Chapter 562 A luxurious guest list
As for Alice's mother Hilda, it goes without saying that she treated Wood as her own child as early as when Wood temporarily stayed at Boreas's house.
His level of doting is even greater than that of his biological daughter Alice.
Even after being rescued by Wood in the Land of Chaos, Hilda's most common complaint was that she was envious of why Senis had so many outstanding children, why Wood was not her child, and so on.
And now her wish is finally coming true. If Wood and Alice get married, then of course, Wood will be her child.
For this matter, the Boreas family was extremely concerned, and even the entire family was too busy to move around.
Although the nobles in the Fitoya territory received some inside information and knew that the Boreas family was getting married, they did not know who the other party of the betrothal was.
Many nobles in the Fitoya territory wanted to get invitations through some channels so that they could get into the arms of the Boreas family, but then they were shocked to find that the Boreas family didn't seem to have any intention of holding the wedding in a big way.
Because of this matter, many nobles secretly speculated that Miss Alice's engagement partner should be an ordinary person, so Boreas felt that he could not afford to lose that person, so he did not hold a grand wedding.
After all, the reputation of Miss Alice is not a secret in Loya City. If it weren't for her prominent status, even though Alice looks extremely beautiful, nobles who hold their own status would not choose Alice, who is like a wild cat.
However, not long after such rumors spread in Roja City, some nobles spread the gossip they got from the Boreas family.
The reason why the Boreas family did not hold the wedding with great fanfare and did not invite the local nobles was not because they felt embarrassed, but because the local nobles were not qualified enough to participate in the wedding.
According to the servants of the Boreas family, the Boreas family has not sent out invitations. Queen Ariel of the Kingdom of Asra, Queen Benedict of the Wanglong Kingdom, and Pope Cliff of the Holy Kingdom of Milis Your Majesty, I am the second prince of the Shillong Kingdom and the Latrea family of Milis Kingdom.
Randolf, the fifth god of death among the seven great powers, the former old sword god of the Land of Sword Masters, the demon king Buddy Gundy and the demon emperor Chisilica, and even the legendary dragon god and the elf king all took the initiative to send letters. He expressed that he wanted to participate in this wedding and send blessings to the two engagers.
Such a luxurious and outrageous lineup directly includes several powerful kingdoms on the mainland, and even many powerful people standing at the top of the pyramid in the world, and even legendary figures. Who dares to say that this wedding is awesome? not tall?
To put it bluntly, the princes of a country are purely younger brothers in such a lineup. Some of their local minor nobles have not received invitations to engage in marriage. Isn't this quite normal?
No one doubted the authenticity of this incident, because Boreas did not come forward to defend himself.
And using the rulers of so many kingdoms and the world's strongest people as a gimmick, the Boreas family would never have the guts.
So in other words, these so-called gossips are basically true!
After learning the news, not only the nobles of the Fitoya territory were excited, but even the other nobles of the Asla Kingdom were also excited, and they worked harder to get an invitation.
Needless to say, the level of the wedding itself was high. The people who attended were, at the very least, princes of a country.
Nobles are all face-loving, and if they are expected to participate in such a high-quality banquet, this is also quite a face-saving thing in the aristocratic circle.
And the benefits don't stop there. Who are the guests attending the wedding of the eldest lady of the Boreas family this time? Let’s not mention the rulers of the kingdoms such as the Queen and the Pope. Just three of the legendary “Seven Great Powers” are here this time!
The God of Fighting and God of Demons of the seven great powers are said to have died long ago, and the God of Skills has never been seen. In other words, there are only four of the seven great powers in existence.
And at this wedding, three of the only four remaining seven major powers came! Except for the weakest Northern God who is not here, even the Dragon God who only appears in legend will appear!
Facing so many big shots, let alone other aspects, just showing up in front of them can make these nobles flock to them.
Because if they are not allowed to be favored by these big shots, then they and their family will really take off!
Unfortunately, the nobles who wanted to participate in this wedding were like crucian carp crossing the river, including many of the top nobles of the Kingdom of Asra. But when they asked for Queen Ariel's head, the young Queen also expressed that she was helpless. .
Because even she herself was asked not to bring too many people when she went to the wedding. At most, she brought Luke as a bodyguard.
It was already an extremely honorable thing for a queen of a country to attend other people's weddings, but now she is still so restricted. This makes the nobles of the Kingdom of Asra even more curious about marrying the Boreas family. Existence, what a behemoth it is.
At Boreas's house, Alice was currently practicing swordsmanship with Kirenu in the courtyard. Seeing the servants sizing her up around her, Alice suddenly felt uncomfortable all over.
In fact, Alice prefers the small village of Buena Village to staying in the luxurious city lord's mansion, because the people she likes are there, and the life there is more free, which Alice yearns for more.
However, because Wood was about to marry himself, it was always rude to stay at her husband's house before marrying into Graylat's house, so Alice was ordered to go home.
Alice, how many times have I told you to let me and the court etiquette master teach you how to be an excellent wife these days. Look at how you look now, how to be a qualified wife.
My poor Wood, I don’t know what evil he has done, why he married a wild girl like you who has no aristocratic temperament and only knows how to dance and fight with a sword all day long.
As the onlookers were driven away, Mrs. Hilda, who was dressed up but had a proud figure and beauty, also appeared on the stage.
Hilda was very happy that Wood could become her son-in-law, but looking at her daughter, Hilda felt that Alice was not worthy of Wood.
Although Alice is her daughter, in terms of personality and other aspects, in Hilda's eyes, Wood will always be that child who is considerate, polite, not only obedient, but also extremely gentle.
