Otherworldly Companions: Every Handsome Man is Extraordinary

Chapter 4 The Divine Child and the General

Ultimately, she chose numbers four and seventeen.

Number four is named Fan Qingyin. She comes from a priestly family in the Aurora Empire. Her family has produced many bishops and even a pope. Her status is noble and detached from worldly affairs.

He also gave people a calm and composed feeling. His appearance was no less than that of the man with number 1, but due to the influence of his family's beliefs, his peaceful and picturesque eyes seemed to be shrouded in a thin mist when he looked at people, making him seem unapproachable, reserved and restrained.

He was tall and slender, standing there like a piece of warm jade, but only when you got closer did you realize that he was a piece of cold jade that could not be touched by the world.

Fan Qingyin did not show much affection for Jiang Yu, but rather expressed the compatibility and hopes between their families, making Jiang Yu believe that such a marriage was more about cooperation and suitability than impulsive feelings.

For Jiang Yu, this would actually create more stability. Since she couldn't give him the affection he deserved, she naturally hoped he wouldn't have too many expectations of her.

Number Seventeen comes from a military family; his father and Jiang Yu's father were colleagues, both generals in the Ocean Empire. The two families are well-matched. Although his ranking isn't very high, his father's special reminders made Jiang Yu notice Lin Yi early on.

Lin Yizi followed in his father's footsteps and is now a young general. This time, he wore a gleaming silver knight's armor and a bright red cloak. His young and handsome face was full of masculine pride, and like his blond hair, he was a dazzling young man.

His conversation with Jiang Yu was filled with positive equality and goodwill, and Jiang Yu felt that she could at least become friends with such a young man at the beginning.

Noblewomen born in the royal city, upon reaching adulthood, would have their families fund an application to the empire to grant them a territory and make them lords.

This is somewhat similar to the benefits and privileges enjoyed by people in the capital, but the difference is that, if we look beyond the surface, this is actually a division of power in the imperial capital.

Once a noble family in the royal city has a female offspring, it means that the daughter must be sent to a distant territory, and a family that loses its female offspring loses the possibility of continuing in the royal city.

Just as Jiang Yu's father, Jiang Ren, was promoted to Imperial General through his military achievements, the Jiang family had painstakingly built up its power after Jiang Ren gained power. Now, Jiang Yu is about to get married and go to the territory, and the remaining sons will also get married one after another to join the women's families. Even if the Jiang family is powerful, it is unknown how many generations this glory will last.

A woman's territory is determined by the empire she was born into, and her partner, regardless of which empire he comes from, will move to the castle where she lives and automatically acquire her nationality. This does not mean that he is completely cut off from his family, but for men, since they already have a partner, everything must be done with their partner first. This is the unspoken rule of the whole world.

After the selection process was complete, Jiang Yu was able to leave with her chosen partners. According to custom, she first had to go to her mother's castle to introduce her partners to her elders before they could set off for their own territory.

Jiang Yu was quite fast, and she spent very little time talking to each man. When she left, most of the women were still in the process of choosing, some even asking the candidates to perform talents, and others were not satisfied with choosing only two partners.

After all, this is a major life event, and it's always good to be cautious. Jiang Yu thought that someone like her was an exception.

After leaving the auditorium, Jiang Yu was no longer alone; Fan Qingyin and Lin Yi were now by her side.

The two were initially excited about being chosen, but Fan Qingyin, who was always aloof, didn't show it much. On the contrary, Lin Yi seemed to be even more radiant, and his hearty laughter and cheerful chatter could be heard all the way.

The carriage was parked in a corner of Triton Place, waiting.

As Jiang Yu was getting into the carriage, a servant handed him a short letter sealed with sealing wax.

After Jiang Yu opened the book, she immediately jumped off the carriage in excitement. Because she had been so calm before, this strong emotional fluctuation startled Fan Qingyin and Lin Yi.
