264: Chapter 148, Marriage Alliance_3 264: Chapter 148, Marriage Alliance_3 The choice for a major noble is narrower, apart from intermarriages within the kingdom, many large families have relatives abroad.
Looking at the information of the candidates on the parchment, in addition to the intermediate nobility, there are also the side branches of the major nobility.
Clearly, Hudson’s performance has caught the attention of the big players, proving he’s worth attracting.
Fortunately, these are side branches, if a certain major noble family is willing to marry their daughter, the Koslow Family would most likely agree without any hesitation.
“Let’s go with the Hollis family!”
Hudson said indifferent.
There are no other reasons, he is merely familiar with them.
Among the five noble ladies listed, Hudson only met Melissa from the Hollis family.
The other four, may be stunning beauties, or they may be extremely unattractive.
When it comes to a lifetime decision, Hudson doesn’t dare to gamble.
It’s better to decide in advance, to avoid any changes after arriving in the capital.
As a young elite, those interested in Hudson aren’t only the local power figures, the nobles in the capital are also not averse to having another potential in-law.
If it were peacetime, an alliance with nobles of the capital would also be a good choice.
But now in a war era, power in the midst of war is imaginary.
Only the power in one’s hands is real.
When a major change occurs and chaos ensues, the fief nobles with armies can provide more assistance than the nobles who rely on royal power.
“The Hollis family, is also a good choice.
Even though they are currently in decline, their ancestors were one of the major nobility of the kingdom, their foundation is still first-class amongst the intermediate nobility.
Even up to now, they are still the second-largest clan in the southeast province, their strength is absolutely not something our Koslow family can match.
Viscount Orlan is quite a master, in recent years the Hollis family has been doing not bad, showing signs of returning to the ranks of the major nobility.
However, there is one thing you must consider, once you unite with the Hollis family, you will inevitably be wary of the Dalton Family, and may even be suppressed.”
Baron Redman warned.
“Father, such things are unavoidable, there is no need to worry too much.
The smooth progress in Mountain Domain was because the Dalton Family needed us to restrain the Nobles of the North.
Now the situation has changed, the severely injured Nobles of the North are completely suppressed by me, the threat from Mountain Domain has become prominent.
Not specifically targeting Mountain Domain is because the situation in the Northern Border is tense, war is imminent, and there is no room for internal consumption within the kingdom.
Due to the overall situation, the Dalton family should not do anything overt.
Governor Piers is likely planning to utilize this war to weaken our strength.
Not only our family is facing this pressure, within the province, several powerful intermediate nobility families will also be majorly targeted by the Dalton Family.
Major nobles restrict the intermediate nobles within their own power sphere, this is purely profit-driven.
Regardless of whom we marry, this fact will not change.”
Hudson said indifferently.
Once you are in deep debt, it does not weigh one down.
From the day we refused Earl Piers’ invitation, both parties were destined to be on opposing sides.
Compromise is useless.
Unless the power of Mountain Domain ceases to grow, otherwise, it is inevitable that a conflict will arise between us.
The tense situation only delays the time of conflict, that does not mean the contradiction does not exist.
