Mercia has a milder climate than Northumbria, a larger population and wealth, and has long suppressed its northern neighbor.
In addition to Scotland, Vikings, and even Northumbria, the northern people in Berry's heart also included.
Apart from this innate sense of superiority and the fact that he had fought against each other, the most important reason is that Berry is now the new "Lincoln County Sheriff."
Oran had massacred Sheriff Lincoln, and although he was eventually reconciled by the king and the Confessor Amon, his reputation was still not small.
He absorbed the former Lincoln County Sheriff's retainers and part of the estate, and then turned around and got involved with the Sons of White Eagle. This was a stone to shoot himself in the foot.
Otto has no sense of cultural superiority and has nothing to do with Sheriff Lincoln.
However, there are very few people in this generation of the Perry family. As the head of the family, he originally hoped to marry his "widow sister" to an older sheriff of the kingdom.
But Kunsang's status is not high, his appearance is terrifying, and he has a reputation for being evil.
Apart from these, during the period of King Offa, Mercia had an unwritten rule that anyone who married a foreign noble needed to pay a marriage tax to the king.
This was King Offa's method to suppress the nobles so that they would not collude too much with foreign countries.
Recently, in response to the Vikings,
King Burgred not only collected the atonement scroll, but also activated this tax law.
The advantages of this marriage are not obvious, but the disadvantages are numerous.
Of course, the Olan camp is not without good candidates, such as Gliese, Nanding and others.
But it’s this Kunsang!
When the two county chiefs arrived in front of the king and princess, they showed humility to each other.
But the king intends to impose a marriage tax, no matter who marries him, it must be settled within one day.
Berry asked someone to give the king a box of heavy items overnight.
It is a "coin" issued by King Bergred himself.
Looking at his own profile picture, he accepted it with joy and directly named Sister Otto to marry Kunsang, a demon with a terrifying appearance and a vicious reputation.
In this way, he can collect taxes again.
And this behavior quickly raised Otto's dissatisfaction.
That night,
In the temporary manor of the nobles outside the royal court, Otto looked at his crying sister and wanted to send her away, but he was afraid of attracting censure from the king and other nobles.
"Brother, send me to the north. I will die. That man is too scary!"
"Stop crying, it's so noisy that I can't think straight."
Otto himself was extremely at odds with Berry.
Mercia held a tournament, and the poisonous Berry won both people and words.
Ridiculing Otto for having less strength than a woman, the seeds of hatred began to be planted.
He was so proud of himself, but when he thought about losing to Berry again this time, he drew his sword and chopped down the trees in the yard angrily.
The knights at the side of Otto were also fanning the flames, and their words were full of dissatisfaction with the king and the palace minister.
"When the former king of Northumbria died in battle, His Majesty told us nobles that as long as we donate, we can get the mineral mining rights in the three southern counties. If anyone resists, the kingdom's army will clear the way.
As a result, I backhand joined forces with Oran and King Ella, and all the money I paid went into his treasury!
Now he is still thinking about weakening me, and he doesn’t want to think about how my father helped him when he succeeded to the throne!"
"Sir, how about we go find Sir Amon?"
"He has long wanted to get my 'Chester County' and will not help us at all."
Otto was so angry that he simply pointed at one of his men and said, "You come and marry my sister. I will immediately find a priest to witness and write down the documents. Then I can see what other people have to say?"
People are selfish. Just now, I was standing next to the lord, filled with righteous indignation.
But when it was her turn to marry Otto's ordinary, untitled widow sister, and the possibility of facing the king's wrath, she was afraid.
"You bastards!"
The meeting ended amid insults.
The next day, at the dinner party between the king and the princess,
Oran, Kunsang, Otto, and his sister Hirsch were all present.
Oran sat at the rectangular main table, next to Princess Vianne and King Burgred.
Wei An was dressed up, and her body had a seductive floral fragrance.
During the meal, he hooked Olan's feet with his feet under the cover of the tablecloth.
He seemed to be smiling but not smiling during the conversation, and even moved his hands at the end...
Princess Wei An, this woman Oran has inquired about.
He was the cousin of Alfred, Crown Prince of Wessex, and cousin of King Æthelred.
This was a political marriage between Mercia and Wessex.
