Chapter Seventy-One: Convergence
"Lord Baron, why do we let those untouchables enter the court as maids-in-waiting? It stands to reason that they do not have any qualifications. "On a manor in Winterburg, Elvet asks Baron Thórse.
"Eligibility? Didn't you think that the blacksmith's daughter entered the court and became a maid, they were all lowly pariahs, so what was the difference? Baron Thór's eyes were slightly open.
"But...... This is different, those untouchables were all villains before this, or they were lawbreakers, and I even doubt that they would be members of the Guild of Villains, how could such filthy guys enter the palace? Elvet argued that not long ago, Baron Thor asked him to arrange for a few maids to enter the court to become one of the members of the maids serving the Earl of Lens, but Charles did not refuse, or he did not know at all, after all, there were too many maids in the castle, and arranging for one or two to enter was nothing, and no one would notice.
"Heh, Elvette, are you questioning my actions?" Baron Thór's face darkened, and a dangerous gaze wandered in his eyes.
"No, no, no, I didn't mean that, I'm always firm in your choice." Elvette quickly lowered his head, he felt a little scared.
"Don't be nervous about Elvette, I'm not blaming you." Baron Tórse's face changed, and he regained his pleasant appearance.
"You don't need to know why I let them into the court, I just ask you if you have taken care of this matter."
"Rest assured, Lord Earl, no one will know about the two more maids, and those maids will not even be able to recognize some of the maids in other positions, and they will not have any suspicions." If you look at the ability to do things, Ivit is absolutely top-notch, if you look at everything else.
"Very good Elvette my butler, you are really my left arm and right arm." Baron Thórse was satisfied.
"Lord Baron."
Just then, a man who looked like a monk walked in, still holding a piece of parchment.
"My dear Brother Nat, have I done the task I have given you?" Baron Thórse couldn't help but smile when he saw the visitor's face.
"Of course, my noble baron, this is the document you want." Brother Nat smiled as well, and handed the parchment in his hand to Baron Thors.
"I can't wait." Baron Thórse took the document and looked at it little by little.
After a while, Baron Thor put the parchment back in place, and it was evident that he was satisfied.
"Very good, Brother Nat, this thing will come in handy, you are really my best friend."
"I hope you don't forget the promise we made." Brother Nat was unmoved by Baron Tórse's overtures.
Baron Thor was stunned, and a little annoyance flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up, he didn't want to be an enemy of the church.
"Of course, Brother Nat, I have never forgotten the agreement between us, and I will definitely repay your help with a rich land." Suppressing the anger in his heart, Baron Thor assured once again.
"That couldn't be better." Brother Nat nodded.
Elvette was beating the drums in his heart, and he didn't know what Baron Thors had secretly done, and he actually got involved with the monks.
Sunshine found the document that had been put aside through the page, and seemed to be able to vaguely see what the county ...... Inherit...... The words.
……
"Lord Sir, our personnel have been arranged."
The current Karl is not the second son of Sir Dias who just came out of Black Thorn Village, and at that time, including Sir Dias, who is now Baron Dias, he was too poor to open the pot.
Now he is too rich no matter how much he says, and this time he still has to go to the court of the Earl of Charles as a military minister, if he has nothing to prepare, it will really be ridiculous and generous.
Sometimes, although it has no practical effect, it is an indispensable thing.
Maids, maids, servants, personal guards, and Kevin, who exists as a knight of the Inner Palace, are all indispensable configurations, so that dozens of people have gathered in total, plus the Thorn Corps that exists as a guard, this number is really a lot.
"Very good, we will go to Winterburg in a few days, calculate the time, my father, Baron Dias, they should arrive in about time." Carl nodded.
He planned to wait until Baron Dias arrived at the rendezvous before going to Winterburg together, and this was also exchanged letters with Baron Dias, after all, Baron Dias also needed to go to Winterburg to swear allegiance to Count Charles, so he needed a place to resupply on the way, and it was no surprise that Sylde Manor was a good place.
And when the two sides gather together, not to say anything, just to say that the row will look much better, and at the same time, it can also let others see the cohesion of the Dias family, and increase the influence of the Dias family among the vassals under the Earl of Charles, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.
