Master Overlord
Chapter 83
Arthur really can''t trust a bachelor completely.
At a time when the future of Xuecheng is uncertain, the fundamental interest of the bachelors is Xuecheng after all. This point, whether it is Boye or IRU bachelor, can not be excluded.
This makes it impossible for Arthur to tell both his secrets.
Like the ghost faced eagle.
Although Arthur believed that they would not do anything to undermine the stability of the riverfront, the professor said: if chaos is born, words are the order. If you don''t keep secret, you will lose your minister, if you don''t keep secret, you will lose your body, and if you don''t keep secret, you will be harmed.
What I said is quite reasonable.
The political chaos in the kingdom is a great opportunity for the development of Shanghe collar. At such a moment, even if the nobles were dissatisfied with his reform, they would not pay too much attention.
Once they know that Arthur controls a group of Warcraft and Arthur''s special reform, all the nobles will have trouble sleeping and eating!
Perhaps before the end of the chaos in the Kingdom, the noble coalition led by the Duke of the north had set foot on the land of Shanghe.
Arthur didn''t want such trouble. At least not now!
The whole river leader, Arthur fully trusted, in addition to the castle''s guard knight, there were only a few people such as Gustav.
These people may not fully understand his reform, but they are absolutely consistent with him in their positions and interests. The strength of Lingfeng castle is their strength.
In sum, the trust of the bachelors in Arthur''s heart can not compare with the serfs liberated by him.
At least the peasants now absolutely support him, the Lord.
Just as Arthur was thinking about how to form a team of secretaries to help him reduce his burden, Thorne stepped in from the door.
"Your Excellency, torio wants to see you. He seems to have come to thank you with his wife and children."
"Oh!" broke free of Leah''s little hand and Arthur sat up. "I didn''t expect to arrive so soon. That guy torio must be very happy. How''s his family?" Arthur asked happily.
"It looks good. They didn''t expect to meet again," Thorne said with a relaxed look.
"Then let them in!" Arthur smiled. "I want to see how much torio''s wife and daughter are worth his life and death."
As a lord, Arthur was happy to accept such gratitude.
With Arthur''s consent, Thorne ordered the guard outside the door to bring torio and his family to the study, and he stepped behind Arthur.
A moment later, torio stood at the door of the study with his wife and daughter.
Torio was dressed in brown leather and his grey trousers were stained with dust.
When he looked at Arthur staring at himself with a smile, the man in his thirties instantly complicated his face.
Leaving aside his wife and daughter, torio strode straight to Arthur. The next scene was like a tough man who was full of humiliation, heartache and suffering, and suddenly got rid of his tough disguise.
He knelt at Arthur''s feet on one knee.
——"My Lord!"
The hoarse voice and rolling tears reveal the endless gratitude and respect of the man who has been a husband, a father, willing to sacrifice his life for his wife and daughter and willing to be a slave.
Thorne stood aside, staring at torio with a frozen face.
In his heart, tears are not only the embodiment of men''s incompetence, but also the shame of knights. But Thorne was not relieved to see torio kneeling at Arthur''s feet and his wife and daughter standing behind him. He recognized such tears and torio, the original slave.
Torio shook his body and called Arthur, and his throat could no longer spit out a complete sentence.
Facing torio, who was hoarse and trying to express his gratitude, Arthur said, "get up, you scared the child."
"Yes, sir..." torrio stood up after he said a hoarse word in his throat.
"Winnie, come on, this is the count!" torio said to his wife behind him.
In fact, without her husband''s explanation, Winnie already knew that the young man in front of her was the count of shangheling who pardoned her husband and reunited their family.
On the way to the castle, torio has been telling her how he met the Lord, how he was pardoned as a slave, how he became his honorary knight, and how he was entrusted with an important task
But his husband forgot to tell himself that the LORD was so young.
In her husband''s description, Winnie has imagined Arthur as a tall, noble and kind middle-aged or old aristocrat!
Winnie was so nervous that she didn''t even consider her timid daughter hiding behind her.
"Lord count..." holding her skirt, according to her husband''s advice, she bent down and saluted Arthur.
Winnie''s long chestnut hair was tied behind her head, but she was still a little messy, thin, and her face looked haggard and tired.
Arthur saw her nervousness, nodded and asked with concern, "welcome to shangheling. Is everything going well all the way?"
"Thank the count for his concern. The road is very smooth!" Winnie was a little flustered by Arthur''s concern. After hastily answering Arthur''s questions, she looked up at Arthur and said nervously, "count, thank you for forgiving torio, thank you for reuniting our family, and thank you for your kindness!" this was what she had thought on her way to the castle.
Arthur smiled, nodded and said, "the difficulties are over. Your family is reunited in Shanghe town. Then take this as your new home. Here you can start a new happy life."
"Yes, thank you, count," replied Windsor immediately, still nervous.
Torio also thanked him.
Arthur nodded, ignoring the grateful two. With his head slightly sideways, he turned his eyes to the little guy hiding behind Winnie, holding his mother''s clothes, leaking a small head, wide eyes and staring at her in fear.
"Melissa, say hello to the count!" Noticing Arthur''s eyes, Mrs. Winnie immediately took out her daughter hiding behind her.
The little girl was pulled out of her back by her mother, felt the eyes of the people, ran back, grabbed her mother''s clothes, and looked timidly at Arthur and Thorne.
The scene of torio kneeling to Arthur just now reminded the little girl of her terrible experience. She was a little afraid of Arthur, especially Thorne, who stood behind Arthur, dressed in armor and had scars on his face.
It reminded her of the bad guys who had dragged his father down.
"Thorne, you scared our little guest." Arthur turned to Thorne and complained, completely ignoring the timid eyes of the little girl when she looked at him.
With his appearance, how can he scare the children.
It''s all Thorne.
