Chapter 298: The Truth (Part II)
"What about the situation?" said Romon when he was stunned. The gangsters talk about old topics
"According to what I have received, in order to settle the dispute of the meritorious person, it may take the form of a masquerade. In other words, as before, we wore dance robes, no underwear underneath, put on masks, and let them choose. Sly said with a wry smile: "According to my guess, it is likely that according to merit, there will be one or three chances to be drafted, and the quality of the territory depends on their luck." Of course, we are all daughters and wives of the Lord and Sir families, and our territories vary in size to a limited extent. It is nothing more than the difference between poor and rich. ”
"You mean, you now have to face the fate of being chosen, and the object is not at all for you to decide?" Owenna looked at her friend in astonishment, once upon a time, that innocent and sweet face was gone, replaced by a face full of helplessness.
Don't. Is this the happy and happy friend of my former life?
Is it the woman who swore that she would love only one person in this life and be happy forever?
How did it become the way it is?
"Owenna, don't feel sorry for me, these are not our choices at all, after all, according to the rules of the nobility, the next generation of heirs must be our children, in order to protect the existing status and wealth, I can only do this. You know, if I don't do that, my nobility and the title of Sir Lady will be hard to keep, but I won't do anything, and if I am allowed to live like those commoners, I might as well die. Anyway, if you want to find a husband to maintain your existing honor, then it is not a bad thing to choose a meritorious person. What do you say?" said Slae, who smiled bitterly, and then took the initiative to relieve Owenna.
Owenna's face was somewhat ugly, it was the first time she had heard of this kind of thing, although she had also been exposed to some erosive life in high society before, but in her impression, at least, the aristocratic ladies still had a certain degree of autonomy in choosing their husbands, even those noble ladies who remarried, they could choose not to marry, or choose someone they liked to marry, and their property would not be threatened and affected in any way. Moreover. Due to the regulations of the goddess of love, a man can only marry a legal wife, which also greatly protects the rights and interests of women. But now, because of the war, the goddess of love actually allows men to marry three temporarily. Wife!
"Sly, I know you have a lot of truth in what you're saying. But do you like this kind of life? Live with a man you don't love for the rest of your life, just to keep your current position? Is this kind of life really what you want? Why did things turn out like this? Why would a goddess agree to such a ridiculous thing as a man marrying three wives?
"Shhh She looked around. Finding that no one was nearby, he lowered his voice even more and said: "You have to marry someone in the future, don't say this kind of thing again, if you are accidentally heard by the people of the Goddess of Love Church and curse you, then, your future marriage road will probably not be smooth." Besides, since this kind of myth has come out, it is not something that the power of a few of us can stop. If you talk too much, you will get yourself into trouble, so let's accept our fate. ”
"Resignation?" As soon as Owena heard this word, her anger suddenly collided, and in the cognition of a noble woman, this word had never appeared.
Although girls from poor families are indeed difficult to marry, it is for the sake of life.
But. A woman who grew up in an aristocratic family doesn't have to worry about recommending cattle at all.
Although they will also be forced to choose some men who are well-connected to marry. But at the very least, it is necessary to obtain their consent for the legitimacy of such a marriage.
This is due to the fact that to God, female believers and male believers have the same mercy, and of course they will not oppress women.
Not to mention, there are many goddesses who exist.
Under God's balance, the status of women in this world is not low, at most slightly inferior to men.
Moreover. No matter how aristocratic men and women are outside. Legally recognized, forever monogamous. This kind of marriage also has some arranged connotations. But it's much freer than it is now.
"Alright. Owenna, don't mention this, let's talk about you. Do you have a marriage partner now?" Sly looked at his friend and said with some envy: "I really envy you, at least, your family has not been affected too much by the demonic disaster, and you can freely choose who to marry." Even if that person may marry two more wives in the future, but, your situation. It's much better than the rest of us. ”
Speaking of this, Slay smiled bitterly, picked up the wine glass he had just snatched again, and raised his head to drink another glass, a delicately dressed little face under the urging of alcohol. It's already pink.
Then. Owenna didn't snatch it anymore, she knew her friend needed it.
At that moment, a jumble of footsteps suddenly came from the other side of the hallway, and someone pushed open the hidden door. Then, a well-dressed middle-aged man walked in. The eyes of the women in the hall suddenly converged on him.
