Heroes of Might and Magic: The Storm Lord Chapter 248 The Pearl of the West Sea

Lovely's information was very accurate. The Grand Duke of Hazmerk had just returned to the fief from the imperial capital not long ago, and was currently handling military and political affairs in the Duke's mansion.

That afternoon, the captain of the attendants came in small steps from outside the door holding a dragon-shaped jade token in both hands, and reported to Grand Duke Hazmerk that he had a visitor.

The Grand Duke of Hazmerk's eyes swept over the hands of the captain of the guards, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"It seems that this is indeed a token of the royal family of the Golden Dragon Empire. Only a few distinguished figures are eligible to hold it. Did someone tell us who they are?"

The captain of the guard replied: "The other party did not reveal her identity, but only said that her master has important matters and hopes to get your help, Grand Duke."

Grand Duke Hazmerk nodded and said with a smile: "In this case, please invite this guest to wait in the West Flower Hall, and say that my lord will arrive later."

Soon, Lovely met Grand Duke Hazmerk in a classical and elegant flower hall.

After saluting, Lovely explained the purpose of coming tactfully, and then quietly waited for His Highness the Duke's reply.

Hearing that the other party was the special envoy of Prince Silvana of the Golden Dragon Empire, who came for Bixue Lingzhu, Grand Duke Hazmerk frowned slightly, and did not give an answer immediately.

After a long time, the Grand Duke spoke slowly and directly declined.

"Please trouble your noble envoy to express my sincere greetings and apologies to His Royal Highness the Prince and Grand Duke Yin Weiss on behalf of my lord. Borrow, please forgive me!"

Lovely understood that Grand Duke Hazmerk was telling the truth, and that the companion treasure of the elves really shared weal and woe with her, and they were connected as one.

Companion treasures are to elves themselves, just like organs that grow outside the body. They are all prosperous, and all are damaged. They are also the most important energy core, and their importance is no less than that of the brain and heart.

Especially treating serious injuries for others will not only consume the energy of the accompanying treasure, but also easily get the breath of other people, which will cause many inconveniences in the future.

But Lovely came prepared for this trip, and immediately replied seriously.

"His Royal Highness also knows that such a request will embarrass you and Master Jax."

"However, His Royal Highness still hopes to take this opportunity to form an marriage relationship with you, Grand Duke, and the two families will be happy forever—"

Immediately afterwards, Lovely proposed a series of generous dowry that Prince Silvana prepared for his daughter.

This includes—Danfeng Bailu County located on the west coast of the Titan Continent, and the Pearl Islands of North Orlan, plus one billion gold coins, countless jewels, and some precious ritual vessels...

As the powerful vassal on the southwestern border of Yongzhen in the Titan Empire, even as honorable as the Grand Duke of Hazmerk, he was terrified by the dowry that Prince Silvana of the Golden Dragon Empire provided for his daughter.

Money and gifts are all that matters. Although the Hazmerk Principality is not as rich as the Golden Dragon Empire, His Royal Highness, the Grand Duke, is not tempted by the treasure.

But the land is different, especially Danfeng Bailu County, which is the maritime trade center in the northwest of the Emerald Golden Dragon Empire. There are six natural ice-free ports in the county, known as the Pearl of the West Sea, with prosperous commerce and unparalleled wealth!

Throughout history, Danfeng Bailu County has been the territory directly under the royal family of the Golden Dragon Empire, and has never been granted to nobles with foreign surnames.

After the current empress of the Golden Dragon Empire came to the throne, she divided the three northwestern counties including Danfeng Bailu County, together with the North Orland Pearl Islands in the West Sea, to her only sister, Prince Silvana, as a fiefdom.

Unexpectedly, for the sake of her daughter, Danfeng Bailu County and North Orlan Pearl Islands were packaged together as a dowry—this is nearly half of the territory of His Royal Highness, and the actual value is more than half.

I have to say that there is nothing in this world that cannot be bought by money and land—if not, then there is not enough money and land!

However, Prince Silvana gave too much, and for a while, Grand Duke Hazmerk also felt his heart flutter.

His eldest son, Merdy, was a heroic and steady-minded son, an ideal candidate for succession to the dukedom.

And his other sons also got married and started families, either joined the army or entered politics, and each had his own development.

Only the youngest son, Jax, is not engaged yet. Originally, he planned to marry the youngest daughter of Grand Duke Gwentmok, Berena, for his youngest son, but now it seems that there may be a better choice!

At the very least, Grand Duke Kuntmok would never give out so much dowry!

However, as a respectable nobleman, although the Grand Duke of Hazmerk was very moved, he didn't agree immediately.

After all, a dowry and a gift are two different things.

No matter how much dowry, the right of ownership also belongs to the woman!

In case the relationship between the youngest son Jax and Nina is not good in the future, the land and wealth on the surface may leave the family at any time.

After thinking about it calmly, Grand Duke Hazmerk did not directly refuse this time, but said something tactfully.

"Thanks to the great love of His Royal Highness, the Hazmerke family is extremely honored."

"It's just that the little Jax has a bad temper, has a bad temper, and can't be restrained. I'm afraid he will often annoy Princess Nina in the future... Please think again, Your Highness the Prince!"

Lovely heard what the Grand Duke of Hazmerk meant, that is, I am satisfied with your conditions, but I cannot provide them all in the name of dowry.

Otherwise, if the young couple breaks up in the future, wouldn't it be a waste of time for the man to fetch water from a bamboo basket?

So she smiled slightly and made the following promise on behalf of His Royal Highness.

"After getting married, Her Majesty the Empress of the Underworld will confer the title of Marquis on her niece and son-in-law, and the fiefdom will be the whole county of Danfeng Bailu, and the Pearl Islands of North Orlan will be Tang Muyi, the lord of Princess Nina!"

This time, Grand Duke Hazmerk finally showed a satisfied smile on his face.

Danfeng Bailu County borders on his own territory, as long as his son Jax can become the Marquis of Danfeng Bailu, then——

Danfeng Bailu County, the "Pearl of the West Sea", will legally become the sacred territory of the Grand Duchy of Hazmerk!

However, even so, Grand Duke Hazmerk still did not agree on the spot, saying that this matter still needs the consent of his youngest son Jax.

In this regard, special envoy Lovely could only smile and wait for the good news.

...

That night, after an ordinary family dinner, Grand Duke Hazmerk ordered his younger son Jax to accompany him in the study, and told Jax the ins and outs of his marriage with the royal family of the Golden Dragon Empire.

After Grand Duke Hazmerk finished speaking, a strange look flashed in the eyes of the youngest son Jax, and he shook his head immediately, rejecting his father's proposal.

"Bixue Lingzhu is closely related to my life, and it is the key core of my practice—"

"And the Golden Dragon Empire's royal family is willing to pay such a high price this time, which is enough to show that Princess Nina's injury is very serious. Even if I can really use the Bixue Lingzhu to save Princess Nina, I'm afraid it will also hurt my companion treasure." It caused a lot of damage, so I don't want to, please forgive me, father!"
