Chapter 487: Chapter 257: Frost Iron Guard Doesn’t Need Evidence to Make an Arrest! (3)

"Oh, oh, yes, my lord Baron."

Vivian nodded repeatedly.

However, just as Vivian reached the door, Gala’s figure appeared at the entrance.

Luo De slightly furrowed his brows, "What’s happened this time?"

"N-nothing, Saint Master."

Gala looked a bit dazed at the room full of people, then quickly regained composure, walked forward, and handed the cloth bag to Luo De,

"Saint Master, this was sent back by the patrol."

Gala lowered his voice and added, "It was delivered by the Night Language Association."

Luo De took the bag and opened it to reveal two envelopes.

The wax seals bore the emblem of the Red Griffin Clan.

One envelope was addressed:

"To my dearest daughter,

The rightful heir of the Red Griffin Family, Avril Red Griffin."

While the other envelope was blank.

Luo De recalled the earlier report from the Night Language Association that the old Count wanted to write to Avril.

Without any hesitation, Luo De turned to look at Avril,

"These are all for you."

Avril lifted her dress and walked quickly forward to take the two envelopes,

"That’s my father’s handwriting!"

Avril eagerly broke the wax seal on the addressed envelope and began to carefully examine it.

Luo De turned around and looked at Wolfhoof and Durant and the others,

"I’m gratified by your loyalty. Whether chosen or not, I will reward you, so don’t fight over it."

"Also, no matter who you are, living in Black Pine Ridge makes you my people, and I will treat everyone equally without discrimination."

Luo De looked at Wolfhoof and the others, "I know your intentions, but don’t speak such divisive words again, or I will punish you harshly."

"Yes, Saint Master!"

The tribesmen bowed their heads and responded in unison.

Luo De waved his hand,

"Now, go outside to draw lots first."

"Yes, my lord/saint master."

Everyone gradually left the lord’s hall, and the room quickly quieted down.

Luo De let out a sigh of relief.

At that moment, the sound of sobbing suddenly echoed from behind.

"Hmm?"

Luo De turned around immediately to see Avril with tears at the corners of her eyes and a clear line of tears on her cheeks.

Yet her face was filled with a joyful smile.

Luo De was full of surprise.

But before Luo De could react, Avril suddenly rushed forward, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him almost frantically.

At the same time, he felt a familiar softness behind him, realizing it was Vivian hugging him from behind.

"Wait a moment, hold on,"

Luo De pushed Avril away and pulled Vivian to the front,

"What’s going on?"

Avril sniffled, then burst into laughter,

"We got his approval."

Avril waved the letter in front of Luo De’s eyes.

Luo De instantly realized and snatched the letter to read it carefully.

The script was dignified, but the strokes appeared slightly weak.

The letter expressed the old Count of the Red Griffin’s longing and guilt toward Avril, followed by advice for her.

Finally, it conveyed recognition for Luo De—implying that anyone who could place a person in Griffin Castle couldn’t be a frivolous noble heir.

In the last step, it confirmed the marriage between Avril and Luo De.

Luo De immediately opened the other envelope to find an official marriage contract inside.

The parchment had a warm, milky-white glow, with slightly golden patterns along the edges, as if trimmed with fine gold leaves.

The heavy ink reflected a slight sheen under the sunlight, clearly written with a mixture of gold dust and ink.

Each letter was upright, exuding noble dignity and authority.

It clearly confirmed Avril as the legitimate daughter of the Earl of the Red Griffin, united with Lord Rod, and the marriage contract would take effect from today.

If the marriage is successful, Avril retains the Red Griffin family inheritance rights, and any offspring have the right to inherit lands and titles from both parents.

The two families will become allies and jointly defend their territories.

If one side is invaded, the other should assist with weapons, gold coins, and military forces.

Most importantly,

The final line bore the name of the old Count and the family’s seal.

The wings of the soaring Red Griffin spread wide, and the longsword crossed under the shield, with such intricate detail you could even see the feathers of the griffin.

"As long as you agree, I’ll be your fiancée."

Avril clung to Luo De’s arm, looking up with a sugary sweet smile on her face,

"Even if you disagree, I won’t leave."

"Then I guess I’ll reluctantly agree."

Luo De lowered his head and gave her a light kiss, then drew Vivian close to kiss her as well, spreading the attention equally.

Then, Luo De lifted his head, his gaze cold,

"Next, it’s time for settlement."

At that moment, Durant entered with a middle-aged retired soldier missing his left arm.

"My lord Baron, Torre drew the lot." Durant reported.

Torre beamed with a broad smile and bowed,

"Lucky me, my lord, I am at your service!"

"No need."

Luo De lightly shook his head.

He immediately displayed the marriage contract on the parchment in front of the astonished Durant.

"Is this... the official marriage contract?!"

Durant’s eyes widened, then he reacted quickly,

"Congratulations, my lord Baron!"

"Congratulations, my lady Baroness!"

Durant performed a full knight’s salute, and his smile was almost overflowing.

"Alright, Durant,"

Luo De waved his hand and smilingly instructed, "Although it’s no longer needed, I’ve witnessed everyone’s loyalty and dedication."

"Everyone here will receive thirty pounds of jerky, thirty pounds of grain, and three barrels of fruit wine."

The barrels mentioned by Luo De were wooden casks of approximately one liter, not brewing barrels.

"Additionally, notify the army to assemble."

Luo De’s gaze grew cold,

"It’s time for the reckoning."

...

...

In a single apartment in Frost Leaf Town.

Ke Ao Ge surveyed the surroundings, nodding appreciatively.

"The place is nice, cleaned quite well."

Ke Ao Ge smiled and talked to himself,

"It seems this Baron Rod is rather sensible, staring daggers at me yet arranging such a nice room."

"This mission should be over soon."

Ke Ao Ge stretched lazily and lay down on the plank bed,

"What reward should I ask from the baron when I return..."

"Bang!"

As Ke Ao Ge was daydreaming, the door suddenly burst open!

Four Frost Iron Guard in full body armor stormed into the room and pulled Ke Ao Ge up!

"What do you think you’re doing?!"

The Frost Iron Guard captain’s voice was icy,

"Ke Ao Ge Whitewood, you are suspected of stealing military secrets of Frost Leaf Town. We are ordered to arrest you!"

"I didn’t!"

Ke Ao Ge shook his head violently, "What proof do you have?!"

The Frost Iron Guard stepped forward, grabbed Ke Ao Ge by the neck,

"Frost Iron Guard don’t need proof to arrest someone!"

Then the Frost Iron Guard casually stuffed a piece of parchment into Ke Ao Ge’s chest,

"Take him away!"
