I became a mage and was recruited by the lord as his son-in-law
Chapter 20 The Intercepted Caravan (2)
"How did the news spread so quickly?"
"Several merchants and their men started spreading the news before Kent came to town."
The lord narrowed his eyes and ordered, "Catch them all and ask what happened."
"Yes."
The captain handed the order to his men and continued to follow the lord.
The camp didn't need him anymore, the lord's speech just now was very powerful, it could be heard in every corner of the camp, and the soldiers also saw the scene outside.
The young soldiers' eyes were now full of enthusiasm, and they stood their guard in a much straighter posture. They were in good order, with no trace of the panic and quarreling they had just shown.
"Which tent is Kent in?"
"At this."
The head of the regiment led everyone to the tent in the center, where the Kents were lying. The soldier next to them was feeding the Kents with hot soup, but unfortunately the soldier didn't know how to take care of people, so it was unknown how much soup went into their mouths. Bennett took the bowl from the soldier, but unfortunately he was taken care of by a servant, so he almost got the soup into his nose. Finally, Sera took the bowl, and poor Kent was taken care of in a decent way.
"My Lord, can I bring my parents home now?"
"No, but I can send a few servants over to take care of them."
Bennett wanted to say something else, but Aimee held her back. They couldn't let anyone out alone, otherwise if everyone's family members came to make trouble, there would be a big mess.
At this time, the doctor outside came in.
"Doctor, how are my parents now?"
"Don't worry, your father is just old, hungry and tired and fainted, he will wake up soon. Your mother is fine too, she just fell asleep due to exhaustion."
The doctor came over, flipped the Kents' eyelids, and left again.
"You guys stay here, I'll go check on the others."
The lord also left.
After the three people's anxious waiting, Kent finally woke up. His eye sockets were sunken, but his eyes were firm. He held his stomach and wanted to get up. Sera put a pillow behind his back.
"Where am I?"
"Dad, this is a military camp."
"Where are the others with me?"
"They are all in the military camp."
"Has the Lord arrived?"
"It's outside now."
"Take me to see the Lord."
Kent struggled to get up, and Sera also wanted to help him, but Bennett quickly stopped them.
"Dad, just lie still. I'll ask Aimee to get the lord."
"Yes, I'll go inform my father."
Aimee said and ran out.
"How can I let the lord come to see me? Do you have any sense?"
Bennett didn't know how to respond to this. People of this era seemed to think that this was normal, but in Bennett's heart, his father was much more important than that lord.
"Dad, don't go on business again when you come back this time."
"What nonsense are you talking about? As long as the lord needs me, I will continue to do business."
In fact, the Bennett family is not short of money at all, and the Kents have been almost role models of work in the territory over the years. However, Kent feels that it is the lord who has given him everything, and he always talks about repaying the lord, especially after Bennett and Aimee got engaged, this behavior has become even more extreme.
Bennett did not deny that the lord had helped the Kent family, but Kent was too tired, especially after being busy in the past few years. Few of his hair had color left. In his early years, Kent followed the lord on expeditions and fought in many battles. He got married in his thirties and was already middle-aged when he had Bennett. He should not continue to work so hard.
At this time, Aimee came back with the lord.
"Anything better, Kent."
"Much better, my lord."
"What happened? Did you encounter robbers?"
"No, our goods, supplies and luggage were all detained."
"Who detained him?"
"It's the Cook family."
The lord showed no expression after hearing this, and nodded slightly: "Yes, I understand."
At this time, the lord glanced at Bennett, and then said to Kent: "Old friend, you have made a lot of efforts for the development of the territory over the years. It's time to consider retirement."
The lord is indeed a good boss. Look how well he did it. Bennett's mood instantly improved a lot.
The lord left.
Bennett happily gave Kent a big hug. Sera was obviously very happy too. What was even more gratifying was that her mother also woke up at this time.
Sera quickly helped her mother up. Bennett's mother was more than ten years younger than Kent and in much better condition. She looked at the father and son hugging each other and said in confusion, "Is there no one to give me a hug?"
"Of course, Mother."
Bennett gave his mother another big hug.
Now everyone was very happy, except old Kent. He was really retired now, and maybe he was not used to it yet. He looked dull and at a loss. However, in Bennett's opinion, this was not a bad thing, it was just a common problem for retired people.
The mother was not sad at all when she heard the news of retirement. She had accompanied Kent around all these years. Although she had no complaints, she did not like such a life. The most important thing was that she could not see Bennett grow up, which was the most difficult thing for a mother.
Kent finally came back to his senses, but he was not happy at all. His eyebrows stood up, his eyes widened, and the veins on his head popped out: "Bennett, what have you done? Get out of here."
But no one was worried about it at all. Instead, they watched old Kent lose his temper with a smile. The mother even handed the pillow to Kent kindly, and then the pillow flew onto Bennett's head.
Everyone laughed at this moment, which made Kent even angrier, but he was very weak now, so he simply lay down and smothered his head with the quilt.
Kent always gave people a sense of security and reliability. This was the first time in all those years that Bennett saw Kent lose his temper. This did not affect the harmony of the family, but made everyone feel more intimate. His mother even patted old Kent's quilt as if she was coaxing a child. She also thought that Kent was very interesting.
"Okay, okay, you all go out. Let Sera stay here with us. Kent doesn't want to see you two now." Mother patted Kent's quilt and said with a smile.
Aimee and Bennett smiled at each other and went out happily. Before leaving, Aimee looked back at Sera, but Sera was talking to her mother and didn't notice.
The two returned to Bennett's home. The house was cleaned very well by the nanny, and they felt relieved. Now the lord was still checking the caravan's statements, and they could go home after everyone woke up.
In the evening, Sera came back driving the carriage. Bennett wanted to help his parents, but the nanny knew what was going on and slapped his hand down, leaving Bennett standing there in embarrassment.
Kent was still angry. When he saw Bennett, he snorted coldly. His mother smiled and gave Bennett a hug and kissed Aimee on the face. The fierce Aimee actually became shy.
Bennett's incredible expression made Aimee feel offended, but Bennett's parents were still there and did not teach him a lesson on the spot.
The next day, Bennett got up again, holding his waist. Aimee had already gone out for training. The little maid blushed as she put down the breakfast and told Bennett, "Master, the lord asked you to go to the study at nine o'clock."
