Chapter 278 He accepted even though he suffered some losses!
"What conditions?"
Brand was a little surprised when he heard Mr. Cecil said that they had preserved the development process of the Wind King's incarnation intact.
However, Brand frowned a little when he heard Mr. Cecil said there were conditions.
Originally, he was prepared to use black rhinoceros armor fragments or knight golems in exchange, but he did not expect that Lord Cecil had other plans.
"Don't worry, it's not a troublesome thing for you."
Looking at Brand in front of him, Mr. Cecil showed a smile on his face.
Then, he told Brand about his eldest daughter Janice.
Although this matter is a bit embarrassing for the Cecil family.
But it has actually spread within a small area, so there is no need to keep it secret.
And not to mention that the Holland family is their ally, they will need Brand's help later.
Therefore, it is very necessary to inform Brand about the matter.
In the Kaya Empire, marriages between nobles and commoners were not unheard of.
But if there is nothing particularly eye-catching on the civilian side, this kind of thing will only happen to the lowest nobles at most.
If the legitimate daughter of a middle-class noble like Janice Cecil wants to marry a commoner, then the commoner must be outstanding enough.
Otherwise, it would normally be impossible.
Of course, there are two special situations.
The first type is that some noble families have special regulations and will promise not to interfere in the marriage of the descendants after they meet certain conditions.
For example, in the Romine family, after Chris Romine defeated Count Romine in the magic chess game.
The Romine family used a contract to promise that she would be free to marry.
The second option is to run away from the family, leave the Kaya Empire with your sweetheart, and elope!
"After what happened, Janice and I quarreled many times, and we even wanted to run out and elope with that kid at one point. In order to prevent this from happening, she is still under house arrest in the castle by me." Listening to what happened in
Cesi It tells the story of the Er family, like a biographical novel, about the true story of a noble daughter falling in love with a commoner boy.
Both Brand and Mr. Holland, who was watching from the sidelines, showed interest.
When he heard this, Brand asked curiously:
"Who is the man that Ms. Janice likes? What does he do now?"
Mr. Cecil said:
"His name is Campbell Beloso. He is now 33 years old, with average talent. He became a senior knight not long ago and is now a member of the Imperial Legion. "
Senior knight?
The strength of the senior knight should be good, right?
The next level is the Great Knight.
And he's from the Imperial Legion.
If he is lucky, he may be able to obtain enough contributions and meritorious service in this pioneering war, and thus enter the aristocratic class.
The high knight and the noble status are barely equal to that of Ms. Janice!
Seemingly aware of Brand's thoughts, Mr. Cecil added:
"Janice is my daughter after all. Since she likes that guy named Campbell, I will naturally not be completely unkind.
So I and I They agreed that as long as Campbell becomes the Grand Knight, even if he does not hold any title, I will not continue to interfere in their marriage." Before the words finished, before
Brand could say anything, Mr. Holland shook his head. Said:
"How can it be so easy to reach the level of a great knight?
There are countless formal knights in the entire Kaya Empire, but there are only about a hundred true great knights.
To become a great knight, reaching the end of the formal knighthood is just a threshold requirement. .
After that, perfect inheritance, sufficient resources, and superb talents, no matter if any of them are missing, the difficulty of becoming a great knight will skyrocket! For a senior knight of the Imperial Legion who was born as a commoner, the inheritance is barely considered a chance, but the
resources I don’t know how long it will take to save, and the talent is obviously not enough.
You know, the older you get, the less likely you are to become a great knight after your condition declines.
So instead of expecting him to become a great knight, it is better to expect him to open up the war You can earn enough war contributions and meritorious service to enter the aristocratic class!"
After hearing the words of Mr. Holland, Brand realized that it was extremely difficult for a senior knight to become a grand knight.
For civilians with average talents and lack of resources, the possibility of success is extremely low!
At this time, faced with the words of Mr. Holland, Mr. Cecil responded:
"If he wants to marry Janice as a noble, after the pioneering war, he must at least reach the level of a middle-level noble in the empire like ours now. Okay, in comparison, I still think it is easier for him to become a great knight."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Holland unconsciously showed a meaningful smile.
——If you want to become a middle-class noble, if there is no special opportunity, it usually requires several generations of hard work.
So Mr. Cecil actually doesn’t want Janice to marry that Campbell!
What I said before about "not being unkind" was just a casual comment!
Although he already understood what Mr. Cecil meant, Mr. Holland did not raise any objection.
This kind of thing is actually the same on his side. A commoner with nothing outstanding wants to marry the legitimate daughter of a middle-class noble?
Go ahead and dream! ! !
On Brand's side, after hearing this, he probably understood the cause and effect.
But this matter didn't seem to have anything to do with him.
Wait until Brand asks this question.
Mr. Cecil explained: "It's like this. Janice has been under house arrest by me for a long time, but it's not a problem to keep her locked up like this all the time. I just wanted to let her out and find something for her to do." Do it."
After saying this, Brand still looked confused.
Mr. Cecil further said:
"Don't you have a mage force under your command? I want Janice to join your command.
Of course, I also asked her to sign various contracts that should be signed, and also handed over various matters to her. She does it without any distinction.
My only request is that before Campbell becomes the Grand Knight, they are not allowed to meet or have any contact.
If this happens, you must stop it in time. "
Hearing this, Brand immediately understood what Mr. Cecil was paying attention to.
——This is to let him break up Janice and Campbell!
After thinking briefly, Brand frowned and said,
"Although I have no objection to Ms. Janice joining the library, and the library is indeed eager for a talented mage like her, but what about her own wishes? I can't put her under house arrest in the library. Right?"
In this regard, Mr. Cecil promised:
"If Janice doesn't want to join the library and wants to continue to be under house arrest in the castle, I naturally have no objection.
But after being locked up for so long, I think she should Accept my offer.
To be on the safe side, I will require her to sign a contract to serve the library and obey your reasonable orders, and then let her out."
Although Mr. Cecil said this, Brand still had some doubts. Frowning:
"But if you want me to prevent the two of them from meeting, I can't send someone to guard Ms. Janice every day. Even
if there is a contract, Ms. Janice will obey my reasonable instructions, but Mr. Campbell's behavior I can't restrict it.
He is a senior knight and a member of the Imperial Legion. If he makes some irrational actions, he may cause a lot of trouble to me or the library." Hearing
Brand's words After speaking, Mr. Cecil waved his hand and said,
"If there is really any trouble that you can't solve, the Chesil family will not sit idly by."
"But..."
Although Brand wanted to say something else, Chesil family wanted to say something else. Mr. Cecil interrupted with a look of displeasure:
"I'll add more money!"
"Okay!"
Mr. Cecil had already reached this point, and Brand had no choice but to accept his offer. condition.
Let’s not talk about what the other party had in mind. Let’s look at this matter from his side:
he obtained the research and development process of the incarnation of the Wind King.
The library under his command acquired an extremely talented mid-level mage.
In addition, Mr. Cecil is also prepared to add money.
The only bad thing is that you need to deal with possible trouble from a senior knight of the Imperial Legion.
From this point of view, although he has a "small loss".
But after all, it was the request of the ally family, and he accepted it even if he suffered a little loss!
