Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 904: Conditions

Faced with Ruo La's reproach, the duke immediately dismounted. He bowed sincerely and said, "As for me, I will not excuse myself." Previously, I had the intention of teasing Miss. To tell you the truth, I myself am not willing to marry you. However, just like you, who told us that we are not commoners? Behind us, the entire clan is involved. If people like us are unable to contribute to the clan, we will have to make concessions or sacrifices for the clan. "

"Although I joined the Iron Spear Guard, but in the south, who dares to hit on our Iron Spear Marquis's idea, so I relying on the relationship to climb to a hundred people long fellow, now can't get any military service. If you have not made any contribution, you can only give in and come to Ark Harbor to meet your fianc é e, so that you can decide on the exact date and matters for your marriage. I thought you were also a brainless young lady, but now I was wrong. "

'"To show my sincerity, I'd like to go to Mountain City. I heard that old man Rackett had an idea about Ark Harbor not long ago. I'm the most defensive person. Now go to Mountain City and look for that old man's misfortune. How about apologizing to you?" Said Orlando sternly.

When Ruo La heard this, she was surprised.

Without waiting for her to answer, Orlando smiled and got on his horse, signaling, "The Iron Spear Guard, follow me."

Then he said to Jorah, "The others will trouble Miss to take care of them."

Then, he took the lead, bringing along twenty Iron Spear Guard knights on horseback.

Ruo La shook her head with a smile on her face. This was the real smile from the bottom of her heart, which made Mace happy. The old butler whispered to the side, "Young master Marquis, you've acted unexpectedly. Miss, what do you think?"

"It's pleasing to the eye." Jorah brought it over lightly.

On this day, Iron Spear Hoey's son walked a step away from White Castle, but he did not enter the castle and directly left. Half a month later, he returned from the journey. Along with him was a clerk under Rackett, who had brought a sincere letter of apology from Earl Rackett. The letter scolded himself for being old and foolish, and for having thought of Ark Harbor not long after Earl Orban's death. After cursing him, they talked about compensation. Several Blood Wolf Knights from Mountain City brought in a few large boxes, and when they opened them, they found all the yellow and white items. The letter stated that these items were both compensation and gifts for the wedding of Jorah and Orlando.

Ruo La couldn't help but curse "Old Fox" after reading it. This was very well received by Orlando, and the Son of Iron Spear also cursed. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They indirectly drew closer. After Orlando left, butler Mace said, "Miss, you don't know. I heard that Young Master Orlando scolded Rackett after arriving at Mountain City. Rackett sent someone to take him into the city, but he didn't go in. Only when Rackett greeted him with a smile did Young Master Orlando, who was in a good posture, give the count the stairs."

"But when we got to the city, Young Master Orlando connected to challenge some of Rackett's commanders. The result was, of course, a huge victory. Not to mention whether or not Rackett had instructed him to let the water go, but Young Master Orlando was in the limelight and finally said, 'You guys dare to hit on my fianc é e with your little ability. This time, I'll take it as a warning. Next time, you guys just wait for the Iron Spear Battle Flag to stand on top of your mountain city.' Heh, how impressive! '

'"You didn't go to Mountain City with Orlando. Why did you look like you saw it with your own eyes? Tell me, how much did that young master give you to get Steward Mace to be a lobbyist as well?" Mace glanced at Zora, who said unhappily, "You didn't go to Mountain City with Orlando either. Why did you look like you saw it with your own eyes?"

The housekeeper smiled and said, "This is wrongful. I'm just trying to feel my conscience."

"Of course, Young Master Orlando was a little pompous, but he did it with his heart. Miss, don't you mind with him?" He added.

Ruo La shook her head, "Do you think I don't know how important I am? Last time, if I wasn't so strong, I wouldn't know how to bully myself when I married into the Marquis Sect in the future." Orlando just gave me a chance. Even if he didn't do that, I still had to find an opportunity to tell him that the people who left Ark Harbor weren't that easy to bully. But then again, the way he apologized was quite special. "

"Butler, please host a small welcoming banquet for me tonight."

Mace smiled and left.

In the room, Orlando took a bath and washed away all the dust. Ma En changed his master's clothes and couldn't help but say, "Young Master, are you really going to marry that Ruola?"

"Knot, why not? She looks good and is not stupid. It is interesting to have such a person by her side." Orlando narrowed his eyes at Marne. "Why does that sound like you want me not to get married? Hey Marne, we're familiar. I'm very normal!"

