[Chapter 350 Understand You]

If possible, Maloney also wanted to buy some weapons like grenades. If they could be bought, the Iron Tree Castle, which relied on the fortress, would no longer have to fear the attacks of the elves.

He felt that the possibility of negotiating this matter was not low, because the Duke of Winter, David Glamorgan, would not sit idly by and watch the Iron Tree Castle being captured by the elves. This would not be a good thing for the newly appointed Duke and would cause a major blow to his reputation.

A lot of lords in the Kingdom of Tilan were watching.

Maloney could not imagine that Duke David Glamorgan did not care about these things at all, nor did he care how the lords in Tilan saw him.

Even the capture of the Iron Tree Castle by the elves was a good thing for him, so that he could “reasonably” send troops south to drive out the elves and occupy the entire Iron Tree Castle.

To put it bluntly, he wished that the entire Kingdom of Tilan would be in chaos, and it would be best if all places except the northern plains were in chaos, and he clearly stated that he was against the Kingdom of Tilan, which would clear the obstacles for his future southward movement.

As it is now, only a small number of lords have rebelled against the Kingdom of Tilan, and most of them are still flying the flag of the Kingdom of Tilan, which makes it difficult to deal with them.

It means that he is still managing the northern plains. Otherwise, he would have to think of a reason to go south and take the land into his own hands.

At that time, it may cause dissatisfaction from all sides. After all the trouble, he still has to use force in the end. It is better to wait for the lords to rebel against the Kingdom of Tilan from the beginning, so that it is easier to deal with it himself.

Watching Maloney leave, David also got up and walked out from behind the large desk.

When he walked out of the office, Eva seemed to have talked about David coming out, and waited here specifically: “Earl Sutton-Stewart and Princess Sofia are on the rooftop.”

“Oh.”

“Do you want to notify them to come down?”

David waved his hand. He was bored sitting there all the time. He decided to go to the rooftop to find Earl Stewart, just to relax: “I’ll go find them!”

Anyway, Earl Sutton-Stewart is also considered “one of us”, so there is no need to worry too much about etiquette and regulations.

Elias next to him thought the same, so he did not object, and continued to quietly follow the Duke, pretending that he did not exist.

Going up to the top floor and then walking to the open-air rooftop, David saw Sutton-Stewart standing on the edge and looking around, and Sophia who was introducing something to her uncle.

Not far behind the two, Belfast, who was still wearing a maid outfit, was standing there. When she saw David coming, she immediately saluted and greeted him, and at the same time reminded the other two: the Duke has arrived.

“My Lord Duke!”

Sutton-Stewart turned around and saluted David as soon as possible, with some emotion on his face. He never thought that the young man who was regarded as his prey at the beginning has now stood at the top of the Kingdom of Tilan.

Although he has not become the king yet, looking at the current development trend, it is only a matter of time before the Principality of Winter becomes the Kingdom of Winter.

Sutton did not feel dissatisfied. The interior of the Kingdom of Tilan has been infiltrated like a sieve, and it is inevitable that something will go wrong.

It’s just that at that time he didn’t think that the guys in the Temple would be so cruel.

Only then did he realize how naive his original plan was.

Thinking of what the Temple had done, he was very lucky to still be able to live freely, not to mention that Duke David of Glamorgan had not treated him badly.

“What’s the matter with you coming here today?”

Sutton-Stuart’s face became much more relaxed when he heard David’s tone and words.

Just from this one question, Sutton could conclude that Duke David of Glamorgan was quite kind to him, at least he didn’t use formulaic sentences to deal with him.

“I’m here to apply for a job.”

“Ah?” David guessed a few possibilities, but he didn’t expect Sutton to come to him to apply for a job: “Apply for a job?”

“Yes.”

After a simple explanation, David realized that compared to the nobles who came to Winter City at the first time, Sutton came a little late, and most of the Stewart family’s property was “confiscated” by the Duke. The nobles who

came to Winter City after resurrection could personally identify which of their properties were their own, and spend some money to ask the Cybertronians to help dig them out.

Although they lost their houses and were far away from their own “fiefdoms”, the nobles still had their savings, which were enough for them not to worry about their current lives.

Some nobles who were in Baiyan City and did not die also had family members left in the capital of Tiran, so their property was also preserved. The

property of the nobles who failed to revive became the “trophies” of Duke David, and after being dug out, it went directly into the Duke’s private treasury.

Among them was Sutton Stewart’s property.