In comparison, her daughter Alice is not only unruly and willful, but has also caused trouble to her since childhood. Comparing the two, they can be described as worlds apart.
What does it matter, mother, anyway, Wood and I grew up together, and he also knows what kind of person I am.
Moreover, the people of the Graylat family are very talkative. They have lived in seclusion and do not follow the etiquette of aristocrats. Even if I learn those things, I may not be able to use them.
When it comes to so-called etiquette issues, Alice is confused. She is absolutely talented in swordsmanship, but in terms of so-called etiquette, she is an absolute idiot.
If I remember correctly, Senise Graylat, who is about to become your other mother, was once a noble lady in the La Torreya family known as the 'model daughter'.
Do you think you can please others with your current appearance?
And you will never let your future children be like you, a wild girl or a wild boy who doesn't know etiquette, right?
If it had been anyone else, Alice would have dared to resist, but the other person was her mother, and Alice could only be dragged away in the end with Kirenu's helpless expression.
Madam, these are the greeting cards and invitations that were delivered to your door today. Many of them invite you to attend the tea party between ladies.
Hilda, who was dragging Alice to learn etiquette, was stopped halfway by a guard, who was holding an invitation as high as a hill in his hand, ready for Hilda to handle.
Mother, in terms of etiquette, I can go to the old woman... etiquette teacher to learn from me. You'd better go to your friend's tea party as soon as possible.
Seeing the opportunity to escape, Alice immediately broke away from Hilda's restraints and prepared to run away directly. However, as soon as she took a step, Hilda grabbed her ear again, and turned to the guard and said: Throw away all these things. The so-called tea party invitations and visits are nothing more than wanting a spot to participate in Alice and Wood's wedding.
Just reply to them, I have to train Alice well these days to make her a lady, and I don’t have time to accept their invitation.
I would also like you to tell Phillip that if he dares to mess around and make Wood and Alice's wedding a mess, I won't let him go!
After leaving such a sentence, Alice was dragged away by her mother Hilda.
The person who spread the so-called gossip was actually Alice's father Philip, because he really couldn't stand the rumors outside that slandered the Boreas family's support.
However, he himself did not expect that it would cause such a big commotion, and he was now having quite a headache for this reason.
During this period of time, many princes, nobles and distant relatives of the family came to him to establish friendship. They just wanted to attend the wedding of Alice and Wood. They said they wanted to send blessings, but in fact they just wanted to be in the real wedding. High society shows its face.
Since arriving in Royal City as a branch of the family, Philip has never been as stylish as he is now. Even the royal family and the clan have to kneel and lick him.
The children he and Hilda had left as hostages in the Zong family have now been released. After all, their family is no longer what it used to be.
Although Philip has a strong desire for power, he is not a fool. He knows that the status and fame he has now are all brought by Wood and Alice.
Once the engagement between the two of them is messed up, it will be a loss that outweighs the gain for him.
I'm so proud... There are so many invitations, and there are even people from the Asra Kingdom's royal family in them. Madam refused readily, but she never thought that rejecting these people would bring trouble to the Boreas family. What an impact.
I don’t know what the child Wood was thinking. Although their wedding could be held more grandly than Her Majesty the Queen’s, they chose to keep a low profile.
Looking at the small pile of invitations being moved into the room, Philip felt like his brain was exploding. The letters he had received in the past two days could almost fill half of the room.
In addition to the nobles from Asra Kingdom, there are also many letters from nobles from other kingdoms and even the royal family.
Phillip's original intention was to dispel the rumors and help the Boreas family increase their reputation, but he didn't expect that the impact of Wood's guest list would be so explosive.
If it were just a few nobles, Philip felt that with the current confidence of the Boreas family, it would not be a big problem to refuse them.
But now, almost all the kingdoms and nobles in the Central Continent have sent invitations to him. If they all refuse, Philip feels that the Boreas family simply cannot afford it.
If Sir Philip finds it so troublesome, then it would be better to hold the wedding between me and Alice in two events.
Mr. Philip can choose the appropriate number of people you want to invite to the banquet, and Alice and I will show up here, so that the Boreas family will not be embarrassed.
Of course, I can only guarantee that Alice and I will show up here. As for whether Olstead and the others will follow, that is something I cannot guarantee.
Wood came to see Alice. In the past few days when this girl came home, she had secretly sent Wood a letter more than once, saying that she was living in dire straits at home and hoped that Wood would come to rescue her soon.
Wood, who knew Alice's temperament, didn't pay much attention to this at first, but the girl was too persistent and changed her ways every day to ask the servants of the Boreas family to deliver messages to him.
Because he was afraid that Alice would do something unreasonable if forced, so Wood finally came to the Boreas house.
After many years, he came to Boreas's mansion again. Wood had changed from a seven or eight-year-old boy to a fifteen-year-old boy now.
At his age, if placed in modern society, he would be at most a high school student. But in this other world, a fifteen-year-old boy is considered an adult and can get married.
When he arrived at the Boreas home, Wood originally thought he wanted a guard to inform him. After all, the Boreas family is not what it used to be. There are too many people who want to visit every day. Even the guards have not learned to use a hundred excuses to reject visitors.
Wood used to live at Boreas's house, and he knew the guards here, but after so many years, Wood didn't think these people could still remember him.
Sneaking into his fiancée's home is always a bit bad, so when Wood was about to talk to the guard step by step and enter Boreas's house, a sharp-eyed guard spotted him and quickly asked cautiously: Are you Lord Wood Greyrat? (End of Chapter)
