Chapter Seventy-Nine: Gentleness

"Madame! Lord Baron, he's back, and he's been crowned the Champion Knight of the Kingdom Athletic Convention! A maid hurried into Wella's room, and happily told Wella that William had returned and been awarded the title of Champion Knight.

"Really? Where is he? Sitting on the chair in front of the desk, Wei Na, looking at the recent territorial accounts, asked with a happy face.

Although Wella is not officially married to William, she has already taken on the responsibilities of a wife, and it is one of the responsibilities of the mistress to check the ledgers in the manor.

"Your Excellency, he seems to be inspecting the training of the army, and you know, your Excellency, he attaches great importance to the army!" The maid said with some concern.

"That's it!" The disappointment on Wella's face flashed, and then she smiled again, and instructed the maid, "You ask Secretary Tinse to prepare, and I will give him a big surprise when William returns!" ”

Although Wella was a little disappointed that William did not come to see her immediately, she soon figured out that the nobles of this era were all military aristocrats, and only under the protection of the army could they have a comfortable life, and how could a nobleman with great ambition and wisdom like William ignore the army and please his wife.

"Yes, ma'am, then I'll quit first!" The maid saw that Wella had no opinion, and her face showed a small face, and she stepped back to arrange these things, this maid is also a survivor of Comos Manor, of course, I hope that Wella can get along with William.

After the maid went out, Wella got up from the chair and kept walking around the room, her face was full of happy smiles, although she was not married, but the reason for Xiao Biesheng's newlywed was the same, and she missed it very much not seeing William for more than a month.

At this time, William was still following Delseth and several people to inspect the training of the cavalry.

"Banstersk, you can start preparing for the Berserk Guard, and in addition to that, I want to form a heavy infantry unit, about thirty people, and I want you to take on the responsibility of training and commanding."

"Thank you for trusting my master, the Berserk Guards can start training at any time as long as the materials are in place, and as for the heavy infantry, I can also train."

"Well, I'll ask my clerk to take the money to buy these things in a moment, and then tomorrow you can start the selection of these three hundred, the berserk guards and heavy infantry places."

William said, his tone couldn't help but become low, the first month was five thousand silver coins taken out, and in the future, there will be five thousand silver coins per month, with the gradual saturation of the kingdom's war horse market, the price and demand for war horses are still falling, and now William can have 10,000 silver coins in his account every month to make him happy.

In addition to some other expenses, equipment maintenance, war horse breeding, cattle feeding, manor maintenance, etc., etc., William is now at most financially impoverished, and he can save no more than 1,000 silver coins per month.

William had already regretted such a desperate expansion of strength, but there was nothing he could do, and he did want to see what the Berserk Guards were like to train, but it was only limited to seeing.

Until there is an explosive increase in population, productivity, and income in the territory, there will be no expansion of the army in any way for the sake of joining.

It's late autumn now, and winter is getting closer and closer, and although the Kingdom of Tskema is from the southeast of the continent, the bleak autumn wind still brings a lot of chill.

"Okay, let's do this first, you go to the manor to find Vidal, they will arrange a room for you, and I have to leave beforehand!" William said.

"You come with me!" William said to Lingsi, who was standing aside, and the two walked into the manor.

William is very conflicted now, he misses Wella, but he doesn't want to see her so early, although it is common for nobles to find mistresses here, but William just has an inexplicable sense of guilt.

Bringing his lover back in front of his fiancée and putting it in his previous life can be killed, okay, even if it is here, it is quite excessive, at least William thinks so.

"I ...... You know your fiancée, and you will definitely meet her when you go in, you ......" William hesitated, not knowing what to say about this cruel thing.

"I understand, I won't make Madame angry, I'm just an adult's maid!" Lingsi's voice was low, obviously she was in a bad mood, but she still said very familiarly, it was also related to what she learned in the court.

“…………”

William looked at Lingsi, who had low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and was silent for a while, this matter was completely his own fault, and both sides were sorry, a young girl was destroyed like this by herself, but she still had to endure oppression.

The guilt in his heart swelled again, but he couldn't find any way not to hurt the two girls.

William walked into the manor with the thin Lingsi, and was greeted by an old maid from the former Comos Manor, who was now Wella's personal maid.

"Your Excellency, you are back, Madame, she has heard that you are coming back, and has prepared lunch for you inside! This is ......" The old maid chattered to William, and suddenly saw Lingsi behind William with low eyebrows.

