Count Lars was a middle-aged man with thick, medium-length silver hair.
He had a refined appearance.
He looked just like the noble Mage Yulian had seen in Western fantasy Magic world works before.
But at the same time, he also carried the authority that a noble should possess.
Not angry but naturally imposing, this was the kind of person Yulian felt he was describing.
He was very similar to Count Dragufil whom Yulian had met in the Holy City before.
Count Lars just sat there quietly, maintaining a smile.
But no one could underestimate him.
They would even feel a sense of hidden respect for this person in their hearts.
This was probably a person's aura.
Yulian sighed slightly.
It was during this sigh of emotion.
The short few steps had already been completed.
"Please, have a seat."
Countess Lars was a beautiful lady.
She looked very young.
Yulian guessed it was probably due to good maintenance.
Even though she already had three sons and one daughter, she still looked like a young girl.
However, her figure was full.
Making it obvious at a glance that she was a beautiful young woman, not a girl.
"Father, Mother."
Lawine had already let go of Yulian's hand at the entrance of the hall.
At this moment, she was holding her long skirt and performing a noble's etiquette elegantly.
"Hello, Count, hello, Countess."
Yulian's lips curved into a light smile, and he bowed slightly.
Greeting the two "elders."
After a round of greetings, Yulian and Lawine finally sat down.
"I heard you are the eldest son of a noble family from the Central Kingdoms, from the Holy City?"
Count Lars said with a smile.
Looking at Yulian with a hint of appreciation.
This handsome man before him.
Not only is he a high-level adventurer, but he is also a First Class Mage.
Even compared to the young talents from the other two major families in the City of Magic, Äußerst.
He is even better!
Could it be the legendary: the only drawback is being too perfect?
Yulian's lips curved slightly.
Count Lars's appreciation was not hidden.
He naturally noticed it.
Even Countess Lars's gaze towards him and Lawine was one of identical admiration.
"Yes, Count."
"My father, Baron Corist, can be considered one of the top nobles even in the Holy City."
Yulian showed no humility.
After all, his purpose for coming here was to appear sufficiently outstanding.
As for who Baron Corist is?
The one who was in jail before, that's him.
"Hmm, young and promising, young and promising."
Count Lars stroked his silver-white beard.
The approval in his eyes grew even stronger.
Who is Baron Corist?
He didn't know.
But he knew the Holy City!
The Holy City is the second largest city in the Central Kingdoms' most powerful Marquisate of Paris, second only to the Wangdu!
It even has titles like "Second Heart" and "Pilgrim's Holy Land"!
To be ranked there!
That proves Yulian's family background is definitely not weak!
And isn't family background the second hard power for young people traveling outside, besides personal ability?
"So, Father, Mother..." Lawine, who had been sitting obediently and quietly beside Yulian, saw this and tentatively asked.
"You agree to our marriage?"
Holy crap!
Yulian looked at Lawine with slight surprise.
Jumping straight to the point?!
Didn't she say the family conflict was irreconcilable, and her parents were incredibly stubborn!
Not going to build up the tension a bit more?
"You child..." Count Lars furrowed his brow slightly.
But he still nodded gently.
"Naturally, we agree."
"After all, this is your right to pursue your own happiness."
And he's such an excellent young man.
The latter sentence, Count Lars naturally said quietly in his heart.
"Mother!"
Lawine stared at the beautiful lady expectantly.
She held Yulian's hand tightly.
Yulian couldn't help but feel the pressure.
"Since the Count agrees, how could I refuse?"
Countess Lars covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
Her beautiful peach blossom eyes gazed at Lawine.
Her eyes sparkled.
Her affection was impossible to hide.
Something's not right!
Yulian was stunned.
This is not quite the same as what Lawine said!
Didn't she say it was so difficult, so difficult?
That he could just do whatever he wanted?
How does it feel like he was tricked?
Yulian stared at Lawine, blinking his eyes.
Lawine also stared at Yulian.
A sweet smile couldn't help but bloom on her lips.
She was free!
As long as she had these three years, she would definitely become a First Class Mage!
By then, she would be able to control her own destiny!
"Cough cough..." Perhaps feeling that agreeing too easily was strange.
Count Lars coughed lightly.
His expression became slightly serious.
"However..."
"However?"
Yulian murmured with a slight expectation.
I knew it wouldn't be that easy!
"Well, however, you must marry Lawine as soon as possible."
Count Lars said helplessly.
"Actually, I'm sure Lawine has already complained to you..."
"Saying we've been rushing her marriage and asking her to see if there are any noble sons she likes."
"But that's not what we want."
Count Lars fell silent after saying this.
Countess Lars continued.
"While we do make decisions on the major and minor affairs of the family..."
"A noble family naturally has an Elder Council."
"As the only daughter of the patriarch's family..." "Lawine's status in the entire Lars family is extraordinary."
"It's even possible that whoever she marries could become the next patriarch."
Yulian understood.
A melodramatic plot of forced marriage.
It's just that everything was out of necessity.
But Lawine...
Wasn't his female lead!
"Father, Mother..."
Lawine lowered her head.
She was a little silent.
Perhaps she felt ashamed for deceiving them.
"Count, Countess..."
"Please rest assured."
Yulian held Lawine's hand and raised a sunny smile.
"I will definitely be good to Lawine."
Yulian...
Looking at Yulian holding her hand.
Her cheeks were slightly flushed under the setting sun.
Lawine's small mouth was slightly open.
For a moment, she seemed to have felt a little moved...
"Good, good, good!"
Count Lars and Countess Lars repeatedly praised him.
After a round of compliments.
They then took Yulian to the dinner party.
They also announced Yulian becoming Lawine's fiancé to the guests at the dinner.
Today was destined to be an important day for the Lars family!
The patriarch's only daughter, the talented Magic girl who had been rebellious and proud since childhood, was engaged!
It was already midnight when they left Count Larster's house.
Celebratory fireworks lit up the sky again.
Yulian waved goodbye to the enthusiastic Count Lars and Countess Lars.
He waved goodbye to Lawine's brothers.
He and Lawine appeared alone on the plaza in front of the mansion's main gate.
"I'm leaving now."
Seeing that Lawine's cheeks were flushed because she had drunk a little wine.
Yulian smiled lightly, preparing to leave.
Who knew that at this moment, Lawine would throw herself straight into his arms.
Yulian was stunned.
He felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
What was even more outrageous was yet to come!
The next second, Lawine's soft red lips pressed tightly against Yulian's mouth!
No matter how much Yulian resisted, it was useless!
Not until Lawine herself let go of her small mouth.
She spoke.
"Yulian, let's really be together!"
Boom!
Lawine was drunk, but Yulian was not!
His eyes widened.
Not family!
We are just a wicked "money" transaction!
As a result, you want to have your cake and eat it too!
