I became a mage and was recruited by the lord as his son-in-law

Today's morning was exceptionally bright, with the vast sky unobstructed. Such weather also alleviated the sadness of parting. The lord, wearing black armor and a red robe, rode on a horse. Bennett said his final goodbye to everyone in front of the carriage.

After kissing Aimee's forehead and hugging the two maids, Helen opened her arms eagerly, but Bennett just patted her shoulders.

As the carriage went farther and farther away, the lost Helen took Aimee's arm and returned to the house together.

The military camp is closed for holiday today, and the soldiers have to say their final goodbyes to their families.

The lord who arrived at the military camp did not immediately deal with the documents, but took Bennett to the military warehouse, which was full of armor, shields and various weapons. The second warehouse was full of food, not the powder of old food, but new barley and jerky.

"Thanks to you, Bennett."

"?"

Bennett looked at the tall figure in front of him, somewhat confused about what he was saying.

The lord smiled and explained, "Helen's arrival brought us food, and the leather produced by the tannery you founded was exchanged for those weapons and armor."

Bennett suddenly realized, but now was not the time to show off: "Without the leadership of the Lord, none of this would have happened."

"Well, you have to call me Lord in the barracks. You are much better than Kenny."

There was no way to respond to this. The lord did not need Bennett's answer. He had already done everything for him. He had no choice.

"Well, you should go back and check your equipment. This war is not going to be easy."

"Yes, Lord."

"Go."

A guard took Bennett to the wizard's room, looked around, picked up gems one by one from the box, and began to check if there were any dummies.

The South Gate is where Sera's army is stationed. She has the most extraordinary knights, all of whom were trained by her personally. They are loyal and disciplined. In the past, the lord would rescue people from her team from time to time, but since the end of the war in Cook's territory, the lord not only did not rescue people again, but also returned all the people he had rescued before.

She didn't understand why, but today she found out.

"Hello, Knight Sera."

"Teacher, just call me by my name. I will always be your student."

Duke nodded with relief.

"No, in the barracks you have to call me Knight Duke and I have to call you Knight Sera. We have no relationship on the battlefield. We are just cogs in the army."

Sera was not stupid, of course she knew the pros and cons of this, and without further ado, she responded directly, "Yes, Knight Duke."

A smile appeared on Duke's face. This was his proudest disciple and the future successor of the territory's army. Sera was already quite tall, but she still looked like a little girl in front of Duke. Duke looked at the burning red hair and Kenny's figure flashed in his eyes. That was his greatest pain.

Sera also noticed Duke's loneliness and asked, "What's wrong, teacher?"

This was a private inquiry, and Duke was not an unreasonable person. He did not correct Sera's address. He sighed and looked towards the west city wall.

"I was thinking about Kenny."

"What happened Kenny?"

Duke turned his head and looked at Sera. Seeing her sincere face, he remembered that the woman in front of him was not good at scheming.

"Remember the wedding that day?"

Sera's expression kept changing. She wanted to say she didn't remember, but she just couldn't open her mouth.

Duke knew about his disciple and the wizard. He had no objection to his disciple's choice, but he felt sorry for that strong and kind girl. As for Sera, he raised her as his daughter. She is the apple of his eye.

"I already know about you and that Bennett."

"teacher."

Sera's eyes were full of grievance. She had waited for decades, so why would she be willing to do that? She was just afraid that the other person would say it even more heartlessly.

Duke rubbed Sera's head and said, "Don't worry, Aimee won't have any objection to your affairs. She is a noble and her blood is the power and responsibility of the Giant Wolf family."

Sera didn't understand, and looked along the arm armor towards the old face, feeling very puzzled.

The disciple in black armor is no longer the little girl hiding in the quilt and crying. Now she really understands love, but it is a pity that this love is destined to be covered in dust.

"At the wedding, the lord gave his cloak to Aimee, but gave Kenny a sword. The emblem cloak can only be worn by the heir of the family."

Everything could be explained now. Sera suddenly realized that with Kenny's character, he was destined to leave the territory. She and Bennett had a special relationship. Aimee and Bennett had a good relationship. She was the best person to lead the army.

"Then why marry Kenny a noble wife? Doesn't the lord get married after he has a territory?"

Duke smiled bitterly and said, "He was given a wife, but he had to study magic with Bennett for decades. That was the last chance the lord gave him to stay in the territory and serve the territory with his wife. Unfortunately, he left on the wedding night without asking any questions."

The lord's plan is for the greater good, but is it good for Sera?

A relationship forced together by power was not what she wanted.

Her confused eyes were somewhat empty, and Duke felt sad for her, but since everyone has to walk their own path in life, he had no advice for her.

"Come on, I have to teach you some knowledge about war. You have to learn it well. We will definitely have a big war with the orcs in the future. You have to survive so that you will have time to be sentimental."

Sera's eyes were still filled with sadness, but she was no longer in a daze.

"Yes, I understand."

Brent is the third Black Armored Holy Blade in the territory. He is over fifty years old and has no hope of divine blessing. He has always been with Kenny. He firmly believes that Kenny will become the lord and make him the legion commander of the territory, so he has always kept in touch with Kenny.

When the lord gave the cloak to Aimee, he didn't have any thoughts. First, there were too many powerful people around Aimee, and second, Kenny could fight for a territory on his own like the lord. After all, the war with the orcs was about to begin.

He came to the west city wall, where he and Kenny were stationed. The lord should have known what he meant, so he agreed to his request directly.

"Hello, Knight Brant."

"Hello, Knight Kenny."

"I won't be a lord anymore, I didn't expect you to take the initiative to propose coming to me."

"The Giant Wolf Family is not lacking in pioneering spirit. This orc war is an opportunity."

Kenny smiled and said, "Yeah, it's clear what Dad meant by arranging a bitch like that for me."

"Don't be discouraged, Kenny, you will become great in the future. You are a person who is blessed by God."

"Of course, I will definitely have a great future."

The two smiled at each other and remained full of confidence in the future.

"Let me teach you how to fight the orcs. This is necessary for you to expand your territory in the future."

The appearance of the honorific reminded Kenny of the scene when he became the new Duke. He looked elated, but he pretended to be calm and said, "Yes, please."

Brent laughed at himself in his heart, but it was better this way. The dumber he was, the more dependent he would be on himself.

The expression on his face became more respectful, and he began to teach Kenny some useless and scattered common sense.
