Chapter 37: A Small Banquet
"Father, whose letter is it?" Pine asked curiously when he saw the wax seal on Baron Dias's hand.
"It's your brother's Carl's." Baron Dias said casually.
"Oh? Karl had written, and he didn't seem to have heard much from him since he had been to Sylde Manor, but had heard that he had helped Sir Theodore. Lady Aisha also walked over.
Since coming to the Barony of Wilton, Lady Aisha doesn't have to be busy with household chores or all sorts of chores all day long, at least they can afford to use servants.
"Don't worry." Baron Dias opened the wax print, took out the letterhead, and read it carefully.
"Oh, it seems that your brother is doing well over there, and Sylde Manor is a good place, and Karl said that he has more than two dozen servants, which makes him a little uncomfortable." Baron Dias chuckled, and the first half of the letter was a report of safety, and a brief explanation of the Selder Manor.
"Ha, that's a whole manor, I heard that the manor is warm in winter and cool in summer, I want to live there." Mrs. Aisha also smiled.
"I don't want to go there, the manor is a place for retirement, not for me." Pine was dismissive, but it was a little sour no matter how he listened to it.
"What's down there?" Mrs. Aisha pointed to the following.
"Hmm...... Carl needed a nobleman to be his judge, but he couldn't find a suitable person and wanted us to help him find one. Baron Dias snorted.
"Judge? It's not easy to find......" Lady Aisha frowned slightly, it was difficult to find such a figure among the people they knew.
"Yes, Karl really has a problem for me......" Baron Dias tapped lightly on the table.
"By the way, I suddenly remembered a person who might fit, and maybe it could build a good relationship with the other nobles." Lady Aisha patted her forehead gently.
"Oh? Honey, what are you talking about? Baron Dias asked, confused.
Mrs. Aisha whispered a name in Baron Dias's ear.
"Honey, I didn't think of it, this is really a good choice, and Carl should be satisfied." Baron Dias nodded repeatedly.
"It is a wonderful opportunity to write to Sir Arden now."
"My lord, it's not good!"
At this moment, Baron Dias's newly hired butler hurriedly walked over.
"What's the matter, I said a long time ago not to be so impatient!" Baron Díaz was dissatisfied, which seemed to him very unceremonious.
"Lord Baron, something bad has happened in your territory, and you need to deal with it." The butler took a breath and calmed down.
"Say it." Baron Dias didn't raise his head, and these servants who had not seen the world were like this, always exaggerating small things, so he didn't believe the big things that the other party said.
"Yes...... The problem is from Baron Samu's side! ”
"What? Baron Sach? Baron Dias shook the quill in his hand, and his face showed surprise.
Maybe it's a coincidence, the Barony of Wilton and the Barons of Sa's are very close, although they don't border, but they're about the same, which also makes Baron Dias choke all the time, for fear that the other party will do something.
But nothing has happened so far, which makes Baron Dias relent, and he can't imagine that something will happen in the end.
"How dare Baron Samuel do things? See if I don't clean him up! Pyne looked angry, as if he wanted to swallow the other party alive, although he won that duel, but the other party's embarrassment of his own family still made him have a thorn in his heart.
"Calm down, Pine, let your father handle this first." Lady Aisha put her hand on Pyne's shoulder and shook her head at him.
"Say, what the hell is going on, tell me clearly!"
"Here's the thing......"
……
"You're the judge your father recommended? It's like Sir Arden's nephew, what's your name? Carl looked at the young man in front of him, there was not much expression on his face, as if what was around him did not cause his psychological changes.
The young man, with the help of several bodyguards, traveled all the way to his manor and brought a letter of recommendation from Baron Dias, who was received by Carl.
"Your Excellency, my name is Konstantin." Konstantin saluted respectfully, without superfluous movements, and looked crisp and neat.
"Wo X, Konstantin?" Karl paused for a moment, this was the first time he had spoken dirty words in this world, which was enough to show the shock in his heart.
"What a domineering name...... Carl said silently in his heart, this name symbolized a great emperor in the world before the crossing, although there was no such a great emperor in this world.
Combined with his name, combined with the position he was about to hold, Carl inexplicably felt that he might be doing well......
"Do you know what you're here for?" Karl asked.
