Lord: Married To A Countess At The Beginning

In the early morning, when the sun set on the city of thorns ruled by the Field family, Gray also woke up from last night's sleep.

At the moment, he lives in the guest room of Rose Castle.

As an ancient family in the kingdom with a history of more than three hundred years, the Field family's family wealth is extremely huge.

The decoration and carpets in the guest rooms are unparalleled luxuries.

Crystal cups and gold candlesticks sparkling in the sun can be seen everywhere.

The pillowcases and quilts on the bed all have thorn and rose patterns embroidered with gold threads.

Gray stretched and after putting on his clothes, he walked out of the room.

Outside the door, two maids were waiting.

Seeing Gray come out, one of the two maids entered Gray's room and began to tidy up the furnishings and bedding.

The other one took Gray to the next room to wash up, and then took Gray through the complicated Rose Castle. After about ten minutes, Gray finally arrived at the restaurant.

Breakfast has already been prepared for Gray.

In fact, there was no need for a maid to lead the way. Gray had already memorized some of the routes to Rose Castle.

Although there would be some detours from his room to the restaurant, he had already memorized it.

Even if no one leads the way, Gray will never get lost.

It's just that his nominal wife, the owner of Roseburg, the Countess of the Field family, is extremely wary of and rejects him.

Ever since she married Anna Field two days ago, the other party's maid has been staring at her all the time.

Gray even estimated that the countess had regarded her husband as a tool used by the Harrington family to steal from the Field family.

Of course, Gray couldn't guarantee that his cheap dad didn't have this idea.

But as far as Gray himself was concerned, he never wanted to steal anything from the Field family.

He doesn't even want to be a tool in the marriage.

But there is no way, the nobles in this world have their own set of survival rules.

In this world, noble titles can only be inherited by the eldest son.

As for other extra sons, the great nobles basically use them as marriage tools to maintain friendship and connections between families.

Of course, if these sons who do not have the right to inherit the title can show other talents and abilities, they will naturally be valued by the family, and the family will respect their ideas.

Unfortunately, Gray didn't show much talent.

Therefore, he was sent to Fieldland by his father.

According to his previous life, he married into the Field family.

Maybe his surname is no longer Harrington now.

So Gray's thoughts don't matter in this marriage.

What matters is whether the Field family and the Harrington family get the benefits they want from it.

As for Gray's own mood and situation, no one cares.

Even if he went to cry to his cheap father, he would only tell him coldly that this was a necessary sacrifice for the future of the family. As a child of the Harrington family, Gray must accept and take the initiative to maintain the relationship between the two families.

Just thinking about it gave me a headache. I had just recovered my past life memory and this happened to me.

Yes, Gray came to this world eighteen years ago, but for some unknown reason, his consciousness only stayed in his young body for a few days, and then he fell into a deep sleep, or his memory fell into some kind of Sealed status.

It wasn't until some time ago that Gray recovered the memory of his past life.

Then he got married.

What left Gray speechless was that it had been two days since he married his wife, and except for seeing the beautiful countess during the wedding on the first day, he had never seen her again.

Even on the wedding night, he slept alone.

Just very helpless.

But there's nothing I can do about it, who is the count? I think he is just using himself as a shield.

Although he is the nominal husband of the countess, he has no title, no influence, no money, nothing. To get the name of the countess's husband, he has to pay a lot of attention.

After all, 99% of the aristocratic children in this world do not have the title of husband of an earl.

Most noble children, when they reach adulthood, are either supported by their families or have to leave their families and make a living on their own.

Quite an earl's husband?

Stop dreaming, it would be good to get a decent job.

It’s a cruel world, so my situation is pretty good?

At least I don't have to worry about food and drink, and I still have the pocket money given by the countess. I think it's not bad to eat soft food. After all, I am handsome, so it is reasonable to eat soft food.

Gray complained silently in his heart, but remained calm on the outside.

Eating cold bread, milk, and some broth, these foods are already considered top-notch in the eyes of people in this world.

But it was a little hard to accept in Gray's mouth.

Especially the broth has a fishy smell.

Gray took two bites and couldn't bear it anymore.

He was about to have an attack, but when he looked up, he saw the maid looking at him calmly.

Gray thought about it and decided to give the chef a chance. After all, a big shot like him didn't need to argue with a chef.

After finishing breakfast, Gray cleared his throat and said, "Tina, don't you have your own job?"

Gray's meaning was obvious. He was telling the maid not to stare at him all the time.

Tina's expression did not change when she heard this, but her red lips slightly opened: "I am Lady Anna's personal maid. Lady Anna asked me to serve Lady Gray personally in the future, so I don't need to do anything. There are enough servants in Rose Castle."

Miss Tina's meaning is also very obvious: Yes, I just have nothing to do, and I just want to keep an eye on you. This is the order of the Earl.

Gray:…

Bear it!

Who allowed himself to be just a pitiful and helpless little son-in-law?

Whether in Harrington or at Field, his status is not very high.

Seeing Gray staring at her without speaking, Tina's expression remained calm, completely ignoring Gray's resentful eyes.

"If Lord Gray has any dissatisfaction with me, you can tell me and I will convey it to Lady Anna."

Hearing Tina say this without changing her expression, the corner of Gray's mouth twitched.

If I'm not satisfied with you, can you tell me?

No matter how he sounded, Gray felt threatened.

He is obviously the husband of the countess, but he cannot even meet with the countess. The communication between the two has to go through the maid.

Forget it, Gray didn't think Tina would really tell Anna his dissatisfaction.

After these few days of getting along and communicating, Gray has almost given up the idea of ​​getting closer to Count Anna.

The Countess was so high above others that she was nothing more than a husband in name only. Being able to eat and drink for free in the castle and still have money to take out was already pretty good.

Although Gray has expressed several times in the past few days that he has no thoughts about the Field family and hopes to meet and communicate with Count Anna.

But he is relatively aloof and has no intention of meeting him at all.

In this case, Gray gave up the idea of ​​further development with Count Anna, and just regarded the other party as his long-term meal ticket and protective umbrella.

Having made up his mind, Gray felt much more relaxed.

At the same time, he also began to think about the future.

Since there is no future between him and the countess, then he has to consider giving himself some power, influence and wealth.

After all, as the old saying goes, it is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others.

Maybe he would be kicked out by the countess that day. This is not without precedent.

Now he had to get more benefits for himself while he was still the nominal husband of the countess.

After all, he sacrificed his reputation to benefit both the Harrington and Field families. Isn't it too much to seek some future protection for himself with the Countess?

As soon as he thought about this, Gray immediately showed a kind smile to the maid in front of him.

"Tina, I heard that there are many books on cultivation in the Field family's study. I wonder if I can go and take a look?"

ps: The time-travel issue should have been revised, but I’m not sure if everything has been revised in place. Now the protagonist has come to this world since he was a child, and both his soul and body are his own.