"Ahem...... William faked a cough and said, "This is my new personal maid in the royal capital!" ”

"Maid!" The old maid repeated, drawing William's attention, but then she reacted and didn't dwell on it.

"I see, I'll help her arrange a room in a while, there are still a lot of spare rooms in our manor!"

"No need, she just follow me, and I'll arrange a place for her to live in person! I'll go see Wella first! William didn't talk nonsense to her, and walked directly into the manor with Lingsi.

There was a short distance between the walls of the manor and the main castle, guarded by a few guards, and through a small garden, William officially arrived at the main castle of the manor.

Two guards recognized William and hurried to open the door for him.

William walked in the corridors of the main castle, the walls around him were not decorated, and they looked quite plain, although many nobles at this time seemed to be a symbol of poverty, but William never cared about this.

Now he was about to walk to the restaurant, and since Wella had prepared lunch for herself, it must have been in the restaurant.

At this time, William was a little nervous in his heart, he imagined what the scene would be after the two met, and he had a seizure on the spot? Or do you remember to endure the grievances in your heart?

Neither of these things is what William wants, no matter which party is wronged, William doesn't want to see it, for Wella because of love, for Lingsi, it's because of guilt, the only one who is wrong is himself, but he wants the two of them to bear the mistakes they have made.

"Squeak~"

The wooden door of the dining room was pushed open by the guards at the door, and there was a grinding sound.

William walked into the restaurant with Lingsi, only to see a lot of food on the table, Weina looked at William with a smile on her face, but the moment she saw Lingsi, her smile froze a little, but she still greeted her with a slightly stiff smile.

"Brother William, you're back! Do you like to see the lunch I prepared for you? Wella asked with a smile.

"Of course, as long as you prepare it, I like it!" William squeezed out a smile and said.

"Who is this? Our guests? Wella asked softly as she looked at Lingsi.

She ...... She's my new maid! William said hesitantly.

"This ...... That's it! Wella's smile disappeared suddenly, and she looked at little Lingsi, as if she wanted to see what kind of woman would allow William to bring back.

Lingsi showed a low-brow and pleasing posture in the back, and she had not dared to be disrespectful in front of the mistress of the manor, even if she did not do such a thing voluntarily.

William didn't dare to look into Wella's eyes, for fear that there would be a look of blame, sadness, or tears in Wella's eyes.

"Since it's William's personal maid, then you can come in too!" Wella really didn't attack on the spot, but brought the two of them in a slightly stiff voice.

At this time, even the maids and cooks standing in the dining room could feel the embarrassment of the scene, and after eating lunch in a hurry, William arranged a room for Lingsi, and hurried to Weina's room.

"It's you, what's wrong?" Wella lay on the bed and said without looking back.

"Listen to me Wella!"

"Say what?"

"Lingsi He ......"

"Okay, don't say it again, as a nobleman, it's not a big deal to have your own personal maid and mistress, I can understand!"

Although Wei Na said this, her tone was still stiff, although she didn't show Lingsi face to face, but it was not like this in William's face, if William took what she said seriously like this, it would be a fool.

William sat on the edge of the bed, helped Wella up, and rested her head on his chest, although Wella resisted a little at first, but then gradually relaxed, buried her face in William's chest, and then a damp heat came.

William knew that Wella was crying, and he said softly in her ear, "My dear, I didn't mean to find another woman, but I did something wrong!" ”

William told Wella what happened, and although Wella was still in a bad mood after hearing it, she had forgiven William, and at the same time she was not so resistant to Lingsi, which made William feel relieved, if Wella didn't accept Lingsi, it would be really tricky.

"William, you know what? I'm so afraid, I'm so afraid that you will think I don't have it because my father and brother died, and then break off my marriage with me! ”

Wella lay on William's chest, finally unable to control her emotions, and began to cry, during this time her pressure was too great, the death of her father and brother, coupled with the feeling of being under the fence caused by not sure if William really liked her, made her very depressed.

"What do you think?" William put his arm around Wella's shoulders, hugged her tightly in his arms, and said in a slightly reprimanding tone.

"How could I not really like you? Your little head is thinking crankily all day long, and when it comes to winter, that is, a month later, we will officially get married, and you won't worry about it anymore! William said dotingly
