Chapter 1685: Gift

The elder named Liya held up a teacup, which was overflowing with the fragrance of tea. She was stirring the cup with a silver spoon in one hand, and said, "Grand Duke, do you know what the consequences will be if you do this?"

She called Elise the Grand Duke and pointed out the seriousness of the problem. How could Elise not know, and said softly: "From then on, the Shiley and Boleyn families will turn against each other. Even if the previous relationship is maintained on the surface relationship, but deep down, something must have changed."

"That's right, but the grand duke of the southern border is also a good choice. This grand duke is young and promising, and his military power is prosperous. It can be seen that he will be a celebrity in the empire for the next ten years. Apart from lack of background, there is no other problem. If the Bolin family If you marry him, the prospects of the family will not be bad." The elder paused and said, "But, I don't know if that grand duke will really marry you. Tell me, grand duke, you are in love with each other. Or impromptu acting?"

Alice said frankly: "I don't want to marry Nor Peter, so I asked Grand Duke Alan to do me a favor."

Elder Lia closed her eyes with an expression as expected.

Alice stood up and said loudly: "Elder Lia, why can't I choose the person I like. If I married Nuo Peter for the sake of the family, then I can also earn more honor and power for the family. You don’t necessarily need to rely on marriage as a way to get support.”

"I know, Grand Duke, you are very capable. Arranging the prime minister and princess to leave the imperial capital at that time has fully demonstrated your ability, and then assisted His Majesty Julian to restore. Before the return of Grand Duke Allen, our Boleyn family has hidden as the head of the Duke. " Liya said solemnly: "But you are always a woman. If you are a man, then we don't have to worry about you so much. As a woman, especially a woman from the Boleyn family, you should be very clear about your obligations What is it? Today you can reject Noble Peter, but there are still three grand dukes and many nobles. You have to choose one to marry, so as to continue the blood of our Bolin family. More importantly, if the target is a family like the Shi Lei family , then our family can win at least ten years, or even more time."

"You don't have to be dissatisfied, let me ask you, how many years will it take you to earn one-third of the property of the Shi Lei family at once?"

Alice sneered and said, "It turns out that the Grand Duke is just a bitch who can be measured by money."

"Elizabeth!" The elder jumped up and said, "You are no longer a child. You were just self-willed before. How can you still be like this now?"

"Anyway, I won't sacrifice my own happiness casually!" Alice said loudly: "If I have to marry myself off to be worthy of the family, then you can ask someone else to do it, miss I quit!"

The elder was so angry that his chest heaved and he shook his head again and again. After waiting for a while,

She calmed down a bit, sat down and said, "You don't want to marry Nor Peter, is it because you have someone you like. Is it because you like Grand Duke Alan?"

Alice, who was still arrogant at first, blushed when she heard Elder Lia's words, turned her head away and said, "Do I need to report to the Elders Council who I like?"

Although she didn't answer directly, the answer was already very clear. Elder Li Ya shook his head and said, "Grand Duke Alan has such achievements at such a young age, it's no wonder you are tempted."

Alice whispered: "It's not like I fell in love with him just now."

The elder gave her a white look: "So, you already liked him before? It seems that a lot of things happened when you went to Gun City to watch the ceremony alone."

Alice was startled by a slip of the tongue, and simply shut her mouth and did not speak. Elder Lia said again: "But I heard a news that Grand Duke Alan may be"

She pointed to the ceiling.

Alice looked at it for a long time but couldn't see any way out, so she could only ask, "What could it be?"

"Heavenly man."

The Grand Duke's pupils shrank slightly, and Elder Lia continued: "If he is really a heavenly being, then you should understand how big the distance is between you and him. Take ten thousand steps back, if he is really If you have a heart for you, are you willing to give up your family for him?"

Alice was silent.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the elder said, "Come in." The housekeeper, Stum, pushed the door open and said to Alice, "Duke Allen sent something."

This time it was Alice who was stunned: "What?"

Sturm stepped forward and put down a long box in his hand. Open the box and inside is a scroll. Sturm took it out, put the scroll on the table and pulled it out, it turned out to be a map. The elder and Alice walked over, and it turned out to be a map of the southern border of the empire, on which a territory was circled with a pen, and this territory impressively included cities like Sardinia.

Elder Lia looked up and asked, "This is?"

"I heard that this is the map that Fort Dawn just sent to the Grand Duke's residence. His Majesty personally circled the territory of Grand Duke Alan on the map. The attendant who sent this map said that this map was given to Grand Duke Takuta Grand Duke Alan also said that if he doesn't think he is poor, all his territories or cities can be chosen by the Boleyn family at will, as a gift for his engagement to Grand Duke Tsubaki!"

"What?"

Elder Ellis and Elder Lia exclaimed in unison. Ellis was surprised that Allen actually planned to actually get engaged to her, and she was surprised and delighted at once. Elder Lia was surprised that Grand Duke Alan was so generous, he directly took his own territory and let the Bolin family choose it. Of course, the most valuable thing in this vast territory is Sardinia City. As for this city, it is far more than one-third of the property of the Shi Lei family.

Stam also couldn't help laughing: "This Grand Duke, very good. Very good, I like him, hehe."

In the lodge arranged by Julian for Allen, Allen, who had just showered and changed clothes, came to the bedroom and saw Lucy and Laura talking, and chuckled from time to time. He walked over and said, "Say something happy, tell me too."

Lucy stood up and said, "I did something for you, and I want to hear how you thank me."

"What have you done?"

"I helped you agree to be engaged to Grand Duke Tsuma, and I also took the territory map that I just sent from Fort Dawn to Duke Bolin's mansion to show the sincerity of our Grand Duke Ellen."

Allen was drinking water, and almost spit out the water when he heard this. He smiled wryly and said, "Are you really doing this? I've said it all, I was just doing Elise a favor at the banquet, and I didn't take it seriously."

Lucy looked at Laura, and both women shook their heads. Laura said, "Are you really confused or are you so stupid that you can't even see what Elise is thinking?"

"That is, if she didn't really like you, would she say that she is your fiancee in public? She is the Grand Duke of Tsutahua, how could she do such a thing that damages her reputation." Lucy rolled her eyes and said.
