King of German Mercenaries

Back at Denburg Castle, Marin rested for three days in a row, and only got up at noon every day. It's been quite tiring to travel around for nearly half a year. In addition to physical exhaustion, there is also mental exhaustion. Fortunately, everything was over, and Marin gave himself three days off.

During the three days, Marin spent the rest of his sleep with his family and Angela. Marin also seemed to see that the old Hoffmans looked down on Angela. It's not that I think Angela is not beautiful enough, but that Angela's status is a little low.

Generally speaking, whether it is ancient China or ancient Europe, they are very particular about the right match. Of course, this situation has changed to a certain extent after the rise of the imperial examination system in ancient China. For example, some wealthy families will marry their daughters to some scholars who are able to study hard and can get famous. However, this is also a match in disguise. Because, some scholars from humble backgrounds, if they are strong enough in the field of science, will be able to become high-ranking officials in the future, and those who are high-ranking officials and noble families will still be able to be the right family in the future.

In Europe, the situation is even worse. Generally, the marriage object of the king is the princess of another country, and he will not choose the daughter of the prince in the country.

Of course, there were also marriages between kings and some dukes. However, those dukes are all dukes of autonomous duchies, equivalent to kings of small countries. As for those dukes who do not have independent territories, they are not qualified to marry the royal family. Only a few daughters (except the eldest daughter) of the former King Edward IV of England, because the Tudor dynasty replaced the York dynasty, were married to the domestic dukes and earls. Because these princesses basically belonged to the "princesses of the previous dynasty", the scenery is gone, and no princes from other countries are willing to marry them.

Marin is now a baron of an autonomous baronial domain. Although he is a lower-level noble, there is also a gap between the lower-level nobles and the lower-level nobles.

For example, although the knight class is only one step lower than the baron, the difference is huge. Because barons can be hereditary, and knights must be re-canonized every generation. If any generation of knights does not meet the requirements of the above lords, they may not be canonized.

Therefore, the baron is rich from generation to generation, but the knight is not sure. Therefore, the baron class is not comparable to the knight class at all.

Generally speaking, autonomous barons like Marin are more popular. You know, barons are generally not self-governing, but subordinate to those dukes and earls. And many children of the baron family also go to the court of the duke or earl to serve as guards or officials to assist the duke or earl. By convention, the heirs of these barons tend to be subordinates of those dukes or earls. As for the sons of barons who do not have the right to inherit, they start as guards. But in general, these baron sons who are guards can often get the title of formal knights for a long time, but there is no fief, unless the guards are very good and get to the captain level.

The baron's daughters are generally married to the baron or the baron's heir. Of course, there are also baron's daughters who marry the uninherited sons of a duke or earl. Generally speaking, this is because the baron's daughter is too beautiful, or the baron is very capable and has become an important minister of the duchy or county. Moreover, the uninherited sons of dukes and earls, because they have no inheritance rights, are not much better than barons, even though they have high status, and even if they can't get fiefs, they are not as good as the barons of the land. Therefore, it is not too surprising to marry a baron's daughter.

However, it is unlikely that the baron wants to marry the daughter of a duke or earl. Because, the daughters of dukes and earls are generally married to great nobles or heirs of the same status, and few daughters of dukes or earls are married to barons. Moreover, the princess is also very popular.

Therefore, the general baron or the heir to the baron is to marry the daughter of the baron of the same rank as his wife.

The old Hoffmans obviously thought so too, so,

For Angela, who was "born in a family of poor knights", they were a little bit down on it.

Although Angela is beautiful and well-behaved, because of their strong family concept, the old Hoffmans just disliked Angela and felt that she was not worthy of Marin.

Marin saw this too, but he didn't say anything. After all, the old Hoffmans didn't stay here all the time, whatever they thought. Moreover, Marin can't tell the old Hoffmans "this is the family of the future pope"...

Therefore, Marin plans to spend some time and find a way to let the old Hoffmans accept Angela. After all, when Marin gets married, the old Hoffmans must be present and approved.

