Overseas, there is an island country called the Kingdom of Sauron.
This country's naval strength far exceeds that of the mainland countries. Fortunately, they are currently in civil strife and do not pose a threat to the mainland countries.
However, when they end the civil war, they will inevitably turn their greedy eyes to the vast land.
Compared to the Claire Empire, which has been in existence for thousands of years, and the powerful Goblin Chamber of Commerce Alliance, the recently established Phoenix Kingdom is obviously a softer persimmon.
If the Kingdom of Phoenix breaks away from the Empire, the outcome will definitely not be good.
So Matthew took the kingdom and stayed in the empire's system.
No one can say what will happen in the future, but now this is the best solution, there is no one.
Bourne can understand Matthew's choice, but he is still a little worried about Matthew's insistence on marrying several wives.
Matthew, this kid, is he forgetful because he has been so successful recently?
As an elder, he should advise Matthew; as a minister, he should resolutely carry out orders.The conflicted Marquis of Bourne was happy for his daughter and at the same time a little troubled.
He couldn't go to Matthew directly, so he had to find his daughter and ask for clarification.Aishanya did not tell him any more news, but just reassured her father not to think too much.
His daughter has always been prudent in doing things. Although the Marquis of Bourne was tormented by curiosity, he no longer worried about it and went to prepare for the wedding with peace of mind.
In the midst of all the hustle and bustle, a carriage with a seemingly ordinary interior but extremely gorgeous interior drove into the castle in Rundebel.
Dawson family patriarch D'Alembert is here.
D'Alembert Dawson was sitting in the carriage, and opposite him sat a young girl with outstanding temperament.
The girl was wearing an elegant white dress, just slightly dressed up without much decoration.
Mr. D'Alembert looked at the girl sitting opposite and said with a smile: "Milan, we are finally here."
The girl known as Milan had a very calm expression. She looked at the ancient castle with a history of thousands of years and asked thoughtfully: "Are you really planning to do this?"
"Yes, this is the result of my careful consideration."
D'Alembert said calmly: "Matthew and I agreed that the daughter of our family would marry him. But many people don't know that the real daughter of our family is not you, but..."
His voice stopped suddenly and he did not continue.
Looking at D'Alembert with a bit of ridicule, Milan's words were a bit more playful.
"I don't have any objection, but it's hard to say whether Andre will have any objection."
Chapter 201 Andrenee
Hearing this name, D'Alembert's expression was obviously ugly.
He hummed softly and raised his voice to correct Milan's mistake.
"There is no Andre, there is only Andrenee! She can lie to herself for a day or two, or even ten or eight years, but can she lie to herself for a lifetime?"
"If she is really Andre, she can get the girls who look up to her pregnant. Can she do it?"
Milan didn't expect Dalembert to be so determined this time. After being silent for a long time, he said softly: "There are many reasons why sister Andrenee is like this..."
"enough!"
D'Alembert rudely interrupted Milan's nonsense and snorted.
"Don't talk about the past anymore!"
"She is the daughter of the family. She enjoys the family's favorable conditions and naturally has to pay for the interests of the family."
"What's more, letting her marry Matthew is not a sacrifice. Matthew gets along very well with her, and his strength is worthy of Andrenee. They will definitely live happily in the future."
Milan does not deny this.
Matthew's strength and potential are even higher than Andrenee's.
Being able to have her always arrogant sister praise him repeatedly shows how much Matthew holds in her heart.
If Andreni is not Andrei, but an ordinary girl, this is indeed a political marriage that can be transformed into love, which is also rare.
However, she is not Andrenee, but Andre.
Let her change into a top and skirt and pretend to be a girl to get married. The scene would be so weird that Milan couldn't even imagine it.
Thinking of his father's plan, Milan couldn't help but want to complain.
My father is good at everything, but he likes to scheme too much.In his eyes, everyone and everything in this world has a price.
I just don’t know if my father also marked the price for himself.
Just as Milan was deep in thought, the carriage drove into the castle, and she saw Matthew dressed neatly at the door to greet him.
