Chapter 21 Newcomer Carl
"Congratulations, Sister Joyce."

After breakfast, Irene came to congratulate Joyce. She no longer needs to do cleaning work, which is a promotion in a sense.

Joyce shook his head with a smile and said nothing.

At this time, Diana came over and said to Joyce, "I've already started preparing your new costume, and it will be delivered in a while."

"Thank you, I'm sorry to trouble you, head maid." Joyce replied seriously.

Diana nodded slightly, took a deep look at her, and left.

Irene suddenly thought that starting from today, Joyce would no longer be a maid in a strict sense, but the teacher of Little Meili, and should have a separate room, so wouldn't she have to live alone in the future?
Thinking of this, Irene hugged Melitia and began to cry.

"Sister Irene, what's the matter with you?"

Melittoya was taken aback, and Joyce also looked over, not knowing what happened to Irene again.

"Sister Joyce lives in a new room, and I will be alone from now on, so I won't be able to listen to Sister Joyce's bedtime stories at night."

Ever since Joyce told the story of "The Legend of the Queen" last night, Irene has become addicted, and she can't fall asleep without listening to the story before going to bed.

Joyce was helpless, "How old are you, why are you acting like a child."

Melittoya said happily: "Big brother changed me to a big room, sister Irene can sleep with me!"

Hearing this, Irene's eyes lit up.

This is a good way.

Joyce coughed and said, "Okay, Miss Melittoia, let me tell you about the class time from now on."

"Ah? Is this about to start?" Irene said in a low voice.

Ignoring her, Joyce continued: "Miss Melittoia, you need to come to the classroom to study with me from 8:12 to [-]:[-] every morning. After lunch break, spend an hour to cultivate your interest."

"Study for five days, with two days off."

Just as Joyce said this, Irene asked curiously, "Sister Joyce, what does cultivating interest mean? Does the teacher still teach these things?"

She didn't want to answer at first, but Melittoya stared at her with the same ignorant eyes as Irene, and the movements of the two were surprisingly consistent.

Joyce shook his head and said: "I don't know the specific meaning, but according to the lord, everyone has something they like and are good at, and it is the lesson of this class to work hard on it. content."

Irene suddenly realized, her eyes widened and she said, "I like to eat snacks and make gourmet food, so can Mr. Joyce teach me?"

"I don't accept students."

After being ruthlessly rejected, Irene didn't feel sad. She asked Little Meili again, "What do you like to do, Little Meili?"

Little Meili tilted her head, frowned and thought for a long time, "I don't know~"

Irene turned to Joyce and said, "Mr. Joyce, hurry up and teach little Meili a lesson."

-

"Although Melittoya was given the surname of Arnold, there are other people's eyeliners in the territory who are staring at my baron's mansion. To ensure safety, we should not say anything about it, as long as we know it ourselves."

In the study, Ron exhorted Egbert and Abel.

Both of them understood the truth and nodded.Ron asked about the progress of land reclamation again, and the person who answered was Abel.

He said: "I often go to see that the area you have drawn is half completed. Those boys don't rest for a day, and they are all happy to reclaim wasteland."

The "boy" in Abel's mouth naturally refers to the knights of Sig.

Ron estimated in his mind when the potatoes would mature, he frowned and said, "We still need to speed up the progress, Egbert, you need to recruit another batch of people from the territory."

"Yes, my lord."

Ron nodded, frowning and asked: "The supervisors didn't treat them harshly, did they? Have the water and food been distributed as usual?"

Egbert quickly replied: "Lord, please rest assured, I have sent someone to watch! Such a thing will never happen."

Ron nodded, and said to Abel: "You should also pay attention when you let Sig and the others go. If anything illegal happens, report to me immediately."

"The lord is kind, it is their blessing to have you considerate of the people."

Facing Egbert's sincere praise, Ron waved his hand and asked, "Nothing happened in the territory recently, right?"

"Recently, it has calmed down a lot. This is due to the good governance of the lord."

Ron acquiesced without blushing. He hadn't read the paperwork for a while, so he asked this question.

