Bringing Eleanor back to the room, Ask was immediately treated like a hero by everyone.
"I'm ashamed to say that I only did a small job." Facing the grateful eyes of Emperor Otto and the Duke of Bavaria, Ask said modestly.
Leaving time for the three of them to reminisce about the past, Ask and the others left the room and went to the corridor outside.
"So, will my sister go back to the Duchy of Lorraine with you next?" Ludwig asked.
"Of course, Her Highness Sophie needs to formally become a citizen of the Saxon family and register her name in the genealogy. There is a series of work to be done." Bruno, the Fantasy Dragon, said with a smile.
"Are you going to take her back?" Ask asked in surprise.
"Sir Ask," said the Acid Dragon Hedwig, "I am very grateful for your efforts in persuading His Highness, but His Highness is of noble status, and I am afraid he cannot be a mercenary for a long time. You should understand the reason."
"Hey, the princess of the empire can't be a mercenary, but does that mean the princess of our Duchy of Bavaria can be a mercenary?" Red-haired Otto complained.
"That's different." Hedwig said helplessly, "She is not an ordinary princess."
That's right, the reason why Eleanor received such courtesy was not just because she had the blood of the dragon family flowing in her body, but because she was the only person in history and in the world who possessed the Indomitable Sword - she naturally had the legal status of the ruler of the Franks.
"Have you asked for her opinion?" Ask pulled out his trump card.
"Not yet." Bruno said with a smile, "If she refuses and insists on staying in the Blue Sword, there's nothing we can do."
"Hey, Bruno!" Hedwig said dissatisfiedly.
"Are you still planning to use force on her, Lord Acid Dragon?" Bruno joked, "Be careful not to get beaten to death by her."
Hedwig: …
He had fought with Eleanor before, and spat acid on her holy sword shield, but it had no effect at all.
"In short, I believe Your Majesty can persuade her to change her mind." Hedwig said stubbornly.
"Then we can make a bet," Bruno said, "that she will stay."
"What's the bet?" Hedwig asked.
"Let's bet on the dowry we should give her in the future," Bruno said. "The loser will help the winner."
"Then I won't gamble." Hedwig said immediately, "You have more wealth than me, why do you want me to pay for you?"
"So you're so sure you can't win so soon?" Bruno laughed and turned to Ask, "Look, even the Acid Dragon knows that she will definitely go with you, so when are you planning to get married?"
Ask:
Why did they suddenly shift their firepower to me
"Well, actually we haven't developed to that point yet..." He could only say it reluctantly.
However, everyone looked at him with a look of "Do you think we are idiots?", making Ask almost unable to continue.
About half an hour later, Eleanor finally finished her business, and then red-haired Otto took the two of them back to Lusitania.
