Chapter 3 Flash Marriage
The two walked onto the stage and faced the priest.
The pastor should be very experienced and didn't say much. He nodded slightly to the two of them, then raised a heavy booklet in his hand and said, "As apostle of God, today, I will witness the engagement of the two newlyweds here instead of God..."
"Alice Jones, would you be Mr. Gervis Gale's wife?"
"I do!"
"Mr. Gervis Gale, would you like to be Ms. Alice Jones' husband?"
"I do!" Geweis was very honest. Although he was yelling in his heart, he had reached this point now. If he dared to say a word in his mouth, he would definitely not even be able to escape his father. He also thought about his system tasks. If he could not complete the task, he would not know what consequences would be. What if he wiped it out and became an idiot! These were not what he wanted.
"Congratulations to you, under the witness of our Lord, you have officially become a legitimate husband and wife, and the glory of the Lord will always cover you!" Under the auspices of the experienced Pastor, the wedding of the two was officially completed.
At this moment, they were nominally formal couples and under the witness of the church pastor, and their husband and wife status was completely legal in the noble legal sense.
Because there is no marriage certificate in this world, and ordinary people don’t need to do this. They just need to set up a table to invite relatives and friends to eat.
But the nobles are different, because there is an additional issue of inheritance title. If the two have not married and married under the witness of the church pastor, then the inheritance rights of the children they have born will not be protected by the laws of the nobles.
The law stipulates that the first boy born to a legal couple has the first right of inheritance. Therefore, if you do not form a legal couple, even if the child born is the oldest, it is only an illegitimate child. When the nobleman becomes a legal couple with others and gives birth to children, even if the illegitimate child is the oldest, the right of inheritance will be lower, and it will be ranked behind all children born to all legal couples, including girls.
bite!
The mission is completed!
Reward: 1 energy point.
Because the system rewards an additional kiwi fruit for the first time the task is released. The redemption mall has been opened.
Suddenly, a systemic sound came from Geweis's mind. Geweis was shocked, but now there are so many people on the scene, he dared not act rashly, so he could only press his excitement. He had to wait until everything was over and find a place where no one was before checking.
When the pastor presided over the wedding, he walked down the platform under the guidance of his servant, and instead Alice stood in the middle of the platform and faced everyone below the audience.
"Thank you all for attending tonight's banquet. Now I have a few words to explain. I know that some of you may hold grudges against Gervis because of what happened tonight, but now he has married me. I don't want any of you to do childish and extraordinary things in the future. If anyone does this, it is provoking the dignity of my Jones family. I hope you can remember it."
Alice spoke neatly and without any delay. Especially she understood that the juniors among the retainers had regarded Gevis as their enemies, so she solemnly warned that his words were said to those young people.
Although she and Gevis are just nominal couples, as her husband, if someone among her retainers makes things difficult for him or slanders behind his back, it will be considered a crime of being the following. The nobles can tolerate their subordinates oppressing civilians and looting their neighbors, but they will never allow them to commit crimes, because this is the bottom line and represents the common interests of all nobles of all sizes.
If someone really doesn't know the importance of the matter, then Alice will find justice for Gevis whether she wants or not. Now she is just in case to avoid future trouble.
When everyone below heard Alice's words, the faces of everyone, including all the Barons Viscount, were the same. They obviously agreed with Alice's words. Although those young men, although they were quite jealous of Gervis and did not diminish their hatred at all, they did not dare to look at Gervis anymore.
Hearing Alice's words, Geweis couldn't help but look up at the 20-year-old countess. It was indeed a veteran nobleman. Alice had the aura of such a superior person at the age of twenty. However, why did Geweis feel more and more like she was kept by the Countess? This style is not right. I am a man, right? Geweis felt a little disgusted.
But I am still a little grateful to Alice, which will help him avoid a lot of trouble in the future. Although all these hatreds were brought by Alice for him, they can't stand the good words.
No matter which world it is, people with outstanding appearance will be more likely to gain recognition from others than ordinary people.
After saying that, Alice changed her tone, and she continued, "Gevis has no title yet, but since she has become my husband, I will give him the title of baron, and will give him the territory of the territory from the Dead Leaf River to the Forest of Ghosts to him as his baron!"
