Chapter 393 A perfect match
"Brother Russell, congratulations on becoming the baron of the Grand Duchy." The twelve-year-old little princess Kunlaya toasted Russell with a glass of wine.
The buffet banquet has come to an end, and the guests have formed small groups of three or five to drink and chat.
Russell also came to Princess Anxia. After toasting Princess Anxia, it was the turn of little Princess Kunlaya to toast him.
"Thank you." Russell smiled and raised his glass.
The little princess Kunlaya, who has grown up a little, is still as delicate as a fairy, but her temperament is tougher than before, and she can vaguely feel the charm of a female knight.
Obviously, in the past year, little princess Kunlaya has been practicing hard.
After drinking a glass of wine, little princess Kunlaya asked Russell some questions, such as what the Dragon Domain Lord feels like, how the flying dragon knight balances with the Dragon Domain Lord, etc. Russell answered these questions as simply as possible.
For a while, the two of them talked very seriously.
"Look, this is a perfect couple." Madam Kunna looked at the two people chatting not far away, and then looked at Princess Anxia, and said with a meaningful feeling.
She is the wife of Viscount Major and the mother of the elected Prince Mel.
She has already started to make calculations in her heart. Now the great nobles behind Mel already have Count Merlin, Baron Roman, Baron Gvedas, and the newly promoted Baron Russell, which can be said to own half of the country.
But in the Shadow Flame Family, Mel's influence is always lacking.
First, Mel is a relative of the outside world, not a real member of the Shadow Flame Family; second, Grand Duke Kunstan died, and many people in the Shadow Flame Family believed that Count Merlin could not escape the blame, and even conspiracy theorists were sure that Merlin deliberately indulged.
So if you want to clear the obstacles for Mel's victory, you must get the approval of the Shadow Flame Family.
Obviously, Mel could not marry his cousin, Princess Kunlaya, which is a close relative marriage, so Russell is the best candidate.
Everyone knows that Russell and Mel are closer than brothers.
Then once Russell marries the little princess Kunlaya, it will be similar to Mel marrying the little princess Kunlaya. As the only child of this generation of the Shadow Flame Dragonblood Family, Kunlaya can be said to be the symbol of the Shadow Flame Family.
If the Shadow Flame Dragon had not vetoed it, the Shadow Flame Family would definitely support the future son of the little princess Kunlaya to be the Grand Duke.
Rather than competing for the selection of the prince.
Princess Anxia smiled slightly and did not refute Madam Kunna's feelings. In fact, she had such thoughts.
Rather than being dominated by the father of the dragon knight and letting Kunlaya marry into the Kingdom of the Blazing Torrent as a political sacrifice, she hoped that Kunlaya could stay in the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame, accompany her, and have a happy life.
And looking at the young people in the entire Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame, no one is more suitable than Russell.
He is of high birth. Although he is the second son of the family, he is at least the son of a great noble; he is extremely talented, a flying dragon knight, and a dragon domain lord, shocking the ancient and modern times; he has a good character. So far, Russell has not had any gossips and is gentle and elegant.
The most important thing is that the Shadow Flame Dragon also recognized Russell.
In this Dragon Sleeping Continent where dragons are gods, what is more valuable than the recognition of dragons!
But Princess Anxia did not refute. Baron Black Court's wife, Kunti Sunflower, smiled and said: "The little princess is now more charming than you, Princess Anxia. She will definitely marry into the Blazing Torrent Kingdom in the future. It is invaluable!"
"My Grand Duchy has its own young talents. Why should the little princess marry far away?" Lady Kunna squinted her eyes and responded.
Lady Kunti was not to be outdone: "After all, the nobles of the kingdom are better. The little princess's grandfather is a dragon knight!"
"The little princess's marriage is naturally decided by Princess Anxia."
"Our Grand Duchy has formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Blazing Torrents. Some major matters still need to be discussed with the king."
"Has the Fire Ant Swamp already betrayed the Volcanic Oasis?"
"Don't dare to say that, Lady Kunna. You and I both have the blood of the Shadow Flame Family. We are all for the future of the Grand Duchy."
The two ladies smiled when they spoke, but there were sparks between their words.
Soon, several other ladies joined in. They seemed to be chatting lively, but the temperature of the air around them was getting lower and lower.
In the end, Princess Anxia coughed lightly: "Marriage is difficult to determine. Anxia appreciates your kindness. Let's just let it go."
So everyone stopped worrying about the marriage of the little princess Kunlaya.
Instead, they talked about other topics, such as the latest new drama, interesting things in the castle, and the salon of the Never-Sleeping Castle.
...
After the banquet, Baron Roman and his wife did not stay in the Red Castle to play cards all night, but returned to their temporary residence in the outer castle.
"My sister-in-law seems to want to match Russell with the little princess Kunlaya." Lady Meryl said, "I saw Princess Anxia's expression, and it seems that she does not oppose my sister-in-law's proposal, but I don't know what Princess Anxia thinks."
"Match Russell and Kunlaya?" Baron Roman raised his eyebrows.
Then he said thoughtfully: "Speaking of the young heroes of the Grand Duchy, only Russell can match the little princess, but I don't support Russell marrying Kunlaya, and Russell is very opinionated and may not be willing to arrange a marriage."
"Why, you don't expect your son to marry the princess and ride a dragon now?" Lady Meryl asked curiously.
Before, Baron Roman often talked privately, hoping that Russell could marry the little princess, then ride a dragon, and carry forward the glory of the fluorescent mushroom family.
"It's a different time now." Baron Roman shook his head. "The Shadow Flame Dragon has been blackmailed by the Blazing Torrent Kingdom and now hates the blood of the Fiery Sun Royal Family. Half of the blood in the little princess is the blood of the Fiery Sun Royal Family."
"The little princess is the little princess, and the Fiery Sun Royal Family is the Fiery Sun Royal Family. Didn't you say that the Shadow... Dragon didn't want the little princess's child to inherit the throne of the Grand Duke in order to prevent being kidnapped by the Blazing Torrent Kingdom? Obviously, the dragon still has feelings for the Shadow Flame Dragon Blood Family."
"What if there are feelings? What if there are no feelings? Russell is in a good momentum. Even riding a dragon does not need to rely on marriage to achieve it."
"Do you really think Russell can ride a dragon?"
"Why not." Baron Roman smiled. "Our son can suddenly realize life and death and be promoted to the legendary Dragon Domain Lord, so why can't he ride a dragon? You also know the state of the Shadow... Dragon. It's half dead and there is no knight to save it..."
The meaning is self-evident.
Mrs. Meryl's heart skipped a beat: "Roman, is it really possible?"
"It's worth looking forward to, isn't it?" Baron Roman smiled, "You also saw that Russell's baron title is Thunder Flame. Don't you think Thunder Flame is a bit presumptuous? Shadow Flame, Thunder Flame, these are vaguely titles of the same level."
Mrs. Meryl was puzzled: "Is there such a thing?"
"You women may not think of it, but we men are willing to fight for our lives on the snowfield for a noble title, so how can we not think deeply about the meaning of the title. This title can be passed in the Senate, and nine out of ten of the elders in power have more or less this idea in their hearts."
After a pause, Baron Roman smiled complacently: "They, most likely want to sell it to Russell. What if it really works out?"
At that time.
Baron Thunder Flame, I'm afraid it should be Grand Duke Shadow Flame.
