In the days of rebirth as a lord

After everything was dealt with, and returning to the castle, Conrad hurried to Cecil and said that he had something to say.

Cecil gave the soldiers land as a reward, something he hadn't told Conrad before.Conrad, who was temporarily in charge of His Highness's financial power, said: "Your Highness, you have treated the soldiers generously enough, and you don't need to give them any land at all! There is only so much land in Ott Village. If there are more soldiers A little, or a few more wars, isn’t that not enough land?” Cecil straightened his expression and asked Conrad: “Housekeeper, have you forgotten that I am not just a small village like Ott Village? The lord of the state, but the lord of the entire Galiata state?" Conrad was speechless, of course he remembered, but isn't this only in charge of Ott Village now?Countless villages, large and small towns outside Ott Village are still under the control of other barons, earls and even dukes. Even if His Highness is the lord, so what?

Seeing that Conrad still didn't understand, Cecil had to explain to the loyal old steward: "When the land in Otto Village is not enough to distribute to the soldiers, I think I can control more land than Otto Village. A small piece of land. When the land in Galiata is not enough, there will be no place on the continent under our feet that I can't set foot on. Give the soldiers a tax-free share of the land, so they can feed more families Even relatives and friends, in order to own those lands for a long time, these people will naturally support me as the lord from the bottom of their hearts, this will be an extremely powerful force, and it will be the foundation for me to consolidate the territory."

Of course, his ambitions are not that big, and Cecil is content to take back the state of Galiata that should belong to him.But Conrad didn't know!He was stunned for a while, and then he was moved to tears by Cecil's rhetoric.It never occurred to him that His Highness is no longer that little prince who drifts with the tide but can do nothing. He has extremely lofty ambitions and will definitely become a great lord in the future!

As expected, I am old and can no longer keep up with His Highness's great ambitions. The only thing I can do is to help His Highness manage the servants and take good care of His Highness's life.As for other matters, His Highness has his own decision, and it is no longer something he can say arbitrarily.

His Royal Highness, who pointed out Jiangshan and scolded Fang Qiu during the day, started to feel hairy at night.

Although Cecil had seen a lot of bloody scenes before today, they had to resist for self-protection.But Pickle's death was different, it was Cecil's own order, and he was hanged when Pickle had lost the ability to resist, which meant that the person who killed Pickle was Cecil!

Cecil, who had never killed a chicken in two lifetimes, was inevitably a little psychologically uncomfortable when he killed someone for the first time.It's not suitable to sleep alone at this time, otherwise you will definitely have nightmares at night, and calling a personal vigil is the best choice.

But who to choose?Conrad was too old, and he would definitely be startled and worried when he found out. The other servants, Cecil, didn't really believe it. After thinking about it, only one person chose the shepherd's words.

So that night, Cecil, who never needed a vigil, stopped Mu Ziyu.

"Mu Ziyu, um...how is your injury?" Mu Ziyu's wound was not deep, and after applying medicine and bandaging it was no longer serious: "It's fine, Your Highness, don't worry."

Cecil continued hesitantly: "But it will take some time to heal after all, um...your room is dimly lit, and not dry and warm enough, so it is not very beneficial for healing..." Your Highness Does this mean that the accommodation conditions of the guards are not good enough?

Mu Ziyu immediately said: "Your Highness, you are too worried. The room we live in is not afraid of wind and rain, and there are warm quilts. It is not cold at night. Your Highness, you have been very generous to us, and everyone will remember it in our hearts. Very grateful."

It's not because he is sympathetic to his subordinates, but because Cecil, who is a little selfish, feels his ears are hot: "I mean, my room is spacious and bright, and there is a fireplace at night, so it's warm and not humid. It's more helpful to think about it." Rehabilitation... Would you like to come to my room to stay for a few days? You are the commander of the patrolling guards, the sooner you recover the better, isn't it?" Mu Ziyu's heart beat wildly, and he could clearly hear the words heartbeat.Your Highness, are you inviting him to live with you?

He didn't hesitate for too long, quickly calmed down his excitement, and replied, "Your Highness makes sense."

Cecil suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone became relaxed and cheerful: "Then it's settled, I happen to have a bench in my study room, which is quite spacious, not narrower than the bed in the room you live in now, there is Sometimes I would lie down on it when I was tired from work. After a while, someone will move that bench to my bedroom, and you won’t feel aggrieved if you sleep on it these days.”

"Alright Your Highness." Mu Ziyu said.

In the evening, after actually staying in a room, Cecil felt a little awkward again for no reason.They each lay down in their own sleeping places, Cecil didn't speak, and Mu Ziyu naturally didn't talk too much.As a result, the air became quiet, and Cecil felt quite uncomfortable due to the embarrassment.

Cecil took the lead in finding something to talk about: "Muziyu, were you afraid when you killed someone for the first time?" Muziyu replied: "No, I was being arrested at that time, and I would become a prisoner if I didn't resist. So I killed a few guards in Border Town. But in the end, I was caught and sold to a slave trader to become a slave. Fortunately, I met His Highness. This is such good luck that I couldn't have imagined before."

"Not at all..." Cecil felt ashamed, but he didn't expect Mu Ziyu to remember his kindness for such a long time with his sympathy at that time, "You have helped me a lot now, no You and I could have been held captive by robbers yesterday."

"No." Mu Ziyu retorted with certainty, "Your Highness has knowledge from the God Realm, even without me, this village can run well, and I was lucky to meet His Highness when His Highness was short of manpower. And I am glad that I am a useful person to His Highness."

Cecil, whose face was a little red, decisively stopped and continued to blow each other, and changed the subject: "Do you know the existence of extraordinary power?" Mu Ziyu replied: "I have only heard of it, but I have never actually seen it. It is said that The Church of Light can allow the archbishops in the church to have the power of light. In addition, the witches captured by the church are said to have the power of evil witchcraft, but Fang Bo is also called a witch doctor, but I am sure He doesn't have any extraordinary power, he just knows the usage of some herbs through the knowledge accumulated and passed down from his ancestors."

There is no light in the room, only the fireplace has a faint fire, which is indistinct.Cecil couldn't see Mu Ziyu's expression when he said this, but he could also tell that Mu Ziyu didn't believe in the so-called power of light and witchcraft.

"Then if... I mean, if you have a chance to obtain extraordinary power, how would you choose?" Cecil asked tentatively.
