Chapter 166
Chapter 166
"We are born into noble families, and our fate has been arranged from the beginning. We have no choice and are helpless.
Fiona, your father and His Majesty the King have already agreed on this wedding. It is not wise to refuse at this time.
Your father's decision may not be the most perfect, but it is usually a safer choice!"
Liz is still sitting in the carriage, trying hard to persuade her daughter Fiona. Even though Fiona is no longer as resistant to marriage as before, she still repeatedly reminds her worriedly.
The Laurent family's convoy slowly moves forward on the vast plain, and the wheels make a creaking sound when they pass over the newly repaired road.
The bluestone road surface is slightly flat, as if it is the future of a happy marriage, leading the convoy towards the Demacia capital.
The surrounding scenery is like a gorgeous painting, with lush green forests and endless vast plains.
The breeze blows the leaves gently, making a rustling sound, as if accompanying the convoy.
Fiona gently lifted the curtain of the carriage and cast her eyes towards the vast fields in the distance.
Along the way, she saw countless farmlands, where farmers worked hard, and each figure showed their love for the land.
Isn't this fighting for Demacia?
The breath of spring is like a warm torrent, spreading in the air and rippling extraordinary.
"Mother!"
Fiona's voice was firm, and her eyes flashed with expectations for the future.
"I understand! I will follow my father's wishes!"
At this moment, Fiona's heart was filled with inexplicable joy, like a light feather dancing in the breeze.
In Fiona's eyes, Sebastian, as a father, obviously didn't know how precious he promised her.
It was a secret, a secret that only she and her father knew, and this secret made her feel extremely excited.
It made her yearn for the future.
Mrs. Liz showed a trace of surprise on her face.
She obviously did not expect Fiona's attitude to change so quickly.
However, Liz also felt a little relieved.
After all, no matter what, it was a good thing that her daughter could accept the arrangement made by her father.
In all directions of this carriage team, the knights riding war horses were all heroic and majestic. They followed the carriages closely to protect the safety of the team.
These knights were carefully selected by Sebastian. They looked mighty and were the guards of honor needed for the wedding. They had both strength and appearance.
Demacia's transportation was well-connected, and its convenience far exceeded that of mountainous areas like Freljord.
The convenience along the way was not comparable to that of Freljord. Every few miles, there would be a small manor market in front of you.
It provided people on the road with an opportunity to rest and shop. These markets were filled with fresh fruits and vegetables, colorful and fragrant, for people to buy and eat.
Then the carriage crossed the sparkling Lisos River.
The river in the distance was still reflecting the sunlight, making the entire river look like a jade belt.
As for the carriage, only Fiona Laurent and Lady Liz, mother and daughter, were left.
They were still talking about the reluctance and sadness of Fiona's upcoming marriage in the carriage...
Oh, no, when Liz listened to Sebastian's detailed account of Jincheng and the situation of his marriage not long ago, the old mother didn't have to cry and say goodbye to her baby daughter.
What Liz should think about now is what gifts she needs to prepare in advance for this new descendant who suddenly appeared.
Laurent's second son Amuda, riding a tall horse with a vigorous posture, stood steadily at the front of the carriage.
As if swearing to the glory and majesty of the Laurent family.
And Count Sebastian, he couldn't wait to rush to Xiongdu in advance.
The brave young man is about to step into the door of the Laurent family. He is alone, and Sebastian will show his attention to his new family.
It is obviously unrealistic to let the royal family organize Jincheng's wedding.
Since Jincheng is destined to be named Laurent, Sebastian will naturally make careful arrangements for him.
Sebastian is thinking that he can take this opportunity to take the young man directly to the Laurent family's mansion in Xiongdu.
After all, everyone will be a family in the future, and he sincerely hopes to get along well with this young man and his daughter.
The team of carriages is getting farther and farther away, and the wheels are rolling.
The scenery along the way is showing the style of Demacia.
Occasionally, you can also glimpse the castles of other noble families, like a sea of magic needles, inlaid in this vastOn the ground.
These castles are either gray or brown.
They are built along the curve of the plain or against the low mountains.
The towering bastions stand tall, surrounded by circles of solid defensive outer walls, like loyal guards, silently guarding the peace of the castle.
At every distance, you can see arrow towers standing tall and crossbow carts being mounted on the wall.
