[Chapter 239 Rejection of the Forrest Family]
Since Sean Forrest wrote a handwritten letter for his family, he has been staying in Winter Town. During
this period, Sean was very low-key, so low-key that David almost forgot that there was a fourth son of the Forrest family living in his territory.
Sean’s daily life is also very simple. He gets up every morning and goes directly to the hall to have breakfast.
Although the Winter Hotel is the most luxurious and high-end hotel in Winter Town, there is actually only one hotel in Winter Town. In addition, the price is still very affordable, and many people are used to the food in the Winter Hotel, so many people come here to eat every day.
As the owner of the hotel, Jonah often chats with guests in the hall, and these people are Sean’s “target”.
He will quietly approach, and then listen to these people chatting while eating, so that he can get to know the town better.
During this period, he was not undiscovered, but the residents of Winter Town, although not very enthusiastic about him, the former mayor of Frost Town, did not have any hostility.
Occasionally, he would chat with Sheen. After a long time, Sheen became familiar with some people and would smile and say hello when he saw them.
In the past, Sheen could never imagine that one day he would chat with a group of civilians.
But because of this, he got to know more about Winter Town.
Although he still didn’t know where those huge metal giants came from, and who provided those novel technical equipment in Winter Town?
But Sheen-Forrest had confirmed countless times that Winter Town was very powerful!
This strength was not only reflected in the soldiers of the Winter Knights who saw it at the beginning, but also in the construction speed of the entire town, the metal warships parked on the river, more and more soldiers being trained, and more and more metal giants. The
only thing he was worried about was that his letter did not get the attention of the family. In that case, he could only find a way to go back and convince his father in person that he must not continue to oppose Winter Town.
Not only can’t oppose, but even make friends!
What made Sean Forrester feel fortunate was that his elder brother, Wendell Forrester, who would definitely inherit the position of the Forrester family patriarch and the earldom, came to Winter Town with enough sincerity.
After carefully visiting this magical town with his younger brother, Wendell Forrester was sure that what his younger brother said in the letter was not exaggerated at all, and even reserved.
The power of Winter Town and Baron David Glamorgan was much more terrifying than what Sean mentioned in the letter and the information collected by the family from various channels.
Seeing this, Wendell already knew what he should do.
He directly chose the most important choice for David Glamorgan and the Forrester family among the several response plans formulated by the family before departure.
“Yes, my sister Candice Forrester will be sixteen years old next year, and she has received etiquette and cultural education since she was a child. She is top-notch in terms of knowledge and appearance, and can definitely become an excellent lord’s wife.”
After discussion, the Forrester family decided to marry Baron Glamorgan.
If you can’t eliminate him, then win him over to become one of your own!
The momentum of Baron Glamorgan’s rise is very obvious. While their family is discussing, the Winter Force has actually occupied half of the northern plains.
Although the population is a little small, this problem can be solved! The Forrest family is willing to help a little in this matter, provided that Baron Glamorgan can become a real one of their own!
What’s more, the Forrest family is not just throwing out a girl from a branch or a relative, but marrying the only daughter of Earl Percy Forrester, who is quite loved by the old Earl Forrester, which is enough to reflect the sincerity of the Forrester family.
Once Baron Glamorgan marries Candice as the wife of the Lord of Winter, the Forrester family will use all kinds of resources to help Baron Glamorgan increase the population of his territory, so that his territory will grow and develop as quickly as possible.
The strength of Baron Glamorgan’s territory will naturally bring more benefits to the Forrester family, and their family members will have another channel to obtain official positions and even noble titles.
Especially as Winter Town is developing rapidly, there is a shortage of people in various positions, and the children of the Forrester family can fight for these positions.
The Forrest family will not force Baron Glamorgan to help their people find a way out. It is only when the conditions of both parties are similar that Baron Glamorgan takes proper care of his own people.
In the eyes of the Forrest family, their proposal is a win-win situation. Baron Glamorgan will have a stronger and richer territory, and the Forrest family can continue to maintain its top noble status and even develop its power to the northern plains outside the Iron Tree Castle.
Therefore, the Forrest family thinks that Baron David Glamorgan will most likely agree to their proposal. However, for the sake of safety, it is Wendell Forrest who comes this time, not the head of the clan, Earl Percy Forrest.
