56 Details of the plan (1/2)

”What?!”

While our talks about marriage were limited so far to the loving whispers after the deed was finished and back then, when we enjoyed ourselves with more than a single cup of beer, I suddenly came out and announced that I was going to invite one of the major players on Commonwealth political table to our wedding?

”You don't like the idea? While we might not be the greatest nobles, my lineage comes directly from the Jan Tarnowski heritage! What's more, I do believe that your beauty deserves to be graced with such grand guests at our wedding!”

Adding small praise to my sentence was as much a true statement as much my silly attempt to subjugate Elia's surprise before it would turn into anger prompted by the fact that I didn't bother to ask her about her opinion, or even informed her about the fact!

”It's not I don't like it… But rather, it's all too sudden for me!”

It was quite funny to hear those words coming out from the lips that just last night were greedily latching onto the sides of my penis! But it wasn't an argument I could ever bring out, even if my dear companion Al was far enough to miss the conversation!

”Look. Our entire relationship is sudden. We suddenly met, we suddenly came to an agreement, we suddenly realised that this fake ruse turned into something real. If I were to be completely honest, seeing a Frenchman sitting on a Polish throne doesn't fill me with confidence about the stability of his rule. With how our entire world could collapse at any given moment, why not just marry as soon as possible, while using it to make sure no one would be left to meddle with our affairs?”

Quite obviously, I couldn't tell them how our beloved king would simply run away from this country as soon as French throne would turn vacant, but that didn't stop me from hinting how unstable his rule was.

”You are right, sir.”

As if he didn't understand that the current conversation was between me and Elia alone, Al suddenly hurried his horse to level himself up with the two of us and butted into the discussion.

”If we ignore all the bullshit about feelings and love, marriage is a powerful tool for the nobles. If there is a chance to use it for the best of our interests, hesitating because of feelings would only prove how unqualified one is to wield the noble title!”

While I couldn't disagree with what he just said, I could only praise him if he said that in private, with no additional pair of ears receiving this message! After all, I might be from the future, I might be unaccustomed to the reality of this times yet, but I wasn't as stupid to congratulate him those words when Elia was riding just beside me!

”Hey, Al… Did anyone ever told you to shut your fucking crap?”

Only this response saved me from the vicious stare that Elia instantly send towards the two of us.
