Carl is not a fool, on the contrary, he should be regarded as a sharp person, Juliana said this, Carl's mind immediately recalled those small fragments, every time Frederick said this, Princess Natalie seemed to walk away with a red face, only faintly...... Take a look at him?

"What do you mean......" Carl breathed a little harder, and he looked at the necklace in his hand with an incredulous expression.

"Lord Earl, it is impossible for a woman to explain her thoughts directly." Juliana smiled a little when she saw that Carl understood.

"I see." Carl nodded, but his brow furrowed slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"In that case, then I'll step back first." Juliana left the bedroom, and calm returned to the bedroom.

Baron Dias had realized something between their conversations and looked at Karl thoughtfully.

"Carl, maybe you should take this necklace and meet Princess Natalie in person." Lady Aisha said that at this time she was in a state of great joy, how could she not hear something that even Baron Dias could hear, that princess was obsessed with Karl!

Oh my God, the thought of marrying the daughter of a duke's family made her tremble, if the Dias family could really marry the Rizranburg family, then their nobility would be recognized by everyone!

What's more, this kind of marriage is likely to be actively willing by the other party.

Carl took a breath, his expression was complicated, and he just shook his head slowly.

"What's wrong? Don't you like that princess? ”

"No, it's not, and I don't know if I like Her Royal Highness Princess Natalie." Carl shook his head, he really didn't know what he was doing, after all, during that time, he spent more energy on how to entertain this princess, who would care about men and women.

But in all fairness, this princess is indeed a kind and beautiful princess, in a popular phrase, there is no princess disease! Such a princess is already very good in this era, as for the rest? He wasn't impressed.

"You should meet you anyway." Baron Dias also agreed with Mrs. Aisha.

"Perhaps, but not for a short time, I won't even be able to leave my castle for a short time." Carl shook his head again.

"The Grand Chief of Fort Carmel has always been eyeing my territory, he will not let me occupy it like this, I estimate that it will not be long before war breaks out in my castle again!" Karl said in a deep voice, his situation was not as safe as it seemed to outsiders, and he was even in a very dangerous situation.

"War? No......" Lady Aisha hesitated, she didn't know much about this, but she was subconsciously worried when she heard about the war.

"No, Karl's worries are normal, although I don't know what kind of person the Grand Chief of Fort Carmel is, but if it were me, I would not tolerate the leadership of my title being occupied by heretics, and I would take him back if I tried my best!" Baron Dias also frowned, he had never fought with the Flos, but he also knew what kind of people the Flos were by hearsay, and he would not take it lightly.

"This ...... So what to do? "Lady Aisha was a little scared, after all, this was definitely not a conscription of a dozen people like the previous Black Thorn Village.

"Hahaha, don't worry about my mother, I, Count Dortmund, am not something that wolf cub can bite off, if he really bites me, I will definitely make him burst his teeth!" Carl said viciously, his voice a little cold, making the people around him shiver.

Only then did Baron Dias and the others react, this was not the child who stayed in Black Thorn Village before, this was an earl who fought and won in the land of the Flo people!

Karl could have waged a war of thousands of men if he wanted to, and he was more than capable of doing so after taking initial control of Dortmund.

"Besides, you should know that I have made an alliance with the chief of Fort Norma, although the heretic is not credible, but at least for the time being, he does not dare to break the covenant, we have enough strength to entangle with Lopul, he is not the fox of the old chief of Fort Carmel." Carl added.

Karl's conversion to the Holy Religion by the chief of Fort Norma has long been known, after all, even the Duke of Rizlan knows about it, which can prove that it has spread widely, of course, it has the credit of Brother Derian.

Even Archbishop Sandri was pleased to decide to give him twenty knights as support.

Twenty knights were no longer a small force, and Karl gladly accepted it.

"Well, since you already have a plan, then we can rest assured." Baron Dias was very pleased with his second son's old scheming, generally young and vigorous, self-indulgent and domineering, with such an achievement, he had long been proud and complacent, how could he be on the battlefield in order to be fully prepared in the future, and hit the enemy on the battlefield.

"How about you pick out some of the gifts here and take them with you? I shouldn't need it here. Karl pointed to the room full of gifts, and said that these things would be of great use to Wilton Territory.

Baron Dias hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"It's your gift, it's for you! I'm not going to take it anyway. ”

Karl sighed at his father, who adhered to the rules of knighthood, but did not persuade him, he knew what kind of person his father was, and since he had decided, it would not change.

"Your investiture is over, and perhaps it's almost time for us to leave." Baron Dias said that by now, Dortmund should have nothing to do with them, and the reunion relationship with Karl had already been there.

"Don't worry about my father, I'm going to have a big tournament in Dortmund, and I've invited those nobles, they won't leave so early, you can stay and watch with me." Karl grinned.

"Athletic tournaments?"

"Yes father, I need knights, I need enough knights to arm Dortmund, my territory needs some low-level nobles, they can help me stabilize my rule here, and they can also fight for me!"

"Athletic tournaments? I haven't really seen it yet! Mrs. Aisha's eyes widened, and she looked interested, when Baron Dias was still Sir Dias in the past, how could he have the ability to participate in competitive competitions, let alone hold them, and after becoming a baron, he did not meet a nobleman who was willing to hold competitive competitions.

"Do you use competitive tournaments to select knights? Well, that's a good idea. Baron Dias nodded, the knight who came like this is definitely the best among the knights!

"Father, to be honest, I still have a plan, I hope to form a knight order!" Carl said in a deep voice.

"Knights? I remember that your realm already has a knighthood, and I think about it, it seems to be called ...... Knights of St. John! Baron Dias frowned.

Hearing the name of the Knights of St. John, Karl's brows also furrowed, and he sighed, a little helpless.

"This is different, although the Knights of St. John are loyal to me, but they really don't listen to my orders, unless outsiders invade my territory, they won't help, what I need is a knight that I can command at will, a knight that belongs to me!" Karl pursed his lips, an idea he had thought about for a long time.

"Your very own order...... Your idea is exaggerated. Baron Dias did not hide his surprise, it is very difficult to form a knight order, it is not simply to gather a group of knights together, there are many things involved, Baron Dias can't say.

You know, the Knights have a similar concept, and that is the Military Order! Although not all military orders are knights.

"Don't exaggerate my father, in fact I've already thought out most of the details, even their names!"

"What?"

"Knights Templar!"

"The Knights Templar? It's a good name. Baron Dias nodded, but he was more concerned about the details that Karl had come up with in mind.

"I intend to make the Knights Templar a wartime leader who charges for me at my behest, and non-wartime banking as the center, which will make the organization stronger, and I will be the Grand Master of the Templar Order!" Carl said excitedly.

"Banking?" Baron Dias was stunned, he had never heard the term.

"You can understand it as borrowing and lending and some other things." Carl tried to tell them what he understood about banking.

"I see, that's a good idea!" Baron Dias understood thoroughly and couldn't help but admire Karl's intelligence.

What a good idea, simply brilliant, if the Knights Templar can really develop, then through this so-called banking industry, Dortmund can influence the entire continent!

"What are you talking about, why don't I understand it?" Mrs. Aisha was at a loss, he couldn't understand Carl and Baron Dias from just now.

Baron Dias shook his head and explained as briefly as possible.

It's just this explanation that Mrs. Aisha's eyes have changed when she looks at Carl, where did her little son come from, which makes her a little frightened.

"It's just that you, as a noble earl, will sooner or later get too close to those merchants, which is not ......," Baron Dias said hesitantly.

"My father, times have changed, and we can't underestimate those merchants!" Karl shook his head, the thinking of a boss like Baron Dias is absolutely not advisable!