Matthew was dressed in casual clothes and looked less like a king and more like a traveling nobleman.
Milan looked at Matthew's calm expression with a hint of smile and nodded appreciatively.
The Dawson family is Matthew's partner and marriage partner.
D'Alembert came to the door in person, and Mathieu naturally wanted to welcome him.But Matthew's identity is the king, and M. d'Alembert is his vassal. It is somewhat inappropriate for the king to come out to greet the vassal.
Between welcoming and not welcoming, Matthew chose to welcome.
The Dawson family provided help without reservation during his most difficult time and placed a heavy bet on Matthew.
When Matthew launched an attack on the Kingdom of Perth, the Dawson family clearly stood on Matthew's side and their stance was very firm.
If Matthew puts on airs when he becomes king, it will chill everyone's heart.
So Matthew must greet him, but not as a king.So he came out in casual clothes.
Since Matthew is marrying Mr. Dawson's daughter, Dawson is his father-in-law.
It is natural for a son-in-law to come out to greet his father-in-law.
Seeing Matthew's clothes, D'Alembert naturally understood what Matthew was thinking.
He had always admired this young man, and this time was no exception.
It was obvious that the temporary victory did not let Matthew go to his head. He remained calm and low-key, and did not get carried away.
Mr. Dawson has seen many talented young people, but Mr. Dawson has not seen many people with such a temperament around the age of 20.
He ordered the carriage to stop before Matthew came up to greet him, and then quickly got out of the car.
Matthew's greeting was polite. It would have been too much if he had just sat in the car and walked straight to the door, waiting for Matthew to lift the curtain for him.
Face is given to each other, face is lost by oneself.
Matthew gave the Dawson family face in order to let Mr. Dawson know that the investment was not in vain, and he was not really trying to offend them.
Matthew did a very decent job, and D'Alembert Dawson dealt with it very politely.
In political activities, every detail has profound meaning. You can't say things carelessly, do things carelessly, and you can't eat food carelessly.
Thanks to the joint efforts of Mathieu and d'Alembert, the atmosphere of this meeting was very good.
Under the watchful eyes of his entourage, Mathieu enthusiastically invited Mr. d'Alembert to enter the castle and come to the small living room on the upper floor.
This is where Matthew and the contractors enjoy a chicken dinner together, and rarely receives outsiders.
Receiving D'Alembert here shows that Matthew does not regard the Dawson family as outsiders.
D'Alembert was in a good mood, and his smile kept hanging on his lips until he saw Aisanya waiting in the small living room.
Although he had never seen her before, the Dawson family's intelligence system was well developed and they had already brought Aisanya's portrait to D'Alembert.
Of course he knew that this girl was Aishanya.
Matthew's fiancée, daughter of the Bourne family.
The Bourne family had previously chosen to break off the engagement, but Matthew disagreed and personally went to where the Blazing Witch was to welcome his fiancée back.
He knows all these things.
He also knew that Matthew could only choose one of the two marriage contracts between the Dawson family and the Bourne family.
Neither Aisanya nor Andrenee could be a mistress, and the missionary scope of the Holy See was strictly monogamous and polygamous, so Matthew could only choose one of the two.
Matthew wrote a personal letter inviting him to come to discuss the wedding, allowing D'Alembert to acquiesce that the Dawson family was the winning group.Although Aishanya will marry into the family together, the queen must be Andrenee.
He comes with the joy of a victor.
Since they are the victors, how come Aishania appears here?
Could it be that this guy Matthew has other ideas?
D'Alembert's expression suddenly turned dark. He wanted to ask Matthew what was going on, but there were many people present in the banquet hall, so he couldn't ask.
Even if some issues are discussed in private, even if there is a quarrel, it is a normal negotiation. However, once it is announced in public, it is another matter.
If Kalainen's previous questioning of Shirley had been carried out in private, it would certainly not have been so serious that it would have cost lives.
