Balin returned with urgent news: an assassin from the Raven Organization attempted to kill Simo, but failed. Simo survived and is now hunting the assassin, increasing security in Kakasong City. Lynn considered Simo's survival beneficial, as it solidified his control over Morgan Town without the disruption of a new bishop. He also inquired about progress in contacting Sir Ludovico Dons.

Lynn has more time to develop Morgan Town, develop the realm.

Red, who guarded Lynn’s side, spoke to Lynn.

"Master, the guards have prepared hot water. Do you need to soak and bathe for a while?"

Upon hearing Red’s words, Lynn withdrew his gaze and responded.

"I need it."

Although the temperature in September was gradually cooling down.

Lynn, after archery training and labor, was covered in the sticky smell of sweat.

Lynn stepped forward into the reception hall, heading deeper into the corridor.

Walking through the carpeted corridor, he turned several corners.

Lorenzo, waiting at a door, appeared in Lynn’s sight.

Clearly.

That was the room the guards had arranged for Helena.

Lorenzo, guarding the door, also saw Lynn and Red walking over.

As Lynn approached, Lorenzo quickly bent down to salute, respectfully saying.

"Lord!"

Lynn glanced at Lorenzo, and a thought occurred to him.

Lorenzo’s Personal Attribute Panel instantly emerged.

Other than possessing Level 3 Swordsmanship, Level 2 Riding Skill and Archery, he had no Talent or Skills.

Closing Lorenzo’s panel, Lynn spoke.

"The Manor Castle is safer than you imagined."

"If you’re tired, you can also rest in the adjacent room."

Listening to Lynn’s calm voice, Lorenzo gratefully replied.

"Thank you, Lord."

Lynn responded briefly, stepping past Lorenzo and heading toward the main bedroom.

Arriving at the bedroom door.

Red, following close to Lynn, quickened his steps to thoughtfully open the door for Lynn.

Oil lamps on the walls illuminated the entire spacious suite bedroom.

On the heavy walnut wood desk equipped with writing tools.

The candleholder with yellow-brown animal fat candles was also burning brightly.

In front of the desk, on the carpeted space, there was a large wooden bathtub.

Inside the bathtub.

Petals swirled in the hot water, constantly steaming.

On the adjacent wooden table, a clean set of satin clothes was placed.

Lynn, having already lived here for several nights, was accustomed to the bedroom environment.

Lynn said to Red at his side.

"Go rest, I’ll bathe myself."

Without Kuisi or Janet around, it was fine for Red to serve him meals.

But for such private matters as bathing, Lynn didn’t want much involvement with Red!

Red quickly bent down in reply.

"Yes, Master, rest early. Red takes his leave."

With Master Lynn’s response, Red bowed and retreated.

As the wooden door closed, the spacious and bright bedroom fell into silence.

Lynn, without any concern, removed all his clothes and stepped into the bathtub.

As Lynn sat down slowly.

The comforting and warm water rose steadily.

When it reached Lynn’s chest, it stopped at just the right level.

Neither overflowing nor compromising the comfort of soaking.

Sitting in the wooden bathtub, Lynn gazed directly at the bedroom’s ceiling.

Thoughts quickly turned in Lynn’s mind.

The development plan direction for Morgan Town had been mostly completed.

Lynn just needed to delegate the ideas in his mind to different managers for high-level execution.

Morgan Town could then enter a stable development phase.

Once everything was arranged.

Lynn could return to the realm and plan for further development!

Even though Morgan Town boasted 120,000 acres of farmland, abundant labor, and 5,600 garrison soldiers...

In Lynn’s view, Morgan Town was always just a line of defense for the realm!

The focus of all development could only be on the territory beyond Weng City!

The core must be the realm, expanding step by step to the surrounding areas for a radiating rule.

Only this way.

Could a fortress-like nation within a nation be built!

Thud~ thud~ thud~

As Lynn pondered while looking at the bedroom ceiling, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the double wooden doors in front of the bathtub.

After several rounds of strengthening his body.

Lynn’s keen sense and hearing.

Naturally picked up on the faint yet noticeable footsteps outside the bedroom.

Neither linen shoes nor leather shoes.

Lynn felt it was more like barefoot steps crossing the carpeted hallway’s sound.

Moreover.

The footsteps grew closer, approaching his bedroom.

In Lynn’s attentive listening, the footsteps drew nearer.

Finally, they stopped before the double wooden doors where Lynn was gazing, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Knock knock~

Light, not heavy, door knocks sounded.

Before Lynn could speak and inquire.

Outside the door, a woman’s magnetic voice inquired.

"Lord... have you fallen asleep?"

Such distinctive words were naturally Helena Wells.

Lynn replied, "Not yet."

"Helena Manor Lord, it’s so late, is there anything?"

After Lynn’s words, the outside of the double wooden doors fell silent.

Although there was no sound outside.

Lynn could clearly hear and sense a rapidly beating heartbeat and slightly quickened breathing from outside the double wooden doors.

Helena was standing behind the closed double wooden doors.

After a few seconds of silence.

Helena, as if making up her mind, spoke with a hint of determination in her tone.