Only the next day, Baron Dias's attendants came to the Sylde Manor and reported to Carl the progress of Baron Dias's procession, and another day later, Baron Dias and his party, who had traveled thousands of miles, saw this rich manor.
"This beautiful manor is my youngest son's domain, it's a nice place."
Lady Aisha didn't have to come here, but she followed the group so that she could stop by to see her son, and of course she would not end up going to Winterburg, but would stay at Sild Manor.
Rather than Madame Aisha's observation of the flowers and plants, Baron Dias cared more about the peasants.
"Pine, this place may be richer than we think." Baron Dias said with a sigh.
"I don't think there's any difference, huh?" Pine still looks heartless, after all, he doesn't care about his surroundings.
"Pine, you have to learn to pay attention to things, look at the peasants here, I don't see much hunger in them, at least not that kind of starvation and death, which is very rare." Baron Dias lectured.
"It's just a pariah, so why feed so much? Their value is to provide for us. Pine didn't care.
Baron Dias was speechless, but Pyne was telling the truth, which he couldn't refute.
"There's a squad of cavalry approaching us!"
Baron Dias spotted a large group of cavalry not far away, which was too conspicuous after all.
"Cavalry? Could it be Flo? I've heard that Karl's realm is often raided by the Flos, but he was repulsed by Karl. Mrs. Aisha guessed.
"No, they're flagging, I'll see...... That's the eagle flag on a blue background, it's Carl's flag! Pyne was a young man after all, and his eyes had to be better, and he quickly saw the pattern on the banner clearly.
"It turned out to be Carl's army, and it seems that Carl asked someone to meet us." Baron Dias breathed a sigh of relief, after all, he didn't have much army with him, and if he really ran into the Flo who came to raid, he would probably be in trouble.
"Boom Boom Boom ......"
The two groups of teams soon approached, and Baron Dias and his party were able to see the faces of the people who came.
"It's Kevin, and the other is ...... Sylvien, who helped us in the war last time, heard that Kevin is now the military director under Carl. Pine recalled.
"Pine, don't let others think you're rude, you have to remember the etiquette of knights, Sir Kevin and Sir Sylvia have already been knighted by Karl, you must be worthy of knighthood!" Baron Sylde rebuked.
He has adhered to the etiquette of a knight all his life, doing what a knight should do, and naturally demands this from his heir.
"It's amazing that Carl can afford to raise two knights of the Inner Palace." Lady Aisha was surprised.
Baron Dias nodded, this is indeed a lot of financial resources, after all, Carl himself has to raise three knights, and the knight is not equipped with a set of equipment, he also needs long-term maintenance, the maintenance of armor, the feeding of war horses, and the servant of knights...... Each of these requires a lot of money in the long run.
"This territory is really developing well." Baron Dias sighed again, after all, he knew that if he only relied on the previous Sylde Manor, he would not be able to afford such a military force, after all, he also knew that Karl still had a group of troops to raise.
"Lord Baron, we have come to meet you on the orders of Lord Carr." Kevin and Sylvia dismounted and greeted a few of them, as did the dozen or so cavalrymen behind them, only in a more humble manner.
"I'm sorry for you." Baron Dias nodded, but his gaze remained on the cavalry behind them.
"Madame, it has been cold lately, and Lord Sir is afraid that you will catch a cold, so I have brought you this mink coat." Sylvia took out a small box and handed it to Lady Aisha.
Lady Aisha opened the box, and was fascinated by the clothes inside, the thick and soft mink fur would definitely be very comfortable if it could be worn on the body!
"Hmm...... It's so warm and Carl is so sweet. Lady Aisha said excitedly, wrapping herself in her mink coat.
"Then let's go."
Sylvia and the cavalry whistled around the convoy as guides and escorts, while Kevin followed the door, the gleaming chain mail making them feel safe.
Mrs. Aisha was delighted in her heart, who would have thought that the second son of a knight with no background who might even be sent to a convent or work his own has now become a nobleman with a large number of servants and a rich life, although Baron Dias is much more prominent than Karl in terms of title, but in terms of life, Baron Dias has been left behind by his youngest son.
