When the escort knights and entourage led by Fast saw the miserable Master Jim, they became angry and wanted to leave some harsh words, but were frightened by Sig and others and did not dare to speak, so they could only leave in despair.

The group returned to the territory. When Viscount Fast saw his son who had lost his hands, his eyes were about to burst, his expression became cloudy, and he was suppressing anger in his heart.

He expected that Jim would cause trouble in the Baron's Mansion, but he did not expect such a result. How dare Baron Arnold!

Are you ignoring the face among the nobles?

This is no longer a matter of Jim having his hands chopped off, but more about the honor of the Fast family.

After the treatment of many doctors, Jim finally woke up.

He became hysterical after learning that he had lost his hands, roaring in the room to vent his emotions.

"I want him to pay the price! I want him to die! Where is my father? I want to see my father!"

Jim knew very well that the only person who could help him take revenge at this time was Viscount Fast. He was very excited and asked his servants to find the Viscount.

The servant who served him felt in a dilemma and did not obey his orders. Jim was stimulated and his expression became distorted, "You are very happy to see me like this, right? You don't even want to listen to what I say? You also Damn it!"

"Master, it's not like that, Master..." The servants wanted to explain in fear. At this time, the door was pushed open, and Viscount Fast walked in expressionlessly.

Jim's eyes lit up and he said to his father: "Father, please punish them quickly and drive out these low-class people who disrespect the etiquette."

Viscount Fast looked at his son, who was mentally unstable and might collapse at any time. He waved his hand and said, "Do as he said."

"Yes, sir." The butler behind the viscount gave a sharp look, and the faces of the servants turned pale.

"Look, look, look! I told you to disrespect me! You deserve it!" Jim shouted, as if this was the only way to retain his last pitiful self-esteem.

"Jim."

Viscount Fast called out, his eyes falling on Jim's empty hands, his heart ached, and he hated Arnold even more.

"Father, you must kill Baron Arnold! You cannot let him go easily." Jim said fiercely.

Viscount Fast nodded silently and said: "I have already started to deal with this matter. The reason I came here this time is to ask you what happened at that time. Tell me everything you did so that I can send a letter to the royal capital to submit the application. .”

"I was then"

Jim told the story of what happened, and finally said: "The maid was disrespectful to me. I just disciplined her for a while and then fainted. I don't know what happened next."

After listening to Jim's words, Viscount Fast stood up and said, "You should have a good rest. I will make the Arnold family pay a heavy price."

——

Arnold territory, mansion.

Erin's room.

Ron invited Mr. White to show Eileen that the slap only left a red mark. Now the swelling has gradually subsided after applying herbs, but the important thing is the mental damage caused to Eileen.

Looking at Eileen sleeping soundly, Ron stood by her bed alone, not letting anyone else in. Recalling the hazy look in Eileen's eyes in the courtyard, an uncontrollable violent emotion surged in his heart. .

Yes, at that moment, Ron had murderous intentions towards Jim. This was the first time he felt so angry towards a stranger.

He had to admit that Irene was a different existence in his heart. Ron was closer to Irene than anyone else.

When he first came to this strange world, it was Irene's innocence and simplicity that gave him a sense of security.

Yes, it is a sense of security. From Erin's gossip, Ron obtained first-hand information about the world, so that he could play a good role as a new young lord who has lost his parents in the follow-up.

Despite Eileen's usual dull look, in fact she has always taken him as the 'young master' to heart, and will implement everything he says seriously.

Sometimes I will give him a surprise suddenly, so that he will not be bored day by day.

Erin, who is already fifteen years old, does not have mature thoughts like ordinary girls. She has her own ideas, but she looks very naive in the eyes of others, like a six or seven-year-old child.

For such an innocent and romantic girl, someone still had the heart to hit her. Ron took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

He looked at Eileen quietly, gently smoothed the hair on her forehead with his hands, paused, and gently pressed a finger on her forehead, moving with his thoughts, a character card was formed.

【Silver One Star】

【Irene】

[Favorability: 94 (‘blurred’)]

【picture】

[Entry 1: Capable maid (white)]

——

The favorability score has reached 94 points, but the description behind the good height is vague and seems impossible to determine.

The little maid failed to live up to expectations, with only 94 points of favorability. Ron did not take his hand back, but hesitated for a moment, and his eyes fell on entry 1.

——[Gourmet (green): You are not good at cooking, but you have the ability to taste food and can distinguish all the ingredients in food]

Not good at cooking?

