Chapter 1951: Chapter 589 Preparing to Slay the Dragon_2

But Andre still felt that the marriage alliance didn’t seem to have much impact.

After all, what the two major forces needed was merely this layer of relationship, even if the marriage were just a formality, having a bloodline inheritance would be even better.

It wouldn’t take much effort.

"If that’s the case, I have an idea..."

However, before Andre could say more, Leonard Churchill realized the other party hadn’t given up, slightly moved his lips, and transmitted something.

In an instant, Andre’s eyes widened, his expression stiffened, wanting to say something but seemingly tongue-tied: "You..."

Some words cannot be spoken.

Not everyone is fated to hear them.

....

What Leonard Churchill said was, of course, related to some hints concerning the "Plane Inspector".

He was perhaps the only one besides Elder Clinton in this world who had definitively known the truth.

Noah Wright’s death confirmed the intentionally erased historical truth.

With the presence of that "Plane Inspector," the entire Card Master Plane was like a huge prison, countless card master predecessors perished attempting to transcend the prison.

And Leonard Churchill also wanted to see the world beyond the prison.

But this path of exploration was destined to be extremely dangerous.

Even someone as powerful as Emperor Lanlingster died on the path of exploration.

Let alone others.

It can be said that once entangled with this secret, even those of the Ninth Tier are as insignificant as ants.

So anyone with a connection to this cause and effect, no one on the entire plane can guarantee survival.

Andre, at this tier, may have more or less come into contact with some ancient secrets, judging by his surprised expression, he clearly guessed something.

He squinted his eyes, staring at Leonard Churchill with an incomparably heavy expression, wondering if he misunderstood.

But the more he looked, the more frightened he became.

Clearly, the other party wasn’t joking.

Leonard Churchill’s lips slightly curled, as if saying: I warned you before, it was you who wanted to hear it.

The study instantly fell into a bizarre dead silence.

Andre’s expression was unprecedentedly solemn.

The other high-ranking members of the Iris Legion watched the silent Marshal, fearing the discussion would collapse.

However, before anyone could think too much, Andre, who had pondered for a long time, suddenly waved his hand: "Alright, as you say. It’s settled! Come, arrange for the distinguished guest to rest first."

....

Leonard Churchill left the study, leaving a room full of Iris high-ups somewhat bewildered.

And the Andre Family’s elders and women hurried over upon hearing the news.

"What? Not only did that kid reject our Andre Family’s marriage alliance, but you also want my precious daughter Isabel to be his disciple?"

"Marshal, I think those guys from the East Wilderness are too arrogant. Just having won an internal conflict, do they think they’re qualified to stand on equal footing with us? Hmph, their machinery technology might be worthy of attention, but everything else is far from us. We’ve agreed to a marriage alliance to save face for them, and they insolently refused?"

"..."

Andre Family high-ups exploded upon hearing the result of the marriage alliance.

Everyone felt the family had been humiliated.

Their original plan was to target either the Allied Commander or the newly enthroned King of the East Wilderness for the marriage alliance.

Because normally, that would be a matching alliance.

Several people in the Iris Legion had met Camilla and Catherine, and their beauty had spread.

This also made many young members of the Andre Family eager to try.

Previously, Marshal Andre also thought the same.

He knew very well that even with machinery technology, the number of Dragon Descendants on the Old Continent still far exceeded the Allied Forces by thousands, tens of thousands.

People from the East Wilderness wanting to establish themselves on the Old Continent must have a strong ally.

Only then would they not be collectively excluded by lords from the Southern Continent.

And only after such extensive binding through marriage alliance would allies not spare any effort to help them.

So for the sake of benefit, they believed the Allied Forces had no reason to refuse.

After all, it was a beneficial choice for both sides.

Even if, due to some personal reasons, they didn’t agree, a bit of maneuvering to make the Allied Forces aware of their difficult situation would surely compel them to compromise.

Yet unexpectedly, Leonard Churchill came and disrupted all their plans.

The study was already in a chaotic state.

The elders and high-ups angrily discussed, even considering tearing up the alliance agreement.

Marshal Andre listened with a headache and waved his hand to silence everyone: "Alright! Quiet!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the study immediately fell silent.

After a brief pause, a handsome young man with golden hair couldn’t hold his composure and stood out, questioning: "Father, weren’t you saying to talk to the Allied Commander about the marriage alliance, why the sudden change of mind?"

The speaker was Andre’s seventeenth son, Bois.

An excellent candidate with both talent and ability for the marriage alliance.

With the strength of the Eighth Rank, he had the qualification to look down on others.

He looked at his silent father, eagerly saying: "I know there are rumors about Miss Carter’s close relationship with that Eastern Wasteland native, but I believe that when it comes to the marriage alliance between two strong forces, personal feelings shouldn’t be involved..."

On the Old Continent, there is no shortage of suitors for excellent young ladies, a quite normal situation.

Ever since he saw Catherine’s beauty, this master Bois no longer cared about anything else.

Dragon Descendants have a greater sense of possession than ordinary humans, he certainly wouldn’t allow such matters to occur.

As a father, Andre naturally noticed everything.

He looked at his son and lightly said: "Bois, put away your petty thoughts. And stop having any notions about Miss Carter. Otherwise, you will lose your life for it..."
