Chapter 350: I understand you
If she could, Maloney would like to buy some weapons like grenades, and if she could, she would no longer have to fear the attacks of the elves.
He felt that the possibility of negotiating this matter was not low, because it was impossible for Davy Gramorgan, Duke of Winter, to sit back and watch Irontree Castle fall to the elves, which would not be a good thing for the newly appointed Duke, and would deal a major blow to his prestige.
There are a lot of lords in the kingdom of Tiran, but they are all watching.
Maloney couldn't have imagined that Duke David Glamorgan didn't care about these things at all, and he didn't care what the lords of Tilland thought of him.
Even if the Iron Tree Fort was captured by the elves, it was still a good thing for him, so that he could 'reasonably' send troops south, expel the elves and occupy the entire territory of the Iron Tree Fort.
To put it bluntly, he wished that the entire Kingdom of Tiran would be in chaos, and it was best to fight everywhere except the Northern Plains, and clearly stated that he was against the Kingdom of Tiran, which would clear the way for him to go south in the future.
Like now, only a small number of lords have rebelled against the Tiran Kingdom, and most of them are still under the banner of the Tiran Kingdom, but they are not very easy to start.
That is, he is still running the Northern Plains, otherwise he would have to think of a reason to go south and receive the land into his hands.
At that time, it may cause dissatisfaction from all sides, tossing and turning, and in the end it is necessary to use force, it is better to wait for the lords to fight against the Tilan Kingdom from the beginning, and it is simple and simple to clean it up yourself.
Watching Maloney leave, David got up and walked out from behind the large desk.
Walking out of the office, Eva seemed to have already talked about Davy coming out, waiting here: "Earl Sutton-Stewart and Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia are on the rooftop. β
"Oh."
"Do you want to tell them to come down?"
David waved his hand, it was very boring to sit there all the time, and he decided to go up to the roof to find Earl Stewart, so he should relax: "I'll go look for them!" β
Anyway, Earl Sutton-Stewart is also considered 'his own person', so he doesn't have to worry too much about etiquette laws and regulations.
Elias next to him thought the same thing, so he didn't say anything against it, and still quietly followed behind the Duke, pretending that he didn't exist.
Ascending to the top floor and walking up to the rooftop, David caught a glimpse of Sutton Stewart standing on the edge and looking around, and Sophia, who was next to him to introduce something to his uncle.
Not far behind the two, Belfast, still dressed as a maid, stood there, greeting David when he saw him coming, and at the same time reminding the other two that the Duke had arrived.
"Lord Duke!"
Sutton Stewart turned around and saluted David for the first time, with some emotion on his face, he didn't expect that the young man who was his prey at the beginning was now standing at the top of the Kingdom of Tiran.
Although he has not yet become a king, looking at the current development situation, it is only a matter of time before the Duchy of Winter becomes the Kingdom of Winter.
Sutton didn't feel any dissatisfaction, the interior of the Tiran Kingdom had been infiltrated into a sieve, and it was inevitable that something would happen.
It's just that he didn't think that the guys in the temple would do so ruthlessly.
It was only then that he realized how naΓ―ve his calculations were.
Thinking of the things that the temple has done, it is already a very lucky thing that he can still live in a very chic way, not to mention that the Duke of David Glamorgan did not treat him badly.
"What's the matter with your sudden coming here today?"
Hearing David's tone and words, Sutton Stewart's face became a lot lighter.
From this inquiry alone, Sutton can conclude that the Duke of David Glamorgan is still relatively kind to himself, at least not in formulaic sentences to deal with himself.
"I'm here to apply for a job."
"Huh?" David guessed a few possibilities, but he really didn't expect Sutton to come to him to look for a job: "Job hunting? β
"Yes."
After a brief explanation, David realized that compared to those nobles who came to Winterfell for the first time, Sutton was half a beat late, and most of the Stewart family's property was 'confiscated' by the Duke.
The nobles who came to Winterfell after the resurrection could personally identify which of their belongings were their own and pay some money to ask the Cybertrons to help dig them up.
Although they lost their houses and moved away from their 'fiefdoms', the savings of the nobles were still there, and these funds were enough for them not to worry about their current lives.
Some of the nobles who were in White Rock City and did not die also had their families in the royal capital of Tiran, so their family property was also preserved.
The nobles who could not be resurrected, their family property became the 'spoils' of David, the duke, and after being dug up, it went directly into the duke's private small treasury.
Among them, there is Sutton Stewart's property.
