Chapter 603 (1/2)
Anyang is naturally not interested in the Baron's title, and it is impossible to stay here as a baron, which is just an excuse. He could give Sheryl what she wanted in some other way, and it was more secure than the future loyalty to the baron.
The main thing is to give less and get more.
Anyang got up and went to the window, looking out at the farm and the vast wasteland and began to sort out some relations.
Baron was a noble who started his family by force, so he was very concerned about his own forces, so he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to attract knights and invest most of his territory's financial revenue in training knights. Over the years, it has been fruitful.
This is how Anyang was escorted to the powerful cavalry apprentice army in Boer city.
This led to the Baron's powerful force even though he was not big and was only a barren place in a remote area. In this troubled time, he always stopped the attack of thieves and gradually established his reputation, which gradually developed into prosperity.
In the past few years, the Xiuka cavalry also led troops to exterminate a group of thieves in the West and successfully expanded the territory.
The Baron seemed to be in the middle of prosperity.
It's just a tangle in the aspect of inheritors. The always decisive Baron is always wavering between Mickey and Ian. This battle undoubtedly gives many people a signal. It seems that the Baron will finally make a wise choice as always.
In everyone's mind, Mickey is no doubt more suitable to inherit the Baron than the arrogant Ian.
Even Anyang thinks so.
Though Mickey is the eldest son, he is not smooth sailing. On the contrary, he is a model of making great efforts.
Because the Baron dotes on Ian more, almost all people focus on him. But later, Ian proved that he was a dandy besides being still loved by the Baron many times, and everyone began to be disappointed.
Mickey, however, actively received Knight training, worked hard to learn and enrich himself, and now he is a ready knight.
If it wasn't for the Baron's partiality, even the only place to go to asraby College for further study was given to Ian. It's hard to understand his real thoughts. No one would be foolishly on Ian's side now.
Anyang shook his head and felt that there were only three people that Ian could really trust except the Baron and cousin.
One is Lunan Hearst, one is Misha Larkin, and the other is Sheryl zekalia.
The first two cousins, apart from their good looks and good bodies, can't find any advantages. They have neither status nor brains. If they don't, they won't please Ian every day. Or they can't even sell their bodies to please Mickey.
Anyang felt that they could only use it to pinch their shoulders and beat their legs, to nourish their eyes in their spare time, or to eat them.
The latter cousin is not bad. Unfortunately, she is cold-blooded and not loyal enough. She also has no position of strength. It's better for Lunan and Misha to rely on Ian as the only one around him all day. They only hope that they can improve with the badge.
There are still some distant cousins, but they are not close enough and obviously not worth believing.
It's all to blame that Ian is only bored with the two best looking cousins, and the rest are alienated.
As for the Xiuka knight who seems to be on his side
In fact, the seuka Knight's attitude has always been ambiguous. He has three daughters in total. Only Sheryl chooses Ian. Two of them have already had a relationship with Mickey and have been living together. This is also his way to consolidate his position.
And as the Baron's right-hand assistant, the Baron will not allow him to stand on which side.
Only the Baron is the only one that the seka knights are loyal to.
Cheryl is of no importance at all. Even if Mickey's successor, Ian, is expelled later, the powerful Xiuka Knight will never be persecuted by Mickey. Of course, if he supports Ian's successor directly, it will be different.
Anyang admired the knight's efforts to encourage three daughters to have a relationship with two Baron heirs at the same time.
However, this kind of means seems to be insane, but it is very common in this world. Marriage is often used to maintain the relationship between the nobles and their subordinates, the masters and the collateral. After all, the nobles want their subordinates to be more loyal and their subordinates want to be more stable.
Ancient China in the past often did the same.
In general, the emperor will give his daughter to the outstanding sons and daughters of the great officials of the dynasty, and the high-ranking civil servants and military generals will choose the high-quality women from their immediate or collateral relatives to present in the palace, or marry the outstanding prince.
As for consanguinity, it doesn't matter. In order to ensure the purity of blood, it's common for aristocratic relatives to intermarry.
Even in some countries in the real world, aristocrats will make their cousins marry for the sake of bloodline, and even in many modern European countries, the laws do not prohibit the marriage of cousins, and most countries do not prohibit the marriage of cousins.
China's policy of giving birth to and giving birth to children is the most strict on ”marriage by close relatives”, not one of them.
What's more, Cheryl and her sisters have a long history of blood relationship with the Ian brothers.
The sky is like blood, and slowly to the West.The sunset is becoming more and more obscure, and the sky is fading.
It seems that Lydia came again because she brought a lot of snacks that Ian liked to eat in the daytime, and she put on a posture of long-term conversation with Anyang: ”because all the dried black autumn fish in the territory are sold to the caravan...”
”It doesn't matter, cousin.”
Anyang interrupted her before she finished.
This is obviously an excuse that she doesn't want Ian to eat black autumn dried fish. In the real world, adults often do this when they coax children. However, it's a big concession that she doesn't have a strong prohibition. Obviously, she doesn't want to arouse Ian's rebellious psychology tonight.
