Chapter 152: Become A Lord (Part 2)
Rigen's perspective
Maybe I should wait here until the current Lord's advisor gets here to meet up with me, maybe I should look around this place a bit. The castle around me was built of stones, it was not too high but at least bearable, the castle's size seemed to be average, well...to me it's worth living in.
I looked around for some more and realized that the castle had no flags that got hung on the castle's walls or the guards' armors. This other world was very similar to the medieval era in my previous world, only the difference was the existence of magic though the magic of this world was not as developed as the other fantasy fiction.
According to what I learned from reading books and the internet about European feudalism, the Lords and King would own lands and could rule in their own ways, had their own military and their own laws in their lands. Each Lord would be like a King in their lands though they would have to stay under their Monarch's control and had to tribute their King some of the money that the Lords collected from their taxes.
Heraldic flags were also proof to show that the Lords had their own right in their lands, but this castle had no heraldic flags at all. Maybe the previous Lord of Veta has died so the castle has removed all of the flags, I had played Mount and Blade and also met this experience when I lost my castle.
But to make sure, maybe I would ask the only guard who was guarding the castle's door, he was seriously doing his job and seemed to be surprised to see me come here. Sarah seemed to be a bit disappointed when the soldiers who were following us did not say a word so she greeted the guard but he only opened a slight smile to greet Sarah and later went back to guard.
About Hatano, she did not follow me but now was talking to Private Seridov - who was guarding the green carriage. My subordinate was talking to Seridov from behind me, not too far but her voice was low so I didn't hear any sound of her words, I would let off Hatano just in this time.
"Guard, are you listening to me?" - I asked the guard
"Ahh, yes, Sir! What do you need to know?" - The guard's voice seemed to be a bit tremble, maybe he was scared of me
"Why there are no flags or symbols on the castle's walls or in your armor, guard?"
"Our previous Lord has died so we have to remove our previous flags and erase the symbols in our armors, Sir! That's all I know to explain to you, I hope you will forgive me if I cannot explain to you further, Sir."
"Sorry, Sir! Our guards are not allowed to talk much during working, please forgive me." - The guard later stood guard again, I would like to ask him some more
"How is your life here, guard? Ummm...how's about your salary? Is it enough for you to make a living?"
"Sorry, Sir! I'm not allowed to talk much during working."
"I allow you to talk, guard! I'm now the new Lord here, you are my servant and I order you to talk."
"If you say so...Sir, our salaries are quite poor but at least better than the jobs in the town, Sir."
"How is your salary in a month, guard?"
"Every one of our guards is paid 10 Attas each month, Sir! That money is not enough for me to take care of my wife and my 2 kids but I can save my money well."
Atta coins, the Warsaw regions which were linked to Attenta's border would have to change to use that Kingdom's currency. According to what I read from one of many Hatano's intel that she sent me in Advisor's notifications, Gel coins and Atta coins were used mixed in Veta - so this guard's salary would be 100 Gels a month, quite low.
After asking the guard, I looked around and noticed that only I was standing alone, I was wondering where was Sarah. I turned behind to look and witnessed that silly girl crouching to look at the grass, maybe no one talked to her so was bored and was trying to find some new fun.
But when I was looking at Sarah, I heard footsteps coming toward me so I looked back at the castle's door and saw a guard and an old man walking out of the door. The old man was white, bald, brown eyes and had a brown full beard, he wore a white cloak whose hood had been removed, the old man looked at me deeply.
"Sir, I'm Markus Dulukel - the current Lord's advisor, please call me Markus...may you show me the paper and the crest to let me verify, Sir?" - So this old man was the Lord's advisor?
"Here, here is the proof." - I pulled out the paper and the Warsaw crest and showed them to Markus, that old man stared at both items for a few seconds and then bowed to me
"So you are truly Lord Rigen, I'm very sorry for doubting you earlier because His Majesty hasn't notified me there would be a Lord coming here suddenly."
"No need to apologize, now I want to see inside the castle, also seeing my servants and the rooms in this place to see how would I live in it."
"Of course, my Lord! Please follow me to the castle...but may I ask you something, my Lord?" - Markus stopped bowing to me and raised his head as if he was looking at something behind me
"Speak it up."
