One Piece: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 602
The 24-year-old Xiao He-Nar, standing on the main hall of the Grand Court, attracting the attention of thousands of people, he only felt that all this happened so fast, so suddenly, with a sense of illusion.

A month ago, he, his eldest brother Xiaohe-Paul, and his father Xiaohe-Abin didn't have a surname yet, and the whole family was still immersed in the cruel reality of his four brothers dying in battle.

But all of this was just a month ago, more than 20 days ago, when the king's order came from the palace, everything changed, earth-shaking changes.

Their family was given a surname by His Majesty the King, and the surname was named after Xiaohe City, the capital of the White Dragon Kingdom. This is really the highest honor!
At that time, Gnar, knowing that he would put the surname Xiaohe in front of his name in the future, was already stunned and shocked enough.

But something even more unexpected happened. He, Xiaohe-Nar, the sixth and youngest son of the Xiaohe family, was chosen as the son-in-law of His Highness the Second Princess, Angelica.

Not only that, in order to set off the noble status of Princess Angelica, Gnar's original military rank of Colonel of the Royal Forest Division was promoted.

He jumped to become a major general and deputy commander of the Imperial Forester, and became the second member of the Imperial Forester besides his elder brother Paul.

Gnar joined the army at the age of 15 and has been in the army for nine years. His original colonel did not rely on family connections, but he worked hard with sweat and blood.

Gnar couldn't be more clear about the defense army of the White Dragon Kingdom and the affairs in the army.

If he can't become a son-in-law, if he wants to become a major general, his rank should be promoted to the level of a general officer, plus he may need to avoid suspicion, after all, his eldest brother is also a high-ranking officer in the army.

If this is the case, if Gnar wants to reach his current position, he should not think about it before the age of 30.

But all of this changed when he became the consort of the royal family, and a new chapter of his life opened.

In the main hall, Gnar carefully held the small wooden sign of his fifth brother, with a pair of eyes, he glanced aside from time to time.

He was looking at Angelica, but it was a pity that Angelica, who was wearing a red hijab, still didn't let him get what he wanted.

Gnar has never seen Angelica, whether it was before, after the engagement, or until today's wedding day.

Today is also the first time I saw Angelica with my own eyes. It is estimated that I will have to wait until I enter the bridal chamber before I can see the first side of Angelica's true face.

Gnar and Angelica walked to the center of the hall, saluted Matsurizawa and Ayane, then stepped aside, waiting for the newlyweds to enter the venue, and then reported the wedding together.

Angelica came in, Angelina also arrived in a special way, and it was Alan's turn.

Speaking of Allen, Matsurizawa may be the one who bothers Matsuriza the most among the protagonists of today's wedding.

A month ago, news spread that Matsurize was going to be engaged to Angelica and Allen, and that they would choose an auspicious day to get married.

Only Allen heard the news and entered the palace non-stop, hoping that Matsurize would take back his order.

Allen's reason is also very simple. It's not that he doesn't want to get married, but after the Bailong incident, he didn't rest for a day, and he rejoined the Weapons Research Institute. He didn't want to waste time because of other things. Delayed his work at the weapons research institute.

But Alan was stubborn, and Matsurize was even more stubborn. He told Alan at the time.

"Who do you think you are? Without you, the world would not turn around. Not to mention not delaying the time, even if it really delays the progress of Pluto, you must marry me."

That time was Alan's first time, and in his first impression, his father Matsurizawa was so angry with him.

In the end, Alan still didn't hold back Matsurize, but it wasn't all fruitless, at least compared to his sister Angelica and several younger brothers, he gained his exclusive right to choose.

In today's big wedding, except for Allen, the others, their partners, were all directly designated by Matsurizawa, and they were not chosen by themselves.

Alan was different, Matsurize was also afraid that this kid would really become stubborn, and it wouldn't be good if it really made a big fuss.

So in order to further appease Alan, it can be regarded as a reward for Alan's contributions to the White Dragon Kingdom over the years, giving him the opportunity to choose a wife.

In fact, it's not a good choice, it's just that Alan chooses one of the candidates that Matsurize has already selected.

Originally, Alan should have been in a dilemma for this kind of thing, but when he saw one of the piles of names, he quickly made a decision.

The candidates Matsurize gave to Alan were all daughters of civil and military officials. Judging from their father's official positions, the worst one was also the head of a county.

In the main hall, the waiter loudly called out the names of the second living newlyweds.

"Newlyweds Matsuriza-Allen and Tam-Mingzhu arrive."

It was Tam Mingzhu, the granddaughter of the kingdom's left minister Tam Ahrejamin, who Allen caught in his eyes.

The reason why Allen made such a choice was not because of the political power of the leftist Tam, nor because of the wealth of Tam's family, but because he was the most familiar with Mingzhu among the list of candidates at that time.

Since Mingzhu was very young, she often accompanied her mother and grandmother into the palace to greet Ayane.

As a queen, Lingyin only had three daughters, and now there are only two. A little girl like Mingzhu is very much loved by her.

Mingzhu and the princes and princesses of the royal family have known each other since childhood. Unlike Gnar, as a man, it is not very convenient for him to enter and leave the palace.

The relationship between Ai Lun and Mingzhu was also acquainted with Ai Lun after returning to Bailong in the past two years. Before that, the two were just acquainted friends.

Allen's idea is very simple. Compared with strangers, he would rather marry someone who knows the basics, knows how to behave, and has a little friendship as his wife.

However, Allen may not have thought of what his combination with Mingzhu would represent after today.

In addition to this Bailong incident, Allen's contribution is actually no less than Gerald's. From the perspective of record, on the surface, it is much more brilliant than Gerald's.

Left Chancellor Tam became his father-in-law, which complicates White Dragon's succession to the throne.

"Newlyweds Matsurize-Eddie and Xue Rui are here."

The fifth prince, Eddie, and his wife Xuerui are not young. They are of the same age and were born as the daughter of Kazak, the right minister of the kingdom.

But Eddie's ability is incomparable to Allen's. He will not have those troubles of happiness in the future.

"Newlyweds Matsurize-Aimory and Emmon-Fu arrive."

Emory's new wife, of course, also comes from an aristocratic family, it should be said that she is a scholar's family, she is the granddaughter of Dr. Emon J of O'Hara School, and she is also a young girl.
