In the Duncan family mansion.

After Dustin finished dinner, he was warmly kept by the Duncan family.

It was the first time that Natasha brought her boyfriend home, so the Duncan family naturally attached great importance to it.

As the Duke of the State, Duke Duncan personally accompanied the couple and specially called the couple to the study room to drink tea and chat.

With Duke Duncan's eyesight, he could naturally see that Dustin was not an ordinary warrior.

Whether it was his speech and behavior or his knowledge and erudition, he was far superior to ordinary people.

"Xiao Dustin, I fully support you and Natasha. Regardless of your status or background, as long as you two are in love, it is more important than anything else."

Duke Duncan said earnestly: "In addition, my Natasha has been spoiled since she was a child and has never suffered any grievances. After she follows you, I hope you can treat her well."

"Don't worry, Duke Duncan, I will never let Natasha down." Dustin looked serious.

The two have known each other for such a long time, and although there has been no substantial development, they have already expressed their feelings.

Natasha treats him wholeheartedly, so he naturally cannot let her down.

"Grandpa, you don't have to worry about this at all. I, your granddaughter, have a sharp eye and will never make the wrong choice." Natasha smiled proudly.

"You are a cunning girl, I am not afraid that you will suffer a loss, I am worried about Xiao Dustin, what if he learns bad things from you." Duke Duncan teased.

"Grandpa, are you so bad as to spoil the show? Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to get married?" Natasha puffed her lips, very dissatisfied.

"Hahaha..." Duke Duncan laughed heartily: "How can a girl from my Duncan family not get married? At most, I don't want a betrothal gift, just give more dowry."

"That's too cheap for him." Natasha glanced at Dustin charmingly.

"Speaking of marriage, what do you think, Xiao Dustin? If it's convenient, why not choose a time to arrange for the elders of both sides to meet and settle the marriage as soon as possible." Duke Duncan suddenly changed the subject.

The situation in Stonia will soon become turbulent, and he can't guarantee what the Duncan family will be like in the future.

Taking advantage of the current calm, marrying off the granddaughter as soon as possible is a wish.

"Duke Duncan, to be honest, I have some things to do recently and can't get away for the time being; but I promise that I will give you a satisfactory answer within three months!" Dustin replied.

The Dragon Source Qi has not yet gathered, and he dare not be careless with the national destiny.

In addition, he also needs to communicate with West Lucozia.

Since it is a meeting between the parents of both sides, Rufus Rhys must be notified anyway.

"With your words, I feel relieved." Duke Duncan nodded.

Three months is not a long time. According to the normal process, the wedding should be done by the end of this year.

"By the way, Grandpa, has something happened at home? Why haven't I seen my uncle and his family?" Natasha suddenly asked.

When they were having dinner, someone from Prince Montgomery's mansion suddenly came to visit.

Then, my uncles disappeared and haven't shown up since then, which made her curious.

"There are indeed some changes at home, but they are all trivial matters. You don't have to worry about them." Duke Duncan smiled.

"Grandpa, you have been worried since dinner. It doesn't look like a trivial matter. If you have any problems, you might as well tell us. Maybe we can give you some advice." Natasha said.

"You girl, I really can't hide anything from your eyes." Duke Duncan smiled and shook his head.

He didn't want these things to interfere with the normal life of his family, but now, it is obvious that he can't hide it anymore.

His granddaughter is eccentric and has many ideas. Maybe she really has some good ideas.

"The matter that worries me is indeed not small. It not only concerns the development of the Duncan family, but also determines the rise and fall of the Dragonmarsh in the future." Duke Duncan's smile slowly faded.

"What exactly is it?" Natasha was very curious.

"Rumor has it that the emperor has a terminal illness and has not much time left, but the candidate for the crown prince has been undecided. All the heirs who are capable of competing have begun to become active, forming gangs and factions, and developing their power. I predict that Stonia will soon be in a bloody storm." Duke Duncan sighed lightly.

"So Mark Montgomery came to the door today to use the name of marriage to pull the Duncan family into their camp?" Natasha quickly grasped the key to the problem.

Mark Montgomery had previously revealed his intention to marry the Duncan family and even took the initiative to pursue her, but she always treated him as air.

Now it seems that the Montgomery Palace has already made plans.

"You guessed right, the Montgomery Palace wants to form an alliance with us to strengthen its own power." Duke Duncan nodded.

"So, grandpa, what you are worried about now is whether to join the camp of Prince Montgomery's Mansion. If you don't join, it is equivalent to offending Prince Montgomery's Mansion, which may lead to the two sides becoming enemies. If Prince Montgomery's Mansion gains power, the Duncan family will have a hard time in the future; on the contrary, if you join the camp of Prince Montgomery's Mansion, once the power struggle fails, the Duncan family will suffer a catastrophe!"

At this point, Natasha couldn't help but frowned.

No wonder grandpa has a headache, this is indeed a dilemma.

The most important thing is that with the influence of the Duncan family, it is impossible to get out of this vortex.

"Yes, the Duncan family is now in a dilemma and needs to consider it carefully. This is why your three uncles went out." Duke Duncan said.

"Where did they go?" Natasha asked.

"Your eldest uncle went to the Spanner family to find out the situation, your second uncle went to the Bryant family to understand the situation, and as for your third uncle, I asked him to go to West Lucozia overnight." Duke Duncan did not hide it.

"West Lucozia?"

Hearing these two words, Dustin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Did Duke Duncan send his third son to the Rhys family to seek advice? - Ton
