Episode 426: The Battle for Dmitry (2)

relocated

With all the marriage brokers gathered in one place, Rehanna Dmitry spoke with a calm face.

I'm sure you've all come to see me for the same reason. I will tell you frankly that my second son, Rodwell, has made it clear that he has no intention of marrying, but as his mother I want to change his mind. If any of you can introduce me to a woman who can win Rhodwell's heart, I will certainly reward you in the name of Rehanna-Dmitry.

It was a respectful attitude.

Even though she has now ascended to the position of Empress Dowager (皇太后), she shows no sign of disrespect to people.

She lived up to her reputation.

The mistress of the Dmitry family was a wise woman, and this attitude of hers had played a major role in the process of Dmitry, a commoner by birth, becoming established as a nobleman.

In fact, this seating was also intentional.

Rodwell Dmitry, upon his mother's insistence on marriage, revealed that he had no intention of doing so.

Normally, she would have respected her children's wishes.

But in a situation where she was going to another country far away, she couldn't just let her second son go, who came back badly injured every time.

But that didn't mean that she had to force a political marriage.

If she showed Rodwell-Dmitry enough options, it might sway his mind.

As soon as the conversation with her son was over, she deliberately tipped off the marriage brokers so that they would rush to Dmitry immediately.

So did the marriage brokers.

Now I knew the truth.

Rihanna-Dmitry was not the kind of person who would be influenced by the preferences of a marriage broker just because she was polite and educated.

Now, who would like to speak first?

The board was laid out.

A firm woman stepped up to the situation where all eyes were on her.

I'll go first.

She was a woman of great appearance.

The woman, dressed up in gorgeous clothes, was famous for always pairing up in the Frankish kingdom and other surrounding areas.

The ornaments she received each time adorned her splendidly.

Expensive accessories did not simply reveal wealth, but were clear evidence of one's abilities and status.

Her name

It was Georgina.

As if to declare war on her rivals, she pulled out her card.

"Rodwell Dmitry is the younger brother of His Majesty the Emperor. Then it would have to be a woman with the right qualifications to make such a marriage, which everyone would recognize and bless. I can assure you,if it's Gabriella, Princess of the Franks, I'm sure they'll be a really good pair.

* * * *

Princess

The King's daughter.

The moment Gabriella's name was mentioned, the other members of looked quite perplexed.

'Look at this.

'I can't believe it's Gabriella.'

Georgina laughed .

It wasn't just the fact that she was a princess that had the other marriage brokers embarrassed.

'As all of you here are well aware, the Frankish Kingdom is a country where intermarriage with other countries is thoroughly forbidden, except for the royal family. In spite of this, the King of the Franks has made it clear that he is in favor of this marriage because of the devotion that Rodwell Dmitry showed on the battlefield. So he personally informed me of his intention to proceed with this marriage.

Last night

Frank was in an uproar.

When Georgina informed him of the disappearance of the Dmitry family, King Frank closed his eyes and said: I will not hesitate to use any means and methods.

Promote marriage by any means and in any way you can. Gabriella, or anyone else. If there is a woman in this country who would be a good match for Rodwell-Dmitry, you must actively use your experience to win Rodwell-Dmitry's heart. This is a unique opportunity. In a situation where Emperor Roman Dmitry is not very interested in womanizing, the person who will become his second son's wife can clearly lead the future.

This was an opportunity.

The king instinctively knew that with Dmitry at his back, the Frankish kingdom could leap forward.

There is something people misunderstand.

Just because Kronos and Valhalla knelt down once, it didn't mean that the competitive system of countries other than Dmitry had ended.

From now on, it was a new edition.

In order to stand at the center of power, with the Dmitry Empire at the forefront, one must win power through new competition at a new starting point.

The old man

Rodwell-Dmitry was an attractive bait.

With the full support of King Frank, Georgina naturally stood up for Gabriella.

"Rodwell Dmitry, Gabriella Frank. The union of two men and women signifies a new future. The King of Franks has made it clear that he will not make any exceptions to the rules of the Franks if this marriage takes place."

It was a trump card.

The real reason why the marriage brokers were perplexed.

The reason why the Frankish royal family would not go ahead with marriages with other countries is because the Franks are the only country that recognizes the Queen.

While some closed countries strictly forbid women to inherit the throne, the Frankish kingdom empowered anyone, regardless of gender or rank, to take over the throne.

What does that mean?

Gabriella's mother came from a reasonably prestigious family in the Frankish kingdom, and as a result, she is not pushed too far down the ranks even now.

But now she has Dmitry in her background.

She had the power to leap to the top of the ranks at once, which meant that there was a danger that Dmitry might swallow Frank.

Knowing that.

Accepted the marriage .

If it was Rodwell-Dmitry who had made an impressive showing in the war against the Kronos Empire, if it was his brother whom the current emperor cared for so dearly....

A union between Dmitry and Frank wasn't such a bad future, she thought.

I thought the same thing. Roman Dmitry is definitely not a Kronos type of politician. Considering his propensity to respect each other's territory, it would be a unique opportunity to mix blood with Dmitry.

That's it for .......

All explanations have been completed.

Smiling, Georgina walked regally back to where she belonged.

She was ahead of the curve.

No matter what weapons the other marriage brokers came prepared with, they would never be able to get past her dedication to Frank as a whole.

That was when it happened.

This time I will say it.

The gaunt, skinny woman

Melissa, the Madam Twin of Kronos, appeared.

* * * * *

Melissa said.

The person I would like to recommend is Lady Victoria of House Bellatro.

A family of one.

It was a condition that could not be aimed at the Frankish royal family, but Georgina's face stiffened quickly when she heard the family name.

