Facing Jorah\'s censure, the young master of the Hou Clan immediately dismounted and bowed sincerely. Then, he said, "I won\'t excuse myself." I had planned to tease Miss before. To tell you the truth, I don\'t want to marry you myself. But just like you, who told us not to be commoners, and we have to involve the entire clan behind us? People like us have to make concessions or sacrifices for the clan if we can\'t contribute to the clan. "
\ '"Although I joined the Iron Spear Guards, in the south, who dares to have any ideas about our Iron Spear Marquis territory? Therefore, I relied on my relationship to barely climb to a hundred-man commander, and I still can\'t get any military merits. If you don\'t have any contribution, you can only give in and come to Ark Harbor to meet your fiancee so that you can decide on the exact date and matters of your marriage. I thought you were one of those young ladies with no brains, but now I\'m wrong. "
Orlando said seriously, "In order to express my sincerity, I\'m willing to go to Mountain City. I heard that old thing Rackett had an idea about Ark Harbor not long ago. I\'m the most protective person. I\'ll go to Mountain City to find that old thing now. How about I apologize to you? "
Jorah was surprised when she heard this.
Without waiting for her to reply, Orlando smiled and mounted his horse. He gestured, "Follow me, Iron Spear Guards."
Then he said to Jorah, "I\'ll have to trouble Miss to take care of the others."
Then, he took the lead and led the twenty Iron Spear Guard Knight away.
Jorah shook her head with a smile on her face. This was a smile that truly came from the bottom of her heart, which made Mace happy. The old butler whispered, "This Marquis\'s actions are unexpected. Miss, what do you think? "
"It\'s a bit pleasing to the eye." Jorah said indifferently.
On this day, Iron Spear Hoey\'s son was a step away from White Castle, but he did not enter the castle and left directly. Half a month later, he returned in a dusty manner. Along with him was a clerk under Rackett, who brought a sincere letter of apology from Earl Rackett. In the letter, he scolded himself for being so old that he had the idea of Ark Harbor shortly after Earl Oban\'s death. After scolding himself, they talked about compensation. A few Blood Wolf Knight from Mountain City carried a few large boxes in. When they opened them, they were all yellow and white objects. The letter said that these things were both compensation and a congratulatory gift for Jorah and Orlando's wedding.
After Ruo La finished reading, he couldn't help but curse "old fox". This remark was agreed with by Orlando, causing the Son of the Iron Spear to curse as well. At first, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and imperceptibly, they became much closer. After Orlando left, the butler, Mace, said, "Miss, you don't know. I heard that Young Master Orlando scolded Rackett when he arrived at Mountain City. Rackett sent someone to take him into the city, but he refused. It was not until Rackett came out to greet him with a smile that Young Master Orlando, who was full of gestures, gave the count a step down. "
"But when we arrived in the city, Young Master Orlando challenged a few of Rackett's Guild Leaders. The result was, of course, a resounding victory. Not to mention whether Rackett had instructed him to let go of the water, but Young Master Orlando was in the limelight. In the end, he said, 'With your little ability, you dare to have any ideas about my fiancee. This time, I'll treat it as a warning. If there's a next time, you'll have to wait for the Iron Spear Battle Flag to be erected on the city walls of your mountain city. 'Hey, how impressive. "
Mace glanced at Jorah, who said unhappily, "You didn't go to Mountain City with Orlando. Why do you seem to have seen it with your own eyes? Tell me, how much did that young master give you to get Butler Mace to act as a lobbyist? "
The butler smiled and said, "This is wronged. I'm just speaking from my conscience."
He added, "Of course, Young Master Orlando is a little exaggerated, but he has done it. Miss, don't you want to argue with him? "
Jorah shook her head. "Do you think I don't know the importance of it? If I hadn't been so strong last time, I wouldn't have known how to bully myself when I married into the Hou Clan in the future. Orlando just gave me a chance. Even if he didn't do that, I still had to find a chance to tell him that the people who came out of Ark Harbor weren't so easy to bully. But then again, the way he apologized was quite special. "
"Butler, I'll have to trouble you to organize a small welcoming banquet for me tonight."
Mace smiled and left.
In the room, Orlando took a bath and washed away the dust on his body. Marne helped his master change into a set of clothes and couldn't help but say, "Young Master, are you really going to marry that Jorah?"
"Of course, why not? She's not bad looking, and she's not stupid. It's only interesting to have such a person around. " Orlando narrowed his eyes at Marne. "Why do you sound like you want me to not get married? Hey, Marne, we're familiar with each other. My orientation is very normal!"
