After negotiating with the Nilfgaardian King, the rest is just going through the motions.
Later, Oran and the king negotiated the terms of this friendship in front of all the nobles.
The leaders who could not understand the king were disappointed.
Some people even think that they should just change their faith before Yin Val comes to fight.
After the king announced the marriage alliance, some leaders knew that they were being plotted by the king.
Unexpectedly, a woman bribed Olan?
Raina's chest heaved violently after hearing this from the corner pillar.
After word spread, all the women's eyes came to her.
She was filled with joy, thinking that she would be able to hear her father say her name in the hall and be united with a noble man from the south.
"lady!"
She had always wanted to hear this in her dreams. There was no illegitimate child who did not long for the title of honor.
But that night, when everyone gathered, my father called out the name of "eldest sister"!
"What...me?"
A dark, thin, inconspicuous woman thought she had heard wrongly.
But after Ladd came to her and took her hand to the center of the hall, she finally covered her mouth in surprise.
"The lord is the father of my servants. Uncle Ben, Olan Vijay, has granted me the marriage as Lord Rad Walker!"
After Oran finished speaking, Ladd half-knelt.
Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at the new wedding ceremony in the south.
Now, Oran's "Protestant" is all over the place, including wedding lines.
From now on, in his kingdom, the lords will have to say these opening words when presiding over marriages.
“The Father created man in the Garden of Paradise, not as a solitary man or woman, but together they are called man.
Therefore, we share joys and sorrows together, we depend on each other for blessings and misfortunes, and we will never be separated before the Kingdom of Heaven!"
After Oran finished speaking, his men handed the woman's Protestant wedding lines to the king.
The priest translated in a low voice, and the king chanted loudly.
"I will give you the most beautiful and kind person here to be your partner. I hope you will not forget your courage, lose your glory, violate your loyalty, and spend your life with your wife!"
After the two of them finished speaking, Ladd stood up and gave the ring he had prepared to the woman.
Being sent away as goods by her father again, the woman was unwilling for the first time, frustrated for the second time, and... for the third time...
As long as this man doesn't hit himself.
As the applause rang out, Oran walked up to the woman and said, "According to the Protestant custom, my wife is like your mother, but she is not here, but don't worry, when you come to King's Landing in the future, someone will tell you how to be a good wife and Lady of the lord.”
The servant took out the inventory, which contained various wedding payments.
Fifteen pigs, twenty chickens, ten geese, fifty pounds of barley, fifty pounds of wheat, ten pounds of butter, ten pounds of honey...wine, flowers, decorations, other miscellaneous expenses, gold and silver coins...
"I will send people to bring these things in batches," Oland said.
He also saw Reina applauding in the crowd, but instead of comforting her, he asked his men to prepare their bags and leave early in the morning.
Nanding is still fighting.
In the middle of the night, someone disturbed me, and Beowulf came again.
In the past two days, he had been wanting to meet with Olan in private, but he had no chance.
After Oran asked about this from his servant, he probably knew what would happen.
But when he saw that there was nothing wrong with him, he let him in.
As soon as he stepped into the door, Beowulf was blocked by four swordsmen.
"I have no ill intentions."
One of the swordsmen glanced at Beowulf's sword. The latter understood and took off all the weapons.
But this did not reassure the swordsmen, and they followed him in, with four swords ready to be unsheathed at any time.
"You came three, four times? What do you want?"
"Your Excellency, I hope to gain your protection."
"Not only you, but all of you will get my protection. Didn't I make an agreement with the king?"
"Only you."
"Um?"
"I would like to dedicate my land to you."
Oran stared at him, the owner of a mini Danshui island. There were not thirty people on the island. There were no gems on the island, only gravel, and no war horses, only chickens and ducks.
What benefits can be gained from this kind of land?
“From the day Uncle Ben became Sheriff, people came to me and said they wanted to be loyal to me and become Hand of the King. After becoming Regent, more people came to me to apply for jobs.
They always brag about how good at fighting and how good at financial management they are, but they are often mediocre in ability. Keep your land. "
"Your Excellency, my father died of worry because he could not pay the tribute to the Vikings. When my brother was out fishing, he was attacked by the Vikings and fell into the water. You and I have a common enemy. The most valuable thing is the sword you gave me, I am willing to hold it to help you get rid of your enemies."
The leaders of the kingdom have to pay taxes, either treasures and food, or help with labor or military operations.
Originally, his tribe should not be so weak, but his father formed an alliance with the Irish Kingdom of Munster and failed to attack the Viking fleet from behind, which was why it was like this.
After his father died, the remaining tribesmen also divided several islands among themselves before leaving.
Beowulf's tribe can no longer afford the next noble obligation.
Once they lose their land power, their family will no longer be nobles.
What's even more unfortunate is that his father also left behind an enemy leader who belonged to the Nilfgaardian king's camp.
He is the king's cousin, and there is this irreconcilable factor.
He must protect his loved ones and seek refuge with outsiders.
Beowulf did not hide it and expressed his concerns.
If Oran hadn't come, he would have had no choice but to go to Ireland or join the Scots.
His Ansa accent was very stiff, but the way he tried to introduce himself was impressive.
"Can you read?"
Shake his head.
"Do you know anything about theology?"
Shake his head.
"Do you dare to kill anyone?"
Beowulf thought about this question for a moment, what if Oran asked him to kill the servants around him, or even some nobles in the kingdom?
After hesitating for a few seconds, he still shook his head.
"You just said that you and your father have been to the south of Ireland?"
"I had a sword duel with the great nobles over there. I don't need an astrolabe, but rely on the ocean current and wind direction on the sail. If I set sail from here, I can get there."

Here Beowulf took advantage of the situation by using swords. In fact, he was used as a target for the nobles to practice, and there was no big noble who could speak to him.
An experienced sailor, a warrior who can hold a sword, and a noble connection that he is not familiar with.
Olan is still willing to invest under these three conditions.
Beowulf's tribe has a dozen old and weak people and a dozen adult laborers, which are used to supplement the construction of King's Landing, which is not a problem.
"King's Landing can protect your relatives, bring them here, and I will give you enough equipment to arm ten soldiers."
"what should I do?"
"Whatever your father does, you do. When I need you, you just have to listen to my orders."
Let this kid develop for a while and see what happens next.
Oran is compared to Beowulf, like a billionaire to a commoner.
If you drop a little silver coin from your finger and invest it, success or failure is just a matter of whim.
At this time, Reina, who had been waiting for Olan, saw a light coming out of his house. After someone entered, she also came outside the door to see Olan.
But when Beowulf came out, the light immediately went out.
In the morning, Reyna did not go to Scotland with Oran, but was sent back to King's Landing in a carriage.
The first thing she learned as a lover was to "accept everything."
