"Or do you think that the Gold Pounds, which were a gift from me to you, can be used as a request for me to pay the price?"
"Fifteen Gold Pounds per month, I can give to Captain Samuel, and equally, I can give to the guards behind you, or even to others!"
Samuel instantly fell silent, his eyes moved slightly.
As expected.
Lord Lynn is far more astute and wise than he imagined.
After thinking for a few seconds.
Samuel looked at Lynn, his expression firm as he spoke.
"Lord Lynn, as long as you are willing to take them in, Samuel can do anything for you!"
Lynn’s gaze turned to Samuel, and their eyes met instantly.
Samuel did not dodge in the slightest.
Lynn said with satisfaction, "Very good!"
"Captain Samuel, I accept your request."
"From this moment on, they can stay in my territory, living as the children of the territory’s residents."
Receiving a positive reply from Lord Lynn.
Underneath the standard plate armor, Samuel’s body trembled as he bowed and expressed his gratitude.
"Samuel thanks Lord Lynn on behalf of the children!"
Lynn said nothing, stepping forward toward the distant carriage.
Red and Samuel followed closely, without a word.
A few meters from the carriage’s compartment.
Lynn stopped, his gaze sweeping over each child in front of him.
A series of attribute panels flashed before Lynn’s eyes.
These children, the youngest only four or five years old, the eldest no more than fourteen.
They all suffered from a lack of food, lacking sufficient nutrition, appearing thin and frail.
However,
Just as Samuel said.
Their eyes were filled with pure and bright light, despite the varied colors of their pupils.
Perhaps.
Before they arrived in Morgan Town, before stepping onto this land.
Samuel had already introduced Lynn to the children.
Especially, after Lynn approached the carriage compartment.
These children looked at Lynn with curious and tense eyes.
Lynn even heard whispers of ’Fire of Lorraine’ from the mouths of several children.
Lynn didn’t mind, he looked at Red and spoke.
"Inform Kuisi to come to Lord’s Square and prepare food and accommodation for these children, as well as clothing freshly made by the textile workshop."
Red immediately nodded in response, summoning a guard to issue instructions right away.
Within seconds.
The commanded guard quickly ran off.
Under the watchful eyes of the children, Lynn left the carriage with Red and Samuel.
Lynn faintly heard the children’s soft yet joyful whispers behind him.
"Nancy, is he the Fire of Lorraine? He looks about your age!"
"Nancy, does this mean we can stay here, eat food, live in houses, and have brand new clothes?"
"Nancy, does it mean we no longer have to beg for food?"
"..."
Standing at the edge of the carriage compartment, with both hands clutching the railing, Nancy did not answer the children’s inquiries behind her.
Her eyes were fixed on Lynn’s back...
Coming to sit on a bench, Lynn looked at Samuel, who followed behind him, and asked.
"Captain Samuel, I have agreed to your request."
"Besides these, is there anything else you need to report to me?"
Samuel nodded, thoughts whirling in his mind, and after thinking for a few seconds, he spoke.
"Lord, Kakasong has remained calm during this period."
"However, Samuel believes it is merely the calm before the storm comes."
"Bishop Semo is recruiting believer soldiers within the Church’s followers, attempting to expand the number of armed soldiers."
"The Free Noble led by Sir Ludovico Dons is secretly uniting."
"They want to seize the position of the new leader of Kakasong City from Bishop Semo."
"If Samuel’s guess is correct, the previous Raven Killer assassination was commissioned by Sir Ludovico Dons!"
"Not only Samuel, but Bishop Semo can also certainly guess it."
"However, due to Sir Ludovico Dons’ status among the Free Nobles and the failure to capture the Raven Killer or find corresponding evidence..."
"Bishop Semo has not issued an order for Samuel to capture Sir Ludovico Dons."
Lynn nodded, without saying a word.
Lynn could clearly feel that after he promised Samuel’s request to let the children stay.
Samuel’s report was no longer as evasive as before.
Even, without needing Lynn to inquire.
Samuel voluntarily revealed all his speculations.
Perhaps.
As Samuel said.
The Church Bishop Semo and other clergy care about wealth, the flesh, and power.
Whereas Samuel cares about these orphans.
These orphans are his weakness.
Seeing Lord Lynn remains silent, Samuel’s thoughts continued to recall.
Soon.
Samuel thought of something and continued to speak.
"There is one more thing, Samuel almost forgot to report to you, Lord."
Lynn raised an eyebrow slightly, asking.
"What is it?"
Samuel spoke, "Not long ago, Sir Ludovico Dons gathered a group of Free Nobles for a midnight meeting."
"Among the Free Nobles, there is a somewhat special Free Noble—Megan Edwin!"
"She is one of the few female Patriarchs of the Free Noble Clan in Kakasong City."
"If that was all, Samuel would not specifically report this to you, Lord."