"Who are the people following you, my Lord?" - I later looked behind after hearing Markus's question
"Hello, Markus - san! It's nice to see you, I'm Sarah...hehe." - Sarah waved her hand to greet Markus, how free was this silly soldier girl
Hatano had finally followed me alongside Sarah but Private Seridov was still guarding the green carriage. Both of the soldiers who were guarding us were now standing beside me, these women soldiers were very silent, as if I was a puppet and Hatano was commanding the entire army and could kick me out whenever she likes.
"Ummm...they are my subordinates, and these are my own soldiers."
"I see, though your subordinates are wearing strange clothes, Sir! Except for you, they wear very different." - Sarah and Hatano were wearing their green military uniforms while I was wearing a green noble uniform, no surprise at all if Markus was confused
"Also, the three of you also wear strange bracelets and green bags which seem very big and heavy but strangely that the three of you can move easily with those large bags."
"Those are the items from my homeland, Markus! Now get me into the castle quickly, my subordinates are also the new Lords, they also have to see their lands after following me."
"Ahhh, I'm very sorry for my ignorance, my Lord! This way, please follow me into the castle and I would instruct you to know more about your new house, my Lord." - Markus later raised his hands to the door to tell us to go in and then walked inside the cattle
"Commander...I would like...to stay outside...for a few minutes...please." - Hatano said to me in her low voice
"Okay, but only stay outside for 5 minutes, Hatano! Or I will punish you." - Hatano would not do anything against me this time so I would let off her, no need to rush
Hatano nodded to me and then walked to Private Seridov, I and Sarah later walked inside the castle with Markus. The first scene I saw when I walked into the castle was a room that seemed to be a living room...maybe I was wrong, this room looked different.
Well, it had a wide table and a chair was placed on it, around the table were the items which were the fur papers, the pens in a wooden cup and some round wooden boxes which seemed to be ink boxes. Markus walked to the table while raising his hands to the table to let me see, there were drawers on each side of the table, a wide space under the table seemed to be empty, could be used to place something under it.
"My Lord, this room is a work room, you would work here by hearing your Advisor reporting the daily affairs in your land."
"My Lord, you would do the paperwork in on the table, the details are about modifying taxes, seeing the report of the people about their affairs to solve the problems."
"You would also have to raise your fund for building your military, making relationships with other Lords and tributing for taxes for His Majesty, my Lord."
"Is there anything you want to ask me before heading to the other rooms, my Lord?" - I would like to ask Markus for some more
"Why are you so silent, Sarah? Didn't surprise to see these scenes anymore?" - Sarah was listening to Markus very carefully for some reason
"I'm trying to learn hard, Commander! I must stop playing and stop lazy because I'm now working as a ruler, must care about the people."
Though this silly girl was still losing her concentration a bit by looking around the decorations of her room but at least she tried hard to learn, good!
"Alright..." - I later looked at Markus again
"Well, Markus! When the previous Lord died, you are the one who is in charge, right?"
"Of course, my Lord! But at the time you showed me the paper, you have been in charge to take over the land."
"Do you have any questions to ask me, my Lord?"
"Then after those 3 months, how did the rule in this land look like without the Lord to rule it, Markus?"
"I would do my best to explain to you all those details, my Lord! When the previous Lord died, taxes are still collected each week and still paying the servants each month."
"But without the Lord, military's fund in Veta is stopped, no more upgrade in increasing troops or equipment though still paying for the soldiers monthly."
"Also, no opening any parties or modifying the taxes, the paperwork is still being solved regularly, but most of the money is not spent, My Lord."
"Where is the money now?"
"The taxes are stored inside the basement, my Lord! If you like to get there with me then I would lead you there."
"Why did His Majesty not do anything to improve this land when he took the own all the lands which have no Lords, Markus?"
"His Majesty mostly paying his attention on the wealth lands, my Lord! Veta is just average land which has an average economy, not too much attractive to develop."
"What's about the fate of the previous Lord's family when he died 3 months ago?"
