Chapter 116: Considerations for Marriage

It only takes two hours to get to London from the airport in Milan, and when William expressed his wishes to Paul, in order to express his solemnity, for Princess Alice's courtesy, Paul Brontree personally took the plane to London, and at the same time, in order to ease this almost "forced marriage" posture, he also piggybacked on his niece Erica Brontree before leaving.

Princess Alice and Paul Bluntree are close comrades-in-arms, but it is easier to communicate and communicate between women when talking about certain topics.

In any case, William's abrupt request was a source of embarrassment for Paul Bwinner, especially since he was asking for the princess he had defended.

If as long as you are not embarrassed, then it is someone else who is embarrassed.

Paul Bluntree had a poker face in the first class cabin, and beside him sat the cadres of the bronze and black cross, and opposite him was his precious niece, Erica.

Introduce Erica to William, and let her accompany the king, even if it is only a young knight who has just been ordained, because of his proximity to the king and because of his background in the Brontree's family, he has become a major cadre in one fell swoop, second only to the chief commander and chief knight.

There is no objection to this, but it is logical, it seems that everyone thinks that it should be so, and no one is talking about this age,

After all, the King William they serve is only twelve years old, and the two prodigies Erica and Liliana, under the light of the king, are inconspicuous.

In the history of Japan, there is an emperor Xiaoqian, who once abdicated as a monk and became the emperor of Xiaoqian, when the situation was turbulent, she exiled the emperor and re-ascended the throne, known as Emperor Toku, she once said, "I am a monk emperor, so I have to find a monk to deal with state affairs." ”

Thus the monks jumped to high positions.

Because William is a twelve-year-old, it makes sense that he will be accompanied by a twelve-year-old.

The cadres of the red bronze will not look down on Erica because of this, but hope that she can stay by William's side, and if they don't occupy the position of the king's side, will they let other knights of the magic association occupy it, such as Liliana of the sworn enemy Bronze Black Cross?

There is a saying in the house of cards that the power field is like real estate, location is everything, and the closer you are to the center, the more valuable your property is,

"Erica, your mood doesn't seem to be high."

Paul Bluntree looked at his niece, and he didn't know how to face Princess Alice with a straight face, Erica had not said a word since boarding the plane, and the expression on her face directly revealed her inner thoughts.

Twelve-year-old Erica has certainly shown her talent as a noblewoman, but twelve-year-old she is still too young, far less confident in her charm after the plot officially begins, and is even willing to take the initiative to help Kusanagi Godo open a harem.

In addition to believing that she is good enough to handle Liliana and has absolute confidence in her friend, a child like her will inevitably suffer from gains and losses in the face of a mature woman.

"Uncle, you asked knowingly." Erica pouted, made a cute expression, and said dissatisfied.

It is impossible for the king to have only one lover, unless she has no interest in women, then she must accept this phenomenon.

The king who has gained the power of the gods by killing the gods has power that human kings cannot match, so he must also hold countless privileges.

Carlos, the old king of the Bourbon dynasty of Spain, still has a number of five thousand lovers, and countless illegitimate children, as a more prominent existence, even if this number is not too much, no matter how discounted.

"I knowingly asked, what did I ask?" Paul had a smile on his face, even though it wasn't pretty.

"Of course I know that a rich bachelor always marries a wife, and this is a universally accepted truth."

Erica looked up proudly, her eyes still a little red, and although she was extremely reluctant to accept this task, she did not say anything to accompany her uncle, carry out this order, and even act of persuasion.

"Erica, are you arrogant, or is it prejudice?" Paul Bluntree asked.

Erica's words are from Jane Austen's famous book, which not only indicates the tone of the story, but also the opening line.

"It was William's arrogance, who once said to me that he was obsessed with my charms, and that if I were a princess, he would propose to me."

Erica clenched her fists, and at this time she finally understood the arrogance that William carried, as long as she was not a princess herself, then no matter how good she was, he would not be able to propose to her.

The marriage of the royal family is extremely cruel, in modern times, for example, the marriage of the king is usually the princess of another country, no matter how bad it is, it will be the princess of an independent grand duke, if you do not have such an identity, the marriage is basically useless.

"The Brontree family is not the Medici family, even if we post money, if the other party is not willing to accept it, we will not be able to post a queen."

The Medici ruler of Florence, a banker by training, held power in Florence during the Republic, and at its peak established the Grand Duchy of Tuscany with Florence as its capital.

In order to marry the French king, the Medici family married the daughter of their family to the heir to the throne at that time through the mediation of Pope Clement VII of the Medici family, with the control of six cities and a dowry of 300,000 gold coins.

It was, and still is, a huge amount of money.

Any monarch would be moved and seriously considered, and all that the Medici family of Florence needed was to rely on the power of the French king to maintain their rule.

Even if William insists that he is not a nobleman, he is still full of attachment to the princess's so-called noble blood.

It is universally recognized that a single man with rich family resources must want to marry a wife, so the Medici family, who have obtained a prominent status, would rather pay a dowry than marry their daughter to the French royal family to maintain their class status.

The brave man defeated the evil dragon and married the princess, not so much the princess's love and the king's reward, but the inevitable practice of the brave to improve his class, and the reward title is not enough to satisfy the brave, and the royal blood must be obtained.

"It is strange for me to say this, but this is no longer the time of aristocratic rule, and even commoners can say that the blood of the nobility is not superior to ours. Do you think William didn't understand this? ”

Paul's words left Erica confused, and she shook her head, not understanding, which was the strangest thing.

"What is the difference between nobles and commoners, and why did King Arthur rebel against the Roman Empire in the first place, because when Rome conquered Britain, if he identified himself as a Roman, and recognized the emperors and consuls elected by Rome, he could rule Britain as a matter of course.

Then the recognition that Britons are Romans, and any Britons naturally have the rights of Romans.

If the Britons do not agree that the Britons are Romans, and the Romans elected by the Romans themselves become emperors and consuls, then why should the Britons obey the emperors and consuls elected by the Romans themselves.

The Romans were not nobles, and the Britons were not commoners.

It's food for thought, isn't it? ”
