Evan and Deloris soon returned to the Lord's Palace, and as soon as they entered, they saw the Count of Morol pacing back and forth in the hall, looking restless.

Seeing that Evan and Deloris were back, with no obvious injuries on their bodies, the Earl of Morlor breathed a sigh of relief and waved for Potter to get out.

"You two will only be able to go out with your guards in the future." Count Morloll said sternly, a picture that was completely non-negotiable. Deloris had the heart to defend herself, but when she saw her father's serious face, she had to sit down obediently.

After a while, the Count of Morloll seemed to be relieved, and then continued, "Potter told me that I was terrified that you had a conflict with others in the market. You have no weapons, no protection, no helpers, how dare you?"

Evan smiled and didn't answer, Count Morloll was always concerned about them for whatever purpose. It's just that Deloris is a little unhappy, she said dissatisfied.

"Father, this is in London. The people of the Chamber of Commerce would dare to be so arrogant, if not more exaggerated in other places, and the sheriff and his men clearly accepted the money from the Chamber of Commerce......

"The Chamber of Commerce itself has money, and it is normal to use it to seek political support. What's more, they have interests with many nobles, and if they were to be wiped out because of this matter, it would definitely arouse everyone's opposition." Count Morlore said angrily.

Deloris turned to look at Aven, hoping she could get a better answer from her fiancé.

Evan thought for a moment before saying, "It's not impossible to do it."

"I knew Evan could." Delores hadn't been happy for long, and Evan poured cold water on it.

"As long as Deloris inherits the countydom."

Count Morloll shook his head, the possibility of Deloris becoming the Earl of Middlesex was lower than the probability of Evan becoming the Earl of Middlesex, and the nobles would not agree.

Although there have been cases of women becoming earls before, there are special circumstances, such as having several sons, it is impossible for their daughters to inherit the territory.

Delores' expression stiffened for a moment, and she said stupidly, "It's better to just say it's impossible."

Ai Wen gently brushed her long hair, but many thoughts turned in his heart, before he came, he was proficient in the Great Evil 2 and the Great Evil 3, what had he not seen?

If you really want Delores to be on top, it's not that you can't achieve it, but you just need to take some risks and use special means. Of course, some bold people must already be thinking about their daughter's daughter or their own daughter.

"By the way, I forgot to get down to business." Count Morlore slapped his forehead and said with some annoyance.

Evan and Deloris looked at him in surprise, waiting for Count Morol to explain.

"His Majesty will be coming to our Earl of Middlesex in the near future, so I hope that Aven, the matter of forming an army that you mentioned earlier should also be started sooner, and it is best to complete it before His Majesty the King comes." Count Morloll chattered.

"What is His Majesty doing here with my father?" Deloris asked, a little strangely.

"It is said that it is because His Majesty the King heard that Middlesex was continuously attacked by the Kingdom of Kent and did not provide timely support, so he felt guilty and came to see the situation." The Count of Morloll hesitated, as if something had not been said.

Guilty, so head to Middlesex to see ...... Ai Wen brushed his face with his hand, this kind of statement would actually come from the mouth of the royal family, who would believe it? If you feel guilty, why do you want to be more direct, give Middlesex some more money and food support, and just say useless official clichés.

"Cut, Father, do you believe it? I think someone must have said something in front of His Majesty, so His Majesty will come in person." Deloris hit the nail on the head.

"According to my friends in the court, His Majesty wants to come and see ......," Count Morloll looked at Aven and stopped talking.

Deloris immediately shouted, "I'm not going to give up Evan to anyone else. Father just explained to His Majesty that it would be fine."

Ha? The muscles on Aiwen's face twitched a little unconsciously, why did he feel like he had become a cargo and was snatched around.

"Don't talk nonsense, Delores. His Majesty has known about your engagement for a long time, so how could he, as a king, meddle in this?" The Count of Morloll was both laughing and crying, but also a little relieved. At least it seems, Deloris and Evan get along well and have deep feelings for each other.

"His Majesty wants to see how Middlesex can use the power of a county to defeat the attack of the Kingdom of Kent?" Evan said with a smile.

"I think that's why. Although the Kingdom of Kent is not a powerful country, it is still a kingdom, and its strength is far greater than that of Middlesex. If Middlesex's experience can be replicated, then the royal family will follow suit. As long as we succeed, then our Kingdom of Essex will have the strength to fight against powerful countries such as Wessex."

Count Morol did not refute either, and acquiesced to Aven's statement.

"Hmph, that's not what I said. His Majesty is here for you, hmph, uneasy. He will surely want to poach you into his court, and when the time comes, he will find a random excuse to marry you the daughter of the royal family." Delores said indignantly.

Ai Wen rolled his eyes when he heard this, good guy, these are three sentences that are inseparable from marriage, right? He angrily tapped Delores on the forehead to tell her not to mess around.

"The Earl is also afraid of this situation, so you want me to train the army as soon as possible so as to distract His Majesty the King." Evan looked at Count Morlor, who hesitated and nodded slightly.

Evan suddenly lost his temper with the father and daughter, but what they were worried about might happen later, and it was indeed a good way to train an army, but it was ......

"I think that hastily reorganizing and training the army is not only ineffective, but also counterproductive. If His Majesty believes it and really goes back to train his army, it will do no good to the kingdom."

Aven's words made Count Morol and Deloris feel a little incredible, this suggestion was made by Aven himself, why is it said that there is no benefit now?

"It takes a lot of money to train the army. The Kingdom of Essex is small and weak, and even if the army is formed, it will not have too many people, and once the elite loses too much, its combat power will plummet and become a meal for neighboring countries. The Kingdom of Kent is the best example of this, so there is no point in training an army without a good commander."

"Wait a minute, Aven, why do I think what you said not only did not highlight the importance of training the army, but instead praised your own ability?" Deloris asked, suspiciously.

Ah, this ...... It sounds like that's what it means. Evan smiled awkwardly, the speaker had no intention of listening, I am afraid that this is what he meant, and then he changed the subject.

"If the Earl is not at ease, then I will start preparing for the army from now on. Larques will go later, I wonder when His Majesty will come to Middlesex?"

"It should be after the autumn harvest. I heard that due to the abnormal weather recently, there have been some problems with the autumn harvest in the royal capital. The quality of the autumn harvest has a direct impact on the situation in the coming year, and His Majesty will not leave the royal capital at this point in time." Count Morol said in a deep voice.

Ai Wen nodded, now that it is almost the end of summer, and the autumn harvest is imminent, His Majesty the King will indeed not leave the palace at this time. It's just that judging from the news fed back by the Count of Morol, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful this year, and I don't know if it will cause famine, I hope not.

"That means we still have two months to prepare, which should be barely enough, so we can try." Ai Wen has some confidence in his heart, the time is not very tight, and he can adjust the training method.

"Well, in that case. The affairs of the army will be left to you. If you need my help, just ask, whether it is soldiers or money and food, I will support you to the greatest extent." The Count of Morol breathed a sigh of relief, and the matter was settled.

"While there's still some time, I'll make some preparations in London now, and then I'll head back to Hull. Delores, do you want to come with me?" Evan looked at Delores with a smirk.

"Go...... Go and go, who is afraid of whom, it's not like I haven't seen Baron Ellus." Deloris inexplicably felt her face burn a little.

"Then I'll let the escort follow you, what will happen to you in the province." Count Morol raised his hand to interrupt Aven, "Don't refuse."

"Yes, at your command." Evan reluctantly agreed.
