Pyne's wedding process was taken by the departed nobles to all parts of the Duchy of Rizland, many nobles will know what a valuable gift the Count of Dortmund took out at this wedding, and for a time the marriage of the Dias family and the Chris family became the after-dinner conversation of many people in the principality, which invisibly brought prestige to the Dias family, which was an unexpected publicity, of course, this is all an afterthought.

At this moment, Carl is still staying in Fort Wilton, he is home, it is rare to see his parents and brothers, so he naturally has to stay for a few more days.

"Pyne, he's drunk in Gentle Country." Karl drank wine and chatted with Baron Dias.

"Haha, he's going to enjoy his newlywed life." Baron Dias was also smiling.

Pyne was indeed fond of his wife, and the next morning after hearing that he had sex with her, he gave Angelina several properties as morning gifts.

This is because he has not inherited Baron Dias's domain after all, and he only owns a small amount of property, otherwise he may have given more.

"What are you talking about?" Just then, Pyne pushed open the door to the castle hall and walked in, and Carl looked over, his face smug.

"Yo, isn't this our bridegroom?" Carl quipped.

"Pyne, where's Angelina?" Lady Aisha noticed that Angelina was not following him.

"Angelina is in the room, she doesn't want to go out yet." Pine said hesitantly.

"Oh? It seems that our bridegroom is very remarkable. Carl chuckled, and the man knew the smile that made Pyne scratch his head in embarrassment.

After all, Angelina experienced sexual affairs for the first time, so naturally there would be a lot of inconvenience, and everyone didn't mention it again.

"Carl, I see your knights in the inner palace packing their things, what's the matter, you're leaving?" Pine asked casually with a move of his shoulders.

"In a day or two, I'm going to pay a visit to Count Charles in Rensburg, and then I'll drop back to Dortmund." Karl nodded, Count Charles gave face like this, he always had to visit and thank him, which could be regarded as a gesture.

"Visiting the Earl of Shire? And that's exactly how it should be. Baron Dias nodded, he also planned to go to Rensburg, but he didn't find much of an opportunity before.

The two tacitly did not mention that this would be a visit with political factors, and even if it did not mean this aspect, it would be like this in the eyes of outsiders.

"My dear child, are you going to leave again?" Lady Aisha reluctantly said that it had been a long time since Carl had left Black Thorn Village, and she had seen very little of each other.

"You can come and see me at any time." Karl felt a little warm in his heart, although Lady Aisha was not the biological mother of his soul, but she did take care of him in every way, which made him very grateful in his heart.

"Our son is now the ruler of Dortmund, and he can't always be at your knees." Baron Dias said with a smile.

"But speaking of Dortmund, the view is really good, I'll go." Mrs. Aisha thought of the time when Karl had been canonized.

"I'm looking forward to that."

……

Karl's visit to the Count of Charles was not long, after all, they were only a simple contact and gesture, and after doing these things, Karl returned directly to Dortmund.

"Welcome back, Lord Count." After receiving the news that Karl was about to return to Dortmund, Kevin, Berg and other court members had already arrived at the castle.

"Did anything happen to the castle in my absence?" Karl loosened his shoulders and sat down on his throne and asked casually.

"Hmm...... It's not a big deal, but the Knights Templar might be making some progress. Kevin thought for a moment and said.

"Oh? Over there with the Knights Templar? Tell us about the situation. Carl was interested.

"According to the instructions you left behind, the Knights Templar have been escorting trade routes and banks, we in Dortmund have won the defense war, and many merchants from the Dierman Territory have begun to be willing to come to us to do business, you must know that we have many specialties here that the Dierman Territory does not have, and those merchants like vultures will not let go of such opportunities to make money." It was Berg who answered Karl, after all, it was Berg who was in charge of Dortmund's finances.

"Although those merchants want to do this, but you also know, we always have some remnants of Flo here to resist, or turn into robbers, which poses a huge threat to those caravans, and generally mercenaries do not dare to take on such a guard mission, thinking about it, only our Templar Order is the most suitable, after all, the Templar Order is powerful and the fees charged are not expensive, plus the existence of goods and money is very safe in the bank we opened, at least so far there has been no incident."

