Chapter 57: The Real Life of a Lord

Lear took the piece of paper, looked at it roughly, and smiled wryly.

After breakfast, he had to listen to his staff and assistants report on the recent events in Port Lear, and he had to deal with the affairs that had accumulated since the death of the previous earl, and they were gone in one morning—these were still big things, and there were other things to attend to tomorrow, and it would take at least fifteen mornings to deal with the affairs of the deposit.

At noon he needs to take a nap, and then the Hidden Knight will report to him on those who need to focus on the people, which will take an hour. After that, the assistant would take him on a tour of the aristocratic district, explaining in detail about the district on the way, so that he could understand the local situation - he visited one district every day, and in addition to the aristocratic district, there were six districts: the civilian area, the slum area, the dock area, the commercial area, the new district and the government area.

Because today is the second day of his inauguration, the officials of Port Lear are going to have a dinner party, which he must attend. Tomorrow there will be a dinner for the Third Fleet, the day after tomorrow for the local nobles of Port Lear, and the next day for the great merchants of Port Lear, followed by the ...... of the Customs Department The queue continued down to ten days later.

After attending someone else's dinner, he wants to re-entertain these people, which is similar to a return gift. When the dinner in Port Lear is over, he will also receive invitations from the surrounding lords, and he will invite them later.

After all this, he had to fulfill the dual duties of lord and mayor, and do a lot of activities close to the people—this was the old earl's family motto, and no one could change it.

When the territory is a little more stable, he will go out of the city and visit the villages and towns and manors outside the city one by one. These were the old earl's mottos, and he didn't want to see his offspring become a bastard who only knew how to drink and drink—though he was a bastard more than anyone else in his youth.

Just looking at this list, Lear is going to throw up. He doesn't hate socializing, but he definitely can't accept it. What's more, he still wants revenge, and he must not be entangled in this kind of thing.

He knew that once he was transformed into a qualified lord, it was not far from death.

Lear pondered for a moment and said, "I think that if you don't take revenge on your family, some things can be saved, and you can just pick some important ones for those banquets." ”

Who knew that the butler Kane straightened up and said with a straight face: "My lord, you can leave those trivial matters alone, and you can even not learn about the situation in Port Lear, but no banquet is missing." If you miss even one less banquet, you'll be the target of ridicule from the nobles. You're still young, so even if you pretend, pretend to be a good earl, a good lord, a good master of Port Lear! Otherwise, they won't pay attention to you, even if you did perfectly yesterday. ”

Lear began to have a headache, and finally asked, "How long will it take to have such days without rest every day?"

Kane replied quickly: "Three months." After three months, if nothing major happens, you'll settle down and work for about eight hours a day, with the rest of the time at your disposal. ”

Lear almost didn't vomit blood, thinking that it would be too tragic to cross over to become an office worker before graduating.

Kane saw his displeasure and said with a blank face, "My lord, I admit that you have wisdom far beyond your peers. You should know that if you don't manage Port Lear personally, whatever system is used, the situation may end up out of your control. You can't suppress anyone's **, and you can't even guarantee anyone's loyalty. ”

"Not even you?" asked Lear.

"If you give me too little power, I will be dissatisfied, and if you give me too much power, my heart may be blinded by **, and I will seek a higher status, and even the king will not be able to satisfy me. So, you have to keep the pressure on everybody and let us know what it means to be measured. Kane said with a straight and serious face.

Lear began to think.

"I don't believe in the so-called loyalty of my men. If I were one of those men, a fifteen-year-old boy suddenly appeared, and I would be full of allegiance when my head was caught in the door. There are not many ways to increase the loyalty of my subordinates in a short period of time, and the best case scenario is that I and all my subordinates are besieged by foreign enemies and exhausted, and then I use my might to kill all the incoming enemies, so that I can definitely win the loyalty of my subordinates. ”

"But the current situation is that the foreign enemy is not clear, but I want to take these men to take revenge and send them to death, and those people's original intention is a strange thing. If I am not bound by the contract, I am willing to be a serious aristocratic lord, flirting with maids during the day and hooking up with those noblewomen at night to fulfill my evil side. ”

"It's a pity, the situation doesn't allow it, I want to play like this, maybe one day I will be killed by the power of the plane on a woman's belly, and it will become a scandal after tea and dinner for the masses who don't know the truth, and it will gradually be forgotten. But if I don't learn to be a lord, sooner or later Port Lear will hold me back, and even become a powder keg. ”

He was a little overwhelmed.

After all, he is just a student who has not graduated, although he knows some tricks and will never hesitate to kill him, but he still has certain limitations. Let him take care of a small shop, he is definitely far superior to everyone in the Starry Sky Continent, but for him to govern a country, it will take at least a few decades of exploration.

He felt like he was unlucky.

"Who thinks that when they are in their early twenties, they can govern a city in an orderly manner, and at the same time withstand the suppression of a group of provincial and ministerial officials, and finally kill them, then they don't have to worry about buying a house in the future, and the mental hospital is the final destination. ”

"As the saying goes, stand tall and pee far. In my current situation, not only did I not climb to the height of peeing, but I didn't even pee. "He doesn't have many merits, but at least he is self-aware.

While he was wondering how to hold his pee, the guard at the door ran in and said that old Hans's nephew, Miles, wanted to see him.

"No, he doesn't deserve to drink my pee!" Lear said angrily.

But then the sword suddenly said, "Lear, I urge you to meet him." ”

"You're trying to harm me again?" Lear was in a terrible mood right now.

"You...... There are a lot of people in this immortal world, so I don't care about you!" The sword was very aggrieved, but he also sensed that Lear was in a bad mood, so he held back, "There is an unknown insect egg on his body, and the insect egg contains a huge amount of life energy, at least at the level of a great sword master." Based on the magical knowledge I learned in this world, you can use magic to make a contract with the eggs and take them in. ”

"Can you promise that in the end I will accept it, or not that it will accept me?" Lear firmly disbelieved in such a good thing.

"Hmph......! Grandma is here, even if the eggs are born as a sword saint, what can I do with you!" the sword looked up proudly, but unfortunately Lear couldn't see it.

"I had a bad attitude just now, and I spoke a little impulsively, don't be angry. If this thing is true as you say, I can subdue a powerful monster, and I will believe you in the future! By the way, what is your name?"

"Hmph, don't think I'm so easy to deceive, I'll call me Granny Immortal!"
