Chapter 613 The Perfect Destination
This ladder of glory is already a legend.
Many people have seen it, and many legends have been spread.
Smith was very curious, because according to legend, this was the heroic spirit of the knight, which remained in the armor and protected the Augusta family forever.
The public firmly believes that when the empire is threatened, these dead knights will return again, put on their armor again, and fight for the empire.
Of course, this is already in the realm of fantasy, but there is no guarantee that most people are willing to believe this.
So Smith was also very curious and felt like he was witnessing history.
All the way up, the second floor is the guest room. Many famous figures in the empire have lived here.
Whether it is the old Marquis, the young Count Jefferies, or the famous God of Death Simon, they have all been guests here.
With the fortune of the Augusta family, the entire Swan Castle is full of legendary charm and color.
Folk fantasy stories all have the scenery of Swan Castle.
The large terrace on the third floor is the queen's favorite place.
The sunroom supported by an alloy frame has constant temperature facilities all year round. No matter what time it is, she can lie here and enjoy the scenery outside Swan Castle.
Whether it's windy, rainy, windy, snowy or thundering.
It is really a beautiful thing to make a pot of tea and enjoy a peaceful afternoon.
Of course, you can also set up small tables as you do now, sit down and enjoy a lunch, getting close and relaxing.
There are many dining options to choose from here.
Qin sat down next to the Smiths and introduced them to each other.
"At noon, you can choose self-service barbecue, hot pot or stir-fry dishes. They are all available here. If you find it troublesome, you can ask the waiter to help."
Qin chose a serious meal, beckoned to the waiter who was waiting on the side, and ordered a few side dishes.
Of course, he actually prefers barbecue, but today's occasion is very important, so he chose to be conservative.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith immediately chose the same dining method as him. They were still a little reserved on this occasion.
Instead, Claire asked for a small pot and asked Gwen to pull her small table to her side, and the two sat down to eat together.
The second eldest brother, Hans and Derek, both chose barbecue, lit the charcoal fire, and were grilling the meat vigorously.
The queen chose to eat lightly and maintain a good posture.
But overall, the atmosphere is quite good.
After eating a few bites, Qin called the photographer and asked him to take a group photo for everyone.
Smith straightened his back a little cautiously, feeling uncomfortable all over.
Derek stuffed the freshly baked barbecue into his mouth and said, "Today's dinner will be published in the newspaper tomorrow. We just took the opportunity to finalize the marriage of our two children, and there will be a lot of talk outside the province."
Smith just said: "I listen to your Majesty."
Tiona also put down the tableware and said: "Thank you to the two of you for raising such an outstanding woman as Claire. On behalf of Qin, I formally ask you for your daughter. I hope you can agree."
"Of course I agree," Smith said without hesitation: "My little girl is naughty and fortunate enough to be valued by the royal family. This is an honor that cannot be obtained."
No matter how outstanding your daughter is, this marriage is a high priority.
Even if he was reluctant, Smith couldn't show any hesitation.
The world is so big that it cannot be bigger than the empire.
The most precious thing in the world is nothing more than royal blood.
This is reality. Let alone equality, this thing has never existed.
Derek also spoke: "Actually, Claire feels wronged for marrying Qin. She is a smart woman with wisdom that is inferior to ordinary people. Even if she does not marry Qin, she can still achieve something.
Therefore, this marriage is definitely not a low-level marriage in my family and will give the highest importance. "
Derek made his attitude clear and promised that Claire would not be wronged.
Marry a virtuous wife, and other things are secondary.
It would be a joke if such a woman was looked down upon simply because of her birth.
Derek knew that Qin's qualifications were the right ones.
Even if he cheated on him, he could only make up for his abilities and not change his character.
Sometimes, Qin seems naive and immature in thinking.
In contrast, Claire was the one who got a trick from God and made it all the way to Hadley University.
As for meeting Qin, it's hard to say who suffered more.
However, marriage is an important matter that cannot be discussed at all. You can just agree with me.
Smith was really moved. It was very rare for the emperor to express his stance like this.
The fact that the royal family could do this left him speechless.
Otherwise, even if it is an imperial edict, can he resist it?
At this moment, he was sure that Claire had found a good home, at least she would not be wronged in the future.
This is actually enough.
There are few women in this world who dare to say that they will not be wronged after marriage.
Regardless of his manners, he stood up and saluted: "Thank you for your favor, Your Majesty."
"Sit down, sit down, isn't this what parents should do? You are a father, and I am a father too. I can understand what you are thinking."
Derek seemed very reasonable, and only then did the two families begin to eat and drink in complete harmony.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith relaxed and felt less tense.
Claire kept smiling and said nothing. She never thought that one day she would marry into the royal family.
In fact, she had never considered her marriage before meeting Qin.
At first, she only knew that Qin was a nobleman, and she thought her father could hold the fort for her.
Fortunately, kind people have good luck, and this is the best destination.
As smart as she is, she also feels happy at this time.
After dinner, Derek kept the Smiths to discuss the wedding date and chat.
Qin and Claire took their younger brothers and sisters and ran out of the castle happily.
For the children of the royal family, a weekend of complete freedom to play is actually a luxury.
Hans is better. He is now receiving training as a reserve knight in the Knights' Order and has a little freedom.
But little Gwen is miserable. She has full courses every day. She has to learn what ordinary people learn, and she also has to learn what ordinary people don't learn.
In addition to astronomy, geography, mathematics, and literature, she has to learn etiquette, riding, accounting, and so on.
Why the noble ladies of the North have always been the perfect wives sought after by the upper class is inseparable from this elite education.
For nobles, marrying a noblewoman from the North is not only a symbol of status, but also a wise wife. Even if the family is in trouble, the noblewoman from the North can support the family's prestige.
These noblewomen from the North, who have strong family backgrounds and excellent personal qualities, can even go into battle in armor. They can fight against foreign enemies and ensure the normal alternation of family bloodline power.
Therefore, the enhanced education of the noblewoman from the North drove little Gwen crazy.
She didn't try to avoid studying before, but now that she met Claire, she couldn't even think of avoiding cultural classes.
When she got the chance, she rode the little red horse like a wild horse and ran away.
