In the face of Ruola's reproach, this Houmen prince immediately dismounted, first bowed sincerely, and then said: "As for me, I don't excuse myself." I had planned to tease Miss before, and I won't tell you that I myself don't want to marry you. But just like you, whoever called us not ordinary people has an entire family involved behind us. People like us, if they can't contribute to the family, they have to make concessions or sacrifices for the family. ”

"Although I joined the Iron Lance Guard, in the south, who would dare to fight the idea of our Iron Spear Marquis, so I, a guy who barely climbed to a hundred people by relying on my connections, has not yet earned any military merits. If you don't contribute, you can only give in and come to Ark Harbor to meet your fiancée so that you can decide on the specific date and matters of marriage. I thought you were the kind of young lady with no brains, but now I'm wrong. ”

Orlando said: "In order to express my sincerity, I am willing to go to the mountain city, I heard that that old thing in Ryked had the idea of Ark Harbor not long ago. I'm the most protective person, so I'm going to go to the mountain city now to find that old thing, how about I apologize to you? ”

When Jorah heard this, he was astonished.

Without waiting for her to answer, Orlando smiled and turned over his horse and gestured, "The Iron Lancer comes with me." ”

Then he said to Jora, "The others will take care of the young lady." ”

Then he took the lead and rode away with twenty knights of the Iron Guard.

Jora shook her head, and there was a smile on her face, this is the real smile from the heart, and it is a joy to see Mace. The old butler whispered beside him, "This marquis, acting unexpectedly. Miss, what do you think. ”

"It's a little pleasing to the eye." Jora lightly brought it.

On this day, the son of the iron spear Hoy was one step away from the White Castle, but he passed the fort without entering, and left directly. Half a month later, he returned again. He was accompanied by one of Rykerd's clerks, who brought with him a heartfelt letter of apology from Earl Rykerd. In the letter, he denounced himself as an old fool, and only shortly after the death of the Count of Auban, did he attack the idea of the Ark Harbor. After scolding himself, he talked about compensation, and several blood wolf knights from the mountain city brought in a few large boxes, and when they opened them, they were full of yellow and white things. The letter said that these things were both compensation and a congratulatory gift for Jola and Orlando's wedding.

After reading it, Ruola couldn't help but curse the "old fox", which was even agreed by Orlando, and the son of the iron spear also scolded, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and they invisibly got a lot closer. After Orlando left, the butler Mace said beside him: "Miss, you don't know, I heard that after this Orlando master arrived in the mountain city, he scolded Rycd a bloody dog." Reckerd sent someone to take him into the city, but he just wouldn't enter. It wasn't until Rykerd himself laughed and greeted him that Master Orlan, who was in full posture, gave the count a step down. ”

"But when he arrived in the city, Master Orlan challenged several of Reckerd's captains again. The result, of course, was a big win. I don't say whether or not Rychd ordered the release of water, but Master Orlan was in the limelight, and finally threw down the sentence, "With your little ability, you dare to beat my fiancée." This time, I should take it as a warning, if there is a next time, you will wait for the iron spear battle flag to be erected on the head of your mountain city', hey, how majestic. ”

Mace glanced at Jora, who said angrily, "You didn't go to the mountain town with Orlando either, as if you saw it with your own eyes." Say, how much benefit did that big young master give you, so that Steward Mace also came to be a lobbyist. ”

The housekeeper smiled: "This is wrongful, I just feel my conscience and speak." ”

added: "Of course, Master Orlan was a little exaggerated, but he did it." Miss, don't you bother with him? ”

Ruola shook her head: "Are you a person who doesn't know the importance of me, if I wasn't so strong last time, then I would marry Houmen in the future, and I don't know how to oppress myself." Orlando just gave me a chance, and even if he didn't, I always had to find a chance to tell him that people out of Ark Harbor weren't so easy to bully. But then again, the way he apologized was also special. ”

"Butler, please organize a small reception banquet for me in the evening."

Mace left with a smile.

In the room, Orlando took a shower and washed off the dust. Ma En changed a set of clothes for his master, and couldn't help but say, "Young master, you really plan to marry that Ruola." ”

"Knot, why don't you tie it. She is good-looking, she is not stupid, and it is interesting to have such a person around. Orlando narrowed his eyes at Marne: "Your tone sounds like I don't want to get married, hey Marne, we know each other well, I'm very normal!" ”

Ma En's face flushed: "I'm just thinking, in order to apologize, young master, you went to the mountain city in person, is it too much to give your fiancée face." The lord doesn't often say that when dealing with people, you have to take care of the proportions. After that, be careful that the person will be pampered. ”

"Alright, Marne. I remember the old man's words quite clearly, you don't need to remind me, how to get along with this interesting young lady, I have my own measure. Orlando grinned, "Knocking on Rykerd is a warning to that old thing." It's also for me to earn more negotiation conditions for myself, Marne, we're not here to play this time. Although we have no intention of seizing Ark Harbor, the old man has heard that there are other people who are too influential here besides Jora. This is not good after all, at least, to make the Ark Harbor clean, the old man can rest assured. ”

"It seems that he agreed to Oban's deathbed request, so whatever he is, I'll just do it."

