Chapter 3: Flash Marriage

The two walked up to the stage and faced the priest.

The pastor, who should be very experienced, did not speak much, nodded slightly at the two of them, and then raised a heavy booklet in his hand and read: "As an apostle of God, today, I will be here on behalf of the gods to witness the marriage contract of the two newlyweds......

"Alice ยท Jones, would you like to be Mr. Gervais Gale's wife? โ€

"I do!"

"Mr. Gervais Gale, will you be the husband of Lady Alice Jones?"

"I do!" Gervais is very honest, although he is unwilling to roar in his heart, but now that it has come to this point, if he dares to pop out of his mouth half a word, he will ensure that the countess will be killed or buried, and it is estimated that even his father will not be able to escape. And I thought about my system tasks, if I can't complete the task, I don't know what the consequences will be, in case of what kind of obliteration, become an idiot! None of this was what he wanted.

"Congratulations to both of you, you have officially become a legal husband and wife in the presence of our Lord's land, and the glory of the Lord will always envelop you!" Under the auspices of a seasoned priest, the wedding of the two was officially completed.

From this moment onwards, the two of them were nominally officially married, and in the presence of the priest of the church, and their marital status was already fully legal in the sense of aristocratic law.

Because there is no marriage certificate in this world, and ordinary people don't need to engage in such a form, they just need to set the table and invite relatives and friends to eat.

But the nobility is different, because there is also the question of succession, and if the two are not married in the presence of the priest of the church, then the inheritance of the children born to them will not be protected by the law of the nobility.

The law stipulates that the first boy born to a legal couple has the right of first inheritance. Therefore, if you are not legally married, even if you give birth to the oldest child, you are only an illegitimate child. When the nobleman is legally married to another person and has children, even if the illegitimate child is the oldest, the inheritance will be lower and will be lower than all the children born to the legal couple, including girls.

Bite!

Mission accomplished!

Reward: 1 power point.

Because the quest system is released for the first time, an additional kiwi fruit will be awarded. The redemption mall is open.

Suddenly, the voice of the system came from Gervais's head, and Gervais was shocked, but now that there were so many people at the scene, he didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only press the excitement in his heart. Just wait for everything to be over and find a place where no one is around.

When the priest finished officiating at the wedding, he walked down the high platform under the guidance of the servant, and in his place, Alice stood in the middle of the high platform, facing the crowd.

"Thank you all for joining us tonight, now I have a few words to explain, I know that some of you may hold a grudge against Gervais because of tonight's incident, but now that he has married me, I don't want any of you to make childish acts in the future, if you do, you are provoking the dignity of my Jones family, I hope you can remember."

Alice speaks cleanly, without any slurry. In particular, she understood that the juniors among the retainers had regarded Gervais as enemies, so she solemnly warned that he was saying this to those young people.

Although she and Gervais are only husband and wife in name, as her husband, if any of the courtiers and heirs embarrass him or slander him behind his back, then it is a felony. The nobles can tolerate their subordinates oppressing the commoners and plundering the neighborhood, but they will never allow them to commit the following crimes, because this is the bottom line and represents the common interests of all nobles, big and small.

When the time comes, if someone really doesn't know how serious it is to trouble Gervais, then Alice will have to find justice for Gervais whether she wants it or not. Put some cruel words now, just in case, to avoid trouble in the future.

Hearing Alice's words, everyone below turned pale, including the barons and viscounts, who obviously took Alice's words seriously. And those young people, although they were quite jealous of Gervais and hated it in the slightest, but they didn't dare to look at Gervais anymore.

Hearing Alice's words, Gervais couldn't help but glance at this countess who was only twenty years old, and sure enough, she was worthy of being an old nobleman, and Alice was only twenty years old and had the momentum of such a superior. However, how can Gervais feel more and more like he has been adopted by the countess, this style of painting is wrong, I am a man, okay. Gervais felt a little nervous.

However, I am still a little grateful to Alice, which will help him avoid a lot of trouble in the future. Although all this hatred was brought by Alice, it couldn't stand people's nice words.

No matter what the world is, people who are good-looking will be more likely to be recognized by others than ordinary people.

After saying that, Alice's tone became soothing, and she continued: "Gervais does not have a knighthood yet, but since he has become my husband, then I will give him the title of baron, and I will give him the territory located in the southwest corner of the territory, starting from the Withered Leaf River to the Ghost Forest, as his barony!" โ€

Airplanes......

As soon as Alice finished speaking, there was a noisy discussion in the audience. Everybody's talking to each other.