"The family of the dead Lord who was still alive after the invasion included his wife and his son, they were still living in this castle as our rulers but have no right to solve the political affairs."
"Until His Majesty took over Veta, those two were ordered to leave the castle but they had resisted so...it would be brutal and disturbing to tell you, My Lord."
"Sarah, cover your ears or go outside or I would not take any responsibility for what you are about to hear."
"I can take it, Commander...I must be brave..." - But why did you keep covering your ears after saying "I must be brave", girl?
"Alright, Markus! Continue the story."
"Yes, my Lord! His Majesty has ordered the guards to kill the son and rape the wife until she died, and then chopped off all of their limbs and threw them into the forest for hunger animals."
"It's...so scary..." - I warned you but you didn't listen, dumbass!
"Alright, Markus! Now lead me to the next room."
"Which place do you want to go next, my Lord?"
"You said you would instruct me, didn't you? Then why do you have to ask for my order, Markus?"
"I'm very sorry if I annoyed you, my Lord." - Markus bowed to me quite deep as if he was very scared of me, maybe the previous Lord was a brute or this old man was a humble
"Just lead me to the places I haven't gone to, now I would like to see the kitchen, I would like to see how the maids work in there."
"Of course, my Lord! Right this way, please follow me." - Markus slowly raised his hand to a door on the left side of the work room and then slowly walked toward it
We later followed Markus to the door, he opened the door and then the three of us headed into a hallway, each torch was hung on each wall, away from each other a few meters. I later walked beside Markus and he slowly raised his index finger toward the torches that we were passing by, this old man was trying to instruct me as detailed as possible.
"My Lord, we normally would take the light by the sunlit from the windows in the morning to light up this castle but we would have to use these torches to light up in the night."
"To do it is quite an inconvenience for you, my Lord! But I think you will soon adapt it, your servants would do everything for you, you don't need to lay your finger, just order us to do."
Now I noticed that Sarah was quite curious because this castle was made of stones so she was walking while touching the wall and felt impressed at the old fashion of this place. But Sarah didn't enjoy that long, she soon realized that she was left behind while curious at the wall so she later kept up with me and Markus.
After dozens of seconds of walking in the hallway, the three of us stood at an entrance that had no door on it, it was a kitchen of the castle, which was beautiful to me. Markus raised his hand and walked inside alongside us, the kitchen was full of windows and I saw 4 maids in blue uniforms cleaning the room, all of them bowed to me when they saw me and then returned to clean.
"This is the kitchen, my Lord! Its structure is made of stones, if you feel hungry, even if you don't know how to cook, these maids would cook for you, every meal you like."
I later looked around and saw the kitchen's tools around the room seemed to be not too well decorated but at least it was decorated with the purpose for the maids to move in this small room easily. This time was not lunch time so the maids were all cleaning the floor by using the brooms, some were cleaning the tables, the chairs and the furnace by using the cloths.

"How would the guards and the maids eat in the castle, Markus?"
"My Lord, the guards would have to eat their meals while guarding below and on the watchtowers, the maids and must have to eat inside this room but have to sit separately if their Lord is eating with them."
"In addition, my Lord! The clean keepers - the people who clean the wastes in the restroom would only be allowed to eat after bathing many times to clean all of the wastes they have on their bodies."
"Alright, then a Lord and their family would usually eat in their private room or the kitchen, right Markus?"
"Exactly, my Lord...but please, can you please hear my request for the women in this castle, my Lord?" - Markus slowly raised his head to look at me, his face seemed to have many wishes
"Speak." - I answered Markus and he slowly pressed his mouth to my ear
"My Lord...in this castle, except me - who is considered important and the guards - who are considered can fight to protect the Lord, the remaining servants are all women - who are considered to be weak and can only do housework."
"The previous Lord was a mad perverted, he always deepened into parties and orgies by raping the maids and the clean keepers."
"Those weak women did not have power, some of them being raped heavily and have children, they hate that sick Lord to the bones."
"During the invasion, that man died but the servants have been raped by the monsters, what a tragedy for them, my Lord."
"The guards are killed and powerlessly trying to kill the monsters, some later managed to run away...the ones you saw outside the castle are survivors, my Lord."
