Chapter 37 Small Banquet
"Father, whose letter is this?" Pine asked curiously when he saw the wax-sealed letter in Baron Díaz's hand.
"It belongs to your brother Carl." Baron Dias said casually.
"Oh? There's a letter from Karl. I haven't heard much from him since he went to Silder Manor, but I heard that he helped Sir Theodore." Mrs. Elsa also came over.
Since coming to the Barony of Wilton, Lady Elsa no longer has to be busy with housework or various chores all day long. At least they can afford servants.
"Don't worry." Baron Diaz opened the wax seal, took out the letter, and read it carefully.
"Oh, it seems that your brother is living well there. Silder Manor is a good place. Karl said that he has more than twenty servants, which makes him a little uncomfortable." Baron Dias said lightly.
He laughed, and the first half of the letter was to report that he was safe, and also gave a brief explanation of Silder Manor.
"Ha, that's a whole manor. I heard that the manor is warm in winter and cool in summer, so I would also like to live there." Mrs. Aisha also smiled.
"I don't want to go there. The manor is a place for retirement and is not suitable for me." Pine dismissed it, but it made him feel a little sour.
"Then what's said below?" Mrs. Elsa pointed to the bottom.
"Well... Carl needs a nobleman to be his judge, but he can't find a suitable candidate and wants us to help him find one." Baron Dias pursed his lips.
"Judge? It's not easy to find..." Mrs. Elsa frowned slightly. It was difficult to find such a person among the people they knew.
"Yeah, Karl really posed a problem for me..." Baron Dias tapped the table lightly.
"By the way, I suddenly remembered a person who may be suitable and may also be able to establish a good relationship with other nobles for us." Mrs. Aisha patted her forehead lightly.
"Oh? My dear, what are you talking about?" Baron Diaz asked doubtfully.
Lady Elsa gently whispered a name in Baron Díaz's ear.
"Dear, why didn't I think of that? This is really a good choice, and Karl should be satisfied with it." Baron Dias nodded repeatedly.
"I will write to Sir Alden now. This is a great opportunity."
"Lord Baron, it's not good!"
At this moment, the new butler hired by Baron Diaz hurried over.
"What's wrong? I told you not to be so impatient!" Baron Diaz was very dissatisfied. This seemed to him to be very disrespectful of etiquette.
"Lord Baron, something bad happened in your territory and you need to deal with it." The butler took a breath and calmed down.
"Say it." Baron Diaz didn't even raise his head. These servants who have never seen the world are like this. They always exaggerate small things, so he doesn't believe the big things the other party says.
"Yes...the question comes from Baron Sav's side!"
"What? Baron Sav?" Baron Dias paused with the quill in his hand, a look of surprise on his face.
Maybe it's a coincidence. The Barony of Wilton and the Barony of Savu are very close to each other. Although they are not bordering each other, they are almost the same. This also makes Baron Dias choked all the time, for fear of what the other party will do.
.
But nothing has happened so far, which makes Baron Diaz worried. He didn't expect that something would happen in the end.
"How dare Baron Savu cause trouble? See if I don't deal with him!" Pine looked angry, as if he wanted to eat the other person alive. Although he won that duel, the fact that the other party made things difficult for his family still made him feel a little sad.
Root thorn.
"Calm down Pine, let your father handle this matter first." Mrs. Elsa put her hand on Pine's shoulder and shook her head at him.
"Tell me, tell me clearly what happened!"
"Here's the thing..."
…
"You are the judge recommended by your father? You are Sir Alden's nephew. What is your name?" Karl looked at the young man in front of him. There was not much expression on his face. It seemed that the things around him could not arouse his interest.
Psychological changes.
With the help of several guards, the young man traveled all the way to his manor and brought a letter of recommendation from Baron Dias, and then he was received by Karl.
"Distinguished Sir, my name is Constantine." Constantine bowed respectfully, without any unnecessary movements, and looked crisp and neat.
"F*ck, Constantine?" Carl was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he had spoken dirty words in this world, which was enough to show the shock in his heart.
"What a domineering name..." Karl said silently in his heart. In the world before the time travel, this name symbolized a great emperor, although this world did not have such a great emperor.
Combined with his name and the position he was about to take, Karl inexplicably felt that he might do a good job...
