I Try To Enjoy My Life But This Woman Keep Calling Me Villain-Chapter 179: Interlude
|3rd POV|
Duke Itor looks at his fellow lords and says.
"Thank you for coming here this early in the morning"
Lord Benham shrugs and says.
"Don’t worry about it, my friend. I’m already used to waking up this early"
"Yes" Lord Sarhakan nods "We are happy to come here, Duke Itor"
Duke Itor smiles and nods.
"Thank you. Anyway, the reason why I call you guys here is because I want to ask for your guidance."
"Our guidance?" Lord Benham looks at his old friend in confusion "On what matter, my friend?"
Lord Sarhakan nods his head in agreement. He also wants to know what is the matter.
Duke Itor takes a deep breath and says.
"I want to talk about how to make a great impression with Gwyn of the Six Stars Party. I learned that they are coming from the south and they are staying in your cities for a good amount of time."
Duke Itor takes a deep breath and continues.
"Help me make them stay in my city."
Lord Benham and Sarhakan look at each other for a few seconds, thinking of how to talk this out.
After a few seconds of silence, Lord Benham looks at Duke Itor and says.
"This will be hard, my friend. Gwyn is a married man. He is married to Lady Silva and he is the fiancee to Lady Hilda. Lady Sonia is the daughter of Sir Gwyn. The only ones you can try to make it stay are Sir Jonathan and Sir Jullian."
Lord Benham knows what his friend wants to do. Duke Itor has a daughter around the age of Gwyndolin and Benham knows that his friend wants to try and marry his daughter to a worthy man and he knows that Gwyn and his companion are worthy of his daughter.
"I see. That is worth a try. These two men are worthy of my daughter. They are powerful and loyal by the look of it."
Duke Itor and the others already see how Jonathan and Jullian fight. They are a beast when they are fighting.
Jullian runs across the wall of Belltown with his sword in hand that he enchants with the power of lightning.
Jonathan on the other hand shoots his arrow across the battlefield with an insane precision. He can shoot down a monster a kilometer away from him using his bow and arrow.
"What about Lady Sonia?"
Duke Itor looks at the two lords and releases a sigh.
"I’m a father to a daughter and I know the difficulty of leaving your daughter for another person. I don’t think that my daughter is worthy of her."
Lord Benham looked at his friend in shock before saying.
"What are you saying, my friend? Your daughter is beautiful. I don’t know if he will accept your daughter but I know that Sir Gwyn will not think of your daughter as unworthy."
"You think so, my friend?"
"I know so, old friend"
Duke Itor smiles a little at that word.
"Thank you. Then I will try to ask my daughter to get close to them. Even when they did not want to marry my daughter, I would get a good connection with them."
Lord Benham smiles a little and says. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
"That is the spirit! Anyway, there are a couple of things you need to know about them. The first thing is that they want to explore and experience the world. They want to feel what the world has to offer to them. They are free-spirited people."
Lord Sarhakan nods his head and adds a little more.
"They did not want to be caged. They are like clouds. They drift to wherever they want to be. You cannot cage them and force them to stay. Let them free but create a sense of home for them to return. Just like a bird, they need the best for them to return after a hard day of work."
Duke Itor nods his head and makes sure every word stays inside his head. He wants to make sure he remembers all the knowledge the other two lords give to him.
"The second one is that they like food." Lord Benham says with a small smile on his face. "Ask your chef to make the greatest food they can make and ask them to make a unique food that can only be found in this kingdom."
Lord Sarhakan nods his head as he remembers something from when Gwyn and his companion visited his city.
"Yes. They do like food. I have fed them the Golden Goose."
"I have asked my chef to cook the Desert Goat Stew and the Desert Fruit Salad."
Lord Benham decides to add more to the list.
Duke Itor nods his head and says.
"Golden Goose, Desert Goat Stew, and Desert Fruit Salad, huh? That leaves me with a few options."
"Not really, my friend. You have quite a bit of choice."
"What do you mean, Benham? You two already use the good one. The one we cook for a noble from another country."
"Yes. However, they like new things, you see? How about giving them extreme food? The one that we did not give to the other nobles but we ate them every day. Like goose liver, fried scorpion, or camel stew."
Duke Itor looks at them for a second before saying.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, my friend. They are delicious but if you are hesitant, what about telling them that it is a game or something? Like creating a scenario saying that those foods that we eat every day are something that a foreigner like them needs to eat to be accepted into our culture. If they don’t like it, we can say that it is a tradition and we do not need to like it and only need to eat it once."
Duke Itor looks at his friend in awe before saying.
"That is brilliant. Thank you, my friend. With this, I can make friends with them and show them that my city is not only about fighting monsters or something like that."
Lord Benham smiles and says.
"It is not a problem, my friend. It is my pleasure to help you."
Lord Sarhakan nods and says.
"Yes. It is our pleasure to help you. Not only will this benefit us but also benefit the entire kingdom. Befriending them is the right choice, after all."
Duke Itor laughs, raises the glass of wine into the air, and says.
"Hahaha! You are right! Let us toast for the bright future of our kingdom! Let the sun warmly shine upon our kingdom and make it last for thousands of years to come."
"Cheers"
"Cheers"
=//=
While the three lords cheer at their bright future, a man arrives inside the palace of Mantah City.
This is the messenger sent to the capital city of the Verlagan City to report the fight against the monster wave to the king early in the morning.
The man kneels in front of the king and waits.
"Raise and give me the report."
The man raises and says.
"Of course, Your Highness."
The man then starts to tell the king about the fight. He did not leave a single detail of the fight.
After the report is done, the king releases a sigh and leans over his throne.
"You may go"
"Of course, Your Highness"
When the messenger leaves the throne room, the king looks to the side and says something to his advisor.
"It looks like I need to use your plan, my friend."
The advisor nods his head and says.
"Yes. As much as I don’t want to do it, we need to create some sort of relationship with the Gipan and Luzia Kingdom."
The King nods and releases a sigh.
"Me too, my friend, me too. Now, let’s talk about how we do that. As much as I want to do that, which one of my family members is worthy of the Grandmaster of Medicine of the Gipan Kingdom."
The King looks at his advisor as he thinks about which member of his family he can offer to Gwyndolin.
The advisor looks at the king for a few seconds before a smile appears on his face. When the king sees that smile, the king’s face starts to get pale because he knows what his advisor is thinking.
"No. No. No. No."
The advisor looks at his king and best friend for a second before saying.
"Why? She is the best candidate for this, you know? She might be two or three years older than the Grandmaster but she is a perfect candidate. She is your little sister and the Princess of the kingdom. She is also soon to be a Duchess if she is married to someone. She is perfect."
"No. You must understand that she is not the perfect candidate for this plan. She is..."
Before the king even finishes his word, the door to the throne room opens up and a woman stands behind the door.
She has a beautiful face that makes many women envy. She has beautiful green eyes and silky smooth hair that flows to his shoulder.
"Brother! I hear someone powerful to our kingdom! Where is he?! Let me have a spar with him!"
