Chapter 298 The Truth (Part 2)
"What's the specific situation?" When Romon was so sad, the conversation from afar came to the main point.
“根据我得到的消息,为了解决有功之人的争端,可能采取假面舞会的形式,也就是说,和以前一样,我们穿着舞袍,里面不着内衣,戴上了面具,然后任凭他们选择.”斯莱苦笑的说着:“按照我的猜测,很可能按照功勋,有着一到三次的抽选机会,领地的好坏就看他们的运气,当然,我们其实都是勋爵和爵士家族的女儿和夫人,领地大小相差有限,无非是贫乏和富裕的区别.”
“你是说,你现在不得不面临着被人选择的命运?而且对象,根本就不是你能做主的?”欧文娜惊愕的看着自己的好友,曾几何时,那张天真甜美的面庞已经不再,换之的,是一张写满了无奈的脸.
Could this be the happy and happy good friend I used to be?
Is it the woman who swore that she would be happy forever if she only loved one in her life?
How did it become like this?
“欧文娜,你也别替我难过了,这些根本就不是我们能选择,毕竟按照贵族的规矩,下一代继承者必须是我们的孩子才行,为了保护现有的地位和财富,我只能这么做.你是知道的,如果不这样去做的话,我的贵族身份和爵士夫人的头衔是很难保住,可是,我什么都不会,如果让我去像那些平民一样生活,我还不如去死.反正是要找一个丈夫来维持自己现有的荣誉,那么,选择一位有功之臣,也不是什么坏事,你说呢?”斯莱苦笑了一下,随即倒主动的开解起欧文娜来了.
欧文娜脸色多少有些难看,她还是第一次听说这种事情,以前虽然也接触过一些上流社会的糜烂生活,但是在她的印象中,至少,贵族小姐们选择丈夫还是有着一定的自主权,即便是那些再嫁的贵族夫人,也可以选择不嫁,或是选择一位自己喜欢的人嫁掉,财产更是不会受到任何的威胁与影响.
Moreover, due to the provisions of the goddess of love, men can only marry a legal wife, which greatly protects the rights and interests of women.
But now, due to the war, the goddess of love actually allows men to marry three wives temporarily!
“斯莱,我知道你说的这些话都很有道理,可是,你喜欢这样的生活吗?和一个你不爱的男人生活一辈子,只是为了保住自己现有的地位?这种生活,真是你想要的吗?为什么事情会变成这个样子?为什么女神会同意男人娶三妻这种荒诞的事情?斯莱……”欧文娜实在是有些难以接受,这种荒诞的事情,居然会出现在自己的周围?
“嘘!小声点,欧文娜,别让教会的人听见,你呀你,你怎么能这么说女神呢!小心以后她会在你的婚姻上……”说到这里,斯莱似乎也有些怕了,她看看四周,发现没人在附近,这才更加放低了声音说:“你以后还要嫁人呢,千万别再说这种话了,如果不小心被爱情女神教会的人听见,给你下了诅咒,那么,你以后的婚姻之路就很可能不会平坦了.再说,既然这种神喻已经出来了,就不是我们几个人的力量能够阻止的了,说太多话,反倒会给自己惹下麻烦,我们,就认命吧.”
"Accept your fate?" When Owenna heard this word, she suddenly became angry. This word had never appeared in the cognition of aristocratic women.
Although girls from poor families are indeed difficult to be independent in marriage, this is for the sake of life.
However, women who grew up in a noble family do not have to worry about life at all.
Although they are forced to choose some men of equal status to get married, at least they must obtain their consent to achieve the legality of such marriage.
This is because to God, female believers and male believers have the same value, and of course they will not suppress women.
Not to mention, there are many goddesses.
Under God's balance, the status of women in this world is not low, at most slightly inferior to that of men.
Moreover, no matter how noble men and women are romantic outside, they are legally recognized that they are always monogamous. Although this marriage also has some arrangement, it is much more free than the current form.
"Okay, Owenna, let's not mention this, let's talk about you, do you have a married partner now?" Slay looked at his friend and said with some envy: "I really envy you. At least, your family has not been affected too much by the magic disaster. You can also choose a married partner freely. Even if that person may marry two more wives in the future, your situation is much better than us."
Speaking of this, Sly smiled bitterly, picked up the wine glass he had just taken away, raised his head and drank it again. A delicately dressed face turned pink under the urging of alcohol.