Although Sophia and Rosie, the queen, pointed out that some of the assets belonged to Sutton, there were also some assets that Sutton himself later developed and stored separately, and the mother and daughter did not know that Sutton was not present at the time, so it went into David's pocket.
When Sutton arrives in Winterfell, he finds that his assets have shrunk significantly, and after cultivating and spending money to build a luxurious and comfortable estate, he desperately needs a stable income to ensure his future well-being.
In fact, even if his fortune shrank severely, the savings in the hands of the Earl of Sutton Stewart could ensure that he would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
However, if you can't enjoy a life of luxury, for the Earl of Sutton Stewart, there is no difference from death.
In order to ensure that he can continue to live the happy life he used to have, he urgently needs a stable income.
"If you want to make money, there should be a lot of ways, right?"
Winterfell doesn't restrict commerce, and David even encourages his people to engage in commerce to a certain extent, so that he can collect taxes from it!
"It's not a conflict."
In addition to wanting to do some business, Sutton was ready to receive a salary from David, and he felt that he was absolutely capable of earning it.
David looked at Sutton Stewart, and he didn't know what to say about the earl: Earl Stewart gave him the impression that he was a swinger who lived on his aristocratic status.
Later, after a period of contact, he found that this person's ability is not bad, and the playboy is just his daily life.
Garrisoning White Rock City to resist the attack of the temple's army, it can be seen that Count Stewart's military ability is not bad, and he can even be called strong, and he is definitely the top commander of the Tiran Kingdom.
It's really a bit of a waste for such a talent to just throw it away every day.
As for the connection between Earl Stewart and the Temple, he knew from the beginning that Earl Stewart did not trust the Temple, and even had a certain degree of vigilance, from the fact that he was not directly made into a bomb, he knew that he was much smarter than most of the Tilan nobles.
The other people involved in the temple have completely disappeared from this world, and even David can't be saved.
It's just that he underestimated the determination and ruthlessness of the Temple, and he didn't expect the Temple to blow up all the Tiran magnates and chess pieces that he had worked so hard to woo, divide, and absorb.
He can't be blamed for this, normal people would never have imagined that this kind of thing would happen, and it was only after this incident that David labeled the temple as 'abnormal'.
"What position do you want?"
"It's up to the Duke to arrange."
"That's ......"
Davy thought about it for a moment and realized that there was really a position suitable for Sutton Stewart, because that position was so special that others really couldn't sit still.
"How's the Commander of the Knights of Tiran?"
"Knights of Tiran? You put me in charge of the Knights of Tiran? Am I going to be the head of the Knights? Sutton Stewart had expected David to give himself a similar position and do some kind of consultant-like work.
Unexpectedly, the young Duke of Glamorgan actually handed over the Knights of Tiran to himself? Is it so atmospheric?
"No, the head of the regiment has someone else." David said the commander, not the regimental commander, there is still a difference, and he didn't pretend to play any mystery, and directly pointed at Sophia standing next to him: "I'm going to make Sophia the head of the Knights of Tiran." β
"Oh~" Sutton immediately understood David's thoughts.
After all, the Knights of Tiran are the ace troops of the Kingdom of Tiran, and the reorganized Knights of Tiran have also absorbed some members of the Knights of the Guards, and this team has a very high recognition and loyalty to the Royal Family of Tiran.
Even with the miracle of the resurrection, the Knights of Tiran were more in awe than loyal to the Duke of Glamorgan.
In this case, the insight of who should be the head of the Knights of Tiran gave him a great headache: David, who was chosen from within the Knights, could not be trusted; The head of the regiment appointed by Davy may cause resistance from the Knights.
Thinking about it, it is the best way to directly let Princess Sophia be named the head of the Knights of Tiran, and the one who is really in charge of the command is Earl Sutton-Stewart, as the uncle of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the members of the Knights of Tiran will naturally not resist it.
"Sounds like a good position." The Earl of Sutton Stewart was glad that his income for the rest of his life should be secured, but he had not forgotten the 'more important purpose' for which he had come today.
After making eye contact with David, the two of them took a few steps along the edge of the roof, and distanced themselves from the others on the roof.
"Now that Sophia is going to be the head of the Knights of Tiran, shouldn't some things be finalized as soon as possible?"
Seeing that David's face was a little embarrassed, Sutton, who had always introduced Duke David Glamorgan as his lifelong confidant, naturally knew what Lord Duke was struggling with, and immediately fed him a reassuring pill:
"I'm not pushing anything, and no one is pushing you to do something you don't want to do...... I'm just reminding you, in Winterfell or not? How many to marry? It's up to you! β
