Adry celebrated Blood Moon's victory with singing and laughter. There was also a grand celebration party in the capital of Oger. Next to Adry, in Duke Tari's Saidesane, there was also a scene of singing and dancing.
With delicious food, fine wine, singing and dancing, warriors and nobles celebrated the victory of the Blood Moon with great joy.
In the seating area belonging to Count Philip, Abel Philip looked at the man next to him who seemed to be drunk and slumped over the table, and smiled a triumphant smile.
Hahahaha, now that my eldest brother is dead, my father’s earldom will be his!
"Brother, brother?" Abel pushed him with concern.
"Hmm?" Rex Feeley raised his body with a slight sound of doubt, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the strange man in front of him in confusion and shock.
Isn't he dead?!
Confused: Who am I? Where am I? What happened?
The pretended expression of brotherly love and respect collapsed in an instant, and Abel's eyes widened in shock, his face full of disbelief.
What’s going on?!
Why didn't Rex die?
The poison he bought from the mysterious pharmacist for 10 gold coins could kill people silently!
He clearly put all the poison water into Rex's wine, so why is Rex still alive!?
Could it be... this isn't poison at all!
Abel cursed in his heart: Damn, what a liar! He cheated him out of his gold coins!
…
In the Adri Castle, the banquet finally ended without any unexpected incidents, and Lin Xiaoman felt relieved.
Now that both of them are cuckolded, she is really afraid that her stupid brother will be pushed back to the position of cannon fodder male supporting role.
However, by this time, their King Daniel III of Oger must have died, right?
Who cares!
All she had to do was survive the next five years of blood moons and she could retire with honor.
The greater the plot changes, the safer she felt. Lin Xiaoman, who had eliminated many plot characters, was in a good mood. Then, at breakfast the next day, the Duchess suddenly asked, "Amy, you should have met Zolman. What do you think of him?"
Lin Xiaoman, who was still drinking milk, almost vomited. Damn it, this was a bad feeling!
"Well, I don't think he's that good. He looks like a bad guy." Afraid that he would be associated with Zolman, Lin Xiaoman frowned and looked very disgusted.
"How could that be? How does Zolman look like a bad guy?" Ange was the first to speak up, speaking up for Zolman. "Amy, did you get the wrong person? It's Zolman from the Kappa family. He's a very powerful magician."
"Yes, Amy, Zolman is a magician. Colin said that his strength is that of a high-level magician, the same as Ange." The Duke spoke with admiration in his words, and his expression was completely praising someone else's child. "But in the Blood Moon War, Zolman was much more powerful than Ange."
"No way, Dad, I was bravely killing monsters!!" Ang muttered dissatisfiedly.
"I didn't see it!" The Duke glared at him. As a magician, he ran into a group of soldiers to kill monsters. How could he see it with so many soldiers?
"Dad, you didn't have this attitude yesterday, why are you praising him so much today?" It was over, Lin Xiaoman felt that he was going to be in trouble.
The Duchess explained, "Because at the banquet yesterday, Zolman's mother and I talked for a while. Her family hopes that Zolman can marry you, Amy. Zolman himself also expressed that he likes you very much."
"Yes, I think this is a good idea. As long as I emphasize Zolman's contributions in the Blood Moon War in the letter to Your Majesty, he can be promoted from Viscount to Earl, or even Marquis. We can help Zolman gain power in the Kappa family. Then you and Zolman will get married, and their Kappa family will be the most steadfast ally of our Laurent family." The Duke nodded, obviously thinking that this was a great idea.
Lin Xiaoman: ...
This fire really burned me, I was determined not to...
"Master, the original owner has something to say."
Just as he was about to start a conversation to brainwash the Duke and Duchess, Tongzi suddenly appeared.
So, the original owner thought it was feasible?
"What did the original owner want to say?"
"The original owner said that it was acceptable. The original owner wanted to protect Adre. The marriage between the Laurent family and the Kappa family would be beneficial to the stability of Adre."
'Okay, I get it.'
Lin Xiaoman sighed inwardly, but he still had to take the original owner's meaning into consideration.
In the original owner's opinion, the Kappa family is powerful and Zolman is capable, making them very suitable marriage partners.
There is no such thing as love. Marriage is about being well-matched.
In Oger, the highest sincerity in the union of the two families is for the head of one family to swear allegiance to the head of the other family.
Half of the minor noble families in Adre have sworn allegiance to Duke Laurent.
In addition to loyalty, another way for families to form alliances is through marriage. Marriage between two families represents an absolute relationship of trust. Unless the blood ties between the leaders of the two families have faded over time, families will almost never betray the intermarried family.
After all, the people here are relatively simple and honest, and they value strength more and don't have so many conspiracies and intrigues.
"Well, Dad, what you said makes sense." Lin Xiaoman nodded hesitantly, as if convinced, and then added, "But I'm still too young. I want to spend more time with my parents and brother. I want to get married after I turn 20. Is that okay?"
"Of course. Amy, you can get engaged first and try to get along with each other. If you feel it is not suitable, you don't have to get married." The Duchess smiled, obviously taking her daughter's preferences into consideration.
