Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord

Chapter 337 - 337 Tristana's Determination


337 Tristana’s Determination

Su Wan couldn’t find any fault in Tristana. She had given her a lot more than was necessary. First, the Frostwolf Clan token, and now, a manor!

“Lady Tristana, thank you so much! May our friendship be forever blessed by the Ice Goddess.” Su Wan lifted her wine glass in a toast to their friendship.

...

Tristana raised her own glass in acknowledgment. “To our friendship!”

They drank a lot that night. When Su Wan finally placed her glass down on the table, she noticed that Tristana was a bit red in the face from the alcohol.

“Lady Tristana, I don’t understand why you made the arduous journey yourself. You could’ve sent anyone on your behalf,” said Su Wan.

From what she knew, Tristana was an aristocrat with power. She didn’t need to travel all the way to make a trading deal, and yet she had done it anyway.

Tristana smiled. “True… but there are some things I need to do myself. I want to take control of the Frostwolf family.”

The competition in her family was fierce.

“You’re the eldest daughter, right?” asked Su Wan. “Wouldn’t you be first in line for the role anyway?”

“It is indeed better that I am the eldest, but it doesn’t work that way. Anyone who can prove themselves capable can take the mantle of the family.”

Tristana was clearly an ambitious and driven woman.

“Lady Tristana, I’ll do my best to support you in your endeavor. I look forward to you being accepted as the Grand Duke of the Frostwolf family,” said Su Wan.

Tristana smiled radiantly. Su Wan’s words made her feel happy. Getting the Lord’s recognition made her burdens feel lighter.

“Thank you,” said Tristana. “While I’m still alive, I’ll not let anybody else take control of the Frostwolf family!”

Su Wan nodded. She was moved by Tristana’s determination. Although the Ice Empire was too far away, Su Wan felt that having a powerful ally was always useful.

Moreover, both sides had already laid down the foundation for future cooperation. The Ice Empire seemed to have many precious things that could be traded in exchange for something that Su Wan’s territory had in abundance.

There was also the Soul Contract that only the royal family of the Ice Empire possessed. That was the only way to subdue the Vampire Duke. Right now, Su Wan knew nothing about the Ice Empire. However, if she befriended Tristana, she would have an opportunity to travel there.

As the family of the Grand Duke to the king, the Frostwolf family had remarkable significance. If Tristana could take over the title in the future, it might not be impossible to get the Soul Contract somehow.

Moreover, their friendship would mean that Tristana wouldn’t harm Su Wan’s territory and would provide help if needed.

Although Su Wan felt that she was overthinking about the future, she understood that it wasn’t a bad thing to plan ahead. Her territory would keep growing, and she could provide more support to Tristana to strengthen their friendship.

“Although my territory isn’t very big, it has its own strength. What do you lack right now? If I can provide that, I would be most obliged.,” said Su Wan.

Claude was moved by Su Wan’s offer. He didn’t expect her to help.

“Lord Su Wan, what you have offered is the greatest help to us,” said Tristana. “You don’t know how important the spider silk is to me right now.”

Su Wan nodded. “May I ask why it’s so important to you? Are you planning to make them into weapons and armor?”

“Yes,” said Tristana. “Some parts of the Ice Empire are so cold and brutal that no one can venture there. Almost no life can thrive in such places. However, these laces are rich in ore veins that can provide top-quality ores. With the spider silk, I hope to develop top-tier equipment and armor which can resist cold so that venturing into these places would no longer be impossible. However, it’s difficult to mass produce that for now, but I think I can still manage to turn the spider silk into something that can equip ordinary troops. Moreover, the spider silk has some magic that neutralizes the cold. It can be used to develop weapons and equipment to reduce ice damage. The possibilities are endless!”

“I see!” said Su Wan as she understood why the Scarlet Flame Demon Spider Silk was so important in the Ice Empire. It was no wonder Tristana had journeyed all this way to make this deal.

“Lady Tristana, if you can find the time after you return, please help me find out more about the Soul Contract,” said Su Wan.

“It seems that this vampire is very important to you.”

“Yes. It is a bit important to me.” Having a top-notch hero made all the difference, especially if a territory had made gods their enemies.

Tristana nodded. “When I return next month, I’ll ask His Majesty if he can bestow the Soul Contract on me. However, I don’t think he will. I’ll try for your sake, but please don’t hold on to any hopes.”

Su Wan was touched by her offer. She didn’t expect Tristana would go to that extent for her.

“Thank you so much!” said Su Wan. “If it succeeds, it’s great! If not, that’s okay too. I’ll try to find some other way. Thank you anyway. I know you don’t have to do it, but still…”

“Lord Su Wan, you’re too polite. Friends do things to help out each other, after all. I’ll try my best.”

“Thank you. I’ll also extend my support to you in any way I can.”

After much talking and drinking, the night came to an end. Su Wan waved at a maid and instructed her to show Tristana to the guest room.

Claude insisted on returning to his soldiers, who were outside the city gates. Su Wan asked a soldier to accompany him to the barracks where the soldiers were stationed.

The maid showed Tristana to the guest room on the second floor of the Dark Castle. She also helped the lady change into a night dress.

The maid was about to leave when a small head peeked through the door.

Tristana sensed her presence and looked toward the door to find a shy centaur standing at the threshold.
