Of course Ryan also knows that this is not a simple marriage relationship.
The most important thing is that since they cannot be too ugly, the direction to decide is the aristocratic territory behind them.
What worries Ryan the most is the intersection of the three provinces where Melendez Family is located. There is a big river there. Melendez Family uses ships to exchange the wealth of the three provinces with each other and even transport it to the most prosperous West Coast.
Hearing Ryan's words, the countess nodded in approval. She also cared more about this family, otherwise she wouldn't have put Avril first.
After all, the lists sent over are sorted according to the degree of help to Baron Ryan.
"The source of that Blazing River is deep in the mountains of Blazing Snow Province, but when it flows through Calais Province, it converges into a large river capable of driving ships, which happens to be the territory where Melendez Family is located."
"This is a river that can directly reach West Coast. Melendez Family's wealth is mostly due to this river."
"So, Ryan, have you decided?"
"Yeah."
Ryan nodded, and then asked.
"Although I agree, Melendez Family will they agree?"
The countess smiled. No matter whether she was the daughter of a grand duke or now as a countess, her status in the empire has never been low.
"Don't worry Ryan, I will help you talk to the Melendez Family, and Mrs. Melendez Family also asked me about your situation before, so there will be no problem in this matter."
"Besides, you still have a few days to leave. During this time, you can go meet that Avril."
"Thank you, Mother."
The Countess, who is not her biological mother, is very interested in Ryan's marriage. I don't know if there is any other reason. Anyway, after the decision of this marriage, after the Clayton Family becomes the last elder, Ryan and Count Clayton Family will be considered to be truly separated.
The next day, Ryan received the summons from the countess. Today Count Clayton was also present. He still had the same serious look, but nodded to Ryan, a relatively satisfied heir.
"Among the Melendez Family, there are more than a dozen knights serving in my legion. As a viscount family, their help to Clayton was quite good in the past."
Count Clayton said, making Ryan understand the meaning.
Today he is going to the Melendez Family's mansion in Imperial Capital. According to Count Clayton, he is basically going to meet the viscount who came to Imperial Capital because of Baronet System and Divine Grace Festival. There will be no unnecessary variables.
"Crosstman will send you there."
"Thank you, father."
Ryan performed a noble etiquette, and then left to find the other Amber Dragon.
"Mr. Crosstman."
Ryan landed on Dragons's back. Dragons, who was about to enter Legendary, spread its wings and soared into the sky in an instant.
Ryan is a little speechless. He doesn't understand why Count Clayton makes himself so high-profile. Imperial Capital is big, but for Dragons It was nothing. He could reach the place by spreading his wings, but he had to soar up into the clouds, attracting the attention of the whole city, and then landed on the Melendez Family mansion, which was not too far away from the Clayton Family mansion.
This dragon is a bit naughty.
Ryan thought in his mind, looking at the swaggering Amber Dragon, this guy seemed to be afraid that others would not see his strong body.
Melendez Family's mansion could not accommodate such a big Dragons, so Dragons simply crawled on the street, blocking everyone's path in an instant.
"You can stay in there longer."
Amber Dragon said proudly, and Ryan saw in the corner of his eye that there were many civilians around who became bold after fear, holding the Gold Coin in his hand and trying to pay tribute to Dragons.
"Imperial Capital is different. Ordinary people can still have Gold Coin left in their hands."
Ryan said to himself. Under the leadership of the Melendez Family servant who had been waiting for a long time, he went all the way to the upper part of the mansion, where Viscount Melendez and the Viscountess received him in the study.
"Frozen Earth Territory Baron Ryan, I have met Lord Viscount Melendez."
Ryan performed a noble etiquette, and then nodded to the viscountess next to her:
"Viscountess."
"Let me just say that Clayton Family's bloodline cannot be ugly."
Viscount Melendez smiled at Ryan and said to his wife at the same time.
"It's just..."
The Viscountess still seemed hesitant and wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything in front of Ryan.
Ryan can probably guess what she wants to say.
Ryan is the lord of Northlands. Not to mention the chaos and coldness of Northwind Province, the credit of Count Clayton was lost to Frozen Earth Territory settled the account, everyone is paying attention, and as a nobleman of Calais Province, he is even more concerned. It is not that he has not understood what Frozen Earth Territory and Melendez Family are like.
The marriage was for political and other reasons, but the Viscountess still couldn't help but worry about her daughter.
Thinking of this, Ryan laughed and said to the two future father-in-law and mother-in-law in front of him:
"Frozen Earth Territory has some specialties that may be sold to West Coast. Lord Viscount might as well arrange a team to go to Frozen Earth Territory this spring."
As long as people from the Melendez Family go to Northlands, they will naturally know what Frozen Earth Territory looks like, but in Viscount Melendez's view, this is Ryan The cooperation and transaction between 's Frozen Earth Territory and his own Viscount's Territory, to be precise, is to request some support from him for Frozen Earth Territory.
He didn't intend to refuse, after all, he had already thought of it before Ryan came.
"Don't worry Ryan. In two days, my team will go to Northlands with you."
Compared to the Viscountess, Viscount Melendez pays more attention to the nature of the marriage between the two families, especially at this time when the empire and the Church seem to be going to war.
Their Melendez Family wealth also depends on the Clayton Family's reputation.
Not long after the greetings, Ryan left the viscount's mansion, and after asking Dragons Croster to go back slowly, Ryan went to the Magic Academy.
The atmosphere among the nobles has changed a lot because of the Church's departure, so it is not a big deal for Ryan to meet his future fiancée.
Obviously, Avril also got the news from the family. When Magic Academy and Ryan were walking side by side, this gentle and tall girl seemed a little embarrassed and not good at words. However, as Ryan described the stories told by the people of Aixnier, the girl gradually relaxed.
"When I return to Northern Lands, I will arrange for someone to go to the Melendez Family."
Finally Ryan said this, Avril lowered her head and nodded slightly. Of course she also understood that this meant that the marriage between the two families was confirmed, and she would have the status of Baron Ryan's fiancée at that time.
This is a political marriage between two noble families, but even so, both parties still hope that the marriage will be satisfactory.
So far, the situation looks pretty good.
