Come to another world and become a lord

Henry was on his way to Candle Castle, with his nephew William as his guard. The old knight was in a very happy mood at this time. The business with the Chamber of Commerce in Rick Castle went smoothly. All four chambers of commerce paid deposits, and the first batch of goods officially went into production. Not long after that, Karl came to him to discuss the production in Graven Valley.

This includes the planting and harvesting of perfume raw materials: a piece of land will be set aside in the Greven Valley to provide the flowers and spice plants needed for the production of various perfumes, and Rickburg will also purchase them regularly at a price higher than the market price. A vodka distillery will also be established, and local people will be recruited as employees. Of course, the daily operation of the distillery will also be fully managed by Carl, and all employees must sign a three-year technical confidentiality agreement, otherwise Rickburg will have the right to impose criminal penalties on those who violate the agreement.

Henry basically agreed with this. After all, that was Carl's invention, and it was reasonable to protect his own business secrets and prevent the leakage of anti-technology. In his opinion, it was good enough that the other party was willing to make money with him.

As for the marriage proposal he put forward, Carl has not yet given a clear response, but he is not too worried. He can't think of any reason why the other party would refuse such a win-win proposal. Moreover, with this business cooperation, the relationship between the two territories will become closer, and the exchanges of personnel will become ordinary. Under such a premise, the marriage between the two families seems to be a foregone conclusion.

Well, when the two of them are officially married, Rick County and Greven Valley will be one family, which will be more conducive for Carl to do his work without having to worry too much about confidentiality. His daughter will have someone to rely on from now on, and in a few years, he may be able to hold his grandchildren. The future will be better and better.

Henry was thinking in his mind as he walked, a smile unconsciously rising up on the corners of his mouth.

On the stone steps leading to the main castle, he suddenly met Aeron who was walking towards him. The latter looked at him with surprise and then said:

"Henry? Why are you here?"

Henry smiled and replied:

"Ah~ Lord Morton invited me to dinner. And... I haven't apologized to him for the incident in Porter Village yet, so this is just right~"

"Oh~" Iren nodded thoughtfully, and then focused his attention on William, who was wearing knight armor and a sword on his belt, "Who is this?"

Henry was in a very good mood at this time, and replied happily:

"Ah~ This is my nephew William~ He must have worked hard as my bodyguard along the way."

"Oh, it's my nephew..."

Iren spoke as if he was talking to himself, and looked at William suspiciously, then said to him seriously:

"Since you are uncle and nephew, you must fulfill your duty as a guard and protect your uncle well."

"Of course. My uncle has been very kind to me, and I will protect him even at the cost of my life." William replied proudly.

"Yeah." After hearing his words, Aeron just nodded emotionlessly.

"Oh, by the way, Lord Aeron, did you just come out from Lord Morton's place?" Henry asked casually.

"Yeah." Henry nodded again, and then said, "My lord summoned me this morning and asked me for some things, um...some things I have used before."

Henry then asked:

"Oh? What is that? Tell me about it."

But Aeron shook his head and said hesitantly:

"Nothing, just some cheap stuff. Probably...nothing..."

He seemed to be hesitant to speak, and finally looked at Henry:

"Oh, by the way, since you are invited by your master, I won't bother you. I wish you a pleasant evening."

"Yeah, you too." Henry nodded.

As the two of them parted, he seemed to hear Iren muttering to himself:

"Probably...not..."

The banquet hall of Candle Castle was brightly lit, but not many people came. Apart from Henry, there was only Baron Snow Bertie, known as Lord Torture. He was a burly middle-aged man. Henry had only met him once and didn't know him very well. He only knew that his territory was in the southernmost part of Morgan Territory and he seldom came to Candle Castle. But today, he unexpectedly appeared beside Morton.

Morton, as usual, sat at a long table covered with food. Several beautiful maids in short skirts with exposed thighs surrounded him, serving him wine and food and asking for all kinds of rewards in a coquettish tone.

After seeing Henry, he immediately greeted him warmly to sit down, and then ordered the maids to leave. Then he turned around and complained to Henry:

"Look at these women. They are never satisfied. They are like vampires. They won't stop until they drain me dry. That's why we can't hire servants who are too pretty in the castle."

"But the fact that you are loved by so many beautiful girls shows how charming you are," Snow said on the side.

"Humph, they don't fancy me, they fancy my treasury." Morton complained, then looked at Henry and asked, "What do you think Henry? Do you think these women fancy me or my money?"

"I'm not sure about that. Grey Castle is relatively small and there have never been so many servants. There are only a few male servants and elderly women." Henry answered cautiously.

"I heard that Baron Henry has not remarried since his wife died," Snow said again.

"Ah, that's true." Morton replied, "I remember you only have one daughter, not a son. How can this be possible? Otherwise, why don't you pick a few of these girls that you like and take them back?"

"This..." Henry immediately showed an embarrassment on his face.

Morton laughed and added:

"Okay, I know you're in love, so I won't tease you anymore. Let's talk about business. I heard that you and Rickburg Carl are getting along very well recently~"

"That's true. I have proposed to Carl before that I want to marry my daughter to him." Henry said. When he talked about betrothing Selena to Carl, William who was stationed behind him shook unconsciously.

Morton noticed this detail. He glanced at William, who looked indignant, then turned his gaze back to Henry and continued:

"Your people refused to fight him in Porter Village, and now you are planning to marry your daughter to him?"

"I am ashamed of what happened in Porter Village." Henry said with his head down in guilt, "And I am marrying my daughter to him to make up for this mistake."

"Oh? What's the reason for this? Tell me about it." Morton immediately became interested and asked with a smile.

"Selena is my only daughter. She will definitely inherit my title in the future. As a member of the Grete family, she will continue to be loyal to you and your family. The children she and Carl will have in the future will also continue to abide by the ancient oath and serve the Morgan family all their lives..."

"That is to say, when Carl dies and his son inherits the title, Rick County will automatically be incorporated into my territory, or it may already be my son by then..." Morton said calmly.

"That's right..." Henry replied.

After hearing Henry's story, Snow agreed and said:

"This is indeed a good idea. We can get Reikburg without bloodshed. Moreover, Reikburg is of great significance. It is a key transportation hub connecting the north. Whoever owns it will have the initiative between the north and the south. They can even bargain between the Great Khan and the King. At that time, everyone will have to give us some face."

"This is a win-win solution for both sides. We don't have to be enemies with Rickburg anymore." Henry added.

Morton leaned back in his chair. He thought quietly for a while, then clapped his hands and laughed.

"Yes, it is indeed good! Baron Henry has gone to such great lengths for Lord Morgan. Shouldn't we raise a toast to him for this?"

As he spoke, he raised his glass high, and Snow also raised his glass.

At this moment, a maid also came up to Henry and filled his glass with wine.

"Come on!" Morton continued to shout, "Henry won Rick Castle for us with such a clever trick, let's toast to him!"

"To Baron Henry!" Snow echoed.

Amid the praise and cheers from the two, Henry picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in it.
