As a princess, Selena has always been graceful and elegant, and there are not many things in the world that can embarrass her.

Now it was related to Anna, so Rosen knew that his mentor should have returned to Shire County.

Then he would definitely not be able to delay keeping the Flame Legion.

Because the Earl had written him several letters before, but he had always responded with vague answers. Now, the Earl must have told his tutor about this.

He took the letter from Selena and sat down on the bench in the inner warm room. Selena leaned on his shoulder and they read the letter together.

The spell mark on the letter was still sealed, which meant that Selena hadn't read it yet.

I took out the letter and opened the envelope. Suddenly, a soft fragrance wafted out. It was the alchemical perfume called 'Ocean Dream' that my instructor liked the most.

Serena sniffed lightly and commented, "The scent is slightly different from before. It seems that Lockwood Perfume Shop has released a new Ocean Dream."

"Any changes?"

Rosen carefully distinguished them and nodded in agreement: "It seems to be a little different. I'll send someone to buy a few."

Selena immediately shook her head: "There's no need to spend this money, business is more important."

She always kept in mind the future vision that Rosen had once described at the Blue Whale Mansion.

Rosen gently rubbed his wife's cheek, opened the letter and read:

'Greetings from my dearest friend Serena and the apprentice who loves to take advantage of his mentor.'

Upon hearing this, Selena breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest gently.

"Anna really understands me. She knows that those bad ideas were not mine."

Rosen chuckled and continued reading.

'Winter is about to end. I am returning to my hometown with joy, intending to spend a wonderful Winter Veil Festival with my brother and sister-in-law.'

'I also missed my dearest friend Serena and wondered if my apprentice had taken good care of her, but now it seems that I was worrying too much.'

"Oh~ I can't wait to meet Anna."

Selena clasped her hands in front of her chest, her face full of anticipation.

'After I got home, I met my eldest sister-in-law, who praised me for teaching a good apprentice. Just when I was secretly proud of myself, my eldest brother said, 'This little bastard you taught played tricks on me!'

'I was very surprised, and then I asked my eldest brother about what happened. It turned out that what happened was really beyond my expectation.'

"Now, Baron White Island, my naughty apprentice, shouldn't you come to the Shire as soon as possible and explain the whole thing to your mentor and his family?"

There is not much content and it ends here.

After reading, Rosen and Selena looked at each other.

Selena avoided his gaze, looking embarrassed.

They did this together, with Rosen taking the lead and her cooperating.

If she was facing anyone else instead of Anna, she would have done it with a clear conscience.

But Anna couldn't face it.

Rosen knew what she was thinking without her saying anything. He spread his hands and said, "My dear, all the bad ideas were mine. You just cooperated with me. Now that the instructor is questioning you, it's my responsibility to solve it."

He raised his hand again, pulled Selena into his arms, and comforted her with a gentle voice.

"Don't worry dear, I won't let you face this embarrassing situation."

"I'm going to go to Shire County first. When you meet my mentor, I'm sure the matter will be solved perfectly by me."

Selena's embarrassment eased a lot, and she began to worry about her husband again: "Are you sure it's okay for you to go there alone?"

Rosen smiled: "If the tutor is not here, then it would be a bit of a problem. But if the tutor is here, then at most I would just get a few scoldings from the Earl."

He deliberately delayed the matter until now just to wait for his tutor to come back.

Selena asked, "Are you coming over now?"

"Tomorrow, there are still some matters to be arranged in the territory, and I also need to prepare well."

He carefully put away the letter and handed it to Selena for safekeeping, then activated the puppet and asked it to go to the government study and send an order to Yop who was training on the beach to "act with caution and stop provoking the fishmen."

Finally, some arrangements were made regarding the affairs of the territory.

His real body went to the magic laboratory and packed the latest batch of low-end magic weapons one by one.

These magical instruments are very, very low-end, almost as low as dust, so low that most ordinary people can afford them and use them.

