A large number of flags and colorful banners have been hung around the castle, displaying the coat of arms and status of Wushan Castle; the gardeners have already taken care of the flowers and plants, tapestries and murals, and the invited music and dance teams are also in place and are rehearsing.

There were also many nobles walking around on Lulans' side, but they didn't stay for long. Most of them just said hello, exchanged a few polite words, and then left.

Seeing Luo Ning coming alone, Lu Lansi sat on the soft chair wearing a magic wolf coat, "I was going to ask Moster to wait for you to come over, but I didn't expect you to come on your own initiative. It just so happens that I also have something to tell you."

Roning was a little surprised. He came here to briefly reveal that he wanted Sean to lead the army, but he didn't expect that Lulans also had something to talk to him about.

"Grandpa, you say."

"According to the time, Princess Blanche will arrive at Wushan Castle tomorrow morning. You will take your people to receive her then."

Well……

Luo Ning was stunned. He never expected this to happen.

Blanche is the youngest daughter of King Alduin V and His Majesty Bruno. Ronin recalled that she seemed to be eighteen years old this year? "I didn't expect that the royal family would send someone to attend your birthday."

"Why, do you look down on your grandfather?"

Lu Lansi smiled and said, "After all, I am also a top noble of the Alduin royal family. Is it okay for His Majesty to arrange for a princess to come and bless me?"

Of course, Roning did not doubt Lu Lans' status. It was just that in previous years, there seemed to be very few royal members coming to Lu Lans' birthday, so he had doubts.

What puzzled him even more was why Lu Lans designated him to receive them.

"The castle's reception seems to be hosted by Diane and Breton. It doesn't seem appropriate for a baron from Hillwood Town like me to receive the princess, right?"

"Don't worry, I've already talked to your father and Diane, they will cooperate with you."

Lu Lan Si smiled mysteriously, "Blanche is eighteen years old this year. At her age, she should have been married for two years. Unfortunately, her two potential marriage partners, Camelot and Oleg, both died of illness."

Luo Ning raised his eyebrows. Wow, two of her marriage partners died in a row. If this happened in ancient China, she would definitely be known as a husband-killer.

"Who are Carmelo and Oleg?"

Luo Ning was very curious about the origins of these two marriage candidates, but he had no information about them in his mind.

But I think that if he can marry a royal princess, his social status and background must be very high.

"They are the eldest and second-eldest grandsons of Grand Duke Varghese."

Sure enough...it has a very powerful background.

There are three duchies in the Kingdom of Alduin: the Duchy of Gistana, the Duchy of Ferensburg, and the Duchy of Vera which was only established thirty years ago.

Vargis is the master of the Principality of Kistana, the westernmost kingdom.

The only thing that Luo Ning didn't expect was that the two deceased marriage partners were actually family members and brothers.

Lu Lansi sighed, "The marriage failed, and the man died unexpectedly. Logically, Blanche could have married another nobleman smoothly. His Majesty was even ready to marry her to Grand Duke Vargis's third grandson, Ganuo. It's a pity that some rumors spread outside prevented this marriage from happening."

Luo Ning's mouth twitched involuntarily.

My goodness, His Majesty the King is at odds with Grand Duke Varghis, and he actually gave his daughter to his three grandsons one after another.

If this arranged marriage goes through, and then the man called "Gano" dies, won't Grand Duke Varghese hate the king to death?

"Do you want to know what the rumors outside are?" Lu Lans asked.

Luo Ning thought for a moment and said tentatively, "Could it be that the rumor is that Princess Blanche is unlucky in marriage?"

"Hahaha, that's not quite the exact meaning, but it's pretty much the same."

Rulans laughed and said, “Those rumors say that whoever marries Blanche will die.”

Sure enough, there is such a saying in the other world.

The main reason is that these two arranged marriages are too magical. Vargis has lost two grandsons, and he is probably unwilling to take risks with the third grandson.

If something goes wrong, won’t there be no descendants?

To be honest, under the system of monogamy, it is very rare for the Gistana family to have three grandsons.

However, Luo Ning didn't quite believe this kind of thing. He would rather believe that there was someone secretly who didn't want this marriage to go through smoothly.