Seeing that there was no problem, but developing in a good direction, it can be seen that Joyce has good abilities and he made the right choice.

However, Ron had to go to the capital afterwards. The territorial government affairs were always exposed to what Joyce was dealing with, so it was better to explain it now, so as not to cause trouble in time.

Thinking of this, Ron looked at his most loyal two, "Actually, I called you two here today, and there is one more thing."

After Ron finished speaking, the whole study fell into a long silence.

Egbert was the first to speak: "My lord, it is absolutely impossible. You are the master of Lord Arnold, and you must not give control to outsiders!"

"I didn't hand over control, I'm still the master of this territory." Ron looked at him helplessly.

"This huge territory will be managed by a commoner, which will become a big hidden danger! Please think twice, my lord." Egbert spoke earnestly and tried his best to persuade him.

Seeing this, Abel saluted and said, "Lord Lord."

Ron raised his hand to stop him. He had thought that Egbert would object, but he didn't know it would be so fierce.

"Egbert, let me ask you, Joyce has been handling the territorial government affairs for a while, has there been any problem?"

"Though not."

"You have also managed the government affairs of the territory on your behalf before, and you know the difficulties. Just now you said that Joyce is just a mere commoner, but she can handle the work of the territory with ease. Doesn't this prove that she is extraordinary?"

Egbert was silent.

Ron's voice raised slightly, "The territory has few talents and its development is slow, far inferior to other territories. Now that there is such a talent in front of us, as the lord, should I still turn a blind eye?"

As soon as this remark came out, Egbert felt ashamed. He had been in charge of the affairs of the territory, so of course he knew the situation of the territory, and there were too few talents who could make good use of it.

In fact, every territory has such a situation, some talented people will choose to go to the capital, because there is a future.This is true for those territories that are richer and more powerful than Arnold's territory, let alone the remote Arnold's territory.

Seeing his expression, Ron knew that his resistance had relaxed a lot.

Then he patted Egbert's shoulder lightly, and said earnestly: "Egbert, it is not advisable to stand still. Knowing people and using them well is the long-term solution. Don't you want to see the Arnold's territory that has become stronger? "

"My lord, I." Egbert's eyes were red, and he began to speak incoherently.

Ron didn't let him go on, he put his arms around the old man, and said softly: "Okay, stop talking, I understand. I know you are worried about me and the Arnold family, but I have always trusted you. "

As soon as these words came out, Egbert couldn't bear it anymore, and wept softly.

Ron smiled and patted him on the back.

Get one.

Then, he turned to look at Abel next to him.

Unexpectedly, Abel saluted immediately and said: "The guard knight Abel will always be loyal to the Lord Lord's will!"

Tsk, don't give me a chance.

Ron let go of Egbert, and the other party slowly calmed down, and said, "Since the lord has chosen Joyce to manage the territory, I am also willing to trust her."

"Joyce is still a novice, not as good as you in some aspects, and you need to pay more attention to Egbert." Ron said.

Egbert was very grateful in his heart, nodded and said: "Yes, Lord Lord, I will retire first."

Ron stopped him, handed a stack of papers to Egbert, and said, "Give this blueprint to Master Hadey, and let him create a template."

"This is a new farming tool that can improve the efficiency of farming and will be of great use when planting."

Egbert took it in surprise. What Ron said just now was not just words, but a real action to make Arnold's territory strong.

[Favourability degree: 94 (heart-hearted)]

Egbert's favorability rose again, and Ron remained silent.

"My lord, then I will go out too." Abel saluted and followed Egbert out of the study.

in the corridor.

Abel followed Egbert, looked at his still red eyes, "Mr. Egbert, your eyes"

"Don't tell me!"

Abel was taken aback for a moment, and immediately responded. Egbert is so old, and he is still crying to be seen. It would be fine if it was just the lord, but Abel was there, and he really felt ashamed.

Abel thought for a second, if he was the one crying just now, he couldn't help shivering.

A man in his 30s was crying in front of everyone. Abel couldn't even imagine the scene.

Fortunately, his intuition told him what to do.

