Lord of the Continent [Western Fantasy]

Xi Xiumi said to himself: "After I have finished my breakfast and processed all the documents, I will go to the Xinghe Avenue Business Park and apply not to attend the blind date party in the afternoon."

The old butler sighed in his heart. He knew that his little Earl had not yet thought of starting a family. As a qualified assistant and nanny, he naturally couldn't mention this matter repeatedly, so as not to affect the little master's mood.

"Then I won't disturb your meal." The old gentleman said politely, "I still need to supervise the tree repairs in the backyard."

Xixiumi hummed, indicating permission, and the old housekeeper turned and left.

Seeing the old man walk away step by step, Xi Xiumi tidied up the folds of his gorgeous and expensive clothes, heaved a sigh of relief, and walked towards the long dining table.

Today's breakfast was as usual, very delicate, and very appetizing for Xixiumi. It may be because he was the only one eating. Although the chef prepared a variety of delicacies, the portions were pitifully small, which caused him to be a little hungry.

But Xihumi didn't say anything, otherwise the poor chef might be in trouble.

Rubbing his flat belly without any image, the young earl walked towards the study, which was the only area in the manor where he could work, and it was once the favorite place of his original father.

Along the way, I met maids cleaning the manor and knights patrolling the guards. When I saw the knights wearing heavy armor but walking with ease, Xixiumi couldn't help sighing in his heart: When I can exercise myself to this state, it will be great. There is no need to be tired and panting after climbing so many floors.

Aristocrats are good at everything, and the status of an earl is also very fragrant, but they are too spoiled and spoiled, and their physical fitness is not as good as these maids in charge of cleaning.

Opening the door of the study, Xixiumi sat on a chair covered with comfortable fur, picked up a fountain pen inlaid with precious gemstones, and wrote and drew seriously. He needed to check the flow of the store under his name, the safety of personnel, and deal with business changes and other approvals.

With regard to the current income from all assets, Xixiumi quickly browsed through: [-] shops, [-] auction houses, plus miscellaneous wineries, after deducting all costs and maintenance costs of the manor, he can make a net profit of [-] gold coins a day .

Ah, very good!

Collecting [-] gold coins a day gave Xi Xiumi a great sense of security. Although money is not everything, he still understands the truth that without money, nothing is impossible.

For now, even if all the shops are closed, the remaining assets can provide him with ample income. If he saves money, he should be able to support him until the day he dies of old age.

Xi Xiumi continued to deal with the thick documents in front of him, which would take him at least two hours, and it was considered efficient, but he was still willing to stay in the study to do these things.

According to the aristocratic system of Itenity, the count who is about to grow up has only two choices: either honestly attend the blind date party and enter the marriage hall as soon as possible; or inherit part of the family business under the name of his parents, go out independently, and create his own Fantiandi, and can't shame the nobles and teach the king to worry.

He doesn't want to contribute to the population of Itenity early, so he might as well squat in the study every day!

After finally finishing everything, Xi Xiumi stretched his waist and told the guards at the door of the study to arrange for the driver to go to Xinghe Avenue. He had to deal with the matter of the blind date meeting in the afternoon before noon, so as not to make any mistakes.

"Go and tell the butler that I'm going to Xinghe Avenue to apply now." Xixiumi said, "For knights, only one is enough."

Xi Xiumi himself was very troubled by the earl's travel process. He didn't want to bring a few knights in armor and appear in the central area near the palace with great fanfare.

That's too ostentatious, Xi Xiumi thought.

After listening to Xi Xiumi's request, the guard blinked his eyes and said in embarrassment: "But my lord, it is not safe for you to take only one knight out. The civilians outside are not as polite as the people in the manor. They may Make things difficult for you."

Although the earl is only the third rank among the nobility, his young master is a hereditary earl. This kind of earl title is extremely honorable in Itenity. How can he travel with only one knight?What a sight!

Xixiumi only felt that his guard was a bit paranoid about being persecuted, and the outside world was not as dangerous as he said, and besides being curious and concerned, how could civilians make things difficult for a nobleman?

But seeing his serious face, Xi Xiumi didn't want to embarrass this loyal guard, so he sighed and compromised: "Then... take two of you."

"Lord Earl!" The guard said with a sad face, "If the steward knows that you only take two knights with you, I will be fined to clean the horse toilet."

In this manor, the daily cleaning of the horse toilets is undertaken by the slaves, which are dirty, tiring, and full of strong "scent". However, if the knights and guards make mistakes, they will be punished by the strict old housekeeper and sent to Working in the horse toilet for a week, he didn't want to go there to experience it.

Xixiumi had no choice but to give in again, saying: "Well, there are at most three knights, if there are more, I will talk to the steward myself about this matter."

"But..." Just as the guard wanted to continue to sell miserably, Xi Xiumi immediately interrupted: "That's it, I will only take three knights and the coachman to Xinghe Avenue, and if you talk too much, I will beat you."

Hearing the last sentence, the guard knew that he had finally tested the limit of the little master, so he shut up wisely.Of course, he understood that Xi Xiumi was just joking, his family's Earl is the best person in the world, how could he beat him?

"Okay Earl." The guard said happily, "I'll help you inform the knights and the coachman." Saying this, he saluted the guards at Xixiu Mi, turned and ran away.

Looking at the figure of the guard going away, Xi Xiumi squinted his eyes, recalling his rhetoric and the expression he switched freely for a moment, a little aftertaste: Did he just get tricked by the guard?

Just as he was pondering over there, the guards who had left came back, bringing a large group of macho knights with them, and marched in front of Xixiumi, stopped, and lined up in a well-trained order.

The guard pointed to several armored warriors behind him, and said seriously: "Master Earl, the knights want to protect you to Xinghe Avenue, do you want to choose a few more and take them out?"

The corner of Xixiumi's mouth twitched, and he raised his forehead and said, "The first three from the right in the first row, come with me, and the rest go back to the backyard and continue training."

Thus, the unselected knights left, and the three remaining knights put their right hands on their chests, pressed their left hands on their right knees, knelt down on one knee, and performed standard knight etiquette towards Xixiumi, saying in unison: "It's an honor to protect you, Lord Earl!"

Xi Xiumi's head was full of black lines, and he wondered if he should be so exaggerated, just for a trip, as for the knight's allegiance salute to me?

However, time was running out, and he had no time to worry about these, so he took three macho knights, took a carriage, and headed for the Xinghe Commercial City.

He thought about rushing to Xinghe Avenue as soon as possible to complete the application procedures, and it would be best to make it a long-term valid one, so that he would not have to go to such blind date parties in the future, so he would feel comfortable thinking about it.
