Chapter 129 Small City

"Do you feel uncomfortable?" Rotia asked.

"No, I just... feel heartache." The little girl answered reluctantly. Almost the next moment, when she remembered what happened today, tears appeared in her eyes again.

"Heart hurt?" Of course, a person like Rotia guessed the truth at once. "I remember... Ashu Rufate came back yesterday. Have you seen him this morning?"

The little girl lowered her head and let out the little girl's aggrieved whimper.

"He...he...he actually has a wife, and there are four!" The next moment, she couldn't control her emotions and finally burst out.

"What did you say?" Rotia was a little surprised. "What wife?"

"Ashu Rufat! He has four wives!"

"Ah..." Rotia himself was stunned. "To be honest, I really don't know... what he said? Or what others told you?"

"He said it himself."

"You mean...he said he had four wives? Four?" Rotia thought, "Strange, this is not right."

"Wow... he admitted it personally! He wants one of them to come here to act as the Minister of Finance!"

"But... I remember he told me that he was unmarried." Rotia sighed. "To be honest, if he was really married, then he would definitely bring his family to Eagle City to take office. He is not short of that much money..."

"The four are his fiancée!" The little girl raised her head and burst into tears. Her expression was half sad and half angry. "It's so vulgar, too lewd and shameless!"

"Ahhh... This, it doesn't seem like a special thing for a noble to marry multiple wives." Seeing the little girl's expression, Rotia wanted to laugh a little, but for some reason she couldn't laugh. "Well, for example, our mother-in-law... she is..."

Everyone knows that the mother-in-law is the mistress of the little girl's grandfather. It is logical that this matter can be attributed to one thing, but it is obvious that a girl like the little girl who suffers from her first love will not make any sense.

"Mother-in-law is a mother-in-law, and it has nothing to do with this matter. In short, Ashu Rufate is too much, I must..."

"It is a privilege for a nobleman to marry multiple wives and concubines. Isn't it that you named him a nobleman?"

"If I had known that he was such a debauchery and shameless person, I would never have enthroned him no matter what!" the little girl said firmly.

"What about his advice?"

"Of course it's a quarrel!" the little girl said viciously. "How can I let such a woman be my Minister of Finance! Even if she is an agent, it's not possible!"

"To be honest, your majesty, I don't think you should look at this question like that." Rotia replied. "You said, if you reject this candidate, will that woman come to Hawk City?"

"This... probably won't be there." The little girl thought for a while and replied.

"It would be better to let her come here to see what kind of woman she is, and ask her why she wanted to become Ash Rufate's fiancée. To be honest, this matter itself reveals something strange."

"Why is it strange?"

"Well, Your Majesty, in my personal experience, it is very common for a man to fall in love with a woman, and he can be seen everywhere. To say that a man falls in love with two women at the same time... Well, according to a philosopher, the spiritual realm of a man is actually very broad, and an object may not be filled. So it is not uncommon for a man to fall in love with two women at the same time. But it is extremely rare for a man to fall in love with three women at the same time... As for a man to fall in love with four women at the same time... at least I have never seen it in the Eagle City for so many years. Even if it is not a last resort, it is at least unprecedented."

"You mean..." A glimmer of light flashed in the little girl's eyes.

"Marriage is not necessarily autonomous," Rotia replied. "I believe you will understand. Do you know who his fiancée are? I mean pointing out the origins of the body."

"Well, it is said that it seems to be from the Griffin family... people should be women in a certain side-segment, who do not even have the status of a noble. It seems that the two sisters married him together." When he said this, the little girl still gritted her teeth.

She told Rotia about what she knew about Asu Ruffat's engagement. These things were told by her mother-in-law. In fact, there was no special secret, but the little queen hadn't inquired. It should be said that she had never considered this before, otherwise she would have known it long ago. Of course, for girls of her age, they were not so comprehensive.

"The Griffin family...ah, this name sounds familiar. By the way, isn't it the famous family that calls itself the side branch of the royal family?"

"What royal family members are they bragging about themselves." The little girl sneered. "According to the records of the Mark Remiz family, they just had a marriage with the ancestors of the Mark Remiz family. That's something that has gone back to many generations. The people of the Griffin family just like to brag and raise their own value. To be serious, no matter how they are considered as inheritance, it's not the turn of the Griffin family."

