"That's how the knights of Dan treat their guests?" Ulf exhaled.

When things are negotiated, there will be no scruples.

The invasion of the Vikings turned the island's nobles into two forms, one furious and the other compromised.

"Your Majesty, please think again, who did all this for the Moore family to lose its heir and change its lord so easily?"

"Enough, you drank too much last night, and your mind is not clear!"

Eventually, the red-haired knight is kicked out by Ella Norn.

After driving away the red-haired knight, the scene calmed down, and Oran continued, "It's not a wedding, it's just an engagement, and now that the parties to the marriage contract are all here, and the people and the priests, and so many nobles and soldiers are witnessing, is there a more suitable time than this?"

The sooner I finish the engagement ceremony, the sooner I can go back to complete the small matters, and bring people to support His Majesty sooner. ”

"Okay."

That night, after receiving Ella's approval, Orlan did not stay at the castle, but returned to the camp outside the city.

And the servant of the hall who saw this scene, after the banquet, secretly went to tell the princess and recounted everything that happened in the field.

During the night, the "red-haired knight" followed "Biner" into a small room for a detailed discussion, and after the end, Biner went to meet with Princess Hai'an......

In the early hours of the morning, the castle sent someone to tell Oran,

Tomorrow the doors will be reopened, and Oran will lead the people through the gates, leading to the church, and finally completing the vows of engagement in the presence of the clergy.

The whole thing flowed surprisingly fast.

In the middle of the night, the clerics and nobles of Elafon made a document of oath.

The instrument refers to the following:

The total amount of property to be paid for this marriage contract in Oran.

Orlan was given the title of Earl of Durham.

After taking command of County Durham, it is now the beginning of April, and at the latest the end of June will bring people back to support Ella.

Baron Darsf Canaan's right to rule may not be changed without the consent of the sovereign.

No tax is paid for the first two years, but from the third year onwards, the tax due to the sovereign must be made up for those three years, and the first two years must be retrospective, for a total of five years of taxes.

Malm gave up her royal title and in compensation received a crown territory, but only with her and Oran

After the birth of the son.

There were also a few other rules on how to divide the goods in the future of the joint war, or how the laws of Ella were to be applied to the Oran realm.

Looking at the whole contract, Orlan suffered a lot, and several subordinates were very puzzled, but Oran just let them rest easy, and he had other plans.

The next morning, when the gates of the castle were opened, Oran led the cavalry and entered in high spirits.

In addition to the nobles, the commoners also loved the wedding, and if the lord was generous, the people could even get a share of bread and fruit wine.

Commoners had no status or financial means to invite priests for blessings, so they mostly made a private agreement that those who sought witnesses would be considered legitimate husband and wife.

The aristocracy, on the other hand, preferred to hold it in churches because of its pomp and circumstance.

The aristocracy called the marriage passed in the church "Holy Marriage".

God as a witness, with the assistance of a priest, the nobles blessed, and finally the betrothed to exchange gifts and recite vows.

Commoners were at the age of 12 to 14 at the peak of their marriage, and the nobles were a little later because of their various arts and practices.

But marriages for titles or lands often took place, or they needed some degree of protection, so that many noble families performed betrothal ceremonies for the parties at the age of five or six.

At this time, the rituals were far less cumbersome than those of later generations, and the customs were not uniform in various places, some needed to bathe for three days, some were simple, some did not need to exchange gifts, and some needed to take out half of their possessions.

Engagement or wedding attire is also different.

At this time, the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms were popular to dress simply, using black, gray, and white.

The style of clothing is mainly a floor-mopping robe.

This is also in line with the Bible's concept of simplicity.

However, nobles mostly wore fine linen, wool, mink and other precious fabrics, and commoners mostly wore coarse linen fabrics.

There is also the improvement of clothing that has been handed down from Roman times.

Because it is simple and convenient, it is also common between commoners and nobles and nobles.

Oran had long been ready for the engagement, and a white silk garment was placed on his carriage.

It was a noble dress at the bottom of the box, bought by a merchant who had made a pilgrimage from Wessex to Rome.

He wears long boots made of cowhide and carries a jeweled dagger around his waist as an ornament.

But the inside is empty, which is unique to the island of the Isles of Marriage style.

The wedding ceremony should be sacred and white, so it is not obtrusive for men to wear white clothes, but if they can wear weapons, it is disrespectful to the gods, but the Vikings prefer to rob the church and sweep away the wealth inside.

Therefore, in this kind of wedding banquet, there will also be soldiers and nobles wearing weapons, but they cannot draw their weapons at will.

Oran carries a "dagger", symbolizing that he is armed and has the ability to protect his wife at any time.

But the inside was empty, and it symbolized that the wedding should not be stained with fighting and blood.

Before entering the church, King Ella and his family had already arrived at the scene, and Orlan moved quickly, jumped off his horse with a change of hands, and approached to say hello

"Your Majesty."

"After today, we are members of the same family, and you are also a member of the 'Norn' family, so you don't need to be so restrained."

Haian said so, but still held out his finger and asked Orlan to bow his head and kiss her princess ring.

Oran walked in front of the royal family members one by one, starting with Ella and Haian.

The second daughter, Imo, stands with her husband William.

If it is according to the aesthetics of the times, it is a very good match.

Imo is a year younger than Malm and two years older than Oran, who is eighteen years old.

But it has completely faded from girlishness, full of feminine taste, and there is a beautiful mole under the corner of her eye, and her appearance is not inferior to that of her mother Hai'an.

After greeting his eyes, Oran walked quickly without staying too long.

Then there is the third daughter "Pepa", the heroine alluded to in the "Beauty Flower" performed by the jugglers in the south.

"My daughter's daughter, or my daughter." Oran remembered the joke.

"Pepa" and "Imo" belong to two different appearances, those who like it will appreciate it very much, and those who don't like it will probably think that they look weird.

If you want to depict it, it is probably like an ascetic face that circulated in Orlan's memories of his previous life.

The face is expressionless, the lips are slightly thick, and the pupils are hollow.

Orlan was not interested in knowing about the Ella family's, and the thought flashed through his mind.

And for Pepa, how much I wish the bride at this moment was herself.

"Your Excellency Oran." Pape took the initiative to say hello to Oran.

"Your Highness Pepa." Oran brushed past Pepa's fingers, which had calluses on them, which were proof of sword practice, and Pepa's fingers were very delicate.

It feels like a thick sword wrapped in a thin silk cloth, which is both dangerous and novel.

Pepa wanted to hold the man's hand for a moment, but Orlan quickly passed over to her.

Pepa is still only a titular highness, and among the daughters of Ella, only the eldest daughter Malmu and the second daughter Imo have really enjoyed the courtesies of His Royal Highness.

Pepa Imo Jr. was born seven days ago, her mother was originally Ella's lover, and she was adopted by the princess after her mother's death.

Four years ago, fourteen-year-old Pepa was promised to an old Francotian nobleman in South France.

He was a very old nobleman, but he was very rich, and the dowry was so large that he could arm his father with a team of sixty men.

But three days before the wedding, Ella sorted out her mother's relics and letters and found that her mother had had an affair with another man, and she was not of the king's blood, and after that day, it was difficult for her to contact the outside world.

Then everything is lost, including chastity......

She was like a bird in a golden cage (court), unable to leave an inch.

This is Ella's anger and revenge,

It is also my own sorrow and suffering.

Pepa fantasizes that one day she will be able to put on her dress again, even if it is an old man......
