Chapter 157: Marriage (Part II)

With Ark's potion workshop and mercenary group becoming a force to be reckoned with across the continent, Ark himself has attracted more attention from many people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Regardless of whether Ark is the rumored spellcaster or not, there is one thing that has attracted the attention of many people, Ark is seventeen years old, but he is not married, and he is not even married.

In fact, it's not that no one wants to marry Ark, but usually they don't even see Ark's face.

For this reason, Uncle Reiner is a little worried in his heart, as Ark's elder, equivalent to his adoptive father, he has always felt guilty about his former friend, Ark's biological father.

Uncle Reiner felt that his task had not been completed for a day before Ark got married, but he also knew that with Ark's current status, ordinary women were really not worthy of Ark.

But how easy is it to find the right one?

Therefore, when Count Soros, the envoy of King Carlo IX of the Blue Star Kingdom, approached Uncle Reiner and proposed that Carlo IX wanted to marry Ark, Uncle Reiner agreed without even thinking about it, and was very happy in his heart.

The king's daughter, and is also the favorite daughter of Carlo IX, the ninth princess Sophia, where would Uncle Reiner not agree? However, this matter still has to be negotiated with Ark in person after all, after all, it is not an ordinary family, if it is an ordinary family, Uncle Reiner can agree, but this is a marriage between Carlo IX and Ark, it is not as simple as it seems.

So, Reiner immediately took Count Soros to the castle and interviewed Ark.

"Viscount Ark, we meet again. ”

Ark was already waiting in the hall, and he received a notice from Uncle Reiner, saying that there was an envoy from Carlo IX, but he didn't expect it to be Count Soros, who could be regarded as Ark's "acquaintance".

"Count Soros, please take a seat. ”

Ark waved his hand slightly, he didn't look like a viscount, but like a high king, but Count Soros didn't have any dissatisfaction, with the current identity and status of Ark, what is the difference between him and the king?

What's more, Count Soros saw with his own eyes the methods of Ark and Spark when they broke into the palace alone, and Count Soros was in awe of the spellcaster from the bottom of his heart!

"Count Soros, I wonder what Carlo IX sent you for?"

Ark asked bluntly, without much politeness in his tone.

Since the Great War in the Royal Palace, Ark has also learned about the situation of Carlo IX, who has indeed been in a slump for a long time, but recently seems to have recovered and begun to govern the Blue Star Kingdom.

Originally, the Blue Star Kingdom had a period of chaos because of the decadence of Carlo IX, but now it has gradually recovered, this time Carlo IX sent Count Soros to come, and Ark couldn't guess what Carlo IX wanted to do, was he still interested in the "secret of immortality" on him?

Count Soros looked serious, and then said in a deep voice: "Dear Viscount Ark, His Majesty the King sent me to ask for the opinion of Viscount Ark, His Majesty has learned that Viscount Ark is now seventeen years old, but he is not married, therefore, His Majesty the King intends to give His Royal Highness the Ninth Princess Sophia to marriage, I wonder what Viscount Ark wants?"

"Marriage?"

Ark instantly understood, Carlo IX actually had the idea of marriage, this obviously felt that Ark was uncertain, so he was ready to win over Ark.

Uncle Reiner also hurriedly said: "Ark, I have also inquired about Princess Sophia, she is the favorite princess of King Carlo IX, she has just turned fifteen years old this year, and her appearance is also very beautiful. Your father entrusted you to me, and now that you are an adult, it is time for you to get married. ”

Uncle Reiner's words silenced Ark, who hadn't even thought about getting married. But now that I think about it, he is also a nobleman now, and he is almost indistinguishable from a king, with a huge force in his hands.

In the eyes of outsiders, he has never been married, which seems to be a bit abnormal.

In particular, Uncle Reiner has always felt guilty about Ark's father, and has long wanted Ark to get married, and even hopes to give birth to an heir, and he can be regarded as fulfilling Ark's father's request.

According to Rickian and Orville, once you become a caster, it is very difficult to keep an heir, and the longer you become a caster, the higher the caster's level, the more difficult it is to have an heir.

This is a hidden danger for Ark, of course, whether he has children or not is actually not so important to himself, he has a long lifespan, and if he becomes a first-level spellcaster, he can even live for hundreds of years.

But Ark had to wonder if he would stay in this world forever? Spark had always wanted to go to the other side of the sea, to go to this world, which was the caster's world. If Ark also made up his mind to go to the other side of the sea, then he would have to pay attention to the affairs of the heirs, the potion workshop he left behind, the mercenary group he left behind, everything he left behind needs to be inherited by the heirs!

Ark hadn't thought about this kind of thing before, because he thought it was still very early, and it seemed to be far away from him, but now it wasn't until Count Soros mentioned this that Ark suddenly realized that it was not far away from him, on the contrary, it was quite close.

However, the marriage with Carlo IX is probably not so simple, and how can the political and political things be simple?

"Tell me, what conditions did Carlo IX come up with?"

Ark asked directly, with his understanding of Carlo IX, this is an ambitious monarch, and at the same time a smart person, it is impossible to want to marry Ark for no reason, there must be some conditions.

Count Soros was a little embarrassed, but then said with a smile: "If Viscount Ark agrees to marry, His Majesty the King will make Viscount Ark an earl, and dozens of cities north of Cansley City will be your domain!"

After that, Count Soros also took out a detailed map, which seemed to be prepared, and he pointed to some of the cities on the map that were divided by red lines, and Ark glanced at them, which together amounted to about one-third of the area of the Duchy of Fennan. It seems that this time Carlo IX has indeed made a bloody investment and is ready to bleed heavily.

However, Ark also knew that Carlo IX sent his daughter and such a big fief, but he did not befriend Ark for no reason, and there must be a purpose.

Count Soros stared at Ark with blazing eyes, and said word by word: "Your Majesty has only one condition, that is, please move the headquarters of the Potion Workshop and the mercenary group into your territory after marriage!"

"I see......"

It dawned on Ark that he finally understood the purpose of Carlo IX. (To be continued.) )