"I was so coward by hiding under the basement with the Lord's relatives, I could have saved some of those servants but I didn't do anything." - Markus was tearing up a bit but he kept holding his tears
"Now that terrible incident has passed away but these women servants are still haunted by the trauma the previous Lord and the monsters caused to them, please give them a new hope, my Lord."
"Alright, I understood, old man...I don't know what I can do but I would do my best." - I tapped Markus's shoulder and he made a happy smile
"Thank you very much, my Lord."
"But wait...I didn't see Sarah anywhere, where is that dumbass now?" - Now I noticed that Sarah has vanished and did not appear behind me anymore so I was pointing my head around the kitchen to find her
Great, Sarah must have gone to the kitchen and then chatted with some maids when I didn't notice. She was crouching around a furnace and asked a maid with her funny expression as if she wanted to know how to cook in the medieval age - this silly has never gone to Royal's kitchen when she was living in the Palace.
"Lord Sarah is quite sociable and very friendly, my Lord! Do you need me to call her to return here?"
"No, Markus! Just leave that girl there, she would like to have free time to learn all the things here, now lead me to another room."
"Would you like me to lead you to your private room, my Lord? I think you should store your belongings before going around all the places of your house."
"I'm sorry for letting you wear your large bag, your shoulders must be fatigued now, my Lord."
"No, no, I'm alright! Lead me to my private room, Markus."
"If you say so...my Lord, this way." - Markus slowly raised his hand out of the door and then walked outside, this old man was kind...but I could not judge too fast, must find out more about him
This time, we walked out of the hallway and then headed back to the workroom, Markus later opened the door from the right side and then headed in alongside me. At the time I walked in, I realized that the hallway from the right side was way more different than the hallway from the left sight, this place was built with a more beautiful structure, very impressed me.
"My Lord, I forgot to instruct you this, the left side would be the living places of the servants and the right side would be the living place of the Lord and their family."
"Both of these hallways would be called in the different names such as the servants' zone and the Lord's zone, my Lord."
"How's about your living place, Markus? Do you also live here with your family?" - I was pointing my head to a room that seemed to be a toilet
"No, my Lord! The Lord's advisor would not be allowed to bring their family to live in the castle and the Advisor would live in a special room in the servants' zone."
"What is the room we are standing before, Markus?" - I pointed to the room which I considered a toilet
"That room is a restroom for the Lord and their family, my Lord! But I have just ordered the servants to clean all rooms in the castle at the time the guard reported me about your appearance."
"The clean keepers are still cleaning there, the place is still dirty, my Lord."
"I would like to see the room, open the door for me."
"As you wish, my Lord." - Markus slowly pulled out brown leather gloves which were stored behind a pouch in his back and then wore the gloves
Markus later touched the door's handle and opened it, the first thing coming in front of me at the time I walked in was the stinky waste, which seemed to not come from the toilet but the crates. In the round wooden crates which were placed on the floor from each toilet room, there were 6 Clean keepers - the women who wore white cloaks, covered their faces with white cloths and wore leather gloves.
I saw one clean keeper commanding while the others were using small wooden shovels to dig the wastes under the pillars' holes and then spill those wastes into the crates. Well, I very much respect these people, people who work for low jobs in the society like cleaning the garbage or cleaning the streets would mostly get disregarded, but without them, our places would never be cleaned.
"Did not find any wastes in these holes, cleaner! We are cleared." - A clean keeper talked to her leader and then slowly put the small dirty wooden shovel on a holster that was hung on her belt
"Alright, let's move out!" - The clean keeper leader yelled and then all clean keepers grabbed the crates and slowly lifted them
"Ahh, my Lord! I'm very sorry for letting you see us doing this filthy job." - The clean keepers saw me so they made a slight bow to me while bringing the crates to the door
"I don't want to disturb these workers anymore, lead me to my room, Markus."
"Ahh, yes, my Lord." - Markus opened the door and then walked out with me, he stored his gloves in his pouch again
We later walked into the hallway and I could see 3 doors which were placed beside each other and at the end of the corner, those rooms must be the Lord's rooms, Markus was doing all of his best to instruct me, what a devoted worker. After heading to the last door, Markus stopped in front of it and I opened the door instead of letting him open it, I walked inside and saw that my room's size was fine to me, it was average but the decoration was very well.