"Sly
Ping Nuna saw her friend's body shake and stand up, and couldn't help but worry about the old... then
"It's okay, Owenna, this is for the rehearsal of the party, the real selection, and we have to wait until the disaster in this area is over, I'm going to go over and communicate with them, you can rest here, so as not to cause any trouble in the past." Slay smiled at her, and, with a handful of clothes, walked over to the other side of the hall.
At this time, more than a dozen men had already walked in from outside the door, although it was a rehearsal, but it was indeed a meritorious person.
Since they are meritorious heroes in the demonic calamity, they are all heroic people no matter what.
Even if there are old people. He will also send his own son to represent him.
Therefore, at a glance, most of them are young men in knightly uniforms, and there are middle-aged people, but there are no characters who are too old, and there are teenagers who obviously accept women on behalf of their fathers, with youth!
Meanwhile. The women waiting in the hall pretended to chat. At the same time, he secretly fattened these men, and when he found that the age and situation of these people were quite good, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did they feel that the deal was not too ugly. After all, these may be husbands who will live for a long time in the future.
"Ladies and ladies, please be quiet for a while, let me make an introduction, these dozen or so are the heroes who have just made war exploits recently, this time they came here to receive aristocratic etiquette training, ladies and ladies. Please help them as much as you can!" said Mrs. Perry, as she walked to the center of the hall.
Owenna sat in a hidden corner of the hall, watching the farce with some helplessness.
Just now, her friend Sly had already told her plainly. This gathering was originally a blind date drill specially arranged by the Goddess of Love Church.
Of course, this is to give these ladies and ladies a chance to choose from.
If Slay said it, the future is still wearing exactly the same robe and wearing the same mask. But in fact, the appearance and smell of people are different, if they are familiar and recognize each other. Maybe you can pick the person you want on that field.
This is both an opportunity for some people to cheat and a chance for them to choose their future husband.
Although in fact, this choice is so helpless, because of the difference in the merits of the meritorious service, the range of husbands they can choose is actually very narrow, but this is just to give them some face and preserve the little dignity they have left.
"Hello, are you Mr. Cardiff? Your heroic deeds, I didn't expect a real person to be so handsome" A noble young woman was talking to a middle-aged man with a smile.
"This young lady. Can I invite you to a dance?" a young knight held out his hand to a young lady.
A moment later. Almost every lady and lady had a conversation with a man.
Even Owenna's friend Sly had to join in this masquerade game, acting himself as a poor young woman, and the young man opposite her didn't seem to be of very noble origin, and without this, the snow-white plump ** in the robe of the young and beautiful young woman loomed. So that he can barely hold himself"
"Without her son and husband, is a woman's fate no longer in her hands?" Looking at all this that was happening in front of her, Owenna felt a lot of emotion.
These aristocratic ladies and ladies, just because they lost their husbands and sons in the demonic disaster, or because their families were threatened, they had to use their marriages as collateral for their future lives.
Even if they like this kind of life, can they bear it?
Endure living with someone you don't love for the rest of your life?
Such a life. Just thinking about it makes your scalp tingle, let alone trying
!
But if you don't, how do you choose?
How can you control your own destiny in the future?
hall there. The women and men all seemed to be wearing masks, and they looked personable and radiant. But what exactly are they like in private. Does the other party know?
Now you can still talk and laugh and appreciate each other, once you get married, will the hidden dangers be exposed?
"No, I don't want to be like them. Owenna's fists clenched tightly, and her pretty face was full of determination.
She doesn't want to live such a life at the mercy of others! These seemingly beautiful women, once they lose the strength they rely on, will become the pitiful appearance they are now!
Lost power. How miserable is a woman's order! This kind of misery, regardless of whether you are noble or not, as long as you are weak, will inevitably not encounter such a situation!
"I don't want to be like them, I want to be strong, I want to be a knight!"
Became a knight. Although it is not possible to fully control one's own destiny, it is clear that at least this degree of destiny. It's completely reversible. Knights are precious, even in the current era of blowouts, no one will think that they have more knights.
And this, will bring knight privilege and status.
Owena made up her mind!(To be continued)
