Mitchell trembled after feeling the sharp look in Eric's eyes. He realized that if he said a few more words, his year-end bonus of 50,000 gold coins would be wasted.

He covered his mouth with both hands and looked up at the door to divert his attention:

"But Master, we have been here for so long. Why is the door still not open?"

Sasha said self-righteously and sourly:

"It's said that the Demon Tower Master is a very stubborn old man. He may not agree to the marriage between an idle person without magic power and his little daughter..."

ding dong~

The access control suddenly disappeared.

The three of them stood there in a daze.

“Huh——?!” Both men were so frightened that their faces showed signs of collapse.

Eric rolled his eyes in his heart: These two people have never seen the world, it has nothing to do with me.

"Luckily, I was the only one allowed in while I wrote the application."

(The following pictures are somewhat pale and weak, like fast-forward pictures)

"But sir, where are we going?" (Sasha)

A map appeared out of nowhere and landed in Eric's hands.

"(Testing the door control failed) Only the young master is allowed in. How is the young master going to move in so many things..." (Mitchell)

A magic cart appeared next to Eric.

"Hey, this service is a bit impersonal..." (Sasha)

A magic elf appeared and offered Eric a cup of hot tea. Then he said to Eric in a voice like a silver bell:

"Welcome to the Magic Tower, guest from afar, please follow me this way~"

The two men were speechless.

Eric placed the gifts on the cart and then instructed his men:

"You guys go back first. I can finish them myself.

"Once I'm done, I'll use the communication stone to contact you to come pick me up."

The two men nodded like chickens:

"Okay, okay.

"I wish the young master a successful proposal!"

Then the guest actors quickly evacuated the scene.

...

Eric put his hands on the cart and walked into the magic tower without flinching, following the elf to ride the magic carriage:

"Huh, I'm finally in."

He came here for a purpose:

"In order to expand the appeal of Imperth, I have to marry into a southern noble family like my father did. (I feel a little happy inside) I happen to be in love with Ada (a southern woman who is also a viscount).

After all these years, I’ve finally reached Ada’s marriageable age~”

but...

Eric swallowed his saliva in front of the statue of the Demon Tower Master and saluted the statue. This was to create an "elegant" character:

The most difficult hurdle is the future father-in-law - although he is not a noble, even the royal family is afraid of the Lord of the Demon Tower, Mr. Romos Jones.

He walked on the way to the meeting room arranged by the Demon Tower Master, feeling helpless:

"Mrs. Nancy Jones, Ida's mother.

She is actually very easy to talk to. As long as I say it directly to her:

“There is a fake saint in the lord’s house. He wants to send Ada back directly. The lord thinks Ada is just a replica of the fake saint.

"But if Ada returns home with a marriage contract with the Impes family, that would be a different matter. Even if it's the Duke, they would definitely be eager to take Ada to Haines."

Even if there was no love between Eric and Ada, Mrs. Jones would agree to the marriage in order to protect Ada.

What's more...what about love?

Secretly happy.GIF

Eric certainly didn't think it was the lord who was having a hard time - it would be easy to deal with the lord, he could just say "I want to marry Ada, and this will be good for you" and that would be it.

The person who can raise Aida is the Lord of the Demon Tower...

Romos has been sitting firmly in the position of the Lord of the Magic Tower for many years. He not only has powerful magic power, but also has a strong judgment to see into people's hearts.

“His golden eyes seemed to be able to quickly detect the other person’s true feelings.

It was through this ability that he confirmed that the then thirteen-year-old Sheen wanted to become strong and escape the cage of his original family. So he accepted him as his last disciple.

Eric couldn't tell what explosive news the Demon Tower Master would see when he looked at him with those golden eyes.

...

The meeting was unusually calm.

The furnishings around were simple: two white chairs facing each other, and a black coffee table with green tea and dried fruits on it.

There was no dessert, because Ada had mentioned in front of Romos that "Eric doesn't like sweets." The Demon Tower Master took note of it.

Da da da.

What shocked Eric was that the Lord of the Demon Tower was not wearing a magician's robe, but his usual long windbreaker and black cloak.

"We just met for the first time and the Demon Tower Master has already shown his face?!"

If it weren't for some situations he had experienced, Eric would have wanted to jump out of his chair.

Romos just sat on the chair and stared at Eric with his golden eyes for a while.

He got straight to the point:

"You are a thoughtful person. You will definitely not listen to too many pleasantries. Let's get straight to the point."

Eric's head exploded - he didn't say anything...he just knew I was "careful"...

"The Demon Tower Master is indeed a veteran."

"Yes, Mr. Jones. I want to be engaged to your little daughter, Ida - I don't mean to get married right away, but to make an engagement. I will get married when the time is right...

"Or if the goal is achieved, canceling the engagement is fine."

Romos was stunned for a moment:

"Haha, have you made preparations for both situations?"

"Is that so? After all, I am from Imperth. If I want to expand my family's reputation to the south, marrying a southern noble lady is the most reasonable way."

Romos heard it.

Eric used this reason to convince the Duke of Impes:

The adopted son, who was only partially related to him by blood, voluntarily proposed a marriage with a southern noble to "expand the power of Imperth", and Eric really liked Ada.

The Duke, who has "successfully seized the throne", will certainly agree to this marriage in order to consolidate his position.

"What's more, the lady Eric chose happens to be Haines's star. If this marriage is successful, it will undoubtedly control Haines's 'artery'."

"Pfft~ How strange," Romos smiled, his tone softening a little.

"In terms of blood relationship, you and the Duke of Imperce are only uncle and nephew. But in love, you both took the path of 'free love under the guise of a political marriage'.

"Whenever Ida comes home during the holidays, she mentions you many times when she shares interesting stories from the academy."

Eric was a little confused:

"Is Ada doing this for something?"

"Hey, young man. I know you have been lacking love since you were a child. You are always on guard when facing strangers, and you tend to overthink things if you are not careful."

Although Romos was laughing, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Then, he crossed his arms over his chest and told the truth with half-opened eyes:

“Arming yourself with a side that seems difficult to mess with is actually a way of preventing someone with ulterior motives from bullying you.

“This is the first lesson you learned from your father when you were the bastard son of the former Duke of Imperth.

"am I right?"
