From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 25 Doubtful (for collection)

Ryan half-kneeled in front of Kailinman, saluted respectfully: "My lord, I'm back, with the honor my grandfather and father gave me."

"Praise be to you, beautiful lady, Ellen/Dry/Amy, salute you."

"Greetings to you, gentlemen." With tears in the corners of Kailinman's eyes, although he was very excited, he still abided by the noble etiquette and returned the gift meticulously.

The older Dreyer was well-versed in the world, and upon seeing this, he expressed that he was a little tired, and hoped that his wife could prepare a few rooms for them to rest.

Kailinman called the old housekeeper Deman, and after taking them to the guest room, she released the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time, hugged Ryan, stroked his cheek with bare hands, and said regretfully: "Growing taller , is also strong, but the face is also rough."

Ryan raised his head slowly, looking at Kailinman who was already crying in front of him, he felt sore at the corners of his eyes, and tears welled up in his eyes. This was a family affection he had never experienced for many years...

"My son is back. From now on, our family will have a brand new start!" Ryan grinned, all the anxiety and anxiety before disappeared at this moment, this is his mother, his family.

Kailinman looked at the confident Ryan, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, nodded with a smile and said, "If your father can see you now, how pleased he would be."

"Let's not talk about this, mother, where is Susan? I really want to see her." Ryan looked around, but he didn't find his sister.

"Susan is learning swordsmanship with Mr. Sterling. You know, although Susan is not friendly with grudges, the descendants of the Black family must learn swordsmanship. That is the rule set by your grandfather."

Kailinman had already collected her emotions and responded with a smile, showing two dimples on her face.

Her appearance is not outstanding, but her smile is extremely contagious, making people feel close unconsciously.

"Teacher Sterling? I should visit him too, so I'll go to my mother first." Ryan was a little happy. Sterling was also his swordsmanship instructor, a very graceful and elegant noble knight.

Walking out of the room, I happened to meet the old housekeeper who had arranged the room.

Ryan greeted with a smile: "Uncle Deman, I hope you can find someone to take good care of little Amy. He is the grandson of an elder, and I respect that elder very much."

"As you wish, sir, welcome back. But I must remind you that the heavy armor is hard to wear, and you should change into a more comfortable set of clothes." Deman bowed slightly and said with a smile.

After he reminded Ryan, he realized that he had been wearing armor all the time, which was really inappropriate at home.

"Thank you for reminding me, but you should call me by my name or Master." Ryan didn't like being called Master, since he was only under 20 years old.

"Good sir, the clothes are in your room."

Ryan: "..."

"Forget it, I'm getting old after all, I have to understand." Ryan suppressed the beating nerves and comforted himself.

When Ryan reappeared, he had already changed into a decent aristocratic costume, from a military general to a handsome young man.

The Black family's manor is very large, with a height of three floors. Except for the first floor, each floor has more than a dozen rooms and independent bathrooms, and the decoration is relatively luxurious.

Such a level of luxury completely overwhelmed Eisen's manor, even Ryan himself was surprised, knowing that ordinary barons rarely build such a luxurious manor.

What's more, he owns a large piece of land, hundreds of households, more than a dozen servants including housekeepers and cooks in the manor, plus several followers of his father and nearly twenty guards...

Thinking about the food and clothes he ate before, he suddenly felt a wave of aristocratic luxury rushing towards his face.

This configuration has surpassed most of the knights, and even a small number of barons, if it is not for a rich family, it will definitely not be able to maintain it.

Ryan used to know that his family was rich, but he never had a concept. Now that he thinks about his poor salary in the army, he suddenly feels unsatisfactory.

"Erdi, Erdi, it's all Erdi." Ryan was so excited that he even spoke the dialect of his previous life. Now he is the boss of this family, and everything belongs to him!
After thinking about it, he came to the backyard, and a childish shout came into Ryan's ears, and he quickly locked his eyes on the petite figure.

It was his younger sister Susan, who was wearing a swordsman's uniform, holding a one-handed sword that was seriously out of her figure, and was struggling to swing it under the guidance of a middle-aged man.

Sweat dripped down her soft hair onto the floor, but she didn't have the slightest intention of stopping. Although she had reached her limit, she still continued to inspire her body's potential, which was pitiful.

It is unimaginable, this is the perseverance possessed by a noble lady who is only eight years old.

"Ray, you're back."

The sudden sound startled Ryan. The middle-aged man who taught Susan how to practice sword came to him at some point.

The man was about 40 years old, tall and strong, dressed in a clean and tidy black swordsman uniform, his black hair was combed meticulously, and there was a spring-like smile on his steady and handsome face.

"I salute you, Mr. Sterling. I just arrived and came to visit you and Susan." Ryan narrowed his eyes, bowed slightly, and saluted the man.

The original doubts in his heart became heavier the moment he saw Sterling. Although his predecessor had followed him to learn swordsmanship since childhood, he only had an impression of his strength in his predecessor's memory of superb swordsmanship.

Now it seems that it is more than just superb swordsmanship, this is clearly a high-ranking knight, and he has felt the strong sense of oppression in Eisen.

Since returning to the manor, Ryan has discovered that there are many doubts in it. The background and financial resources of the Black family are far beyond what he imagined.

Now even high-level knights have appeared. You know, even Viscount Chells, his chief knight is only this rank.

His father was only a high-level knight in the past, and he didn't even have a formal title, so why would he attract a high-level knight to follow?

A high-ranking knight, regardless of his military exploits or allegiance to the nobles, not to mention the official title, it is easy to obtain a small fief like Eisen. Why should he be buried in a family like Black for decades?

"Brother." An excited cry interrupted Ryan's contemplation, and Susan dropped the one-handed sword in her hand, flew into Ryan's arms, and hugged his neck tightly.

"Dear Susan, if you keep pushing hard, you won't be able to see your brother who loves you the most in a few minutes." Ryan patted her sweaty back and said jokingly.

Susan waited for a while before reluctantly letting go, and began to ask Ryan for gifts.

Fortunately, Ryan was prepared and took out a necklace from his pocket like a conjuring, and then dismissed the chattering Susan and asked her to go back and change.

"You've made great progress, Ray, I'm surprised." Sterling watched Susan sit down, and said with a smile.

"But you are still an insurmountable mountain for me, teacher. I didn't know how powerful you are until now." Ryan's eyes shone with a strange light. This person is really unreasonable.

"Hahaha, thank you for your compliment, Ray. Do you want to compete with me?"
