Chapter 237 Toby's Plea

"I've told you long ago that your brother will cause trouble for us sooner or later."

Marion's brother-in-law complained.

"Now you've offended Richard. Don't you know who he is? He even captured the little princess of the Jeff royal family alive."

"Don't tell me this. You've spent a lot of the gold coins Marion sent you over the years. What's the point of saying this now?"

Marion's sister, thanks to the gold coins offered by Marion, had a relatively high status among her husband's dozens of partners.

"If it weren't for the gold coins sent by Marion, where would you get the money to marry dozens of wives?"

……

Richard, who was practicing in the castle, received a communication request from Toby.

Richard took out the magic device and Toby's voice came out from it.

"Richard, are you okay? How was the Vendre Port I arranged for you? It was great, wasn't it?"

"I'm fine, thanks for your help."

Without Toby's help, Richard would not have been able to become the lord of the wealthy earldom of Port Vendre.

During this period of time, Richard has gained a deeper understanding of the income of Port Wandel.

If he continued to collect taxes according to his plan, the annual gold coin income of the entire Port of Wandel would probably exceed 10 million gold coins.

Ten million gold coins can buy a set of high-end equipment.

It is definitely a rare territory in the earldom, and only Richard can become the lord of Port Vendel because of his relationship with Toby, the heir to the Duke.

"By the way, Richard, I have another matter to contact you today."

Toby told Richard the main purpose of contacting him today.

It turned out that seeing Marion being imprisoned by Richard, he wanted to hold him accountable for the gold coins he had embezzled.

Marion's sister and brother-in-law had no choice but to find Toby and ask him to mediate.

"Marion's brother-in-law is a direct descendant of our Dover family after all. If you want to be honest, I have to call him uncle."

Toby's mocking tone came out from the magic device.

"Since my uncle has found his nephew, I have to give him some face. Richard, how about this? Isn't Osmond's legendary dagger going to be auctioned in Port Vendre? The gold coins that Marion embezzled will be deducted from my share."

Richard was silent for a while. As the heir to the Duke of Dover, Toby held a high position of power, but because of his status, he had to intercede for Marion's brother-in-law.

"Toby, I won't hide it from you. Do you know how much gold coins Marion embezzled? More than 30 million gold coins."

"Do you really want to pay this much for an uncle you may not have any contact with on a regular basis?"

Toby was silent for a while, and when he recalled how his uncle had been vague in his words just now, he finally realized the problem.

However, after a long time, he still said: "Richard, let's do as I said before!"

Although he was the heir chosen by the Duke of Dover, he also had to convince some elders of the Dover family, and family unity was an important factor in the elders' assessment.

Richard agreed. This amount was not a small amount of money for Toby, but it was not something he couldn't afford.

And Richard would not try to be nice in front of Toby and refuse the 30 million gold coins.

Because according to Richard's plan, the development of Port Vendel is not just what it is now, there is also a lot of money to be spent.

Richard and Toby exchanged a few more pleasantries before disconnecting their communication.

Marion was immediately released by Richard, who only allowed him to leave Port Vendre with his private army.

Now, Marion did not dare to have any resentment towards Richard. He left the teleportation hall directly with his subordinates.

"Richard, what's wrong with you?"

Elsa noticed that Richard was in a bad mood and took the initiative to sit in Richard's arms.

"It's just that I saw my friend Toby came to me in person because of a small family matter. It seems that the family has become a burden to him."

Richard thought of his family again, which seemed to be a mess as well, but fortunately, Xavier's family was very small, so even if he offended others, Richard could handle it with his current abilities.

But what about the future?

Richard may have his own children in the future and develop his own family. I wonder if his family will be like the Dover family in the future.

"Richard, you are really thinking too far ahead."

Although Elsa didn't understand the nobility in the wizarding world, she knew about tribes.

“Although there are some bad people in the tribe, we can only survive with the help of all the tribesmen.”

"makes sense."

Richard also felt that his thoughts had been a little confused recently, as if something was about to happen.

"Richard, but have you ever thought about what our future children will be like?"

Elsa's words interrupted Richard's thoughts. Richard looked at Elsa in his arms, with bright eyes and white teeth, and she was very charming.

These days, with the help of Margaret, Elsa also learned how to put on makeup. Women seem to have an extraordinary talent for beauty. Elsa's makeup makes her already beautiful face even more gorgeous.

However, Richard is already a high-level professional, and Elsa is also a level six warrior, so it is difficult for the two to have children.

Richard had never thought of using contraception in the past, but neither Elsa nor Margaret showed any signs of pregnancy, despite Richard's repeated efforts.

"No matter what he looks like, as long as he is our child, I like him."

Elsa looked at her belly. There was no fat on her abdomen and it seemed like there was no movement at all!

"Richard, I want to have your child. Shall we continue to try tonight?"

"Don't do it at night, do it now!"

Richard waved his hand, and magic closed the door of the training room.

"Tell me the truth, is it because you missed me that you came to me during my training time?"

Under the orange light, Elsa's wheat-colored skin is even more attractive.

"Of course I miss you. You don't know how many times I have thought of you in the past year. But with Sister Margaret here these days, I dare not be too presumptuous."

Elsa's words made Richard feel a little distressed.

With Elsa's combat power as a level six warrior, it can be said that she can crush Margaret, but it is only because of Richard that she has more respect for Margaret.

She even treated Margaret as her elder sister, thus ensuring her status as the eldest wife.

Even in bed, Elsa was very humble to Margaret.

"Thank you for your hard work, Elsa."

Richard couldn't help but kiss Elsa on the mouth, and Elsa responded to Richard eagerly.

Ten minutes later, their lips slowly separated, but a transparent thread still connected them.

"Since you know how hard I work, you should reward me well."

Elsa's face flushed and her eyes were seductive.

"I'm here to reward you."
