The rising sun bloomed with gentle sunlight, illuminating the entire territory. The Pompeii Castle also seemed to be dyed with gold and became golden.
In Luther's room.
The bed had been replaced by a wooden bed, with a thin blanket and a pillow on the bed. Luther lay on the bed and slept soundly in only his shorts, with the window and door open.
Because it is too hot in summer and autumn in Pompeii, Luther needs necessary ventilation.
Sunlight streamed in through the window and shone on Luther's legs. At that moment, Luther was actually awake. However, because it was a leisurely time in the morning and there wasn't much going on in the territory recently, Luther decided to sleep.
A lazy sleep.
As a result, not long after, Luther felt his nostrils were a little itchy, and Luther opened his eyes helplessly.
What caught my eye was an exquisite little lolita.
Lily, Pompeii, this little loli is lying on the bed, taking a piece of grass from nowhere in his hand and sweeping it around his nostrils.
Seeing Luther wake up, Lily smiled happily.
"Slob."
Luther rolled his eyes, sat up from the bed, hugged Lily, and put her under the bed. Then he got off the bed, put on his shoes and started to get dressed.
"Lily, you are a lady from a noble family. You should be reserved and reserved. It is so unladylike to come to a man's room early in the morning."
Luther said while getting dressed.
"Whoever wants to be a lady, I, Lily Pompeii, will become a female knight sooner or later, and she will be stronger than Luther and Pompeii. When the time comes, I will ask Luther to go east, but he will not dare to go west."
Lily puffed up her little chest and said proudly.
"In one year and two months, I will be eight years old." Lily quickly added.
Luther's eyes have completely become hygienic since he promised this little loli last time that he would teach her knight training when she was eight years old.
This little loli wakes her up every day and constantly reminds Luther that she has grown up day by day.
Stingy, vindictive, and very persistent.
A loli named Lily is definitely not easy to mess with.
However, Luther would occasionally send this little loli. After getting dressed, Luther said to the little loli: "Lily, help me call little Maya over."
"Oh." Little Loli didn't realize that she was being sent, and as if she was doing a favor to a friend, she happily called Lily over.
Soon, the cute little Maya arrived wearing a maid outfit and small round leather shoes.
Even little Maya still has a sullen face, she would look cute if she smiled.
"Little Maya, I want two large pieces of bread, two glasses of milk, and three pieces of steak for breakfast." Luther said quickly.
"Okay, I'll go give instructions to the kitchen immediately." Little Maya nodded, and then ran away quickly on her small round-toe shoes.
What a serious and responsible little maid.
"Lily, it's time for you to go to cultural classes, right?" Luther reminded Lily after little Maya left.
Not realizing that she was being disliked, Lily remembered that she still had to go to class and quickly said to Luther: "Goodbye, Luther."
After saying that, he ran away quickly.
Luther felt that his ears were much clearer. After exhaling a breath, Luther stretched, washed himself, and ate breakfast under the service of little Maya.
Then Luther came to his study and read for a while.
Since there are no cultural classes, Luther can freely allocate time in the morning. If there is anything in the territory, Luther will deal with it first.
Of course, most of them have nothing to do, and even if there is something, Lelouch will handle it. So Luther is very leisurely in the morning, reading a book.
At the moment, Luther is reading a novel about chivalry.
A very conventional novel, the story of a wandering knight who rescued a princess from the clutches of a giant dragon, became her husband, and was made an earl by the king.
Old fashioned.
But from inside, Luther can still understand the giant dragon in this world.
Quite useful.
"Knight Luther, the Brazilian knight is back and has brought a group of five to six hundred free people. Mayor Lelouch wants you to go to the city hall."
At this time, a guard walked in.
Because he became an official knight and took charge of the entire Pompeii territory. As the next generation of Pompeii knights who were respected by the territory.
Except for those close to him, outsiders all call Luther the Knight of Luther.
"Okay." Luther nodded and sent the guards away. Then Luther took a black hat from the hanger and put it on, went downstairs, left Pompeii Castle and arrived at the city hall.
In Lelouch's office, Luther met Lelouch and the Brazilian knight.
The Brazilian knight is a young man with a very ordinary appearance but a very strong physique. His surname is Solon. He is Luther's cousin, Newton, and a member of Solon's clan.
According to seniority, Luther should call the Brazilian knight his brother.
However, Luther is currently the next generation knight of Pompeii, and the Brazilian knight is the guard knight of the Pompeii family. Both parties are monarchs and ministers.
"Knight Luther." The Brazilian knight took the lead in saluting Luther.
"Brazilian knight, thank you for your hard work." Luther returned the gift and said thank you for your hard work.
Immediately, Luther asked the Brazilian Knight to sit down, and he also took out a chair and sat down. After sitting down, Luther asked: "How is the work of the Knight of Stone? Is it going well?"
"It went quite smoothly. It was easy to obtain permission from the Parker family to recruit free people in the city of Sparta. However, the territory of the Parker family is currently very chaotic due to the actions of Marquis Parker. There are many people who have no land and no freedom to work.
civil."
The Brazilian knight briefly told Luther what happened.
Luther nodded, "Ston, Pompeii, is indeed the strongest and most experienced knight among the knights of the Pompeii family who are currently making a living outside."
Expatriate assignments are definitely the first choice.
"Just because the Pompeii Territory is close to the forest, the free people are more doubtful about the Pompeii Territory's ability to defend against attacks by monsters and dragons. The recruitment work can only be done bit by bit. The first batch is 532 people, not counting
Knight Kidston plans to recruit six to seven thousand people in the Parker Territory, and then go to another earl's territory to purchase three to four thousand serfs."
The Brazilian knight said again.
After Luther heard about it, he was not surprised. Because it was a fact. Even within this year, Pompeii was very safe.
But in fact, since the establishment of Pompeii territory, it has been accompanied by bloodshed.
Warcraft, giant dragons, and even some humanoid races in the forest will appear from time to time. There were even many times when the Pompeii family's castle was breached.
It happened many times over a long period of hundreds of years.
Therefore, although the Pompeii family owned this territory and had the right to expand into the forest, the size of the territory never increased.
important reason.
The time when the Pompeii family is most powerful should be now.
