"Andre and I once had an agreement," Ron slowly expressed:
"The Ralph Clan will form a marriage alliance with the Royal Family to solidify the relationship between the two houses. Specifically, it is the offspring of my eldest brother who will marry Andre's descendant."
This news exploded in the hall like a bombshell.
Edmund, the eldest brother, was filled with disbelief, while Father became instantly agitated, almost jumping from his seat.
"Marrying... marrying into the Royal Family?"
The Count's voice trembled, a gleam of ecstatic light in his eyes:
"This is an honor our family hasn't dared dream of in hundreds of years!"
"Ron... is this true?" Edmund also couldn't hide his excitement: "Did Prince Andre really agree to such an alliance?"
Ron nodded:
"Not only did he agree, but we have already established this agreement through a formal contract. The contract is effective for a thousand years, enough to span countless generations."
