Mage Veigar

Chapter 513 Revisiting old matters
three days later.

above the hall.

Under Vega's manipulation, public opinion within the dynasty calling for Shia and Vega to get married has reached its peak.

Taking advantage of this favorable opportunity, Yiluo brought up the matter again at the court meeting.

"See Your Majesty."

Without even glancing at the expression of the first Star Magician Okasos on his right, Iroh spoke directly to Xia: "In the past few days, the public's calls for your Majesty to marry General Vega have been growing louder and louder. I dare to ask your Majesty to follow the public opinion and set a date for your wedding with General Vega as soon as possible. The current dynasty urgently needs your Majesty's marriage to stabilize the situation."

"Your Majesty, please get married as soon as possible."

Everyone in the court spoke in unison, not even giving Okasos a chance to speak.

Taking this opportunity, Okasos glanced at Vega. He found that Vega was standing there with his eyes fixed straight ahead, as if his marriage was not the topic of discussion at all, and his expression could not reveal any psychological activity.

Okasos saw his eyes shift to Xia again.

He noticed that Xia looked at Vega with affection, which made his heart sink.

From this point alone, it can be seen that Shia was not forced by Vega's violence at all. In fact, Shia herself hopes to promote this marriage. If this is prevented, it will become more difficult.

Let’s not mention these for now.

If he wants to ruin Vega's reputation in the future, it probably won't work if he starts with Shia. If he's not careful, not only will Shia not cooperate with him, she might even sell him out.

"At such a young age, he is so flawless."

Okasos became more and more wary of Vega. He realized that the calm and composed kid was no ordinary person.

It was also at this time that Xia spoke.

She looked at Vega and said, "Everything is up to General Vega. Last time, the general said that the wedding date would be set on the day of God's favor. Now it is only seven days away from the day of God's favor. If the general does not mind acting hastily, then we will proceed according to the original plan."

Xia finally mustered up the courage to make a decision.

Of course, Vega had to express his appreciation at this time, so he immediately stood up and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty is wise. The Day of God's Favor is a traditional festival of the dynasty. It is the greatest honor of my life to marry Your Majesty on the Day of God's Favor."

Shia blushed.

The praise from her beloved always made her feel overwhelmed, but today she had mustered up her courage, so she looked directly at Vega with a fiery gaze: "Then let's make a public announcement to the whole country. I hope that my marriage to the general will be blessed by the people of the whole country."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

A group of officials cheered loudly, but Okasos still did not say anything.

So it was decided that Vega and Xia’s wedding would be held in seven days. Vega was happy that there were only seven days left before the wedding, as he didn’t want any unexpected problems to arise.

But at this time he looked at Okasos.

Because the court meeting has not yet ended, as long as Okasos has not spoken, nothing can be concluded.

Everything happened just as Vega imagined. Okasos stood up at this time and said, "Your Majesty, I have something I would like to ask for your approval."

Here it comes! Vega clenched his right hand gently and concentrated his attention to prepare for Okasos's challenge.

However, what Vega didn't expect was that Okasos didn't object to Vega and Xia's marriage. Instead, he said to Xia, "I, your Majesty, would like to ask you to pardon the former guardian knight Carol and grant him the surname 'Saint Laurent'."

Shia did not agree immediately, but looked at Vega.

Vega's eyes flashed with doubt, but he immediately stood up and said, "Carol's several bad intentions have constituted treason. This time, for the sake of your Majesty, Lord Okasos, I will not pursue it for the time being. Now it seems a bit inappropriate for you to ask Your Majesty to give a traitor the surname 'Saint Laurent'."

"That's exactly what this old minister wants to say."

Okasos looked at Vega and said, "Carol's loyalty to the dynasty is beyond doubt. He just has some flaws in his way of doing things. I can guarantee this with my position as Minister of State Protection. In addition, Carol is my only disciple. He has also told the late emperor that he will inherit my will and continue to protect the dynasty. As the guardian of the dynasty, he should be given the surname 'Saint Laurent'. Therefore, I specifically mentioned this matter when your majesty is about to get married."

This time it was Vega's turn to remain silent.

It’s not that he couldn’t reject Okasos’ proposal, but the other party obviously emphasized the word “wedding”, which was a hint for him to make a political deal.

What is a political deal?

That is, Vega agreed to Okasos' proposal, and Okasos no longer opposed the Queen's marriage later.

If this is really a political deal, then Vega will obviously not suffer any loss. The dynasty plus the surname "Saint Laurent" only gives Carol the right to make suggestions. Once married, he will enjoy the same decision-making power as the queen.

But Vega didn't know whether Okasos would keep his word.

Don't let him agree to the other party's proposal, and Okasos pretend to be stupid, otherwise he will lose both the wife and the army.

So he winked at Yiluo.

This look made Yi Luo understand instantly. He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say about this matter. Based on General Vega's great contribution last time, the public's opinion on giving General Vega the surname 'Saint Laurent' has changed. I think Your Majesty can give General Saint Laurent the surname before the wedding."

"The veteran seconded the proposal."

Okasos did not object to this matter and seemed to be truly willing to facilitate this political deal.

Since Okasos is not going to cause trouble any more, Vega is happy to make this political deal. Otherwise, Okasos will jump out and deny his marriage. With his voice and influence, even if he cannot stop him from getting married, he can postpone the wedding date at will.

After making up your mind.

Vega echoed, "Your Majesty, since Lord Ocasos has guaranteed it, and Lord Carol is destined to inherit Lord Ocasos's will, then I think Your Majesty should repay evil with kindness and grant Lord Carol the surname 'Saint Laurent'."

Carol is not as good as Vega.

He is a disciple of the Star Mage. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is only a matter of time before he gets this surname. However, Vega has to eliminate the obstacles to getting this surname through a series of military exploits. This is the difference in status.

When Veigar agreed to Okasos's political deal.

This court meeting ended peacefully like this?
What surprised Vega the most was that Okasos did not go back on his word. No matter how you looked at it, he was making a lot of money from this political deal.

Through this political deal, Vega only paid the price of a Saint Laurent surname and got the same Saint Laurent surname, plus two bargaining chips: marrying Xia in seven days.
