrong thing, and it is not what you said at all." No one dares to treat you as a puppet, you are a veritable Grand Duke of the Northland, this is a fact that everyone admits. What I object to is your decision to marry Princess Celevia. We used to say yes because the Fisabrun family is not yet our enemy, and your marriage to Princess Celivia will add a strong reinforcement to our family.

Now the Fisabrun family has not only become the enemy of our family, but has also suffered such a big loss at our hands, and has become the mortal enemy of our Norton family. The most important thing is that the Fisabrun family has become the defeated subordinates of our family's armed forces, and we have suppressed them in their family territory. Our soldiers are laughing and taunting them, no one looks at them anymore, and we are even ready to take revenge for the defeat of the Hunters in Makinogahara Province...... At such a moment, you decided to marry Princess Celevia of the Fisabrun family, is it really appropriate?

Your Highness, think of the rumors circulating in those family territories that you are angry and raise troops to attack the Fisabrun family because the Grand Duke of Fisabrun rejected your marriage request to Princess Celevia, and the rumors that the Duke of Kenmeth jokingly said that the three of their families are armed to help you rob your wife and become the enemy of the Grand Duke of Fisabrun, and if you marry Princess Celevia now, these rumors will be confirmed. What do you want the relatives of the martyrs of the family who died to think in their hearts? Did their relatives die heroically for you to marry your wife?

After Princess Celivia became the Duchess of our Norton family, how do you let us family knights and soldiers treat the Fisabrun family? If the Fisabrun family forces attack us again, I suspect our soldiers will not know whether to take up arms and fight back. Your Highness, this rash decision you have made now will cause great confusion in the hearts of the family, and I believe that no one in the family will support this decision you have made. “

"No one is as stupid as you say, the enemy doesn't know how ......to resist when they are in front of them," Lorist said stupidly, "Even if I marry Celevia, so what, the Fisabrun family is our enemy." ”

Well, Shi Fatzi's righteous words do make sense, which Lorist has not considered. As the head of the powerful First Family of the Northlands, he really had to take these influences into account. However, Lorist is determined not to change his mind, he must give Princess Celivia, who loves him deeply, a perfect home.

"You don't know, Grand Duke Fisabrun asked Celivia to come to our family as an envoy, this is just a name, and he told Celivia that she doesn't have to go back. Didn't you notice that Celivia didn't even bring a guard with her this time, just her two personal maids, and there were other people who were ready to negotiate, do you understand what that means? The old man is humiliating our love, so I must give Celivia an explanation, I want to marry her. Lorist insisted.

"Day, this old man is so vicious...... "Shi Fatzi suddenly realized, no wonder Lorist insisted on marrying Celevia as his wife. Shi Fatzi remembered an incident when he was a child, a batch of puppet toys were found in the grocery store on the street at home, and one of the clown puppets with a long nose was colorful and very beautiful, and the price was the most expensive. Shi Fatzi wanted to get this clown puppet very much, so he begged his father to buy it for him, and his father said that he needed Shi Fatzi to save money to buy it himself, so that he could earn money for the family.

At that time, Shi Fatzi, who was not yet ten years old, saved money from copper to copper in order to buy this clown puppet. Time passed, and when Shi Fatzi finally saved enough money to buy, he found that the owner of the grocery store was selling it off, and it was said that he was going back to his hometown and would not come to open a store. Seeing Xiao Shi Fat Man coming, the shopkeeper smiled and said that he still wants to buy the clown puppet? It's okay to give you, it's not worth much anyway, so let's take it as a parting gift.

That is the most impressive thing for Shi Fatzi, what he wants to get day and night is abandoned in the eyes of others, looking at the small bag of copper that he has earned after three or four months of hard work in his hand, and then looking at the clown puppet that the shopkeeper threw to him without care, Shi Fatzi's heart feels uncomfortable. When he got home, he threw the clown puppet in a corner and never played with it again.

The situation that Lorist encounters now is similar to that of his childhood, if not more uncomfortable. The Grand Duke of Fisabrun gave Princess Celevia as a gift to Lorist, ostensibly bowing to the Norton family and surrendering, look, didn't you start the war for her, anyway, the rumors say so, then our Fisabrun family admits defeat and sends her to you, please let our family go. But in reality, the Grand Duke of Fisabrun did not take into account the feelings of the two parties at all, or, as Lorist said, humiliated the two of them. Aren't you going to be together, okay, you don't have to propose, you don't have to spend so much, I will give you Princess Celevia, life and death are up to you, now you are satisfied together, right?

"Your Highness, since this is the case, then you can be together first, and then we will hold a wedding for you after a few years when things are almost calm, and we don't need to invite too many people, and try to minimize the impact, do you think this is okay? Anyway, you can make Princess Celivia the head mother of the Norton family now, but for the time being, there is no real name. Shi Fatzi thought about it and made a suggestion, in his opinion, this is the best solution at present.

"No......" Lorist immediately rejected the suggestion, "I can't let Celivia live with me like this, what's the difference between making her my concubine?" I know you're thinking about the family, but Baron Schreed, have you considered how Celivia feels? Being abandoned by the family has made her miserable, and if I do that to her, then she will really be a gift to be given, and I must give her a grand wedding so that I will not live up to her love for me.

