"Is she God?" Vanessa shook Ivan's arm away, "I need her to recognize my title?" This is ridiculous. Besides, if you have enough fingers, you should count that I have promised to marry a few kings, and they-"

"There is no gold below the ground in their country." Ivan said calmly.

For a moment, Vanessa was speechless. Yes, right now, the richest country in Europs is probably the land of hills. The surface is barren and difficult to walk, but the underground is rich in mineral deposits, and the Linguo on the east and west sides are afraid of the fierce mountain dwarves, and the most powerful royal family on the continent at this time is the Hill family, with their recognition, it is equivalent to having an invisible solid backing.

"Does gold mean authority?" Vanessa forced her eyes at Ivan, "In my opinion, you, my father, have the most right to speak, don't you have the power to curse a qiē?" Why can't you win the throne for yourself with your eloquent mouth? ”

"I tried, but it never worked." Ivan raised his eyebrows gracefully, "Maybe it's a matter of blood dilution, maybe it's that there are different types of curses, and there is always a time delay in the curses I issue, otherwise there will be deviations, such as Solanda's escape, they couldn't escape the Frozen Shadow Abyss, just because I forced my magic to take effect immediately, and as a result, the magic opened an escape for Solanda." ”

"It's like a magician who can't conjure a rabbit in plain sight, only to meet the long ears that are long overdue after the end of the show." Vanessa couldn't help but laugh, "You must have been cold at first. ”

Ivan nodded, then shook his head, "Maybe I was going in the wrong direction in the first place. But not anymore, because I'm in the right place. He looked at Vanessa, "Although you are not my most beautiful daughter, I believe that marrying those mountain dwarves should be more than enough." ”

"Hey!" Brant, who had been listening silently, finally spoke up at this time, "Don't forget that your daughter is married to our country of Wine Valley!" ”

Vanessa's heart warmed, could it be that the prince remembered the past and finally remembered to care about himself? She threw herself on Brandt's cell door and banged, "Brandt, don't worry, I'll get you out, I won't let him hurt you a hair!" ”

"That might be." Ivan was still so calm, "The butcher is always the first to slaughter the one in the coop that quarrels. ”

"You don't have to come here to listen to his noise anymore," Vanessa turned and looked at her biological father resolutely, "I promise to marry the Hill family. For the next week, you will negotiate on my behalf with the mission of the Mountain Nation until the end of the engagement. ”

The Duke of Mouton's guard of honour stopped at the Moon Hall on the west side of the palace. Ivan obviously attached great importance to this marriage proposal guard from afar, because the envoys who came to propose would usually be welcomed to the foliage hall on the east side of the palace, taking the meaning of its luxuriant leaves, since the reception of guests in the moon hall in the inner city showed that the marriage was close to success, and Ivan was very clear about the marriage between the two countries.

In the semi-curved hall of the Moon Hall, all the walls were covered with the cross-to-axe flags of the Hill family, and the singers were plucking the strings at random across the long table, and one of them played the ancient harp, and the hall was filled with sweet and soft music. Attendants lined up to place plates of preserves on the table in front of the guests, and the feast was sumptuous with the finest wines and bloody half-cooked roast beef, stuffed duck, and buckets of fresh crab. The maids, dressed in fine woolen cloth and ornate velvet, were in front of the attendants to remove the table full of leftovers. Obviously, the main meal has passed happily, and then it is time for dessert.

"So," Brunm, envoy of the Land of the Hills and a close relative of the Queen? Hill stood up from his chair, a man with thick arms, bent legs, a pair of provocative ears and a bright red beard, who looked like a wine barrel in the basement from Vanessa's point of view. "We are finally destined to meet the light of Winterfell, our beautiful Second Princess, this marriage has been completed by me, let us raise a glass again - oh damn it, the wine of the Midsummer Country is so delicious, I really hope this marriage will last three years and five years - let's raise a glass again, for the glory of Neverwinter and Redstone!"

"For the glory of Neverwinter and Redstone!" Everyone raised their glasses.

Vanessa stepped down from her seat with a smile on her face, and went to Sir Brumme to refill his wine, "So, you're going back in a few days?" ”

"Yes, yes," the dwarf wiped a handful of wine foam from his beard as a sign of respect, but shook off the crimson droplets all over the table, "we haven't delayed at all since we received the letter from the city lord Ivan. Although there was a little wind and waves on the road, you know, the mountain dwarves are all forgers, and we repaired where it was broken, and it took a month to come to the country of midsummer. ”

Ivan had made this plan more than a month ago. Vanessa couldn't help but stare at her father with resentment. This dinner is not so much a welcome to Sir Brunmas as a tentative journey between the two parties: Neverwinter is temporarily represented by Ivan, an unknown man, and it is unknown whether he will be able to convince the princess to marry, and Vanessa's appearance at this time undoubtedly dispels the doubts of the Mountain Country; Ivan tried to prolong the stay of the Mountain Tomb Army in the Land of Midsummer as much as possible, and at the same time, he was also demonstrating to the other nations that he was allied with the Mountain Tribes, so that they would not dare to take advantage of the fierce battle of the New Moon.

It seems that today's date is already the limit of the patience of the mountain envoys. If Vanessa doesn't show up again, they will definitely tear up the marriage letter and go to another country, and the princess can't help but admire Ivan's good methods, which can maintain the mystery and nobility of the princess, and at the right time contain all the potential enemies who are ready to move.
