When they arrived at the palace gate, Duke Ivan had been waiting there for a long time.
Ivan bowed to Ford and said, "Good afternoon, Lord Ford." Then he looked at Ryan.
"Good afternoon, Master Ryan. I haven't seen you for a while. You have become more mature."
Ivan, who was standing at the palace gate waiting for the two, knew why Ford and the others came to the palace. After greeting them, he led the way to Emperor Albert's palace.
He quickly took the two of them to Albert's palace.
When Albert saw the two men come in, he stood up from the throne and walked in front of them.
"Your Majesty." Ford and Ryan bowed slightly to Albert.
Looking at the two people's actions, Albert waved his hand.
"Ryan, I haven't seen you for almost half an hour. You've become more stable."
Albert came to Ryan and patted him on the shoulder, looking at him with satisfaction in his eyes.
Listening to Albert's praise, Ryan smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. Your Majesty, here is the alliance agreement for the Far East."
Ryan took out the Far East Alliance Agreement from the magic ring and handed it to Albert.
Seeing this, Albert's face became serious. He took the agreement from Ryan's hand and began to read it.
After reading the agreement, Albert smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
The alliance agreement basically obtained all the benefits the empire needed. Ryan did a good job this time.
"Yeah, that's good. Come on, it's noon now. Let's eat here before going back."
Albert put the agreement in his hand away, walked to Ford, put his arm around Ford's shoulders and walked into the palace.
"Ivan, go get Caroline."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
…
luncheon.
Albert sat on the throne and talked with Ford about what would happen in the Land of Mist in a few months.
Ryan sat with Caroline, both holding wine glasses, and Caroline told Ryan about what happened during the time he was away from the royal city.
The wine glasses in the two men's hands clinked lightly, making a crisp sound.
"During the time you were away from the royal city, Otto successfully pursued Janna with the help of the secret manual you gave him. Otto has been spending so much time with Janna that he's fallen behind in his cultivation."
Ryan nodded, fully understanding Otto.
When a boy first tastes something forbidden and experiences the delicious taste, he will definitely be addicted to it for a while.
Just as the two were chatting, the voice of Emperor Albert was heard.
"Ryan, your wedding to Caroline will take place in a month. Ford and I have already discussed it."
Hearing this, Ryan nodded, indicating that he understood.
Then he looked at Caroline and smiled mischievously, "Caroline, call me dear."
Caroline was not surprised by Ryan's occasional rogue behavior.
She rolled her eyes at Ryan, but still satisfied him, "Dear."
Listening to Caroline's gentle voice, Ryan raised his glass and clinked it with Caroline.
At this time, Caroline, who had taken a sip of red wine, thought of something and spoke to Ryan.
"Ryan, what about Anna..." Caroline herself knew Anna's feelings for Ryan.
"I know. After my marriage to you is over for a while, I will marry Anna as well."