Is that okay? Ron deleted the entry directly.

——[Being cute (white): You can share some of your cuteness with others]

——[Little girl selling lollipops (white): No one can refuse the candies you sell]

ten minutes later.

Ron's face twitched, and he tapped Erin's forehead with his fingers, "You little snack!"

He reviewed a lot of entries, almost half of which were related to food, but in the end he couldn't come up with any entry that satisfied him.

After staying long enough, Ron stood up and left the room.

As the door was closed, Erin, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes. She sat up straight, looked left and right with confused eyes, and then raised her hand to touch her forehead, with doubts in her eyes.

The meeting hall of the mansion.

Everyone started discussing the territorial war that would happen next. They were led by Joyce, Amelia and Thomas. Originally, Thomas' position should have belonged to the knight captain Abel, but Abel gave this position to Thomas.

Joyce said: "A war between two territories requires a written document to be submitted to the royal family and the signatures of the two lords in person. This takes a lot of time. We can use this time to investigate how many troops and available resources the Fast Territory has. Funds so that we can make appropriate preparations.”

Rosalind could also participate in this meeting as she was responsible for managing the territory's finances. She said, "Leave the investigation to me and Mr. Abel."

Joyce looked at Abel and he nodded, "I have no objection."

Later, Joyce brought up some areas that needed attention, and everyone worked together to find solutions.

"Miss Amelia, do you have anything to add?"

Only some people in the chamber knew Amelia's identity, and Joyce did not address her as a princess.

Amelia said slowly: "Don't just focus on the surface. You need to be more careful about the things you can't see behind the scenes."

Others didn't know why, but Joyce and Thomas looked thoughtful, and they obviously understood the meaning of what Amelia said.

At this time, the door of the meeting hall was opened, Ron walked in, and everyone stood up and saluted.

Ron came to the main seat and sat down, gesturing for everyone to continue. He listened to the discussion while admiring the newly built conference hall.

Colin put a lot of thought into designing this conference hall. The conference room is large and gives people a serious atmosphere.

It was originally planned to be used after the new city was established, but unexpectedly it was used now.

The last point of discussion among everyone was how many people from the Arnold Territory would fight. In terms of numbers alone, compared to the Fast Territory, the Arnold Territory was not strong in terms of military strength, but was incomparably weaker.

Except for the eleven people who belong to the Baron Palace Knights, the only ones who can participate in the battle are the town guards. Even if they are all added together, there are only more than 300 people in total.

You must know that the war between the Earl of Eugene and the Marquis of Alfred is always conducted on a small battlefield with thousands of people.

Unless they are forced to recruit those in the territory to follow them on the battlefield.

Strictly speaking, the subjects are the property of the lord. In order to maintain the dignity and reputation of the lord, forcibly recruiting the subjects to go to the battlefield will not be criticized, and it is a normal method.

Some anxious lords would force the citizens of their territories to fight for them.

Of course, in order to ensure that the recruited people would not give up, some lords would choose inducements and use large amounts of gold coins to arouse their desire to win; some lords would use despicable means to force them to fight.

It all depends on what kind of person the lord is.

Everyone present was unable to make a decisive choice. Half of the Arnold Territory are now refugees, and the remaining half are the original territory residents. In order to maintain the operation of the territory, no one is idle. If there is a recruitment now, it may happen. This is the consensus of everyone.

Seeing this, Ron finally said: "I will not force the recruitment. Leave the task of participating in the war to the Cavaliers. Thomas, you will make the specific arrangements. I only want the results."

After saying that, he stood up and left the meeting hall. His tough behavior left everyone helpless. The main things were discussed and the lord left. The first meeting ended and everyone left one after another.

Joyce said to Thomas: "Mr. Thomas, I don't understand things on the battlefield. You can make arrangements and I will cooperate."

".good."

Thomas could only agree, and Abel smiled and patted his shoulder, "How does it feel to be trusted by the lord?"

"I feel pressured. I only have a rough understanding of the strength of the Fast Army. They can send at least more than 600 people. Among them is a third-level knight named Gary. He is the knight commander of the Viscount Palace."

Thomas told the truth.

"Don't worry, we have two third-level knights here, and you're almost second-level, too. That guy Sig is very strong, and the opponent's third-level knights are no match for him."

Abel comforted him, then paused and said, "Besides, do you think that the lord will do something that you are not sure about?"

