"Archduke Lawrence is a wise king!"

On the way to Fort Lothar, Elbert sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Alec had a proud expression, and Charlotte was equally excited. Even though this land has just been returned to Erosa, it can be seen that the post-war order is being rebuilt rapidly, the destroyed walls and buildings are in full swing to repair, and the caravans on the official roads are endless.

Compared to the backwaters of the southern cities, it is still in ruins, but it is thriving.

The group soon arrived at Fort Lothar, and Archduke Lawrence, who had learned the news, was waiting in front of the castle, and when he saw Elbert's figure, he immediately asked the military band to play a solemn music, and he treated Elbert exactly as he greeted the emperor, and even humbly led his horse to stand on the road and lead the salute to Elbert.

"Welcome, my esteemed king, Lawrence Clayderman expresses his loyalty and respect to you on behalf of Erosa!"

Lawrence touched his chest with his right hand and bowed slightly, this was not disrespectful to Elbert, but in the world of Steeu, this was the highest etiquette that an archduke could make.

Elbert hurriedly avoided Lawrence's salute and hurriedly said, "You don't need to be like this, I am a lost dog now, and I will ask the Grand Duke to take care of me in the future." ”

"Your Majesty is humble, I, Lawrence, will definitely expand the territory for Your Majesty and conquer the unsubordinate! Your Majesty, please!"

The two exchanged a few words of humility, and Lawrence turned his gaze to Charlotte.

In the process, Charlotte noticed that Lawrence had more silver hair than he had back then, but he was still in good spirits, imposing, and even more dignified than before.

"Father, you...... Great work!"

Seeing her biological father again, Charlotte actually had a complex emotion of ease and admiration in her heart. He was filled with emotion in his heart, and instead of flying away like he had at the beginning, he knelt down on one knee and saluted Lawrence.

Lawrence looked amazed, for the first time in years, he had been treated like this by Charlotte. He looked Charlotte up and down, the surprise in his eyes turned into relief and emotion, he took a step forward to hold Charlotte, pressed his cheek to look closely, and then laughed.

"Is this the magic eye? Hahaha! Could it be that these magic eyes have also changed your personality by the way?"

"I'm serious!" Charlotte laughed at his reaction, "Can you please be serious!"

"This is not what you say! Are you really my son?" Lawrence smiled and his eyebrows narrowed, "It looks like you've been through a lot over the years, anyway—welcome home!

"Well, I'm back!

Lawrence patted Charlotte on the shoulder vigorously and said to Claire through Charlotte, "This sentence is also for you, Claire!"

"Yes, my Grand Duke, may you prosper in your martial arts!" Claire saluted Lawrence with the etiquette of an audience with the feudal lord. You know, he's still a nobleman in Erosa!

Next, Lawrence led the group into Fort Lothar, where the servants were quickly dressing up the military fortress, trying to make it look more noble and elegant.

That night, Lawrence summoned his vassals to a banquet to welcome Emperor Elbert with enthusiasm.

- It seems that the person who sent the Assassins was not his father.

Charlotte pondered at the banquet, thinking about who else could mobilize a master assassin to assassinate Elbert, although his father Lawrence was the most suspicious, but from the current point of view, it did not seem like he gave orders.

However, his identity does not leave him with room to think during the banquet, and almost everyone will find an opportunity to toast him, or say a few words of greeting, or reminisce about the past.

Charlotte is a special person, not only the heir to Icewind Castle in the North, but also a direct descendant of the Clayderman family. Even putting these two aside, with Charlotte's strength and prestige now, the nobles present will not let go of the opportunity to befriend him.

Charlotte was annoyed by these nobles, and when she finally found an opportunity to get rid of them, a middle-aged red-haired man approached.

The man was majestic and dignified, wearing a fur and shoulders, and although his figure was not very strong, his eyebrows and eyes were full of calm wisdom. At first sight, it makes people feel good.

"Count, do you remember me?" the wine the man was holding was white and red, and it was actually the strongest wine in the north—fire in ice.

Charlotte didn't recognize him, and when she saw him, he was bitter and unspeakable.

He smiled and bowed to the comer, "Hello, Lord Count Ferrard." ”

This man was Cecilia's father, Charlotte's father-in-law, Bartlett Ferrard.

Bartlett was obviously very happy with Charlotte's courtesy, but he didn't dare to make it big, and hurriedly avoided Charlotte's salute, and at the same time laughed and said, "Earl, this can't be helped!"

Charlotte wanted to give herself a slap in the face, and now he really didn't know how to answer. That's too much of an informative answer. That's too much to give this former father-in-law face.

So, he could only pretend to be stupid and smile embarrassedly.

"The Earl is twenty-five, isn't he? I remember that your birthday is December 18th, am I not mistaken?" said Bartlett, handing the glass of wine to Charlotte without saying a word, but said in a questioning tone, "Taste?"

"You've got a good memory!" Charlotte was forced to helplessly, he took the fire in the ice, and after only one taste, he felt his tongue tingle and his brain swelled.

"Haha! this is the boy from the North!, come, do!" said Count Ferrard, and drank his glass of wine.

This man was determined to get Charlotte drunk.

I really don't know where this seemingly suave Count Ferrard got such a large amount of wine, after three glasses of wine, in addition to his face slightly red, he still speaks fluently as if nothing is right. Charlotte, on the other hand, had to hold the table with one hand to barely sit on the floor.

He used to drink only low alcohol!

"No, no, hiccup, Count. Charlotte waved her hand and said with a red face, "I—I can't drink anymore." I'm a Dharma Master, no, I can't drink spirits, it will, it will affect my thinking!"

"I see!" Count Ferrard patted Charlotte on the shoulder rather embarrassedly, "I really didn't know there was such a rule, since there is such a thing, you should have told me earlier!"

"That, that's not possible!" Charlotte, who was too drunk, still had so many scruples, waved her hand and said, "Don't, I can refuse others! Even if my son wants me to drink, I, I can also not give him face! But, but you can't!"

The Earl of Ferrard was waiting for him, and he put his arm around Charlotte by the shoulder, and said to the nobles who looked around him with concern, "Oh! It's all my fault, the Count is drunk!

"But you deserve it!" said someone at the right time, "everyone knows that the Earl is unmarried, and Miss Cecilia is unmarried, they have been married since childhood, and they are even more talented and beautiful, and now is the time to renew the frontier!"

Someone else said sourly, "My daughter is not married......"

The Earl of Fellard glared at the man, and immediately laughed like a fox, and he put Charlotte in his arms and giggled happily, burping like an idiot.

But at this time, a little nobleman's words made Charlotte feel excited.

"If the Earl and Miss Cecilia are married, then the Grand Duke will be really happy! Maybe the three siblings will get married on the same day, and it will be a great joy for the whole country to celebrate!"

- Get married!?Three brothers and sisters!?Three joys?!

When Charlotte's confused brain finally figured out what this meant, he was half awakened from his drink.

He couldn't speak with a big tongue, and hurriedly asked, "You, what did you just say?"

The man was startled, and was about to answer, when Lawrence clapped his hands during the banquet.

The room fell silent, and the man nodded apologetically to Charlotte, motioning to listen quietly to the Grand Duke.

"As I said in private some time ago, I have decided to marry Fervien Lixu to His Majesty Elbert, and the two of them will soon be married!"
