Chapter 4: My Sister's Red Rose
Searching for the housekeeper's call, Alan found the housekeeper who was looking for him.
"What's going on?" Alan had never seen a butler so flustered, and asked curiously.
"Someone invaded the territory?" Alan suddenly thought.
"No, no...... Nope"
Alan was not talking, waiting for the butler's next step.
The housekeeper calmed down his emotions and then replied, "Young master, Miss Erin is looking for you......"
Erin Charles, Alan's half-sister.
This morning, Mrs. Lisa and the others returned to the castle, and Irene returned, but they had rested on the second floor of the castle after their journey, so Alan had not yet met them.
Alan continued to wait for the following, without speaking. Seeing that Alan was looking at him, the housekeeper could only stubbornly continue.
"Probably...... Not a good thing, since Miss Irene can't find you and has gone to your bedroom. ”
"I listen to Miss Erin...... Young master, did you pluck some of Miss Irene's flowers? The housekeeper said with a bitter face.
When people are excited, it is easy to ignore some important things.
For example, Allen, who has just reacted now.
He was bent on planting the flame wheat in a hidden place, but he forgot about his sister.
The rose field is the lifeblood of her sister, a total of about 5 acres of flower fields, all of which she saved bit by bit with the pocket money given by the family.
Each member of the Charles family has a fixed pocket money each month, even Ellen's seven-year-old sister Elisa, but it is all kept by her mother, Mrs. Lisa.
Alan is also a poor person, and the money is used to buy things for cultivation.
Now that he didn't ask her opinion, he pulled out an acre of flower fields, and Alan estimated that Erin now has the heart to find herself desperately.
He is now in a dilemma, knowing that he can't avoid it for the rest of his life, so he can only bear the anger honestly.
"Butler Carey, let's go, go and see. ”
"Master Allen, I haven't accounted for this month's account book yet, so I won't accompany you. The butler said with a smile.
“...... That...... There you go. Allen's face was embarrassed.
Originally, Alan also wanted to bring the housekeeper on to avoid being scolded too badly.
The housekeeper has been on errands in the Charles family for most of his life, and he is now all the elders of the Charles family.
Alan hoped that Erin might not scold him too badly for the sake of Kerry's butler's face, but unfortunately he was recognized.
It took about three times longer than usual for Alan to make his way to the bedroom door.
The jujube door had been opened, and a young girl was glaring at her with a pair of angry eyes, her little face flushed, and her hands were clutching her fluffy aristocratic skirt.
He has the same blonde hair as Allen, and two sapphire-like eyes, which are different from Allen's black eyes.
Erin's blonde hair and eyes come from their father, the former baron, unlike Ellen's blonde hair and dark eyes from her mother.
Alan and Erin's mother are rare black eyes.
Just like the twins born to Mrs. Lisa, the ten-year-old brothers Abel and Aite inherited Mrs. Lisa's reddish-brown hair and gray eyes, and the later born Elisa was indeed blonde and blue-eyed.
This is his sister, and the etiquette of the nobles is not allowed to scold and beat people, Alan said in his heart.
The situation was very unoptimistic, and he looked at his sister who was staring at him and did not speak.
looked at Belea, who was snickering behind Erin's back with her head down, and didn't speak, Alan was angry, because she was so good to her, Erin rebelled as soon as she came back, and she didn't know how to help him speak.
"Sister...... Sister, don't be angry...... Alas...... Can you listen to me......" Hearing Alan's words, Erin's brow that had just been put down furrowed again.
"Does Eren not want me as a sister anymore and wants to drive me away......"
"How could it be! It's a misunderstanding, I didn't mean that. Allen looked at Erin, whose face changed abruptly, and hurriedly explained.
"Listen to me first, here's how it goes......" said Ellen to tell his sister Erin about the fact that he had gotten the Flame Microphone.
Looking at the girl with a soothing face, Alan breathed a sigh of relief.
"What about my flower field? I'm going to attend the ball hosted by Baroness Kito, and I promise to provide roses for the whole ball. Erin said.
Looking at Erin, who began to trivialize, Alan had a headache, and if the ball could use up an acre of roses, it would be a very large ball.
What's more, it's just a barony leading a ball, and I don't know how big it can be. There are certainly enough four acres of flower fields left.
But who let him be at fault in the first place?
"Sister, it's my fault this time. You see that next time I will buy a rose variety for you as an apology, you see how it is, red roses are only the most common variety. ”
"I want the Green Elf, the Frost Rose, the Blessing of Eros, and ......," said Erin.
"Stop...... Just one, green goblin, don't pull it down. ”
"Okay!"
Like a frost rose, the blessing of the god of love, Alan has never heard of it.
Green Fairy Alan has heard that a very rare kind of green rose is also very difficult to raise.
As far as Alan knew, the green goblin had only appeared at an auction in the marquisate, and was auctioned off by the marquise at the time, but because it was too delicate, it was raised to death by a flower farmer. Of course, the fate of the florist can be imagined.
Although he knew that the green goblin was rare, Alan was not in a hurry, just look for it slowly, and Erin didn't set a time anyway.
Erin, who received Alan's reply, walked out with a smile on her face.
After watching Erin walk out, Alan went to the study, and now that he got the Flame Mai, the advanced knight is a matter of course.
Alan knew that when he became a baron, he would not only have to bear the burden of the entire Charles family, but also be responsible for the people of the territory.
I also have some basic understanding of the situation of the territory, and now we have to start to make some reforms to the territory.
Only when the economic strength and military strength are strengthened together can the territory develop and grow steadily and rapidly......
The bell of lunch woke Alan up, and today was the first family dinner after Alan became the Baron of the Green Wilderness. Packing up his clothes, Alan made his way to the castle hall.
The rest of the team had arrived, and with Alan's arrival, the meal was officially opened.
To Allen's right was Lady Lisa, a woman with a slightly tired face, large gray eyes, and curly reddish-brown hair.
"Alan, it's great that you're okay. After knowing that you were unconscious, I was worried that it was broken. Mrs. Lisa looked at Alan worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. ”
"You've been through so much in the past two days, you should have rested a lot. Alan said, looking at Lady Lisa's pale face.
After lunch, Alan deliberately left Mrs. Lisa behind.
"I have some things I want to communicate with you, and I intend to take care of all the daily life of the castle to you. ”
"Butler Nakerry......" asked Mrs. Lisa, holding back her joy, worriedly.
"Butler Carey will have an important position waiting for him, don't worry, I have already communicated with Butler Carey. ”
Originally, Mrs. Lisa was only in charge of the affairs of the castle ladies, and other things, including the castle ledgers, were managed by Carey.
Now Alan is going to divide the taxes of the territory and the expenses of the castle, and the taxes of each territory will be managed by the finance office that Alan is going to set up, and the Steward of Carey will also be divided into the finance office.
The source of the Charles family's financial resources is that the Treasury allocates a certain amount of money to Madame Lisa every year for the management, and several small estates in the barony are also included. That's enough money to cover the castle.
Alan told Mrs. Lisa what she thought.
Alan wants to use all the money in the territory for the development of the territory as much as possible. This is also the reason why Alan did not say how to use the wealth created by his miraculous plants.
Eren intends to use all the fruits of the Flame Mai for the territorial army.
