Maybe I'll have to ask him for help in the future.
Reiner used rock magic to rub two cups of water with his bare hands, then used fire magic and water cube to add some hot water, and then handed them to Harold.
"Master Harold, it's cold, so drink more hot water. It's getting colder in Roseno lately, so you should put on more clothes. Junice would be very sad if you get sick."
Harold nodded vigorously: "Yes, I will keep warm."
Reiner's lips curled up slightly, and then he asked, "I just heard from Junice that Baron Dorne sent an envoy to look for you. But do you think this three-person envoy is really here to propose marriage?"
Harold took a sip of water tremblingly, then replied, "No... I understand that Donn holds a grudge, and this is humiliating us."
"Even so simple, you still plan to marry Yvonne to Dorne?"
Harold shook his head vigorously: "No more."
"Well, I've been talking to Ivana these past couple of days, and I hope you can give up on getting her involved in a political marriage. She's not cut out for this kind of work, where she has to deal with the powerful."
"I'm sorry, Lord Reiner... I understand what you mean, but there's nothing I can do about it. Our family has had a long-standing grudge against them, and due to my incompetence over the years, our family's political status in the kingdom has plummeted.
This is the only way I can think of so that Yule can inherit my position in the future."
Reiner shook his head and continued, "Lord Harold, you are an expert in economic management. I heard from Junice that after you inherited the lordship, the economy of Tridta has been booming, and it has become one of the most prosperous cities in Roseno.
But on the contrary, you are not very successful in politics. Do you know why?"
Harold lowered his head and remained silent.
Lailisi kicked him, and he slowly spoke: "My father once said that my weakness is weakness."
"That's right, your enemies are all shitting and pissing on you, yet you're still thinking of pushing your daughter into the fire pit in exchange for a few short years of peace.
A greedy wolf can never be fed. You should have used swift and effective means to make Freke and his family realize that they had messed with the wrong people.
Even if I can't kill them, I'll tear a piece of flesh off their legs."
Harold shook his head and said helplessly, "Master Reiner, you don't understand... My abilities are limited, and I have an entire family behind me. My every move will affect the survival of the family. I can't act rashly..."
“Ahem!”
Lailisi coughed twice and stared at him intently.
This silenced Harold.
Reiner's mouth curled up slightly: "I know, I can understand you. In the past, you had worries and didn't dare to gamble, but now you don't have to be afraid of Lord Freck. I have many ways to make him honest.
So don't let Ivana arrange any political marriages now. My hometown advocates free love. You can follow my instructions on how to proceed."
Harold blinked and asked cautiously, "Master Reiner, what do you mean..."
Reiner nodded, a somewhat sinister smile on his face. "Listen to me. Send a letter to Baron Dorne. Don't send any envoys. Ask him to marry into your family."
At this point, Reiner looked at Lelith beside him and asked her, "Lord Freck has a daughter, right? How old is she? Does she have a husband?"
"Yes Master, twenty-four, no men."
"That's right. By the way, let Yule propose marriage to her daughter. There's no need to send an envoy across the border. Just send a letter and it will be fine."
"Lord Reiner, this... this is too insulting. He will tear his face off with us. Do we really want to do this? I dare not..."
"Tsk... Sir Harold, have you forgotten what I said before?
We are about to break up. If Duo En does anything out of line, the first thing you need to do is tell me, and then I will take care of the rest..."
