Come to another world and become a lord

When Aeron returned to Henry's camp, his face was pale and in a miserable state. He came to the big tent without saying a word, dismounted, grabbed a bag of beer and took a few gulps, then wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Then he put down the bag of beer and looked at Henry again.

"He escaped," he said coldly, "and we lost a knight."

Henry glanced at the wound on Iren's hand and remained silent.

"You could have detained him, but you let him go~" Aeron said again, and then he raised his head and sighed with some reluctance, "Why would a being as powerful as Flame Alia work for that guy?"

Henry lowered his head and then said:

"I will personally plead guilty to this matter to Lord Morton."

"No!" Aeron suddenly changed his tone, "The Earl must not know."

"What?" Henry looked up in confusion.

Aeron sighed again. He knew Earl Morton. He was not a broad-minded man. If he knew the situation, he would make a decision that he could not even judge.

"Since this has already happened, let's just let it go. Anyway, we can't let the Earl know about it for now..." At least we have to keep it a secret until the war is over, Aeron said to himself, "But Henry, I hope that the two of us can put aside our past grudges and work together to deal with Carl."

The old knight said nothing, but nodded silently.

At the same time, in the lord's bedroom of Rickburg, Carl was sitting on the bed with a painful look on his face, while Alia was standing in front of the bed looking at him. At this time, the girl had taken off her armor, her hair was loose, and her red dance dress swayed slightly in the candlelight.

"Take off your clothes~" the girl said in an almost commanding tone.

"Ah?" Carl raised his head in confusion.

"What are you surprised about? This is not the first time I've treated your injuries." Alia shouted impatiently.

"Oh...oh." Carl had no choice but to take off his coat obediently. Then he felt the girl's slender fingers touching his back, which was a little itchy and a little cold.

"Well, there's no external injury." Alia said as she checked, "The left shoulder seems to be a little dislocated."

"It must have been because I was crushed by the horse when I fell off... No wonder it hurts so much." Carl complained.

In return, Alia looked at him with contempt:

"Don't you know what kind of injury you suffered?"

Alia grabbed his arm as she spoke, and after tentatively adjusting the position a few times, she moved it upwards. With a crisp "click", Carl felt a sharp pain, and then all the pain disappeared, and his left shoulder was able to move freely again.

"I feel much more comfortable now." Carl let out a long sigh, and there was no more pain on his face.

"Promise me that you won't do such dangerous things again, okay?" Alia said from the side.

"Although it's dangerous, it's not without rewards~" Carl remained noncommittal.

"Reward? What reward?" the girl asked.

"Do you know? The knights under Henry are all acquaintances who attacked the Great Khan with us. They all know me, and we had a good time drinking and chatting with each other." Carl said with a smile.

What he got in return was Alia's contempt again.

"So what?" the girl said again, "No matter how good our relationship is in private, they will still obey our orders and fight with us on the battlefield."

"You're right," Carl admitted. "But at least Henry invited me to drink, right? We met in private, and I talked a lot with him and his knights. No one knows what we talked about except ourselves."

"What do you mean by that?" Arya asked.

Karl just smiled slightly and continued:

"Do me a favor and go get Aisha."

"Aisha? The spy who kidnapped Myrna?" Alya asked again, to make sure she had heard it wrong.

"Yes, it's her." Carl nodded.

"Hmm..." This time it was Alya who looked thoughtful. "So, you finally revealed your true colors and are planning to attack that girl?"

"Haha, this joke is not funny at all..." Carl replied.

Not long after, the door opened, and Aisha walked into the bedroom under the guidance of the guard. She was wearing the uniform servant outfit of Rick Castle, with extra hinges on her feet, which made every movement carry a metallic sound, and also made Carl know that someone had arrived before she opened the door.

Of course, this was not a punishment, it was just to prevent people from escaping. But now, Carl had to reconsider this matter.

“Sir, what do you want me to do for you?” The woman nodded slightly and asked Karl respectfully.

"Aisha, for the crime of kidnapping, I remember I sentenced you to 10 years of hard labor in Rickburg."

"Yes, sir, you are so magnanimous and spared my life. I am very grateful for this." Aisha nodded again.

"Yes." Carl nodded, glanced at the guard beside her and continued, "Help Miss Aisha to remove the shackles. It's too much of a hindrance."

"What?" Alia looked at Carl in surprise, but Carl just nodded firmly again.

After confirming Carl's order, the guard took out the key and removed the shackles from Aisha's feet.

“Thank you so much~” The woman immediately showed a grateful expression and bowed to Carl.

"No need to be so polite. I just need you to do something right now."

"Please give me your orders, sir. As long as it is within my ability, I will do it without hesitation!" She bowed again and said.

"It's not a difficult task. As a spy trained by Iren, you should have your own spies in Fengzhu Castle in Morgan County." Carl asked.

"Yes, sir, I do have friends there, some of whom even Master Aeron cannot reach. It's just that..."

The woman paused here. She seemed to roughly understand what Karl wanted her to do. A hint of hesitation appeared on her face, and she continued:

"Now that I have betrayed Aeron, he has long hated me. Once I show up in Candlelight Keep, I will most likely be targeted by his spies... If your mission is too difficult, it will most likely fail..."

"It's not that difficult. I just need you to spread a message in Fengzhu Castle." Carl said.

"If it's just that, then it's not that difficult!" After hearing what Carl said, Aisha immediately showed a relaxed expression on her face, and was even a little overjoyed. "You don't even have to go to Candlelight Castle in person, you just need to find a raven to send a few letters!"

"That would be even better~ But I need the news to spread quickly, preferably to the whole city~" Carl said with a smile.

"Of course there is no problem!" Aisha patted her chest and said, "What message does the Lord want to convey?"

"It's not a complicated message. Just one sentence: Baron Henry disobeyed the Earl's orders and secretly conspired with Carl of Rickburg!"

When he finished speaking, he saw Alia beside him looking at him in disbelief with her eyes wide open.

After Aisha left, he heard Alia say to him:

“Can we trust her?”

"Are you talking about Aisha? I saved her life, and she and Aeron have had a falling out." Carl replied, "Besides, you have to believe it even if you don't want to. After all, I don't have anyone else to use."

"That's right." Alia nodded in agreement, and then said, "But about the news that you were going for a walk...you were just drinking at the time."

"Of course, it was just a pure drinking and reminiscing about the past. As for plotting treason, Henry is not that kind of person." Carl paused here and said, "But that's not important. What's important is whether Morton believes it or not. This is called a strategy of alienation!"