The bed was wide and fit for two adults, the working table and the furniture around seemed very well decorated. Though the room was a bit dark to me, this time was still in the morning but the room was a little bit dark, a bit annoying to me but I would renew this room after living here for a while, I think.
"This room has been cleaned very much to purify its dirty smell, the previous Lord has made many orgies with the maids in this room."
"I hope you would not be annoyed too much about this detail, my Lord."
"I won't, Markus! But now explain to me about two other rooms besides this one."
"Those rooms are the additional rooms for the Lord and his family, my Lord! Those are used for their kids and the Lord's wife if she cannot stay with him in the same room."
"I see, thanks for your explanation, Markus." - I later walked to the chair and put my Alrotz bag on it, now I only have an M1911 pistol, an M9 bayonet and a sword with me
"Are you ready to get to another room, my Lord?"
"Yeah, of course! I would like t-"
"Hey, what are fuck! Who do you think you are, women! Get the fuck off here! You think you can dismiss us, huh!" - Many yells coming outside, I was wondering what was happening
"Get out of here with me, Markus! I want to see what's going on outside."
"Yes, my Lord!" - Both of us later walked outside and then walked back to the place which had the yells - the workroom
I walked fast in the hallway with Markus and then saw green soldiers who wore cloth clothes and were armed with short wooden rifles with bayonets and crossbows coming toward us. Those women soldiers were raising their crossbows and moving into each room like the way the Special Force soldiers were doing the training course, the CQB (Close quarter combat).
I felt a bit nervous so I pulled out my pistol, the women soldiers saw me and then bowed toward me and then returned to breach the rooms. The clean keepers who were bringing the crates were confused and were hesitant to do their job, I walked with Markus to the clean keepers.
"Get out of my way, now!" - I yelled very loud and some of the clean keepers were startled but they managed to hold the crates tight to not let them fall
I walked outside of the hallway with Markus and opened the door, at the time I walked to the work room and looked at the left side, I saw Sarah was pulling Hatano away as if to stop her from doing something. I later saw a dozen of the castle guards who were standing on the right side and now being threatened because the women soldiers were pointing their rifles with bayonets toward the guards.
"Sis, please stop! Don't threat them anymore!" - Sarah kept pulling Hatano away but she could not pull her big sis, Hatano was looking toward the guards with her very deadly look
"Now all of you, 17 guards who are working in this castle must have to be dismissed, the company of these 120 soldiers would take over the castle." - Hatano spoke to the guards in her low voice, but with a very deadly tone
"Fuck that, how would we do if we lose our job!" - One guard yelled at Hatano
"Don't think you can do whatever you want, woman! Apologize to us now or you will have to pay!"
"We are not scared of you, woman! Don't underestimate men, we will fucking rape you and your soldiers if you dare to warn me again!"
"Why do we have to leave out jobs! Do you have any shit to pay us, woman! Don't think a whore like you can do whatever you want!"
I noticed that Markus was confused and scared so I immediately walked toward Hatano and then grabbed and squeezed her right hand. Hatano glared at me heavily and then shook my hand out of her, my subordinate did not obey me anymore, I must do something to stop her.
"Sis, please stop!" - Sarah kept trying to pull Hatano out of the door but she could not, Hatano was standing as strong as a stone which could not be moved
I heard the door opening while the guards were yelling at Hatano, I looked at the door and then saw dozens of women soldiers walking inside while holding crossbows. Those women soldiers later pointed their crossbows at the guards, they slowly walked toward us while raising their crossbows.
We were standing away from the guards less than a dozen meters, the women soldiers were now pointing their crossbows at the guards. Hatano slowly leaned her right hand to the holster which was carrying her pistol, I grabbed her right hand tightly and Hatano made a mock look at me, as if everything I was doing was according to her plan.
