Chapter 756 God Will Not Allow Me to Cause Miss to Lose Her Honor 49
Terrence didn't get the result he wanted, and his first thought was of Cruise, his father.
Cruise didn't particularly like his only child; if he weren't infertile, he wouldn't have wanted to acknowledge the child at all.
Terence: "Father, Miss Agatha is a suitable marriage partner, but the Marquis John will not allow me to see her."
At this point, he glanced at Cruise's unpleasant expression and then added fuel to the fire, "Marquis John doesn't take you seriously. He said the Carlisle family needs the Antonia family to maintain their foothold on the Nabesgen continent!"
Cruz's sharp gaze swept Terence up from head to toe. "John really said that?"
Terrence: "I heard it with my own ears!"
Cruise's face darkened immediately, and he called out sternly, "Terrence."
Terence felt a pang of panic. "Father."
Cruise said in a cold voice, "It's one thing for you to wear women's clothing and make the Carlisle family a laughing stock, but I never expected that you would dare to lie so many times and slander Marquis John!"
"The Marquis John is reserved and cautious in his actions, and he would never leave any fatal flaws."
"Terrence, what exactly did you do to Agatha?"
"With your status, you couldn't even arrange a single marriage with a woman who would be interested in a union with our family!"
They simply did not trust Terence with the future of the Carlisle family.
It would be better to let Terence get married sooner, have children, and then cultivate a new heir.
Terence exclaimed in disbelief, "Father! You don't believe me!"
Cruise scoffed, "Before you were even born, I was already serving the royal family alongside John."
"He is a partner I can trust."
“However…” he suddenly changed the subject, “the situation is not as good as before, John is eyeing the ducal throne with covetous intent…”
"I will meet with him in person in the next couple of days."
"However, I would prefer that you are interested in either Phineas or Laura."
The Marquis John's eldest and second daughters were more capable.
A couple cannot be entirely useless.
Moreover, Agatha Christie's identity was never even acknowledged.
Terence thought Agatha was better, so he wanted to choose Agatha.
Ideally, the engagement should be finalized as soon as the Knights Tournament ends.
That seemingly strong knight must be suffering because of this.
...
As he had expected, Denai was eliminated the next day and left the palace that night.
Colin no longer employs the roundabout tactics he used before; he now adheres to the principle of quick and decisive action each time.
His combat talent and adaptability during battles made his performance particularly outstanding.
Edward greatly admired this and looked forward to his battles every day.
The Marquess of John was frequently mentioned for this reason.
For those in positions of power, the stronger a knight is, the better. However, for the other squires from various lords' households, Colin's strength evoked a sense of awe rather than envy.
If someone's strength far surpasses others, they won't feel jealousy at all.
Knights have always revered martial prowess.
Time flies, and half a month has passed since Colin participated in the competition.
After rounds of selection, only five remained to compete for the final sword.
Because Song Jinhuan's identity was not reported to the royal family, her status as the daughter of a marquis was not recognized.
Strictly speaking, Colin could not be considered a personal attendant.
The night before the sword fight, Colin wrote in a letter hoping to see her in the VIP section.
Song Jinhuan was troubled by this.
Marquis John: "Once he obtains the sword, you will be qualified to enter the palace."
