"Your Highness, no, you can't do this, I firmly oppose your decision!" Fatty Shi jumped up.
Fatty Shi was holding a lot of documents for Lorist to look over and sign. After putting down the documents, he went to the wine cabinet to get a bottle of fruit wine and opened it. As soon as he sat down, he heard Lorist say that he had made A decision, immediately jumped up in shock and loudly expressed opposition.
Because Lorist said that he decided to get married and married Princess Sylvia, and asked Fatty Shi to be in charge of preparing a grand wedding ceremony, which was set in half a year. Lorist estimated that it would take half a year for Sylvia to heal the wound in her heart, and her body would recover and she would not be as thin as she is now. But I didn't expect that the first person to reveal his decision to Fatty Shi would be opposed.
"Why? Didn't you all agree with it before?" Lorist was a little annoyed.
"Your Highness, from time to time, the Feisabrun family is our enemy now. I believe that Princess Silvia's character is enough to become the duchess of the Norton family, but she bears the surname of Feisabrun after all. We There is no way to accept this." Fatty Shi explained.
Lorist shook his head and said, "This is my private matter. I won't marry anyone other than her. As for whether you accept it or not, that's none of my business. I've already decided to do as I say."
"No!" Fatty Shi was in a hurry: "It's selfless! Your Highness, you not only represent yourself, you also represent the entire Norton family, the more than 1.6 million citizens of the entire Northland, and us. These loyal family knights! You must consider the reputation of the entire Norton family!"
"Hehe, really? So I represent so many things, why don't I know? Have you asked others if they would like to be represented by me?" Lorist pulled his face down: "Don't tell me it's up to you if I get married and have a wife?" Do these loyal family knights agree? If you oppose me, you can’t be with the one you love? What do you think of me? A puppet in the front? Everything is at your mercy, right... "
"Uh..." Fatty Shi finally realized that he said something wrong because he was in a hurry: "Your Highness, you understand that I just said something wrong, and it didn't mean what you said at all. No one dares to treat you as a puppet, you are worthy of the name Grand Duke of the Northland, this is a fact that everyone admits. What I object to is your decision to marry Princess Silvia. We agreed before because the Feisabrun family is not our enemy. Princess Livia's marriage will add a strong support to our family.
Now the Feisabrun family has not only become the enemy of our family, but also suffered such a big loss at our hands, and has become the mortal enemy of our Norton family. The most important thing is that the Feisabrun family has become the defeat of our family's armed forces, and we are suppressed in their family territory. Our soldiers are mocking and ridiculing them, no one takes them seriously anymore, and we are even preparing to take revenge for the defeat of the Chasseurs in Muyeyuan Province... At such a moment, you decide to marry Feisabrun Is it really appropriate for Princess Sylvia of the family to be his wife
Your Highness, think about the rumors circulating in the family territory that you launched an army to attack the Feisabrun family because the Grand Duke Feisabrun rejected your marriage proposal to Princess Silvia, and Ken Mai The Duke of Si joked that the armed forces of the three families were the enemies of the Grand Duke Feisabrun because they wanted to steal your wife for you. If you marry Princess Sylvia now, these rumors will be confirmed. What do you make the relatives of the martyrs who died in the family think? Did their relatives die heroically for you to marry your wife
After Princess Sylvia became the Duchess of our Norton family, how would you ask our family knights and soldiers to treat the Feisabrun family? Do you treat it like family? If the Fisabrun family's armed forces attack us again, I doubt that our soldiers will not know whether to take up arms and fight back. Your Highness, the rash decision you are making now will upset the family. I believe that no one in the family will support this decision you made. "
"No one is as stupid as you said, who doesn't know how to resist when the enemy is in front of him..." Lorist said angrily: "Even if I marry Sylvia as my wife, so what, the Feisabrun family The fact that they are our enemies has not changed."
Well, Fatty Shi's stern words are indeed reasonable, and this is something that Lorist has never considered. As the head of the powerful Northland No. 1 family, he really had to take these influences into consideration. But Lorist has made up his mind and doesn't want to change his mind. He must give Princess Sylvia, who loves him deeply, a support and a perfect home.
