Blackrock, Castle of Pexes Council Chamber.

"Please come in."

Ronan looked up, and as the door opened, Eve, who had been visiting in advance, walked in.

Looking at Eve who came in, her appearance was obviously well-groomed, and Ronan had a rough guess in his heart about her intentions.

It's different from the casualness when you first came to Black Rock City to participate in the banquet.

This time Eve wore a white layer of foundation on her face, accentuating her red lips and blush.

Her eyes are framed with black eyeliner and eyeshadow, and she wears a crimson silk tights that accentuate her full breasts. The lower body is a wide lace-trimmed gown with multiple layers of braces that make the dress bulge.

Her beauty is further enhanced by her luxurious outfits and graceful movements.

Although Ronan didn't like the makeup of women in this era, especially the heavy metal lead contained in their whitening makeup powder.

But from Eve's dress, he can see the importance of the other party's attitude.

"Good day, Lord Ronan."

With a smile on her face, Eve lifted her skirt with both hands and spread it to the sides, her knees slightly bent, and she bowed her head with a smile.

"You may be seated, Lady Eve."

After curtsying to the royals in front of her, she pulled out a chair in front of Ronan and sat ladyfully on it.

Taking the black tea from the handmaid who came over, Eve took a sip and put it down with a natural expression.

"Regarding this visit, in addition to once again apologizing for your rudeness at the previous banquet, on behalf of the Drake family, I hope to establish a deeper friendship with Lord Ronan."

"I don't care about the banquet, as for the friendship in your mouth, can you tell me more about it?"

Ronan looked into her eyes, her long, curled eyelashes striking the eye.

"As you are, don't you think Black Rock City and the Windlord are too remote and small for you?"

Eve met his gaze with a smile, "What's more, Black Rock City is still nominally the territory of the Pex, not yours. ”

After seeing Ronan's expression cold, she added unhurriedly:

"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to provoke you and Kasanna, but I must admit that your current rights in Blackstone City are entirely due to Kasanna's permission."

"Being part of the Ordoucian family is too humiliating for you, isn't it?"

"I came here of my own free will, so let's get to the point." Ronan said indifferently.

"As you wish." Eve began to tell the real reason for her coming, "As far as I know, you are currently only Kasanna's fiancé and have not received the blessing of the Church. ”

"There is no binding force in this relationship."

"If you wish, my father, Count Draco, will give you the most valuable flower city around Purple Springs City, so that you can become a local lord."

"The population of the cities there is more than 200,000, the number of troops is maintained at more than 8,000, the population of villages and towns in the territory is more than 1 million, and there are three large logging forests, two medium-sized iron mines, a small copper mine and a small silver mine in the territory."

"Compared with the remote and backward Black Rock City, which has no development prospects, the Flower City has an infinitely bright future, as long as you nod your head, it will be yours."

Listening to Eve's description, Ronan had to admit it.

Whether it is population, resources or geographical location, with the development of his current territory, there is no comparison with Flower City.

If he's really just an ordinary royal, that's a good choice.

Unfortunately not.

"And what about the conditions?"

"Give up Kasanna and marry me." Eve stared at him with burning eyes.

Or rather, staring at his dazzling amethyst eyes.

"The dowry is generous, but I'm sorry, I already have Kasanna." Ronan tactfully expressed his refusal.

Since the earl was able to send the Flower City out directly, it meant that it was basically all his people.

Ronan could not control Flower City in the same way that he mastered Black Rock City, and his situation would be completely exposed to Count Drake.

What's more, you have to have one more troublesome outsider by your side.

"Kasanna? What does this have to do with her? Eve looked at him incomprehensibly.

thought that after he put this condition, Ronan had no reason to refuse at all.

The powerful Flower City and her daughter, the Earl of Draco, mean that the other party will become the most powerful number two in the Northern Province!

Instead of Black Rock City, which is huddled in the corner like it is now, unknown to the public.

"If you really can't let go of Kasanna, as long as you let me give birth to my firstborn, I won't care about the rest."

Eve took a deep breath, "When the time comes, Kasanna may not be able to control Black Rock City alone, you can bring her back and raise her, or find other women, I don't care." ”

Hearing her words, Ronan was a little surprised.

Although the private life of the aristocracy in this era has always been open, it is the first time he has seen it if he has the courage to say it so bluntly, after all, everyone will cover it up for the sake of face.

"That's not the problem." It's a pity that Ronan is still unmoved, "Do you believe in love?" ”

Eve, who thought he wanted to continue to fight for benefits, was stunned, and her eyes were full of inexplicability.

Although she didn't know why, her father asked her to do her best to get the other party to join, and promised extremely generous terms.

But considering that she will marry each other in the future, Ronan's interests will also be her interests.

Therefore, Eve is not disgusted with the other party's bargaining, and even hopes that he will continue to open his mouth and ask for more.

But she never thought that there would be such a ghost thing as love in the other party's mouth.

You're sick, right, how can this make me increase the price?

"If you know about the marriage of my parents, Earl Grant and Lady Oronna, I'm sure you'll understand me."

Ronan smiled and explained to her, "Flower City is good, but it's the only place here that Kasanna. ”

"Thank you for my kindness, Count Draco will visit him myself when I have time, and please come back, Lady Eve."

Eve didn't even know when she left the castle.

She walked down the street in a trance, and when she came back to her senses, she realized that she had returned to the Drake family chamber of commerce.

"Why are you the only one who has come back, my brother-in-law royal?"

Rand, who was lying dead in the mansion, got up and looked at her strangely when he saw Eve.

"No, what are you doing when you come back? No matter how bad the castle is, it's better than this broken house, when can we go back to Purple Spring City, or go to Flower City, it's not bad. ”

"Shut up!" The flaming Eve picked up the pillow and slapped it on his face.

"Oh, what kind of love, I want to see how long you can endure in this place of Black Rock City! When you're tired of playing with Kasanna, it's not so easy to regret coming to me! ”

Eve sneered in the direction of the castle.
