"No, there really isn't, Lord Duke."
Carlos reiterated, "I have no other relationship with the Eldest Princess; in my eyes, she is just a child."
"Of course, I believe you."
Luo De put away his curiosity, shifted the topic, and said solemnly,
"In that case, I agree with you."
"As long as the Eldest Princess doesn't seek death, I will not make things difficult for them."
"I will find some suitable places for them, so they can spend their later years in peace."
Luo De promised, "In the future, the people of the Shuiyan Clan will be well-fed and clothed, as long as they live honestly."
Carlos's eyes flashed with joy, and he once again bowed deeply,
"Thank you for your kindness!"
Carlos breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly, "Your grace is like the bright sunlight, illuminating the future of the Shuiyan Clan."
"I will soon pardon the Eldest Princess."
Luo De smiled and nodded slightly, continuing, "But before that, we have another matter to attend to."
