All the contract girls want to marry me

He does not have a formal military position. Even if the emperor gives him a replacement appointment, it will be difficult for him to compete with several deputy commanders for credit.

It's better to quickly return to the territory and build an army of your own.

If the Southern Front Army wins, they can join in the soup; if the Southern Front Army loses, Matthew can also come out to save the situation.

This is Matthew's optimal solution, but it is not the Southern Front's optimal solution. If Surante were to give her opinion, she would certainly hope so.But from Diana's point of view, she was a little unsure as to why she would do this.

All in all, this is good for Matthew.

Surante's explanation was completely incomprehensible.Poseidon did not endow her with political or military abilities when he created her.She listened drowsily, but only out of politeness did not interrupt Surante's words.

After Surante's explanation came to an end, in order to prevent Surante from talking anymore, she quickly interrupted: "Surant, you made it very clear, there is no need to say anything more."

...

Taking [-] prisoners with them, Matthew's team finally returned to Lundebel after seven or eight days of trekking.

Looking at the familiar plants and trees in the territory, Matthew felt like he was in another world.

People kept saluting him along the way. Looking at these familiar people, he could finally be sure of one thing, he was back.

Matthew placed the army in a camp south of Bell Mountain and the prisoners in an abandoned refugee camp.

This refugee camp was originally used to house refugees, but it became vacant after the refugees were shunted. Now it is used to hold prisoners.

About half of the refugees from Groningen chose to settle here, and about half chose to return home after the war.

Those who were willing to settle down all divided the land and began to work hard for the autumn harvest.

Before the harvest, their food was supplied by the town hall.

Of course not giving it for free, but borrowing it.

The principle of promoting love and fighting against rice is the same no matter where you are.

Lending food to these refugees not only demonstrates benevolence, but also gives them some pressure to farm well.If it were given to them for free, these guys would think they could have enough to eat even if they were lying down, so why bother farming?

Matthew did not impose excessive taxes, but he also did not allow anyone to take advantage of him.

Refugees who don't want to stay can easily eat and work.

Whether you are good at manual labor, technical work or have a special skill, you can find a suitable job in Matthew's territory.

Even the elderly and women can find suitable work here in Matthew.

Working in exchange for food is the principle.

For the elderly and disabled people who have completely lost their ability to work, the city hall is responsible for minimum living security.

In Matthew's view, this is just a basic guarantee, but in this era of feudal lords competing and being immoral, he is already a good person.

Matthew didn't leave those children under working age idle either.

Some half-grown children without parents will definitely become a security risk if not managed properly.

Once something goes wrong, it will be troublesome whether they are thrown into jail or released.

So Matthew gathered these children and asked teachers and junior military officers to give them lessons.

There were people who didn't quite understand the policies when Matthew left, but now they understand.

Matthew has made arrangements for everyone. He will not support lazy people, nor will he leave the old, weak, sick and disabled alone.

In the eyes of the refugees, Mr. Matthew is a first-rate benevolent person, but they have some doubts about whether such a good policy was actually used by Mr. Matthew to fool them.

If Matthew's policy can be continued, even if you hit them with a big stick, they will not leave.

Although the refugees are happy, they are also worried.

Master Matthew has not appeared for a long time.Although the officials in the city hall said that Master Matthew was practicing magic in seclusion, the refugees always felt that something was wrong.

As suspicion grows, an undercurrent begins to build.

Some people with bad intentions are once again mingling among the refugees and spreading rumors.

However, their operation did not go smoothly this time.

Although the refugees are also worried about Master Matthew's safety, they have no intention of causing trouble.

The spies spreading rumors were captured on the spot by the refugees and taken to the city hall.What awaits them will be Miss Melda's strange and terrifying interrogation methods.

This was the current state of the territory when Matthew returned.

Histini fulfilled her duties as acting lord very well and managed the territory in an orderly manner.

Matthew was eager to return home, and now he just wanted to return home quickly and hug Sistine tightly, but he still had to be patient and listen to Mayor Brun's territory report.

This is work, and you have to do it whether you like it or not.

Perhaps sensing that Matthew's thoughts were not here, Mayor Bren, who always liked to give long reports, only took a few minutes to introduce the basic situation of the territory.

Matthew couldn't stand his lovesickness, so he simply handed over the work of arranging the prisoners and troops to Surante, and went home first.

He released his flying technique, flew into the sky, and flew towards home as fast as possible.

When flying over Bell Mountain from the air, traces of the fire can be faintly seen.

The once lush mountains were now burned into a dark, barren land. Ever since tens of thousands of people were blocked and burned to death in the valley, the place had lost its status as a transportation thoroughfare.

The road reconstruction will take at least half a year.Even if the reconstruction is completed, most people will not dare to leave from here.

After all, tens of thousands of people died here, and their deaths were very painful.Many of them have lingering ghosts and become resentful spirits.

Seeing the devastation, Matthew felt deep in his heart and let out a long sigh.

Given the choice, he certainly didn't want to be so cruel, but he had no choice.

If fire attacks were not used, the outcome of Lundebel's defense battle would be hard to say.

The number of troops under his command is too small. If there are too many losses in the first battle, there will be trouble when General Karl comes.

Even if he were asked to choose another hundred times, he would still make the decision to light the fire with guilt.

He knew very well that this transportation thoroughfare was considered abandoned, and there was no need to spend huge amounts of manpower and material resources to repair it.

Crossing the ghostly Bell Mountain, Matthew saw his home in the middle of the plain from a distance.

That looks like a small village, but in fact it is a home of its own.