Although Sophia and Queen Rosie pointed out that some of the assets belonged to Sutton, there were also some assets that Sutton developed and stored separately later. The mother and daughter were not aware of it. Sutton was not present at the time, so it went into David’s pocket.

When Sutton came to Winter City, he found that his assets had shrunk significantly. After recuperation and spending money to build a luxurious and comfortable manor, he urgently needed a stable income to ensure his future affluent life.

In fact, even if the property was severely reduced, the savings in the hands of Earl Sutton-Stewart could ensure that he could spend the rest of his life without worries.

However, if he could not enjoy a luxurious life, it would be no different from death for Earl Sutton-Stewart.

In order to ensure that he could continue to live a happy life as before, he urgently needed a stable income.

“If you want to make money, there should be many ways, right?”

Winter City does not restrict business, and David even encourages his subjects to engage in commercial activities to a certain extent, so that he can collect taxes from it!

“This is not a conflict.”

It seems that in addition to wanting to do some business, Sutton is also preparing to receive a salary from David, and he feels that he is absolutely capable of earning this salary.

David looked at Sutton Stewart, and he didn’t know how to evaluate this earl: At first, Earl Stewart gave him the impression that he was just a playboy who lived on his noble status.

After a period of contact, he found that this person’s ability was not bad, and being a playboy was just his daily life.

Serving in Baiyan City to resist the attack of the Temple’s army, it can be seen that Earl Stewart’s military ability is not bad, and he can even be called strong. He is definitely one of the top commanders in the Kingdom of Tilan. It

is indeed a bit of a waste for such a talent to spend his days in debauchery.

As for the connection between Earl Stewart and the Temple, he knew at the beginning that Earl Stewart did not trust the Temple and was even wary of it. From the fact that he was not directly made into a bomb, it can be seen that he is much smarter than most of the Tilan nobles.

Other people involved with the Temple have completely disappeared from this world, and even David can’t save them.

It’s just that he underestimated the determination and ruthlessness of the Temple. He didn’t expect that the Temple would blow up all the Tilan dignitaries and pawns that he had painstakingly attracted, divided, and absorbed.

This is not his fault. Normal people would not expect such a thing to happen. It was after this incident that David labeled the Temple as “abnormal”.

“What position do you want?”

“As the Duke arranges.”

“Is that so…”

David thought about it and found that there was indeed a position suitable for Sutton-Stewart. Because that position was special, other people really couldn’t sit firmly.

“How about the commander of the Tilan Knights?”

“The Tilan Knights? You want me to lead the Tilan Knights? I will be the leader of the Knights?” Sutton-Stewart thought that David would arrange a similar position for him and do some work similar to that of an advisor.

Unexpectedly, the young Duke of Glamorgan actually handed over the Tilan Knights to him? So generous?

“No, the leader is someone else.” David said the commander, not the leader. There is still a difference between them. Moreover, he did not pretend to be mysterious. He directly pointed to Sophia standing next to him and said, “I plan to let Sophia be the leader of the Tilan Knights.”

“Oh~” Sutton immediately understood David’s idea.

After all, the Tilan Knights are the ace troops of the Tilan Kingdom. After the reorganization, the Tilan Knights also absorbed some members of the Guards Knights. This team has a very high recognition and loyalty to the Tilan royal family.

Even with the miracle of resurrection in front of them, the Tilan Knights are more in awe of the Duke of Glamorgan than loyalty.

In this case, who will be the leader of the Tilan Knights? This view gave him a headache: David did not trust the leader selected from the Knights; the leader appointed by David might cause resistance from the Knights. After

thinking about it, it is the best way to let Princess Sophia be the leader of the Tilan Knights in name only. The one who is actually responsible for the command is Earl Sutton-Stewart. As the uncle of Her Royal Highness, the members of the Tilan Knights will naturally not resist him.

“It sounds like a good position.” Earl Sutton-Stewart was very happy that his income for the rest of his life should be guaranteed, but he did not forget the “more important purpose” of his coming here today.

After exchanging glances with David, the two walked a few steps away along the edge of the roof, keeping some distance from the others on the roof.

“Since Sophia is going to be the leader of the Tiran Knights, shouldn’t some things be finalized as soon as possible?”

Seeing the difficulty on David’s face, Sutton, who had always regarded David, Duke of Glamorgan, as his lifelong confidant, naturally knew what the Duke was struggling with, and immediately gave him a reassurance:

“I’m not urging you to do anything, and no one can urge you to do something you don’t want to do now… I’m just reminding you that in Winter City, whether to marry or not? How many to marry? It’s all up to you!”