-

Several days passed.

In his spare time after dinner, Ron drank tea and casually asked Melittoia about her studies.

"What did you learn from the teacher recently?"

Melittoya sat quietly, wearing a clean and beautiful skirt, much like a little princess in a fairy tale.

Hearing Ron's words, she stood up, pinched the skirts on both sides with both hands, stepped back and bent down, and made standard aristocratic etiquette towards Ron.

"Brother, the teacher taught me about animals." Melittoya replied unhurriedly after completing the etiquette.

Seeing this scene, Ron stopped drinking tea, and he stared blankly at the different Melitia in front of him.

"Brother?"

Melittoia noticed Ron's eyes and called out in a soft voice.

Ron came back to his senses, put down the teacup in his hand, and asked, "Who taught you this?"

Melittoya replied cautiously: "It was Ms. Diana who taught me. She said that I need to behave according to my identity and status. Is there something wrong with me?"

"No, you did a great job."

Ron praised with a smile, and Melittoia also showed a shy expression.

He was not dissatisfied with Diana's actions. The rules of this world were like this. Everyone was divided into classes, and each class had its own set of codes of conduct.

While enjoying the convenience brought by his status and status, he should also abide by the rules.

"However, since you are still young, you don't need to learn these etiquettes too seriously. You should learn all the characters first, so that you can read a book by yourself."

Ron can't control other places, but in his mansion, he has the right to let Melitia live freely.

"Yes, sir."

There was a smile on Melittoya's face, and then she spoke the words she knew, and Ron nodded as he listened.

While talking, Melittoya showed distress and asked: "The teacher said that those are common animals just now, my lord brother, what do they look like?"

This made Ron at a loss as to how to explain it, since he had never seen it before.

"They suddenly remembered that I still have something to do. Forgive me, Melittoia, and I will tell you next time."

Ron got up and walked away quickly.

Melittoya opened her small mouth and looked at the back of Ron leaving, while Irene covered her mouth and snickered.

"Little Meili, do you want some pudding? I made some especially for you~" Irene bewitched.

"To eat!"

Melittoya took the bait, but she immediately shrank her neck and looked around. Irene said indifferently, "Don't worry, they're not here. Sister Joyce is in the study at this time, and Sister Diana is in the kitchen."

Then two puddings appeared in front of her. As for why there were two puddings, of course Irene also had one.

Irene urged: "Eat, don't be discovered by them, or you will complain to the young master."

Melittoya asked the doubts that had been in her heart for a long time, "Sister Irene, why do you always call your elder brother 'Master'? Everyone else is called Lord Lord."

"Because the young master was the young master before, just like you are the young lady now, little Meili." Irene said naturally.

Melittoya seemed to understand, and Irene thought of something, and said: "However, you can't tell others, this is a secret between us."

"Absolutely don't say, I am best with Sister Irene."

Melittoia assured that she took a big mouthful of pudding. Although Diana taught her to eat slowly and behave in a noble manner, she always forgot when she was with Irene.

"By the way, Sister Irene. Did you see that little boy my age? Did they go home?" Melittoya asked suddenly. Jonas disappeared after that night, and she was still puzzled for a long time.

It seems that I misunderstood, that little boy is not the elder brother's younger brother.

Irene was dealing with Pudding, and said absent-mindedly after hearing the words: "I heard that they were locked up, but I don't know the specifics."

With a bang, Melittoia's spoon fell onto the plate.Irene heard the sound and looked, knowing something bad happened.

That night, Ron met Jonas in the dungeon.

If it hadn't been for Melitia's pleading during the day, Ron wouldn't have come to see him so early, and he would have been locked up for a few more days.

Abel pushed back the others and guarded the door by himself, not knowing what Ron had said to the other party in the dungeon.

The next morning, I saw that little figure at the training ground.

"Meet a new member, his name is Carl. Starting today, join the Cavaliers under the Arnold family. You must get along well. Come and say hello."

Ron announced to all the knights with a smile.

"Hello, my name is Karl, and I will serve the lord from today on."

Jonas, no, Karl now, he said.
