They all call me master

The next moment, the curtain of the temporary tent was raised, and Julie, the sword master of Count Nanlos, who was taller than the limit of ordinary people, walked in with a smile.

There was joy in that smile.

There is still a trace of...

strangeness!

Moreover, as soon as he entered the tent, the swordsman looked straight at Arthur lying there.

'Um?

What happened to this guy again? ’

Malinda held her pipe in her mouth and squinted her eyes. After glancing at Arthur, she looked directly behind the swordsman. Under the cover of the swordsman's tall and extremely strong figure, three clad A man in a cloak walked in.

Little Lithorpe!

Even with the cover of her cloak, Malinda confirmed the identity of the leader the moment she saw him.

Why did the other party come to Nanlos?

For a moment, the woman's mind was filled with thoughts.

You know, Nanzhen encountered an incident that could be called a 'disaster' last night.

Lord Leathorpe was assassinated.

Nanzhen was also thrown into chaos.

This morning her spies had described to her in detail that more than 20% of the buildings in Nan Town had been blown up and burned down, and the number of dead miners and residents was initially estimated to be at least 500.

With such a premise, it is impossible for Little Lissop to leave South Town.

Even though little Lissop has no right to inherit the title of Lord Lissop.

However, little Lissop really inherited the coal and iron mine!

In order for the minerals to be mined smoothly in the future, we have to show off.

unless……

Title!

Little Lithorpe inherited the title!

Almost instantly, Malinda guessed the answer.

The little Lissop in front of him exchanged part of the profits from the coal and iron mines for the inheritance of the title... No, it is hereditary!

‘Have you completely fallen in favor of Earl Nanlos?

The old lion will probably glare with anger, right? ’

The lady thought in her heart, with more doubts in her eyes.

After coming to South Los to meet the Earl, Little Lithorpe obtained the hereditary title. This is a normal process, so why did he come to see Arthur?

Under the lady's doubtful gaze, the swordsman of Earl Nanlos spoke -

"Your Excellency, Lord Lissop, I think the next words should be said by you personally. After all, this is related to the future of the Lissop family."

With these words, the sword master stepped aside.

However, the look he looked at Arthur became more and more strange.

Kang Siang, the 'Whale Sword' on the side, also moved his body calmly and gave up the central position of the tent to Arthur and Little Lissop.

Then……

The eyelids of Kang Si'ang, the 'Whale Killing Sword', began to beat rapidly.

Because, little Lisop, who took off his hood, knelt down on one knee in front of Arthur.

"grown ups!"

Addressing Arthur respectfully, Little Lithop's face was full of annoyance, regret and helplessness.

There was even a cry in the young Lord's voice——

"Your several reminders yesterday were all maliciously speculated on by me, but as a result, they caused irreparable losses to Nanzhen, and my father was even assassinated.

After inheriting the Nanzhen Coal and Iron Mine, I was not only frightened but also full of anxiety.

Therefore, I used 20% of the coal and iron ore to pray to the Earl for the hereditary title and territory of Nan Town. I think I need to complete the Nanlos family.

However, I know that my abilities are insufficient, I am too young, and I am too blind and arrogant.

so……

I ask you to manage everything in South Town on your behalf. "

Listening to Little Lissop's words, 'Whale Sword' Kang Siang's head was buzzing.

What's going on?

Why can’t I understand?

Because of inner uneasiness, he exchanged the Nanzhen coal and iron mine for the hereditary rights of Nanzhen, and then, feeling inadequate, gave Nanzhen to Arthur?

This, this, this?

What are you picturing?

Is Arthur your father?

Are you so filial?

Kang Siang, the 'Whale Sword', has never doubted Arthur's strength and ability. From the time he respected Arthur as master, the 'Whale Sword' recognized Arthur.

However, this ‘Whale Sword’ never expected to witness such a thing.

Shouldn't this kind of thing only exist in picture book novels?

Shouldn't it just be a legend?

Eh!

It seems like there really is such a legend!

According to the legend, when the founder of the empire arrived at a certain place, didn't someone come to him with soldiers, food and grass, and prayed to the young man to take him in and give him territory?

But legends are legends, and seeing is believing is fact.

How can this be compared?

‘Master is worthy of being a master! ’

In the end, Kang Siang, the 'Whale Killing Sword', sighed like this, and the look he looked at Arthur was no longer one of sincerity, but one of reverence.

The 'Whale Sword' had an inexplicable feeling that he seemed to have witnessed history.

Malinda's blue eyes flashed with surprise.

when?

When did Arthur gain the allegiance of young Lithorpe?

Moreover, it is not just ordinary loyalty, but die-hard loyalty!

Otherwise, how could little Lithop hand over the territory to Arthur!

Could it be the time when I left last night under the pretext of 'meditation'?

impossible?

One or two hours can turn a person into a die-hard loyalist, even a pride of old lions can't do that, right?

'No wonder Julie has that expression! ’

Malinda thought in her heart, and the tobacco in the pipe burned faster.

Like the swordsman, Malinda also looked at Arthur strangely at this moment.

Under everyone's gaze, Arthur slowly sat up.

The young 'spiritual medium' raised his hand to help little Lissop up, and after gesturing for him to sit next to him, he slowly said -

“Little Lithorpe, I’m grateful for your trust.

But, I am just a ‘psychic medium’.

I'm not good at managing a territory.

Even if you ask me to manage a manor, I will need the help of a professional butler, and I must entrust him with full authority.

otherwise……

It will just be a chaotic mess. "

Arthur's tone was slow and his voice was gentle, which immediately made such words more modest.

However, Malinda curled her lips.

'Hypocritical guy, after saying so much, don't you have to accept it 'reluctantly' in the end?

Humph, I’ve seen through you! ’

The lady hummed inwardly.

In fact, it was just as the lady expected.

"But I want to try."

Hearing such words, the countess's swordsman, the 'Whale Sword' Kang Siang, Little Lisop's guard chief and swordsman Gold, and the hunter chief Lehid were not surprised.

They all thought the same thing as Malinda, that this was how it should be.

but……

I felt a little bit of regret in my heart.

They thought they would see something different in Arthur.

At least, that's what they thought before.

And now?

It was just expected.

Only Little Lissop was different. The young Lord looked at his loving father with burning eyes.

‘If my father manages South Town, will he live in South Town Manor?

If so, that's great!

I can listen to my father’s teachings every day! ’

Thinking in his heart, Little Lissop immediately said——

"You must be fine, you..."

"I?

No no no!

I didn't say it was me! "

Arthur smiled and waved his hand, interrupting Little Lisop's words.

Then, Arthur looked at Malinda, with infinite tenderness and love in his eyes——

"My dear, can you help me manage South Town?"
