Chapter 31 Tournament and Banquet

On the temporary set up arena.

The two Green Forest warriors collided fiercely, fighting with more primitive weapons.

None of them wore armor, and they could see well-developed muscles, hideous scars, and various tattoos.

It is not very accurate to say that it is a tattoo. Aaron knows that the ancient "green forest warriors" like to use green or blue dyes to smear their body and face to make simple patterns.

To this day, this custom is still circulating in the green forest.

Although he didn't think the green and blue guy on his face was terrifying, it was said that it could effectively deter the enemy.

Once, these 'green barbarians' were the nightmare of the northern lords of the Kargash Kingdom!

boom!

Just when he was in a trance, on the ring, a bearded warrior had knocked down his opponent with a stone axe, and was roaring at the audience, showing his muscles.

"very good!"

On the high platform, Theodore raised his hand and announced loudly: "The winner of this competition is Merkdo from the barren land!"

Aaron looked around boredly. On the high platform, Mrs. Sonia, Ginny, Sean, and even Colin were there.

This competition was originally held to celebrate the birth of a new generation of heirs.

It is worth mentioning that Silvi also survived, and according to Ginny, the degree of recovery is very good, and there are no symptoms such as postpartum infection. It seems that allicin still plays a role.

In fact, Aaron didn't have much confidence at that time. He could only say that the other party was lucky this time.

...

night.

A grand banquet was held in the castle.

A golden suckling pig was placed in the middle of the long table with an apple in its mouth, surrounded by various sumptuous meals.

Aaron was holding a glass of wine, and he didn't like the hustle and bustle of the banquet.

You must know that the nobles at this time were very savage and open, and even banquets were a good place to exchange feelings.

Some men and women who met for the first time could not wait, flirting and flirting, and even began to make an appointment to meet in the garden or in the servant's room...

All in all, a smoky mess.

Well, among them are the daughters of knights who want to 'hunt' Aaron, and even the wives of knights come over to show their hospitality, which makes him a little annoying.

"Haha, my child, you are still as shy as before, unable to adapt to this kind of scene."

Theodore walked over with a smile, and the people around him moved away, obviously knowing that the Count wanted to have a heart-to-heart with his second son.

"You should learn more about Colin, and he'll get used to it."

Opening from a woman can quickly bring the atmosphere of chatting between men closer.

However, Theodore's use of this opening statement made Aaron feel a sense of courtesy and importance.

He smiled slightly: "Colin is a very good heir, um, if you are a little more humble... Father, do you have anything to do with me?"

This straightforward way made Theodore frown, and then said: "You are seventeen years old, it is time to think about marriage, um... According to Kagash's side, the earl can canonize low-level nobles, Maybe you should also mention the title, although it won't increase the fief, but it sounds better."

In the Kargash Kingdom, barons and viscounts, etc., did not actually have the power to confer a noble, even a knight.

This kind of power requires at least the earl, so the earl is often regarded as the real ruler of a party and the threshold of the great aristocracy.

Of course, if the baron and the viscount insist on canonization and separate their own territory, then the official document will be sent and it will be approved.

If they have a subordinate count, the person in charge of approval is the count.

If not, it is directly under the king, and the report will be sent directly to the king's desk.

Under normal circumstances, the big nobles will not refuse, after all, this is the self-weakening of the small nobles.

Of course, in Green Forest, things are a little different.

This place is vast and sparsely populated. In fact, the fiefs of many knights are large enough to make their counterparts in the kingdom jealous.

For example, Aaron, his territory can be reclaimed, and the area is comparable to a baron in the kingdom, but there is not as much population.

And the previous Theodore too, he prefers to call himself a lord rather than a baron noble.

So, Aaron knew very well that this was not what Theodore was really trying to say.

‘I always feel that after ruling the Green Forest, Theodore has changed a little bit, and is more political? ’

He groaned inwardly and said, "It would be my great honor to have your canonization, but I haven't found the lady I really like..."

"That's a pity, but maybe you can consider the 'goat girl' of the Kargash Kingdom?" Theodore said.

The lords of the Kagash Kingdom are cowardly and not good at fighting, and are often ridiculed by the Green Forest nobles as goat people, so their daughters are naturally goat girls.

"A political marriage?"

Aaron smiled: "If my father wants to completely integrate into Kagash, then this is a good way..."

"I'm still thinking about it. Fei Li once suggested this to me... but I always feel that something is wrong and there are traps."

Theodore Road.

In fact, if it was still before, he didn't need to discuss Aaron's marriage with his son, he would just decide and notify him.

However, Aaron at this time has another identity, which is his vassal, and needs to be negotiated instead.

But Aaron felt that this was also the other party's secondary purpose, and while having fun in his heart, he went along and chatted a few words.

At the end, Theodore finally seemed to say casually: "I heard that a brand-new farming method is used on your territory, and there is something called chemical fertilizer, which can double the yield per mu? Well, you have been growing up since you were a child. Good at invention and creation, the paper you made has sold well in the kingdom, and was robbed by wandering merchants..."

'After a long time, it turned out to be here? ’

Aaron nodded inwardly, his expression unchanged: "It's just a trivial improvement. If your father wants it, I'll have a good talk with your agricultural officer."

Theodore's expression suddenly became serious: "How can I covet my son, my vassal?"

However, with Aaron's persuasion, his expression gradually softened.

...

Soon after, Aaron returned to the room with a chuckle: "Is this the commonality of feudal monarchs? Always like to draw all good things into their own bowls?"

"However, I also got what I wanted."

In tonight's negotiation, he and Theodora made a 'political deal', specifically, the use of advanced farming techniques in exchange for the absolute autonomy of his marriage.

Theodore also hinted at the end that as long as he didn't marry a peasant girl, he could do whatever he wanted, or he could get married later.

This gave Aaron a sigh of relief. He didn't want to be forcibly arranged by Theodore like Colin.

At this time, looking at the gap in the door, he suddenly smiled: "Tia, come in!"