But the magical knowledge contained in the magic weapons is not low-end at all. Some of the secret techniques are even the most advanced among all the magic weapons he has sold in the past.

The strategy it adopted was naturally the usual 'taking the grassroots mass line and surrounding the cities from the countryside'.

He packed about five large boxes, four of which were given to his wife Selena along with a letter and a list, and asked her to hand them over when the merchant Aji came over.

I took a separate box with me, which I intended to take to Shire County.

His first purpose in going to Shire was to persuade the Earl to support him.

At the same time, there is another important purpose, which is to go to the Earl's family library and check the historical materials to see if there is any relevant knowledge about banshees and murlocs.

In addition to low-end magic weapons, he also took some high-level induced arcane defense magic weapons, but these things were used as gifts to do favors.

Once you are ready, it's business as usual.

When resting at night, he hugged his wife's warm and soft body and was about to relax, but was stopped by her.

"no."

"ah?"

"The little bad guys are coming."

Rosen understood as soon as he heard it, and put his hand on his wife's lower abdomen to feel it.

He felt two very secret auras, one lively and energetic, the other quiet as water, but both faintly echoed his power.

This sense of resonance is extremely subtle, a sensitivity only possessed by mages above the fifth ring, who can easily confirm whether it is their own bloodline.

Of course, Selena was pregnant with his blood, because the two of them worked very hard whenever they had free time.

Rosen leaned behind Serena's ear, looking delighted: "One boy and one girl, how great."

With the arrival of these twins, he will be truly qualified to compete for the title of Duke.

Serena shrank her neck, feeling a little uneasy: "It happened too quickly, I thought it would take at least one or two years."

So what usually happens is that there will be no children for one to three years at first, and then they will have children one after another.

As a result, Selena came before the three-month mark.

"Anna and her husband have been married for three years and still don't have a child."

Rosen needs to be fast, and the reason why he is so fast is inseparable from his secret efforts.

Because in those days, the infant mortality rate was relatively high, not only in ordinary families, but also in the lords' families.

If a child is under three years old, he is gone in an instant, so in the general public's perception, an heir under three years old can only be counted as half an heir at most.

If a baby is still plump and healthy and lives to be over three years old, then as long as he is well taken care of and does not commit suicide, he can basically live to adulthood.

Therefore, the child must come early, which can greatly stabilize the people's hearts at the critical moment.

He comforted her softly, "My dear lady, this just proves the harmony of our magical powers. The child will definitely be very healthy when he is born."

"Hmm~~That's right."

Serena was greatly comforted. She turned around and hugged Rosen and said, "I knew I made the right choice."

Rosen thought for a moment and said, "Don't announce this for now. I will also raise the alert level of the Black Guards to the highest level. In addition, Alia will stay with you."

Seeing that Serena was about to object, he said softly: "Alia's fighting spirit has been promoted to the fourth-level fighting master. She is also alert. I feel relieved to have her by your side."

Of course it wasn't a natural promotion, but he quietly assisted in it.

"We must also make good use of Intelligence Officer Stonard. He is very good at gathering intelligence and is absolutely loyal. I will also have him raise the castle's alert level to the highest level."

"Now, I'm not in danger, but you are, because there are definitely many people who don't want our child to be born."

"But don't worry, as long as the news is not leaked, it's not dangerous. Because the baby came early and avoided the dangerous period."

It is almost an iron rule that a mage couple will have children only after a year, with rare exceptions, so this becomes a blind spot in thinking.

Now, he has not yet gained momentum and has received little attention, which is the perfect time to have a baby.

Serena understood: "Honey, I understand."

But that's not enough.

Rosen also planned to secretly cast some fate blessing spells on Selena and the surrounding areas of Crescent Castle to completely hide the matter of the child and avoid being spied on by interested parties to the greatest extent possible.

No words were spoken that night.

Early the next morning, Rosen was fully prepared. He put on his warm leather windbreaker, picked up his suitcase, got on the carriage, and left Crescent Castle as his wife saw him off.