Of course, there is another possibility that Carmelo and Oleg really died of accidental illness.

etc!

Luo Ning suddenly realized a very serious problem, and there was more uneasiness in his eyes when he looked at Lu Lans.

"Um... Grandpa, Princess Blanche came to Wushan to celebrate your birthday. Is she planning to marry me?"

It is really possible, otherwise why would Lu Lans tell him so much and specially arrange for him to receive him.

Lu Lans laughed, "Why, are you scared?"

Hearing the definite answer, Roning was completely stunned.

Although marriage alliances were a very common phenomenon among the nobility, he never expected that this would happen to him, and so suddenly, he was not prepared at all.

"This joke is not funny at all."

Luo Ning had a bitter expression on his face. "Princess Blanche has already had two marriages. It's not appropriate to point her to me again, right?"

"Don't worry about that. Princess Blanche has never even met Camelot or Oleg, let alone fallen in love with them."

Lu Lan Si said: "As for the phenomenon of 'unlucky husband' that you just mentioned, you don't have to worry about it. Before the marriage, both of them were not in good health, and their short life span has nothing to do with Blanche."

Obviously, Lu Lansi was serious.

Luo Ning frowned. Was he in an arranged marriage?

Lu Lansi noticed Luo Ning's expression and asked, "You don't seem to be willing?"

Luo Ning did not answer directly, but said: "This matter is too sudden, I am not prepared."

Rulans nodded.

"It was indeed a bit sudden. I only sent a message to His Majesty Bruno after you came to Wushan Castle last time. The time was very tight."

He changed the subject and said, "But this is necessary, both for the Wushan family and for your future."

Roning looked thoughtful.

In the past two months, Rulans will be teleported to the royal court. It is estimated that Bruno sent Blanche over without much thought.

Is the other party worried that his daughter won’t be able to get married?

This was Roning's first feeling as well, but after thinking about it carefully, the possibility of this situation happening should be small.

And Lu Lans also said that marrying Princess Blanche is necessary for the Wushan family and for Roning himself.

The other party was preparing for the future, a future in which Lu Lan Si might no longer exist.

"Although nobles can change their heirs, it's okay to change them once, but they will definitely be interfered with the second time."

Lu Lans said: "I can't do the same thing in just a few years. That would only result in his Majesty rejecting me, and the heir would not get a legitimate status."

Roning suddenly realized that what Rulans said had already indicated that after Wiggins' death, Breton might inherit the title of Marquis.

"Orson is very ambitious, and his son is even more ambitious."

Lu Lansi narrowed his eyes slightly, "I don't know if he will deal with you after I die. So I let you marry Princess Blanche for this reason."

Roning understood that this was to bring the royal family in. As the son-in-law of His Majesty the King, Roning's status would naturally be improved. Even if someone wanted to deal with him, they would have to find a reasonable reason and also have to consider the face of the royal family.

As for His Majesty Bruno, he can take this opportunity to enhance his control over Wushan Territory.

Otherwise, why would a princess marry a baron who had lost his inheritance rights? Was Ronin so handsome that he could overthrow everyone?

I'm afraid His Majesty King Bruno also has his plans.

As for Roning, if he puts aside personal feelings and considers everything from the perspective of interests, there are indeed considerable benefits for him to marry Blanche.

Moreover, if he wants to conquer this continent in the future, he will have another opportunity.

After all, the Kingdom of Alduin and the Kingdom of Tricia still claim to be descendants of the Orlant Empire and have the legal right to inherit the empire.

Then, do his descendants also have the legal right to inherit the kingdom? This marriage seemed to be beneficial to all three parties, and Ronin didn't seem to have any reason to refuse.

"Okay, I see."

Although Luo Ning was still resisting in his heart, he had not found a reasonable excuse to refuse for the time being, so he could only take it one step at a time.

"Will this be announced at the banquet the day after tomorrow?"

Lu Lans breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Roning would be as willful and capricious as before, but it seemed that the child's personality had changed greatly.

"That won't happen."

He smiled and said, "I just came here to let you guys get to know each other. The official announcement needs to be made by His Majesty the King."

Luo Ning also breathed a sigh of relief.