"You don't know, Grand Duke Fesabrunn asked Sylvia to come to our family as an envoy. Didn’t bring it, just her two personal maids, and there are other people who are going to negotiate, do you understand what this means? The old man is humiliating our love, so I have to give Sylvia an explanation, I want Marry her." Lorist insisted.
"Day, this old man is so vicious..." Fatty Shi suddenly realized, no wonder Lorist was so insisting on marrying Sylvia. Fatty Shi recalled an incident when he was a child. A batch of puppet toys came into the grocery store on the street at home. Among them, a clown puppet with a long nose was colorful and beautiful, and the price was the most expensive. Fatty Shi wanted this clown puppet very much, so he begged his father to buy it for him. His father said that Fatty Shi needed to save money to buy it so that he could earn money for the family.
At that time, Fatty Shi, who was less than ten years old, was saving money coin by coin in order to buy this clown puppet. Time passed day by day, and when Fatty Shi finally saved enough money to buy it, he found that the owner of the grocery store was having a big sale. It was said that he was going back to his hometown and would not open a store. Seeing Fatty Xiao Shi coming over, the shopkeeper smiled and said he still wanted to buy that clown puppet? It's nothing to give you, it's not worth much anyway, so let's treat it as a parting gift.
That was the thing that impressed Fatty Shi the most. The things he had been thinking about day and night, but in the eyes of others, were like nothing. Seeing the clown puppet thrown to him by the shopkeeper indifferently, Fatty Shi felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart. When he got home he threw the clown puppet into a corner and never played with it again.
The situation Lorist encountered now was similar to when he was a child, even more uncomfortable. The Grand Duke Fesabrun gave Princess Sylvia as a gift to Lorist. On the surface, he bowed his head to the Norton family. Look, didn’t you start the war because of her? Anyway, the rumors say so, then we The Feisabrun family gave up and sent her to you, please let our family go. But in fact, Grand Duke Fessabrun didn't consider the feelings of the two parties at all, or as Lorist said, he was humiliating them both. Don't you want to be together? Well, you don't need to propose marriage anymore, and you don't need to pay such a big price. I will give you Princess Sylvia. Life and death are up to you. Are you satisfied with being together now
"Your Highness, if this is the case, then you can stay together first, and we will hold a wedding for you after a few years when things are almost calm. You don't need to invite too many people, and try to minimize the impact. Do you think this will work?" ? Anyway, you can make Princess Sylvia the mistress of the Norton family right now, but it’s just temporarily unknown.” Fatty Shi thought for a while and made a suggestion. In his opinion, this is the best so far. Solution.
"No..." Lorist rejected the suggestion straight away: "I can't let Sylvia live with me like this. How is this different from letting her be my concubine? I know you are thinking of the family , but Baron Shredder, have you considered Sylvia's feelings in her heart? Being abandoned by her family has already made her very painful. If I treat her like that, she will really become a gift to be sent out. I must Give her a grand wedding, so that she will not disappoint her love for me.
At the same time, I will slap that old dude Feysabrun in the face fiercely. Do you really think I will treat Sylvia as a slave girl? I will let Sylvia be my bride, the mistress of the Norton family, and the duchess of the Grand Duke of the Northland. Make everyone envy her, and make the Feisabrun family regret what they have done. I believe Sylvia, after becoming my bride, she will forget the surname Feisabrun, and will only be proud of the great surname Norton in the future... "
"But, but, Your Highness, then how should we come up with a way to explain to our family's armed soldiers..."
"It doesn't matter, this is very simple, I will express my gratitude to all the soldiers armed by our family, thank them for their heroic fighting and finally forced the Feisabrun family to bow their heads, and offered Princess Sylvia, so that our lover will finally die Be married, thanks to the great victories won by our soldiers..."
Lorist took the initiative to confirm the rumors that he sent troops to destroy the Kingdom of Iberia for the sake of Princess Sylvia, and attacked the Fisabrun family. He changed from being passive to being active. In this way, the two families competed for hegemony in the Northeast. The purpose is concealed behind this legendary excuse, and believe that gossip lovers will prefer to spread this war story for love.
