Chapter 153: Ridiculous Lord

After visiting the financial headquarters, Sophia took Ethan to see other industries.

The two also went shopping together.

Ethan didn't know what Sophia's purpose was, anyway, he just strolled around the city for an afternoon.

And for some reason, Maro City has been repairing roads everywhere recently, and there are potholes everywhere, so that carriages can't pass.

Ethan was already half dead tired, and he encountered a road repair that was rare in decades. He could only walk on his two legs. It was really hard to say.

Actually! It's not that the body is tired, but the spirit is very tired. I just want to find a place to have a good sleep.

But after finally finishing an afternoon trip, Ethan still couldn't rest after returning home.

After saying goodbye to Sophia, he walked to a reception room under the guidance of a maid.

Along the way, Ethan frowned all the time.

"Just a few months ago, Sophia treated me as a consumable, but now..."

"This change is really puzzling."

"Is it just because I became a great swordsman?"

"It doesn't make sense!"

"Even if you want to get married, there is no need to give up the power in your hands!"

"What does she want to do?"

"What good luck have I had recently?"

"Before, a beautiful elf rushed to throw herself into my arms and gave me the elixir of immortality as a dowry."

"Now, my sister-in-law has packed up all her property and sent it to me."

"This world is really crazy."

Ethan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Unconsciously, he found the place.

Pushing open the door, he saw the two knights who had rebelled before, sitting upright on the chairs waiting for him.

When Embiid and Kemp saw Ethan, they immediately stood up and saluted.

Ethan didn't even look at the two of them, walked straight to the main seat, sat down on the chair with a big horse and a golden sword, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

In just three seconds, snoring sounded everywhere.

The place where he sat was backlit.

The long shadow on the ground was printed at the feet of the two people.

Embiid and Kemp looked at each other when they saw this scene.

After Kemp realized what happened, his face showed a gloomy look.

Seeing that he was about to curse, Embiid immediately pressed his mouth.

Embiid looked at Kemp with a firm look, shook his head gently, and then forced Kemp to sit on the chair.

Kemp did not resist, but there were tears in his eyes.

In the end, the two of them sat quietly, waiting for Ethan to wake up.

Ethan just wanted to take a nap, but he didn't expect that when he woke up, it was almost midnight.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Ethan smiled slightly when he saw Embiid and the other two still sitting upright on the chair.

Only then did he realize that he was still covered with a blanket.

Ethan pinched the blanket in his hand and asked, "Did you cover me?"

Seeing that Ethan woke up, the two immediately stood up.

Embiid replied respectfully: "Madam has been here before."

Ethan was very satisfied when he heard the word "Madam".

He stood up, stretched his muscles, and said lightly: "Pledge your loyalty to me!"

When the two heard this, they smiled as if they had been pardoned, then knelt on one knee and held the sword high with both hands. This was the knight's loyalty ceremony.

Ethan walked to Embiid, drew out his knight's sword, and put it on his shoulder.

"Knight Embiid, are you willing to follow me, Ethan Lawson, and swear allegiance to death?"

"I am willing to give my life to my master!"

Ethan smiled and nodded, and did the same thing to Kemp.

Although Ethan felt that this loyalty ceremony did not have much meaning, it had been passed down for thousands of years, so he still had to go through the process.

After finishing everything, Ethan helped the two men up: "I think I will be a little busy recently and have no time to arrange personnel. You should take care of your subordinates and don't make trouble."

"Master, even if you don't order us to do this, we will do it. We promise you that there will be no trouble."

Ethan felt that Embiid was still very smart. He could understand his subtext and his answer satisfied him.

"Very good! You go down and rest first!"

The two saluted Ethan and left first.

It was not until then that Ethan breathed a sigh of relief.

Ethan really felt ashamed to see these two people.

They are still wearing the uniforms of the rebels.

That is to say, they have been here for so long, and the nominal lord has not even provided them with basic clothes.

There is no way!

The armaments of hundreds of people are not a joke. It costs thousands of gold at any time. Where can I get the money?

Even if there is money, someone has to do these things.

Who will go?

It's impossible to ask Angelina to do all this!

Armaments are fine, it's nothing more than spending money. If it doesn't work, you can always borrow some from Sofia.

But the resettlement of their families is the most troublesome.

A lord without a territory can't even resettle his own people. People will laugh at him if they tell others about it.

The only good news is that Embiid is more sensible.

The two did not make any requests and promised not to cause trouble.

Otherwise, I don't know where to put my face.

Ethan smiled helplessly and prepared to go back to his room to rest.

When he passed the second floor, he found that the light in Sofia's study was still on.

After a slight hesitation, he walked over.

"Miss Sofia, do you have to keep watching coldly?"

As soon as Ethan walked to the door, he heard a man's voice!

"Who is it?"

Thinking, Ethan couldn't help but frowned and knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

Ethan pushed the door open and saw a middle-aged man who looked like a butler.

There was a strong smell of alcohol on his body, and his face seemed to be angry.

Ethan glanced at the person who came and found that he didn't know him.

Although he didn't know him, Ethan felt the other party's "bravery" from what he said just now!

"I am a great swordsman and I have to be polite when talking to Sofia. This kid dares to talk to my sister-in-law in this tone. He has guts!"

"There's going to be a good show!"

Thinking, Ethan went to find a seat and sat down, supporting his chin with one hand, with a smirk on his face, watching the good show.

Sophia glanced at Ethan, smiled helplessly, then turned to the butler and said, "My heart is always with him, I believe he will succeed!"

"Please don't do this, Miss Sophia!

The situation is very chaotic now, and it is almost out of control.

The young master is your fiancé, so for this reason.

Please lend us ten knights, just ten!" The butler shouted almost hoarsely.

When Ethan heard it, he suddenly realized: It turned out to be the Duke's eldest son Bird Stein's people, no wonder they are so arrogant.

Sophia did not reply immediately, but thought for a long time, and finally said: "What happened? Will the situation get out of control?"

"Miss Sophia, please do not question the ability of the young master! You just need to provide ten extraordinary knights!"

Sophia laughed when she heard it: "In other words, my fiancé asked me for help, but he treated me as an outsider and didn't even want to tell me what happened, right?"

"Women should not interfere too much in men's affairs! The young master is doing this for your own good!"

"Oh! I understand!" Sophia smiled: "I am a woman, as you said, I really shouldn't interfere in men's affairs.

So, I may not be able to help!"

"No!" The butler was anxious when he heard it: "Miss Sophia, that's not what I meant!

You understand what I mean, please don't take it out of context.

You might as well tell me directly whether you can lend out ten knights.

If you refuse, I believe the young master will be very angry."