"Listen up, you pathetic and weak guards! You people are very lucky to be chosen to join the Army!" - Hatano yelled at the guards and they kept glaring at her
"After a week from now on, there would be an invitation for the volunteer to join Lord Rigen's army, the requirements are to remain loyal to him and me till the dead and have to be fluent in our homeland's language."
"The salary of each soldier would be 30 Attas a month, which means 300 Gels a month, it's 3 times than you people's poor shit salaries, now all of you are dismissed, get the fuck out of here now!"
"Now pay for all of us and we will get the fuck out of here, woman! Pay each of us 30 Attas!" - The guards kept yelling at Hatano
"Fine...now take your money and get out of all of you would regret."
Hatano pulled out a money bag, maybe the bag was her set up, Hatano later threw the money bag at a guard's face. All the guards kept looking at Hatano angrily and then ignored her and picked up the money bag, which was now on the floor, they lose the rope and opened the bag to see the money inside.
"I give all of you 17 fucking seconds to count the coins if you want before dying all of you here. The money in the bag is 600 Attas, count quickly and get the fuck out of my sight, pathetic."
"Remember, woman! We will revenge, don't ever think you can mess with us again, die in hell, whore." - The guards scolded Hatano and glared at her for a few seconds and then walked out of the door and then went away of the castle
When the guards finally got out of the castle, Hatano looked at me again with a mock look as if she was thinking I was pathetic for doing nothing against her. Markus and the other servants who were gathering in the workroom because of the earlier quarrel seemed to be scared of Hatano, Sarah was looking at me as if to ask me to do something because she was confused.
"Soldiers, immediately arrest Private Shizuka Hatano, now!" - I yelled loudly at the women soldiers to order them to press Hatano on the floor and then tie her hands
But after shouting my order to the women soldiers, no one of 120 of them was willing to obey me, Hatano smiled a cunning look while looking at me as if I was her puppet. The one who has a rank higher than my subordinate but could not order the soldiers to arrest her, as if I just looked like a puppet who was waiting to be controlled by my subordinate.
I immediately disarmed Hatano by locking her hands, pressed her on the floor and snatched a rope - which was strapped to the money bag earlier and now was on the floor to tie Hatano. To make sure, I also snatched a rope from a woman soldier and she didn't do anything against me, I later tied Hatano once again.
I managed to tie Hatano's hands and strapped her on a corner of the wall - which was behind my work table, Hatano did not resist me but was very cooperative to be arrested. Sarah also didn't do anything to stop me, she knew her big sister had just done something very bad and if I was not there at that time, Hatano could have killed people.
After arresting Hatano, I looked at the maids and the clean keepers who were gathering in the room with their terrified faces. I must say something to calm the people down, they must trust me, I would have to convince them that they were safe.
"Everyone, the earlier incident was just unpredictable, I'm very sorry for letting it happen." - I slowly walked around the maids and the other servants while talking to them with a loud voice to calm them down
"Now all of you are safe, return to work, as your filed, I would make sure this incident would not happen again, all of you are now safe under my protection."
The servants kept looking at me with their doubtful eyes, they seemed to untrusted me but later bowed toward me and then returned to work as usual, trying to forget what had happened earlier. The women soldiers who were in the room looked at me and saluted and then they deployed their troops into each place of the castle to guard, the company has finally taken over the castle.
"Hahahahahahahahaha!"
The laugh which was sounding in my work room came from Hatano, she was making a sick smile and even her little sister was also scared of her. Hatano was very strange today, she would never laugh or express her emotions but only kept her emotionless face, this girl was very weird today.
"Commander, I don't think that retard Princess can love you in madness when you are just pathetic and weak, you are scared of me and don't even dare to hurt me, hahahaha!"
"You can't make a woman scared of you, Commander! You can't even make up the fast decisions until things have gone bad, hahahaha!"
"Sarah, you take care of your sister, do your best to calm her down, do not let her get agitated, she is now crazy."
"See, Sarah? John's voice didn't have strength on it, his voice didn't have a scary tone, you should not be along with him for any longer, hahahahahahaha!"
"Ahhhh, everything is according to my plan, Commander...so fun to play with your emotions, hahahaha!" - Hatano kept laughing very sick and Sarah was hugging Hatano, this girl was very scared of her big sis's sick behavior now
"Getting arrested is also "according to your plan", Hatano?"
