In the Gunnhild family's manor, the monthly family gathering is held as usual.

Qin dragged her tired body as she walked in the garden of the manor, her high heels making a dull sound on the stone floor.

"Ta...ta..."

The rhythmic footsteps arouse people's endless reverie.

Qin pushed open the door of the villa, and all she saw were nobles in luxurious clothes.

Although Mondstadt has now abolished the so-called aristocratic system, these people show a completely different temperament from the common people just by standing there.

But Qin, who was mixed in among them, seemed out of place.

Because Qin did not come in a dress, but in the uniform issued to her by the knights.

It seems that she wants to emphasize something by this. She is not only the daughter of Patriarch Gunnhild, but also the acting leader of the current West Wind Knights and the real leader of the Knights.

I would like to warn those who want to take advantage of the topic to stop thinking about it.

But her idea didn't seem to work.

A beautiful middle-aged woman in a red dress saw Qin standing at the door and walked straight down the stairs.

The people around her looked at the beautiful woman with a mixture of admiration and fear.

She walked to Qin's side, stood still and nodded slightly.

"Qin, you're here."

"Yes, mother."

Qin showed great respect for her mother.

Even though she is now completely superior to her in terms of political status, she still actively lowers her head.

Qin's mother, Frederica, is now an integral part of the Gunnhild family and a very important figure in Mondstadt.

Even the Cardinal of Dawn from the West Wind Church had to give in when he saw it.

Of course, this is not because these two are ex-husbands and ex-wives... well, at least it's not just that.

From this woman's face, Qin seemed to be unable to see the traces left by time.

This woman had been teaching her to practice chivalry since she was a child, and the face in her memory was almost the same as her current face.

Thinking of her childhood experiences, Qin's blue eyes flashed slightly.

Fortunately, because she lowered her head, Frederica did not notice anything strange about her daughter.

"Let's take a seat first."

As the patriarch, Frederica easily controls the entire family meeting.

However, since it was a meeting, everyone in the venue was still communicating in a dance-like manner, and there was not a single serious topic.

But with Qin's arrival, people's attention in the family inevitably focused on her.

There are many young people's eyes among them, including admiration from the same sex and intense enthusiasm from the opposite sex.

But no matter what those men think, Qin's future has nothing to do with them.

After all, Mondstadt has now completed further modernization. In any case, marriage between people of the same race is not allowed.

Those men also knew this, so from the very beginning they knew that the woman in front of them, who was outstanding enough to overwhelm the entire younger generation of Mondstadt, must have nothing to do with them, even if some of them were already related to the Gunnhild family.

The same goes for being extremely thin.

But it seems that Frederica has something to discuss today.

"cough."

She coughed lightly, and the servants around her immediately understood and brought the elders who had been waiting for a long time to her.

Frederica turned around without any fluctuation in her eyes.

"Qin, there are no other topics at the family gathering today. The only thing that needs to be discussed is your life-long event."

"Huh? Mother...but I haven't heard of it."

Hearing this, Qin looked startled, and her pink lips slightly opened.

"Yes, I was afraid that you would think too much, so I didn't tell you. You are already a grown man. We have never mentioned this matter before, but now is the time."

Frederica looked calm, as if she was not talking about her daughter's marriage at all.

If it weren't for the fact that her and Qin's faces were quite similar, outsiders might have thought that Frederica was a stepmother who was anxious to get rid of the oil bottle.

Facing her mother's gaze, Qin opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

After all, Frederica only talked about the matter and did not intervene directly.

As a mother, she does have such rights.

What she did was actually no different from those parents in ordinary families who push for marriage all the time. She couldn't stop her parents from talking.

If the person concerned is annoyed, just ignore it, but never shut up, because that will only intensify the conflict.

Seeing that Qin didn't refute, Frederica's eyes flashed with satisfaction.

After several senior and powerful elders from the family arrived, she slowly spoke.

"Guys, what we are discussing today is my daughter's marriage. Do you have any ideas?"

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally a fat elder stood up and made some suggestions.

"This matter still depends on the patriarch's thoughts. Do you have any favorite candidates?"

The elders kicked the ball back again.

After all, they didn't dare to make rash judgments about the clan leader and the leader of the knights.

Even if it is possible, it must be done with the approval of the clan leader.

Hearing this, Frederica was not surprised. None of these old guys were human beings.

Even if I have an idea in my mind, I will be afraid of conflicting with her ideas, and naturally I will not take the initiative to speak out.

In this case, she could only express her opinion first.

"As Qin's mother, I naturally respect Qin's choice. However, after all these years, this child still has not been able to choose a suitable candidate. As a mother, I am very worried, so I decided that if she returns before the end of this year,

If I can’t decide on a candidate, then I will make a decision on marriage.”

Her voice was calm and steady, and Qin could not help but reject the content of her words.

After all, she is already considered old among the nobility, but even so, her mother still gave her half a year to pursue love.

Of course, whether the outcome of the chase can be approved by Frederica is another matter.

Hearing Frederica's speech, the eyes of the elders in the underground flickered. Although they had other thoughts in their minds, they could only applaud at the moment.

In fact, Frederica's topic today was somewhat beyond their expectations. Without her suggestion, the matter would have been discussed by a few of their elders. But what Frederica said now was equivalent to another

Give Qin absolute freedom for half a year.

"We think the clan leader's decision is very appropriate."

"Uh...yeah, yeah."

The elders all echoed Frederica's words. It wasn't until Frederica's eyes swept over several people that the elders knew that the matter was declared completed, and then they withdrew.
Chapter completed!
