"Bring-in-law?"
Gray finally understood why the other party was hostile to him.
Gray didn't know much about the Cumberland family. He only knew that the family was a Marquis family and knew nothing else about it.
However, after arriving at the Cumberland family, out of curiosity, he asked the servant of the Campbell family about the identities of Jessea and Audrey.
From the inquiring, we learned that the Marquis of Cumberland did not have a son, but only two daughters, and these two people were Jessea and Audrey.
In this world, women also have the right to inherit titles, but in comparison, men are more likely to inherit titles. Of course, some families are not excluded. On the contrary, women have an advantage in inheriting titles, such as the Bessemer family.
This is not the case for the Cumberland family. However, the Marquis of Cumberland does not have a son, so his title will most likely be inherited by Jessea, the eldest daughter.
Under such circumstances, if someone marries Jessea and joins the Cumberland family, then after Jessea inherits the title, he will definitely gain great power, and even indirectly control the Marquis of Cumberland family in this way. It's not impossible to have it in hand.
Such a woman of the right age who has the right to inherit the title of Marquis is obviously very attractive to the aristocratic children who do not have the right to inherit. Nelson Spike, who comes from the Marquis Spike family, is very likely to be such a nobleman. Children.
The other party should think that he also came with this purpose, so he showed hostility towards him.
"I just happened to pass by Cumberland City, and I didn't think about getting married or anything."
Nelson's "beating" made Gray very unhappy, but based on the principle that more is worse than less, he spoke up to explain a little.
She didn't come here for the purpose of marrying into the family, so there was no need to quarrel with a marquis family for this reason.
Nelson's marriage to the Cumberland family was probably due to the intention of the Spike family behind him. Although with his current strength, he was no longer afraid of the ordinary marquis family, he could not afford to provoke such a marquis family for this reason.
"Do you still want to hide it? If you didn't come here to marry into the Cumberland family, how could it be such a coincidence that you came to the Cumberland family at this time?"
Naturally, Nelson Spike didn't believe Gray's statement.
The other party came from the feudal Earl family, and the Marquis of Sidney family to which it belonged was severely damaged by the King of Killers. It existed in name only and could not give him the blessing he deserved.
Under such circumstances, how could the other party not be eager to gain control of the power of the Cumberland family through marriage, and use the power of the Cumberland family to protect their own family
Gray glanced at Nelson coldly and said no more. The other party had already determined that he was here for the purpose of getting married. No matter how he explained, the other party would not believe it.
And he didn't have to explain to the other party over and over again. The reason why he explained at first was just because he didn't want to easily antagonize the Spike family, but it didn't mean that he was afraid of the Spike family.
"Why, you've been exposed and you can't hide it anymore?"
Seeing Gray like this, Nelson strengthened his suspicion and the hostility in his eyes became stronger.
As the second son of the Marquis Spike family, he had an eldest brother who was as talented as him. He knew very early on that he had almost no chance of becoming a knight.
Knowing that the family wanted to control the Cumberland family by letting him marry into the family, he naturally agreed happily. Although he could not directly obtain the title, he could also gain great power by manipulating a marquis family like Cumberland behind the scenes.
Seeing that the other party was sinking deeper and deeper into fantasy, Gray was too lazy to pay attention and was about to leave. At this moment, a group of people came towards him.
Among them were sisters Jessea and Audrey, in addition to three others, a man, a woman and an old man.
Seeing the old man, Nielsen's eyes were the same, and he walked over and called the old man.
"Uncle Grandpa!"
The old man nodded and glanced at Gray inadvertently, with a hint of coldness deep in his eyes.
Allowing Nelson to marry into the Cumberland family is a huge plan of the Spike family. It must not be destroyed. Anyone who is prepared to destroy it or threatens it will be the enemy of the Spike family.
"Father, mother, this is the Gray who helped me as I mentioned to you before."
Jessea introduced.
"Thank you for what happened last time."
The man, the Marquis of Cumberland, thanked Gray.
"Uncle, you're welcome. We were cooperating and helping each other."
Gray said with a smile.
"That's what I said, but it's true that I helped Jessea and the others. If it weren't for your help, I might not have been able to see them. I still feel scared when I think about it now."
The woman, the Marquise of Cumberland, touched her breast slightly and said with a little fear.
Seeing that the Marquis of Cumberland and the Marquis of Cumberland had a very good impression of Gray, the old man from the Spike family next to him frowned slightly and asked.
"I wonder which family you come from?"
"Your Excellency Gray comes from the Fergus family and is a descendant of the Sidney family's feudal nobles."
