"My uncle wrote a letter saying that someone is pursuing Mordred recently and asked me to go back and check to see if there is any chance."
Artoria said.
When Aslan heard this, he felt very guilty.
Of course he knew about this, Sikov's daring son, so Sikov asked Aslan to grant his son a marriage, but Aslan refused on the grounds of free love.
Since then, he has not interfered with this matter, and he did not expect that Sikov's son would not give up.
Doesn't he know that the woman he is pursuing is a powerful knight mentor, so he is not afraid that Mordred will kill him if he pushes too hard when they are married?
Sharon also got this news, but she didn't tell Artoria. She smiled softly and said: "Then I am also going to meet Elena at the border. She is going to open the clothing industry to the neighboring Principality of Thoros.
, and by the way, determine the management rights of the Soros Principality."
The reason why management rights need to be determined is because in addition to Sharon's people, Vlada's people have also infiltrated into the Soros Principality.
"good!"
Unknowingly, Aslan became a loner again.
"If it's too boring, I can ask Shirley to accompany you."
Sharon suddenly whispered in Aslan's ear.
Aslan immediately refused and said righteously: "During this period, I will keep myself as safe as a jade. No woman other than you will touch me."
Artoria nodded with satisfaction.
Elitelina looked suspicious.
Only Sharon showed a sweet smile and encouraged Aslan to work harder.

In Catrons, the imperial capital of Zanskat, a special dance is being held in the aristocratic district.
Bright magic lights illuminated the spacious main banquet hall, and soft and cheerful tunes echoed in the indoor space. The music carried the unique ecstasy and extravagance of the early Zansikat Empire.
This kind of private dance that only invites a few close friends is bound to not have too many guests. A dozen invited guests stand together in twos and threes, chatting casually in the hall. The mellow wine and exquisite snacks are not too much.
By attracting these visitors from the upper class, almost all of their attention is placed on the small temporary fenced platform in the center of the hall.
There is a weird-looking machine with an iron frame and a series of complex connecting rods and gear mechanisms. The neatly arranged cotton threads between the metal rods in the upper part of the machine are reminiscent of textiles.
, but this is the first time everyone has seen such a weird loom.
The guests stopped around the machine intentionally or unintentionally, discussing or speculating in low voices about the origin of the machine and the banquet host's intention of placing it here.
This unattractive, even ugly mechanical creation does not match the atmosphere of a high-class banquet. Placing it in the center of the hall is definitely not for decoration, let alone the Zansikat Empire's industrial development is increasingly prosperous, and many inconspicuous or
Ugly machines can bring huge production wealth.
As long as they are not stubborn old nobles, they will definitely pay attention to any new machine affairs in the empire, and they may be able to discover huge wealth opportunities from them.
"It can't be a new toy!"
In the banquet hall, a young nobleman wearing a dark red coat was discussing in a low voice with his companions next to him.
"Last time, Peart took out the bicycle he just bought from the Eurasian Federation."
"I heard that he brought it from the Imperial Industrial Research Institute. Many people are saying that this thing is of epoch-making significance."
The companion next to him immediately echoed: "Also, I heard that the eccentric old magician has been very close to Peart recently..."
Some people who were not well-informed asked in confusion: "A weird old magician? Is there such a person in the Imperial Manufacturing Research Institute?"
"Yes, that is a famous figure. It is said that Ms. Nalis personally vouched for it. Her identity is very secret and cannot be traced at all. As a result, when she came over, she brought several very important technological inventions and was listed as S by the empire.
Class secret..."
The low-pitched discussion among the guests did not last long. As the music gradually turned soothing and low, everyone's eyes turned to the entrance of the hall. The attendants in black shorts opened the heavy and gorgeous door.
Viscount Peart, who was tall and thin and wearing a loose dark coat and a monocle, appeared at the door.
This Mr. Viscount, who is less than thirty years old, has a cheerful smile on his face. He is always so beaming, and there is an atmosphere around him that good things will happen at any time. Only those who are familiar with him know that his beaming smile is
, how vicious and insidious it is.
Today, behind Mr. Viscount, there were two people, one of whom was very strange and they had never seen him before.
The stranger is the old-school magician who wears black magician robes with an indiscernible appearance and a gloomy temperament. At first glance, he looks like an old-school magician with a weird temper and is difficult to get along with. The other person is an old acquaintance of everyone, Winchester from the Imperial Craftsman Research Institute.
Researcher.
Winchester is not tall and somewhat hunched over. He is a middle-aged man with an obscene look on his face. Even though he is wearing a brand new and respectable woolen coat, he still looks like he is hiding at the bottom of a slum.
A little thief who can't stand up to the table.
He followed Viscount Peart and the black-robed magician openly and chatted with Viscount Peart very familiarly. He was already used to this kind of dance.
The unfamiliar faces aroused the curiosity of the guests. Although they had already guessed the identity of the black-robed magician, everyone asked without being rude. They just looked at the two black-robed men behind Viscount Peart with the reserve of a noble.
The magician glanced at him and turned his attention back to the host of the banquet.
The visitors were all friends of Viscount Peart, so naturally they were not so reserved. Some raised their wine glasses and greeted the host with a smile: "Viscount Peart, thank you for the wine and food. This banquet was really enjoyable."
I’m very impressed, my friend, why don’t you come and introduce your new toys and friends to everyone?”
"This is not a toy, Viscount Encore!" Viscount Peart had a bright smile on his face. He walked towards the center of the hall and came to the weird-looking machine. Then he turned to face the guests he invited and relaxed.
Spread your arms and point to the machine behind you in an exaggerated gesture.
"This is a new era!"
"You have become more and more fond of such exaggerated words recently!" A woman wearing a veil couldn't help laughing and shaking her head: "You said the same thing last time when you introduced 'bicycle' to us, but it's a pity that it is suitable for civilians
