Lord: More Children, More Blessings, Build A Family Of Gods

Although it is known that after being promoted to Sky Knight, Rennes will definitely soar to new heights.

But jumping two levels and obtaining the title of Duke has shocked many people.

You see,

In the vast Kingdom of Rennes, there are only six Dukes!

Upon hearing this news,

The entire noble circle of the Rhine region is in an uproar.

After all,

The highest titles in the Rhine region are only Counts.

Now Rennes has become a Duke.

Coupled with his own formidable strength,

The combination of the two,

In the future, the Rhine region will likely be under Rennes' control.

Understanding this,

Some nobles with a strong speculative mindset immediately prepare gifts and visit Rennes.

Hoping to attach themselves to the Habsburg family and further their own families.

Seeing the actions of these nobles,

Other nobles who were originally observing couldn't help but take action.

The reason is simple.

Visiting to offer congratulations may not necessarily allow them to attach themselves to the Habsburg family.

But if they don't go,

They will most likely be remembered by the Habsburg family.

No one wants to be resented by a Duke family over such a small matter.

Even if the probability is small, it's the same.

In this situation,

The Habsburg Manor, which had just calmed down, became lively once again.

However,

Rennes doesn't seem to have any objections this time.

Promoting to Duke and increasing the family's fiefdom sixfold.

This joyous occasion should indeed be celebrated and made lively.

One week later,

After days of preparation,

A grand celebration banquet unfolded at the Habsburg Manor.

The number of people attending this banquet was several times more than when Rennes held a celebration banquet as a Count.

Not only from the Rhine region,

Noble lords from several surrounding areas also came.

There were over three hundred people in total.

Among them, there were even more than twenty Count nobles and five Marquises.

As the absolute protagonist of this banquet.

Rennes arrived with ten wives to receive these distinguished guests who had traveled from afar.

During the process of communication,

These counts, marquises, and dukes more or less revealed their intention to form a marriage alliance with the Habus family.

Regarding this,

Rennes politely declined with a smile.

After all, his adult sons and daughters were all married now.

Only the underage ones were left, who were not yet of marriageable age.

Moreover,

With his current power and status, he didn't need to rely on sacrificing his children's happiness for a marriage alliance.

However,

Jenice, who was standing by, brightened up upon hearing the words of these counts and nobles.

She knew that Rennes loved children very much.

She was already old now.

It was not suitable for her to have children anymore.

If she could help her husband have more children with other women, he would definitely be happy.

Thinking of this,

Jenice immediately spoke up,

"There is no problem with a marriage alliance."

"Although our Habus family currently doesn't have any eligible children!"

"But my husband can marry."

"However, my husband has high requirements for his wives. Firstly, they must be sufficiently beautiful, not necessarily surpassing all others, but at least a beauty."

"Secondly, they must have above-average cultivation qualifications."

"Thirdly, their character cannot be too bad..."

Some time ago,

After confirming that she would not have any more children in the future, Jenice wanted to find a few more women for Rennes.

Therefore, she specifically asked Rennes about his standards for taking wives.

As soon as these words were spoken,

The counts and marquises present were immediately stunned.

Their minds couldn't keep up.

They had originally only wanted to marry their own children to the heirs of the Habus family, taking advantage of the rising power of the newly established ducal family of Habus.

How did the marriage alliance suddenly change to Rennes, the head of the Habus family?

"But, this seems to be more effective."

After coming back to their senses, the counts and marquises present secretly thought.

Although the requirements for the marriage alliance had become higher,

The weight of the heirs of the Habus family and the head of the family was clear to everyone.

Rennes was the pillar of the Habus family.

If they could directly form a marriage alliance with him.

That would be equivalent to having a sky knight as a son-in-law.

The role this plays in the family's development is much greater than a normal marriage.

Think carefully about the advantages and disadvantages.

More than twenty counts and five marquises present all agreed to it.

Three days later.

This grand celebration finally came to an end.

Nobles rode in carriages and left the Habus Manor.

Among them, the counts and marquises who intended to marry into the Habus family hurried back home.

They were preparing to select eligible daughters and send them to the Habus Manor.

The Rhine region.

Storm City, hundreds of kilometers away from Xiongying Town.

This is a city controlled by the Earl Neil's family.

It has stood for hundreds of years and is a famous city in the entire Rhine region.

The city has a population of about 700,000.

It is very prosperous.

At this moment.

In a room of the Earl Neil's family estate.

A beautiful red-haired girl was crying.

It's unclear how long it had been.

A gentle-looking girl carrying a lunchbox pushed open the door and walked in.

"Serena, come and eat! You haven't eaten anything all day, don't starve yourself."

She took out the food from the lunchbox and placed it on the table, and said to the red-haired girl.

Hearing this, Serena wiped away her tears. She originally wanted to refuse to eat.

But her stomach was too hungry.

In the end, she couldn't say the words "I won't eat."

While eating dinner, Serena complained, "Emika, Father is really annoying! He actually wants to marry me off to the head of the Habus family just to please him."

"I heard that the head of the Habus family is almost seventy years old and has fifty or sixty children."

Please give flowers...0

"The oldest child is even older than me."

"How can I marry him?"

"If I were to marry, I should marry the son of the head of the Habus family."

Listening to her sister's complaints, Emika also showed a hint of helplessness on her face and quickly persuaded, "The head of the Habus family is a strong sky knight, with a lifespan of at least three hundred years. Even if he is seventy now, he is still in his prime."

"You won't lose out by marrying him."

However.

Serena couldn't accept it.

Marrying a "old man" who is fifty-two years older than herself is beyond her psychological tolerance.

She refuses to do anything.

"Eimik, can you help me?" Selina held Eimik's hand and acted coquettishly after dinner, hoping her sister could help her speak and persuade their father to change his mind.

"Okay! I'll help you speak!"

However.

Eimik knew deep down that even if she helped speak, it probably wouldn't have much effect.

Their father was unlikely to change his mind.

After all.

If they could establish a relationship through a marriage alliance with Rennes, a top powerhouse living in the Rhine region.

The future of the Neil family would undoubtedly prosper.

There might even be a chance to further advance and become a duke's family.

In the face of such a major matter concerning the future rise and fall of the family.

Even though she was the eldest daughter of the family, she didn't have much say.

And it was indeed the case.

As soon as Count Hughes Neil heard that his daughter Selina didn't want to get married, his expression immediately changed.

He sternly reprimanded Selina and Eimik.

"Wuwuwu~"

Returning to the room, Selina lay on the bed, looking extremely aggrieved.

She had a look of despair on her face.

Seeing her sister's appearance, Yicai felt extremely distressed.

If it weren't for her own lack of talent in martial arts and magic cultivation, not meeting the requirements...

She really wished she could marry in her sister's place.

"If you really don't want to enter into a marriage alliance, just run away directly."

"I'll help you distract Father and the others."

Afraid that her biological sister, who had grown up together with her, would do something foolish, Yimike thought for a moment and gritted her teeth as she spoke.

Hearing this,

Selina showed a hint of interest.

In the end, she chose to give up on the idea of running away.

She knew that doing so would harm her sister.

She couldn't be that selfish.

Scenes like this played out in several noble families.

However,

Most noble girls were still able to accept it.

They received noble education from a young age, enjoyed the resources of their families, and understood that marrying for the sake of the family was their duty and obligation.

Some ambitious noble girls heard that they were going to marry Rennes, the newly appointed Duke.

They even looked forward to it in their hearts...
