The Duke in the Spire of Thorns

Of course, this sentence is just a joke.

In Celeste's view, if there must be a marriage between him and Escrit, then it must be a marriage.

Marriage is used to maintain the relationship between the two surnames and to ensure that the property is not divided. To do this, the husband and wife can have no feelings, but a consensus must be reached before marriage.

It's not good for anyone to take advantage of it.

Although Celeste wanted to monopolize the title of "husband", he also considered Escrit's needs.Ever since Escrite had firmly stated that they must have a marriage, he had been thinking about this question.

Since marriage is inevitable, it is necessary to find a way that satisfies both parties.

Since both he and Escrit are men, but the two parties in the marriage must be husband and wife, so one of them must pretend to be a woman when they get married.

He didn't want to, and Escrito certainly didn't want to.

Even if Escrit is willing now because of emotional reasons, who can guarantee that he will not regret it in the future?It’s okay to say that the relationship breaks up. It’s not uncommon for husband and wife to play their own way. He is confident that even if Escrite no longer loves him by then, he will still be able to maintain a good friendship with the other party.I was worried that Escrit would feel that he was at a disadvantage, and then the two of them would not even be able to maintain their friendship, so they would have to fight.

That would be ugly.

Therefore, fairness is the most important thing, so that both parties will not suffer, and there will be no great hidden dangers in the future.

He pondered for a while, and finally figured out a fairer method.

"Come to the study, let's talk."

Celeste put down the knife and fork, stood up first and walked towards the study. He sat down in front of the desk with a very upright posture and a serious expression on his face, as if he was about to negotiate with someone.

"As for what you said before, that we must have a marriage, do you still insist on it now?"

Escrit: "...Of course I insist."

Hillest nodded, the expression on his face was still very serious, and he couldn't see whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied, "Since this is the case, I have been thinking about it for a while, you can take a look at this. I believe this will benefit both of us .”

The rigorous Duke also wrote a document in a serious manner. He pushed the document in front of Escrit, and folded his hands, waiting for the other party to read it.

Escrit didn't know what to do. In his imagination, when discussing marriage with his own Duke, it should be warm, not to mention in the bedroom, at least it should be in front of the warm fire in the living room. After such a long time in the world, I never thought that my marriage was discussed in the study.

And his married partner still had a serious face, as if he was talking about political affairs.

Escrit: ...?

In fact, he was right. From Celeste's point of view, his marriage was indeed a political matter and needed to be treated with caution.

What's more, the identities of the two parties are not simple, one is the Duke of St. Peter, the other is the Marquis of Oss, and both of them are nobles with real power. With such a configuration, he will not feel at ease if he does not write a document .

Celeste has never formally discussed marriage with anyone before. After much deliberation, he decided to use the method he is most familiar with, so that he can fully express the importance he attaches to this marriage. Would love it this way.

Escrit didn't know what to say, and fell into a daze very rarely.So he lowered his head and began to carefully read the documents that Celeste pushed over.

The document is very formal, with beautiful cursive characters, decent compliments, and some very common clichés... It can be seen that his young lord completely treats this as a political matter.

The main content of the document is very simple. Celeste's idea is that they can hold two weddings, one when he himself acts as a husband and marries a young lady.The other time is to let Escrit act as the husband, and also marry a young lady back. At that time, both he and Escrit will have no problem with their reputation, and it will not take a lot of money to end the relationship. strength.

If Celeste and Escrit unfortunately break up, they only need to announce the death of their wife, and they don't need to worry too much about property and relationships, which can be said to be very convenient.

His Excellency the Duke was not confused by the current feelings, and wrote down this forward-looking document very coldly. He felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and he didn't think Escrit would have any objections.

However, in order to avoid misunderstanding by Escrit, he still explained carefully:

"Don't think I'm unreasonable. Marriage and love are different. Love is simple. As long as I like you, you are willing to be my lover. That's fine. But marriage is different. It involves too much There are too many things, so you can’t jump into it when you get hotheaded. In view of the special relationship between us, I think some things should be considered at the beginning, so as not to cause trouble later. "

Escrit is very familiar with Celeste's character, and his doing so means that he values ​​his marriage very much. Escrit didn't feel unhappy, but he found it very interesting.

He deliberately said: "Actually, it doesn't need to be so troublesome. I am willing to be your wife."

Celeste's face was tense, and her pretty face was full of disapproval: "No."

"Unilateral devotion is stupid, and I don't allow you to do that." He sat upright, "Before giving for others, you must first consider your own interests."

Hillest taught that although Escrit's approach was profitable for him, and since it was Escrit's initiative, Hillest didn't have to worry about him turning his back.But Celeste still doesn't intend to let Escrit do this.

He feels that he still likes Escrit more or less now, and he doesn't know if he will change in the future, so he will leave a way out for Escrit.

But he can't say such words, and needs to be packaged with other reasons.

Escrito wanted to smile, but he held back, and continued: "But you are not someone else, I love you with all my heart. As long as you want, everything about me is yours."

Celeste didn't see that Escrito was teasing him, and frowned, thinking that it didn't make sense from this aspect, alas, after all, Escrito loved him too much.

His Excellency the Duke was a little complacent, and he was even more determined to leave a way out for his stupid former knight commander.

——He loves me so much, although I don't love him very much, but I have to give him a little choice no matter what, don't I?

Therefore, he thought for a while, and said with displeasure: "Don't you want to see me become your wife?"

Escrito was stunned for a moment, he hadn't thought of this before, but Celeste's words gave him a new look:

Just thinking about how his beautiful little mistress married him in a wedding dress, he couldn't help but want to start preparing for the wedding immediately.

So our former knight commander changed his words very quickly: "I want to."

Celeste achieved his goal and felt that he could continue, so he said in a business-like manner: "In this case, if you sign, we have reached an agreement for the time being. As for the details, we can discuss it later."

Escrit: "..."

Escrit: "...OK."

In order to show sincerity, Celeste took the initiative to sign first, and Escrit also signed his own name in the column below.

Then he watched His Excellency the Duke carefully put the document into the folder, and specially numbered the folder, and wrote a note: important but not urgent.

Escrit: ?

The author has something to say: Your Excellency the Duke (serious): Hello, Mr. Escrit, please sit down, let's talk about our marriage.

Knight Commander (full of blindness towards love): ...Okay, okay.

[I don't know why I feel a little bit wrong]
