Lord: Married To A Countess At The Beginning

For a big noble like the Earl of the Kingdom, the development order is actually not difficult to obtain.

However, there are so many noble children in the entire kingdom, but there are very few noble children who are really willing to use the development order to open up territory.

And among the very few aristocratic children who had such ambitions to open up territories, they basically ended in failure.

Actually this is normal.

After all, it has been nearly a thousand years since the kingdom was established.

From a weak territory at the beginning, to a huge kingdom.

The surrounding land that is easy to open has already been developed to an extent.

To say that hundreds of years ago, those ambitious young people still had the opportunity to open up their own businesses. At that time, a large number of nobles were born in the kingdom.

The Field family and the Harrington family both stood out at that time and are still standing today.

However, there is only so much land and the cake is only so big.

For hundreds of years, those fertile, safe and easy-to-open places have long been occupied by our ancestors.

Those who come first will be full, while those who come later will starve to death.

The reality is so cruel.

Do you think the people competing for your job are your peers?

No, it was your ancestors who competed with you for your job, and they overturned the table after they were full.

In the past two hundred years, no family in the kingdom has been able to join the ranks of the nobility by opening up territories.

Gray glanced at Tina outside the door. He didn't directly talk about the development order.

Although the Development Order is not very rare, it can only be obtained by a noble nobleman above the earl level.

This is the rule of the kingdom.

It is not an easy matter to open up a territory.

The manpower, force, and financial resources required are extremely terrifying figures.

On the surface, the kingdom claims that as long as people with lofty ideals can open up territories, the reality is that if you don’t have money, no one, and no influence, you can’t open a territory.

In order to prevent anyone from wanting to become a lord out of curiosity, the kingdom stipulates that if you want to obtain a development order, you must obtain the approval of the kingdom's finance minister.

Or maybe it was recommended by a powerful noble.

Otherwise, ordinary people with nothing but nothing would stop dreaming about becoming a lord.

Gray himself is a son of a nobleman. If a big nobleman writes a letter of recommendation, it is not difficult to get a development order.

But he needs to meet his wife, Countess Anna.

At the same time, he also needs to consider how to persuade the other party to help.

Although the Countess is now very friendly towards him, even doting on him, Gray also knows that it is because in the Countess' heart, he is just a pretty boy for her to play with.

If you say that you want to open up your own territory.

I don't know if the countess who dotes on him will continue to support him so much.

Putting himself in his shoes, Gray found it difficult for him to agree.

It will probably be difficult to convince the Countess.

He had to prepare himself first.

Before that, his thoughts cannot be revealed.

Otherwise, the countess would be wary and it would be even harder to convince her.

"Tina, I've been in the castle for the past few days and I'm a little bored. Let's go out for a walk. Speaking of which, I seem to have never been to Thorn City."

Gray said to Tina with a smile.

Tina nodded obediently after hearing this, and then immediately asked someone to prepare for Gray's outing.

After Gray drank a cup of black tea, the carriage and attendants were already in place.

Gray boarded the carriage accompanied by Tina, and then the carriage slowly drove out of the castle under the driving of the coachman.

Both sides of the carriage were guarded by soldiers armed with spears, swords and shields. Gray even saw knights wearing knight armor and warriors in different costumes but with formidable momentum.

Well, judging from the strength of these guards, the countess really takes herself seriously.

But why doesn't she always see him?

Gray couldn't figure it out and decided not to.

With the guards leading the way, the carriage drove on the wide road.

There are shops and stalls all around. Medieval architectural styles can be seen everywhere here. There are tall houses made of stone and wood everywhere. It rained lightly in the morning, and now there is still a lot of mud on the road.

Gray looked out the window at the civilians wearing simple clothes sewn from coarse cloth and sighed slightly.

Even though he already knew the situation of ordinary people in this world in his memory, he still felt a little complicated after seeing it with his own eyes.

In this world of fighting spirit and magic, the people at the bottom still have not received the dividends brought by extraordinary power.

Whether it was the Middle Ages in the previous life or the nobles of this world, they regarded common people as a special kind of livestock in their own territories.

It is enough for them to maintain the basic life and safety of these civilians, and they will not worry about whether the civilians live a good life or whether they are happy or unhappy.

Because in their eyes, civilians are no different from the cattle and sheep in their own pastures.

As long as you don't die.

Just when Gray was feeling the cruelty of this world, a faint fragrance approached.

"Is there anything you are worried about, Master Gray?"

Tina followed Gray's line of sight and glanced out the window and found that everything was normal and there was nothing wrong. She thought Gray was sighing because of what happened outside.

"No, I have nothing to worry about right now."

Gray shook his head. He glanced at Tina who was getting closer. When he looked at the maid up close, he realized that her skin was very delicate and smooth, which was different from the skin of foreign women he remembered from his previous life.

On the contrary, it is as moist as an oriental woman.

And I have to say that Tina's appearance is very good. While she has a straight nose and deep eyes like a Westerner, she also has the gentle facial contours and black hair and black eyes of an Eastern beauty.

She is a beauty.

And it's very fragrant.

I don't know if it's perfume or deodorant.

Gray couldn't help but take two more breaths of the fragrant air.

But when he looked up, he happened to see the expressionless face of the maid.

Judging from the position of the two of them just now, from the perspective of the maid lady, he should be a pervert who took advantage of her to breathe in her breath when she was close...

Gray was a little embarrassed. He didn't mean it, he just subconsciously leaned in and sniffed.

It's really subconscious.

Just as he was about to say something, Tina had already sat down in her seat. She adjusted the clothes around her neck and looked at Gray with a look that looked at garbage.

Just now Gray's nose was right here.

Gray coughed lightly: "You smell quite good..."

After saying this, he regretted it.

He originally planned to talk about something casually to divert attention.

I didn't expect that this sentence would come out of my mouth.

I feel like a guy who took advantage and acted like a good boy.

As expected, Tina's eyes had upgraded from looking at trash to looking at enemies.

"I mean you gave me inspiration. I can make a unique bottle of perfume for you when I go back."

Gray tried his best to save his image.

"Ah."

The maid sneered and sat silently at the seat furthest away from Gray.

"Master Gray, although you are Lady Anna's husband, I still hope you understand that Lady Anna may still be testing you. I will report your frivolous and rude behavior just now to Lady Anna truthfully. In addition, I will take the initiative to give you a gift." It’s very suspicious to have a pure girl’s perfume.”

The maid lady said the longest sentence she had said in the past few days.

Then he just stared at Gray and said nothing.

Gray stopped talking. He had nothing to say. He was already a gangster.

The carriage became quiet for a moment.

Gray was thinking that it would be more difficult for him to obtain the development order, and the shelf life of his status as a tool might end tonight.

On the other side, Tina was sneering in her heart.

In the past few days, she had thought Gray was an honest man who abided by the rules.

She ended up bah!

This guy definitely likes to touch maids like other nobles.

She must tell Lady Anna about Gray's bitter side.