If d'Alembert raises questions here, he is completely breaking up and preparing to use the favor of investing in Matthew to force Matthew to make a choice.
Who is Matthew?
That was a ruthless character who dared to destroy a kingdom with 10,000+ people, and he was also the one who granted miracles by the Lord of Holy Light.
千:??寻'小?;;.说,:资!源!?群,2;""!5:!:5';:5"9:5,3:!0'.0 和马修玩横的,道森家族明显不行。
The Dawson family is rich and powerful, but their background is not good. They are not from a noble family, they are just common people.
They are at the lower end of the political contempt chain.
If Matthew hadn't given them the title of Duke, they still wouldn't have integrated into mainstream society.
This is a win-win transaction. Both parties owe each other nothing, and there will be broader space for cooperation in the future. Therefore, as long as one party does not go too far in the execution of the engagement, everyone can negotiate.
Matthew can't break the contract, and neither can the Dawson family.
Of course, if the Dawson family really takes the initiative to cancel the engagement, Matthew will definitely not mind.
The old fox and Matthew tested each other, talking about current affairs and politics from all over the world, but they didn't talk about serious matters.
While both parties' time is valuable, they seem to have a lot of time to waste.
When Mathieu poured the third cup of tea for D'Alembert, he picked up the tea cup and remained silent.
It's almost enough to test what should be tested. It would be too much if we don't talk about the business anymore.
D'Alembert was an elder and a guest, so it was logical that he should speak. But at this moment, D'Alembert obviously had no intention of getting into the topic, so the well-meaning Mathieu naturally took the initiative to break the deadlock.
He coughed lightly, put down the teacup, and looked at D'Alembert with soft eyes without any avoidance.
"Uncle d'Alembert, Andre must have mentioned something about the engagement, right? Although it is slightly different from the original content of the engagement, this is the result of changes in the situation, and it is not something I want to change on my own initiative."
Matthew said with a bit of self-mockery: "The Clare Empire is a mess, and the Himilun family has shown enough sincerity, so I temporarily decided to give up the fight for the throne of the Clare Empire."
"I don't have time to discuss this matter with you in advance, so please forgive me."
D'Alembert was a little flattered by Matthew's explanation.
He sat upright, put down the tea cup, and said seriously: "Matthew, although we are partners, all actions are based on you. Since it is your decision, it is our joint decision."
"You are right. The Claire Empire's political system is rigid and not advanced even a thousand years ago. It is a miracle that they can last for 1000 years."
"We really don't have to accept this mess."
Seeing that D'Alembert was reasonable, Matthew could finally let go.
The worst thing about businessmen is that they only care about profits, but the good thing is that they only care about profits.
Just show the Dawson family more benefits to get them to switch.
Matthew nodded and changed the subject.
"Uncle d'Alembert, I plan to ask you to serve as the cabinet minister of the kingdom. You will be mainly responsible for trade and finance. You will enjoy prime minister-level treatment and be directly responsible to me. I wonder if you are willing to submit?"
D'Alembert was stunned and hesitated for a moment.The Marquis of Bourne has already served as the Prime Minister of the Kingdom. If asking him to serve as Finance Minister is tantamount to being Bourne's subordinate, he will definitely not be willing to do so.
But the position given by Matthew was at the same level as Bourne, but with less division of labor. Basically, it was still the same level.
This appointment is enough to show the importance Matthew attaches to him.
He was in charge of the finances, and together with Andre, who was the general, his political importance in the kingdom was even greater than that of Bourne, the prime minister.This also means that his importance in Matthew's heart is still higher than that of Earl Bourne.
Matthew's sincerity has reached the point where it would be inappropriate to refuse directly.
He hesitated for a few seconds and said tentatively: "Matthew, I have to be responsible for all the affairs of the family. If you don't mind, I want Allen to be my cabinet minister."
"Since uncle is busy, it's better to let Allen come. I heard that you have gradually delegated power to him over the years. He is already the de facto controller of the Dawson family. I am very confident in his ability, as long as uncle is willing to do it."