And Angela is not a fool, she seems to have thought of the possibility of marrying Marin. To be honest, her days in Den Burg were also very comfortable. At least, much better than the days of fleeing in Italy before.

Moreover, Marin is also very kind to him, not only fully satisfying her materially, letting her eat delicious Chinese food and wearing nice clothes every day, but also often telling her nice stories, making her very happy every day. If possible, Angela hopes to live such a life every day. However, Marin went out several times to run errands, which made Angela very lonely and anxious. Because, although the maids in the castle are attentive, no one can make her happy every day like Marin. It was because of Marin's departure that An Jialiao suddenly realized how important Marin was to her.

As the daughter of Archbishop Rovere, who is good at conspiracy, Angela is not a stupid woman who is completely clueless. It's just that Archbishop Rovere protected her too well before, so that caused her pure temperament. But after the terrifying experience that she almost fell into the hands of the enemy and was killed last time, Angela seems to have awakened some talents...

She knew that the old Hoffmans might be the future in-laws. Although, the old Hoffmans generally lived in the Hoffman Manor and were not with Marin. However, if you want to marry Marin, you must get the approval of the old Hoffmans.

It wasn't that Angela didn't marry Marin, but she clearly understood that under the current circumstances, marrying Marin was probably her best choice.

As the illegitimate daughter of a bishop who was hunted down by the Pope, Angela's identity was not visible at the moment. Without being able to prove that she was a noblewoman, it was very difficult for Angela to marry a nobleman.

Just like her sister Felice, because she could not reveal her identity, and Felice, who was only 14 years old, had no choice but to marry the son of a vulgar country landlord because she had nowhere to live with her mother, Lucrezia. , in exchange for the landlord's family taking in their mother and daughter.

The problem Angela is currently encountering is the same as that of her younger sister Ferris - that is, she cannot and dare not disclose her identity, nor can she prove that she is a noble girl. Therefore, now that Angela is going to marry, it is difficult to marry a knight, let alone a baron.

Although, she looks pretty. But in this era, without a woman from aristocratic background, it is too difficult to marry an aristocrat. Most, pretty commoner girls, can marry a wealthy non-aristocratic businessman. Or, you can only be the lover of the nobles and be nurtured...

For the current Angela, it was definitely a stroke of luck to marry a baron lord like Marin. Moreover, Angela really likes this big boy who is very good to himself. Marin not only cared about Angela's life, but also kindly helped her forge her identity as the daughter of a knight, clearing the identity barrier for their union.

Now, Marin and Angela, that one is willing to marry, the other is willing to marry, it is really a concubine of love. However, barons are rarely willing to marry the daughters of knights. Only a baron who is very poor will marry the daughter of a knight. A baron like Marin who controls such a large territory and has so much money, not to mention the baron's daughter, the daughter of some impoverished earl, can be married, as long as they are willing to pay a little profit...

Therefore, Angela is also very worried that the old Hoffman couple will prevent Marin from marrying him. For this reason, Angela, whose strategic talent began to awaken, began to try her best to please Mrs. Mary. As for the old Hoffman, not only is it difficult to deal with, but also, there are differences between men and women, so it is inconvenient to please him, at most you can only give him some gifts.

However, Angela is now relying on others, spending all Marin's money, how can there be money to buy gifts for old Hoffman? So, wise Angela, began to specialize in Lady Mary. Moreover, Mrs. Mary is also a very gentle and beautiful woman, and it is easier to talk. Unlike Old Hoffman, who had a stern face all day, as if others owed him a lot of gold coins, which also made Angela a little afraid to approach.

As a result, Angela quickly tried her best to enter the mode of "pleasing the future mother-in-law", revolving around Mrs. Mary all day long, and telling Mrs. Mary the fairy tales that Marin told her. Fortunately, these stories are all brought by memories of Marin's past lives. Otherwise, if the story that Mrs. Mary told the original Marlin was told, it would be "the class door gets the axe"...

Following Angela's strategy, Mrs. Mary was also in a tangle, because although she looked down on Angela's background, she was very satisfied with Angela. So, she was tangled - do you agree or disagree with this girl becoming her daughter-in-law?