At first, Æthelred sent her cousin to break into Mercia, but she changed hands and betrayed her country's intelligence to her husband.
For a long time, wandering on both sides.
She lives a luxurious life and never wears the same item of clothing more than seven times.
Therefore, the women in the kingdom talk about her behind her back as "the woman whose wardrobe is never full."
When the king stood up to go to his convenience, the woman extended her hand towards Oran...
"Your Majesty, I love my wife very much, please take your hands away."
"Your Excellency, loyalty is the obligation of civilians, and dissipation is the nature of nobles. If you don't like me touching you, then you can take revenge by touching me."
"You are the princess, the most beautiful and noble woman in the kingdom. Your soul is extremely holy. Please don't tease me."
"Sir, I just need a righteous soul to enter the depths of my soul and make me feel the Seven Good Things. This is not a tease, but a request."
In the royal court of Mercia, no matter how young and good-looking the knights are, they are worse than Oran.
He works out day and night, and his figure is erect, making women happy just to look at him.
Vianne's naked flirtation.
After all, it is the King of Mercia's court, and no matter what happens, Oran will never let the King of Mercia deal with him.
This woman is exciting...but also dangerous, extremely dangerous.
Finally, Olan gently pushed his hand away and squeezed the woman's palm.
Playing tricks on occasion to give the princess some face.
Of course, if there is no one in private, many secrets can be learned.
Then you can sacrifice yourself.
This is all for the sake of Northumbria's "great cause".
Seeing the king return,
Wei An took back her mind and planned to find an opportunity to have in-depth communication with Oran in the future.
As a princess with political ambitions, her importance is reflected in her "birth" and her ability to connect the two countries.
It would be more beneficial to him if he could hook up with Northumbria's "Vice-King Oran".
If we regard the relationship between Olan and Wei An as "adulterers and adulterers".
Kunsang and Hirsch are the other extreme.
Hirsch never dared to raise his head, and his body couldn't stop trembling.
Marrying her life to such a terrible man makes her want to die.
But nobles are responsible for their families, marriage is an act of continuing glory, and love is shameful.
Once Oran had complete information on Otto, she decided it was her.
Chester County is one of the most important cities in Mercia, close to the Welsh border, rich in copper mines, and separated from Ireland by the sea.
Above it is "Manchester," the present territory of Catana.
Marriage with such an ally is equivalent to planting a nail, not to mention being able to spy on Katana.
My communication with Wales will be more convenient and faster.
Merchants in your own guild can also use this route to expand their trading base.
Not to mention that this woman is from a distant royal family.
To a certain extent, Hershey was from the royal family, with a higher bloodline than an ordinary baron, and was the daughter of a small county chief.
Olan has always wanted to find a good partner for Kunsang. After careful calculation, the future prospects of this marriage are promising.
In these troubled times, after this meal, gifts and wedding rings will be exchanged immediately.
When Hirsch was being put on the wedding ring by Kunsang, he saw her fierce face and was so excited that he fainted.
Otto wanted to say something, but Oran said, "Your sister fainted with joy when she met her destined person. It will surely be a very happy life in the future. She will not be harmed or wronged in any way. This is Bai Ying's oath. "
At night, the princess sat at the window. Under the moonlight, the thin clothes outlined the curves of her body gracefully.
When King Bergred came in, he said unceremoniously, "Are you thinking about that pretty boy?"
"Pay attention to your cultivation, Your Majesty, that is a distinguished guest. Didn't he want you to become the commander in chief against the Vikings, and also asked Joan of Arc to find the legendary sword in the stone for you? I just It’s to help you be friendly to your guests.”
】
King Bergred snorted, "You dirty bitch...woman!"
"If your hands are dirty, rinse them with water."
"The table is dirty, wipe it with a cloth."
"If your body is dirty, take more showers."
"I'm most afraid of the heart, which will be difficult to clean."
"Now 'Amon' can listen to you so much because I 'slept' him, and you actually scolded me?"
After saying that, the princess pushed the king down with all her strength...
"You are my husband. I must love you the most. Don't make me angry."
When the souls collided violently, the princess said, "Amon is too old. We need to find someone more capable and obedient to take back his land and estate."
