This is the route Luther has always taken. The people of Pompeii are happy, and Luther is certainly happier.

So, Luther thought he should do something as the autumn harvest was approaching.

"Carnival?" Lelouch became slightly interested.

"Hire a circus. After the autumn harvest, have it perform throughout Pompeii for thirty consecutive days, traveling from village to village."

Luther said excitedly.

"This is a good idea. Hiring a circus is not expensive. Compared with hiring a mercenary group to eliminate thieves, it is just a small amount of money. But it can also express the love of the Pompeii lord for the peasants, especially the new peasants who joined the Pompeii territory, which can help them further establish a sense of belonging."

Lelouch thought Luther's idea was great.

"You underestimate me." Luther showed a mischievous look on his face.

"Is there any hidden meaning?" Lelouch was a little surprised.

"We hired a circus to hold a carnival. Of course, carnivals require food and drink, such as alcohol, sausages, barbecue, etc. Farmers are not knights. Knights can eat meat every day, but farmers usually eat a little during the autumn harvest to satisfy their cravings. And this year's harvest is very good, so they should have a big meal, right? Not only food and drink, but after this year's harvest, farmers have money in their hands, so they should spend money on other things, right? Buy a new set of clothes for their wives and children, add a little more salt to the dishes that they didn't dare to add before, and replace the old furniture with new ones? These are all business."

Luther said with a smile, like a shrewd and cunning fox.

As a lord, Luther's main task is to lead the territory towards a well-off life, and as a greedy lord, Luther's idea is to squeeze every copper coin out of the hands of his subjects.

Luther wants to stimulate consumption and tell people that money is not for hiding, but for spending and enjoying a better life.

By the way, the Pompeii family will also make a lot of money.

"Luther, you are such a profiteer." Lelouch blinked, which looked a little funny with his big mustache.

"Hahaha." Luther laughed happily.

So it was settled that after the autumn harvest this year, the Pompeii family hired a circus to come to their territory to perform and have a carnival.

Before that, look for a good circus.

Luther then left the town hall and hurried back to Pompeii, where he found Madame Sophie in her study, where she was concentrating on writing something.

After not seeing her for many days, Mrs. Sophie is still as elegant and mature as ever.

But Luther could see that the mother looked unhappy and a little angry. Thinking that his father should have returned to Pompeii Castle first, Luther guessed that his father had offended his mother in some way.

"Mom, you seem a little angry. Which blind guy has offended you? I will teach him a lesson for you." Luther and Mrs. Sophie had a very good relationship, so Luther said this deliberately in order to make Mrs. Sophie happy.

"Pfft." Mrs. Sophie burst out laughing, and could no longer write in the account book. She put down her pen and said to Luther in a complaining tone, "It's your father. He went out for so long this time, and he went out again right after he came back. He said he was going to the forest to practice asceticism, but who would believe it?"

Mrs. Sophie had an expression that said, "I see through her."

Luther understood immediately that his mother misunderstood that his father went out to meet his mistress. So his mother was angry. There was nothing wrong with this, women are like that.

"You're right. Dad really went to the deep forest to practice hard this time." Luther explained to his father with a smile.

It's not about seeking justice for my dad, but about making my mom happy.

"Really?" Mrs. Sophie was a little skeptical.

"Really, Dad gained some insights from this battle, so he went to the forest to practice." Luther nodded and said.

After Luther reiterated it again and again, Mrs. Sophie finally believed it. The wrinkles between her brows were smoothed out, and she showed a happy smile.

"Okay, Luther, just tell me what's on your mind." Mrs. Sophie smiled happily, straightened her posture, and said to Luther.

"You're right, every time you come to see me you have something, and never once do you come to chat with me." Mrs. Sophie rolled her eyes at Luther.

Luther was ashamed when he heard this. It was true. Every time he came to see his mother, he had something to tell her, and never chatted.

If the family business is compared to a company, then he is the chairman and his mother becomes the general manager.

Luther felt a little ashamed in his heart because his mother was so good to him.

Luther decided to chat with his mother more often in the future, but forget about it today, because serious matters are more important. So Luther told his mother about his thoughts.

"Then I'll ask the purchasing team to buy more cloth, salt and other daily necessities. As for opening taverns and hotels, let's wait until the adventurers in Pompeii become popular. Otherwise, it will be too expensive to open a hotel without customers." After hearing this, Mrs. Sophie also thought this made sense, so she nodded and said.

"Sorry to bother you, Mom." Luther said respectfully and solemnly.

"Okay, go back to where you came from. I still have accounts to settle." Luther's attitude amused Mrs. Sophie. Mrs. Sophie smiled and waved her hand to tell Luther to go away.

"Okay." Luther rolled away in a second.

After leaving his mother's study, Luther thought about what else he needed to do, but there was really nothing. So Luther decided to take a good bath and relax.

Because little Maya wants to be a wizard lady, no, a wizard maid, little Maya is very obsessed with the identity of a maid.

So Luther did not recruit a new personal maid, so he just found a maid in the castle to fetch water, and then started to take a happy bath.

Wash, wash, wash, wash.

This trip is a long journey. Being outside in the wind and sun, there is nothing more refreshing than taking a shower and having a good sleep after returning home.

Luther happily hummed a bath song while taking a bath, changed into a clean set of pajamas, and then, regardless of the fact that it was still bright outside, he lay down on the bed and did not move.

I closed my eyes and soon fell into a dream.

Luther also had a dream, but this dream was a little scary. Luther met Miss Ruth again in the dream world. In the dream world, Luther had become a real earl.

Became the ruler of Orange, the leader of the House of Pompey, Count Pompey, Grand Knight, Luther, Lord Pompey.

At this time, Luther met Miss Ruth.

After a pleasant conversation, the two began to make love, but after the pleasure, Miss Ruth suddenly opened her mouth, revealing two sharp fangs, wanting to suck blood.

It turns out that Miss Ruth has become a vampire.

The dream woke up at this moment, and Luther was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Luther sat on the bed for a while in shock, then he got up, put on his slippers, opened the window, and looked out. It was already daytime outside.

A new day.

Luther's mood also became cheerful.

Meow, meow, meow.
