Chapter 45: Duke Palan (4) (2/2)
This temporary position had been created by Milton for the vassals who had devoted their entire lives to the territory to be able to live comfortably for the rest of their lives While they had little power, even the active officials and knights of territory had to respect theht Captain, and Thomas, the former administrator in his estate Anyways, these two Elders had recently joined forces to pursue one thing
But fro
However, there wasn’t a good way to reject the thely aggressively until Milton started to outright avoid theive us an answer today”
In the end, the two Elders energetically entered Milton’s study
“I haven’t even said to co to run away, My Lord?”
“You can’t do that, My Lord”
These two stubborn old men were rude, reckless, and determined
The reason was…
“Now Choose one of these, My Lord”
“All of the ladies who are reputed to be beautiful and wise”
It was the Milton Forrest Marriage project
“Hah I’hed as he looked at the dozens of portraits left by the two Elders The two explained the necessity and i Milton’s indifference towards e, Sansen cried out for the previous Viscount Forrest saying that it was because of his inadequacy that Milton didn’t want to get uilty In the end, Milton was only able to push the two Elders out by saying he would give it soo insane They’re not even older relatives I have to see during the holidays, so why…”
But if you think about it, the two elders weren’t wrong Providing an heir was an important duty of a feudal lord In order to have an heir, it was common to have multiple wives and even a cause for divorce if the wife couldn’t bear a son Truth be told, Milton should have been o After his father’s death, there were a lot of things that needed his attention, and ot delayed Traditionally, an official offer of ed, politicallya suitable young lady
But the problem was that Milton hadthe memories of the previous life, Milton had no issues with an arranged ht of it was repulsive now He was very reluctant to h Milton was given ladies’ portraits, he knew that they were greatly exaggerated
Soreat, Milton couldn’t understand how any artist with a conscience could call a painting froination a direct portrait
‘This world doesn’t even have social ? Is it a woman’s instinct?’
And the probleest problem was their personality
All the , has a strong sense of justice, a high spirit, and will be obedient to her husband
‘What bullshi+t…’
If there was such a wo There’s no way you could tell a person’s personality withoutwith them So how are you supposed to know a person’s personality just fro to the matchmaker’s lies?
Milton frowned and muttered
“This is all because h”
In the Capital, there were s for the opposite sex to meet each other Thanks to this, rost the Capital’s nobles Infidelity was also a common side effect The main point was that there were a lot of opportunities to meet
But the country nobilities weren’t able to do that In particular, the southern region of the country didn’t have enough economic leeway to hold banquets frequently, but also because they were very conservative
Women believed it was their duty to quietly marry thetheir husband and bearing and raising their children And for there to be a concept as ‘dating’ in this dark age? Impossible
“Should I just pick one of these?”
Miltonat the portraits but then shook his head
The portraits were all beautiful, but that’s why none of them could be trusted
‘It’s obviously a voice phishi+ng scam I can’t fall for it when I can clearly see it’s a scaht came to his mind
“If there’s no banquet, why don’t I hold on?”
‘How I could not have thought of such an obvious idea?’
Now that he thought about it, it really was si that he should prepare so for him to meet with those who had recently invested in his port
Milton immediately called for his chamberlain, “Prepare a banquet and send an invitation to all the investors”
And so, Milton decided to create his own social event
