Annie watched from the side, and when she looked up, she suddenly froze.
What Lord Duke was writing turned out to be a marriage contract!
David wrote the last word, lifted his head, and a light of firmness and tenderness flickered in his eyes.
Annie's expression was complex; she never imagined that Lord Duke would write such a contract, leaving her momentarily speechless.
But after a brief moment, she suddenly teased, "Lord Duke, you're so cunning. Why can I only love you?"
"Hehe, will you sign it or not?"
David had a sly smile on his face.
He stood up, walked over to Annie, and handed her the marriage contract. "If you're willing, I will, as promised, always protect you."
Annie looked at the marriage contract in her hand, and her eyes suddenly became a bit teary.
Although Lord Duke had always kept his promise, she was still very moved.
"I am willing."
She nodded firmly and then signed her name on the marriage book.
In that instant, a powerful energy surged from the depths of their souls, establishing an indescribable intimate connection between them!
David knew this connection came from the Heart of Contract.
It was a unique power that even he himself couldn't defy.
In a mysterious way, the Heart of Contract seemed to connect to something.
If one were to violate the power contained within the contract, they would be punished by a mysterious force.
"What is this?" David murmured.
It was the first time he felt this way, as if touching the origin of the world.
This should be the source of power for the Wizard's Contract Book, representing the powerful rules of the contract.
"My current strength is still too weak; this is not something I can explore now."
After a brief moment, David shook his head and continued to feel the Heart of Contract within him.
With the establishment of this connection, he suddenly felt a spiritual power merging into the Heart of Contract.
Going forward, if he wanted to dissolve the contract, he could activate the Heart of Contract to release it with the confirmation of both parties.
"Lord Duke."
Annie opened her eyes at this moment, showing surprise on her face.
Apparently, she also felt that special spiritual connection.
She had a feeling that if she violated the contents of the contract, something bad would definitely happen.
"Hmm."
"My Heart of Contract can indeed replace the Contract Book."
David gave an affirmative answer, feeling that the Contract Book was probably also made using a similar power to the Heart of Contract.
"Now, you can't run away." He teased.
"I never intended to run away."
Annie's expression softened. She gently hugged the man in front of her and rested her head on him.
"Shall we... celebrate a little?"
...
In the evening.
David wrote seven identical marriage contracts and gave them to his other seven wives.
All along, David hadn't been able to give the ladies a definite identity, making this marriage contract even more important.
"Lord Duke, thank you."
"Hmph, you better take responsibility after signing this!"
"Huh, why can we only love you? That's not fair!"
David's gaze fell on the protesting Cynthia, and he chuckled, reaching out his mischief hand.
...
In the time that followed.
David began writing other contracts.
Among them was the contract for witches joining the Wizard Castle.
This contract could impose some constraints on the witches, ensuring they followed the rules set by the Wizard Castle.
Afterward, there would definitely be many more witches joining the Wizard Castle, making a contract for joining the organization very important.
Just the clause that all witches joining the Wizard Castle must confront any attack on the Wizard Castle is enough to protect its safety.
Apart from that, there's his main target this time, the Oath of Loyalty for the lords.
This Oath of Loyalty is very simple, including the Kingdom's allegiance clauses and some customary provisions.
This means that what was once only verbal allegiance has transformed into a written contract.
As long as anyone pledging loyalty to him signs this contract, they'll be influenced by the Heart of Contract, compelled to strictly adhere to the Oath of Loyalty!
From then on, anyone who signs the Oath of Loyalty can never betray him!
After completing the writing of the Oath of Loyalty, David rode the Ghost Wolf Beast, leading the Wolf Cavalry away from Frost Wolf Ridge.
In the snowy field, the Ghost Wolf Beast's silhouette was very steady. The wind and snow couldn't hinder their pace at all, and they easily reached Beiyuan City.
Beiyuan City was one of the territories influenced by the Royal Family of Silver Moon Kingdom.
Beiyuan City's location is near the Western Territory, at the forefront of the Northern Lands battlefield, and the Desolate Wolf Clan faces considerable pressure.
Although the knight claimed that the Desolate Wolf Clan had already allied with the Silver Moon Kingdom, David wasn't entirely convinced.
Regardless of whether the Desolate Wolf Clan had allied with the Silver Moon Kingdom, just one Oath of Loyalty would be enough to ensure their loyalty!
If Earl of Desolate Wolf really dared to violate the Oath of Loyalty, he would face the backlash of the Heart of Contract!
"Finally, back again."
Yuna followed next to David, looking at the familiar walls in front of her, her expression complex.
Half a year ago, she was still the eldest lady of the Desolate Wolf Clan, and now she's the lover of Duke Frost Wolf.
However, she had also become a Female Knight of the Frost Wolf Knight Order, and she couldn't express how she felt now.
Upon the city wall.
The soldiers guarding the city saw the Frost Wolf Knight Order from afar.
