Witch Hunter from Entry to Unemployment

Chapter 213 The dowry is rich enough

Essentially speaking, this is the Duke's private matter, and as a servant, I have no reason to get involved.

However, as an old servant who has served the Garfield family for more than 50 years, Reed felt that he should still say something.

So when he brought Rosalind to Duke Marz's room, he persuaded her.

"Well, the master actually has difficulties, and the madam has always missed the eldest lady."

"I have never blamed him for what happened 18 years ago. He is the president of the Supreme Court and represents the kingdom's will to punish. Others can have sympathy, but he cannot have it, because his words and deeds represent the sacred law."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Reed breathed a sigh of relief, the eldest lady is indeed much more sensible than he imagined.

"But... what about this engagement? What qualifications does he have to arrange such a marriage for me?"

"This... this... this is a marriage gift from His Majesty the King, my lord... he can't refuse, can he?"

"Oh, if that's the case, why didn't you tell me about it? The entire Star City knows that the Garfield family and the Augustman family are going to marry, but I, the client, don't know about it, right?"

"This... this..."

At this moment, Reid couldn't even utter a word of defense, and Rosalind also pushed the door directly into the room.

Master, I tried my best, I can only help you so far, I hope you can reconcile with the eldest lady.

Reed sighed helplessly, looked at the closed door, and walked away consciously, so as not to hear the conversation in the room.

"Rosalind, my good daughter, you are finally back."

"Mother……"

The lady in a long dress had obviously been waiting in the room for a long time. After Rosalind opened the door and walked in, she hugged the girl into her arms.

The indifference on the latter's face melted instantly, and there was a little more tenderness in his eyes.

If the biggest victim of this series of events is who it is, it must be his mother.

She shouldn't be involved in the cold war between myself and my father. It's really unfilial to not go home to see her for 18 years.

"Sorry mother, I just came back to see you now."

"It's not your fault, it's not your fault, it's all caused by your bastard father. He knows the law and the law every day, and he treats his family members as criminals. He has long been abnormal!"

Hearing his wife's merciless sarcastic words, Maltz also looked a little embarrassed.

He wanted to explain something, but after Rosalind looked at him, he still couldn't speak.

The man who had been proud all his life lowered his head and spoke in an inaudible voice.

"I... I wronged my daughter, please forgive me."

"No, you are right. You are the president of the Supreme Court of the Kingdom. How could you be wrong. I am the one who is wrong, because my waywardness has had a great impact on my father and the family."

"I……"

Maerzi was a little moved. His daughter's sensibility seemed to support his growing indifference.

But the law is such a cold and heartless thing.

"Let's just pass on the past, and I don't want to say anything more. But Father, can you explain to me what this marriage contract really means? Don't say something like His Majesty forcing you, I will I want you to be honest and tell me why."

"This one……"

Rosalind blocked the explanation she was about to say just now, and Maltz could only smile wryly.

"Okay, okay... the specific reason, daughter, you should have already guessed it. This marriage is a wooing, it's a wooing, it's a wooing, and it's also a wooing of the child. After all, looking for the child may still have a heart for the nobles and the royal family." Bad luck, so..."

"Why me? If he has a grudge, won't I have a grudge?"

"In any case, you are my daughter, and I know something about you. You don't hate anyone, do you? As a child raised by you, I believe you will not educate him about hatred. So in my opinion, both of you can be drawn together."

"I...actually neglected to educate him. If I can pay more attention to his inner problems, he may become better now."

"That's why, my daughter, you have such a personality. You are so gentle."

Maltz sighed, looking at his daughter tenderly.

"I'm sorry, Rosalind, I know I've tarnished your beliefs, but there are some things I can't change. I can only say that as my daughter, you were born with a label. In the eyes of some people, No matter what you do, it's not pure enough."

"So, it's not my problem, it's their problem."

"Forehead?"

Maltz was slightly taken aback, feeling a chill inexplicably from his daughter's words.

In fact, the biggest reason why Li Xun and Rosalind entered into a marriage contract was to consider the feelings of the saint Cynthia.

However, Maltz naturally couldn't say such words, because it was disrespectful to the goddess, and it might also arouse Rosalind's hostility towards the Holy See.

But now I don't say anything, it seems that my daughter is still...

Duke Marz couldn't help becoming worried, and Rosalind soon spoke with her usual expression.

"In short, since the engagement has already been made, I will naturally fulfill it. Xun and I... We have also negotiated, and we will get married when he returns from the Hunter Capital."

Blatantly lying, Rosalind seemed a little guilty, but fortunately, her parents didn't notice the subtle expression changes on her face.

Rosalind suddenly felt that she had become a bad woman, and carefully arranged a trap, waiting for Li Xun to fall into it when she came back.

"Don't worry, Dad, I will definitely help you make the wedding grand and beautiful!"

Maltz patted his chest, thus guaranteeing it.

"As Garfield's eldest daughter, my dowry can't be less, right? Before I came, I went to see Iris, and she showed me the family bills, and found out that I have quite a lot of assets. My dowry is always Can't be less than this?"

"Hey...hey?"

Maerzi wanted to say that almost half of Li Xun's current property was sent over by himself.

This... If you send the same amount...

"Why, my lord father looks very embarrassed?"

Rosalind raised her eyebrows lightly, and the mother sitting beside her also glared at her husband.

"No embarrassment, no embarrassment at all! Daughter, your dowry will definitely not be less than that guy!"

"That's good."

Rosalind said so with a smile on her face.

Although Duke Marz was a little heartbroken, seeing his daughter's happy appearance, he was slowly relieved.

After all, it was my own fault, so just treat it as compensation to my daughter.
