Rise In Calradia

Since being occupied by Swadia to the present, the town of Serendil has experienced many battles and finally ushered in peace and prosperity after a long absence. The walls of the town have been repaired, the destroyed buildings have been refurbished, people are always busy in the streets and alleys, and goods from all over are circulated in the market again. The abandoned land in the village outside the town was reclaimed. Cows and horses wandered on the grass in groups, pigs and sheep were properly placed in the fence, the honey in the hive was sweet and delicious, and the dried meat was hung in the barn. People's clothes are much cleaner, and the focus of the farmers' chat has changed from worries about war to discussion about current life and work.

The workers spontaneously repaired Byron’s house here. Jamila then used cloth, velvet, exquisite pottery and some gold and silver to decorate the room very elegantly and beautifully, even if a Swadia Count came. There will be no complaints due to improper accommodation.

The reason for preparing for all this is naturally very simple, that is, the local lord, Swadia’s war hero Baron Byron, has returned from Veluga.

On the day that Lord Baron returned to the fief, he made a special appearance. Two Swadian heavy cavalry armed with peony flags opened the way. Full of accessories that a lord should have, a whole team of uniformly equipped and well-trained cavalry entered the town. Along the way, there were several etiquette attendants who came to welcome him and watch the crowds. Distributing change and fresh bread, naturally, in order to show his majesty in front of his leaders.

Byron has been busy with the war, but fortunately, Jamila is very capable in governance. She first managed Byron’s finances for a period of time as a butler, and then acted as a consul and Alain manages Serendil. The whole territory. It is precisely because of her that this territory has gradually prospered, and the people here will accept Byron, the northern lord who has not stayed here for long, in just one year.

"Seeing that the territory is so prosperous, I thank you all the more. Tell me, Elaine, what's the situation with Serendil now?" Byron was riding on horseback, waving to the townspeople on both sides of the street, and was satisfied. Asked Eleon who came forward to welcome him.

"The situation is very good, my lord. In fact, it is far better than we thought. At first I didn't even know where to borrow the salaries of the defenders and militias, but now...it’s not that I brag, except for the local patrolling militias. In addition, you can place two more mercenary brigades here, we can afford them. (The brigade is a re-division of the peony mercenary organization. It is the main force that can independently perform war tasks. It can be independent when there is no assembly. Operation. A standard Peony Brigade includes 50-60 infantry, 25 full-time crossbowmen, 10 armored shock cavalry, 6 scout cavalry, 5-8 engineering team, at least 20 logistics auxiliary workers, 30-40 packhorses. The re-divided Peony Regiment includes 5 mercenary brigades and about a hundred alternates, and the rest have retired or left)” Alain said proudly.

"Very well, Elaine, this is the best news I've heard in the past few days. Because I do want to place some troops in Serendil, but don't let them sit idle, train and clean up those bandits and The bandits, let them continue to hone their combat experience, we don't know when we will need them." Byron nodded, and then continued to ask:

"What about the rest of Serendil? What about the fiscal revenue? What about the tax rate? Did there have been many business trips in the past? Has the reconstruction work been completed?"

"This..." Erien was suddenly asked so many questions. He was speechless for a while. After a while, he replied: "These are mainly Yamila in charge. If I am asked to say something, I can only tell Your town’s income is good, but I’m not clear about the details. In addition, it’s a good season for hunting. The forest farm has made us a lot of money and the game is also very rich."

"Hahahaha, indeed, it's too difficult for you to ask these questions. After all, you are mainly responsible for military affairs. It is normal for other things to be negligent. After all, even I can't do everything."

Byron and Elaine went on a chat for a while, talking about all the major events that happened during Byron's absence, and also about the situation in the surrounding area. Just like Eleon said, when it comes to the military, he understands more comprehensively. The two chatted, and they arrived at the door of his mansion without knowing it. Byron dismounted and entered the house, handed his robe to the servant, and entered the house with Eleon, and the soldiers disbanded and went to rest separately.

"The furnishings here are beautiful, even better than our residence in Veluga, Yamila?"

"Yes, my lord, she is very tasteful. I have to say that after finishing the arrangement, the result is beyond my imagination and it is enough to be worthy of your status."

"Look, like I said, the performance of your two collaborations is perfect, no matter what."

"I can't deny this, my lord, it's been a wonderful time with Ms. Yamila." Listening to Byron's words, Eleon gradually realized something was wrong, but still said what he was thinking.

"I'm glad you think so, Eleon, I always think you are a good time together. You think you agree with this. I have persuaded her family, and Veluga's banquet is almost ready. If you agree, I would be happy to be your witness, and it will be my honor to watch you all enter the marriage hall at the same time." Byron put on a smiley face, that expression was even when Prince Harau U It has never been so brilliant. At this time, Eleon couldn't fail to understand Byron's intentions, and it was impossible to pretend to be confused. His lord had spoken clearly.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir, but I have other plans for my future." Elaine took two steps back, saluted respectfully, lowered his head to ignore Byron's face, and declined the other person's kindness.

Byron was stunned for a moment. As a lord, no matter what his background, Eleon wouldn't make him happy if he refuted his face like this.

"I know she doesn't have the status of a nobleman to you, but Jamila's family is very rich, and his father also served as a member of the council for a period of time, which is not too bad for you. Their family has prepared a dowry of 10,000 dinars. , Don’t want your dowry..."

"It's not about money, my lord."

Elaine rejected Byron’s proposal again. He should be very clear that Jamila’s family would not come up with so much dowry. At least 80% of the money was paid by Byron’s own pockets. He did this, no But rejecting his lover is even rejecting his lord.

"I shouldn't need to remind you, Elaine, Jamila has been pregnant for a few months, and you admit that it is your heir, and the feelings between you are also there. Do you want this child to come as an illegitimate child? This world?" At this point~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Byron's face is not very good, and his tone becomes serious.

"Sorry for rejecting your kindness, my lord, but please allow me to handle some things myself."

"Oh? Then you want to organize the wedding yourself? Ah, I understand. After all, I prepared too hastily. It is really inappropriate for outsiders to interfere with life-related major events. It is indeed better to do it yourself. Then you can guarantee to marry Ya Is Mira this beautiful lady?"

"I can't guarantee this."

"...What do you mean? Elaine, I hope you can explain it to me."

"I'm very sorry, sir, but I still have some important tasks to deal with, please allow me to leave temporarily."

Eleon finished speaking, saluted in a hurry, and then immediately turned and left. He was so hurried that this ceremony was too inappropriate even for Byron, especially shouldn't appear on the descendants of nobles like Eleon.

Byron sat down and sighed upstairs. Not long after, there was a slight sob from upstairs.

"What a scumbag from the Middle Ages..." Byron whispered secretly in his heart.
