Chapter 608: The king fingered three
"whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?"
Paul stared dumbfounded at Hansel and his father, Earl Pearson Abbott, sitting in front of him.
His eyes were wide and round in disbelief, and there was a level of surprise on his face that Hansel hadn't seen in Paul.
It took a long time for Paul to come back to his senses!
"Sorry, maybe I heard it clearly just now, Earl Albert, can you say it again?"
"Ahem!"
Earl Albert cleared his throat.
"Our Majesty the King, Rodney XVIII, wants the royal family and the Greymans to be related by marriage, and he wants his sister, the daughter of his uncle, the former King Rodney XVII, Princess Catherine marry you!"
Earl Albert's unmistakable answer completely confused Paul!
As Paul grew up, Philip's housekeeper began to arrange lifelong affairs for him. Paul was the only seed left in the Graham family's lineage. Procreating offspring was a very important task.
The old butler let him look at some portraits every now and then and choose a wife who satisfied him.
Most of these portraits were the daughters-to-be of various aristocratic families in the Northwest Gulf, but they always dissatisfied Paul.
Don't get me wrong, Paul is not like other traversers, even if the other party is an impeccable beauty, he still yells about free love, independent marriage, and hates the arranged life.
If the family had really arranged for him a marriage partner that satisfied him, Paul would have laughed so hard.
For his other half, Paul once had beautiful fantasies.
But his beautiful fantasies are not funny souls or anything.
In this regard, Paul is a common man, and the beauty in his fantasy is a good-looking skin.
But a good-looking skin needs to be nourished by a place of water and soil. The abundance of life and the precipitation of time are "cultivated" from generation to generation.
And the Northwest Gulf! Everyone knows what kind of place it used to be.
The Northwest Gulf is very poor now, but there is still a lack of time to settle.
In his previous life, Paul had been bombarded by all kinds of beauties on the Internet.
This caused him to be a little bit reluctant to get along with the girls in the Northwest Gulf... he couldn't get his hands on it.
The two beauties from other places who came to him, Betty Dias and Ratty Setia, agreed with Paul's definition of "good-looking skin".
But Betty's temper is a bit arrogant. When Paul came into contact with her, he always felt that the other party was a little condescending, and Betty left Northwest Bay later.
As for Radi Setiah...
With a beautiful appearance, mysterious magic, and a calm mind, such a character is very popular in any game or film and television work.
There is indeed some ambiguity between Paul and this witch.
Facing Ratty Setia, Paul had one of the three major illusions in life more than once.
Especially when he was drawing big pies in industry or technology, and when he gave scientific explanations to certain natural phenomena, as a scholar, Ratti always looked at Paul with a certain kind of admiration.
Ratti had sacrificed his life to protect him more than once.
Ratty also stated more than once that she would be loyal to Paul and Paul's cause, but Paul was not sure whether this was similar to a knight's loyalty to the monarch or had a different meaning.
When Paul began to test, or tried to change the relationship between the two from ambiguous to another direction, he encountered resistance.
The first resistance came from Philip, the old housekeeper. Philip knew Ratty's status as a witch. When he found that Paul might have some illusions about this beautiful lady, he immediately warned his master.
"If Ms. Setia becomes your partner, once her identity is revealed, it will bring you great trouble, even... tragedy!"
Surprised, Paul asked, "Tragedy?"
Philip replied: "Yes, if you and her are just a lord and a subject, it's okay to say that after her identity is exposed, you can still protect yourself, or your prestige and power can be so strong that you can overwhelm everyone and even fight against the church. "
"But if you become a couple, it's different. Your wife will share your power and become the mistress of the domain. Your people may accept that their lord has a witch under her, because she is also under your rule. But it is not necessarily acceptable to have a witch rule them, they will have doubts and fears, and finally spread doubts and fears to you, her other half."
"At that time, you had emotional and family bonds, and even had a bigger bond of children. I know, Lord Graham, just like your father, you are a person who values these things very much."
"At that time, you, and your witch wife, will inevitably face some very bad choices. This will be a great tragedy for you, especially for your children."
"Child? Philip, you're thinking too far!" Paul was amused when he heard that~ www.readwn.com~ No! Not far at all! "
Paul remembered clearly that Philip looked at him with pity at that time, as if tragedy had happened.
Always, butler Philip, whom Paul regards as an elder, objected, or at least disapproved.
The second resistance comes from Ratti or Paul himself.
Ladi Setia is a woman with a calm personality like water. She is not the kind of iceberg beauty who rejects people thousands of miles away, but she can't be said to be very enthusiastic.
Every time some kind of ambiguity flared up between Paul and her, the woman was always taking it lightly.
Paul even once wondered if the other party was hanging himself on purpose, just like the green tea in the previous life.
But through years of getting along with each other, especially after she risked her life to protect herself several times, this suspicion was completely eliminated.
Paul also asked her insinuatingly about the caster's attitude towards marriage.
"Witches bring disaster to their own men," Ratti replied solemnly then, even with a sort of warning.
This coincides with what the old housekeeper said.
Paul also wants to take the initiative to develop the relationship between the two, but he has some concerns.
What if Radi resisted in his heart and forced her away from him?
She is a witch, not an ordinary person. Paul lacks the strong constraints on Ratti that a lord and a lord have on a commoner.
If she wants to leave, can she stop it?
Regardless of Ratty's beauty, her magic had played an inestimable value to him and saved his life several times, which Paul didn't want to lose.
And Paul quite enjoyed the occasional ambiguity between the two.
For various reasons, Paul did not want Ratti to leave.
This also prevents him from taking the initiative to change the status quo.
