Following the Grand Duke to the long table, Henry was placed first on the Archduke's right hand by the butler, and sitting opposite him was Sycodi. The girl looked even more nervous than before, and she cut her chop without saying a word with her head down. Anta. Silver Shield raised his glass and said to Henry, "Welcome to the aristocracy and become one of us, and I can tell you about the rules and mysteries of the game between this circle in a moment." Henry raised his glass and took a sip and put it down gently, he hated the taste of wine too much. The Grand Duke, apparently discovering this ignition, asked, "Why is this wine not to your taste?" I asked the housekeeper to change the bottle. Henry stopped him with a smile and said, "No, I have always followed the teacher's instructions and never drank alcohol." So I have some rejection of alcohol. "Anta. When Yindun heard this, he suddenly realized and said: "You are really a strong-willed person, and it is rare to know that there are few people who can resist fine wine." I heard your teacher is Archmage Tyrantyre? ”

"Yes, I had the privilege of studying under his tutelage for more than a year. It was not until this spring that the systematic education of the mage was completed. Henry said after cutting off a small piece of steak.

The Grand Duke smiled and said, "Then you are really a genius who can obtain the approval of an archmage in such a short time." I've also received news that you've been recommended by the Seven Suns Business Alliance, and that you're very close to them. You've given them a lot of magic potions to sell, and you've recently struck a salt deal with Jarsyl? ”

Henry swallowed the piece of meat in his mouth and said, "Thanks for the compliment." I received a lot of help from the Business Alliance, and Mr. Jasso also helped me get a knighthood and become a nobleman. These trades are all part of the giveback. ”

"You know that the character of the Grace Chart is admirable, but I need to warn you not to leave all your trade to the Seven Suns, it will cause a lot of people to be dissatisfied. You are now a liege with a field and need to be neutral towards merchants. That's how you get more support. "Anta. Silver Shield reminded.

Henry thought for a moment and felt that it was dangerous to put his eggs in one basket, and after wiping his mouth, he said to the Grand Duke, "Thank you for the reminder, except for magic potions and salt, I am not going back to give them more trade opportunities." In addition, I plan to grow some spices in the territory, I wonder if His Excellency the Grand Duke of Lu Dao is interested. ”

"Haha To be honest, I am very envious that Seven Suns can find such a big gold mine as you. Of course, I am very interested in spices, but I don't know what your variety and yield are. "Anta. Silver Shield said to him with a big laugh.

Henry thought for a moment that his territory was warm and humid, and should be more suitable for growing nutmeg, pepper, and ginger. He drank a spoonful of soup and said to the Grand Duke: "I plan to grow nutmeg, pepper and ginger, and the planting area will be large, and I expect the first output to be produced next spring." ”

"It seems that your territory will be very rich in the future, and these spices need a warm climate to be cultivated in abundance. They're in high demand for the whole of the North, and next spring you'll be visiting your island and talking about the spice trade. The Grand Duke looked at him meaningfully and said.

Henry ate the last bits of his plate and said, "Then I will wait there for your arrival." Also thank you for your hospitality tonight, the dinner was very generous. ”

Anta. Yindun smiled and said, "If you don't mind, can I ask if you have a lover or a marriage partner?" ”

Henry was immediately a little alert, as if he knew what the Grand Duke wanted to do, he shook his head and said, "I have been on the path of pursuing the power of power, and I have no time to think about this for the time being. ”

"Then how about marrying my family, you can choose one of my sisters or my daughters. So we can form a close alliance, you can have more say in the city, and I can get a strong reinforcement in the future. "Anta. Silver Shield gestured to his sister and daughter.

Henry fell silent, and thought for a moment that the benefits of marrying the Grand Duke would be obvious. He couldn't stay in the city all the time, and if something unexpected happened, it would be a lot of trouble if someone could speak for him out loud here. And it can integrate into the upper class society more quickly, and will not be excluded from the circle because of the new. The only downside is that his daughter doesn't seem to be very reliable. After thinking about the pros and cons, he said to the Grand Duke: "I agree with your proposal, and I have decided to take your sister. As for your daughter, she's too young, and she doesn't seem to like me very much. ”

Anta. Silver Shield touched his beard and said, "Then it's decided, we'll have a big banquet to celebrate in a few days." Come and meet your future husband now, a young man of great fortune and strength. ”