"Do you know what you are here to do?" Karl asked.
"I know my lord, I will be your judge and solve your cases for you." Constantine nodded.
"Well, very good, it seems that you are ready, but why do you seem to..." Karl hesitated and said. From the beginning, Karl could see that there seemed to be something on the other side's eyes, which was very heavy.
, although the other party tried hard to control it and tried not to show too many expressions, he still discovered that after all, a person's eyes cannot be hidden, they are the windows to the soul.
"No, it's nothing, Sir." Constantine calmed down his emotions and shook his head.
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to tell, Karl didn't ask any more questions. He was not someone who liked to inquire about other people's privacy. Since Sir Dias recommended him, the details were naturally innocent and there would be no problem.
"Okay Constantine, since you're here too, my team has managed to put together a system. I decided to hold a small banquet tonight so that everyone can get familiar with it." Karl made a decision.
"Juliana, do we have enough inventory for a small banquet?" Karl seemed a little worried, and asked his manager again.
"Of course, Sir, please rest assured that we have sufficient inventory, whether it is meat or wine."
Although Silder Manor is not as good as those castles, it is not unable to hold banquets.
"Haha, very good. Let's celebrate it. I have been busy since I came here to adapt to it. Let's relax for a while." Karl stretched.
…
In Syldeburg, even the dark night cannot completely cover up the candlelight. Eagle flags are arranged on the columns. The maids and servants come in and out, holding bottles of wine, ale, or...
When it came to meat, the long table was quickly filled with delicacies.
The number of people at the banquet this time was not large. Karl, Juliana, Berg, Kevin, Allen, and Sylvia were all the people.
Logically speaking, Allen should not appear here. After all, the others are considered to be Karl's followers, and Allen is just a blacksmith hired by Karl. His status is completely different, but Karl called Allen in for the sake of fun.
It was obvious that Allen was flattered by the sudden news and was trembling all the time. After all, he was surrounded by big shots.
At the end of the long table, Karl was sitting on his throne. Looking at the servants coming and going, he couldn't help but sigh. Now he can be considered a "big shot". Of course, that is relative. In the previous life, there were so many people.
Serving him was unthinkable, but now it seemed so reasonable.
"Cheers to our territory!" Carl raised his wine glass and bit the word "our" heavily. Kevin and others also looked excited, and the change in status made them very excited.
This is especially true for Sylvia. At first, he doubted whether his decision would be wrong. After all, he had been a mercenary for most of his life, but now he no longer has such thoughts. He has suffered so much these days.
The treatment is really good, all kinds of food are fully supplied, and the accommodation conditions provided are not bad. Of course, the soldiers are not treated so well, but they are much better than before.
However, now that they have become a regular army under Karl, they will naturally not be as free and lazy as before. Karl does not want his soldiers to be rubbish that collapses in a battle.
Therefore, after they got used to it, they asked Karl to train them. They didn't need to achieve anything, at least they looked like a regular army.
Speaking of Kevin, now Kevin picks up the pork leg in front of him and just gnaws on it. In this era, there is not much food, and it is not easy to have a full meal. But now it is easy to eat meat and be full.
The life of meat made him cherish it.
Although he decided to follow Karl because he admired him, it did not mean that he did not need the guarantee of material life. Sufficient material life was an important factor in maintaining sincerity.
Karl was even more happy. He drank glass after glass of wine and malt liquor for free. Although the wine was not strong, drinking so much made him slightly drunk and his eyes were a little blurry.
Perhaps Constantine was the only one present who was not so excited, and was just enjoying the food in front of him calmly. Of course, he was also attracted to this kind of life, which was a treatment he could not have had before.
"Oh, sir, I feel lucky to be loyal to you!" Kevin got a little drunk and stood up with a plop, holding his glass high and said loudly.
"Haha, it is my luck to get your allegiance. Believe me, I will definitely conquer a larger territory, and we will live in a real castle!" Karl unconsciously yelled out some ambitions due to his drunkenness.
Ambition.
As soon as Karl's words came out, the atmosphere became more lively. Kevin, Berg, and Sylvia blushed, and even Allen was moved by this atmosphere.
But no one noticed that there seemed to be a flash of worry in Juliana's eyes, and a bit of hesitation. Finally, she bit her red lips, seemingly deciding something.