"From the River of Dead Leaves all the way to the Dark Forest? It used to be a viscounty, right? This territory is too big, isn't it? โ€

"Yes, Viscount Majoor, but that was more than thirty years ago, since the Viscount Majoel family was attacked by the orcs in the winter season, and all the people of the Majoel family were killed by the orcs, it has been deserted, no matter how big it is."

"The Dark Forest is too dangerous. The dealer can only grow one season a year, and he can't even feed people, although there is an area the size of a viscount, but the population seems to be less than two thousand. โ€

"But the Viscount Castle over there seems to be still there, although it is dilapidated, but it is better than having to pay for it yourself."

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€

Some young people who didn't know the inside story originally heard that Gervais not only hugged the beauty, but also won the title and territory, and their hearts were dripping blood. But when they heard the discussion of the elders, their hearts instantly felt better, although Gervais got the territory, but that territory was too dangerous, and there was no way to develop output, and the territory that could not develop output meant that it could not support people, and the territory that could not support people was useless.

Gervais stood behind Alice, and the discussion of everyone in the audience, although he didn't hear it very clearly, but occasionally orcs, castles were breached, and winter and the like heard a lot, and the more he listened, the worse his face became.

Originally, when I heard that I had won a baronial title, and even more so that I still had a fief, I was so happy that I couldn't find the north, thinking that I would be a noble lord in the future, and I would live a life without shame, and I would get what I wanted. Unexpectedly, before he was excited for two seconds, he fell from the cloud again.

"God, are you playing with me, it's not enough to twist and turn, how many folds is this?" Gervais felt the urge to burst into tears.

Alice was not in a hurry, she didn't care about the noise in the audience, and waited for more than a minute, and the viscounts and barons in the audience finally finished their discussions, and the audience was quiet. The Earl was still standing on the stage, and there must be something to say, and they didn't dare to make the Countess wait too long.

When there was no more discussion in the audience, Alice continued: "Thank you uncles for your tireless efforts to come to Rose Castle for the dinner today. Now that my wedding with Gervais has been completed, I am a little tired, so I will no longer entertain everyone, let Gervais entertain everyone, everyone please take care of yourself! โ€

Although Alice's words sounded rude, the barons and viscounts knew that Alice's words were true, the old earl disappeared suddenly, and the new earl hastily inherited the title, and there must be many things to deal with.

After speaking, Alice came to Gervais's side and whispered, "You stay here to entertain them first, and I will send someone to find you later!" โ€

Then he left the hall surrounded by the maids. Like a gust of wind, it came and went quickly, and Empty Gervais stood on the stage alone and was sad.

After the countess left, everyone did not need to be entertained by Gervais, and the hall was instantly noisy, and both young and middle-aged people walked to the long table full of food and began to taste the food.

Especially those young people, they have the appearance of turning grief and anger into strength. After all, so much delicious food is rare for them to eat. At the beginning, it was to maintain their image, and now that they have a master, they don't have to continue to pretend, but in fact, they are panicked, hating why they are not being noticed by the earl like Gervais.

There were viscounts and barons in the field, and Gervais felt that he was not capable of entertaining them, and he was not in a very good mood, and he was happy to see that everyone had already eaten by themselves.

"Gervais, I'm so proud of you! Why don't you seem to be happy? Have fun, you're the star of the night! Just as Gervais was alone in his grief, Gandalf came up with a spring breeze on his face. said happily to Gervais, he didn't expect so many good things to happen to his son together.

"Father, what's going on with that piece of my territory?" Hearing his father's words, Gervais did not answer anything else, but hurriedly asked about the territory.

"Oh, my timid Gervais, I said why are you unhappy, it turns out that you are worried about the territory, don't worry, although your territory has some minor troubles, but don't worry so much at all, the danger is only in the winter season, other times, your territory is as safe as the Gaelic territory."

Gandalf was very burly, and he was a silver junior knight, and his voice was also very loud, and when he heard Gervais's words, he couldn't help but pat Gervais's arm and laugh loudly.

was slapped by Gandalf, Gervais almost jumped up, his father is unreliable, he is only a trainee knight, can he shoot indiscriminately as a silver knight? If you smash your arm, you won't be able to catch it.

"But ......"

"Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly when the banquet is over, now I'm going to drink with those old friends, you can be happy, you will be a real nobleman in the future!" Do you know how worried I was about you before? What a blessing from the gods! Be happy, Gervais. This is definitely a great thing for you! Gervais was about to say something, but Gandalf interrupted him, said to Gervais, and walked towards the place where the barons had gathered in the hall.