At this time, Owenna did not snatch it anymore, she knew her friends needed it.
At this moment, a chaotic footsteps suddenly came from the corridor, and then someone pushed open the vacant door. Then, a middle-aged man dressed in a pretty decent manner walked in, and the eyes of the woman in the hall gathered at him.
"Sley..."
When Owenna saw her friend shaking her body and stood up, she couldn't help but worry about holding her.
"It's okay, Owenna, this is for the rehearsal of the party. The real choice is that I have to wait for the magic disaster in the region to end. I want to go over and communicate with them. You can rest here so that you won't cause any trouble." Sly smiled at her, then sorted out her clothes, and walked towards the hall.
At this time, more than a dozen men had already walked in from outside the door one after another. Although it was a rehearsal, they were indeed meritorious officials.
Since they are meritorious ministers in the devil disaster, they are all heroic people no matter what.
Even if there is an old man, he will send his son to represent him.
So, at first glance, most of them are young men in knight outfits, middle-aged people, but not too old, and there are young men who obviously represent their father to accept women, with a young age!
At the same time, the women waiting in the hall pretended to chat and secretly glanced at the men. When they found that these people were of good age and condition, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did they feel that this transaction is not too ugly.
After all, these may be husbands who will live for a long time in the future.
"Mrs. Please be quiet first and let me introduce you. These dozens of heroes who have just made military achievements recently. This time they are here to receive training in aristocratic etiquette. Ladies and ladies, please help them as much as possible!" Mrs. Perry walked to the center of the hall and said loudly.
Owenna sat in a hidden corner of the hall, watching the farce helplessly.
Just now, my friend Sly had already told her clearly that this party was a blind date exercise specially arranged by the Goddess of Love Church.
Of course, this is to give these poor ladies and ladies a chance to choose from.
If Sley said that in the future, he would still wear the same robes and the same masks, but in fact, the appearance and smell of people are different. If he is familiar with each other and recognizes each other, he might be able to choose the person he wants in that game.
This is not only a chance to cheat, but also a chance to give them a chance to choose their future husbands.
Although in fact, this choice is so helpless, because the meritorious persons have different contributions, the husbands they can choose are actually very narrow, but this is to give them some face and preserve their little dignity left.
"Hello, are you Mr. Kadev? Haha, I've heard of your heroic deeds for a long time, but I didn't expect that the real person was so handsome..." A noble young woman was talking to a middle-aged man with a smile.
"Miss, can you be lucky enough to invite you to dance?" A young knight poked his hand out to a lady very gentlemanly.
After a moment, almost every lady and lady talked to a man.
Even Owenna's friend Sly had to join this mask game and acted as a pitiful young woman. The young man opposite her seemed to have a bad background. Without going through this, the young woman's snow-white and plump breasts in her robe were faintly visible, making him almost unable to control himself...
"Will the woman's fate be no longer dominated by herself if she loses her son and husband?" Looking at what was happening in front of her, Owenna sighed a lot.
These noble ladies and ladies have to regard their marriage as collateral for future life because they have lost their husbands and sons in the devil's disaster, or because their families are threatened. Can such a life be happy?
Even if they like this kind of life, can they bear it?
To endure living for the rest of your life with someone you don’t love?
If you just think about this kind of life, you will feel your scalp numb, let alone try it!
But, if you don’t do this, how should you choose?
How should I dominate my destiny in the future?
In the hall, the women and men all looked elegant and glamorous in the face. But, do the other party know what they look like in private?
Now you can chat and laugh and appreciate each other. Once you get married, will the hidden dangers be exposed?
"No, I don't want to be like them." Owenna's fists clenched tightly, and her pretty face was full of determination.
She should not live such a life that is at mercy! Once these women who seem to be incredibly glorious lose the power they rely on, they will become like this pitiful now!
How miserable is a woman’s command if she loses her power! This kind of misery, regardless of whether she has a noble status or not, as long as you are weak, you will inevitably not encounter such a situation!
"I don't want to be like them. I want to...be strong, I want to be a knight!"
Although you can't fully grasp your own destiny after becoming a knight, it is obvious that at least this level of destiny can be completely reversed.
Knights are precious. Even in this booming era, no one will think that they have too many knights.
And this will bring privileges and status to the knights.
