Chapter 300 – 176: Lady Baroness Crowley’s Request (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_3

Basically, everything that needed fixing had been fixed. Lord Reine touched the wooden handrail and found it smooth and like new.

Seeing this, the butler Henrik couldn’t help but laugh. “My lord, the County Town administration has designated staff to clean this place every three days, so you can move in at any time.”

Lord Reine nodded. “It’s indeed well-maintained. Lord Henrik, thank you for bringing me here. I’ve decided on this one.”

“Very well, my lord, Madame Baron Crawley, Miss Jenny, the Earl has some matters that require my attention, so I will take my leave now.” Butler Henrik bowed slightly as he said his farewells.

Before leaving, he gave Lord Reine a knowing smile that only men understand.

This left Lord Reine quite speechless; he was indeed innocent.

“Lord Reine, when do you plan to move in?” Baroness Crawley flirted with her hair as she spoke.

After a moment’s thought, Lord Reine responded, “As soon as possible. I plan to get my family settled here and then leave the County of Meister for a while.”

“After all, the public order is relatively better in the County Town, and that will give me more peace of mind.”

“Hmm? Lord Reine, you’re leaving again?” the beautiful woman asked in surprise.

“Yes, I’m going to the County of Rossby to train with a master of swordsmanship for about a month and will return then.”

“By the way, madam, if you encounter any issues you can’t resolve, you can contact me. This time, I’ll take the Blue Helm Dove Jenny gave me last time,” Reine said with a smile.

As the beautiful woman heard that Lord Reine was going to enhance his abilities, her eyes sparkled, and she nodded in approval, also smiling as she said:

“I finally understand why you, Lord Reine, are so powerful at such a young age. Besides your extraordinary knightly talent, this dedication is also beyond ordinary people.”

“Indeed, young William of the Stend family has also passed the knight’s ennoblement examination. The empire has not officially issued it yet, but little William has already been celebrating at home for three days,” Jenny remarked with a slight disdain.

…

After inspecting the mansion from top to bottom, Lord Reine returned to the nearby Crawley family home with Baroness Crawley and Jenny.

“Lord Reine, it is already dinner time; I have already instructed the servants to prepare a banquet. Please grace us with your presence,” the beautiful woman invited with a smile.

“This… won’t I be imposing?” Lord Reine looked up at the sky, and indeed the sun was setting.

He had planned to take some books related to the Armor Casting Technique and return to his home in Flashgold Town, but now it seemed rather late.

Earlier today, he had helped the Crawley family retrieve some Bordeaux wine that had been stolen, and in the afternoon, he had visited Count Habs and inspected his future baronial mansion. Time had flown faster than he anticipated.

“Yes, Lord Reine, you have helped the Crawley family a great deal this time; please honor us.” Jenny also said with a smile.

“Then, all right,” Lord Reine nodded.

A dinner it was, and since the hosts had repeatedly invited him, it would be inappropriate to refuse any further. Lord Reine readily agreed.

Immediately thereafter, he followed Baroness Crawley and Jenny to the Crawley family’s banquet hall, which was also the dining room.

The walls of the banquet hall were adorned with numerous shields, antlers, and other decorations, and over a dozen mountain-shaped candle holders lit up the entire hall brilliantly. An antique long table was laden with various foods, fine wines, and large bouquets of flowers.

Although there were only three people dining—Lord Reine, Baroness Crawley, and Jenny—the food served was incredibly lavish.

The beautiful woman, knowing Lord Reine’s exceptional appetite as a Transcendent knight, had specifically instructed the kitchen to prepare two types of expensive, ferocious animal meats.

After devouring an entire roast Red Crown turkey and a pot of stewed Cliff Spiked Wild Boar, a warm flow slowly rose in Lord Reine’s stomach and spread to his limbs.

“Lord Reine, this is the twenty-year Bordeaux you helped retrieve. Please, taste it and see how it is,” the beautiful woman said, smiling as she gestured with her wine glass.

Looking at the amber-like red fine wine, Lord Reine could already smell the mix of grape and aged oak barrel, which made him eager to taste this world’s red wine.

“Thank you, madam.” Lord Reine raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.

Immediately, a rich and aromatic flavor of fruits and wine circulated in his mouth, and the taste was quite excellent.

Thus, accompanied by Baroness Crawley and Jenny, Lord Reine thoroughly enjoyed his meal.

During dessert, Lord Reine inquired, “Madam, about the book on Armor Casting Technique, I would like to borrow it for a while, if I may…”

“Of course, Lord Reine, please follow me,” said the somewhat flushed beautiful woman after drinking, as she got up and led the way.

In fact, the beautiful woman was also quite nervous about what was to happen.

Since her husband, Baron Crawley, had passed away a year ago, the stunningly beautiful woman had been coveted by many, including wealthy merchants and nobles…

Initially, she believed that with the Crawley family’s foundation and her business acumen, she would manage smoothly.

However, the beautiful woman soon realized that although she was capable in business and managing the family, in this world where power outweighed everything else, the Crawley family without a core fighting force was like a sailboat without a mast—vulnerable to capsizing in any significant storm.