If the old Earl Forrest comes in person to propose a marriage to David, there will be no room for maneuver.
It would be fine if he agreed. If David refuses, the two sides may become enemies, and a good thing may turn into a bad thing.
Wendel would not have such trouble if he came. He would first express his intention and find out David’s personal thoughts and attitudes. As long as David agreed, the old Earl of Forrest would come forward to finalize the marriage.
If David disagreed, both parties could pretend that nothing had happened. After all, Wendel was ostensibly here to pick up his brother Sean Forrest.
Fortunately, the Forrest family maintained their usual style of doing things, so when the confident Wendel heard David say “rejection”, he did not behave too badly.
“Ah… this…”
After sorting out his emotions and calming down, Wendel glanced at Helen who was pouring tea for David, and thought about the secretary Eva he had seen at the door when he came in.
In addition to Laura Crawford, who was mentioned in the intelligence information and had a close relationship with David Glamorgan Baron; and Sharon Rogers, who accompanied David to the capital.
It is obvious that the private life of this baron is quite wonderful, and David Glamorgan Baron obviously does not want to ruin his wonderful life because of a marriage.
Since the other party was unwilling, Wendel had to skip the topic and did not say anything like “Even if the marriage is formed, you can continue such a wonderful life.” There are some things he can’t say, even if it is the truth! What’s
more, this matter involves his beloved sister!
He suddenly felt that maybe David’s refusal to marry his sister might be a good thing for Candice.
Anyway, Candice has no shortage of suitors, including many outstanding noble children. Wendel simply discussed other cooperation matters with David.
Can’t marry, but can also form an alliance! Even if it is just a verbal covenant, at least it can ease the current slightly tense relationship between the two sides.
At the same time, Wendel also brought the ransom and reward according to the “custom”, thanking Baron Glamorgan for his previous rescue of Frost Town and his brother.
“In addition to the contract farmers and craftsmen who originally belonged to Frost Town, the Forrest family will send another 300 young and strong people to Winter Town next spring.” Winter
Town is short of people, and the Forrest family chose to send people to David. These people were recruited from Iron Tree Castle, as well as from nearby towns and villages. Anyway, it is easy to find people with healthy limbs, suitable age and poor. With the reputation and resources of the Forrest family, it is easy to recruit people.
In addition, there are ores, cloth, silk rolls and other things, including magic silk, monster skin, refined gold, mithril and other special materials.
David accepted these things very straightforwardly, and after accepting these rewards, the two sides had no more topics to talk about.
Wendell said goodbye to David at the right time, packed up his things in the shortest time, and left Winter Town with Sean Forrest.
He wanted to go back to Iron Tree Castle to report the whole situation to the family, so he rejected his brother Sean Forrest’s request to stay in Winter Town.
“I need you to go back and tell my father all the information you know!” Wendell stayed in Winter Town for too short a time, and he certainly didn’t know as much as Sean.
The information Sean knew would determine what the Forrest family should do next?
As for the marriage… Wendell didn’t think David’s refusal was a problem at this time. If the relationship between the two families became closer, maybe there would be a turning point?
But when Wendell returned to Irontree Castle with his brother and guards, he knew that the Forrest family and the Glamorgan family could not marry.
Because the Forrest family learned through some information channels that the current King was considering marrying Princess Sophia to the Lord of Winter.
“Marry the princess to that Baron of Glamorgan?”
Wendell and Sheen were shocked when they heard the news. Wendell did not expect that His Majesty the King valued the Lord of Winter so much.
Sheen thought of the young man who was about the same age as him and was just a commoner a few years ago. Now he was about to be promoted to Earl and could even marry the King’s daughter.
Thinking that he looked down on the other party in the past, he felt that he was a joke.
The person being discussed and lamented by the Forrest family was now lamenting about another thing: “Didn’t they say that the Blizzard Armor has been finalized? How come there is an upgraded version?”
“Finalized? Are you insulting me?” Tony Stark pointed to a set of Blizzard Armor next to him: “This thing doesn’t even have a built-in constant temperature system. It can only be regarded as a test model, not a qualified finished product at all!”
“So…”
“This set is the real Blizzard power armor.”
