After retiring, I became Loli’s magic mentor

"You want to learn how to govern a city?"

Fina paused shaking the wine glass, and in an instant she thought of many things.

The first thing Fina thought of was that Ryan had decided to hand over Kalondo to Noelle in the future!

Fina sighed a little. Ryan is still very young and it is impossible for him to have other children in the future. However, he still decided to give Kalondo to Noelle, his adopted daughter. This was enough to show how much Ryan valued Noelle.

What's more, Fina knew clearly that Kyle came with letters related to Ryan's title of duke, and also brought a circle of cities around Kalondo as fiefdoms.

By then, Kalondo will definitely become the core of these cities!

Squinting at Noelle for a moment, Fina nodded: "Okay."

Fina herself strongly supports women in power, and guiding Noelle can also do Ryan a favor, so why not do it?

When it comes to governing internal affairs, the entire Hedlifena dares to claim to be second, and no one dares to claim to be first.

Hearing this, Noelle's little face immediately showed a bright smile: "Thank you, Dean Fina!"

Looking at Noelle's smile, Fina's heartbeat suddenly stopped, and she couldn't help but raise her hand to rub Noelle's head.

It's nice to have a daughter...

On the other side, Ryan was reminiscing with his comrades.

"Captain Ryan, is your fiefdom still short of knights?"

Someone said with bright eyes: "Why don't I stay and continue to be your knight!"

"Then I'll stay too!"

A group of people followed suit and started to make a fuss.

Since retiring, they received titles and enjoyed a quiet life for a while, but found it... boring.

Sometimes, I still miss the days of playing and fighting in the Knights Templar.

However, if they were asked to guard the border again, they would definitely be unwilling to do so.

"Kalondo has no money."

Ryan smiled and shook his head: "It's hard enough to support my knights, where can I get the money to support you?"

Judging from their strength and quality alone, the salaries these knights should receive are much higher than those of the Knights of the Royal Guard.

What's more, Ryan knew very well in his heart that Hedley had intentionally separated them when awarding them rewards in order to prevent them from gathering together and posing a threat to the royal family.

If they get together again now, they will inevitably be targeted by the people above, which will be very annoying.

"I actually support you going to Ryan to be a knight."

At this time, a leisurely voice was heard. Everyone turned their heads and saw Kyle walking over with a glass of wine.

"Lord Ryan!"

A cheerful voice was heard, and then Ryan felt his arms sink. He lowered his head and saw that it was the little princess Futini who had bumped into his arms.

Still rubbing against my chest...

Seeing this scene, Nanali and others who were secretly observing not far away suddenly became sharp in their eyes.

Little Princess Futini? When did they hook up?

"Your Highness."

The members of the Dark Knights greeted Kyle. Kyle waved his hand and raised his glass to everyone. His voice was calm but powerful:

"Thank you for your hard work during this time in the Western Territory. Let me toast to you."

After that, Kyle drank the wine in the glass.

The members of the Dark Eclipse Knights immediately offered a drink.

After drinking with the retired knights, Kyle turned his attention to Ryan who was holding Futini.

Seeing how Futini depended on Ryan, Kyle laughed secretly in his heart.

Have more contact, the closer the relationship the better. Anyway, my father has already agreed personally.

Kyle couldn't help but smile when he thought that Ryan might become his brother-in-law.

Ryan stared at Kyle with dead fish eyes: "What are you laughing at? So disgusting."

"Uh...ahem!"

Kyle quickly adjusted his expression and said to Ryan, "I'm happy for you. First of all, I wish you a happy wedding. In addition, I have another happy news to tell you."

"Your Highness, what's the good news?"

Upon hearing about the double happiness, Ryan hadn't even opened his mouth yet when the retired knights of Dark Eclipse hurriedly urged him on.

Kyle smiled and took out a bag and handed it to Ryan: "Take a look."

Ryan took the bag and although he hadn't opened it yet, he already guessed what was inside.

Ryan put Futini down, and the retired knights immediately gathered around and pushed Futini out of the crowd, making Futini puff up her cheeks in anger.

First, what Ryan pulled out of the bag was a golden badge.

——Duke’s coat of arms.

Looking at the badge, Ryan didn't feel too much emotion.

On the one hand, he had known for a long time that he would soon be conferred the title of Duke, but on the other hand... Ryan really had no sense of the reality of these titles and rights.

When I was still an earl, weren't those marquises and dukes very polite to me?

Having strength is more useful than any title.

"Fuck, Archduke!"

When the retired knights saw the Duke's badge in Ryan's hand, they jumped up and down like monkeys as if they had obtained it themselves.

Ryan shook his head and took out another letter from the bag.

The letter was signed by Luard Hedley and was a handwritten letter from the current King of the Hedley Empire.

Lud followed Kyle's advice and knew that Ryan might not like the reward, so he tried to write to Ryan in the tone of an old friend.

Ryan opened the letter and glanced at it. The front was filled with greetings from King Luard, saying he had long heard of your name, was grateful for rescuing his daughter, and wanted to meet him in person.

Later on, it describes the scope of the fiefdom that Ryan was awarded after being made duke.

However, although it was a reward, Ludde also specifically emphasized in the letter that it was a "thank you".

In fact, Ludwig was very reluctant to write to a count in this tone.

But on second thought, Ryan might become his son-in-law in the future, which would mean he would be crowned king.

Thinking of this, Ludwig no longer felt ashamed.

The fiefdom awarded by the duke was a circle of cities around Kalondo, a total of three cities. Including Kalondo, Ryan now owned four cities.

You know, Duke Fina only has one city, Ate, as his fiefdom.

But Ryan didn't feel happy, instead he had a headache.

After all, Calondolien was seldom governed, and many places were governed by the two earls, Horace and Doyle, in their busy schedules.

Now that the city has suddenly become four, it would be embarrassing to continue to trouble those two people, right?

Although Doyle is now his father-in-law...

What remains are other relevant documents of the three surrounding cities.

After emptying the seemingly small bag, Ryan looked up and found that his old comrades were staring at him.

"Captain Ryan, no, should I call you Grand Duke Ryan now? You must be short of manpower now, right?"
