Chapter 138: Alisa Who Can't Get Married

December 26, 289, the imperial calendar of the Britannia Empire.

morning.

Pendragon, Baiyang Palace.

Su Cheng walked towards the meeting hall with unhurried steps.

The reason why Su Cheng came to Baiyang Palace early in the morning is because today is the day for the "big meeting".

The "Great Council" of the Britannia Empire is held irregularly.

When the emperor encounters a major event that needs to be summoned to discuss with all the civil servants and knights, or encounters a major event that needs to be announced to all the civil servants and knights, the emperor will convene a "big council".

Generally speaking, when the emperor wants to convene a "Great Council", he will notify all civil servants and knights that the "Great Council" is about to be held the day before the convening, so that they will not be absent.

Last night, an envoy came to Su Cheng's mansion and informed Su Cheng that the "big meeting" would be held on December 26th at 8 o'clock in the morning of the next day, asking Su Cheng to arrive on time and not to be absent.

If there is no justifiable reason, it is not allowed to miss the "Great Council". If you miss the "Great Council" without a reason, it is a very serious matter!

The emperor asked you to come to a meeting, but you didn't come? !

Therefore, although Su Cheng really didn't want to come to Baiyang Palace to attend the meeting so early in the winter, but no matter how reluctant, Su Cheng could not miss the "big meeting" without reason.

So Su Cheng could only bite the bullet and get out of bed, braving the severe cold to come to Baiyang Palace.

Soon, Su Cheng entered the familiar chamber.

Many knights and civil servants who had already arrived in the chamber early noticed Su Cheng's arrival.

Many knights and civil servants immediately saluted Su Cheng respectfully.

And most of the people who didn't salute cast friendly glances at Su Cheng.

Su Cheng found that—it was almost impossible to find any eyes with negative emotions cast on him.

The rescue battle of the Lund Kingdom had already established Su Cheng's great prestige in the hearts of everyone.

No one will despise Su Cheng anymore.

Su Cheng earned everyone's respect with his hard work.

There are quite a few young knights and civil servants who regard Su Cheng as their idol, and hope that they can also achieve such outstanding military exploits at such a young age like Su Cheng.

And Su Cheng smiled very politely and nodded to all the people who saluted him.

At this time, Su Cheng found two acquaintances in the knight queue.

It's Ithel and Alisa.

Iser and Alisa were standing in the middle of the knight queue, and the father and daughter seemed to be talking about something.

After seeing Iser and Alisa, Su Cheng quickly walked over with a smile, and said hello:

"Mr. Issel! Little Alisa...no, Alisa! Good morning!"

"Oh! It's Mr. Cheng, and good morning to you too!" Issel responded with a smile.

And Alisa also showed a charming smile after seeing Su Cheng coming.

"Good morning, Su Cheng."

After hearing Alisa's greeting to Su Cheng, Iser couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

"Huh? Alisa, when did you have such a good relationship with Mr. Cheng? When Mr. Cheng greeted you before, didn't you always look like you were indifferent? Why are you so enthusiastic now?"

As soon as Iser finished speaking, Alisa pouted in displeasure, patted Iser's wide back heavily, and said:

"Father, it's too much for you to say that. What do you mean by 'I always look like I don't care'?"

"Am I wrong?"

"Um..."

Alisa wanted to refute, but her father was telling the truth, and she couldn't refute at all.

Before the start of the Lund Kingdom rescue battle, she was indeed indifferent to Su Cheng, and when Su Cheng greeted her friendly, she always looked indifferent.

"So, we were not friends with Su Cheng before, so of course we would be a little colder! Now that Su Cheng and I are friends, of course it is impossible to be as cold as before!"

"Oh?"

Iser had a look of surprise on his face.

"Daughter, have you become friends with Mr. Cheng?"

Alisa rolled her eyes at Issel, and then said angrily:

"Yes, are you unhappy that I have a new friend now?"

"How can you be unhappy!" Iser waved his hand boldly, and then continued, "My daughter has an excellent friend, I'm so happy! I haven't seen you have a new friend for a long time."

Then, Issel suddenly showed an intriguing and weird smile on his face, and then said to Alisa in a joking tone:

"Actually, if you can improve your relationship with Mr. Cheng, you will be even happier as a father. Daughter, you are already 19 years old this year, and it will be a new year in a few days. You are so old , but not yet married, to be honest - I am a little worried about my father..."

After all, Iser showed a melancholy expression.

After listening to Iser's words, Alisa's face was flushed immediately, and she said in a flustered tone:

"Father, father! Please don't, don't say anything like 'I'm so old and haven't married yet'! Indeed, indeed! I'm 19 years old this year, and I'm going to be 20 soon. I'm still not married at this age Girls are indeed rare! But I don’t think there’s anything shameful about it! I don’t care either!”

In this different world, although the level of medical treatment and diet is far better than that of the earth in the Middle Ages, the average age is still quite low.

The average age of men is only 39 years old and that of women is only 42 years old.

Su Cheng doesn't know the average age of marriage in other countries, but Su Cheng knows the average age of marriage in the Britannia Empire.

The average age of marriage in Britannia was 16 for men and 15 for women.

In other words, the vast majority of women get married when they are just adults.

Carol is 16 years old this year, but she is not married yet, and she doesn't even have a lover, which is quite normal.

And Alisa is 19 years old this year and will soon be 20 years old, but she is still single...

That's a little out of the ordinary.

Alisa can already be regarded as an "old leftover girl" in this different world.

Iser didn't pay attention to Alisa's words, but turned his head and said to Su Cheng in a joking tone:

"Mr. Cheng, my daughter is 2 years older than you. Although she is a bit older, she is still a beauty through and through. I wonder if you are willing to go further with Alisa? I am very happy to see Mr. Cheng, the relationship between a young talent like you and my daughter who can't get married is even closer."

"I've said it all, don't say that I can't get married! If I want, I can get married now!"

"Ah? This, this..."

Su Cheng glanced at Alisa's pretty face, which was not inferior to that of Carol, and blushed a little unconsciously.

Seeing that Su Cheng fell into hesitation, Alisa couldn't help but said anxiously:

"Su Cheng! Why are you still twitching? You don't really take my father's joke seriously, do you?"

"Actually, what I said just now wasn't all a joke." Iser suddenly said seriously, "I'm really happy to see the relationship between Mr. Cheng and you go further. After all, daughter, you can't find someone else now. Can the object of your marriage be married?"

"It's not that I can't get married! If I want to marry, I can get married now!"
