I was a knight in the Middle Ages
Chapter 26 The Coming Son-in-Law
"Huh, what are you talking about? You look so excited." Linda's tone was full of dissatisfaction. After all, this was a party held for her. She should have been the protagonist, but she didn't become the focus.
Linda had always been a staple in social circles, but after her kidnapping, the nobles now kept their distance from her.
"Ms. Linda, we are discussing the recent robbery problem." Will didn't dare to reveal that they were just discussing Linda.
"Yes, yes." Dishu was a little excited. After all, Linda was his goddess.
"What about you? Alpha." As soon as Linda saw Dexu's expression, she knew he was lying.
"Beautiful Miss Linda, I am Viscount Gordon, and I would like to invite Miss Linda to dance with me." Suddenly, a nobleman walked up to Linda and invited her to dance.
"Sorry, Miss Linda has already agreed to dance with me in advance, so you'd better wait a moment." Alpha saw the unhappiness in Linda's eyes, so he came out to help.
"That's right, Viscount Gordon, I promised Alpha Knight in advance. Let's talk about it next time!" Linda perfunctorily said to the man in front of her.
"It doesn't matter. I will always follow Miss Linda and do my best to meet any of your needs." Gordon's tone was full of love, and it was obvious that he was going to pester Linda.
"What? Do you want to be a mean person and go back on your words?" Linda stretched out her spotless hands, but Alpha just sat there without responding.
"But I can't dance, Linda." It's not that Alpha is being pretentious, but that Alpha has never learned it.
"No, you have to go on stage this time. I will slow down the pace and you just follow me." Feeling the aggressive gazes of the men around her who were stripping naked, Linda still felt better being with Alpha.
"Ah!" Before Alpha could agree, Linda pulled him into the dance floor.
"Don't touch down, or I will beat you." Linda glared at Alpha fiercely. If she didn't warn him, Alpha's right hand would almost touch Linda's butt.
Slowly, under Linda's guidance, Alpha got into the groove, found his feeling, and was no longer at a loss.
"Actually, I know what everyone thinks. Because I was kidnapped by bandits, everyone thought I was abused and that I was a dirty person. That's why they stay away from me and alienate me. In fact, deep down, everyone wants me to be their lover." Linda leaned on Alpha's shoulder, expressing her dissatisfaction.
"And those viscounts and barons actually dare to pursue me now. Is it because I am an unclean person in their eyes?" Linda is the child of the Grand Duke, at least a marquis. Below the marquis is the earl, and then the viscount and baron. The difference in status is huge.
"Maybe they really like you, that's why they get close to you. Don't care about their identities." Alpha didn't know how to comfort them.
"Haha, then why didn't they pursue me before? They had to wait until I became a dirty person. They thought I had no choice, so they took the initiative." Linda understood that all this was just a deal.
"That's because they don't know how good Linda is. She is pure, kind and brave. In our hearts, Linda is our goddess." Alpha directly repeated Will's introduction.
"You're such a smooth talker. Why don't you pursue me?" Linda could only say that she didn't dislike Alpha, the first man who saw her naked body up close.
"Marquis Linda, I am a commoner!" Alpha is a knight of the Vatican, but in fact he is also a commoner.
"So you wanted me to not mind their identities so that I could leave a way out for myself?" Linda actually thought of this, which made Alpha a little at a loss.
"Behave yourself, don't look, think or touch anything." Sensing Alpha's abnormality, Linda warned him this time.
"I'm just kidding, Lord Alpha Knight." Linda knew that Alpha was an upright knight. Although he could be a bit of a rogue sometimes, he was generally acceptable.
"Alpha, do you think I should find a great nobleman with bad character, or a small nobleman with good character?" In fact, Linda had already compromised, otherwise she would not have agreed to attend such a banquet.
"Why don't you find someone you like? After all, this is something you'll spend your whole life on." As a man in the 21st century, it's not surprising that Alpha has such thoughts.
"The one I like? The one I like?" Linda fell into deep thought.
"There is no time. My father won't give me time to search slowly." Linda's eyes were full of loss. It was because she wanted to find someone she loved that she was kidnapped and became what she is now.
"How about this, you pretend to be my partner, and when I find someone I like, you'll be free." There was a sly glint in Linda's eyes.