"Of course not, Commander...but I know that you cannot have a gut to hurt me, that detail is according to my plan."
"I didn't know what is wrong with you but seems like you don't worth being a man, not even worth being a woman or an animal, so pathetic...I'm praising you, love it?"
"You don't know how to use violence, Commander! You don't even worth to be bacterial, you don't worth to be a man, what an American loser."
I later left Hatano in my work room and let Sarah deal with her older sister, I later ordered Markus to go with me. I and Markus walked through all the places in the castle, from getting to each servant's room to the basement to collect the money, later walked to the castle's backyard and the other places.
Though I said we walked through all the places but I only made the fast go with Markus while hearing his short explanation. After returning to my work room, I announced to Markus that I would like him to retire and hand over the job Advisor for Hatano, I would deal with this crazy girl later.
"My Lord, I have already written all of the information that I know to help my successor...but do you think she will be fine, my Lord?" - Markus gave me a paper that he wrote - the details were to the explanation of the Advisor job
"I will deal with her, now please return to your house with your family, Markus! Your wife and your nephew are waiting for you to go home." - I gave Markus a money bag which was as enough as his previous salary, he was worth being paid to enjoy his retirement
"Thank you very much, my Lord! I would not forgive your kindness, you are very kind to me."
Markus's right hand was holding luggage - which was holding his belongings which have just been collected in his room a few minutes ago. Now his left hand was holding the money bag, an old man like him would be easy to be robbed during the return, I must order Markus to wait.
"Markus, you said your home is located near here, right? In the field?"
"Yes, my Lord! I have a son who is now living in the town but I didn't live with him but with my old wife and my nephew, my house is near this castle, just away from it 2 fields."
"Now follow me outside, Markus." - I grabbed Markus and then walked with him outside of the castle, Markus was a bit confused but he later accepted to go with me
At the time I walked outside with Markus, Private Seridov was still guarding the green carriage, I could use this vehicle to drive this old man home. I later pointed at 4 women soldiers who were guarding the castle's gate to tell them to get inside the carriage, I later led Markus to Private Seridov.
Private Seridov was a bit confused when 4 soldiers walked into the carriage that she was guarding. She later saw me and made a military salute to me, I tapped Seridov and pointed my thumb to the castle's door, she later nodded and headed inside the castle.
"Markus, I would order these soldiers to escort you home, an old man like you is very likely to be robbed, now get in for your safety."
I put Markus into the carriage with 2 soldiers sitting inside, two others riding the horses. Markus's expression seemed to be forced to obey me but I smiled at him slightly to calm him down.
"Thank you, my Lord...I would not forgive your kindness, I would tell this story to my old folks that you are a good Lord." - Markus expressed his thought about me while sitting on the carriage
"Now tell these soldiers about your house location and they would drive you there, remember to live long, old man." - I stopped talking to Markus and tapped a woman soldier who was riding a horse
"You soldiers treat this old man good...or all of you would have the punishment."
"Roger that, Sir." - Both of the soldiers nodded to me
The carriage later rolled its wheels and ran out of the castle, I looked at the carriage for a few seconds and then walked inside the castle. At the time I walked inside, Sarah was still sitting beside Hatano and Private Seridov was now guarding beside them.
Hatano had stopped talking an hour ago, she didn't show any emotions anymore as if she intentionally to be crazy in the previous incident to play me. Sarah was quite a headache after seeing Hatano's crazy behavior, I tapped on Sarah and she looked at me, I pulled her up and then pulled her toward Private Seridov.
"Sarah, Stansa is away from here less than 20 minutes of walking, now go there to own your land." - I later looked at Private Seridov
"Seridov, you guard Private Sarah, protect her at all costs."
"Roger that, Sir."
"Hey, Sarah must go with me, Commander...release me and I will obey you."
"Shut up, Hatano." - When Sarah has gone away from her older sister, I would deal with Hatano
"I will return soon, sis! Please wait for me." - Sarah hugged Hatano a big hug and then got out of her hands, she later kept staring at her big sis until she has gone out of the castle
