Chapter 219 – Choice of Interest

Swan was to stay and observe Flower Town for a few days.

It was a good thing, since it meant that she could develop a good impression of the town and Liszt as well. The next few days will be the time to fix everything.

There is always a possibility of course that good impressions can go bad.

But the probability is very small.

Liszt was confident in this. “Flower Town now is clean and sanitary, the roads are s.p.a.cious, civilians have houses, clothes, food, and even have a little surplus; the patrol is no longer a rogue organization, the law enforcers are not closed at night, at least there will be no theft. “

Although the town is rural and not prosperous, it has improved a lot under his control for more than half a year.

This will undoubtedly bring in a lot of good impressions.

“Selling serfs is really a disgrace, but basically, the aristocracy would sell serfs, not me. Moreover, the serfs came to Flower Town and their life turned out for the better. Their quality of life improved by me distributing houses, clothing, food, and land. No points will be added for this, but no points are lost either. “

So is the social system.

The mercenary Swan claimed to have killed many barons, but it was difficult to distinguish whether this was true and false. But she certainly understood that what Liszt did was already better compared to the rest of the aristocracy.

“And most importantly, Maggie's life in Flower Town is very good, and she has a family again … she and Mrs. Harriet formed a mother and daughter contract, which is a G.o.dsend!” Thinking of this, Liszt felt that there was no reason to give Maggie away.

Contractual mothers and daughters are legally and morally indistinguishable from true mothers and daughters.

The mercenary Swan wants to take Maggie away, first of all, it will  break up the mother-daughter relations.h.i.+p between her and the Harriets, but the main question is, would Maggie be willing to? Liszt has always paid close attention to Maggie, and knew that Mrs. Harriet really treats Maggie like her own daughter. Surely,the little maid's heart has long since melted.

Maggie is not a cruel little girl. She knows how to be grateful and will certainly not want to make Mrs. Harriet sad.

“So, I have to send someone secretly, mention Mrs. Harriet, and at a critical moment, let her retain Maggie, and then use Maggie's words to keep the maid from getting her … Irene must continue to strengthen the maids' love of the castle and establish the atmosphere of an extended family. “

At last.

He made this most important decision based on his many experiences of chasing girls before. “Women are emotional.  There are countless benefits to being a resident of Flower Town, and the mercenary may not appreciate it. Maybe some warm actions may change her views instantly. “

At dinner that evening, only Gort and Isaiah came. The others continued to be responsible for arranging the new serfs.

Without waiting for the meal, Gort asked, “Sir, what is Ms. Swan's ident.i.ty? Is it appropriate for me to arrange her in  a n.o.ble's residence?”

“An enemy or a friend,it depends on her choice.” Liszt didn't directly break the ident.i.ty of the other party, he just said. “Adviser Gort, tell Karl and Romm that the patrol will pay more attention to her movements. She should not get close to the Fire Mushroom Workshop and Soap-Making Workshop, as well as the wine-making workshop. The insect protection team should guard the sprite worms, especially the worms in the Garden of Thorns. “

Gort shrugged. "Your words have confused me. But, as you wish, I will tell Karl and Romm."

Liszt told Isaiah also, “When the new serfs arrive, clothes, food, and accommodation must be properly arranged. I will let the caravan urgently purchase a batch of quilts and coats. Don't be afraid to spend money and take care of the serfs' life. Above all,  we must let the serfs feel that the winter in Flower Town is as warm as home. “

Gort patted Isaiah on the shoulder and blinked. “Yes, let the serfs feel the warmth of a home, and Ms. Swan, she should see this scene and feel the warmth of Flower Town.” 

Isaiah was not a fool, and quickly learned, “Of course, Flower Town has a benevolent lord, and for all civilians, this is a warm home.”

“Cheers,” Liszt said.

“Cheers.”

While everyone else was getting ready to sleep.

Using Magic Eye, Liszt carefully inspected the castle and made sure that no maid was lurking around. He brought Tremblingwoods inside the castle and let it sleep in the hall.

He also watched Carter lock the castle door.

Liszt locked his bedroom door and lay on the bed. His thoughts wouldn't let him sleep, all of them were about the maid mercenary Swan. His emotions about this “thief spying on the lord” were very complicated.

Because of the smoke task, it was natural to feel that defeating the other party is in line with the meaning of reward.

But the information revealed in Swan's words did not affect his senses-the other party claimed to have killed many barons, which was clearly standing on the opposite side of the aristocracy.

But Liszt is also an aristocrat, which means he uses his a.s.s to decide over his head, and he would never allow anyone to destabilize the aristocracy.

“Swan is Maggie's sister. Then, she should be from the Eagle Kingdom as well, therefore she must've killed the baron of the Eagle Kingdom, I hope so … if she had killed someone from the Sapphire Kingdom, then I should never disregard her…. hmmm.. I might be going too far…"

 He turned over and kept thinking.

“I should investigate her background before deciding whether I should take her down. The smoke task has clouded my judgment and I should restrain from this dependence!”

He thought the smoke mission was a conspiracy with someone behind it, so he could not resist its effects.

But now he has speculated that the smoke task is a product of the smoke dragon with only a grasp of destiny, which gives him an independent choice.

“The fate of man should be in his own hands, not as a puppet. Anything that is good for me will be accepted, anything harmful to me will be thrown away.”

His restless mind, little by little, smoothed out.”No matter how beautiful the face is under Swan's face scarf, as soon as she does not meet my interests, I will absolutely get rid of  her!” Because of Maggie, she would not endanger Flower Town, but if she endangers my rule, I will send her away. “

Of course, these were just a.s.sumptions.

It was the first time he saw this person who claims to be 'Swan'. Whether what she said was true or false, it was difficult to judge. Her background was also difficult to guess.

From Maggie's knowledge, her sister had gone to learn magic; from Swan's dress, she was a mercenary, practicing fighting skills; but she could be invisible, which was not clear, but it should be a kind of magic; and the description in the smoke task called for a thief.

So it was not clear whether she's a knight or a magician.

It is not known either whether she is a mercenary or a thief.

Touching the Red Blood sword by his bed, Liszt had completely calmed down. ” I couldn't have controlled her arrival to Flower Town, but as soon as the time comes, I must decide whether she can stay!”

The Red blood sword was definitely not a decoration, it can kill people!
