Just as Martin was about to leave the room, Earl Merlin suddenly called him and motioned him to stay. He smiled and said, "What we are going to discuss soon has something to do with you, little Martin."
As she spoke, she winked playfully at Martin. Her charming look made Martin feel a little uncomfortable for a moment, and he quickly looked away.
Martin had no choice but to sit aside and prepare to be a loyal spectator.
I thought that the earls and marquises would be discussing extremely profound and complicated matters, but unexpectedly, the content of their conversation was no different from that of ordinary people discussing business. In just a few words, the interests were divided.
Then, everyone's eyes fell on Earl Merlin.
The corners of Earl Merlin's mouth curled up slightly, and he smiled softly. He looked at Martin and threw out a surprising topic: "Little Martin, do you want to have three fiancées at once?"
Martin shook his head instinctively without even thinking. What a joke! Marrying into such a monstrous family, how could married life be happy?
Even if he had the system's help, he would likely be hampered in every way after marriage. After all, working under the noses of these large families could easily reveal his true identity if he wasn't careful, not to mention marrying into three families at once.
Seeing Martin's immediate refusal, Earl White quickly took over the conversation to smooth things over: "Earl Merlin, Martin is still too young. His older brothers and sisters are not married yet. Let's talk about this in a few years."
However, Earl Merlin seemed not to hear what Earl White said, and his eyes were still fixed on Martin.
He then changed the subject and said coldly, "Little Martin, where did you get all that combat power? Do you think the higher-ups won't want to find out? Do you really think you can rely on those golden knights around you to be fearless and withstand anything?"
Count Carlos on the side also echoed: "Yes, Martin, you now have the ability to protect yourself, but you are still too slow to start."
"Compared to those at the top, you're still far behind." Marquis Roderick nodded in agreement. "They're absolutely right. Your only way to truly protect yourself and everything you possess is through marriage."
Earl White suddenly realized at this moment that these people came to him and said that they wanted to share some of the profits with him. He thought that they came because of Karen's wedding, but he didn't expect that the real intention was not to come for Martin.
Martin was also completely confused. He never expected that the high-ranking officials of the Kingdom of Charlemagne had always been concerned about the source of his combat power, but they had not found it out yet.
Fortunately, I had been prepared beforehand and trained everyone around me to be my die-hard fans. Otherwise, they would have found out everything about me and no secrets would have been hidden.
Martin looked straight at Earl Merlin with a serious expression and asked, "Is it just a marriage? Are there any other hidden conditions?"
Earl Merlin waved his hand and said firmly, "There are no other conditions. Marrying into our three families is the only requirement."
Martin couldn't help but feel puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "You went to so much trouble just to form a marriage alliance with the White family?"
At this moment, Marquis Roderick leaned forward and patiently explained, "That's right, Martin. In this world, everyone has their own secrets. The reason some nobles have been able to prosper and endure for so long isn't simply because they plunder wealth and power, but because they understand the importance of forming alliances."
"Our three families don't care where your fighting power comes from. What matters to us is that as long as you, Martin, become the son-in-law of our three families, we will have a close connection with each other."
Following Marquis Roderick's words, Earl Merlin took out a scroll from his space ring, handed it to Martin, and said with a smile: "Martin, this is the detailed information of your three fiancées."
Martin took the scroll and unfolded it. It contained all the information about the three girls, including their appearance and figures. From these meticulous descriptions, it was clear that the three families had indeed put a lot of thought into their selection.
Martin looked at the scroll in his hand, his brows furrowed slightly, still full of confusion. "To be honest, I still don't understand why you insist on marrying me. I'm not narcissistic enough to think I'm so charming that you families would go to such great lengths."
Earl Merlin leaned forward slightly, looking at Martin with an honest gaze, and said slowly, "Perhaps it was the incident with the Frost Zero Plains mineral vein, and the sudden appearance of those golden knights under your command, that made me, or rather my family, believe that you are a man who knows how to judge the situation and advance and retreat."
"Marrying someone like this will only benefit the family's long-term development. When you grow up, you will be a hundred times more beneficial to the Merlin family."
"Marquis Roderick and Count Carlos also had the same idea. Take Marquis Roderick for example. He was even more impatient and married his daughter to Karen early on."
Martin listened quietly and thought to himself, no matter whether what they said was true or false, one thing was certain - he had already entered the sight of these bigwigs.
In terms of strategy, Martin knew that he was no match for these shrewd family leaders. It seemed that he could only rely on the system and his absolute strength to deal with everything.
Thinking of this, Martin turned his gaze to Earl White. Earl White met Martin's gaze and nodded slightly, as if giving him some kind of affirmation and support.
Martin took a deep breath, turned to face the three families, and said in a straightforward tone: "Okay, I agree to the marriage. I believe the specific time has been discussed before you came, so just tell me directly."
Seeing Martin agree so readily, Earl Merlin smiled and said, "I really can't hide anything from you, little Martin."
"Then we will hold the wedding with the Merlin family in June next year, with the Roderick family in July, and with the Carlos family in August."
When Martin heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, and he said helplessly: "Do you have to arrange it so tightly?"
Earl Merlin waved his hand nonchalantly and said with a smile, "Don't worry, little Martin. There won't be any problems between our families."
Martin groaned in his heart. This naturally had no impact on your families, but for him, the arrangement was too tight.
Fortunately, one of his fiancées is Reina, whom he knows and has a good impression of. This is the only consolation in this news.
