Come to another world and become a lord

Carl was eating lunch when he heard the guard's report. He was so shocked that he almost knocked over his bowl. Then he shouted anxiously:

"Where is she now?"

"We sent her to the church, and now the priest there is treating her injuries..." the guard said with some stammering.

The cathedral of Reikberg is also located in the inner city. It is a three-story independent building not far from the main hall. A not-too-long walkway connects it to the main building. The roof adopts a semi-arc dome design. In this era, only a first-class architect can complete such a roof. On it is painted a picture of the goddess Xia leading the angels to descend.

When Carl found Selena, she was lying in the church ward, wearing only a torn nightgown, barefoot, and covered in mud and blood. Two women dressed as nuns were cleaning her wounds and feeding her medicine, and Alia was standing beside her.

After seeing Carl, they both stood up and saluted him.

"How is she?" Carl asked.

"It's nothing serious. There are some scratches on the body, but they are not deep. It's mainly because he is too tired and seems to be frightened." One of them replied.

"She seemed to have run all the way here. When the guard at the gate found her, she had fainted from exhaustion," Alia added.

"So, what exactly happened?" Carl asked in some confusion. Wasn't everything fine a while ago? It hasn't been long since the coming-of-age banquet ended. Looking at Selena's condition, something must have happened to Greyburg, but the question is what could have happened?

While he was thinking, the nun who was feeding the medicine suddenly stood up and exclaimed:

"My Lord, she is awake~"

Wake up? Hearing this, Karl hurried forward and heard Selena calling out in a weak voice:

"Lord Carl..."

"I'm right here!" Carl knelt down and held the other's hand.

Then I heard the girl continue to speak in a broken voice:

"Father... was murdered..."

Henry was murdered? Carl's heart skipped a beat.

"My cousin... killed my father..."

Henry's nephew William killed Henry? But why? Such shocking information shocked Carl like a thunderclap.

"Please avenge my father..." After saying this, she fainted again.

After that, Selena slept for a whole day before she recovered. During this time, as information about Candlewood Keep from Elsa continued to come through the raven messenger, Carl gradually understood the whole story: it was Morton who actually designed to kill Henry, and William was an accomplice who betrayed his uncle.

The reason seemed to be very simple, because Henry helped him in Porter Village, which led to the defeat of Aeron and the failure of Morton's plan. As for the reason for William's betrayal, it was even more incredible.

"It's because Henry planned to marry Selena to me that he became rebellious. It's really ridiculous." Carl cursed angrily.

"He thinks he will marry his cousin in the future and inherit Greyburg, so he treats you as the third party." Alia said on the side.

"He doesn't understand that even if I wasn't there, Henry wouldn't marry his daughter to him." When Karl said this, he was not only angry, but also somewhat contemptuous of the fool. He knew Henry. Henry believed in the way of chivalry, but he was definitely not an inflexible person. Although he loved his daughter, in addition to wanting her to be happy, he also hoped that her marriage could play the greatest political value, so he would never choose William.

Carl sighed softly, then grabbed the sword in the room and tied it around his waist.

Alia looked at him silently and asked in a calm tone:

"Are you sure you want to do this? The changes in Greyburg are an internal dispute within their family. Logically, we have no right to interfere. The only one who can interfere is their Lord Morton."

Yes, Alia was right. This was an internal matter of the Grey family, and even more so of the Morgan Territory. I was just an outsider. However, the mastermind of everything was Morton. If I stayed out of it, it was self-evident what would happen to Selena.

He heard Arya still explaining:

"If we send troops because of this, it would mean interfering in the internal affairs of Morgan Territory. You know what that means, right~"

Carl smiled and said:

"It means that we might go into a full-scale war with Morton!"

"Yeah~" Alia nodded seriously, but said nothing more.

This made Carl curious:

"So you're not going to stop me this time?"

But Alia just said:

"I am only responsible for reminding you of the interests involved. As for you, no matter what decision you make, I trust you."

The two smiled at each other, then walked out of the room together. At this time, on the parade ground outside the door, the Fire Rose Guard had already assembled. The 12 Fire Rose sisters were all wearing armor, riding on war horses, ready to go.

Carl looked around, and then focused his attention on another person outside the Fire Rose Guard. That person was none other than Henry's daughter Selena.

At this time, Selena had taken off her dress and put on a suit of armor. Her petite body was wrapped in layers of heavy chain mail, and her beautiful hair was now covered in a cold helmet. She seemed to be a little shaky on the horse, but she still gritted her teeth and stubbornly held the reins to stabilize her body.

Karl looked at her, then asked with concern:

"Are you... okay?"

The girl nodded vigorously.

Carl continued with a hint of guilt:

"I know this is a bit of a stretch, but William must have asked for help, and now every second counts."

"I'm fine... Lord Carl..." the girl said through gritted teeth.

"I say, is this really necessary?" Alia said with some distress. She looked at Selena and said, "You don't have to force yourself. We can handle it."

"Thank you for your concern... Lady Alia, but I have to go. This is my territory, my family... I must avenge my father personally..." At this time, Selena's eyes showed more determination.

She was stronger than expected. She had encountered misfortune in her family and nearly lost her life. Most people would either be immersed in grief or retreat in fear. But she was able to adjust her mood immediately and knew exactly what she should do. This might be the quality that an heir to the title should have, or in other words, only with this kind of mentality can one survive in the cruel political struggle. Carl looked at the girl's stubborn figure, then patted Alia on the shoulder:

"Selena is right, she must go. She is the legitimate heir to the valley. Only if she shows up can William be defeated!"

Then he shouted to the Fire Rose Guards behind him:

"Everyone, follow me! Reclaim Greyburg for Miss Selena, the only legitimate heir to the Valley!"