Marne's face turned red. "I was just thinking, in order to apologize, Young Master, you personally went to Mountain City. Isn't that giving your fiancee too much face? Didn't Master often say that you have to be careful when dealing with people and things? Be careful that that person will be arrogant. "
"Alright, Marne. The old man's words are quite clear. You don't have to remind me how to get along with this interesting young lady. I have my own sense of propriety. "Orlando smiled and said," Beating Rackett is a warning to that old thing. " I also earned more negotiating terms for myself. Marne, we're not here to play this time. Although we have no intention of seizing Ark Harbor, the old man has heard that there are other influential people here besides Jorah. This is not good. At the very least, the old man will only be at ease if Ark Harbor is clean. "
"It seems that he agreed to Ou Ban's dying request. Who cares, I'll just do it."
"Oh," Marne said, half-comprehending.
At this moment, the butler, Mace, arrived and informed Orlando that he could prepare for the banquet. Orlando patted Marne on the shoulder and blinked, "Let's go. Young Master will take you to join in the fun. If you see a woman you like, tell me and I'll think of something for you. "
Marne grinned foolishly.
The guests and hosts had a good time at the banquet.
The next afternoon, Orlando came to the Count's study to finalize the date and other matters of marriage with Jorah. Orlando was very efficient in his work. He spoke straightforwardly and was quite graceful, so Jorah could not dislike him. This matter was imperative, so Jorah did not make things difficult for him in the details. According to Ou Ban's instructions, he proposed a number of conditions to consolidate the territory of Ark Harbor, and Orlando readily agreed to them.
The two of them quickly reached a consensus.
After finally deciding on the date, Orlando stretched and said, "When the winter snow melts, the weather in the Iron Spear Territory is pleasant, especially Swan Lake." Every spring, you see flocks of swans. It's spectacular. I'll show you then. You'll love that place. In fact, I'm going to saw wood and build a house there. We can spend our vacation there every spring and summer. "
He glanced at Jorah, who didn't seem to be interested and only smiled symbolically. Orlando shrugged and said seriously, "Actually, we also have some conditions. I wonder if you can agree to them."
Jorah said calmly, "Please speak."
To put it bluntly, a political marriage was a transaction. If there was a transaction, there would naturally be negotiations. This was a very normal thing. Previously, when Ruo La put forward those conditions, Orlando almost agreed without thinking. Jorah was already prepared to refuse the conditions put forward by Orlando, who represented the Marquis of Iron Spear.
Orlando seemed to be organizing his words as he tapped the table with his fingers. A moment later, he said, "There is only one condition. My old man doesn't want anyone else in Ark Harbor who can control it other than the Ridley family. Of course, we promise not to interfere with any operation of Ark Harbor, but if we want to take responsibility for the safety of Ark Harbor, then some people must leave. "
The Marquis of Iron Spear's guarantee of the safety of Ark Harbor for ten years was one of the conditions that Jorah had just proposed. Orlando agreed, but now that she had put forward the precondition, she couldn't help but frown. However, Jorah still asked generously, "For example?"
"Baron Allen, oh no, it should be a viscount now. Although I've never seen this person before, judging from his speed of advancement, he's definitely not a simple person. With such a person, or someone who works for him, staying in Ark Harbor, my old man doesn't think he can do what Earl Oban asked. " Orlando smiled and said, "So I need you to get him and the people involved out of Ark Harbor. It will be good for both of us."
Jorah narrowed her eyes. Although Orlando had said that the Iron Spear Leader would not interfere in the affairs of Ark Harbor, because of his relationship with Orlando, most of the Marquis regarded Ark Harbor as his own back garden. And Allen had shown enough threat, so it was not surprising that Hoey would have such a condition. Jorah sighed, "I think you should know that I can sit here now because of Sir Allen's support. Without him, I don't know if I would have survived to this day. But now you want me to shut them out, Mr. Orlando, don't you think it's a little too much? "
Orlando was not angry in the face of this obvious reproach. He said indifferently, "Of course we know, but it is precisely because of this that we are worried about this Sir. Since he can support you, it's hard to guarantee that he can't support others. Oh, don't be angry. I'm just talking about the matter. "
Jorah said decisively, "No, if I do this, who will dare to cooperate with Ark Harbor in the future? I hope that Lord Hoey can change the conditions. As for this, I will never accept it. "
Orlando furrowed his brows, and his expression turned a little ugly. After making so many concessions, Jorah did not even agree to such a condition. Orlando was a little annoyed at the moment. At this moment, a voice came from outside the door, "Miss Jorah, I think Mr. Orlando's proposal is the best."