"Our family soldiers will be proud of this legendary excuse. When they are old, they can sit at the wine table triumphantly and brag to their children and grandchildren. Back then, we helped the Duke of the North to rob his wife and put The Feisabrun family was defeated and defeated. In the end, they had to hand over the beautiful Princess Sylvia, so that she and the Grand Duke of the Northland could finally become husband and wife. The family has become a villain, hahaha, this is a good idea."
"By the way, our family has occupied the Golden Ridge Gold Mine and seized gold products worth more than two million gold dollars. I think we can use this gold to cast a batch of gold medals as a commemoration, engraved with Sylvia and I The names of the two people, engraved with the words "lover will get married", and then issued commemorative medals to all soldiers who participated in the Iberian Kingdom Raiders, whether it is our Norton family or the family soldiers of the three allies, as long as they participated I will issue one to all who have passed, so I believe that no soldier will complain about helping me rob my wife to fight."
Lorist proudly rested his feet on the desk, applauding the statement he came up with.
"Your Highness, isn't this a bit too shameless..." Fatty Shi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Those who achieve great things don't care about small things." Lorist replied lazily. He put his feet on the desk and leaned back on the chair, feeling sleepy. That's right, I sat by the bedside with Sylvia last night, so it's normal to feel sleepy.
"Baron Shredder, I'll leave it to you to prepare for the wedding, and then give me a budget list and wedding regulations. There is still half a year left, and it's scheduled for around November. Don't forget the list of guests. Lorist thought for a while, and there was nothing to forget: "I want this to be a grand wedding, do you understand? If you have nothing to do, go down first, I'll squint..."
"Hey, wait a minute, I'm here on business. You have to sign so many documents, and you're waiting to use them. In the end, I was dragged by you for a long time for the wedding... Shihuade, get His Highness a basin of cold water to wash his face Let him wake up, Schwarder, Schwarder, where is he?" Fatty Shi called for a long time but no one answered.
"Stop shouting, he's not here, he should have gone to Beihai City to pick up his junior brother." Lorist recalled what he said to Schwader last night: "Also, Baron Schrader, the wedding I'm talking about is not a wedding." Talking nonsense to you, that's business."
"Understood, I will take care of it for you, so don't worry. Sign these documents first, touch your face first, and I'll ask someone to bring you a basin of water." Fatty Shi went out and asked the guards to make a basin Come over with cold water.
"What do you mean that Schwader went to Beihai City to pick up the junior brother?" After a while, Schrader came over with a basin of cold water to wash Lorist's face.
"Have you forgotten what I said before about taking Sembawood's eldest son as a disciple? Now that kid is sixteen and has awakened his fighting spirit, Sembawood wrote to me to remind me not to forget the past. Promise, I will let Shi Huade go to Beihai City to pick up his eldest son, and I will be a servant by my side in the future to see if it can be brought up." Lorist dipped his entire face in the cold water of the washbasin, and drove away Get sleepy and wake yourself up.
"I heard you mention it once before, isn't Sembawood's eldest son the stupid big man who is always by his side?" Still have a little impression.
"Yes." Lorist picked up the stack of documents brought by Fatty Shi on the table and asked, "What are these important things, such a big stack?"
"It is the relevant documents for the reorganization and expansion of the Guards Corps. This is the establishment and allocation of armaments, as well as the logistics and supplies of the station. You need to sign and sign before they can be arranged. The other four Guards Corps commanders also need to be designated by you..."
This time the Guards Corps will be changed into four regiments, four battalions form a regiment, and four regiments form a regiment. Each regiment has a full staff of 48,000 people. The newly recruited guards will come from the former Madras There are more than 100,000 prisoners of war in the principality. These prisoners of war have served more than two years of hard labor and have become the main labor force in the construction of water conservancy and transportation facilities in Dremke Province. They will be free by the end of the year. According to the Norton family's armed tradition, it is most used to recruit soldiers from the labor force of these prisoners of war who are about to be free.
"How about this, call Baron Farea and Baron Belunec back and let them take charge of the reorganization of the Guards Corps, and you should take care of the preparations for the wedding first." Lorist said while signing.
"Okay, as you wish, Your Highness." Fatty Shi spread his hands helplessly and shrugged.