Nelson had long wanted to tell whether Gray was a tetrarch, or a tetrarch of the Sidney family, which was now almost in name only. When he heard his uncle's question, he immediately said.
"The Sidney family? Oh, what a pity..."
The old man of the Spike family showed a slightly pityful look on his face. He seemed to feel sorry for what happened to the Sidney family, but he was completely relieved in his heart.
A descendant of a feudal nobleman, and a descendant of the virtually non-existent Sidney family, the Cumberland family would definitely not choose him as a candidate for marriage.
Although it is a marriage, equality of status must also be emphasized. Naturally, the Cumberland family also wants to obtain strong help through the marriage, so it will inevitably choose a child of a high-ranking noble rather than a child of a feudal noble.
Nelson also sneered in his heart. Knowing that Gray was a son of a feudal nobleman, the Cumberland family would definitely not consider Gray as their wife.
But what surprised the two of them was that when they heard that Gray was from the feudal noble Fergus family, the Marquis of Cumberland had a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then he became even more enthusiastic.
"Gray, are you used to living in the Cumberland family? If you need anything, just give the servant an order."
"Thank you, Marquis. I am already grateful to the Cumberland family for their hospitality."
Gray thanked.
"There is a quiet room in the backyard and a supporting training room. How about moving to the backyard to make it convenient for training?"
The Marquis of Cumberland said again.
"No, I'm preparing to say goodbye to you tomorrow."
Gray shook his head.
"How can this be done? You just arrived today, so you have to stay in the castle for at least a few more days."
Jessea stayed.
"That's right, you're not allowed to leave."
Audrey also frowned.
"Stay. If you leave like this, outsiders will laugh at the Cumberland family's lack of etiquette."
The Marquis of Cumberland joked with a smile.
In the end, after repeated attempts by everyone in Cumberland to stay, Gray had no choice but to agree to stay for a few more days.
Gray was talking and laughing with several members of the Cumberland family, while Nelson and an elder from the Spike family excused themselves and walked aside, their eyes full of gloom.
Suddenly, a nobleman who had a good relationship with Jessea appeared and was also very popular with several members of the Cumberland family, making them feel threatened.
"Damn it, this guy is a descendant of a feudal noble, a descendant of a feudal noble. Do all the Cumberland family members have brain problems, or did they not hear clearly?"
Nelson lowered his voice and said angrily.
"The problem must lie with the Fergus family. Let people investigate the Fergus family."
The old man had a gloomy face.
The banquet ended with the guests and hosts enjoying themselves, and the Cumberland family returned to the living room.
"Sir, is there anything unusual about this Gray Fergus?"
the woman asked.
As someone who has been with the Marquis of Cumberland for decades, he naturally noticed that the Marquis of Cumberland became overly enthusiastic after learning Gray's surname.
"Yes, father, what other identities does Gray have?"
Jessea also noticed her father's excessive enthusiasm and asked curiously.
"No, he has no other identity."
The Marquis of Cumberland shook his head.
"Then why you?"
The woman, Jessea, and Audrey all looked at him strangely.
"Do you know that the Warren family suffered a big loss more than 10 days ago?"
The Marquis of Cumberland asked instead without answering.
"I've heard of some, and I heard that it was done by one person."
Jessea said with a slight doubt, but the next moment, she looked surprised. She guessed the intention of the Marquis of Cumberland in asking, and looked at the Marquis of Cumberland in surprise and asked.
"Father, this person can't be... Gray, right?"
"Yes, that's him."
The Marquis of Cumberland said slightly solemnly.
The Cumberland family also participated in the birth of the King's Cemetery, but retreated before finally entering the tomb. Others did not know the specific identity of the person who attacked the Warren family, but the Cumberland family knew it, and even went out of their way to do so. Did some research.
"What, how is this possible? Could it be a mistake?"
Jessea and the other three all looked surprised.
How is it possible that Gray, who is only in his 20s, can cause the Marquis Wallen family to suffer a big loss
"There is no mistake. I have confirmed this news repeatedly."
The Marquis of Cumberland shook his head.
"Then his strength has reached that of a Barbarian Blood Warrior?"
Jessea had mixed feelings.
She has only just reached the level of a Berserker, but the other party has already become a Barbarian Blood Warrior, and at least. Otherwise, the Warren family would not suffer.
This obvious gap made her, who had been evaluated as having good talent since childhood, deeply feel the gap.
"Yes, and his blood beast ability has mutated, far beyond the same realm. Even I will probably not be his opponent..."
The Marquis of Cumberland sighed slightly at first, and then his eyes lit up.
"Because my clan uncle was injured, I really don't have much confidence in hunting the Red Flame Tiger this time, but if I can persuade him to help, I can definitely be sure..."
