The Witcher: Son of the Planes

Emerald Collar - Castle Hall

Looking at the guests waiting in the hall, George walked over confidently.

"Why are you here? I wonder if everyone has been waiting for you for a long time?" Richard said.

"Father, I'm a little late because I lost track of time during practice. I'm sorry." George explained.

"Hurry up and meet the guests."

"OK."

…

"Is that Baron Richard's son? What a talent."

"Well, not bad, not bad, it suits my daughter quite well."

"You are eyeing my Jade Collar's foundation, are you so eager to hug your thick legs?"

"Why are you here? Don't you have the same idea as me? Do you really think that our friendship is so deep? Don't you think that you can not only marry Baron Richard, but also gain connections with the Cavendi family in the royal capital? When Who is the fool?"

Regardless of the comments made by the guests, George politely greeted them one by one and exchanged pleasantries.

"Ha, look, our little George has grown into a great young man." George's uncle Joseph joked nonchalantly.

"Uncle Joseph, why haven't you seen my Grandpa Terry?" George responded quickly.

"Your grandfather doesn't have time to come. The situation in the principality has been tense recently. He is helping your grandfather Jason handle official duties." Joseph continued.

"Well, I thought I could see grandpa."

"It won't be long before you see it?"

"Um?"

"That's right, your old uncle and I are about to get married. When the time comes, when you come to the capital, won't you just watch your grandpa?" Speaking of this, Joseph also said a little embarrassed.

"Really, uncle, have you finally figured it out?"

"Why don't you think about it? As the heir of the Cavendi family, uncle must also contribute to the family, right?"

"You talk to the guests first, and I want to talk to your father about something." After saying that, Joseph went to find Richard.

…

Seeing Joseph walking towards him, Richard knew that he had something to talk about.

"Excuse me." After greeting the surrounding guests, he took Gandalf and Joseph to the study.

"Joseph, does the Marquis have any plans?" Richard asked.

"You got down to business as soon as you got here? You old boy, you kidnapped my sister while I was studying in the Glory Empire, huh!" Joseph said pretending to be dissatisfied.

With the reputation of the Cavendi family, it is actually not suitable to find a too powerful family for marriage. He is a military boss of the principality. If he finds a powerful in-law, the royal family will be unable to sit still. Since there is no need for this, Joseph still approved of Lilibet's ability to marry his childhood brother.

"Haha, that's because I'm very charming. How about you? Haven't you come out after all these years? If you don't find a wife, the Cavendi family will be extinct."

"If there's anything she can't get out of, it's her and her family's choice... Besides, after so many years, I heard that she has children, and she and Prince Andy Caroline are very affectionate." Joseph said a little sourly.

When Joseph was young, he had a childhood sweetheart named Daisy, who was the legitimate daughter of the Tichy family. However, because of some considerations, the Tichy family married Daisy into the royal family, which separated Joseph and Daisy. This couple, and because of this, Joseph went to study in the Huiyao Empire for many years, and recently returned to the royal capital.

"I'm getting married soon, and I will invite your whole family to the capital to attend my wedding in the near future." Joseph said.

"Congratulations to you, whose noble daughter is this?"

"He is from the Anjou family and is said to have a pretty good personality."

"Okay, let's get down to business first." Richard changed the subject.

Joseph also sat up straight, looked at Richard and Gandalf and said: "The situation in the principality is not very good. We have just reached an armistice agreement with Burgundy. We were planning to rest and recuperate for a few years before pursuing other projects. Who would have thought of Ige in the northern grasslands?" The Le tribe has invaded south, and due to Marquis Justin's negligence, the food and grass have been burned repeatedly. The Tiger Legion's military morale has been weakened and it is no longer suitable for fighting. It may need to return to the capital to reorganize in the near future. His replacement should be the Wind Legion. "

"I didn't expect so many things to happen in just a few months." Richard sighed.

"Yeah, who would have thought that Marquis Justin could still suffer this loss after fighting for half his life."

"There is no room for carelessness on the battlefield. No one dares to say that he is a victorious general. He can only be cautious." Richard said.

"Uncle Jason is still in the same situation as he said in the letter he sent Simon last time. He mainly relies on you to develop his private army. Next, if the situation changes, each noble will need to send out a certain amount of private army to fight. And as you know, the Cavendi family has a strong reputation in the royal capital, and it is no longer suitable to develop too many private armies in the royal capital. Therefore, when the time comes, you will be responsible for most of the family's private army quota. Partly, this is why your fiefdom is sealed here.”

"I understand what the Marquis means. I will step up my training. By then, I will definitely be able to complete the number of the royal family's private army." Richard said solemnly.

"As for the personnel, the family will continue to find ways to provide them. How about money?" Joseph said.

"The timber resources here are very abundant. Some of them have been sold to the mainland. The Warcraft materials in the forest have also been sold to the Port of Auckland. The income and expenditure have returned to normal, and the cost of some slaves can still be afforded."

…

George's coming-of-age ceremony ended successfully with the laughter of the guests.

"Benny, why did mother call us? I want to chat with Uncle Joseph." Helen asked.

Benny didn't answer with a guilty conscience, but just said: "Let's go, Miss, the lady must be waiting anxiously."

Nora looked at Benny, always felt that Benny was a little different today, and her voice was not as crisp as usual, but she didn't think too much, she was almost exhausted by following the lady in the hall today.

"Let's go, Miss, since the lady called you, there must be something, finish it as soon as possible, we can rest earlier." Nora advised without thinking much.

Benny saw that Nora also wanted to go together, and hurriedly said: "Nora, the lady mainly called the lady over, not you, you are also tired today, rest early."

Nora looked at the lady and didn't say anything, oh, and went back to her room.

Helen felt that Benny was weird today. Since her mother called her, she should go early and come back early.

...

Lilibet's bedroom

"Mother, what's the matter? I'm so tired today. Can't we talk about it tomorrow?" Helen yelled as she came in.

Lilibet looked at Bernie, "Go and close the door." Lilibet told Bernie.

"Tell me, how did you and George get together?"

"Huh? Is there anything else about my brother?" Helen was confused.

"The dinner is about to start. I went to find Master George. I saw him fall to the ground in pain, so I went to check... Later, you saw it, Madam."

"Ah..." Helen opened her mouth in surprise.

For about 5 minutes, Lilibet didn't speak. She was thinking about how to arrange Bernie.

"I'll go to him. How can Brother George do this? How can he bully Bernie? Bernie is my maid." Helen felt like her beloved toy was taken away by her brother.

"Don't go!" Lilibet stopped Helen who was about to go out.

He looked at Bernie again and said, "Bernie, you are a good child. I am very grateful for your efforts for George, but you also know that it is impossible for you to be together...."

Bernie's face turned pale when she heard the lady say it was impossible. "Husband, Madam."

"I give you two choices. One is to release you from slavery and let you choose a respectable man in the territory to marry; the other is to release you from slavery, give you a large sum of money, and send you away from Emerald Island."

"You should know that George is at a critical time of marriage. I don't want to hear the news that he is hanging out with maids before marriage."

Bernie was originally happy to think that she could be with Master George. Even if she was not his wife, she was willing. As a result, the lady's words were like a basin of cold water poured on her head.

In an instant, Bernie's legs were a little weak and she fell on the blanket.

"Mother." Helen wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.

Bernie wanted to struggle and meet Master George to listen to his opinions, but in the end she knew it was futile.

She didn't want to marry someone irrelevant. He looked up at his wife and said, "Madam, I choose to leave..."

Helen: "..."
