Chapter 328 Alice leaves!

After chatting for a while in the space, Gervis and his companions left the space. At this moment, it was already dark outside the space, and dinner in the castle was ready.

Today's dinner can be said to be unprecedentedly sumptuous, even better than the Rose Castle. The long table was filled with a variety of delicacies, including golden grilled oysters, steamed lobster, mushroom stew, charcoal-grilled monster meat and so on.

Of course, the most attractive thing on the long table is still the Monster meat. Tonight Jimmy cooked two kinds of Monster meat, one is the Monster meat of tri-color deer, and the other is the meat of swift-shadow cheetah.

The monster meat of the tri-colored deer is for Nathan, Bonita and others to eat. As for the monster meat of the swift cheetah, only Gervis, Alice and Gandalf can eat it.

Gandalf was able to eat it because he was Gervase's father. Now that Alice was present, and it was not a banquet, the priority still needed to be distinguished.

However, Nathan, Bonita and Vivian would not care about this detail. They had already been attracted by the nearly one pound of tri-colored venison in front of them.

Nathan and Bonita were both fortunate enough to eat it once or twice, especially Bonita. Gandalf was reluctant to eat the monster meat that Gervase gave to him, so he often used it as a snack for Bonita and Darius.

Vivian tasted the monster meat for the first time. She was not used to the greasy barbecue at first, but after tasting the monster meat, she could no longer put down her knife and fork.

Everyone had a harmonious dinner. Although Alice didn't talk much during the meal, it was basically Gervase and Gandalf who did the talking. But Alice didn't have her usual aloof and majestic look. Instead, she was more approachable. If Gandalf and Nathan didn't know that Gervase and Alice were only husband and wife in name only, they would have really looked like the master and mistress of the castle.

After dinner, Alice and Gervis read for a while in the study. They went to bed early because they both had busy days the next day.

The Rose Knights' horses are all safe, so Alice can set off to return to Rose Castle tomorrow morning.

And tomorrow, Gervis will gather the serfs of Storm Territory to publicly provide compensation to the fallen soldiers and reward the meritorious soldiers.

In addition, tomorrow afternoon, Gervis plans to have the pirate crew drive the ship to take them around the area to make final preparations for his revenge plan.

Because Gervis was worried that other pirate ships might still be near Storm Territory. Even if the number of people was small, they were still a threat.

…

The next morning, Gervis woke up early and rang the bell on the bedside as usual, but he rang it twice and found no one came in.

"Huh? Where did Anna go today?"

"It's a bit degenerate! Never mind, I'll just wear it myself!"

After waiting for a while, Anna still didn't show up. Gervis felt a little strange, but finally he got dressed and washed himself. Gervis was now truly accustomed to the corrupt life of a noble lord.

Thinking back to when he first came to Storm Territory, Gervis was not used to the service of servants, but later he accepted it calmly, and now he has become accustomed to Anna, the little maid, helping him get up in the morning.

After sighing and washing up, Gervis walked out of the bedroom.

"Alice! Good morning!"

When Gervis walked out of the bedroom door, he knew where Anna had gone.

It turned out that the little maid Anna had been requisitioned by Alice again. No wonder no one came after he had been shaking for a long time.

At this moment, Anna was following Alice out of the bedroom opposite.

Of course, Alice did not share a bedroom with Gervis during the two days she stayed in the Golden Castle, nor did she live in the guest room on the second floor. Instead, she cleared out a bedroom opposite Gervis's door and stayed there temporarily. Gervis had no children anyway, and there were plenty of rooms on the third floor of the castle.

"Grevith, good morning!"

Alice may have also heard the sound of Gervis ringing the bell just now. Now she was caught by Gervis when she was taking Anna out. Her expression was a little unnatural.

"Come on, let's go have breakfast!"

Gervis smiled and guessed what Alice was embarrassed about, but as a grown man, it was okay for him to do it himself. After all, it was just putting on clothes and washing his face.