He landed slowly and flew towards home.

While flying quickly, he saw a red shadow, it was [Red Rabbit]!

Riding on the back of [Red Rabbit] was Sistine, whom he had longed for.

Matthew descended like an eagle and landed in front of Sistine.

Before he could speak, Sistine had already dismounted and rushed into his arms.

Sistini's tension, grievance and anxiety these days all disappeared in this moment.

She opened her mouth, but none of the thousands of words she wanted to say came out.

Tears slowly rolled down her cheeks, and her body kept shaking, as if she had been fished out of water.

Matthew held Sistine in his arms and murmured softly: "Tini, my dear Tini, I'm back."

I'm back. It's just a simple sentence, but it contains countless emotions.

In Poseidon Temple, Matthew doubted whether he could leave more than once, but he still chose to believe in himself.

The reason is simple, he wants to go home.

Chapter 137 Wife

The joy of meeting again after a long absence and the relief of relief allowed Sistini to finally relax her tense brows in the past few months.

The master bedroom of the home, which is also Matthew's sleeping quarters, has been vacant for the past few months and can now finally be put to use.

Sistine was as gentle as a kitten in Matthew's arms. She was obedient and gentle with Matthew, but when Matthew wanted to go further, she shook her head shyly.

Matthew was a little surprised. Sistine never refused his request. What happened today?

Is it a special period or just feeling uneasy?

In any case, since she was unwilling, Matthew had no intention of forcing it. He held Sistine in his arms and casually chatted about what happened at Poseidon Temple.

When it came to his relationship with Surante, he hesitated for a few seconds and then told the truth.

Although it is a bit embarrassing to talk about other women in the beautiful moment of reunion after a long separation, but what happened happened, there is no need to hide it.He originally planned to give Surante and Sistini the same treatment, so he naturally had to be more frank.

Faced with Matthew's honesty, Sistini did not raise her head, but asked quietly: "Master, why are you telling me this? You are our master, you can decide these things yourself."

Matthew held Sistini's hand, put her hand on her right chest, and said solemnly: "No, I am not your master. Although my love cannot completely belong to you, my heart is hot. of."

He himself felt that this was somewhat shameless.If love is divided into many parts, is it still love?

Of course it counts!This is Sistine's answer.

She was in Matthew's arms, lying on his chest and listening to his strong and somewhat rapid heartbeat, with a smile on her lips.

Matthew's willingness to share this feeling with her is enough to show her status in Matthew's heart.Although she is just a maid, Matthew really treats her as his wife.

that's enough.

In this era, maids were just the playthings of nobles.No matter how sophisticated the toy is, it is still just a toy.

No one would ask the opinion of another maid when visiting another maid.

Although Matthew can be domineering at times, he is extremely gentle when in front of Sistine and the others.

Feeling Matthew's burning desire, Sistini bit her lip and whispered softly: "Thank you, Master, for sharing these thoughts with me."

"Call me Matthew!" Matthew corrected Sistini's name firmly.

"Master Matthew, I'm very grateful that you didn't treat me like an ignorant maid. But I really can't satisfy you today."

Sistine said softly with a hint of apology: "Fortunately, you have Surante now, so tonight you can..."

"She and I have been together in Poseidon Temple for a long time, and tonight does not belong to her."

"Well, let me ask Kalainen to come over. If you ask her to come to the bedroom tonight, she will definitely be very happy."

Matthew put his fingers on her lips and shook his head slowly, "I'm not going anywhere tonight, I'm just going to stay with you."

Sistini put Matthew's hand on her belly and murmured softly: "Sistini will certainly not refuse all your requests, but the little one may not agree."

brat?

Matthew was stunned for a full five seconds before he recovered, and his expression changed from surprise to surprise.

He trembled with his right hand and gently pressed his palm against Sistine's still flat belly, trying to feel the fluctuations of life in her belly.

He could feel that there were two marks of life there, and he could even clearly feel that the two little guys were connected by blood with him.

Matthew's breathing was a little disordered. He never imagined that he, who had not even held hands with a girl before traveling through time, not only had two wives in a different world, but one of them was even pregnant with a child for him.

To get married and have children, you must have a house, money, and a girl you love.

These conditions were too high for him before time travel, but they are no problem for him now.

As the Earl of Lundebel, he could even marry several wives.

Matthew sat up without hesitation and knelt on one knee in front of Sistine.

In this world, there is no understanding of a man kneeling down on one knee to propose marriage to a woman. Of course, Sistine didn't know what Matthew was going to do.

The master was on his knees, so naturally she couldn't lie down.She quickly sat up and after thinking about it, she simply followed suit and knelt down on one knee facing him like Matthew.

Matthew held Sistine's hand and said softly:

"Although this sentence comes a little late, and although it is a bit rogue to say this kind of thing based on the existence of a child, it is better to be late than to come later. Miss Sistine, are you willing to be my wife?"

Sistine was dumbfounded.

She thought that Matthew would give her a good home and that she could become Matthew's lover, but she never expected that the word "wife" that made her heart beat faster would come out of Matthew's mouth so naturally.

"Master, I, I, but I am just a maid. This will damage your reputation."

"Do you think there is still room for my reputation to decline?" Matthew said seriously with a straight face.

He thought he was being humorous, but he didn't expect that these words touched Sistini's sadness.

Yes, Matthew's title as the Heartless Demon has given him an extremely bad reputation.If he takes another maid as his wife, he will definitely become a joke to the whole world.

She should refuse, but she couldn't bear to refuse.
