Rise of the Lord of Mount and Blade

“Come, let us toast our battle hero Richard!”

In the Gabe Manor that night, the Vareen family gathered together and sat in the rectangular At the table.

In addition to the oldest Mrs. Old Earl, there are three members of Basilio’s family, Richard and his younger sister. They originally invited the little nobleman Walter to participate, but Walter felt This was a family dinner for his boss, he was not suitable for attending, so he didn’t come.

The adults drank their drinks, and the young woman sitting beside Basilio smiled and asked, “Richard, did you meet a girl in Valantia?”

“Ah this…” Richard was speechless, he scratched his head, and involuntarily thought of Duke Olsson’s only daughter Teresa, but he was quickly dispelled from his mind. , That is the daughter of the Duke, he knows very well in his heart.

Seeing Richard’s appearance, Basario’s wife Agatha and her husband who talked looked at each other and chuckled. They are all people who have gone through this stage. They just saw it. Come out of Richard’s inner thoughts.

“It seems to be there, who is that girl?” Agatha asked with a smile, and everyone next to her stopped eating, pricking her ears to hear Richard’s answer.

Richard sighed helplessly, chose to lie, and said: “No, most of the time in Valantia is spent in combat. The woman I met was either a rude peasant woman or a heretic. Eyes.”

After he finished speaking, the rest of the people suddenly lost interest. Although Agatha was still a little unbelievable about Richard’s words, she didn’t want to answer, so she didn’t continue to ask questions.

After the meal, Richard was entangled by Basilio’s son. This little boy, who had just turned two years old, laughed and stretched out his hand to Richard and grabbed him. Agatha, who was holding him, didn’t stop him. It was watching the interaction between the two uncles and nephews with a smile. While watching, she suddenly heard Richard’s inquiry.

“Sister-in-law, how did you meet Basilio back then?”

Agatha was taken aback for a moment, glanced at Richard who was still teasing the child, and confirmed her in her heart. The speculation at the dinner table just replied: “If I remember correctly, I met Basilio at a banquet hosted by the Duke of Barcelona. At that time, he was just seventeen years old. I They are only fourteen years old.”

“Then you guys have known each other for a long time.” Richard calculated that Basilio is 24 years old this year, and they have known each other for seven years.

“Yes, if it weren’t for the boys in the Count of Pau, I don’t think I would have any intersection with him.” Speaking of this, Agatha’s gaze floated involuntarily. Basilio, who was teasing Pamela not far away, had tender eyes in his eyes, and said: “If I tell you, don’t tell him. In fact, when I first saw him, I thought he was very handsome and very human. He is tall and looks very safe.”

“He does have a sense of security. At the banquet, the boys from the Earl of Pau’s house surrounded me and wanted to bully me. After seeing your big brother, I brought a few of his friends over and drove them away, and then I got to talk to him and got acquainted with each other slowly.”

Richard thought to himself, how does this plot develop like some novels? In the plot, the heroine is being bullied, and the hero dropping from the sky rescuing the heroine like Heavenly God descends to the world, and eventually develops into a lover… If this kind of plot is reversed, it is that the heroine deliberately set up the situation. Let yourself fall into a crisis, arouse the intervention of a man with a sense of justice, and create an opportunity for hero saving the beauty. The two will eventually achieve a positive result.

Wonderful.

Agatha didn’t know what Richard was thinking, she was still immersed in her own memories, and said: “…you should know the next development. After he reaches adulthood, your father I asked my father for marriage, and then we made a marriage contract.”

It is worth mentioning that Agatha’s father is also the vassal of the Duke of Barcelona, ​​Count Turard. , The relationship between the two families has always been good, so after Old Earl proposed the marriage, they soon got the consent of Agatha’s father, and the two became relatives and allies.

The family that Richard’s old mother wants to invite naturally also includes Agatha’s mother’s family.

Seeing that Richard was lost in thought, Agatha tentatively touched him after the story, and asked: “Richard, are you in trouble?”

Gasha touched Richard spirit slowly recovers a few times. He looked at his sister-in-law’s concerned gaze, shook the head, and said: “I’ll tell you the truth, I did meet a girl who looked good, but I know very well, We are impossible.”

“Oh? Who is it?” Agatha asked curiously.

“Is the only daughter of the Duke of Lelis.” Richard sighed, “No surprise, she is the next Duke of Valantia duchy, and I am only a viscount, although it is possible to be promoted to the earl, but I don’t think anything will happen between us.”

In this backward and savage era, it is very difficult to meet a beautiful woman who is close to the eye. If it is an ordinary person, Richard will definitely try For a moment, the other party is the heir of Duchy. Although Duke Olsson had introduced Richard to Teresa, the two had contacted several times, but Richard still had no confidence at all.

It’s not Richard’s inferiority complex either. It’s really that the nobles of this era are too particular about the family. Don’t look at Basilio and Agatha when they finally came together. If one of them is not from an earl’s family, Then the success rate is definitely less than half.

It’s not uncommon for a female nobleman to marry a low-level nobleman, but this kind of marriage is basically a matriarchal marriage, that is, the child of the two lives must follow the mother’s surname. Richard will definitely not accept this kind of marriage. ——Not only is the traditional Chinese concept of his previous life deeply rooted in his bones, but also in this era, the status of men who enter into marriages is very low.

Agatha was also lost in thought. Although she was willing to help her husband’s younger brother find a wife, the other party’s situation seemed very difficult, and she seemed to be unable to help.

At this moment, Basilio, who had played enough with Pamela, came over. He saw his wife and younger brother were silent, and asked suspiciously: “What’s the matter with you two? Why does it seem to be preoccupied.”

Agatha just wanted to talk about Richard’s problem with her husband, but before she said it, she glanced at Richard. The latter had no objection, so she will repeat it. Again.

Learning that Richard actually fell in love with the only daughter of a Duke, Basilio was also surprised and delighted. He quickly asked Richard to tell how he met Teresa again. Richard also He did so. After he finished speaking, Basilio looked complicated. He looked at Richard’s young and handsome face and was silent for a long time before speaking.
