Lord: Exiled by Stepmother, I'll Rule the World Anyway

"This is my castle.

"It looks like a big winery, uh, I mean no offense." Shirley looked at the square stone building in front of her, holding back the complaints in her heart, and praised it forcefully, "It's very unique, um, full of art. Tasteful castle, I love it.“

"Yes, it was renovated from a large winery." Field waved his hand indifferently.

The two of them walked side by side, and the horses' hooves would always splash up on the muddy dirt road. Although they were walking side by side, Field kept a considerable distance from Shirley, not out of gentlemanliness, but simply because Shirley smelled too bad.

The demihuman cavalry behind them were all shrouded in black robes and lined up in two lines silently. As soon as they entered the territory, the leader's silver claw reached out and made a gesture, and the cavalry left in the other direction.

"Wow! Look at those cavalry, they are not inferior to the knights of the Gasina family." Valtteri, Shirley's chosen one, opened his eyes wide and praised in an exaggerated and enthusiastic tone.

Chief Knight William carried a giant sword and a lance in his right hand, and the pennant with the family crest was flying again.

William said in a steady voice: "Yes! Mr. Field is a respectable nobleman. He dares to take root in the Night Territory for the future of mankind. It is awe-inspiring."

"Haha, keep a low profile." Field scratched his head shyly.

No wonder he became the chief knight. Who doesn't like the art of flattering someone?

I had no choice but to enter the Night Territory, otherwise I would die of assassination or be deprived of my noble title.

"There are so few people in this place."

And it’s so shabby, Shirley added in her mind.

The slave camp in the distance is filled with rotten wood. The big winery is slightly better, but the masonry buildings are filled with mud and moss. These are for wind protection, but they do not look beautiful.

The only advantage is that the air here is a hundred times fresher than in the gray fog, with only the smell of rotten wood.

"Because I let the slaves work in the lumber camp, the crops here are almost saturated, new farmland cannot be cultivated, and the purification potion is used up."

Field shrugged. He didn't want a large number of slaves to mix here. After all, the slaves knew about Asuna's existence. Although strict prohibitions were issued in advance, they were not allowed to talk too much.

Therefore, most people in the territory went to clear the main building and lumberyard.

"Okay, I just mentioned it casually. In fact, being able to lead people into the gray mist to explore is already amazing."

Seeing that Field kept a distance intentionally or unintentionally, Shirley closed her eyes slightly and felt very angry. Whether it is in the family domain or at a royal ball, she can always be one of the focuses. The dazzling golden tulip is her title.

This was the first time that she was disliked by a man, although at the moment, she was indeed in a state of embarrassment.

Hum, when I wash up, you will know what the proud noble lady looks like.

Field smiled: "Thank you for your compliment. It is really a pleasure to be praised by a young lady from the most loyal and brave family in the empire."

"No need to be so outspoken, Field, just call me Shirley. I think our meeting was very pleasant. We are already friends, aren't we?"

Although Shirley was dissatisfied with Field for taking away the artifact, she was still grateful. She held the reins with one hand, turned around and smiled: "I know your father, Count Kurt, is a brave and fearless knight. You are very similar to him."

Field glanced at Shirley with a strange look to make sure that the woman was not acting strangely.

Another boring polite talk, Field sighed silently, that's what nobles love.

Indeed, my cheap father was a brave and fearless knight, and he rode that beautiful stepmother so hard that he was as skinny as a mummy.

Let me ride next time, thank you, I also want to be a brave and fearless knight.

"Yes, for the future of the Holy Griffin Empire, there is no weak person in the Rose family." Field also replied politely. After speaking, Field caught a glimpse of Asuna and Rosalía from the corner of his eye. The two of them sneakily waved at Field. Waving their hands, knowing that they had completed their task, they immediately felt relaxed.

"Dear gallant knights, I have prepared a guest room for you. Please don't mind the simplicity of the territory. I have shown the highest sincerity." They were vaccinated in advance. Field was extremely distrustful of the nobles.

After all, none of the nobles I met were normal.

The corrupt Simon, the weird Bull Baron, and a bunch of bastards from the family.

In comparison, Rosalia, who sometimes speaks against the will of heaven, is already the purest noble girl.

Field was as guarded against them as he was against thieves.

"You are so kind. This is a perfect haven. Our cavalry team has traveled through the cursed land full of hatcheries for a month and a half. They can't take a bath, wash or change clothes, and even have to sleep like an owl. It's really fast. It tortured me to death.”

The big winery was as shabby as a slum. Shirley disliked it, but she was also really happy.

"Then don't worry, there will be enough food and clean water pipes."

The food will depend on the quantity we serve, Field added silently.

The night chef, Mr. Plate, has his busiest day yet.

"Hurry up, are you going to embarrass me in front of the guests?" Kaa kept urging, and glanced unkindly at the crock pot where the meat was being chopped.

"Sparrow, Scissors, are you just going to watch me work alone? Bring me some flour quickly." The dinner plate said angrily. He wiped the sweat while rotating the big steak on the grill, "Oh my god, what is it?" Guests, we need to prepare so much meat.”

"I'm not lazy, but you can carry the flour yourself. I almost dislocated my shoulder trying to boil water." Sparrow replied while washing vegetables.

"Why are you all here? Then who will serve the adults and guests today?"

Scissors was a little confused. She couldn't imagine the scene of a nobleman without servants.

"I will take good care of Mr. Field. As for the guests, well, they will take care of themselves." Asheina appeared out of nowhere. She was wearing a maid outfit and picked up the dinner plate from the table. "I need a bag of flour." Right? It will be delivered to you soon."

As soon as Ashina went out, everyone looked at each other.

"Guests take care of themselves?"

This is too outrageous.

"Your Excellency is worried that we will expose the Chosen One." Kaa, as a knowledgeable person, naturally understands the reason. "Keeping secrets for Your Majesty is the duty of a servant."

"We are very loyal." Maid Scissors pouted.

"Of course, but you must be careful. It is inevitable that there will be those chosen by God who have the ability to read memories, so it is better to be careful." Kaa suddenly thought of something and shuddered. After looking around, he whispered, "Don't you You will understand how weird some of the chosen ones are, and can even turn people into puppets."