Ma En blushed, "I was just thinking, in order to apologize, Young Master, you personally went to Mountain City, didn't you give your fianc é e too much face? Didn't Old Master often say that you should take good care of people's things, be careful. If you pass, be careful, that person will be pampered and arrogant."

"Alright, Marn. I remember the old man's words very clearly. You don't have to remind me. I know how to get along with this interesting young lady." Orlando smiled and said, "Beating Rackett is a warning to the old man." I've earned a lot of bargaining conditions for myself. Marn, we're not here to play this time. Although we have no intention of seizing the Ark Harbor, the old man has heard that there are other influential people besides Ruola here. "This is not good. At the very least, the old man can rest assured that the Ark Harbor will be clean."

"It seems that he agreed to Ou Ban's dying request. Who cares, I'll do it."

Marn said with a half-understood "oh".

The butler, Mace, arrived to inform Orlando that he was ready for the banquet. Orlando patted Marne on the shoulder and blinked, "Come, Young Master will take you to the fun. If you see a woman you like, tell me. I'll think of something for you."

Ma En grinned foolishly.

The guests at the banquet enjoyed themselves.

The next afternoon Orlando came to the Earl's study and settled on a date and other matters with Jorah. Orlando handled Soli's affairs, and his words were straightforward and graceful, which made Jorah annoyed. This matter was imperative, so Ruo La did not make things difficult in detail. According to Ou Ban's instructions, Orlando agreed to a number of conditions to consolidate the territory of Ark Harbor.

The two quickly reached an agreement.

After finalizing the date, Orlando stretched his back and said, "The winter snow will melt and the iron spear collar will have a pleasant climate, especially Swan Lake." Every spring, you'll see flocks of swans. It's spectacular. I'll show you. You'll love that place. Actually, I'm going to build a house there with sawn wood, and we can go there every spring and summer for our holidays. "

He glanced at Jorah, who smiled symbolically, seemingly uninterested. Orlando shrugged his shoulders and said seriously, "Actually, we have some conditions on our side. I wonder if you can agree."

Jorah said calmly, "Please speak."

Political marriage was a deal, so it was normal for a deal to be negotiated. If Roland had mentioned those conditions, Orlando would have agreed to them without even thinking about it. Then, Ruo La was already prepared to refuse Orlando's offer, which represented the Marquis of the Iron Spear.

Orlando seemed to be organizing the words. He tapped his finger on the table and said after a moment, "There is only one condition. My old man doesn't want the Ark Harbor to be controlled by anyone other than the Ridley family." Of course, we promise not to interfere with any operation of the Ark Harbour, but if we are to take responsibility for the safety of the Ark Harbour, then some of these people have to leave. "

The Iron Spear Marquis guaranteed the safety of the Ark Harbor for ten years, which was one of the conditions Jorah had just put forward. Orlando agreed, but now she frowned at the prerequisite, but Ruola still asked generously, "For example?"

"Baron Allen, oh no, he should be a viscount by now. Although I have never seen such a person before, judging from the speed of his advancement, he is definitely not a simple person. With such a person, or someone who works for him, staying in Ark Harbor, my old man does not think that he can fulfil Earl Orban's request." Orlando smiled and said, "So we need you to get him and the people involved out of Ark Harbor. It will be good for both of us."

Zora narrowed her eyes. Although Orlando said that the Iron Spear Leader would not interfere in the affairs of the Ark Harbor, because of his relationship with Orlando, most likely the Marquis regarded the Ark Harbor as his own backyard. Allen had shown enough threat, and it was not surprising that Hoey had such a condition. Jorah sighed. "I think you should know that I'm sitting here because of Sir Alan. I don't know if I would have lived to this day without him. But now you want me to shut them out, Mr. Orlando, don't you think it's a little too much?"

"Of course we know," Orlando said coolly, "but that's why we're worried about this Sir. Since he can support you, it's hard to guarantee that he can't support anyone else. Oh, don't get angry, I'm just talking about the facts."

"No, if I do that, who else will dare to cooperate with Ark Harbor in the future? I hope Lord Hoey can change the terms, and I will not accept that," Zora said firmly.

Orlando frowned, his expression a little ugly. After making so many concessions, Jorah actually refused to agree to such a condition, causing Orlando to feel a little annoyed. Just then, a voice came from outside the door. "Miss Jorah, I think Mr. Orlando's suggestion is the best."

Orlando was shocked, while Jorah had a complicated expression. He was both stunned and overjoyed, because that was Alan's voice!
