All the contract girls want to marry me

She felt like a frog being targeted by a poisonous snake, a chill seeping out of her heart.

She forced a smile and whispered: "Mr. Selius, if you have any questions, please tell me."

"I want to know, what is Matthew's attitude towards traitors?"

Lena was a little surprised. She thought for a moment and said softly: "I don't know very well. I haven't even heard of anyone betraying Matthew."

"I do not believe."

The man in black nodded and spoke calmly.

As long as there are interests, there will be loyalty and betrayal.Even in the face of gods, there are still traitors. No matter how good Matthew is to his subordinates, there is no guarantee that no one will betray him.

千!;寻,:小!说".:"资'"源.,群?2!!5:.:5?.;"5?;;,9.;5.";3;,0??0　　就在全场逐渐嘈杂时，一个沙哑的声音响起。

The voice comes from Fiat Duke.

The Duke controls a mercenary agency and two intelligence agencies, and is also one of the investment shareholders of the Adventurer's Guild.He didn't say a word since entering the conference room. This was the first time he spoke.

"Miss Lena, have you forgotten one thing? Shirley from the Angel Corps was once Matthew's contractor, and she and Matthew received the gift from the Lord of Holy Light. However, she was killed by Matthew. .”

Duke Fiat's intelligence network spans the continent and reaches out to various countries. He is very well-informed.

As soon as he reminded her, Lena suddenly realized.

She said with some embarrassment: "Sorry, I subconsciously excluded the contractor."

"If you count the contractors, he has killed four traitors in total. His methods were quite fierce."

Lena told Matthew about executing all the contractors who wanted to backstab him.

After this addition, no one had any more problems.

Lena's statement gave everyone a new understanding of Matthew.

Although Matthew is a bit harsh, he doesn't seem to be an unreasonable person.

Is he willing to forgive them for what they've done?

From Lena's description, no one was sure.

The nobles hesitated. They believed that Matthew was willing to take care of the overall situation, but Matthew seemed to be a little ruthless when faced with matters involving vital interests.

Whether they are forgiven or not is a [-]-[-] split.

While everyone was discussing anxiously, an earl stood up.

He took a deep breath, as if he had made the most important decision, and said loudly: "Let me go first!"

The nobles were stunned.

The Earl of Leicester who spoke had killed several imperial generals on the battlefield, and his hands were stained with the blood of the imperial army.

If he can get Matthew's forgiveness, what do others have to worry about?

It’s just that everyone didn’t expect the Earl of Leicester to be so brave.

Duke BYD said in a deep voice: "Earl of Leicester, you can go with peace of mind. If you encounter misfortune, I am willing to adopt your son as an adopted son and let him inherit a county."

BYD's words were meant to protect the Earl of Leicester.

He just went to test it out, and if something happened, someone would help him find out.

The nobles instantly understood the thoughts of Earl Leicester and Duke BYD.

They all promised the Earl of Leicester that they would treat his family well.

The meeting ended quickly, and the Northern Nobles Alliance made its final decision.

The Earl of Leicester went to Matthew's station as quickly as possible and surrendered with the most sincere attitude.

If Matthew can accept and appease the earl, and the others will naturally be safe, then everyone does not need to hesitate and vote together.

If Matthew brutally punishes the Earl of Leicester, then everyone will have to make new plans.

......

Three days later, the Imperial Army's Black Forest Camp.

Matthew received nobles from all over the camp.

Three southern nobles came today. Although their titles were not high, their attitudes were very upright. Matthew accepted them enthusiastically and accommodated them.

There is room for them in Matthew's future plans.

The productivity of this era can only adapt to the feudal system. In a world of high demons with strong people, mobilizing the people has little meaning.

Three years after coming into this world, Matthew has long recognized this.

He is too lazy to change the direction of the world. As long as humans continue to exist, they will naturally find a way out for themselves. There is no need for him, an understanding brother, to point fingers.

What he needs to do more is to control his own destiny and survive in this crisis-ridden world.

He knows a lot, has seen a lot, and knows that the gods who are not completely dead are trying to survive.

If they were allowed to resurrect, I'm afraid Matthew's fate would not be too good.

If he wants to live, he has to find a way to kill these guys who are still hanging around even though they have already retreated.

In short, if Matthew wants to survive, the enemies he faces are not ordinary strong humans.

It doesn't matter to him whether he wants to be the emperor or not. What he needs more is resources and high-quality contractors.

Only by becoming stronger can you survive in this bad world.

Under the control of this guiding ideology, Matthew naturally would not care about anything with the nobles of the Kingdom of Perth.

In any case, the scope of the struggle cannot be expanded. Except for the Perth royal family, which must pay the price for invading the empire, everyone else is a target for establishing a united front.

But he has killed so many people in the past six months that many people dare not trust him at all.

He was also a little worried about what would happen if not many nobles came to the conference in a few days.

We can't just kill all the old nobles in the kingdom.

Killing is a pleasure, but the aftermath is a real crematorium.What Matthew needs is a stable political situation. No matter how high the level of governance is, at least it cannot hold him back.

He needs someone very much, someone who everyone agrees will not be forgiven.

As long as he forgives this person, what else can others do?

