Edward: "?"
Li Aili: "Look, if they hadn't had this experience of betrayal, and I hired 16 Golden Knights with no blemishes and entrusted them to you for management, would you be confident in managing them well?"
Silver Knight Edward said awkwardly, "Madam, I'm afraid I'm not up to the task."
Li Aili said meaningfully, "So, do you understand now?"
Edward looked at the wise lady, bewildered.
Li Aili advised, "You don't need to accept them as companions."
“I will not allow them to change their pledge of allegiance to me.”
Why should a faithful person be persuaded to accept an unfaithful one?
This is rigid logic.
"Just think of him as an assistant I hired for you."
"Think of yourself as the shepherd, and they are the sheep."
"The shepherd is not a companion to the sheep; the shepherd only needs to manage the flock and profit from it."
Knight Edward seemed to understand, but also seemed not to fully grasp it.
But in any case, a new door to life opened in his mind.
Li Aili put down her empty teacup and smiled slightly.
"Like Ba Jin Niu Tizi, who worked at the alchemy shop, I don't need him to be a noble minotaur; I just need him to generate profits for me."
"As long as Ba Jin generates enough profit, I don't care how many 'desire drugs' he sold behind my back."
Edward understood.
He stood up abruptly. "Madam, I know what to do!"
Li Aili: "That's wonderful..."
Before he could finish speaking, Edward, his face flushed and his heart pounding, said, "I'll go and take good care of them right away, and while I'm at it, I'll think of a good way to get them to create value for you, Madam!"
Li Aili: "..."
After saying that, Edward excitedly strode away.
Today I unexpectedly gained 16 Golden Knight workers.
Li Aili sighed.
This is a Gold Knight, you know. Arthur must be pretty short of Gold Knights.
Unfortunately, Arthur's Knights were destined not to accept the 'Black Knight'.
Working for her is fine, but joining the Knights...
Oh, what a tragedy.
A certain king would often send 16 golden knights to tend to his horses.
Knight Balk is also of the Gold rank, but he has already become the leader of the Blue Agate Knights.
...
At dinner, Ellie invited Edward to have a 'working lunch' at the restaurant on the south side of the castle.
"Go ask those knights what their ideal monthly salary is."
Edward was bewildered and deeply shocked. "Do we have to pay the 'sheep' a salary?"
Li Aili: "Don't sheep need to be fed grass?"
Edward: "..."
Li Aili guessed that those self-conscious knights wouldn't answer the question either.
She said, "Here's what you do: go to the Adventurers' Guild in the city and find out how much it would cost to hire a Gold Knight for a year. Then pay them that salary."
"If they refuse, ask them what they plan to feed the horses. Good horses eat oats, otherwise they'll lose weight."
"Oh, right, get ready and let everyone know we're leaving tomorrow for the Bird Demon Fortress."
...
After a busy day, it was time for everyone to go to bed.
Whenever Li Aili had a moment to herself, all she could think about was that kiss in the carriage!
Before she decided to completely forget about it!!
They all sleep on the south side!
