Chapter 185 Fiancé?
A month later, a carriage was driving along the way on the trail in John Thurston.
"This is not the task you mentioned at the beginning!" Locke looked helplessly at Ailian sitting opposite him.
"Please, please!" The woman Ailian actually acted cute at Locke, "I have no choice but to find you."
Locke rolled his eyes.
It turned out that there was no Phyllis's investigation task, or there was, but it was no longer important now.
Because the two have only one task now, that is, to help Ailian escape this blind date.
Not bad, just a blind date.
Ailian was born in the small southeastern province of the Omor Empire, John Thurston. Her grandfather was said to have been a local viscount, but she has not fallen over the years.
By the time of her father's generation, she only received the title of one baron, and her territory was only a few small towns and a town that could barely be regarded as a small town.
Although the family power has declined a lot, the foundation passed down from ancestors is still there. In terms of wealth, it is enough for them to have food and clothing for several generations.
It was also with this condition that Ailian's parents spent a lot of money and asked the imperial nobles who had been friends with before to get Ailian to Princeton Royal Academy.
If nothing unexpected happens, after graduation, Ailian may return to John Thurston, inherit the family business passed down to her by her parents, and obtain the title of Baron of her father, and manage the surrounding towns.
But this is not Ailian's dream, nor is it her wish.
After studying in the imperial capital for nearly two years, how could she be willing to return to the countryside-like family territory? If she wanted to stay in that territory for the rest of her life, she felt that she would go crazy.
Ailian's parents were a reasonable couple, otherwise they would not have chosen to let Ailian, their favorite daughter, go to Princeton to go to school. They have a son and a daughter, and they can be used as heirs to train them to become family members.
This time Ailian asked Locke for help, mainly because of her uncle.
"What is the children of Viscount Simak fall in love with me at first sight, I haven't even seen that Virron Simak once!"
"It must be the one who was my uncle Bissel again, and I always want to return to the family's former glory."
"I don't want to get married so early. Locke, please help me!"
Ailian grabbed Locke's hand and begged with tears in her eyes. As for whether there are really tears in her eyes, it remains to be discussed.
"I understand, I understand!" Locke agreed impatiently, being pulled to block the gun for no reason, you can imagine how Locke was feeling at this time.
However, after taking classes at Royal Princeton College for so long, only Ailian and Henry can be regarded as friends Locke knows, and it is understandable to help her once.
Through Ailean's description, Locke learned that her uncle Bissel was his father's elder brother and also inherited the throne of baron, but he has never forgotten to return to the viscount class over the years.
Viscount Nassimac is one of the few real viscounts in the province of John Thurston. A hundred or two hundred years ago, the Ailian family might still be able to live on the same side as the Viscount Simak family. Now, with the destruction of the family, they can only be the existence they look up to.
There are not many viscounts in this province of John Thurston, but there are surprisingly many nobles below the baron, so the hierarchy is extremely obvious.
This time, Ailian and his family received a letter from the Simak family. If Ailian could marry the eldest son of the Simak family, the Simak family would be willing to propose the proposal to re-gain the Viscount in the noble parliament of John Thurston.
Not to mention Ai Lian's uncle Baron Beesel, even her parents were a little moved.
Nobles don’t want the glory of the family to be promoted in their own generation.
This is also the reason why Ailian had to rush back if she didn't complete her studies this semester.
The mine investigation mission led by Phyllis does exist, but the mission location is not far from the territory of the Ailian family, so it can be considered a border. If you want to complete it, it will be less than a day.
"What are you going to ask me to help you?" Locke asked curiously. It was impossible for him, a mid-level servant, to take action and knock down the nobles who were about to force her to marry.
The intermediate serf is quite a master in Foster, but he is just as good as the Omore Empire. Any viscount's subordinate can draw out several intermediate serfs' guards.
"Hmph." Ailian cleared her voice first, and then said solemnly.
"Locke, be my fiancé!"
"Puff!" Locke almost threw the teacup in his hand out.
The carriage arrived at their destination three days later.
This is a beautiful garden with a rich natural atmosphere. As soon as you get off the carriage, Locke can clearly feel the appropriate environment around you. Whether it is the humidity of the air or the fragrance of the soil, it makes Locke have the illusion of returning to his hometown Maple Leaf Village.
Before he knew it, he had been away from the Kingdom of Fosterstein for a year, Locke sighed.
Although the season is November, the snow in the sky similar to the winter in the Forstan Kingdom did not appear in the Omor Empire. In this country, heavy snow had to be seen in December or even January of the following year.
The temperature is already a little low, but the fields are still green. This is the winter wheat that farmers just planted after autumn harvest.
"Ai Lian, my niece, you are finally back!" A hearty laughter came from not far from the carriage, and a group of people came over. The leader was an old man with a slightly silver hair but still strong body.
Behind the old man was a middle-aged couple in gorgeous clothes. Judging from their appearance, the middle-aged lady was seventy-sixth-slightly similar to Ailian.
Ailian, who got off the carriage, ignored her uncle's greetings, but ran towards the middle-aged couple behind the old man. "Father, mother!"
"Oh, our dear daughter." The middle-aged couple probably haven't seen their daughter for a long time, and the atmosphere was particularly friendly as soon as they met.
In addition to the middle-aged couple, there is also a half-aged boy and a younger girl surrounding Ailian to call her sister. Locke heard Ailian introduce these two, who should be her younger brother and sister.
"Who are you?" The silver-haired old man noticed Locke who got off the carriage with Ailian early in the morning. Although the atmosphere of the Omore Empire was open, in their small place, unmarried men and women were in the same carriage, which was unacceptable to the older generation.
"Hello Uncle Bissel, my name is Locke, I am Ailian's classmate!" Anyway, he wanted to act as a fiancé, Locke simply called the old man "Uncle" and shook hands and said.
"Oh, hello!" Although Bissel was still a little confused, he still handed his hand over in the face of Locke's handshake.