"Um?"

Thomas woke up suddenly when he heard this, "If you know, just tell me what the Lord means."

Abel paused for a moment and said angrily: "Of course the Lord has a profound meaning in doing this."

——

Outside the lord's room door.

Sig came here with one person, knocked on the door and shouted inside: "Lord, I brought Taylor."

After getting the reply, Sig said to Taylor who looked excited: "Go in, don't forget what I taught you. If you make the lord displeased, you won't be able to reap the consequences."

"I remember it all, why don't you trust me?" Taylor smiled confidently, then pushed the door open and entered.

Taylor entered the room and soon saw Ron sitting on the sofa in front of the window. He was a little nervous. He recalled the knight etiquette that Sig taught him. He came to Ron, knelt down on one knee, and touched his shoulder with his left hand, " I’ve met the lord.”

Seeing this, Ron chuckled. Taylor didn't dare to look up. Ron's voice came, "Compared to the first time I met you, you look more presentable now. It seems that Sig has taught you well." .”

Hearing this, Taylor smiled awkwardly. When he was about to speak, he thought of Sig's instructions and closed his mouth again.

Ron's voice sounded again.

"I have heard what Sig said about you. As for why you serve my Lord, I have the answer in my heart."

Ron spoke in a very calm tone. As expected, Taylor was misled by the people in the territory and thought he was an upright and benevolent lord, but in fact he was not. Everything was purposeful.

Taylor raised his head with a puzzled expression on what the lord meant by this.

"I heard that you cut off the hand of Viscount Fast's son. That was my personal order. I violated the rules of the nobility. Now you should know that I am not the master in your mind."

Ron said slowly. He didn't even look at Taylor's expression. Before the other party could speak, his words continued.

"Not only that, even those good deeds you think are my ulterior motives. I distributed food to the refugees, they did things for me, and built a new city. Speaking of which, I still made a profit."

He used several examples to portray himself as a dark-hearted lord who used intrigues to gain fame.

Finally, he raised his lips slightly and said in a casual manner: "In this case, do you still want to serve me as your lord?"

Taylor fell silent, lowering his head as if he was struggling and thinking.

"Leave. I won't tell anything about you." Ron waved his hand and issued the eviction order.

"No!"

Suddenly, Taylor yelled and raised his head suddenly, his eyes were firm, and his will was visible to the naked eye.

"Although you keep saying you have ulterior motives, I, no, not just me, in the eyes of everyone, it was you who gave them food, clothing, and supplies. It was you who saved them and gave them a way to live. The opportunity also gave them dignity.”

Taylor's eyes were wide open and his whole body was trembling, as if he was suppressing the excitement in his heart. Sig, who was waiting outside the door, was anxious and wanted to break in, but Ron warned him that he must not go in without an order.

Ron said nothing, just looked at him quietly.

"And if you were really that bad, you wouldn't drive me away. Instead, you would use me, squeeze out all my value, and make me die."

Taylor affirmed that he is a second-level professional, and he is still so young, and powerful people will choose to win over him. This is his potential and value.

Hearing these words, Ron looked at him with a smile and said in a teasing tone: "Is there a possibility that I don't like you?"

"ah?"

Taylor was stunned, his expression was very happy.

"Okay, since you don't want to leave, then stay, but it won't be that easy to leave in the future."

Ron didn't say anything more and raised his hand to let him back down.

In confusion, Taylor obeyed the order and left the room with self-doubt. When Sig saw him coming out, he slapped him awake and asked: "Why are you stunned? Tell me, did the lord give you something special?" "

"Something? Nothing."

Upon hearing this answer, Sig looked at him with a slightly disappointed look, sighed and said, "Let's go."

Taylor didn't know why, so he followed him and left.

in the room.

Ron smiled. As he said before, everything was an ulterior plan.

After knowing the reason why Taylor's favorability was so high, he planned the scene just now.

When facing the ideal person they admire, people often subconsciously beautify them; if there is even the slightest discrepancy, they will feel disgust or even hatred.

Therefore, Ron decided to tell Taylor the 'truth', show his true side, and finally let Taylor make a 'choice'.

After clearly understanding everything, Taylor's will will be stronger and he will never betray him in the future.

As for why Taylor would not choose to leave, it is because his character will only have this outcome.

Of course, this is not a false choice. Even if Ron does not want it in the end, he will still let Taylor go as agreed.

In fact, Taylor did not disappoint.
