In the courtyard garden of the Ashford family, there is a small fountain several meters in diameter. Maria was sitting on the edge of the pool, staring at her feet in women's sandals in a daze.
These days, she often looks like this.
"Miss, the master invites you to the study." At some point, a maid stood beside her and said politely to her.
Maria raised her head, "Do you know what it is?"
"The master didn't say it, but he seemed very happy." The maid replied.
"Happy?" Maria thought of something, and the light in the blue eyes gradually recovered, becoming bright and charming.
A few minutes later, when she came outside the closed study door, Maria still paused. She recalled that night of the banquet, where she had a quarrel with her father
At that time, she explained him and his thoughts to her father with her longing for the future and marriage. But instead of giving her his blessing, his father shook his head and said to her, 'If you enter into a marriage contract with him, the Ashford family will really be over. '
Then, her father explained to her who was puzzled.
It turned out that the Ashford family entered into a marriage contract with him, relying on the relationship of the Chinese Federation, they were able to keep the family title for the time being. However, once the empire goes to war with the Chinese Federation, the Ashford family will bear the brunt, and the emperor will take it. And the war between the empire and the Chinese Federation will happen sooner or later.
In other words, once the marriage is established, the Ashford family will perish the moment the war resumes.
Maria could understand this, and her complexion turned pale. However, she cheered up quickly and explained to her father that Jingyu would definitely find a way, and Jingyu would not leave the Ashford family where she was from.
Father certainly does not agree with this point of view. Tell her, how long have you known him, how can you understand what kind of person he is? Maybe he just wants to use you to get the knightmare manufacturing technology from our Ashford family. He hadn't done that, probably because Mariana didn't want him to.
Yes, Maria didn't know that the shining Mariana, the beautiful and graceful Knight of the Round Table, was not dead until that moment.
According to his father, perhaps Jingyu did not do that in order to obtain Maryanne's complete allegiance. Now, he doesn't have that kind of preferential treatment for her Maria, because she is just a noble lady and has no such value at all.
Why did my father think so deeply about Jingyu? Maria is not incomprehensible, because the entire Ashford family is carried on the shoulders of the father. Since Mariana's defeat in the war, my father has been worried all day long, and even his gray hair has increased She can see this.
But she still couldn't help shouting to her father, "He won't do that, he values ??me because he helped me."
Then, no matter how surprised and frowning her father was at her reaction, he rushed out of the study
Standing here again, Maria already understood that she did not refute her father, but just lacked self-confidence.
She really wanted to meet him and hear his denial.
Now, she pushed open the door of the study. Being grounded, she might be able to get some unexpected surprises here.
********
The Duke of Ashford was a man in his fifties. With neat short blond hair and a tasteful gentleman's beard, he was sitting on a sofa chair in a black suit, with his hands crossed on his stomach.
Today, his complexion is indeed much better than before. The creases on the cheeks that have only recently increased have also opened up a lot.
Seeing Maria, he said lightly, "You're here" and fell silent for a while.
Maria approached his desk and looked at her father's face curiously. He seemed to be thinking about how to tell her She suppressed the anxiety in her heart and waited quietly.
After a while, the old duke said: "Today, I received a call from His Royal Highness Prince Schneizel. You attended the banquet that day, and you know that he is the chief representative of the empire's peace talks. I think he came to me I'm afraid it has something to do with the peace talks."
"Then, so" Maria's heart beat faster, and she immediately wanted to ask something.
The old prince raised his hand to stop her, "This is just a guess, it doesn't represent anything yet. But"
He paused, "If, I mean if If His Royal Highness Schneizel's move was mobilized by Long Jingyu by some means"
In a word, he paused again and again, unable to bear it.?He shook his head a few times, showing how much he couldn't believe it. However, as a duke for a long time, after all, he also has a very high political vision, and he can understand the value of what he said.
"Maria, then he will be a very remarkable person." The Duke sighed: "Besides, you and him are not completely without chance, and you can even keep our Ashford family."
"Really? Father" Maria ran to the table, put her hands on the table, and asked excitedly, "Can I really be with him?"
The old prince laughed, and looked at his daughter without answering. Maria felt her lack of restraint, and her face flushed with embarrassment.
The old duke straightened his face and said: "The specifics depend on what happens tonight. The most important thing is that the empire, preferably His Royal Highness Prince Schneizel, must personally facilitate this engagement Maria, You don't understand politics, as long as you know that this is many times better than the Chinese Federation first raising it and the empire agreeing.
Also, no matter what, this news can only be contained within the family and must not be leaked out. You'd better not meet His Royal Highness Schneizel, lest this shrewd prince see his flaws. "
"I see, father." Maria nodded solemnly.
After walking out of the study, Maria couldn't hide her joy anymore. Forgetting ladylike manners, she ran merrily down the corridor. The silver bell-like laughter even echoed back to the study room, causing the old duke to shake his head
Later, the old duke made an appointment with Schneizel. For Schneizel, the peace talks raced against time, and he arrived at the Ashford house that afternoon. The old duke personally led him into the study, and after sitting face to face on the reception sofa, Schneizel first expressed condolences to the Ashford family.
For example, the fact that Ganymede was not selected as a model for mass production was not due to the fact that the empire did not pay much attention to the Ashford family, but because of the convenience of training pilots on a large scale; The Ashford family has lost confidence, and I hope that the Ashford family can continue to work hard and serve the empire something like that.
After waiting for this, we entered the topic.
"In order to promote the relationship with the Chinese Federation, the empire intends to select a woman to be married to the very representative dragon military division of the Chinese Federation I have drawn up several places, including my sister Cornelia and the daughter of the daughter Maria Miss, the daughter of the Duke of Kiev"
Schneizel said several names in a row, "I will go to other houses later and tell them about this in person." He paused, "I don't know Mr. Ashford, Do you have any objections to the marriage between Miss Maria and the Dragon Warrior?"
"ThisYour Highness, the other party may not choose the little girl, right?" The old duke said in embarrassment: "Besides, the little girl just broke off the engagement with Mrs. Xia Yingge, and she said it herself, she wants to find someone who is like her I I am afraid that she will make some troubles and discredit the empire, so I have even banned her feet these few days."
He really didn't expect that Schneizel even counted Cornelia in the quota. In this way, he was not quite sure whether Schneizel wanted his daughter to marry Jingyu or not.
Schneizel smiled politely, "Mr. Ashford doesn't have to be like this. I think that that night, Army Division Long took good care of your daughter, and your daughter has a very good impression of him as long as you and other The ministers have no objection, and in the next few days, I will arrange for them to meet with the Dragon Army Division one by one."
"Since His Royal Highness said so, I will try my best to persuade her." The old duke promised.
Schneizel nodded in satisfaction, exchanged some polite words with the old Duke, and left Ashford's house
