But the idea of paying back the money was quickly rejected by him.

"Hahahaha! you want me to pay it back, unless you put a sword around my neck!" Stannis almost laughed, it was natural for me to not pay back the money.

Then he assigned Romon to say, "Old man, go to the market and buy me 100 gold coins worth of gems, and attach them to a richly made jewelry box." ”

"One...... A hundred gold coins of gems!" Robert suspected that something was wrong with his ears, he had never seen Stannis spend so much money on his fiancée, "Boss, you are crazy to spend so much money on a woman!

Stannis glanced at him disdainfully, "Turtle, rare and strange! This is the time to spend money, and I want to fill up my diplomatic relations with the Flod family." ”

Although he also admits that it hurts to spend so much money, he also knows that this kind of occasion is the moment when he can best get acquainted with the relationship between himself and his father-in-law's family, and at the same time, he has to spend money to make Anne love him even more, so as not to be swept away by the little white face that came out of nowhere.

Maester Romon also knew how important it was to give expensive gifts at birthday parties, and without any objection, he took the key to open the vault and took out a large bag of gold to buy gems in the market.

Soon, a box full of brilliant gems appeared in front of Stannis, blue, red, and green gems mixed together like the stars in the sky, and he grabbed a handful and felt the arrogance of the earth rush over him, and finally knew that women would be crazy about these carbon crystals.

After the gifts are prepared, Stannis has to dress himself up carefully.

He took out a fine garment from his garment, the only aristocratic garment in his castle that could be worn out for formal occasions. Due to poor storage, a hole was bitten out of the armpit of the garment by a rat......

As for why he didn't have other spare high-end clothes, the reason was simple, because he couldn't afford them......

A complete outfit of the middle and high nobles of Upper Erathia, along with boots and cufflinks, costs 120 gold coins, which is still the price of a first- or second-rate tailor's cut, and the price of a master's level is doubled......

And he can't reprocess his own clothes, and the reason why he can't fill those two holes is that the aunt's craft in his territory is only to reprocess rags into rags, so building a tailor shop is also a logical item for the construction of his territory.

But at the moment, Stannis had to try his best not to raise his hand to show timidity, and after the preparation, Stannis prepared to go to Baili City alone.

"Boss, are you going to leave me behind?" said Robert, too, who seemed to want to eat and drink, even though his fine suit had already been sold by himself to pay off his debts.

"Any comments?" the lord didn't want to take him out anymore to be embarrassed.

"Damn, you don't even bring a chamberlain to this kind of large-scale banquet, will it be a bit unattended, I'm here to save face for you!" His younger brother was ostensibly thinking about him, but anyone with a discerning eye could see his true purpose.

Among them, of course, was his boss, who knew he was unhappy, so he began to feed the carrots, "You think I'm keeping you, I'm not uncomfortable!

Robert didn't expect him to make himself the acting lord, and immediately shouted excitedly, "Boss, I didn't expect you to entrust me with a heavy responsibility......! I am so touched that you value me so much!

But Stannis didn't think so, for he couldn't find anyone to press onto the lord's throne. Maester Romon is guarding the mill, Korodov is taking care of the tavern, Kanye is in charge of the barracks, and Speer is going to inspect the roads, there are too few NPCs under his command, if it weren't for the strong prejudice against women in this world, he really wanted to bring that clever maid Hypatia over as a acting lord instead of giving it to Robert, because this guy is too unreliable.

Sure enough, Robert, who had just become the acting lord of the city, began to excitedly want to exercise his power.

"Boss, since I'm now an acting lord, can I use the vault at will?"

"Impossible. ”

"Then can I lead the army out to shake off my prestige?"

"Absolutely not. ”

"Then I can go to the White Sleep sisters without paying?"

"It's beautiful. ”

"Then what's the point of being a proxy lord for me!" Robert finally realized that he was a complete puppet.

"You just have to deal with the trivial things between those hillbillies, and I'll talk about the rest when I get back!"

With that, Stannis paid no attention to Robert's crying and mounted his horse and galloped west.