Although Groney was founded for only a hundred years, the royal family, that is, the Markremiz family, has a much longer history and has been passed down for hundreds of years. The same is true for the Griffin family. However, at present, there is a clear difference between the two families. Although the Markremiz family is Groney's royal family, its population has withered. The reason why the little queen can become a queen underage is entirely because of the blessing of this matter - because other suitable heirs are even still nurturing. The Griffin family is flourishing and prosperous, not only in Groney, but also in Tiberius.

"Speaking of this, I wouldn't be surprised if Ashu Rufate made a marriage for the sake of his future." Rotia said. "Sometimes, there is nothing I can do about it."

For some reason, the little girl suddenly thought of some things Ash Rufate said to her in the past about the engagement, which made her stunned.

"…Sometimes the only way is to marry someone else's marriage partner." At that time, Ashu Rufate seemed to say to her. Could it be that he was inspired?

"And," Rotia looked at the little girl and said the last sentence. "There is a fundamental difference between the fiancee and the wife. If the wife has no legal reason, she cannot get divorced. And if the fiancée... that is a completely different situation. Even if the engagement is unilaterally terminated, it is not impossible."

...

At dusk, the entire town was shrouded in the golden light of the setting sun.

Since it had just rained heavily last night, the grasslands on the outskirts of the city were still three times wet, and the roads were all dry. In the horse market in the suburbs, horse dealers were fighting for the last transaction in a day.

An old woman in her 60s and wearing a dark gray dress became the target of competition. The old woman did not wear a hat, her hair was tied into a circle on the back of her head according to tradition, and several uniformed servants were surrounded by her. Although she did not wear any eye-catching jewelry, the servants around her were the best description of her identity and property.

If Ashu Rufate was present, he would immediately recognize the old woman as Countess Marian, or another name, Aunt Mary.

"Madam, my horse is strong and can travel for a long time..."

"These horses I have excellent bloodline, and their endurance is excellent, so you can..."

The merchant tried his best to promote his horse. When Countess Marianne came to the horse market, she made it clear that she had to go out for a long trip, so she needed two horses with strong physiques, especially outstanding endurance.

Although Brassian is a small town, it is an increasingly prosperous city. There are actually some outstanding horses in the horse market on the outskirts of the city. The competition for customers lasted for a while, but in the end, a horse merchant took the lead and sold his two horses for a good price.

Although the entire Groney Kingdom has been changing for a while, for this remote small city, nothing seems to have changed much. The only thing to say is that everyone is a little confused about the changes in the situation, so the whole city seems a little confused from top to bottom.

In fact, it is not just not coming to Xi'an, but the entire county and even the entire province are in such a state of confusion. The entire Groney is now divided and they are in their own right. Although there is no sign of a civil war at present, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this war is probably inevitable.

In terms of position, Bracian is undoubtedly the little queen who supports the city of Hawks. Unfortunately, it is too far away from Hawks, and it is also cut off by the territory of several "rebellious" lords. If a war really occurs, it will completely cut off contact with Hawks, so it cannot provide any help to the queen. Of course, even if it is close to Hawks, the help it can provide is limited.

However, this city, which was originally destined to be unknown, now seems to have a certain connection with the storm. This connection comes from two aspects. On the one hand, it is the Governor of Brassian and Marquis Alin. The old man was a former Minister of Internal Affairs. He was once considered to have been to the small town of Brassian for retirement, but now he has received a secret order from the Queen, asking him to hand over his post as Governor and to rush to the City of Eagle and Falcon. Legend has it that he will be appointed as the new Prime Minister.

On the other hand, from Ashu Rufate, a local squire nobleman from Brasian (Ahu Rufate is also considered a local because he is a "married man") showed his performance in helping the Queen defeat the rebels and has been appointed as the Minister of Finance. The Minister of Finance is sometimes called the Minister of Finance and Taxation. Even those who know nothing about politics can understand the importance of this position from this name.

Countess Marian left the city with satisfaction. Her carriage did not turn around and go home, but headed towards the gate of the small city. Before the sunset had passed, her carriage came to the gate of the Governor's Mansion in the center of the small city.

The old woman did not come to visit her suddenly. When she got off the car, the listener from the gate of the Governor's Mansion came up enthusiastically. They had known that the old woman was coming.

"Is Marquis Alinn here?" Aunt Mary asked the servant who came to meet.

"The Governor is waiting for you in his reception room." The servant replied.
