My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 710

"Do you know I'm a foreigner?" said Ernest with a snicker.

Hector nodded. "Yes."

At the beginning, he didn't know that Florence was a foreigner, but on the way here, he sent someone to find out Florence's identity.

When he saw Ernest, he was surer of their identity.

Ernest, a foreigner who had only been here a few days, had already become the darling of the royal family and was popular in the country.

He also knew that Ernest had turned down the princess's proposal, so he was lucky that he was not rejected.

Ernest said deeply, "Do as the Romans do. I follow your rules here, but you have to obey ours, too."

"My Florence is pampered since she was a child and she is the apple of my eye. Even if she marries you, she won't wait on, take care of, or serve a man."

"If you want to marry her, you must abolish the supremacy of men over women in the family. You have to put her first, and let no one else have any dissatisfaction of her. Can you do it?"

Hector was stunned.

He had thought of many, many requests, but not these ones.

The idea that women were inferior of men was deeply rooted in Raflad and his mind.

And now he had to throw that concept away, to take care of Florence and put her first?

Such a thing had never happened or been heard of in Raflad.

Even Samantha, who had just followed them, was shocked to hear this.

She murmured, "It's impossible."

The idea was so ingrained that few people in the world have the gumption to defy it.

What was more, Hector was a duke. How could he agree to these requirements?

Florence looked up at Ernest with surprise and admiration.

She realized that this was Ernest's plan to deal with Duke Hector.

From the beginning, Ernest did not directly refuse Hector's proposal to Florence, but said that no one could be worthy her. It turned out that Ernest had set a trap for him.

She would like to see how Hector would deal with it.

In the place, if a woman refused a man's proposal, she would have a very bad end, but if the man gave up, it was another story.

Ernest was trying to force Hector to give up.

Samantha looked at Hector and then looked at Ernest and said, "Ernest, your requirements are demanding. Why don't you ask for something else?"

"If he can't do it, he can't marry Florence." Ernest sniffed coldly, with his eyes full of sarcasm.

Hector frowned tightly and gave Florence a complicated look.

She was indeed the most extraordinary woman he had ever met.

She was a foreigner and she received different cultures. That was why she was so different from the women here.

And that was why he would like her and appreciate her.

It was beyond ordinary people's mind to change the secular rules. Even Hector has never thought of it.

But now, for Florence's sake, he would be willing to do so.

Hector pursed his lips, looked straight at Ernest, and said word by word with firmness and sincerity, "All right. I will do it. Henceforth, in my family, there's no rule of men being superior of women. Florence will be as equal as I'm. She's my beloved wife."

The whole audience was in an uproar when they heard so.

They all looked at Hector with surprise.
