Chapter 180: Additional Conditions
The Duke of Amberton's words made everyone's hearts chuckle, and they didn't know what kind of pit this shrewd and ghost-like duke would make everyone jump. Larry forced himself to calm down and said, "Lord Duke, please speak." ”
The Duke of Amberton smiled, pointed at Larry with his hand and said, "I want this little brother to be my son-in-law, as long as you agree to this condition, I will promise to sell all the land in the territory to you." ”
As soon as the duke's words were finished, the others present instantly petrified and were stunned one by one. Originally, everyone thought that the duke would ask for a sky-high price so that he could make more money, but no one expected that he would propose to recruit a son-in-law, which is really unexpected!
Larry's eyes were so wide that he was about to fall off, he opened his mouth wide and said "ah" for a long time without saying a whole word, Duke Amberton looked at Larry with a smile, as if Larry's reaction had been expected by him.
The first to come back to her senses was Lyanna, she smiled and said: "The love of the Duke is really unbearable for us, how can the Duke's daughter be able to climb high by civilians like us, the Duke really likes to joke, hehe......"
Unexpectedly, the Duke of Amberton sank his face and said very seriously: "I'm not joking, if you don't agree to this condition, this deal will be nullified." ”
Seeing that the Duke did not look like a joke, Savin felt a strange feeling in his heart, why did such a shrewd person have to take this as a condition of the transaction? It stands to reason that this would not do him any good, so why did he have to insist? Unable to suppress the curiosity in his heart, Sawin opened his mouth and asked, "Lord Duke, can I ask you the reason for doing this?"
The Duke of Amberton smiled indifferently: "The reason, it's actually very simple. I'm not afraid of your jokes, I have too many daughters, and all of them are old enough to get married, and I get a headache every time I think about it. I think this young man is very good, and he knows how to manage money, and if my daughter marries him, she will not suffer in the future. ”
Sawin sneered in his heart, it's almost the same as coaxing a child who has never seen the world for such a reason, I'm not a fool, how can I be deceived by you in a few words!
Sawin said: "Lord Duke, as far as I know, commoners and nobles are not allowed to intermarry, and I am afraid that such conditions are difficult to achieve, right?"
Duke Amberton pursed his lips and replied nonchalantly: "Of course I know, but don't worry, as long as you agree to my conditions, I will naturally have a way, and when the time comes, I will canonize this little brother as a knight, can't I, the duke, be able to divide the nobles, but I still have the power to canonize knights, and this knight's title is regarded as my daughter's dowry, haha......"
"Old fox ......" Everyone scolded in their hearts when they heard him say this, what an out-and-out miser, marrying a daughter actually used a broken title as a dowry, is there anyone who is more economical than him?
Seeing that he couldn't know the real reason why he did this from the duke's mouth, Sawin was a little embarrassed for a while, and promised him, but he was afraid that he would fall for this old man, and if he didn't agree, his purpose would not be achieved this time...... Sawin looked at everyone, and seeing that everyone was looking at him, Sawin had no choice but to say to the Duke of Amberton: "Lord Duke, can you let us discuss this matter, after all, this is not a trivial matter." ”
This time, the Duke of Amberton was very happy, he nodded and said, "Of course, a few distinguished guests, please take a moment, I will go and change my clothes." With that, the Duke stood up and walked out of the main hall.
As soon as the duke left, everyone immediately began to talk about it: "Oh, this old guy is really good, such a big nobleman is so stingy!"
"Isn't it? Such a request is too strange, selling land and taking a daughter, could it be that his daughter is ugly and no one dares to marry him, otherwise he wouldn't have to sell it like this, right?"
"Maybe something ugly happened, otherwise who would want to sell it to others like this......"
The more everyone talked, the more energetic they became, but Larry's face became more and more iron-blue, Sawin hurriedly stopped everyone and said, "Don't say that this is useless, let's think about the purpose of his doing this first." If I don't figure this out, I'd rather not buy his land. ”
Everyone listened to Savan's words and said yes, this old man is too shrewd, even if there are a few more people who are not his opponents, if he agrees casually without understanding the matter, I am afraid that he will not know if he is sold.
Everyone speculated for a long time, and always felt that the old man did not make any sense to do this, even if he didn't put forward this condition, two million gold coins would still not be less, why did he have to give away a daughter, even if he really wanted to say that there were too many daughters who were afraid that they would not be able to marry, then they would not marry the person they met for the first time.
Sawin stood in front of the window with his back hand and sank into deep thought, he really couldn't guess the Duke of Amberton's intentions, with his shrewdness, he would not have made a loss-making deal, but if he refused, he didn't know if he could find such a suitable place again......
Sawan suddenly felt that there was a lack of someone around him who understood politics, if Exewin was there, maybe he could understand the duke's intentions, Hortz and others led the troops okay, but they were laymen in politics, only Celia was born in an aristocratic family, but she was still too young after all.
Sawin thought to himself that in the future, he must find someone who can give him advice, otherwise he will still be at a loss when he encounters this kind of thing again.
The others didn't know what Savin was thinking, and after discussing for a long time, they couldn't come up with a solution, Larry saw that things were stuck, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "If it really doesn't work, just agree to his conditions, it's a big deal that I sacrifice!"
Lyanna teased: "You are a sacrifice, you picked up a wife for nothing, this is a good thing that a big pie fell from the sky." ”
Larry said angrily: "If you think you are taking advantage, you should marry his daughter!"
Lyanna rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, you ask the duke if he agrees, if he doesn't agree, I'll marry his daughter, isn't it just a little girl, as for scaring you like this?"
Lyanna's words choked Larry almost out of breath, and he snorted and stood up and walked over to Savin's side and said, "Sawan, it's okay, you can agree to his terms." I personally ...... Nothing ......."
Sawin looked back at Larry, and saw that his eyes were slightly red, Sawin patted Larry's shoulder and said, "Brother Larry, don't worry, I will definitely let you live a prosperous and rich life in the future, this time you make a small sacrifice, and I will compensate you a hundred times in the future." ”
Lyanna listened and said disdainfully, "You men don't have a good thing!"
Sawan glared at Lyanna and said, "Be honest with me!"
Savan's threat obviously didn't work, but Lyanna straightened her chest and smiled with a wink: "Come on, come and clean me up, I want to see what you are capable of." ”
"Vomit ......" Celia made a vomiting sound.
Savan didn't bother to bother with Lyanna anymore, so he came to the door of the main hall and said to one of the guards, "Please bring the duke." ”
The guard agreed, and Savin returned to his seat and waited quietly with everyone to negotiate with the Duke again. In a short time, the Duke returned to the main hall with a smile on his face after victory. Waiting for the Duke to sit down, Sawan spoke: "Lord Duke, we can agree to your conditions, but I also have one condition. ”
The Duke of Amberton frowned and said, "You can't do this, you have to be honest in business......"
Sawan interrupted the duke's words with a raised hand, and then said: "Wait, let me finish talking first, my conditions are very simple, it has nothing to do with the transaction itself, if the lord agrees, this deal will be established." ”
"You talk about your conditions first, and then I'll consider whether to agree. The Duke said without relenting.
"Yes. Sawin nodded and said, "My condition is that you have to tell me the real reason why you let Larry marry your daughter, as long as you agree to this condition, we will also agree to all your conditions." ”
The Duke of Amberton's eyes rolled a few times, and then pinched his nose with his hand, as if he was engaged in a fierce battle of thoughts, and after tossing for a while, the Duke finally stopped.
"Well, I can agree to your conditions. The Duke of Amberton said through gritted teeth.
