Chapter 593 - 31: The Astonishing Green Tea Silvana
This year is the first crucial year for Hesse Territory to challenge the Empire assessment. Whether he becomes a Kingdom Knight or a Baron has completely different implications for the Bauhinia family!
As the family patriarch, Count Suna will naturally strongly support all family members in gaining higher titles. After all, the expansion of the family bloodline means the growth of the entire family.
If the main branch of the Bauhinia family holds the title of count and there are several baron branches, undoubtedly the family’s influence within the Empire will increase significantly.
At that time, whether it is forming alliances or marriages, the family can have more choices. They might even catch the attention of a Duke, opting for a marriage between a Duke’s daughter and a promising member of the Bauhinia family.
Of course, regarding this matter, Su Li currently has no expectations.
He is only 19 years old this year, and even if it is about marriage, it’s not yet his turn.
He will have to wait until he turns 20 next year, and after hosting the Sword Granting Ceremony and becoming an adult noble, the family would consider using various resources to help him find a wife who could greatly assist him.
Although free love is indeed valuable, nobles place greater importance on political marriage.
A noble-born wife could greatly assist Su Li’s career in the Border Development Territory.
As for feelings, one can only hope that it grows over time.
According to Empire law, female courtiers cannot be promoted to a legal wife; they are akin to concubines.
Thinking of the female courtier, Su Li feels a bit troubled as he has agreed with Ingrid to select a new female courtier. Previously, he thought Silvana was quite good - a little naive and wouldn’t cause turmoil in the inner courtyard.
But reality gave him a harsh lesson; the naive one was him.
This woman is not a simple-minded girl; judging by her proficient use of various tactics, it’s clear how meticulous she is.
This is simply a cleverly disguised Green Tea!
Of course, Su Li has always strongly opposed the idea that his considerate sister could be a Green Tea.
Whether she is a Green Tea depends on whether her feelings are pure. Those who deceive for money and wealth are Green Tea, but those who only crave a boy’s body are just thoughtful sisters!
In the evening, Oliver came to Su Li to report: "Lord, everything has been coordinated. The Arrow of Light Knight Order will set off for Silver Valley tomorrow to manage their base. Meanwhile, our territory will assist them in constructing a branch of the Knight Order in Hesse Town."
"The location is at Festival Square, with the fortress of the Corona Knight Order to the east and theirs to be constructed on the south. Their Deputy Leader Knight Silvana will stay at the branch base to maintain contact with us."
"Hmm?" Su Li raised an eyebrow, the Arrow of Light Knight Order also appointed a female Leader to station in the town?
Is this a coincidence, or did they intentionally arrange it this way?
This is quite suspicious, given Constantine and Alfred’s close ties; they likely discussed and exchanged ideas.
While Su Li was pondering, a voice came from behind him: "Why, doesn’t the Lord welcome me?"
Su Li nearly bumped into the girl who was almost pressing against his back as he turned around. Silvana was standing on tiptoe, her face upturned, with silver moon-lit hair brushing against his shoulders, and the emerald bells at the ends ringing as she tilted her head.
Her left hand was behind her back, and her right index finger was gently touching her lips, her eyelashes fluttering faster than a butterfly’s wings.
As she spoke, her left foot unconsciously pivoted on the ground, her gold-threaded deerskin boots creating a scratchy sound on the bluestone bricks. Her elf cloak had somehow been swapped for a human-style corset gown, with elaborate lace collar deliberately unbuttoned at two pearls, revealing tantalizingly white and generous skin.
"I heard about your legendary achievements, my Lord, and specifically asked my father to leave me here so I could learn from you."
Oh dear! Su Li vaguely felt that this time he might become prey under the elf’s arrow.
Frankly speaking, it’s about time for this stage! Previously, he would actively seek female courtiers, but now, with his development, women should be pursuing him.
How to say this, the feeling... it’s not bad at all.
