Unknown Knight
Chapter 203: Forced Marriage
Medea held the sword to Aix's throat and said to him viciously:
"Little thief, how did you know about our witches' heirloom? This "Witches' Records" is our witches' sacred object, written by generations of witch mothers. It is a secret that is only passed down among us witches. How did you know about it?
Or do you have impure motives and come here just to steal the secrets of our witches?"
Aix was confused. From what Medea said, they really had such a book "Witches' Chronicles"? But how did this connect with that? How did he know what kind of holy objects they had? But it was useless to explain it now. How could such a thing be reasonably explained by a coincidence?
Aix could only shake his head helplessly:
"I know you won't believe me no matter how I explain it now, but there must be a reason for everything. I am a great noble lord and I am definitely not planning to become a witch. What's the point of having your witch's holy objects?
Could it be that your "Witches' Chronicles" can destroy the world and is an invincible weapon, or is your holy relic so priceless that it can be exchanged for one or two cities on the mainland?
If not, then please tell me, Mother Medea, what use is this sacred object of yours to me? "
What Aix said seemed to be true. This holy object was only a treasure passed down from generation to generation for witches, but for Aix, it was almost no different from an ordinary book.
Seeing that Medea's gaze had eased a little, Aix continued:
"The main purpose of the Witches' Chronicles that I am talking about is to state the persecution and slander of you witches one by one, compile it into a book and circulate it to the world. Through this model, the world, especially the nobles who understand culture, will first sympathize with us witches, and then spread it to the people, so that everyone will know our unfair fate, and gradually change the bad image of us witches among the world from the root."
"No matter how much you say, it will be useless. Now that you know the sacred object of our witches, you only have two choices. Either I stab your throat with a sword and bleed to death, or you marry my daughter Meimei and become one of our witches.
Don't argue with me. You don't have a third way. I can give you some time to think about it, but don't try to shirk your responsibility. You must give me an answer here."
Medea knew that he was a silver-tongued man, so she blocked all his escape routes.
When the others saw this, they knew the matter was going to come to a standstill. Seeing that Medea was determined to do what she said, they thought it would be a big trouble if Aix couldn't figure it out and acted stubbornly, so they all rushed over to smooth things over.
First came Bestur, who came over and whispered to Aix:
"Although you will be defeated by me sooner or later, if you marry that girl Meimei, we will have the same mother-in-law after all. I can't let you call me brother-in-law for nothing. Don't worry, I just need to win and won't take your life. You should think carefully about this."
Next came Niza, who said seriously:
"Sir, I think this is a good opportunity for me to stop calling you Sir. The name of brother-in-law is more intimate. This way I can convince myself not to wander around for freedom. We are family, right? You work so hard for the territory, I have to help you, right?"
Axe was so angry that he kicked Niza twice and kicked away the guy who wanted to become his relative.
Then came James. Fortunately, this honest man said with pity:
"Sir, don't worry that the three wives in the family will be unhappy. After all, they all have children, and they can't do anything to you because of the children. In addition, the two wives are here today, and they can testify for you. You were really forced to do this today, and they will definitely forgive you.
Don't forget that there are tens of thousands of people in your territory who need your protection. Don't act out of loyalty. Think twice, sir! Sacrifice yourself for the happiness of your people!"
There seemed to be nothing wrong with what he said, but after he said it, Axel's face turned so red that his hair and eyebrows almost caught fire.
Velen came over next and made Aix wave his hands in frustration:
"Okay, okay, I'll marry you, as long as you're not ugly, I'll accept you, so don't make things difficult for me anymore."
He was really speechless. He couldn't let Velen persuade him to become his son-in-law in front of so many people. That would be too embarrassing. How would they meet in the future?
No matter how eloquent he is, he will eventually get himself into trouble. This is his fate.
However, in the entire witch camp, the only one who was qualified to be with Aix was Medea's daughter Meimei, whose identity was not simple either. It turned out that there was an unwritten rule among the witches that the position of witch mother must be passed on to the witch with red hair. In addition, Miss Meimei also liked Aix, so this matter naturally came to fruition.
Medea actually deliberately forced Aix to marry her daughter. As the leader of the witches, she knew the poor lives of the witches best. If everyone could live in a place where they were not discriminated against and could get rid of poverty, she would be very tempted from the bottom of her heart, even if the living environment was a bit harsh.
However, as the leader of the witches, she had to look ahead and behind. She always felt that it was more reliable to maintain something with Aix. Otherwise, she could not lead everyone to migrate there with only Aix's suspicious talk. So she resorted to the bad strategy of forcing marriage, which was tantamount to dragging Aix into the water and morally blackmailing him, greatly reducing the possibility of Aix turning against them and suppressing the witches in the future.
(Here I would like to briefly talk about the hierarchy of witches. The leader of the witches is collectively called "Mom", which means the mother of all witches. The next level is the witch at the elder level, usually a witch who is older, more experienced and more capable. She is called "Grandma". Next is the high-level witch, and finally the ordinary witch. There are four levels in total.
They are not completely absent from the world. They usually travel to various countries as tarot card tellers, country doctors, huntresses, etc.
Moreover, witches have strongholds in hidden corners of various countries, and all strongholds are under the jurisdiction of the witch mother in the Four Worlds Forest.
That night, the witch camp held a grand wedding ceremony for the four new sons-in-law. Everyone sang and danced until late at night. Even Aix, who usually could drink a lot of wine without getting drunk, somehow got drunk.
The next day, Aix and others rested in the witch camp for another day.
Aix wrote a letter and asked them to send people to the territory, asking them to send people here to pick up the witches who were going to the territory, and to mark out a large area of territory in the south of Tangquan Fortress for the witches to live in. It was originally the territory of the snowfield bandits, and it was vacant after they were cleared out.
In the end, out of the more than one hundred witches, only a dozen remained in the forest as Medea instructed, and the rest all moved to the territory of Aix.
The redemption team also set out on the third day, with the addition of Zhenzhen following them. She is very good at reconnaissance and stealth, and her archery skills are superb, so she can help everyone in future travels.