But it was different for noble ladies like Alice. Her hair needed servants to comb and her clothes and accessories needed servants to take care of them. Fortunately, Alice was naturally beautiful with fair and smooth skin, so she didn't need to apply pearl powder or blush or anything like that.

…

"Gervis, you'd better prepare more food and fodder for this southern expedition. I heard that the king has made up his mind to deal with the Duchy of Alban as soon as possible, so you must be mentally prepared. This southern expedition may take longer."

At the foot of the gentle slope of the Golden Castle, Alice was already riding on horseback, and behind her were more than 150 cavalrymen of the Rose Knights. After breakfast, Alice officially set out to return to the Rose Castle.

"Okay Alice, I'll be ready! Just be careful on your way!"

Gervis nodded and made note of the matter.

Although if the feudal lord's conscription order lasts for more than two months, the king will have to pay for their food and fodder, but sometimes they still have to bring their own food and fodder, which will only be converted into coins and distributed to them after the war is over.

After all, there are so many soldiers under the command of so many different nobles, and there is no unified logistics. If the king really wants to distribute food and fodder on the spot, it will inevitably cause a lot of chaos.

"Yes! Thank you for the gift! Gervis!"

"Let's go!"

After saying that, Alice said no more and gave an order behind her. The team of more than 150 people slowly moved, and with the rose flag fluttering, they slowly headed towards the direction of Binhai Town.

Gervis stood at the foot of the gentle slope and watched Alice's team slowly go away. He did not look away until the team left the coastal town.

The fact that Alice could come in person this time really exceeded Gervis's expectations, and she almost lost dozens of top-quality war horses because of it.

So, when Alice left, Gervis generously gave Alice half of a Swift Cheetah's magical meat, as well as two large bottles of unfinished magic wine.

After sending Alice off, Gervis, Gandalf and the others returned directly to the castle. Gandalf and the others were free to move around, but Gervis entered the training space.

When it was almost noon and he was practicing in the practice space, Gervis came to the front hall again.

"Sir, everything in the town has been arranged. All the people in the town are waiting in the town square as you ordered!"

As soon as Gervis arrived in the lobby, Thomas ran over and reported to Gervis.

"Very good Thomas, I'll go take a shower and be there soon! You take the carriage over first!"

"Yes! Sir!"

What Thomas reported was that Gervis was going to provide pensions and rewards to the soldiers. Although Gervis's pension and reward activities were a bit of a show, such a ceremony was necessary. It not only strengthened the loyalty of the soldiers, but also inspired the serfs' sense of belonging to the territory.

Soon, Gervis took a quick shower, dressed himself, and came to the town square.

At this moment, the town square was already densely packed with serfs, and on several wooden poles at the edge of the town, there were several corpses hanging. These corpses were the titled knights of the pirate group.

There was another one that belonged to Benny. Gervais had deliberately shot Benny in the thigh that day in order to capture Benny alive.

But man proposes, God disposes. Benny did not die from Gervis' gun, but was trampled to death by the pirates who charged at him.

Of course, the pirates did not intend to trample Benny to death. It was just that the charging team was densely packed, and the few people in the front could still avoid Benny, but the people in the back had their vision completely blocked. During the charge, at least dozens of people stepped on Benny's body, directly ending Benny's sinful life.

"My Lord!"

"My Lord!"

When Gervis came to the platform, all the serfs knelt down respectfully and saluted, kneeling down in a rush.

That day, they were tricked by Thomas and taken to the edge of the territory, thus avoiding the fate of being robbed and killed by pirates. After they returned, everyone was shocked to realize the existence of pirates.

Later, they heard that the lord was injured, which made the serfs very worried. They were afraid that Gervis would pass away, and if that happened, they would have to return to their previous poor life.

In the past few days, many serfs have been praying to God secretly, hoping that God can bless their lord to recover, because they are reluctant to give up the bread they can get once a week, the sturdy stone houses built for them by Gervis, and even more reluctant to give up the good thing of exchanging grapes for money next year.

Although Gervis did not devote too much energy to the serfs when he came to the territory, he was actually affecting the lives of the serfs without them realizing it.