What comes to you is an indescribable sense of heaviness and immortality.
This is the castle of the nobles, and also a fortress.
This is still good. On the border between Demacia and Noxus, such noble castles can be seen everywhere.
…
Jincheng, who had already received the news, is now waiting in the small town of Edessa outside the Demacia capital.
This is also what Jincheng meant. The young man has only signed the blood covenant of Freljord. That kind of contract only requires the blood of two people to blend with each other to represent the contract.
As for the Demacia aristocratic wedding, Jincheng, who didn't know much about it, treated it with caution.
He even prepared to go out of the city in advance to welcome the guests.
There were also four royal guards who followed behind Jincheng without saying a word. Obviously, Jarvan III also agreed with his importance of this.
This kind of welcoming team was obviously not grand, but things like marrying into the family did not need to be grand and known to everyone.
Until the noisy sound of horse hooves resounded through the city gate like thunder, breaking the original silence in the air.
Three horses galloped in like a flash of lightning.
The knights with whips saw the welcoming team from afar, and they slowed down at the same time.
The handsome and tall middle-aged nobleman in the lead was even more anxious.
He didn't even wait for the horse to stop completely, and he turned over and got off the horse swiftly, with a quick and neat movement.
At this moment, Jincheng naturally recognized his future father-in-law.
It is impossible to say that he is not nervous. This is the first time for Jincheng to meet his father-in-law.
"Lord Earl!" The four royal guards moved in unison and respectfully stepped forward to salute Sebastian.
But the middle-aged noble ignored them, and walked to the young man in two steps.
"Hello, uncle..." Jincheng remembered Jarvan IV's instructions and greeted Sebastian with a standard etiquette between nobles.
"Okay..." Sebastian, with a smile on his face, quickly reached out and helped Jincheng up.
He even took the initiative to straighten Jincheng's collar, and then the middle-aged man looked up curiously and carefully looked at his future son-in-law.
Then, Sebastian's face bloomed with a satisfied smile.
Obviously, the earl was very satisfied with this tall and handsome future son-in-law, and he also recognized that the other party's appearance was worthy of the name of Laurent.
"Very good! The young man is very good! Very strong! You should exercise regularly, right? Have you been on the battlefield?
You are a good match for our Laurent family! As your future lord and father-in-law, I like you very much!
You must remember that if there is anything that cannot be solved in the future, just come to me directly. I will make the decision for you."
Then Sebastian hugged Jincheng's shoulders nonchalantly to show his closeness, and then patted Jincheng's strong arm with satisfaction.
"Heh... Uncle, let's go back to Demacia and talk to him!"
Jincheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. He never expected that Fiona's father would treat him so well!
Sebastian didn't even plan to ride a horse, so he took Jincheng on foot towards the Demacia capital, talking and laughing as he walked.
The Earl asked enthusiastically:
"No problem! Let's go first, Jincheng...son-in-law, I will just call you by your name! You should have heard of my daughter Fiona, right?"
Jincheng nodded without hesitation, combined with the evaluation of the youngest daughter of the Laurent family in the aristocratic circle, and said rationally:
"Well, I have heard a little about your daughter's excellence. A gentleman loves a beautiful lady, otherwise I would not ask Your Majesty to help me propose marriage to you, the Earl!
I also admire the family style and philosophy of the Laurent family, especially for your uncle's deeds. I am full of yearning and respect."
That's right, in the aristocratic circle, Fiona Laurent's reputation is similar to that of the good girl Laxana Crown Guard.
So Jincheng didn't expect much at the time.
It's just that there are rumors that Fiona has fully inherited the swordsmanship of the Laurent family and can easily beat any man into a pig's head.
This situation is too exaggerated among the nobles.
Therefore, everyone is more willing to believe the former rumor.
"Hahaha! Good son-in-law! Yes! That's right, noble ladies, graceful ladies, gentlemen are the ideal match!
I andYou said that my daughter is an artist!
Jincheng, I have chosen you as my son-in-law! I will give you the name of Laurent! "Sebastian quickly started chatting with Jincheng with a big laugh.
Sebastian was also very satisfied with Jincheng's answer. It was obvious that the news he had actively spread for many years was still very effective.
Look, didn't someone believe it?
