After reviewing all the documents, Martin stood up and stretched comfortably. He looked out the window and saw that night had already fallen.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Martin responded with "Come in". The housekeeper Lilith gently opened the door and walked in.
She first bowed gracefully, and then said, "Master, dinner is ready. The master, the ladies, and Master Karen are all seated in the dining room."
Martin nodded in response: "Okay, I'll be right there."
After saying that, Martin walked towards the restaurant.
When he arrived at the restaurant, he saw that the main seat was empty and Earl White was sitting next to Martin.
Seeing this, Martin walked straight up to his father, Earl White, and said, "Father, from now on, you will sit at the head of the table during our family dinners. At home, there's no need for all the formalities."
As he said this, he helped Earl White to stand up and let him sit in the main seat.
Earl White wanted to refuse, but Martin, now a Sky Knight, had the upper hand in strength, and with a light push, he "carried" Earl White to the main seat.
Seeing this, Karen and others looked at Martin helplessly, but they were secretly glad in their hearts that Martin was still the familiar Martin and had not changed because of his improved status.
Several ladies also smiled and looked at the father and son with interest.
Seeing that he could not refuse any more, Earl White stopped insisting and slowly sat down.
Martin then looked at the housekeeper Lilith, who understood and immediately began to arrange the serving of the dishes.
Soon, the table was filled with sumptuous dishes, all prepared according to the high standards of the royal family.
Everyone sat together, chatting happily and enjoying dinner.
Somehow, the topic gradually revolved around Martin, and Martin had to deal with it in various ways.
However, the topic gradually went off track, and several ladies were eager to introduce Martin to girls, all of whom were girls from their respective families.
Upon hearing this, Martin quickly looked to Mrs. Ellie for help.
Mrs. Ellie naturally did not disappoint Martin. She took over the conversation with full confidence and successfully shifted the topic elsewhere with her strong aura.
In this way, dinner time passed slowly with various topics interweaving.
After dinner, Martin looked at Earl White and said, "Father, come with me to the study later. I have something to discuss with you."
Earl White nodded without asking any further questions. Afterwards, the two of them greeted everyone, and Martin led Earl White to the study.
Along the way, neither father nor son spoke.
After entering the study, they both sat down and drank some tea.
Martin gestured for the maid to leave. After she left, Martin said, "Father, I plan to give the royal territory to you and let you and my eldest brother Karen manage it. The royal territory will be our family's fiefdom from now on."
After hearing this, Earl White didn't respond immediately. After a moment's contemplation, he said, "Martin, I disagree with this. We're doing well in Yulong City. We have plenty of cultivation resources, and everyone takes care of everything in our lives. We're already very satisfied."
"As for the fiefdom, if you want to give it to them, ask Karen and the others what they think. You have the ability now, and while it's good to help your family, it's also your duty not to help. There's no need to try to please everyone in everything."
Martin nodded after hearing this. The two then discussed other issues concerning the territory, with Martin listening carefully to his father's opinions.
Before he knew it, it was already late, and Earl White prepared to go back to his room to rest.
Martin rose and escorted Lord White to the door.
After Earl White left, Martin also left the study, intending to wash up and rest.
As he passed by the corridor, he heard Jovian and Viola arguing, thinking that this was not common, and he couldn't help but move over out of curiosity.
As soon as he approached, he heard Qiao Wei'an questioning: "Viola, what do you want to do? Are you so eager for revenge? Don't you know that today is Martin's first family dinner in Yulong City?"
Viola stammered, "I know, but..." but she couldn't say the rest.
Jovian continued, “Viola, if you do this again, I will ask Martin to send you back, no matter what Grandma Merlin thinks.”
"I'm Martin's fiancée now, so I have to stand by his side. If you dare to mess around again, I'll give you a try!"
After hearing this, Viola remained silent. Qiao Wei'an glared at Viola angrily and turned away.
After Jovian left, Viola couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears. Martin waited for a while, then came out and said, "What revenge? Tell me about it."
Viola was startled. When she looked up and saw that it was Martin, she subconsciously wanted to leave.
However, Martin was quick-witted and grabbed her wrist.
Viola struggled desperately, but couldn't break free for a while, and could only look at Martin with pleading eyes.
Martin remained unmoved, staring at Viola. In desperation, Viola had to tell the whole story.
It turned out that Viola was brought back from outside by the Merlin family. Her father was a candidate for the Holy Son of the Star Glory Holy State, and he gave birth to her after marrying a girl from the Merlin family who possessed a special physique - the "Elemental Body".
At first, the family lived a happy life, but the good times didn't last. Her father lost the election for the Holy Son, and then he was brutally purged and both his parents were killed.
At that time, she was escorted by her father's personal guards at all costs and finally escaped to the Kingdom of Charlemagne after many twists and turns.
Later, the Merlin family found her and used a trick to fake her death to help her escape.
But Viola later found out that this trick could not fool the people of Xingyao Shengbang at all.
However, the victorious Son of God, the future Pope, stepped in to stop the further pursuit and said that he would let her marry him when she came of age.
Viola was naturally unwilling, and since then, she has been looking for opportunities...
After Viola finished speaking, Martin roughly understood the cause and effect of the matter.
I didn't expect this Saint Son to be so perverted. He killed someone's parents and wanted to marry their daughter.
Martin didn't know what to say to this girl for a moment. Although Xingyao Shengbang was also an obstacle for him to rule the Western Continent,
However, what if someone with ulterior motives spread the news that Martin White attacked Xingyao Shengbang for a woman, and thought he was a bootlicker? It would have a bad impact on his tough guy image.