"My lord, I know me, I will be your judge and settle your cases for you." Konstantin nodded.
"Well, very good, it seems that you are ready, but, why do you seem to be ......" Carl hesitated for a moment and said, from just now Carl could see that there seemed to be something on the other party's eyes, very heavy, although the other party tried to control it, trying not to show too much expression, but he still found out, after all, a person's eyes can't be hidden, that is the window of the soul.
"No, it's nothing, Lord Sir." Konstantin restrained his emotions and shook his head.
Seeing that the other party was reluctant to speak, Carl didn't ask much, he is not a person who likes to inquire about other people's privacy, since Sir Dias recommended him, naturally the details are innocent, and there will be no problems.
"Okay Konstantin, since you're here too, I'm barely in a good position to get off work, and I've decided to have a small banquet tonight so that everyone can get acquainted with it." Carl made his decision.
"Juliana, we have enough stock for a small banquet, right?" Seemingly a little uneasy, Karl asked his steward again.
"Of course, rest assured, Lord Sir, we have plenty of stock, whether it's meat or wine."
Selder Manor is not as good as those castles, but it is not too bad for banquets.
"Haha, that's good, let's celebrate, I've been busy since I came here to get used to it, so relax by the way." Karl stretched.
……
In Seldeburg, even the night could not completely conceal the candle flames, the eagle banners were lined up on the columns, the maids and servants came and went, jugs of wine, ale, and meat in their hands, and the long tables were soon filled with delicacies.
This time, the banquet was not very crowded, and Carl, Juliana, Berg, Kevin, Allen, and Sylvia were all the people.
It stands to reason that Alan shouldn't appear here, after all, the others are Carl's retinue, and Alan is just a blacksmith hired by Carl, and his identity is completely different, but Carl called Alan for the sake of fun.
Obviously, Alan was flattered by this sudden news, and he was trembling all the time, after all, he was surrounded by big people.
At the innermost part of the long table, Carl sat on his throne, looking at the servants coming and going, he couldn't help but sigh a little, now he can be regarded as a "big man", of course, that is relative, in his previous life, so many people served him unthinkable, but now it is so reasonable.
"Cheers to our territory!" Carl raised his glass and bit hard at our word, and Kevin and the others were also excited, excited by the change of identity.
Sylvia is even more so, at first he wondered if his decision would be wrong, after all, he has been a mercenary for most of his life, but now he no longer has such thoughts, these days he is treated really well, all kinds of food is completely sufficient, the accommodation conditions provided are not bad, of course, the soldiers are not so good, but it is much better than before.
However, now that he has become a regular army under Carl, he will naturally not be as free and lazy as before, and Carl does not want his soldiers to be garbage that will collapse as soon as a battle is fought.
Therefore, after they got used to it, they asked Karl to train them, not to achieve anything, at least a bit like a regular army.
Speaking of Kevin, now Kevin picks up the pork leg in front of him is to bite, in this era, there is not much food, and it is not easy to eat a full meal, and now this kind of life where he can easily eat meat and eat full meat makes him cherish.
Although he decided to follow because of his admiration for Karl, it does not mean that he does not need the guarantee of material life, and sufficient material life is an important factor in maintaining his heart.
Carl was even more happy, wine and ale were drunk into his stomach cup after glass like money, although the wine was not strong, but so many stomachs also made him slightly drunk, and his eyes were a little confused.
Perhaps Konstantin was not so excited, just calmly enjoying the food in front of him, of course, he was also attracted by this kind of life, which was a treatment that he could not have before.
"Oh, Lord Sir, I'm glad I'm loyal to you!" Kevin was a little drunk, and he stood up with a "plop" and said loudly with his wine glass held high.
"Haha, it's my luck to have your allegiance, believe me, I will conquer a larger territory, and we will live in a real castle!" Karl borrowed the spirit of alcohol and unconsciously shouted out some ambition.
As soon as Carl's words came out, the atmosphere at the scene became even more lively, Kevin, Berg, and Sylvia were all flushed, and even Alan was driven by this atmosphere.
It's just that everyone didn't notice it, and Juliana's eyes seemed to flash with a wisp of worry, and a little hesitation, and finally bit her red lip, as if she had decided something.