Buzz...
As soon as Alice finished speaking, noisy talk sounded from the audience. Everyone was whispering.
"From the Killed Leaf River to the Dark Forest? There was a Viscount Corps there before? This territory is too big!"
"Yes, Viscount Marjol, but that was more than thirty years ago. Since the Viscount Marjol family was captured by orcs in winter and all the people of the Machol family were killed by orcs, it has been abandoned and no matter how big it is, it is useless."
"The dark forest is too dangerous. The dealer can only plant one season a year, and even people cannot support them. Although there is an area of the size of a viscount, the population seems to be less than two thousand."
"But the Viscount Castle over there seems to be still there. Although it is a little dilapidated, it is better than having to pay for money to build it yourself."
“…”
Some young people who didn't know the inside story were bleeding when they heard that Gevis not only could embrace the beauty, but also had a title and a territory. But when they heard the elders' comments, they felt a little better. Although Gevis had obtained the territory, that territory was too dangerous and could not develop output at all. The territory that could not develop output means that it could not be maintained, and the territory that could not be maintained is useless.
Gervis stood behind Alice, and everyone in the audience was talking. Although he didn't hear it very clearly, he occasionally heard a lot of words such as orcs, castles being broken, and winter. The more he heard it, the worse his face became.
I was so happy that I could not find Bei when I heard that I had obtained the baron and had a fiefdom. Thinking about it, I would be a nobleman in the future, and I could live a shameless life, so I could do what I wish. Unexpectedly, before I was excited for two seconds, I fell down from the clouds again.
"God, are you playing with me? There are not enough twists and turns. How much is this?" Gervis had the urge to cry.
Alice was not in a hurry, and didn't care about the noise in the audience. She waited for more than a minute. The Barons of the Viscounts and Barons in the audience finally finished their discussion and the audience quieted down. The Earl was still standing on the stage, and there must be something to say later. They didn't dare to let the Earl wait too long.
After there was no more discussion in the audience, Alice continued: "Thank you all for your hard work today to come to Rose Castle for dinner. Now that my wedding with Gevis has been completed, I am a little tired, so I will not entertain you anymore. Let Gevis come to entertain you, please do whatever you want!"
Although Alice's words sound rude, the Barons and Viscounts knew that Alice's words were true. The old Count suddenly disappeared and the new Count rushed to inherit the title. There must be many things to deal with.
After saying that, Alice came to Gevers and whispered: "You stay here to entertain them first, and I will send someone to find you later!"
Then, surrounded by maids, he left the hall. It was like a gust of wind, coming and going quickly, and Korugweis stood on the stage and was heartbroken alone.
After the Countess left, everyone did not need Gevis to entertain him. The hall became noisy in an instant. Both young and middle-aged people walked to the long table full of food and began to taste the food.
Especially those young people, they look like they turn grief and anger into strength. After all, they are rare to eat so many delicious foods. At the beginning, they were in order to maintain their image. Now that the famous flowers have their masters, they don’t have to continue to disguise themselves. In fact, they are so upset that they hate why they are not being noticed by the count like Gevis.
There were viscounts and barons in the field. Gevis felt that he did not have the ability to entertain them, and he was in a good mood. He was happy to see that everyone was already eating on their own.
"Gevis, I'm proud of you! Why don't you seem to be very happy? Be happy, you are the protagonist tonight!" Just as Gevis was sad alone, Gandalf walked over with a breeze on his face and said happily to Gevis. He didn't expect that so many good things would hit his son together.
"Father, what's going on with my territory?" Hearing his father's words, Gevis did not answer anything else, but hurriedly asked about the territory.
"Oh, my timid Gevis, I said why you are not happy? It turns out that you are worried about the territory. Don't worry. Although your territory is a little trouble, you don't have to worry so much. The danger is only in the winter season, and other times, your territory is as safe as the Gaelic Collar."
Gandalf was very burly and a junior silver knight with a loud voice. Hearing Gevis' words, he couldn't help but pat Gevis' arm and laughed loudly.
After being patted by Gandalf, Gervis almost jumped up. His father was unreliable and he was just an apprentice knight. Can he be a silver knight? He can't take it if he slapped his arm and broke it.
"But……"