"This is not good! After all, my status is low and my strength is not that good. The Grand Duke will not be interested in me." Alpha said with some inferiority complex.
"It's okay, you're just pretending, not real. Besides, as long as I like it, my father won't make things difficult for you." Linda is a person of action. She didn't hesitate to pull Alpha out of the dance floor.
"Mother, this is the person I chose. You can do whatever you want!" Linda took Alpha directly to the back compartment, looking like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.
"Hello, ma'am! Miss Linda, you're just joking. I'm just Miss Linda's suitor and haven't passed Miss Linda's test yet." Alpha behaved politely and gracefully. He was not at all nervous because of the gazes of the women in front of him.
"I'm Linda's second aunt. You are Alpha, right? How old are you? What's your title? Who's in your family?" a noble lady asked curiously.
"Hello, ma'am. I'm Alpha Michel. I'm 22 years old, have no title, and I'm the only one in my family." Although his conditions were not good, Alpha showed no sign of retreat and his expression was calm.
"Then what qualifications do you think you have to marry our Linda?" The Archduchess' tone was aggressive, and she obviously did not think highly of Alpha.
“Hello, Madam. I think the key is that two people love each other, support each other, and support each other. Only in this way can they stay together for a lifetime.
Of course, I can't give Linda anything yet, but I will work hard to become a man worthy of Miss Linda. "Everyone can brag, but we can just deal with it.
"You have nothing. Do you want to get something for nothing?" The Grand Duchess did not believe in these fancy words.
“Madam, what kind of person do you think is worthy of Miss Linda? I have nothing now. Even if I am a baron or a viscount, it is just a sesame seed to the Grand Duke’s family and it doesn’t matter at all.
The focus now is Linda's happiness, not my status and reputation." Alpha was right. In the Grand Duke's family, I'm afraid that anyone who is not a duke will not be interested.
"We will take care of Linda's happiness. How can you prove that you can bring happiness to Linda, unless you marry into our Emile family?" In the eyes of the Grand Duchess, Alpha's low status is actually a good thing. He can directly marry into the Emile family, so that Linda's happiness and the family's face can be preserved.
"Madam, I don't think marrying into the Emil family will bring happiness to Miss Linda. It will only make me win everything easily. It will make me degenerate and decay.
I have to work hard with my own hands and make Linda happy with my own thinking, so I can't agree to the lady's request." Alpha directly rejected the Grand Duchess's request.
"Father." At some point, Grand Duke Houston had arrived in the room.
"All of you, get out! I have a few questions to ask Alpha Knight." The Grand Duke drove everyone out.
"I'll give you one last chance. If you're willing to marry into our family, I will resolve all your problems, including your appointment in the Vatican." Archduke Houston went straight to the point without giving Alpha any chance to hesitate, which made Alpha very uncomfortable.
Houston had already investigated the man in front of him thoroughly, probably better than Alpha himself.
In fact, Grand Duke Houston admired Alpha's character and work more. The previous battle with the bandits had already been reported to the authorities. He was upright but not pedantic, and cunning but did not evade responsibility.
"If the Archduke can help me deal with Vatican affairs, I am willing to marry into the Emile family." In fact, marrying into the Emile family is not something difficult to accept. Rather than having an uncertain future, it is better to win early. The key is that Linda is a rare beauty. What could Alpha be dissatisfied with?
"Isn't this different from what you promised just now?" The Grand Duke did not expect Alpha to agree so immediately, which made the Grand Duke very upset. He had been planning to tempt him with wealth, status and strength, but now he has nothing to say.
"Isn't it different? It's because the Grand Duke is wise and powerful, and his domineering aura makes the villain convinced." Alpha flattered him at the right time.
"Tell me the truth." Grand Duke Houston looked at Alpha angrily. To be honest, he probably didn't like the way Alpha was now.
"Then I'll tell you the truth. The Grand Duke is wise and brave, and his words are as good as gold." Although the meaning is almost the same, Alpha's tone is completely different each time.
The status of women in this era is completely different. I just confessed to the Grand Duchess, but she has no say in the matter and I will be looked down upon by a group of women.
