"Come on. Hey yo——"

A rough voice shouted in the fields, and then a huge waterwheel fan was slowly lifted up and installed on the edge of the stream.

The river water in the mountains flows slowly, and waves of water are picked up by water wheels, enter the channel on the side, and then slowly spread to the distance.

Although it is early spring and the weather is still very cold, these people seem to have endless energy and enthusiasm. Everyone watches the waterwheel slowly turning, and a sense of excitement and anticipation flows in their hearts.

Halfway up the hill, Gweil, wearing a dark blue dress, sat on a white chair, looking at the people below. Beside her stood Iena, and two guards were standing guard not far away.

"Is that the waterwheel that Lord Wuming mentioned?" It was the first time that Gweil saw such a thing.

"Yes, Miss. As long as we have a waterwheel, we can save a lot of manpower in irrigation in the future, and everyone will be more relaxed." Yiena had seen similar things in Tieqiu City before. Those excellent blacksmith workshops would use such things to draw water from the foot of the mountain.

"Everyone seems very happy." This was the first time that Gweil saw people smiling since she took over the territory.

"Yes, because everything is slowly getting better." Iyena explained with a little pride.

"Since the beginning of spring, under the leadership of Lord Wuming, a large amount of wasteland in the valley and along the river has been reclaimed. And according to regulations, most of it will be divided among the people, and everyone only needs to pay a small amount of grain."

Seeing that Gweil seemed confused, Iyena continued to narrate.

"This kind of behavior is actually very rare, because most nobles regard the land within their territories as private property. People who farm the land are just doing work for the nobles, and most of the land is not their own."

"Yes, this is just a simple beginning." The voice of the nameless knight came from the side. He was seen walking up the hillside step by step. The two guards hurriedly saluted him. Now everyone knew that this was the real boss of the territory.

"Good morning, Lord Wuming." Gwel lifted her skirt and bowed, then raised her head and looked at the mysterious knight. Unfortunately, she had never seen the face under the mask.

"My lord." When Iyena saw Loran Hill coming, she quickly asked the guards to bring another chair and placed it next to Gweil so that the two of them could sit together.

Afterwards, the people below gradually installed and reinforced the waterwheel, added a roof to shelter from the rain, and so on.

Looking at these people full of vigor and energy, Loran Hill felt a sense of fulfillment in his heart.

"Ms. Gweil, have you ever thought about your future?" The nameless knight sitting next to the noble girl spoke, causing Gweil's heart to tremble and she was a little caught off guard.

"Maybe I have." She tilted her head slightly and looked at the fully armored knight. Is this lord testing me?

"Oh, can you tell me about it?"

"Probably just obey your orders and do what you ask me to do." Gweil said seriously.

"This..." Loran Hill was a little surprised under the mask. This was completely different from what she expected.

She originally thought that the young lady would say something about becoming a qualified and glorious noble in the future, leading everyone in this and that, or retiring to the countryside and living a happy life by getting married and starting a family.

"Maybe you can think about what you want to do, what wishes you have, etc." Loran Hill wanted to enlighten the young lady.

"This is my wish, sir." Gweil further confirmed that this was Lord Wuming testing her.

"I know you want to do good for me, so that I can find my own happiness." Gweil looked at the open space at the foot of the mountain and spoke slowly.

"However, I am not the kind of person who yearns for unfettered freedom, because that would make me feel lost and disoriented."

"Just tell me what to do. I hope Gweil can satisfy the adults, and then you give me a little care and protection, and Gweil will be satisfied." She is a bird that cannot find the meaning of life on her own and needs others to give it to her.

"Is that so..." the knight whispered.

Loran Hill felt the emotions and feelings conveyed in the words, and gradually understood the young lady's thoughts.

Not everyone knows what they should do. Perhaps some people never find the meaning of life in their entire life, but it does not mean that such a life will be painful and a failure.

Some people have found peace in close family relationships, some have gained recognition and affirmation in the process of pursuing great careers, and some are watching their children grow up step by step with happiness and cheering for the growth of new life.

Ultimately, people are seeking recognition, perhaps from their parents, society, or history. Such recognition allows them to perceive the value of their own lives and believe that they are valuable.

"If that's the case, I can give you a promise that will put your mind at ease."

After a pause, the nameless knight slowly spoke.

"I need you, as a qualified territory manager, to lead everyone step by step towards prosperity and progress, and gradually build a beautiful home."

"As a promise, I promise to protect your safety, to keep you safe from bullying, and to ensure you live under a peaceful roof. Even if time passes and you no longer hold any position or status, I will still ensure that you have a comfortable and peaceful living environment, free from external disturbances, and can spend the rest of your life in peace."

The low, rusty voice was not beautiful, so low, but in Gweil's ears, it was like a ray of light, gradually breaking through the void and filling her heart.
