Chapter 143 The cousin with the engagement contract

"Manage my territory, work hard to gain military exploits, and improve my title level." Weilin held the bowl and smiled at Krel.

Claire drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp and said slightly drunkenly: "You have a clear goal."

"Naturally, since I have chosen this path, I must go on, even if it is not for me, then for those who follow me." Verin shrugged and replied to Krell.

"Responsible." Krell praised without hesitation, "When I return to the Brazilian League camp, I will introduce you to a friend of mine, my lifelong best friend."

"I am looking forward."

The two raised their bowls to clink glasses, and then drank the wine in one gulp.

Gradually, the sky darkened, and two of Krell's followers helped him return to his camp.

With Kyle's support, Verin lay on the bed and fell asleep.

Looking at the mess in the camp, Kyle took a deep breath, packed it up gently, then extinguished the oil lamp and exited the camp.

At noon the next day, Weilin stood up with his head in his hands and said to himself: "Next time, I will never drink so much with Claire."

"My Lord, a messenger from Lord Alcott is visiting." Kyle opened the curtain and reported to Verinhui.

"Let him in."

Weilin sat up from the bed and pushed his hair back from his eyes, revealing his handsome face.

"Lord Weilin, my lord invites you to go to his camp tonight to attend a private banquet." The messenger entered the camp, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully with his head lowered.

"I understand. Tell my cousin that I will be there." Weilin looked at the messenger and said to him.

"Yes, please excuse me."

The messenger stood up, bowed his head and exited the tent.

He stood on the bed and started to be in a daze, then rubbed his face and started to wash up.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Weilin wore a black dress and took Kyle to his cousin's camp.

At this moment, an open-air venue in the middle of the camp has been deployed. Many nobles have arrived, gathering in twos and threes to chat.

Verin was among a group of people and soon found his cousin Brian, talking to a young noble.

"cousin."

Brian turned his head and found Verin, and then introduced him enthusiastically: "Cassius, this is my cousin Verin."

"Hello, Verin, my full name is Cassius Lowick. I often hear Brian talking about you. If you don't mind, you can call me Cassius."

Verin put his left hand on his chest, bent forward slightly, and said with a smile: "Nice to meet you, Cassius."

"Okay, Cassius and Verin, you guys have gotten to know each other, let's go and sit next to each other and chat."

Brian put his left and right hands on their shoulders and walked towards the round table next to them.

After some conversation, Verin gradually understood some basic information about Cassius.

I just didn't expect that as the eldest son of Viscount Muncas Lowick, commander of the Sixth Army, he would directly participate in this dangerous war.

"Weilin, after this war is over, I will get married." Brian said with some melancholy.

"That's a good thing! Cousin, why are you so depressed?" Verin looked at Brian's face, pushed his shoulders and said with a smile.

"What a heck, my mother must not be able to bear with me living a happy life, so she specially found a woman who is stronger than me to get married. I only received the news recently. Three months ago, my mother asked the family to send out the marriage certificate. ”

Cassius comforted him from the side: "Be at ease, Brian. As the third daughter of Count Miledo, she will definitely be good. I don't even think it is possible to have this opportunity."

"Cousin, this matter cannot be changed. Just accept it with peace of mind."

Verin could only sympathize with his cousin's plight.

Kalida Akers, Brian's mother, is his father's cousin, and the source is his grandfather's biological sister.

As a small branch of the main line, this branch is basically dominated by my great-aunt Marpel Akers.

Mapel Ax’s husband is named Dokorn. He is an adventurer with a commoner background. He is a life and death comrade she met during her adventure career. Later, with Mapel’s persuasion, her husband chose to marry into her husband. The kes family.

After that, the two gave birth to a son and four daughters. The eldest son joined the kingdom's military, and the eldest daughter married the second daughter. The other two daughters inherited their mother's glorious tradition and chose their significant other from an adventurous career.

Kalida Akers is the youngest daughter of the two, and her husband is also an adventurer from a commoner background, named Lanes, who married into the Akers family.

After getting married, the two gave birth to two daughters and one son. As their eldest son and the youngest grandson of Aunt Marpel, Brian was loved by their small family.

However, there is a price to be paid for being overly pampered. Not only did she get married early before she was thirty years old.

"However, I have never even met Count Miledo's three daughters, so I made an inexplicable agreement to get married in two years."

"Cousin, relax, Aunt Mapel and Aunt Carida will personally check it. They will never harm you. Maybe it can help your career to a higher level."

"Oh, Weilin, you're free and easy." Brian looked at Weilin with a resentful look on his face, which made him couldn't help but laugh.

"I have my elder brother to support me and my father who has learned from the past, so it's easy."

"Okay, okay, Brian, look at it, there are many benefits after getting married." Cassius comforted his friend again.

"Gentlemen, please be quiet. Next, I would like to invite the distinguished commander of the legion, Viscount Montcas, to speak."

The surrounding nobles politely stopped communicating, turned their attention to the center of the venue, and cast respectful glances at a serious middle-aged gentleman to express their respect and accomplishment.

The three of them also stood up from their stools, ready to listen to Viscount Moncas's speech.

"Good evening, gentlemen."

"I am honored to be the first guest to speak tonight as a guest at a private dinner hosted by Lord Alcott."

If a viscount addresses a banquet of an ordinary baron, there is no need to be so polite.

But for a baron with a great background and who was immediately promoted to viscount, this was quite normal.

"After half a year of hard work, we are finally about to achieve a staged victory. This time, as expected, three viscounts will be born for our province of Cadero, which will enhance the overall strength of our province and increase our influence in the Parliament of Nobles. the right to speak.”

"I……"

Ten minutes later, Viscount Montcas's speech ended and the banquet officially began.

As for why his cousin Alcott didn't come forward to speak, it was probably because he wanted to save this important moment at the knighthood promotion banquet.