'What's this disgraceful b*tch?!'

The intent was obvious .

Melissa gave a strange laugh and continued with her story.

'Count Bellatro, patriarch of the Bellatro family and father of Lady Victoria, is the maternal uncle of His Majesty the current Emperor of the Kronos Empire. When the country was shaken by Alexander's conspiracy, he was the one who risked his life to lead the revolution like Dmitry. If I were to promote the marriage with Victoria, this would mean the perfect union of the two empires of Kronos and Dmitry. And above all, Lady Victoria is quite a beauty, even the Kronos society recognizes her looks. Isn't that right, Georgina?

I glanced at Georgina .

It was a provocation.

Gabriella's only flaw was her mediocre appearance, so I deliberately pointed her out, highlighting her shortcomings.

I'm sure you'll agree, .......

Georgina finally nodded .

She couldn't be angry in front of Rehanna Dmitry.

Melissa fanned her reddened face repeatedly, but smiled broadly, as if she had won.

Dmitry is an empire. As befits the dignity of an empire, a flower as gorgeous as Lady Victoria should guard its side. Most of all, I am convinced that the Kronos Empire will be a great help to Rodwell-Dmitry in all that he does in Arcadia in the future.

It was perfect.

The Emperor of Kronos.

As the sole survivor of the Kreuz family, Jowelson would not have been able to become emperor without the help of those who supported the Kreuz.

His uncle, Count Bellatro, was the man at the center of it all.

Since Jowelson was a person who actively took steps to keep Kronos from collapsing and to move Kronos in the right direction, his marriage to his eldest daughter effectively meant a union with the Kronos Empire.

In that sense.

He mentioned the Kronos Empire.

He emphasized how Victoria was a better choice than Gabriella, meaning Frank.

Finishing her explanation, Melissa stepped back .

With a very interesting look on her face, Rihanna-Dmitry assessed the woman the two two Madame Tus had recommended.

When you get recommendations from people who are more amazing than you thought, it gives me more to think about. Is there anyone who would like to continue?

A hush fell over the room.

The previous candidates before were formidable opponents.

Even Susan, who had coaxed the Marquis Valentino, could not help but look miserable and unable to speak.

* * * *

Susan slumped.

anger was intense.

Even Gabriella and Victoria. These guys have made up their minds, haven't they?

The two Madam's to.

Georgina and Melissa were more famous than Susan, and they demonstrated the most powerful weapons they could mobilize in their own realm.

And that was in just one short day.

At first he had thought that with the foreknowledge and the background of the Marquis of Valentino, they would succeed unconditionally, but now he was dumbfounded.

It's an absolute defeat. You can't beat the previous two entities.'

Valentino.

That's quite a presence.

He was one of the wealthiest men in Cairo, and his ties to the Valentino family were certainly quite beneficial.

However.

Gabriella and Victoria's marriage was on a national scale, giving them advantages that were incomparable to Valentino's.

Moreover, the Dmitry Empire was not a country that wanted money.

If Valentino was the wealthiest man in Cairo, Dmitry was the wealthiest man on the continent with his family alone.

It was a mistake.

If I had known this was going to happen, I would have had to put up a woman associated with the Cairo royal family.

It's over.

The moment they arrived at the Dmitry.

Susan knew instinctively.

Without information, there was no way to beat Georgina and Melissa with hher personal connections that were only shown in Cairo.

Still, I had to try and get lucky.

I needed to leave evidence that I had done my best to visit the Marquis Valentino and make my excuses.

That's when it happened.

As Susan opened her mouth, a voice came from outside the door.

Prince Edwin Hector is here. May I come in?

It was an unexpected person.

Who was Edwin Hector?

Unlike the flustered married couples, Rihanna-Dmitry conveyed her intention to come in with a calm face.

Let's do that.

Squeak!

The door opened.

Edwin Hector appeared.

* * * *

It really was Edwin Hector.

The fact that an unexpected person had appeared gave the marriage brokers an upset look, and they couldn't take their gaze off him.

Rihanna Dmitry said .

"You have worked very hard to get here."

No, sir. We're here to discuss an important issue, so what's the harm?

The moment

The married couple's gazes tangled.

The girls knew instinctively.

Rihanna-Dmitry knew that Edwin Hector was going to show up, and that meant that he had given them advance notice of his participation.

The problem was that there was no reason for Hector to appear here.

Edwin-Hector was not a matchmaker, and most importantly, he had no sister to propose marriage to.

So that means....

It had nothing to do with this position.

When the marriage matchmakers gazed at him with wondering eyes, Edwin Hector said .

'I'll get straight to the point. I have heard the news that the Empress Dowager is praying for the marriage of Mr. Rodwell-Dmitry, the second son of the Dmitry family. Hector has a woman who is just the right match for him. I would like to recommend my sister Catherine Hector.

...... Catherine Hector?

Who's that?

marriage matchmakers were chattering.

It was a new name to them.

They were familiar with the family relationships of the major figures in their countries, even if it wasn't in their realm, but they had never heard the name Catherine Hector before, I assure you.

If Edwin Hector had a female sibling of the same age, I would have been alarmed when he appeared.

But Catherine?

Who the hell was she?

Edwin Hector added, as if he were aware of the stares.

It's an unfamiliar name, I'm afraid. Catherine is from Hector's side of the family. I was unaware of her existence until a short while ago, but she is my beautiful younger sister who I have recently accepted as a new member of the family.

In those words.

Sparks were popping out of the eyes of the marriage brokers.

There was no doubt about it.

That you have put forward a barrier.

It meant that Edwin Hector did everything he could to win this marriage.
