Chapter 233: Urging Marriage from the Elders (Asking for Appointment)
The ceremony of receiving the award was unprecedentedly grand, almost comparable to the scale of the Badminton Festival and the Wind Flower Festival, and the nobles did not hesitate to be stingy, and the big things were extravagant, and they were arranged according to the highest standards.
In Eberhart's view, this is particularly ridiculous.
It's like reaching an ordinary little thing, you didn't be late for school today, and when you come back, your parents make a table full of Han in order to encourage you.
You don't feel happy for the first time, but are shocked and wonder if your parents are in the brain?
Hundreds of knights will receive medals as a reward of honor.
From this point of view, it is a traditional virtue for Mondstadt to honor the labor of prostitution.
However, Eberhardt is the absolute protagonist of the ceremony, and Protait, of the Lawrence family, resigned, and he can't wait to go back to study and explore the mysteries of immortality.
Little chubby Dunbuck, the expression of envy and jealousy grew directly on his face, he thought that if he joined the crusade and stood in the middle of the square, he should be the one who was praised by all the nobles!
Eberhardt maintained a reserved and humble image in front of the heads of the two families.
Landrich is proud of Eberhardt.
In the thirteen years since Eberhardt was admitted to the home of Imonloca, he has shown the qualities of a nobleman, whether it is etiquette, balls, swordsmanship, hunting, ...... Eberhardt has an excellent palmares.
Coupled with the recent birthday dinner, the suppression of the uprising, and the current crusade against the dragon, Eberhardt's outstanding performance has surprised Landrich one after another.
Mondstadt's illegitimate son was not entitled to his father's surname, and Eberhardt's surname is still derived from his mother, Monica. Christian in Christian.
But now, a year after Parsifal left, Landrich has only one son under his knees, Eberhardt, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, excellent sons can increase their status in their father's heart, which makes Landrich have the idea of giving Eberhardt the surname.
This is a significant matter.
In addition to the opinions within the Imonloka family, there are also the opinions of all the nobles of Mondstadt.
Landrich believes that caution is needed.
If Eberhardt could take another credit, Landrich would be able to convince the family and silence the other nobles.
In addition to Landrich, there is also Holsa, the head of the Lawrence family, who is a middle-aged man with white hair in the front and black in the back, and his temperament is not so much the nobility and oppression of the superior as an arrogant and domineering bully.
Although Holsa is accustomed to being pampered and leaves the affairs of his brain to Protait, the chief court guard loyal to the Lawrence family, the most basic stakes are clear.
Among the three nobles, the Lawrence family is the most powerful, dating from the time when the Anemo God first founded Mondstadt, and the earliest Aeolian statue was built by the Lawrence family's mother, Fanny Rarui.
Holsa thinks that he can make the family strong in his generation, and when it comes to his son Buck's generation, Holsa's heart is bottomless, he looks at his own baby every day, and often thinks that Buck is a cute stupid pig.
So, in order to leave some security for Buck, Holsa decided to marry the Imonloka family.
This kind of thing is very common for political marriages.
The wife of Holsa's brother is from the Imonloka family.
When Holsa posed as an elder and asked Eberhardt about his marriage, Eberhardt looked at his father, Landrich, who nodded slightly.
Eberhardt immediately laughed.
"Not married."
So Holsa introduced Eberhardt to his second daughter, who was eleven years older than Eberhardt.
Eberhardt's age is 27, which means that if he agrees, his wife will be a 16-year-old girl.
It's very practicing.
The reason why the presence of the three nobles of Mondstadt City, the Gunnhild family, is so low is because Lawrence and Imonloka have joined forces, 2 against 1, and the advantage is mine.
Landrich knew that Imonloca would have to be tied to Lawrence in order to have a "long life" in Mondstadt, and was willing to let the younger generation continue to marry.
Eberhardt hadn't seen the Lawrence family's two thousand gold, but he didn't care, no matter what his appearance and morality, it was just a tool to climb up.
Thus, Eberhardt's family affair was tentatively decided in the words of Landrich and Holsa, which was an episode of the honorific ceremony.
After the medal is over, there is still a dinner party.
Urberhardt, citing the exhaustion of the crusade, took a leave of absence, and he would have attended the dinner.
Landrich and Holsa readily agreed, and they talked about Holsa's brother and about the rebellious boy Kryuzrid.
Holsa has feelings for Kryuzrid, and he has been searching outside the city for all these years for his nephew's whereabouts, but to no avail.
On the other side, Eberhart returns to the Imonloka family, where there is a secret room underneath his room.
Eberhardt meets Miss Witch.
"You've failed." Eberhart said bluntly.
Miss Witch snorted.
"Failed tools have no use value and should be discarded, but in addition to my tools, you are still the teacher who taught me marksmanship, so I will give you a chance to redeem your merits."
"For a week, find the thief and kill him. With your abilities, it won't be hard to find him. Eberhardt's voice was calm.
"Okay." Miss Witch responded.
"Go ahead." Eberhart waved.
Miss Witch turned and disappeared into the shadows.
Eberhardt sat in his chair with his index finger tapping on the armrest, and after a while, Priscilla appeared.
"Young master, you've got it." Priscilla lowered her head and said respectfully.
"There's one more nail missing. If the conspiracy is revealed, there is a 50% chance of winning an immediate mutiny, but it is better to get it right. In this case, it's time to go to Dragonspine Snow Mountain......" Eberhart thought to himself.
Eberhardt had a desire to usurp power, and even if the inheritance fell to him, there would be people in the clan who were not convinced, so Eberhardt secretly needed coercion and inducement to make those potential threats "obedient".
It's so easy to get hold of a fool.
Priscilla has been dealing with this for Eberhardt, the intelligence chief, and the fact that she can do this means that she is clever and that she can guess the purpose of Eberhart's madness.
Despite this, Priscilla still served the young master dutifully.
"I'll write you a list later, and the people on the list are all people you can woo." Eberhart said.
This is what he observed, and found out some people in the group of knights who could serve him.
"Yes."
"Oh yes," Eberhardt remembered and smiled at Priscilla, "do you know what I asked Ewen to do?"
"My subordinates don't know."
"Sent to assassinate my brother." Eberhardt said lightly.
"My subordinates know." Priscilla was still calm.
"Do you think she'll succeed?"
"Although Young Master Parsifal's strength is outstanding, Miss Ai Wen is a witch and her ability is dangerous, so I'm afraid she is not an opponent." Priscilla said sensibly.
When Eberhardt heard this, he did not refute it with experience.
Love, it's really a useless feeling, it's not enough to succeed, it's more than enough to lose, and in the end it will kill yourself.
The narrow and dark environment of the secret room is easy to give rise to all kinds of desires pressed in the bottom of the heart.
Eberhardt looked at the respectful maid standing in front of her.
Her appearance is still the same as she remembers.
Scold.
Priscilla.
You're just a memory.
There was a rare hint of sadness in Eberhardt's cold, hard heart.
But soon, Eberhardt regained his composure, and he did not tell Priscilla about the fact that he would soon have a fiancée.
The reason is simple, Priscilla's identity is a maid, and she has no qualifications and rights to care about her master's love life.
Perhaps, there is a very small reason.
Don't dare tell Priscilla.
Why is that?
…………
Lin Ye has been a little sad recently, he feels that he has become a rabbit in the three holes of the cunning rabbit, and he keeps hiding.
It turns out that Miss Witch is a dog?
So good at finding people.
