Throne of the North

Of course Ryan also knows that this is not a simple marriage relationship.

The most important thing is that since they cannot be too ugly, the direction to decide is the aristocratic territory behind them.

What concerns Ryan the most is the intersection of the three provinces where the Melendez family is located. There is a big river there. Melendez uses ships to exchange the wealth of the three provinces with each other and even transport them to the most prosperous west coast. .

Hearing Ryan's words, the countess nodded in approval. She also cared more about this family, otherwise she wouldn't have put Avril first.

After all, the lists sent over were sorted according to the degree of help to Baron Lane.

"The source of the Blazing River is deep in the mountains of the Blazing Snow Province, but when it flows through the Calais Province, it converges into a large river capable of driving ships. It happens to be the territory of the Melendez family."

"This is a river that can directly reach the west coast. Most of the Melendez family's wealth is due to this river."

"So, Ryan, have you decided?"

"Um."

Ryan nodded and then asked.

"Although I agree, will the Melendez family agree?"

The countess smiled. No matter whether she was the daughter of a grand duke or now as a countess, her status in the empire has never been low.

"Don't worry Ryan, I will help you talk to Melendez, and Mrs. Melendez has also asked me about your situation before, so there will be no problem in this matter."

"Besides, you still have a few days to leave. You can take advantage of this time to meet that Avril."

"Thank you, Mother."

The Countess, who is not her biological mother, is very concerned about Ryan's marriage. I don't know if there is any other reason. Anyway, with the decision of this marriage, after the Clayton family becomes the last elder, the Ryan and Earl Clayton families, even Really separated.

The next day, Lane received the call from the countess. Today, Earl Clayton was also present. He still had the unsmiling look, but nodded to Lane, a relatively satisfied heir.

"There are more than a dozen knights in the Melendez family serving in my legion. As a viscount family, they have been quite helpful to Clayton in the past."

Earl Clayton said, letting Ryan understand the meaning.

Today he is going to Melendez's mansion in the imperial capital. According to Earl Clayton, he is basically going to meet the viscount who came to the imperial capital because of the Lordship System and the Divine Grace Festival. There will be no unnecessary variables.

"Klostermann will send you there."

"Thank you father."

Ryan performed a noble etiquette and then left to find the amber dragon.

"Mr. Klosterman."

Ryan landed on the back of the giant dragon, and the dragon, which was about to enter the legend, spread its wings and soared into the sky in an instant.

Ryan was a little speechless. He didn't understand why Earl Clayton made him so high-profile. The imperial capital was very big, but it was nothing to the dragon. The place he could reach by spreading his wings had to soar into the clouds. , attracted the attention of the entire city, and then landed on the Melendez Family Mansion, which was not too far away from the Clayton Family Mansion.

This dragon is a bit naughty.

Ryan thought in his mind, looking at the swaggering amber dragon, this guy seemed to be afraid that others would not see his strong body.

The Melendez family's mansion couldn't accommodate such a big dragon, so the dragon simply crawled on the street, blocking everyone's path in an instant.

"You can stay in there longer."

The amber dragon said proudly, and in his peripheral vision, Ryan saw many civilians around who became bold after fear, holding the gold coins in their hands and trying to pay homage to the dragon.

"The Imperial Capital is different. Ordinary people can still have gold coins left in their hands."

Ryan was talking to himself, and led by the Melendez family servants who had been waiting for him, he went all the way to the upper part of the mansion, where Viscount Melendez and the Viscountess received him.

"Baron Ryan of the Tundra Territory, I have met Viscount Melendez."

Ryan performed aristocratic etiquette, and then nodded to the viscountess next to him:

"Viscountess."

"Let me just say that the blood of the Clayton family cannot be ugly."

Viscount Melendez smiled at Ryan and said to his wife at the same time.

"only……"

The Viscountess still seemed hesitant and wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything in front of Ryan.

Ryan could probably guess what she wanted to say.

Ryan is the lord of the North. Not to mention the chaos and coldness of the North Wind Province, Earl Clayton's credit was equalized by a tundra territory. Everyone was concerned about it. As a noble of the Calais Province, he was even more concerned. It’s not like the Melendez family has never known what the tundra territory looks like.

The marriage was for political and other reasons, but the Viscountess still couldn't help but worry about her daughter.

Thinking of this, Ryan laughed and said to the two future father-in-law and mother-in-law in front of him:

"The Tundra Territory has some specialties that may be sold to the west coast. This spring, the Viscount might as well arrange a team to go to the Tundra Territory."

As long as the people of the Melendez family go to the North, they will naturally know what the frozen land looks like. However, in the eyes of Viscount Melendez, this is a cooperation and transaction between Ryan's frozen land and his own viscount. To be precise, it is a request for some support from him to the frozen land.

He did not intend to refuse, after all, he had thought of it before Ryan came.

"Don't worry, Ryan, in two days, my team will go to the North with you."

Compared with the Viscountess, Viscount Melendez pays more attention to the nature of the marriage between the two families, especially at this time when the Empire and the Church seem to be going to war.

The wealth of their Melendez family still needs to rely on the reputation of the Clayton family.

After a short greeting, Ryan left the Viscount's mansion. After letting the dragon Crosst take his time to go back, Ryan went to the magic academy.

The atmosphere among the nobles has changed a lot because of the departure of the Church, so it is not a big deal for Ryan to meet his future fiancée.

Obviously, Avril also got the news from her family. When the gentle and tall girl walked side by side with Ryan in the magic academy, she seemed a little embarrassed and not good at speaking. However, as Ryan described the stories told by the people of Exner, the girl gradually relaxed.

"When I return to the North, I will arrange for someone to go to the Melendez family."

Ryan said this at last. Avril lowered her head and nodded slightly. She certainly understood that this meant that the marriage between the two families was confirmed, and she would have the identity of Baron Ryan's fiancée at that time.

This was a political marriage between two noble families, but even so, both sides still hoped that the marriage would be satisfactory.

At present, the situation seems to be good.