"Also, the Archduke helped me deal with the affairs of the Holy See so that I don't have to worry. To be honest, the things the Pope asked me to handle were a bit unreasonable." Of course, the point is still this. Alpha did not want to go to the Fatalia Empire to carry out the mission.
"You are good at judging people and know what to say and what not to say." Family disgrace should not be made public, and the Grand Duke also has to save face. Even if Linda is willing, the Grand Duke will not agree if his son-in-law embarrasses himself in front of a large group of outsiders.
"Tell me, why did the Pope call you over that day?" Now to deal with Alpha's affairs, specific information is probably needed.
"The Pope wants me to go to the Fatalia Empire to subdue the Ninth Knights and rebuild the Order of the Discipline Paladins." These are the two goals, and Alpha did not hide them.
"The Order of the Discipline? Does the Pope have this idea?" The Archduke obviously knew the reason for the demise of the Order of the Discipline in the Vatican, but he just didn't know that the Pope wanted to rebuild the Order of the Discipline.
"As long as the Order of Discipline is not around me, it will be fine." Alpha guessed.
"What did the Pope give you?" The Archduke frowned. If it was just rebuilding the Ninth Knights, then it wouldn't be a big problem. Now that there is an additional Order of Discipline Paladins, it might be a bit troublesome.
"Holy tribute, advanced fighting skills, and the document and seal of recognition of fate." Alpha had nothing to hide.
"The Pope really thinks highly of you! He really wants you to conquer the Ninth Knights!" The Archduke frowned, thinking that this matter might be difficult to handle.
"I think you should go out and work hard on your own, come back home in glory in a few years and marry Linda!" The Grand Duke actually didn't keep his word.
"Grand Duke, you can't do this!" Alpha did not expect this result. Grand Duke Houston actually gave up Alpha, his son-in-law.
"Grand Duke, aren't you asking me to die?" Alpha's face was pale and he was obviously frightened.
"Do you know how many Knight Commanders the Holy See has sent to Fatalia?" The Archduke obviously knew a lot.
"I know, so I want to seek asylum." In fact, Alpha didn't know anything, he just didn't want to die.
"The Pope has already sent four people, and you are the fifth? Do you know what happened to them now?" The Archduke was obviously also paying attention to the internal affairs of the Fatalia Empire.
"Are they all dead?" Alpha didn't dare to look up at the Grand Duke's expression. It was obvious that their end was not good, otherwise the Grand Duke would not have pushed himself out.
Alpha was a mid-level knight, and his strength was nothing in the Grand Duke's Palace, and it was also the most insignificant in the entire Church. But no matter where he was, he could live a comfortable life, provided he did not fight with others.
"No, only one died, one became a vegetable, and the remaining two lived very freely, but they could never return to the Vatican's sphere of influence." Archduke Houston looked down on the Pope's act of sending food. Four people died, one was disabled, and two betrayed, so the whole army could be wiped out. But such behavior is also an attitude, expressing the attitude towards the Knights of Light of the Fatalia Empire.
I thought the Pope just randomly arrested someone to show his attitude, so with the Archduke Houston's handling, the replacement of people would not matter much, but now it seems that the Pope has not completely given up, but has only changed his strategy. This makes Houston a little embarrassed.
"Is it really impossible? Grand Duke, City Lord." Alpha was still making his last attempt.
"I will let Linda wait for you for two years. Don't let us down!" Two years is enough. Even just being alive is a kind of ability.
"But I will also provide you with some resources, as long as it is within my capacity. I will prepare a knight group of 1,000 for you?" This can be regarded as a disguised investment by the Grand Duke! After all, he is a person favored by the Pope.
"Grand Duke, please don't fool me. I'm not going to war. If I bring a thousand knights, I'm afraid I'll be wiped out by the army before I even enter the Fatalia Empire." Alpha is not stupid. It can be said that when going to the Fatalia Empire, the number of people should not be too large. It's best to have about ten people. Secondly, don't make a big fuss and do things as carefully as possible. If people know that you are going to recruit people, I'm afraid you won't die well.
"Okay! If you need anything, just tell Will and I'll do my best to satisfy you."
"Okay, thank you for your support, Grand Duke." Alpha had no idea how to get out of the room. When he woke up, he was in the corner by mistake.
"Alpha, what's going on? Did father agree?"
