"Your Excellency, those newly settled refugees are in dire need of winter clothes!"

"There are so many businessmen in the market, some of them sell clothes again, just take the money to buy them, if they dare to raise prices, just hang themselves. ”

"Your Excellency, the roof of the mill was crushed due to the snowstorm a few days ago, and now there is only one grinding disc that can be used, and the peasants who are ready to grind grain for the winter are lining up to our castle!"

"Just let Radish take a few people to repair it, anyway, he has nothing to do now, and the river is about to freeze, so it's time to close the mill and overhaul it. ”

"Your Excellency, because you saved Barrow IV, Lord Barrow would like to invite you to a dinner to thank you and ask if you can return his heirloom sword......"

"Don't tell him not to be in such a hurry! I still have to recuperate these days, and when I recover, I will come to visit, as for the sword...... When I say it, I'll give it back with my own hands. ”

"Your Excellency, there is ......"

Stannis finally waved his hand impatiently, he had been dealing with the accumulated affairs in the territory all morning, and his ears were calloused for all these trivial things.

"I'm almost hungry!" he touched his stomach in the lord's chair and began to think about what to eat for lunch.

Bachelor Romon still didn't give up, "But Your Excellency, the things that have accumulated in the territory in the past few days have only been dealt with halfway! As a lord, you must solve everything yourself, so that you can get the heartfelt love of the people......"

Stannis pretended not to listen again, and he began to think about the next agenda: first to meet with a few allies of the Eastern Alliance, and by the way, to use the winter break to recruit a group of people into the army, I don't know when Rhodok's side will hear back to him.

He was finally ready to get to the point, interrupting the old man who had been chattering and pretending to ask casually: "I said, old man, you see that now we have money and people, do you want to get something to improve our status?" ”

"Oh?" Master Romon was interested, it had always been his long-cherished wish to expand the Justinian family, and now that the fake lord in front of him had taken the initiative to ask for advancement, of course he was very happy.

But he didn't expect that he had unknowingly jumped into Stannis's trap.

"For example, how about we get a few maids in first? A castle is full of big lords who are weird and boring, after all, it's been a long time since the last maid......"

"Absolutely not! Isn't that maid woman bad enough for you!"

The roar of the old man in front of him startled Stannis, and he didn't think that this old bachelor could scream so loudly as a strong man.

The scenes that led to the defeat of the Justinian family in the past are vivid, all for the sake of the only maid, the real Stannis will leave them, and now the family is slowly improving, and Romon as the chief bachelor of this family will never allow this to happen again.

"Does it matter? I think that the slightly higher-grade families all use beautiful girls to serve the master of the family, and I wonder if a little Justin will be born one day, haven't you been nagging that this family is now thin?"

Stannis's acting talent was really full, and he deliberately said these words to stimulate the old man, so that he could reveal some useful information in a panicked situation.

Maester Romon's shoulders trembled, and the nightmare that had oppressed him seemed to return, "That girl named Sasha, I shouldn't have taken her out of Jelenbe's house, she seduced your heart like a siren, and made you desperate to tear up your engagement with Miss Anist, you know how irresponsible you are to do this! Almost cut off the blood of the Red Dragon Family, how can I go down to the earth to see your father after I die!"

Stannis didn't expect this bachelor to have so much inner drama, and at the end of the story, he obviously didn't tell it to himself, but was fighting against another self in his heart, resenting himself for not stopping him at that time.

But from his long monologue, Stannis gets a lot of important information, especially the fact that Sasha is from Jelumbus, a village he belongs to.

Just when he was about to say more, Robert hurriedly ran in from outside, covered Bachelor Romon and pulled him out, and at the same time kept grinning helplessly at Stannis and said: "Boss, you must not take his words to heart, you know that people like to say some things that are out of tune when they are old, you don't have to take these words to heart, you want to find a beautiful girl to be a maid I raise my hands to support!"

Maester Lomon's frenzied murmurs could be heard from outside the castle when he was dragged out, but Stannis had got what he needed - the woman's origins.

In the afternoon, Stannis appeared in the village of Jelumbus, and of course he was not so stupid, and dressed up in disguise, such as smearing a lot of mud on his face to make himself look like a bum.

Then he asked passers-by one about where Sasha lived, but no one would tell him, as soon as he heard the name, both men and women, old men and women, waved their hands to show that they did not know it, and it seemed that the villagers were afraid to avoid it, but this was the same as the inference that made Stannis sure that the woman had relatives in the village.

Since he knew that the frightened adults couldn't ask, he had to pick on the children, but fortunately he prepared a pour of honey before coming.

Soon, a large group of children gathered around him, and with his image, he looked like a human trafficker who ran to the countryside and walked away.

Tempted by honey, the children rushed to answer his questions.

"Which of you know Sasha?" Stannis asked a simple question first.

"Me!" "Me!" "Me!"

Stannis picks a runny kid to answer his question.

"We all know Sister Sasha, and I heard my father say that she is serving the lord in the castle. She often came back with candy for us to eat, but a year ago, she never came back. ”

The 'traffickers' calculated in their minds that it should be the day the girl died.

"Do you know where she originally lived?" Stannis asked.

All the children you look at me, I look at you, but no one stands up to answer, and it seems that there is no one who does not know.

The lord scratched his head helplessly, "How come? Didn't you say that she often came back to bring you candy?"