At the same time, I will slap that old fellow of the Grand Duke of Fisabrun in the face, do you really think that I will treat Celivia as a slave girl? I will make Celivia my bride in the open, the mistress of the Norton family, and the duchess of the Grand Duke of the Northlands. Make everyone envy her, and make the Fisabrun family regret what they did. I believe that Celivia, after becoming my bride, will forget the surname Fisabrunn and will only be proud of the great surname Norton in the future......"

"But, but, Your Highness, how can we come up with an explanation and explain it to the soldiers of our family......

"It doesn't matter, it's very simple, I would like to express my gratitude to all the soldiers of our family's armed forces for their heroic fight to finally force the Fisabrun family to bow their heads and present Princess Celivia, so that we can finally be married, all thanks to the great victory achieved by our soldiers......"

Lorist took the initiative to confirm the rumors that Princess Sirivia would raise an army to destroy the Iberian Kingdom and attack the Fisabrun family, and changed the passive to the active, so that the purpose of the two families competing for hegemony in the Northeast was disguised after this legendary excuse, and I believe that gossip lovers will prefer to spread this war story for love.

"Our family soldiers will be proud of this legendary excuse, and when they are old, they can sit at the wine table and boast triumphantly to their children and grandchildren, saying that in those days, we helped the Grand Duke of the Northland to rob his wife, beat the Fisabrun family to the ground, and finally had to hand over the beautiful Princess Celivia, so that she and the Grand Duke of the Northland finally became husband and wife, and the lovers finally became married...... In this way, the Fisabrun family becomes villains, hahaha, that's a good idea. ”

"By the way, our family has seized the Jinling Gold Mine and seized more than two million gold products. I think I can use these gold to cast a batch of gold medals as a souvenir, engraved with the names of me and Celevia, and engraved with the words "lovers will eventually become married" below, and then send them to all the soldiers who have participated in the Iberian Kingdom Raids as medals, whether it is our Norton family or the family soldiers of the three allies, as long as they have participated, they will be issued one, so I believe that no soldier will complain about helping me rob my wife to fight. ”

Lorist proudly put his feet on his desk, applauding the statement he had come up with.

"Your Highness, isn't this a bit too shameless......" Shi Fat Man couldn't laugh and cry.

"Those who achieve great things are not informal. Lorist replied lazily, resting his feet on the desk, leaning back in his chair and feeling like he wanted to sleep. Also, I sat on the edge of the bed last night and spent the night with Celivia, and it is normal to want to sleep.

"Baron Schreed, I will leave the preparations for the wedding to you, and give me a list of budgets and rules for the wedding. There is still half a year to go, and it is scheduled to be around November. And the list of guests, don't forget. Lorist thought for a moment, and didn't forget anything: "I asked for this to be a grand wedding, understand? If there's nothing to do, you go down first, I'll squint ......"

"Hey, wait, I'm here for business, you have to sign so many documents, and you're waiting to use them. As a result, you dragged me for a long time for the wedding...... Schward, bring a basin of cold water to His Royal Highness to wash his face and sober him up, Schward, Schward, what about people?" Shi Fatzi called for a long time, but no one answered.

"Don't call it, no one is here, he should go to Beihai City to pick up his little junior brother. Lorist remembered what he had told Schward last night: "And, Baron Schreed, I'm not talking about a wedding that is pulling you nonsense, that's the right thing." ”

"Got it, I'll take care of it for you, don't worry. Sign these documents first, you touch your face first, and I'll ask someone to bring you a basin of water. "Shi Fatzi went out and asked the guards to get a basin of cold water.

"What did you say Schward was going to Beihai City to pick up the junior brother?" After a while, Schrader brought a basin of cold water and washed Lorlist's face.

"Have you forgotten that I said before that I took Sambarwood's eldest son as an apprentice? Now that the boy is sixteen years old, and he has awakened his fighting spirit, Sambarwood wrote to me and reminded me not to forget the promise I made back then, and I asked Schward to go to Beihai City to pick up his eldest son, and then he will be a squire by his side to see if he can be cultivated. Lorist immersed his whole face in the cold water of the basin to drive away the drowsiness and sober himself up.

"I heard you say it once, isn't Sambarwood's eldest son the stupid big guy who has always been with him?" Fat Man still had a little impression of the big man who followed Sambarwood every time he came to the family to report on the affairs of the Sea Legion.

"Yes. Lorist picked up the stack of papers brought by the fat man on the table and asked, "What's the matter, such a big stack?"

"It is the relevant document for the reorganization and expansion of the Guards Corps, which is the establishment and allocation of armaments, as well as the logistics and supply of the station, etc., which need to be signed by you before it can be arranged. You will also need to appoint the commanders of the other four Guards Legions......"

This time the Guards Corps will be divided into four corps, four battalions into one corps, four corps into one corps, each with a full strength of 48,000 men, and the newly recruited Guards will be more than 100,000 prisoners of war from the former Duchy of Madras, who have been serving hard labor for more than two years and have become the main laborers in the construction of water conservancy and transportation facilities in the province of Delemke, and will be free by the end of the year. In accordance with the tradition of the Norton family's armed forces, it was most customary to recruit soldiers from among these prisoners of war labor, who were about to be freed.

"Now, bring back Baron Fareah and Baron Belunec and let them take charge of the reorganization of the Guards, and you should take care of the preparations for the wedding first. Lorist said as he signed.

"Well, as you wish, Your Highness. Shi Fatzi stretched out his hand helplessly and shrugged his shoulders.
