In the city of Lezby, which is adjacent to the imperial capital, the city lord's mansion is deserted. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The second prince, Ferdinand, sat at a stone table in the courtyard, laughing and teasing a baby in his arms. Three years ago, the second prince had married a woman, for fear of arousing Robert's suspicion, his marriage partner was only the daughter of an ordinary aristocratic family, and now the baby he was holding in his arms was the boy he had with this girl two years ago.

At this moment, Kelsen walked into the courtyard and couldn't help but stop and sigh when he saw this scene.

Ferdinand looked up, saw Kelsen, didn't say a word, and lowered his head again and began to tease the child he was holding in his arms.

Kelsen walked up to Ferdinand in a few steps, stared at Ferdinand with his eyes fixed on him for a long time, and said, "Is this the end of His Highness's ambition now?"

Ferdinand laughed at himself, but did not stop teasing the child in his hand: "Robert succeeded to the throne smoothly, sent me here, and sent people around the City Lord's Mansion day and night to monitor my every move, what other ambition do you think I have?"

"Your Highness!" Kelsen said: "Although Robert inherited the throne, since he ascended the throne, the empire has been troubled by internal and external troubles, and many ministers who originally supported him have now lost confidence in him and turned their attention to Your Highness!

Ferdinand didn't look up, and said: "Spare me, although Robert hasn't attacked me yet, but his attention to me hasn't diminished for a day! If those people in the imperial capital don't remember me, if they really set their eyes on me, I'm afraid the day of my death will not be far away!"

Kelsen didn't speak for a long time.

Ferdinand raised his head, looked at Kelsen, and said, "When you came back from the south before, it was me who spoke too hard to you, I hope you can forget my gaffe!"

Hearing Ferdinand's words, Kelsen hurriedly said: "What did Your Highness say, since I have been loyal to Your Highness, even if Your Highness lets me die, I will not frown, let alone be scolded by Your Highness!"

It turned out that after Kelsen said goodbye to Stuto and returned to Ledsby that day, he immediately came to see Ferdinand, and told Ferdinand everything about the situation when he met Stuart.

When Ferdinand heard that Kelsen had complained to Situ Jin without authorization, saying that he was not doing well, Ferdinand immediately became furious and scolded Kelsen for not talking too much!

He is now trapped in Razby, no different from a wasted man, he can't do anything, the only thing he can do for Situ Jin's friend, he doesn't want Situ Jin to think that he is using the fact that he is helping Situ Jin pay close attention to his family's situation as a bargaining chip for Situ Jin to help him in the future, so he will lose his temper with Kelsen.

Hearing Kelsen say that he didn't pay attention at all, Ferdinand nodded.

After a moment's hesitation, Kelsen still spoke: "Your Royal Highness, although your royal sister Her Royal Highness Theresia has successfully ascended to the throne of Orlando, and defeated the opposition forces in Orlando in the succession war three years ago, since that war, the opposition forces led by the little princess of Orlando and her husband have retreated to the north of Orlando, and gradually occupied most of the northern area!"

After a pause, Kelsen continued: "In the past few years, there have been wars between the two sides in Orlando, and Her Highness Theresia has no time to take care of Your Highness's situation now! At this time, Your Highness, you should also seek a little means to protect yourself! Looking at the country, except for Baron Situ, Your Highness, I am afraid that there is no better candidate for you!"

Ferdinand was stunned for a while, and then sighed: "That's what I said, but Situ is in a bad situation now, so why should I be strong!"

After saying that, Ferdinand said: "Situ is a smart man, if he really wants to help me, even if I don't say anything, he will help me! And, Kelsen, you have to understand that I chose to help Situ completely from the position of a friend!"

After all the preparations were on track, the construction of the city was finally in full swing under the command of Lu Wei!

In order not to damage some of the resources that have been discovered on the island, Lu Wei arranged for people to fence off these areas with tree fences in advance, including a tea tree area discovered by Situ Jin before, which was also protected.

Unconsciously, more than a month has passed, because there is a huge and professional construction team led by Lu Wei in charge of the construction of the city, plus the funds and various construction materials are in a timely supply, so the construction work is carried out very smoothly, although there is only a month, but the construction of the main city has been almost completed by one-third.

On this day, Lu Wei came to Situ Jin and said that he would invite Situ Jin to a certain place.

Situ Jin followed Lu Wei for more than an hour, and climbed to the top of a mountain in the main city, as far as the eye could see, the top of the mountain was open, and there was a large freshwater lake on the mountain, the lake water was blue and clear, shining in the sunlight.

Situ Jin was surprised and praised from the bottom of his heart: "I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful place on the island!"

Lu Wei smiled: "That's right, this is indeed a rare good place, the mountains and rivers are good, and the location is good!"

After speaking, Lu Wei looked at Situ Jin and said, "Lord Baron, I plan to build your future mansion here!"

"En?" Situ Jin was slightly stunned: "You mean to build my mansion on this mountain?"

Lu Wei nodded: "Yes, Lord Baron, this place is big enough, and the view is wide enough, standing here, you can have an unobstructed view of the city, I don't think there is anyone on the whole island who is more suitable to live here except you!"

Situ Jin shook his head and said: "The area on this mountain is almost the size of half a city, how can I live in such a big place by myself!? After the city is built, I can choose a residence everywhere!"

Lu Wei resolutely said: "Lord Baron, I don't recommend you to do this! As the master of this island, you must maintain your due authority in all aspects! You must know that your residence will not only represent your face alone, but also the face of the entire island of Erland, so please listen to my advice in this matter!"

After speaking, Lu Wei suddenly took out an architectural drawing from his arms, handed it to Situ Jin, and said: "Lord Baron, this is the design I drew for your future mansion, and the reason why I invite you here today is to let you see if you are still dissatisfied with my design plan!"

Hearing Lu Wei's words, Situ Jin couldn't help but laugh and cry: "Lu Wei, Lu Wei, you have even drawn the design drawings, it seems that you have made up your mind about this matter!"
