Chapter 604: Lola gets engaged
The pseudo-dragon was promoted, and the whole world celebrated.
The Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame was really lively for several days. Apart from the excitement, the cabinet's tasks were still heavy, and the pace of industrialization never stopped.
It was not that the cabinet ministers were so diligent, but Russell was so energetic. He urged this to finish quickly and that to speed up the construction all day long, and did not allow the cabinet ministers to take a breath. He rewarded them generously for good work and scolded them for bad work.
Russell was like a coachman driving a carriage. If the horse ran slowly, he would whip it without any scruples.
This was the confidence of the Grand Duke with real power, and no one could bargain with him.
"Your Highness, Baron Kunbiff is here." The attendant came to report.
"Please let him in." Russell narrowed his eyes. Baron Swan made an appointment to meet Russell through thunder two days ago.
Soon, Baron Kunbiff was led into the side hall by the attendant.
After seeing Russell, he immediately knelt on one knee and performed the knight's salute: "Old minister Kunbif greets His Highness the Grand Duke."
"Baron Swan, please stand up." Russell raised his hand, "You were ill and went home to recuperate a while ago. Are you well now?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I have recovered." Baron Kunbif's attitude became more pious than before, "I came to see Your Highness today, hoping to share your worries and do something within my ability."
Then.
Baron Kunbif straightforwardly stated his plan, leaving the title to his eldest grandson, and joining the Flying Dragon Group, waiting for Baron Roman's command, and cooperating with the Flying Dragon Group to patrol and fight across the border to make full use of his remaining energy.
This surprised Russell a little, but since the other party surrendered, although there was some dirty tricks before, they didn't tear each other apart after all, so he simply responded: "Since Baron Swan has this intention, I naturally welcome you to join the Flying Dragon Group."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Baron Kunbif pounded his chest heavily.
Then he shamelessly chatted with Russell in the side hall for a while, trying his best to express his determination to surrender.
So far, the monarch and his ministers were happy, and finally Russell smiled and sent Baron Kunbif away.
"This old thief surrendered very quickly, worthy of being a noble." Russell shook his head. He was not very surprised by Baron Kunbif's choice. After punishing the Shuiliu family as a warning to the monkey, the choice of the Sunflower family was also a matter of course.
Who dares to go against a future dragon knight-even if Russell failed to contract the dragon, the identity of the Phantom Dragon Knight is enough to suppress everything.
Shake your head.
Russell asked the attendant: "Has Dyson arrived?"
"He has arrived and is waiting outside the side hall."
"Well, please invite him in."
Golden Baron Dyson Golden Top Mushroom was invited to the Red Castle by Russell. After meeting and greeting, Russell said directly: "My sister Lola is a little bored staying in the Red Castle, so I plan to ask you to accompany her to Windfury City for a walk."
Instantly, Dyson's eyes quickly lit up: "Yes, Your Highness, I will definitely protect the safety of Princess Lola!"
"Go." Russell waved his hand.
Dyson bowed and left.
When the other party left, thinking back to the other party's shining eyes, Russell didn't know how to feel. However, the single and unmarried Baron Dyson is indeed the best marriage partner for his sister Lola, and their identities are the most suitable.
In fact, Russell does not need to use his sister to arrange a marriage.
It's just that Lola was born in a noble family and was mentally prepared for marriage since childhood. She never thought about pursuing free love.
Like her sister Rowling, she was fully prepared to become the mistress of another territory.
This was also the fate of most noble ladies.
There were very few cases like Princess Anxia who pursued free love and eloped with the palace guard knight.
…
A week later.
The good news came that Lola and Dyson recognized each other while traveling together. On the way back to the Red Castle, Dyson successfully proposed to Lola.
So soon.
The Golden Mushroom Family and the Fluorescent Mushroom Family began to discuss marriage matters and finally determined the engagement date. Dyson's elders had passed away, and he only had one sister, Dawen, so Dawen came to the Red Castle to discuss the engagement with Lady Meryl.
"Your mother will prepare for your marriage. As a brother, in addition to wishing you happiness, I will give you some elves as gifts."
Russell directly selected two elves from the Elf Paradise and added them to Lola's dowry.
"Thank you, brother!" Lola was delighted. "This gift is too precious... But I won't be polite to you."
In the past, when Lady Meryl married into the fluorescent mushroom family, her dowry was just a little elf.
"Don't be polite to me. If the Golden Fields were not too small, I would have given you a wyvern as a dowry." Russell said, "As for the great elf, brother still needs it, so I won't give it to you."
It's not that Russell is stingy. He wants to realize the industrialization of the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy. First of all, he must ensure sufficient agricultural output, and elves are the foundation of agriculture.
It is also the foundation for cultivating knights.
Next, the country will face a large number of refugees migrating, so every great elf is irreplaceable. And there is no tradition of sending great elves when the Grand Duke marries his daughter. For the Red Castle, great elves are more important than wyverns.
No matter where the wyvern is sent, it still needs to obey orders once there is a war.
"I am already very satisfied, brother." Lola smiled, "When I get married, I will be much more glorious than my sister!"
When Rowling married into the Tian Zicao family, there was no elf in the dowry.
"Now and then, when Rowling got married, she was just the daughter of a baron, but now you are the sister of a grand duke." Russell ruffled Laura's hair, "In a blink of an eye, our Laura will get married and start a family."
"It's just an engagement."
"After the engagement comes the marriage, not far away."
"But I want you to find the Grand Duchess as soon as possible, brother." Laura said, "Brother has been to so many countries, but haven't you met a lady that makes your heart beat?"
"You don't need to worry about this little girl, just prepare for your wedding." Russell smiled and left.
Just left Laura's side.
With a thought in his mind, he went to a palace specially transformed for the nightmare beast Sembula, which was located behind the side hall where he worked daily.
"Sembula, you're back."
"Yes, Russell, I have arrived at the Shadow Flame Embassy in the Golden Palace." The tall Sembula, whose shoulders are now taller than Russell, is a super giant horse.
When riding, you will have an abrupt feeling like a small horse pulling a large cart.
Fortunately, Russell does not need to ride it. He only needs Sembula to transform into the Mark of the Thunderbolt Lord to activate Youmu's teleportation skill.
"Come on, let's go to the Golden Palace for a walk." Russell said happily.
Sembula immediately turned into a purple single-fold lightning and was imprinted on Russell's forehead. Before that, the golden double-fold lightning of the sacred unicorn Paulie had been imprinted on Russell's forehead - Paulie liked to use Russell's Perspective to observe the world.
One purple, one gold.
Two different lightning bolts are distributed symmetrically to each other, forming a lightning cross. Unfortunately, the length of the purple single-fold lightning bolt is shorter than the golden double-fold lightning bolt.
Not symmetrical enough.
If one day Sembula can be promoted to the Phantom Dragon, this fusion mark will be even cooler.
With a thought in his mind, Russell quickly escaped into the dark dreamland, and then the scene in front of him changed, and the person had appeared in the Shadow Flame Embassy in the Golden Palace.
Escape from the dark dreamland.
Russell stepped out: "Go and have a cup of tea with King Ares!"