"Good." Carl said with satisfaction, although it was still rough so far, but it was a bit of a look.

"Because of the Templar Order's income, our finances are much better, and the subsidies are a bit more leaky." Speaking of this, Berg glanced at Karl with some apprehension.

Karl was a little embarrassed, kept shouting poor, and as a result, he also gave a batch of gifts that were so precious that they flew up, although because there were emeralds and gemstones in Dortmund, but that doesn't mean that they can be squandered at will, if you have to say, that set of gems can be sold to him in exchange for more than 10,000 silver natas income, that will be a huge amount of money.

"By the way, Lord Earl, I almost forgot one thing, Lord Rizland sent an envoy to send an invitation." Brother Derian patted his head and said quickly, this is a big thing, but he almost forgot it.

"Oh? My invitation to be crowned? Karl paused for a moment, Brother Derian didn't mention Duke Rizlan, he almost forgot that he still had a lord.

He finally knew how scattered power was in the Middle Ages, and he rarely even felt the presence of Duke Rizland except that the Duke of Rizland was nominally his own vassal, and perhaps only when Duke Rizland had to provide military service when he faced war, he would feel like a vassal.

He seemed to remember that the dukes didn't even listen to the king, and that the military service system was a null and void for them.

"I wonder what the Duke of Rizland invited me to do?" Karl asked

"The Duke has recently won a defensive victory over the Magyars in the East, and he wants all his vassals to celebrate with him, and he will have a great feast of celebration." Kevin said.

"Oh? A victory over the Magyars? The Duke is truly heroic. Karl nodded, if he remembered correctly, the Magyars were the barbarians in the east, they were rich in horses, so they had a lot of light cavalry, and the light cavalry that came and went like the wind was simply a nightmare of this era, and the light infantry without armor was paper paste in front of them, and the knights who were heavy cavalry were naturally not afraid, but there were too few such knights, and they were not enough to compete with those Magyars, so most of the Magyars were on the defensive, And even if the infantry won the battle, they would not be able to catch up with the Magyars, and they had to give up.

It was not bad that the Duke of Rizlan had won the defense of the Magyars, after all, the word victory was not misused.

"What about time?" Karl asked again.

"Half a month later, half a month later, this invitation was delivered ten days ago, Duke Rizland, but you were still in Rensburg at that time......

"Half a month? God, this is a very short time. Karl was stunned, it was a temporary idea to go to the Earl of Charles, so it was not expected.

"Yes, Lord Count, I think...... You should be on your way right away. Kevin suggested.

"I'm going to suffer my ass......," lamented Karl, for the carriage of this age was not so comfortable, it was like sitting on a piece of iron, and there were no smooth roads here, except for the roads in Dortmund, which were all mountainous, and the word bumpy was light.

Karl drove all the way to Wilton Castle and then to Rensberg, and then all the way back, and he couldn't stand the journey, and now he had to go on a carriage ride for ten days and half a month before he could rest......

"Lord Earl, we have no choice." Kevin and the others snickered.

"Okay, okay." Karl gritted his teeth, Duke Rizland's invitation, he had to go no matter what.

"Now, at least today I need to take a break." A day off was Carl's last stubbornness.

"Of course, as you wish, the fireplace in your room is blazing, and the maid has prepared the bath water for you." Brother Derian said respectfully.

"Oh?" Karl was a little surprised, Brother Derian had returned with him.

"I know you're going to need a good rest when you get back, so I arranged for the maid to prepare when I first returned to the castle." Brother Derian explained.

"Okay, you have a heart." Karl nodded, it was not for nothing that Brother Derian could become the palace minister, he himself was capable, and he was able to serve the loyalists well.

"It is my pleasure to serve you, Lord Earl." Brother Derian said with a slight bend and a smile.

"Okay, don't be a sycophant, Derian, you can go down and rest too, you will need to go with me to Rizlandburg." Carl waved his hand.

Brother Derian was stunned for a moment, then showed a sad look, and then was quickly suppressed by him.

"Serve your sovereign." Brother Derian said again, only this time he looked weak.

"Haha, okay, let's leave if there's nothing to do, and go do your job." Carl got up, he just wanted to lie down in his bed now.

"Have a great night." After saluting, the people also departed.
