The elder called Lia picked up a teacup that was filled with the fragrance of tea. She stirred her cup with a silver spoon in one hand and said, "Grand Duke, do you know what the consequences of doing this will be?"
She called Elise the Grand Duchess and pointed out the seriousness of the problem. How could Elise not know? She said softly, "From now on, the Boleyn and Sly families will become enemies. Even if they maintain their previous relationship on the surface, there must be something that has changed in their bones. "
"That's right, but the Grand Duke of the South isn't a bad choice. He's young and promising, and he'll be a popular person in the empire for the next ten years. There's nothing wrong with him apart from a lack of foundation. If the Boleyn family marries him, the family's prospects won't be too bad. "The elder paused and said," But I don't know if the Grand Duke will really marry you. Tell me, Grand Duke, are you in love with each other, or are you just putting on an act? "
Elise said frankly, "I don't want to marry Norpeter, so I asked Duke Allen to help me."
Lia closed her eyes, as if she had expected it.
Elise stood up and said loudly, "Elder Lia, why can't I choose the person I like? If I marry Norpeter for the family, then I can earn more glory and power for the family. I don't need to rely on marriage to obtain support. "
"I know you're very capable, Grand Duke. Arranging for the prime minister and consort to leave the capital was enough to show your ability, and then you helped His Majesty Julian return to the throne. Before Duke Allen returns, the Boleyn family will be the head of the dukes. " Lia said solemnly, "But you're still a woman. If you were a man, we wouldn't have to worry about you at all. As a woman, especially a woman of the Boleyn family, you should know what your duty is. You can refuse Norpeter today, but there are still three archdukes and many nobles. You have to choose one to marry to continue the bloodline of the Boleyn family. More importantly, if the other party is a family like the Sly family, then our family can win at least ten years, or even more. "
"You don't have to be unconvinced. Let me ask you, how many years would it take for you to obtain a third of the Schlei Family's assets at once?"
Elise sneered, "So the Grand Duchess is just a whore that can be measured with money."
"Elizabeth!" The elder slammed the table and stood up. "You're no longer a child. It's fine if you were stubborn in the past, but how can you still be like this now?"
"In any case, I won't sacrifice my own happiness!" Elise shouted, "If I have to marry myself to be worthy of my family, then you can ask someone else to be the Grand Duchess of Yanhua. Miss, I don't want to do it!"
The elder was so angry that his chest heaved up and down as he shook his head. After a while, she calmed down a little and sat down. "You're not willing to marry Norpeter. Is it because there's someone you like? Could it be that you like Grand Duke Allen? "
The arrogant Elise blushed when she heard Elder Leah's words. She turned her head and said, "Do I need to report to the Elder Council who I like?"
Although she didn't answer directly, the answer was already very clear. Elder Leah shook her head. "Grand Duke Allen has such achievements at such a young age. It's no wonder you're tempted."
Elise whispered, "I didn't start liking him just now."
The elder rolled his eyes at her. "So, you already liked him before? It seems that a lot of things happened when you went to Spear City alone to watch the ceremony. "
Elise realized that she had misspoken and simply shut her mouth. Elder Leah said again, "But I heard that Grand Duke Allen might be …"
She pointed at the ceiling.
Elise couldn't figure out anything after looking for a long time. She could only ask, "What might he be?"
"A Celestial."
The Grand Duke's pupils shrank slightly. Elder Leah continued, "If he really is a Celestial, then you should understand how big of a gap there is between you and him. Taking ten thousand steps back, if he really has feelings for you, are you willing to give up your family for him? "
Elise was speechless.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. The elder said, "Come in." Steward Stam pushed the door open and entered. He said to Elise, "Grand Duke Allen has sent something over."
This time, it was Elise who was stunned. "What is it?"
Stam walked forward and put down a long box in his hand. Opening the box, there was a scroll inside. Stam took it out and put the scroll on the table. It turned out to be a map. The elder and Elise walked over. It turned out to be a map of the southern border of the empire. A territory was circled with a pen. This territory surprisingly included a city like Satin.
Elder Leah raised her head and asked, "This is?"
"I heard that this is a map that Dawn Castle has just sent to the Grand Duke's Mansion. His Majesty has personally circled Grand Duke Allen's territory on the map. The attendant who sent the map said that it was for Grand Duke Hua Hua. Grand Duke Allen also said that if he didn't mind how poor he was, all his territories or cities could be chosen by the Boleyn Clan as a gift for his engagement to Grand Duke Hua Hua! "
"What?"
Elise and Elder Leah cried out in unison. Elise was surprised that Allen actually planned to get engaged to her. She was immediately surprised and happy. Elder Leah was shocked that Grand Duke Allen was so generous that he directly took out his territory for the Boleyn Clan to choose. Of course, the most valuable thing in this vast territory was Satin City. When it came to this city, it far exceeded a third of the Schlei Clan's wealth.
Stam couldn't help but laugh, "This Grand Duke is very good. Very good, I like him, hehe. "
In the inn that Julian had arranged for Allen, Allen, who had just taken a bath and changed his clothes, came to the bedroom and saw Lucy and Lola talking about something, chuckling from time to time. He walked over and said, "What happy things are you talking about? Tell me about them."
Lucy stood up and said, "I did something for you. I want to hear how you'll thank me."
"What did you do?"
"I helped you agree to the engagement with Grand Duke Hua Hua and took the map of the territory that was just sent from Dawn Castle to Duke Boleyn's Mansion to show our Grand Duke Allen's sincerity."
Allen was drinking water when he heard this and almost spat it out. He smiled bitterly and said, "You really did that? I already said that I was just doing Elise a favor at the banquet. I didn't take it seriously. "
Lucy looked at Lola, and then both women shook their heads. Lola said, "Are you really stupid or so stupid that you can't even see Elise's intentions?"
