"Um?"

For a moment, An Nuo thought he had misheard and looked at Ren Nuo in confusion.

Laura, who was standing next to her, had a red face at this moment. She kept rubbing the hem of her skirt with her two little hands and secretly glanced at An Nuo with her head down.

"I'm sorry, I didn't get enough rest yesterday, so I might have been hallucinating just now. Lord Viscount, could you please say it again?"

An Nuo's eyelids twitched, and he picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

Viscount Renault recalled what the Third Prince had said to him before, took a deep breath, and said again: "You are not hallucinating. I want to marry my daughter to you!"

"No... Lord Viscount, what is going on?"

An Nuo stood up from his chair and looked at the father and daughter in front of him with a confused look on his face.

A viscount actually wants to marry his precious daughter to an ordinary adventurer!

If Renault is not crazy, then there must be something wrong.

Renault is definitely not out of his mind.

Then this matter is obviously a trap!

Seeing An Nuo's unhappy look, Viscount Renault glared at him and said sternly: "Why, you are just a commoner now, you are marrying above your station!"

"This is too sudden. What's the reason? And shouldn't the Viscount consider Miss Lola's wishes in this matter?

Miss Lola and I only met a few times and we didn't know each other very well.

No matter what the reason is, as a father, does the Viscount want his daughter to be with someone he doesn't like? "

After An Nuo finished speaking, he quickly looked at Laura next to him, signaling her with his eyes to say a few words to oppose this matter.

But what shocked An Nuo was that Laura looked up at An Nuo, her face full of shyness, and said softly: "I... I have no objection."

"My Lord Viscount, I want to know the reason."

“The reason is simple. I decided to let Laura become the lord of Valkham after a while!

Although Laura has a talent for administration, her talent for cultivation is not strong, so she is a capable spouse.

There are also young talents in Valkham, but none of them are as good as President Anno.

I hope you can assist Laura!

As for love...right now I just want to marry my daughter to you.

If Laura feels that you don't meet her standards in the next contact, just pretend I didn't say anything."

After hearing this, An Nuo thought to himself: They want me to marry into their family!

"My Lord Viscount, what if I don't agree?"

Viscount Renault seemed to have known that An Nuo would ask this question, and said calmly: "Don't forget that the Adventurer's Guild was originally established with the help of Laura.

After all, Laura is also the founder of the Adventurer's Guild.

Laura also deserves some credit for your current success.

Besides, after all, you are just a civilian now.

It is irrational to offend a noble lord.

If you agree to this, not only will your status be integrated into the circle of nobles, the Adventurer's Guild will also have broader development opportunities, and I can also give you some unexpected help.

I don't need you to give me an answer now, go back and think about it for a while.

After the Third Prince has resolved the Aie Mountains, I will find the right time to pass the throne to Laura.

If you two become a couple, you will need to appear as Laura's fiancé at the party."

have to!

After hearing what Viscount Renault said, Annuo had already decided in his heart that he was used as a shield.

But Viscount Renault didn't tell him, and Annuo didn't know where the arrow would come from.

After Viscount Renault finished speaking, he stood up and left the meeting room, leaving only Anno and Laura.

An Nuo stared at Laura for a while and asked curiously, "It's obvious that there's something else going on here. Don't you have any objection?"

After Laura heard this, she trembled, looked up at An Nuo, and said aggrievedly: "My father will never harm me, don't you want to?"

No, of course I know the Viscount won't harm you.

But there is a good chance that he is harming me!

An Nuo is now in a state of panic.

From Laura's posture, Annuo has discovered the key to the problem.

"Tell me the truth, was it your father who chose me, or was it you who chose me?"

Laura's already red face was now as red as a cooked crab.

Anno even felt steam coming out of her head.

"Why?"

There was no need for Laura to answer, Anno already knew the answer.

But he really didn't know why this girl, who had only met him a few times, chose him.

“I…I…”

Laura felt so embarrassed at this moment that she didn't say a word for a long time.

Because of Viscount Renault's identity, Laura had hardly any contact with other nobles since she was a child, and had always been under the strict protection of Viscount Renault.

Although I was already eighteen years old, all I knew about love was from novels about maids and knights and princesses.

Asking Laura to answer Annuo's question directly was really embarrassing for her as she was a novice in relationships.

"Well, tell me, who are Viscount Renault's enemies? What do he or they want to do?"

Hearing An Nuo's question, Laura's expression suddenly changed.

"You guessed it all. You're just like what father said. You're very smart!"

She looked at An Nuo, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, and then she confessed something.

For example, Viscount Renault was actually the lord of the East Territory ten years ago.

At that time Renault was still a count.

However, for some reasons, Viscount Renault offended other nobles, his eldest son was assassinated, and his wife also died unfortunately.

Renault was then sent to serve as the lord of the southern territory, which had been destroyed into ruins by the Demon King's army.

But what those people didn't expect was that Viscount Renault was not discouraged. Instead, he rebuilt Valkham and slowly restored the vitality of the southern border.

Some time ago, these people found out that Viscount Renault sent people to the capital to do something.

They were worried that Viscount Renault might be seeking revenge, so they wanted to strike first.

This news was brought to Renault by the third prince from the royal capital.

Of course, the Third Prince was not purely kind-hearted; he wanted Viscount Renault to stand on his side.

Viscount Renault's way of governing his territory is well-known in the kingdom.

The East Territory was originally under the governance of Renault, but it was the second most prosperous region in the kingdom besides the capital.

After listening to Laura's story, An Nuo had a general idea in his mind.

But Laura was not clear about Viscount Renault's enemies.

As for this marriage, according to Laura's answer, Viscount Renault was indeed trying to find a suitable spouse for Laura.

This person must not only be strong, capable, and have potential, but also be someone Laura likes.

There are only a few who meet the standards in the entire Valkham.

Originally, Renault was planning to go to the East Territory to look for such talents, but suddenly he learned that Annuo had reached level 11.

He founded the Adventurer's Guild at a young age and it took him less than a month to advance from level 5 to level 11. Although his strength is not that strong, he has great potential.

The most important thing is that Laura still likes it.

An Nuo: "Do you like me?"

Laura's face suddenly turned red again.

“No…I don’t hate it.

Actually... I often go to the Adventurer's Guild to post commissions, but you are rarely there.

But I learned a lot about you from your two receptionists!"

Looking at Lola who was like a little sister, An Nuo looked up and sighed.

"Viscount, Viscount, what are you doing?"

Annuo felt that it was time to put the matter of opening an adventurer's branch on the agenda.

By then, even if he had a falling out with the Viscount, he would not be without a way out.

It’s not that An Nuo hates Lola, but Lola is definitely not An Nuo’s type.

Moreover, this is not a benefit, it is a trap!

An Nuo now just wants to become stronger and doesn’t want to be cheated!
