Chapter 130 Marriage?
John returned to the apartment and poured the letters in the cloth bag onto the table. After looking at the letters piled on the table, John roughly estimated that there were at least thirty letters.
So John picked one at random, took out the letter from the envelope and read it carefully. In the end, John concluded that this was a love letter written by a young girl, with very basic words and even some wrong words, which gave people the impression that the writer was probably underage.
John put the letter back into the envelope, and then took out another letter. This time the letter used a lot of words from the poetry collection, and the language was more delicate. It can be seen that the writer has a certain cultural foundation, which made John feel a little good about him.
But John would definitely not go to find the person directly according to the letter. He only had a little impression of her, but it was still a long way from liking her. John opened another letter with a strong perfume smell. After opening it, John knew that it was written by a woman who was at least 30 years old or older. Especially the sentence "Let you experience the happiness of an adult man" made John feel that this might not be a love letter, but more like a small card that suddenly appeared at the door of the hotel room in his previous life.
Looking at the letter on the table, John thought it was time to find a professional to handle the matter. So an hour later, Count Milo came to the apartment under John's guidance.
Count Milo simply glanced at the envelope and said to John:
"Earl John, these people are not suitable for you. If you receive such love letters in the future, just ignore them."
"Is there any problem with this?" John asked, looking at the letters:
"Obviously, these letters all look exactly the same from the outside."
"The reason is that these letters are too ordinary." Count Milo interrupted John.
"If she is a daughter of a noble family, she will print her family crest on the envelope. If the family she belongs to is large enough, her family will send a messenger to your residence in a carriage and ring the doorbell respectfully. After seeing you, they will hand you the letter with both hands. This is worthy of your current status. It is not an ordinary letter that is the same as weeds."
"That's not the case. I read a few letters and there are still some girls I like," John defended.
"Do you care about the height, size, and shape of the weeds on the roadside? Now you only look at them when they fly into your house. In my opinion, you should just order people to take turns guarding the door in the future. This way, you won't see these letters and save time." Count Milo suggested after refuting. However, seeing John's hesitation, Count Milo seemed to understand something and advised:
"If you don't want to get married right now, then don't worry. Although there are many people like you who are engaged or married at your age, as a noble, you should consider yourself and your family more. But it's best for you to have a daughter you like and the other family agrees to marry before you are 22 years old."
"Count Milo, I would like to ask when did you get married?" John asked a question at this time, because as far as John knew, Count Milo's eldest son who worked in the army was only in his early twenties. Based on Count Milo's current age, it can be concluded that Count Milo definitely did not get married before the age of twenty-two.
"Well, I got married when I was twenty-five, but for special reasons," Count Milo explained.
While the two were discussing, a White Wolf Knight entered the living room from outside and said to John:
"Sir, someone claiming to be a representative of the royal family has come to visit you."
After hearing this, John said to Count Milo:
"Excuse me, Count Milo. I'm going to see if the king has any instructions for me."
John walked quickly to the entrance of the apartment and saw a carriage with the Midland royal emblem parked nearby. A royal messenger wearing a blue and white robe with gold edges was waiting. After seeing John, the messenger said:
"Lord John, His Majesty the King has ordered me to give you an invitation. There will be a banquet tonight in the dining room of the palace."
"Why, what's there to celebrate?" John asked.
"This is a great event. His Majesty the King's child was born. Although it is a girl, the King loves the child very much and is holding a banquet to celebrate the birthday of Her Royal Highness the Princess." The royal envoy replied.
"Oh, that's great. So what is Her Royal Highness's name?" John asked with a smile.
"Because she was just born, the king has not yet named her. Sir John, I will go and deliver a letter to the other lords first. I hope you can attend the banquet on time." After the royal messenger finished speaking, he got on the carriage, and the wheels rumbled as it drove away into the distance.
After John returned to the living room and told Count Milo about the king celebrating the princess' birthday, Count Milo's eyes lit up and he said to John:
"This is a good opportunity. The daughters of all the big families will appear at the banquet. You can take this opportunity to find the daughter you like and have a conversation with her. Maybe you can find someone who shares the same ideals with you."
John thought this was true, so he agreed to Count Milo's request, and after seeing him off, he took out a dress that he had only worn a few times from the hanger.
"A little tight."
After John chose a suit, he said that after all, more than a year had passed and John had grown a lot taller than before. Fortunately, the tailor had foresight and made an adult version for John, which now fit John better.
At night, carriages drove in from the palace gate, and those who got off were either powerful nobles or celebrities from all walks of life. Originally, the palace was not open to commoners, but the current king changed the law, and as long as a banquet was held in the palace, commoners who received an invitation could enter.
These people either chatted with other nobles with their families or laughed and chatted with several daughters in the palace. Some of them wanted to strengthen their relationship with various factions, and some wanted to get acquainted with friends who were also the first heirs of the family so as to cooperate in the future. Only John entered the palace alone, as if he no longer needed to do such hypocritical tricks.
When the banquet was about to begin, King Mitlan walked down from the second floor to the center of the stairs and said to the guests:
"Dear guests, thank you for attending this banquet. Perhaps it is God's blessing on Midland. When the front line was reporting victory news, a lovely girl was born in my family. This banquet is prepared for her. I hope you can have fun at this banquet."
After watching the couples of men and women walk hand in hand to the center of the restaurant and start dancing, John couldn't help himself, so...
He headed to the area where all kinds of meat and seafood were served. After all, the king had said that it was time to have fun here, so John could get down to business after he had eaten and drunk well.
"Hmm, it's still the same taste." John said after cutting a piece of steak and putting it in his mouth to chew. The juice of the beef combined with the spices exploded in John's mouth. This was the second time John experienced this delicious taste. The last time was during the triumphal ceremony.
"Hey." Just then, John saw two old acquaintances, Savile and Anderson, surrounded by a group of girls and looked very popular.
"Maybe I also need to take the initiative." Thinking of this, John prepared to go over and take a look.
At this time, the door next to it was pushed open, and a maid in a maid outfit shouted to the people in the restaurant:
"Ladies, you can go see Her Royal Highness the Princess now!"
"I'm going!"
"I also need to go!"
All the young girls present rushed outside. Even the girls surrounding Savile and the others went to see the little princess. After all, one could fall in love with a boy many times, but seeing the little princess was only once.
So when John arrived, there were no girls left in the restaurant.
"Forget it, I've missed the opportunity again." John thought about it and decided to just treat this banquet as a place for eating, drinking and having fun, so he went to the dining area to feast.
Late at night, in the king's bedroom, the king and his wife looked lovingly at the sleeping girl in the crib, and the princess asked the king:
"What should we name this child?"
The king thought about it and said with determination:
"She is our most precious and lovely sweetheart, so let's call her Charlotte. I hope she can have a sweet smile in the future."
