System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 843 - 266: Help Me Dress (10,000)

Her long, graceful legs entwined with his, wrapping snugly around each other.

Silky and pale, they extended elegantly from her dainty ankles.

Even in sleep, Janet seemed to detect the shifts happening in Lynn’s body.

A grumpy mutter slipped from her lips.

Lynn sat up and reached out with his right hand to deliver a teasing smack on the full curve of Janet’s rear.

Smack~

The sharp sound rang out through the bedroom.

A pink handprint bloomed across her creamy skin.

The abrupt stinging sensation jolted Janet’s eyes wide open from sleep.

She watched the light blanket slide away as Lynn got up.

Her entire form lay bare under Lynn’s gaze.

Brushing off the ache in her backside.

Janet yanked the blanket to cover herself in a hurry.

Her eyes bulged as she stared right at Lynn.

They brimmed with a look of deep grievance.

Lynn completely brushed aside Janet’s stare and rose from the large bed.

With his back turned to her, he remarked, “What? Not coming to help me dress?”

Hearing Lynn’s words.

Janet’s anger flared even higher, her teeth grinding together.

It wasn’t enough that he’d kept her awake all night long.

He roused her right at the break of dawn.

And now he expected her to wait on him and assist with his attire.

Seeing Lynn standing there expectantly.

Janet realized he was doing this deliberately.

Summer was already here, with daily temperatures soaring past twenty-five degrees.

Normally, just one lightweight silk robe sufficed for clothing.

Obviously, Lynn could handle dressing himself without issue.

Yet he still demanded her help!

Though deeply unwilling.

Janet grudgingly leaped from the massive bed.

She searched for her garments.

But realized she had no idea where Lynn had flung them during the night.

After pausing briefly, Janet wrapped the thin blanket around her figure.

Then.

She dashed over to Lynn and aided him into his silk robe.

Janet had barely lifted Lynn’s silk robe to dress him.

Her back-and-forth motions and shifting body caused it.

The loosely draped blanket slipped straight from beneath her arms.

Janet’s naked body was suddenly fully exposed to Lynn’s eyes...

Her eyes flew open wide!

Before she could stoop to snatch the blanket off the floor.

Powerful arms had already encircled her waist.

With a rush of dominating strength.

Janet was pulled into Lynn’s firm embrace.

As Lynn’s face drew near swiftly, a broad warm palm started roaming over her skin.

Lynn fixed his gaze on Janet right in front of him.

Right then, Janet’s eyes squeezed shut tight.

Her long curled lashes trembled without stop.

She was obviously nervous.

But bit by bit.

The stiff Janet flushed red and grew limp.

If Lynn’s left hand hadn’t steadied her waist.

Janet would have slumped straight to the ground.

Noticing Janet’s condition.

Lynn arched a brow, grabbed her left leg with his right hand, and pressed it against the wall.

Sensing Lynn pressing close and the stirrings within her.

Janet’s flushed lips parted on their own.

An hour passed.

After finishing breakfast, Lynn departed the castle alongside Red.

They passed through the Red Brick House neighborhood and reached Lord’s Square.

He planned to proceed to the Wild Boar Farm.

Across the limestone path cutting through endless fields.

A soldier rode hard on horseback toward Lord’s Square.

With a sharp tug on the reins, the soldier jumped down from his mount.

He rushed straight to Lynn.

Coming to a halt mere meters in front of Lynn.

The soldier bowed deeply and reported with respect.

"Lord, Alan the merchant just passed through Weng City, heading to the town."

"As he brings a large number of horses, Lord Rose asked me to return early to town to inform you."

As he heard the soldier’s update, Lynn raised an eyebrow.

He’d been puzzling over why Alan took so long to reach his lands.

In case trouble had arisen.

Lynn nodded and responded, "I understand, I will wait for them here."

The soldier bowed once more, retreated a few steps, then turned and left.

During the wait.

Lynn wandered over to the nearby granite Lord Statue.

He inspected the strikingly realistic body and features carved by Jode.

Even a quick glance filled one with reverence.

Lynn nodded in approval.

The statue radiated commanding presence.

Owing to the [Lord Statue] effects.

Lynn’s gaze drifted to the enormous stone base under the statue.

Names of different lengths were etched across the platform’s surface.

Lynn tallied them up—almost sixty names carved there!

He was well aware.

These were the names of soldiers who had fallen in the territory.

Without doubt.

Etching the names of these brave fallen on the Lord Statue’s platform carried great weight.

The statue itself and all of Lord’s Square gleamed with thorough cleaning.

In fact.

The statue and its platform shone from meticulous polishing.

Perfectly spotless!

When the territory’s townsfolk saw those names, they recalled the sacrificed soldiers, honoring them in their memories.

This message reached the surviving soldiers and those eager to enlist.

Should they perish fighting for the territory.

Their Lord would never forget them.

The townsmen who shared life with them before would remember too.

To Lynn, it was just a small action.

However.

To the territory, it held deep importance.

It served as memorial and homage; it showcased the soldiers’ valor and triumphs, offering spiritual strength and linking past to future!

In turn.

It strengthened the townsfolk’s sense of identity and attachment to this territory.

Hitting multiple targets with one strike!

As Lynn contemplated.

Energetic hoofbeats mixed with rumbling wheels echoed from the distance.

Lynn turned to gaze over.

There, led by Wesley and guarded by soldiers.

A train of heavily laden wagons rolled into Lord’s Square.

Heading the procession.

Atop a tall steed rode Alan Brown!

Leaping off his horse, Alan glowed with vitality and broad grins.

Spotting Lynn, he strode forward briskly.

Before even arriving, Alan called out joyfully, "Master Lynn, long time no see."

"If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it."

"It’s only been a few months, and your strength has grown immensely!"
