"Haha, that's good, that's good. Little Sister, I will take charge of your marriage with John. You two will hold the wedding here in four days."
"So soon?" John was puzzled. He didn't understand the customs of marriage, but it seemed a bit rushed.
Redman waved his hand, signaling Annie to step aside and sat down next to John. "Don't think it's too fast. If there weren't a war coming, I might have allowed you to have a proper wedding. After all, Annie is my sister. But now it's not possible; in three months, we will be at war. I don't know if either of us will survive, so you better leave a legacy."
Slowly, Annie closed the door behind her and leaned quietly against it, a radiant smile blooming on her face like a peach blossom. She never imagined she would be so fortunate as to marry such a handsome and charming knight. Being a noblewoman didn't necessarily guarantee a bright future. In this world filled with intrigue and power struggles, many noblewomen were often forced to marry wealthy merchants or knights who were decades older than them. Most of these marriages were merely political alliances to strengthen family ties or express loyalty to the monarch.
Annie's father was none other than the renowned Viscount White Redman. The Viscount was nearly seventy years old and had had several wives throughout his life, aside from those who had passed away due to illness. And that didn't even count the numerous maidservants who had shared his bed!
Speaking of Redman's biological children, Annie was one among many wives. However, she was not born into nobility; she was merely a maidservant by his side.
Time rewound to that stormy night when the Viscount, heavily intoxicated, stumbled into the maidservants' quarters. Faced with his advances, the maidservant had no power to resist and could only endure in silence. Thus, nine months later, an unexpected life—Annie—came into this world.
Fortunately, Annie was a girl; otherwise, it would have been an even bigger scandal.
It was precisely because she was the daughter of a maid that Redman did not prioritize ceremony; allowing Annie to take on the surname James White was due to her being his maidservant's child.
She hoped that Knight John would be gentle; he should be, given his warm demeanor.
With her face flushed, Annie buried herself in bed.
"I vow to take you as my wife (husband), to possess and support each other from this day forward, in good times and bad, in wealth or poverty, in sickness and health, loving and cherishing each other until death do us part."
In Salty Fish Village, John opened the curtains wide and pushed open the window to feel the refreshing breeze.
These past few days felt like a dream, but looking at the lovely figure on the bed reminded him that it was real—he would no longer be alone; he had a family and a wife. In the future, they would have their own set of twins.
It must be twins! Thank you, great motherland!
"More Children, More Blessings": A mysterious blessing from the East; your children are destined to be twins or more, with significantly increased chances of childbirth and immunity from common diseases.
"Oh!"
Awake now was little Annie. With a smile on her face, she looked at him like a little kitten—no wait, she should now be called Annie Stephen.
Perhaps she had not yet fully embraced her new identity, Annie pulled the blanket over herself, resembling a startled little kitten. John teasingly looked at his dear wife and laughed, "What are you covering up for? Did you forget what happened last night?"
As if recalling something, a blush spread from Annie's cheeks to her ears. Finally, unsure of what gave her the strength, she lifted her head and let out a soft, delicate hum.
