Farming with Entries: From Lord to Emperor Chapter 591 - 292: Do You Want to Become a Top Knight?

...

...

"Hahaha!"

Vivian laughed recklessly and comnted, "The Earl of the Tulip actually asks his own child for a gift on their first birthday, it’s really..."

Before Vivian could finish, she realized sothing.

The laughter stopped abruptly, and her expression instantly turned serious.

"I apologize, my lord, I didn’t an to offend your father."

Vivian’s voice carried a hint of nervousness, as the future Earl of the Tulip would also beco her father.

This relationship made her choose her words more cautiously.

"Just be mindful in the future; although I don’t care, it’s best not to speak like this in front of outsiders."

Luo De patted Vivian’s leg,

"Actually, I find it a bit strange too."

Luo De paused thoughtfully, then slowly said, "But I think he ant to remind of sothing through this way."

"Now I am qualified to enjoy all the support provided by the family, but at the sa ti, I must also take on the corresponding responsibilities and duties, right?"

"Ah, so that’s what he ant?!"

Vivian covered her mouth, looking at Luo De in surprise,

"It seems my thinking is still too shallow."

"Or perhaps I’m overthinking it."

Luo De took a deep breath, "But no matter what, it’s good that he is willing to acknowledge , having more allies is always beneficial."

To be honest, Luo De didn’t have deep blood relations with the Tulip Clan.

This kind of connection needs ti spent together to nurture, not sothing that imdiately arises from a change in attitude.

But he had to admit that nobles generally treated their formally recognized offspring quite well.

This wasn’t just because Luo De’s personal strength was acknowledged, but more importantly, it was the trust brought by that natural blood connection.

Even in a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship, people would inevitably prioritize their family mbers.

This is an unwritten basic rule in noble society.

"I just don’t know what would be suitable to give..."

Luo De sighed helplessly.

Black Pine Ridge has no shortage of goods, and plenty of products can bring prosperity to the territory.

But none of them could be considered truly valuable.

"Our Glazed Factory can make so bottles and jars for now, but we’re still far from crafting exquisite cups and artworks."

Luo De knocked on the table, always feeling a deep sense of helplessness when it ca to gift-giving.

"Actually, we have many options to give, a well-crafted bow, an exquisitely sharp longsword, or even a healing potion which is precious to ordinary people, right?"

Vivian pondered, suggesting, "Or even, a Knight Roar Potion?"

"The first two are worth considering, but as for the magic potion..."

Luo De hesitated.

After all, the Tulip Clan wasn’t Luo De’s to dictate.

"Lord, Gala sent a ssage."

While Luo De was pondering, a Fox Girl ca in to report: "Lurice from the Hawk Clan sent a ssenger wanting to enter Black Pine Ridge, followed by two wagons full of goods."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this news, Luo De was a little surprised.

Sending a ssenger, with wagons full of goods... seeking peace?

But "Madre" had already withdrawn, so why send a ssenger now?

Luo De thought for a mont.

Afraid of Madre appearing again?

Indeed, having such a troubleso guy in one’s territory is quite unbearable for anyone.

Luo De smiled and instructed the Fox Girl, "Let them co."

"Yes, my lord."

The Fox Girl bowed and left to convey Luo De’s orders.

...

...

Three days later.

In the manor hall.

"It’s an honor to see your handso and valiant self in person,"

The ssenger from Lurice deeply bowed to Luo De, almost bending to ninety degrees, displaying impeccable respect,

"I am Beo Ka, the ssenger of Baron Lurice from the Hawk Clan, representing Baron Lurice to apologize for the Red Griffin caravan’s encounter at Eagle Ridge."

"As neighbors, Baron Lurice is also willing to coexist peacefully with you."

"Of course, my poor language cannot fully express my lord’s intentions, here is her letter for you."

With that, Beo Ka bowed his head and held the letter with both hands, presenting it forward.

Vivian stepped forward voluntarily, taking the letter and setting it aside, without handing it to Luo De.

"Beo Ka, I am pleased that Baron Lurice has such thoughts."

Luo De didn’t say much more, waving his hand at Beo Ka,

"Traveling across the desert is quite tiring, go rest first, my steward Lawrence will take care of you."

"Thank you for the audience, honorable Lord Luo De."

Beo Ka bowed and followed the guiding Lawrence to leave.

Once all outsiders had left, Vivian spread the letter open, then leaned in to sniff it, carefully checking it front and back.

"No magic fluctuations, no traces of poison."

Vivian handed the letter to Luo De.

Luo De took it, and quickly scanned through it.

Vivian looked at Luo De putting down the letter, leaning in with curiosity in her eyes.

"She sends a letter along with two wagons of goods, what is she up to?"

Vivian tilted her head, a mischievous smile at her lips as she asked, "Is she pleading for rcy with you?"

"You could say that, but not so bluntly as the letter indicated."

Luo De then briefly explained the contents of the letter to Vivian.

In the letter, Lurice first expressed sincere apologies to Luo De.

It stated that although the Hawk Clan was not directly involved in the caravan attack, the Hawk Clan had the responsibility to eradicate robbers within their domain to ensure the safety of trade routes within the territory.

Lurice even flattered Luo De, suggesting that as fellow nobles, they should join hands in cooperation to jointly combat those evil robbers.