When the lord travels, he is naturally escorted by guards, but at the same time, Rosen also brings a newly built No. 3 puppet.

As for puppet number 2, it will stay in Crescent Castle. In case of any special events, Selena can take control and save the situation.

Along the way, Rosen hid in the dark, and Puppet No. 3 came out.

The roads from Crescent City to Sturgeon Wharf have all been tempered, and are wide and smooth, allowing horse-drawn carriages to run very fast.

They arrived at the dock in a short while. The Baron Guard, consisting of 10 senior knights and 20 mid-level knights, boarded a small to medium-sized wooden cargo ship over 40 meters long and set off from the port.

The wind was favorable and the boat was not big, so we were sailing very fast.

We set off at 7 o'clock in the morning and crossed the Fengxi Strait at 9:30 and arrived at the Suijin Wharf in Xialin City.

Because it was a public mission that required identification, he immediately found the dock management office after landing and asked one of the escort knights to report his identity.

The dock supervisor was a middle-aged man with a big belly and a half-bald head. Rosen's database contained information about this guy. His name was "Goldlin" and he was a bully who only cared about the weak and the strong.

He chatted with the guard knight for a few words, then walked towards Rosen with a smile on his face.

When he arrived, he smiled before speaking: "My Lord Baron, the Earl ordered me to wait for your arrival here. He said that as soon as you arrive, you should go directly to Maple Leaf Castle."

"By the way, the Earl has also prepared a carriage for you and horses for your escort knights."

He nodded and pointed to the warehouse next to the dock management office, with an extremely friendly attitude.

Things are different now.

Everyone in Xialin City knew that the White Sturgeon Baron across the sea had received a generous dowry from the princess and was extremely wealthy. He had recruited many people from Xialin City at high prices.

Goldrin has a relative who makes a living on the White Sturgeon Island. He earns a very good salary, and even he is a little envious.

Rosen nodded calmly: "Then I'll trouble the supervisor."

Ordinary people are like this, their minds are as ethereal as duckweed. They may feel inexplicable contempt for strangers because of some rumors, and they may also feel inexplicable respect for strangers for the same reason.

As for Rosen, the ten-ring soul gave him an extremely tenacious heart. He would not get angry because of other people's arrogance, nor would he be complacent because of other people's respect.

But proper etiquette still needs to be observed.

Because there are more villains than gentlemen in the world, and he also needs to create a wealthy image of White Sturgeon Island in order to reverse the general contempt of the world for White Sturgeon Island.

Because only when people feel yearning for it will more people be willing to join him.

Considering that the dock supervisor seemed to have a glamorous job but actually only had an annual salary of over 80 Oggs, he handed over a bounty of 5 Oggs.

As expected, Goldrin was so happy that he lost his mind and bent over with his chin almost touching the ground.

They got on the carriage and the escort knights mounted their horses and hurried all the way to Maple Leaf Castle.

Along the way, his escorting knights could be seen looking around with surprise in their eyes, apparently dazzled by the scenery of the big city.

Although this country-bumpkin look is a bit embarrassing, it doesn't matter. I can just take it out for a few more walks.

Soon we arrived at the Maple Leaf Castle.

Maple Leaf Castle also received the news early, and the butler Abru was waiting at the entrance of the drawbridge outside the castle.

As soon as he saw the carriage, he immediately stepped up to greet it and said respectfully, "My Lord Baron, the Earl has ordered that you go directly to him when you arrive."

Compared to last time, this treatment is really much higher.

Rosen smiled: "Then please lead the way, Mr. Abreu."

I appear calm on the surface, but I'm still a little nervous inside.

Because I am about to meet my tutor, I am a little worried about being scolded by him.

Don't panic, book friends, the main plot of this book is about the development of the lord, and it will not be closed one by one. It is like a deep-sea banshee who seeks pleasure all day long. How can mortals afford it?
