”The reason I called for this meeting is about the marriages of my royal children.” Father said.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Currently, I am the only one engaged out of us four siblings. With what happened to Veronica and Sir Bradford in my engagement party last time, I am sure that she will be engaged to him. That only leaves Elizabeth and Richard.
”As you know, Alicia has just been engaged to the crown prince of Grandcrest, prince Regaleon.” Father said. ”My eldest Veronica has found a suitable suitor. He is one of my capable royal knights, Sir Bradford. He has asked the hand of Veronica and I have given them my consent.”
All the eyes of who was present in the hall turned to look at the couple. Sir Bradford bowed his head in acknowledgement, while Veronica was forcing a smile on her face.
”Congratulations sister.” Richard gave his sincere greetings.
”Congratulations.” Grandpa Robert smiled.
”Congratulations eldest sister.” I also give my greetings and smiled.
”Thank you for your greetings.” Veronica replied to us.
Veronica looked at me in the end, with such fierce gaze. I gave her a smile in reply.
'You tried to steal my man. Of course I won't let you get away with it.' I sneered internally.
I will never let Veronica try such a thing once again. She tried to use her chastity as an excuse for Regaleon to marry her. And because she was willing to let go of her chastity just like that, then I have given it to someone who has longed for her.
'She is fortunate that I let Sir Bradford be the one to take her chastity.' I thought. If I have been a little evil, I would have given it to a random passer-by on the streets of the capital.
”I am happy to know that my daughter Veronica will be in capable hands.” Father said.
”Thank you for your trust your majesty. I promise to cherish princess Veronica all her life.” Sir Bradford replied.
”I know you will. I will be counting on you.” Father said. ”From here on, I will be giving Sir Bradford the title of Duke.”
Sir Bradford having the title of duke is not surprising. He is from the noble line and to be marrying a princess is an honor for nobles. Receiving a duke's title is just fitting for the husband of a princess of this country.
”You will be bestowed upon the lands that were confiscated from the dethroned queen's maternal family. You will now be addressed as Lord Bradford of Stalin.” The king said.
Stalin was the name of the land governed by the dethroned queen's maternal family. This land is situated near the Atlantian Sea, where the ports are situated. The dethroned queen's maternal family was a military one but wedded in a daughter in law of a merchant family, making it a more rich and powerful family. With them managing the ports, they ventured into smuggling that was a serious crime.
Giving the land was fitting because Veronica is the daughter of the dethroned queen. Being the eldest, she is to be the next in line to inherit the vast lands and riches of the dethroned queen's deceased uncle general McGregor and his merchant wife. With the only son of general McGregor being a wanted criminal and in hiding, it is best to give the governing of the lands to the future husband of Veronica.
”Thank you your majesty. I will do my best to govern it the best that I can.” Lord Bradford said sincerely. Father nodded in satisfaction.
Lord Bradford is an honest man to say the least. I am sure that he will at least not go into illegal ways such as the former lord or the land once did.
