After everyone sat down, Dolay had a full view of everyone and could see everyone's expressions at a glance.
He doesn't need to curry favor with anyone now. He just needs to deal with his father-in-law. As for his mother-in-law, haha, she has been liking him as a son-in-law more and more.
After Westling sat down, he coughed and the hall fell silent.
He opened his mouth slowly and said, "There are two main reasons why I have gathered everyone here today. The first is that I invited Dolai to our house for the first gathering. The second is that I want to ask these two people what exactly this means. If possible, today can be considered an engagement party. What do you think, Dolai?" He looked at Ash again and winked at him.
Ashe naturally knew what her father was thinking. She had to grab such an outstanding man quickly.
She looked at Dolai with sparkling eyes.
Duolai was somewhat stunned. Wasn't this a natural thing? Was there still a need to announce it?
He pretended to be overly cautious, looked at Ashe, sighed in his heart, then made up his mind and spoke slowly, "According to custom, I need to take the initiative to visit you. Now, this is not in accordance with the rules."
As the man, he announced publicly that he was coming to propose marriage, which was the right thing to do. But now that someone has actively called him home to ask about it, it feels weird.
Everyone looked at each other, wondering why their old father was so anxious to marry Ashe off.
Especially Ivy, he just realized now that it was not Dolai who came to visit today on his own initiative, but was invited by his father.
This is too cheap. If this gets out, where will the Rhine family put their face?
He stood up and was about to object. He said, "My sister is so outstanding, and I don't agree to give her away so hastily. What Duolai said is right. At least pick a good day and take the initiative to propose marriage."
Just as he was about to stand up, Westling next to him sensed what his eldest son was thinking, and immediately turned around and stared at him.
Ivy saw his father's gaze and his knees weakened again after he stood up. He said awkwardly, "Dad, according to the rules, if Dolai wants to marry my sister, he has to come and ask for marriage openly. Although I have no objection, I can't let everyone laugh at me."
The Third Aunt was already dissatisfied with Dolai, and when she heard the eldest brother speak, she immediately said with great joy, "That's right, our Ashe is a beauty, and she is also top-notch in terms of ability. People would like to have her in their hands, but you are taking the initiative to try to get her. This is really embarrassing for our family."
Westlin's face darkened, and he thought, "You know nothing." He said helplessly, "There are some things that I can't explain to you. In a few days, we will all be busy and may not even have time to meet, so it's just right to talk about this today."
Hearing this, everyone was a little stunned. What big thing was going to happen? How come there was no chance for them to even meet?
However, since Westling had spoken, they did not dare to argue.
Ivy did know some things, but not everything. He only knew that the two major military headquarters in the northwest would take action, and that it would last for quite a long time, but he was still unclear about what the action would be, and it was still top secret.
The old father explained, but the look in his eyes was like murderous stare at him. Ivy didn't dare to speak immediately. He just sat there obediently, not moving at all.
If he dared to speak again, it would be a problem whether he could still stay after Dolai left. He didn't want to be carried back to the barracks and be laughed at to death by those subordinates.
Dad’s authority cannot be challenged.
As expected, although Westling seemed to be explaining, he was actually showing off his power, and the Third Aunt didn't dare to say anything.
Seeing this, Dolai thought the same thing. He took a deep breath, then slowly stood up and said, "In that case, then!" He turned his head and looked at Ai Xi, and said with deep affection, "I came here today to formally ask for marriage from my father-in-law and mother-in-law. I beg you to grant my wish."
He bowed deeply and was about to kneel down.
Westling stood up quickly and said, "Don't kneel, don't kneel, Ashe, hold him back."
Ashe hurriedly grabbed Dole and stopped him from kneeling.
Dolai was bewildered, and the people around him were also bewildered. What was going on? Even kneeling was not necessary?
Westlin hurriedly explained, "Although you are not level seven now, you are still a level seven fighter, which represents a part of the rules. If you kneel down, all of us will lose our lives."
Next to Westling, the eldest and third aunts' faces suddenly changed when they heard this. They stood up and hid to the side.
Shortening your life, what a joke, you can't lack anything but life.
Duolai touched the back of his head. Is it that serious? His current identity is just a son-in-law. What does it have to do with strength?
Westling said anxiously, "Dole, don't kneel down to anyone unless they can bear it."
Dolai asked doubtfully, "Father-in-law, you can't handle this status?"
Westling saw that Dole was not bothered by this, so he smiled and said, "Your mother-in-law and I can bear it, but the other two can't."
Dolai smiled bitterly and said, "Do you agree or disagree?"
Westlin smiled and exchanged a glance with Laura beside him, "Of course I agree. As long as you two are happy, our opinions are not important."
After a while of chaos, everyone sat back in their chairs.
Ai was looking at Duolai, feeling a thrill in his heart. His relationship with Duolai was finally settled. He no longer had to worry about being in fear or being gossiped about. His face was now beaming with joy.
She stood up generously, picked up the wine glass on the table, bowed respectfully to her parents, and said, "Thank you, Mom and Dad, for your support."
Seeing this, Duolai also picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you, father-in-law and mother-in-law for your help."
Westling laughed and said, "What are you talking about? With your future achievements, it won't be considered marrying down if our Ashe marries you. Instead, it will be marrying up, future lord."
He picked up the wine glass and drank it all with Laura beside him.
This matter is considered accomplished here.
The children around looked at each other in bewilderment. Future lord, what big thing had happened? How did Dolai become the lord?
A lord can be big or small. If he is big, he can be said to be on the same level as Watsonburg. If he is small, he is also the lord of a city.
But they didn't dare ask more.
Ivy finally understood a little bit at this time, but under his old father's contempt, he dared not ask or say anything.
Well, let’s not ask anymore.
He has heard so much about Dolai that his ears are callused. Today, it was revealed that there is a level 7 golden corpse standing behind him, plus two wizard towers. Who dares to underestimate him? This kid has now grown into a figure comparable to a large family. Whoever marries his daughter to him is equivalent to getting the support of a large force. No matter how you look at it, it is a good deal and more real than the Langte family.
In the family, Ophir and others all mentioned Dole in front of him, and all of them spoke well of him.