It's just that it's really hard to find this candidate, so you can only choose among the northern nobles.These days Matthew is trying to find ways to contact the northern nobles, hoping that someone can cooperate with him to complete this performance.

While he was waiting for news, the adjutant reported a strange news to him.

The Earl of Leicester has arrived.

Matthew was stunned for a full three seconds before he regained his composure.

"Are you talking about the Earl of Leicester who fought to the end on the battlefield?"

"Yes."

"Oh, it's great that he's here! Please come in, Lord Earl!" Matthew beamed and clapped his hands happily.

Seeing that Matthew was actually happy because of Leicester's arrival, the adjutant said in a loud voice: "Your Excellency, because Earl Leicester is an enemy, he was tied up by the camp captain as soon as he arrived at the camp."

Matthew: "..."

He didn't know whether to praise the camp captain for his loyalty to his duties or to scold him for not having any political acumen.

Although he was speechless, he had no intention of holding the camp captain responsible.

This guy may not be very smart, but he is very resolute in executing orders, so it can't be said that he did anything wrong.

If you guard the gate carefully, you will be severely punished. Who can you expect to guard the camp gate in the future?

Matthew turned around faster than turning the page in a book, and his gloomy face just now was instantly replaced by a sunny smile.

"Where is the Earl of Leicester now? I want to see him myself."

Seeing that Matthew was not angry because the Earl of Leicester was captured, the adjutant breathed a sigh of relief and told Matthew the location where the Earl was being held.

Matthew put on a military uniform and happily went to find the Earl of Leicester.

Because there was no special prison in the camp, the unfortunate guy was locked in a stable.

Seeing the embarrassed Earl of Leicester tied to the stake, Matthew wanted to laugh, but he still held back.

The Earl of Leicester is a typical man from the Kingdom of Perth. He is not particularly tall, but has a strong body and wide eyes. He is a fierce general at first sight.

Matthew strolled up to the Earl of Leicester and said with a smile: "How are you doing, Lord Earl?"

Earl Leicester lowered his head and looked at the ropes tied up, and smiled to himself: "If my hands and feet were not tied, it would be fine."

Matthew didn't expect that this guy could laugh now, but he felt a little more fond of him.

Smiling, he drew his dagger and approached the Earl of Leicester.

Earl Leicester looked at Matthew, and his heart beat inexplicably faster.

Although he was very confident that Matthew would use him to win people's hearts instead of killing him directly, when he saw Matthew walking over with a dagger in his hand, his mood instantly fell to the bottom.

Zhuo, did he guess wrong?

The Earl of Leicester is also a tough guy. Although he was a little timid when he saw Matthew's dagger, he soon felt relieved.

He has killed more than hundreds of people in his life.

In the Battle of Groningen alone, he killed more than [-] imperial soldiers.

It makes perfect sense to kill those who kill.

He closed his eyes, snorted coldly, threw a spittle to the ground, and said fiercely: "If you want to kill, just kill. If you snort, I will lose!"

Matthew didn't expect Lester to be so tough, so he liked him even more.

Holding a dagger in his hand, he approached Earl Leicester and said with a half-smile: "I believe you are not afraid of death, but what about your family? Can they bear the pain of losing you?"

Earl Leicester did not open his eyes, but just snorted angrily.

"Nonsense, wouldn't your wife and children be sad if you died?"

He just wanted to anger Matthew so that he could die more happily, but he didn't expect that Matthew actually answered his question.

"Of course it will be painful."

Lester slowly opened his eyes, his expression full of astonishment.

He was a little confused as to what Matthew wanted to do. Was he just having fun with him?

He hesitated, a little unsure whether to continue to anger Matthew.Although he is a tough guy, he is not a reckless man. If there is a chance to live, who would be willing to die?

Matthew looked at Lester's uncertain expression and asked seriously: "Earl Leicester, if you have to kneel down and surrender to me to survive, are you willing?"

Lester glanced at Matthew and felt that Matthew was not joking with him.

Without even a second of hesitation, he knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "I, the former Earl of Leicester of the Kingdom of Perth, am willing to surrender to the Duke of Groningen in the Clare Empire and serve the Duke."

I didn't expect that the Earl of Leicester was so single, but he couldn't fix it.

No, why don't you follow the routine?

At any rate, hold on for a while, and it won't be too late for everyone to push back and forth a few times before surrendering.

Matthew looked at Earl Leicester speechlessly, thoughtfully.

What the count did was quite in line with the conventions of this era.The king can no longer protect his country, how can he expect the nobles to help him protect his country?

Don't be ridiculous, the nobles value the interests of the family more than the interests of the country.

If the Kingdom of Perth fails, they will naturally find a suitable home instead of being buried with the king.

It was easy to get the Earl of Leicester to serve, but it was impossible to get him to be unconditionally loyal.

After understanding this in an instant, Matthew was relieved.

How many people can truly be unconditionally loyal?

In addition to the contractors who made a soul contract with him, there are several civil and military officials under his command who will never leave him when he is down.

Matthew suddenly thought of someone.

Andre, he...probably can.At least, he would not give Matthew a blow with his backhand.

He is too proud to do such a villainous thing.

It's a pity that Andre is rare in this world, but Leicester is everywhere.
