Chapter 677 - 321: Northern Duke (Part 4)
"It’ll take just a few days to get used to it."
Dora laughed and said, "And the air feels cool and refreshing, very comfortable."
"Then you’re quite adaptable," Luo De praised with a smile.
"Hehe, didn’t you say that’s my strength?"
Dora held her cup, sat on the chair, and suddenly shifted the topic, asking, "Will you accept the designation from the Regent Prince?"
Dora’s gaze fell on Luo De’s face, and her eyes became serious.
Luo De did not answer immediately. He walked slowly forward and sat in the seat next to Dora,
"Did the Earl of the Tulip send you to test me?" Luo De asked calmly.
"No."
Dora shook her head slightly, "Father asked me to win you over, saying you’re very powerful now, with two dragons, you might be influencing the Empire’s situation."
Dora’s words were surprisingly straightforward.
"You’re still as honest as ever, just bluntly saying everything outright."
Luo De shook his head, his eyes filled with a helpless smile.
"Because once you’ve decided something, no one can stop you."
Dora paused, then continued, "Like when you accepted that bloody edict, I was holding onto your leg, not letting you go, but you still insisted on going."
"Besides, Grandpa says you’ll treat me better than Father does, and he told me to listen to you in everything."
"Your Grandpa is not wrong."
Luo De nodded slightly, "You don’t need to worry about this matter, Dora, I’ll handle it myself..."
"Has Father arranged a marriage for you?"
Luo De suddenly asked.
Dora was taken aback for a moment,
"There’s someone, Knight Harris’ youngest son,"
Dora replied, "But nothing has been decided yet."
Dora’s tone didn’t reveal any emotion.
A noble lady can’t control her own marriage, and an illegitimate daughter wouldn’t even dream of such things.
"Do you like him?"
"Never met."
Dora shook her head slightly, sneaking a glance at Luo De, "He’s said to be a chubby guy, not as handsome as you."
"...Don’t compare me with such things."
Luo De thought for a moment and directly said, "Since it’s not decided yet, don’t go back. Stay here with me."
Dora grew up by the side of the steward, well-versed in knowledge and not lacking in education, the basics of management speak for themselves.
Most importantly, Dora is straightforward and has an emotional foundation with Luo De, which makes her trustworthy.
Currently, Luo De lacks such people around him.
"I’ll arrange everything for you," Luo De said seriously.
"Mm-mm, I’ll listen to you."
Dora agreed without hesitation, a happy smile appearing on her face.
"This way I can take care of you again... Oh right, what about your fiancée?"
"I’ve heard she’s a very beautiful and gentle noble lady. Well, only someone with such status can match you."
"She’s at my Frost Town, busy with other matters."
Luo De said with a smile, "She’ll come over in a few days once things are stable."
"You’ve suffered quite a bit on your way, what would you like to eat? I’ll have the kitchen arrange it for you."
Luo De stood up, "Just yesterday, some seafood was sent from the east. You should try it."
"Seafood?!"
Dora looked at Luo De in surprise, pursing her lips, "Yes, yes!"
Luo De nodded slightly and turned to give Vivian a couple of instructions, who immediately went to notify the Guard.
"Oh, right, there’s one very important thing Father asked me to tell you!"
Dora suddenly remembered something and hurriedly looked at Luo De,
"No matter which side you choose, as long as our Tulip Clan stands together, we can gain the greatest benefits."
"...Wait,"
Luo De paused slightly, his brow furrowing as he asked, "The Earl of the Tulip isn’t standing together with the Duke of Flowers yet?"