The girl tensed up nervously and looked at Henry with some trembling, and then whispered: "Your Excellency, I will be your fiancée from today onwards." In the future, I will help your family prosper and fulfill the obligations of a wife. ”

Henry smiled and walked up to her, kissed Sycody lightly on the forehead, and said, "Don't be too nervous, my lovely fiancée." You'll love it when you get to my territory. ”

Lady Brila came to her and took her by the hand and said, "To-morrow I will begin to teach her some things about the management of the family, and I will have to prepare a large dowry." ”

"Madam, if the dowry is concerned, I think some management talents are very good. You must know that there is no shortage of money in my territory now, but all kinds of personnel. Also, Your Excellency, this is the family crest I designed. After saying that, Henry handed over his blueprints.

The Grand Duke looked at it and said, "Quite a good design, I will hand it over to the Parliament." Rest assured, I will have plenty of butlers, blacksmiths, and gardeners in my dowry. Ma'am, I think we should take Shi Ji away for a moment now. Give the two young men a little time to be alone. ”

Mrs. Brilla smiled and picked up her daughter, kissed her husband, and said, "My dear, I didn't expect you to be so interesting after all these years. At a glance, you can see what young men and women need most. "Anta. Silver Shield smiled meaningfully at Henry and led his wife and daughter up the stairs.

After everyone left, there were only two people left in the entire hall. Having been kissed by Silky Ward, she stroked the long black hair on her forehead and said to Henry, "Your Excellency, would you not mind hearing my story?" ”

Henry kept a smile and said, "Of course not, if you want to." It helps us get to know each other. ”

"I was born out of wedlock and was not valued by my father after I was born. When he was a child, he lived in the family castle and received various aristocratic education in order to become a tool for family marriage. I was very nervous when my brother told me to come today, but you look fine. Young, handsome, and polite, he is also a promising mage and nobleman. It's almost the same story I heard from the bard's mouth. ”

Henry smiled when he heard his fiancée's comments and said, "Most of the stories in the bard's mouth are not credible. Since you're telling your story, I'll tell you my story too. Henry then cut down his post-travel experience a little and told Sycodi.

She was fascinated by what she heard, and when Henry had finished, she came back to her senses and said, "What a wonderful life experience! I look forward to the day when I get married to you. It's getting late, so you'd better go back early, I'm going back to the house to rest. With that, she walked up to Henry, kissed him lightly on the cheek, and ran upstairs blushing.

Henry said goodbye to the butler and turned and walked out of Anta. Silver Shield's mansion came out into the street, and on the way back he thought to himself: this marriage looks good, and his fiancée is at least not a slut, a nympho or a shrew. In addition to a little nervousness, Shi Kodi is generally rational and steady. Judging from her tone, she doesn't have much of a good impression of the Silver Shield family, and I believe that she will become her good helper in the future and manage the affairs of the territory. When he returned to the ship, he found that the revelry was still going on, and the orc warrior came up to him with a drunken look and said, "Head! You're back, tell me what's delicious for the nobles' dinner? He sighed and said, "There's nothing to eat here, I'm dying of hunger." The whole dinner time was about politics, trade, and marriages, and I didn't eat much at all. Hawke also came over and brought a large plate of beef, and said, "I have long known that you will not be full, and I have left these for you." I think I just heard about the marriage? Henry nodded, gave the whole thing a little bit, and then devoured it.

Hawk took out his pipe and lit it for himself, took a deep breath, and said, "You're doing the right thing, maximizing all the benefits." And Miss Scotty is also a beautiful girl, isn't she? When are you going to have the celebration? Henry swallowed the contents of his mouth and said, "In a week." We are short on time and need to get back as soon as possible so that the infrastructure for the entire territory can be completed quickly. Tomorrow I, Cagan, and Amy will go back to Belgost, and the city will be left to you. Hawke nodded and said, "No problem, you are now an earl and have just married the duke, no idiot will trouble us at this time." Vaughn drank the last little of the glass and came over to Henry, "Head! Take me tomorrow, I'm getting moldy if I stay on the boat. Henry thought for a moment that he could protect his mother and sister on the way back with Vaughan, so he agreed to his request. After eating the beef, he asked the people who would leave tomorrow to stop the carnival and go back to his room to sleep, and he went back to his room to sleep.