Marne let out an "oh" half-incomprehensibly.

Mace, the butler, arrives and informs Orlando that it's time to get ready for the feast. Orlando patted Marne's shoulder, blinked, and said, "Let's go, the young master will take you to join in the fun." If you see a woman you like and tell me, I'll figure it out for you. ”

Marne grinned.

The dinner was enjoyed by the guests and hosts.

The next afternoon, Orlando went to the Count's study, where he and Jola finalized the date of their marriage and other matters. Orlando is soli, and he speaks crisply and with a lot of grace, which makes Jora annoyed. This matter was imperative, and Jola did not make it difficult in the details, and according to the instructions of Oban before his death, he proposed a number of conditions for consolidating the territory of Ark Harbor, and Orlando readily agreed to them one by one.

The two quickly came to an agreement.

After finally deciding on the date, Orlando stretched and said, "When the winter snow melts, the Iron Spear Collar will have a pleasant climate, especially Swan Lake." In the spring, you will see flocks of swans, which is very spectacular. I'll show you there, and you'll love that place. In fact, I'm going to build a house there, and we can go there every spring and summer for a vacation. ”

He glanced at Jora, who seemed uninterested, but only smiled symbolically. Orlando shrugged his shoulders and said, "Actually, we also have some conditions on our side, I don't know if you can agree." ”

Jora said calmly, "Please speak." ”

Political marriage is, to put it bluntly, a transaction, and if there is a deal, there will be negotiation, which is a normal thing. If Ola had asked for those conditions, Orlando agreed without much consideration. Then next, the conditions put forward by Orlando, who represents the Marquis of Iron Spear, Jora is ready to refuse it.

Orlando seemed to be organizing the words, his fingers tapped on the table, and after a moment he said, "There is only one condition, my old man does not want the Ark Harbor to have anyone else who can manipulate it besides the Ridley family." Of course, we promise not to interfere with any of the operations of the Ark Harbor, but if we are to take care of the safety of the Ark Harbor, then some of these people must leave. ”

The Marquis of the Iron Spear guaranteed the safety of Ark Harbor for ten years, which was one of the conditions that Jora had just proposed. Orlando agreed, but now that the preconditions were proposed, she couldn't help frowning, but Jora still asked generously, "For example?" ”

"Baron Allen, oh no, it's a viscount now. Although I haven't seen this person, judging from the speed of his promotion, he is definitely not a simple character. There is such a person, or someone who does things for him, who remains in the Ark Harbor, and the old man of my house does not think that he can do what Count Oban asks. Orlando grinned and said, "So I need you to get him and the people involved out of Ark Harbor, so that it will be good for both you and me." ”

Jora narrowed her eyes, although Orlando stated that the Iron Spear Leader would not interfere in the affairs of Ark Harbor, but because of his relationship with Orlando, most of the Marquis regarded Ark Harbor as his backyard. And Allen is threatening enough, it is not surprising that Hoy will have such conditions. Jora sighed, "I think you should know that now that I am able to sit here, it is Sir Allen's support. Without him, I don't know if I would have survived to this day. But now you want me to keep them out, Mr. Orlando, don't you think it's too much? ”

In the face of this obviously reproachful words, Orlando was not angry, and said lightly: "Of course we know, but it is precisely because of this that we are not worried about this knight." If he can support you, it's hard to guarantee that he can't support others. Oh, don't be angry, I'm just talking about things. ”

Ruola said categorically: "No, if I do this, then who will dare to cooperate with Ark Port in the future." I hope that Lord Hoy will change his conditions, and as for this, I will never accept it. ”

Orlando frowned, his face a little ugly. After making so many concessions, Jora didn't even agree to such a condition, and Orlando was a little annoyed at the moment. At that moment, a voice came from outside the door: "Miss Jora, I think Mr. Orlando's proposal could not be better." ”

Orlando was surprised, and Jora had a mixed expression. I was stunned, but I also couldn't hide the joy, because it was Allen's voice!
