The envoy from Sakura city was Bryan, Sakura City’s City Lord’s youngest son. He was extremely fat and seemed to weigh at least 100 or 120 kilograms. He literally looked like a meatball.
Bryan didn’t really want to come. If it wasn’t because his father had forced him to come here, he would have never come to this barren land.
'Look at those people demolishing their houses. The autumn harvest is near, winter would follow soon after, and the weather would get extremely cold. They must have something wrong with their brains to be demolishing houses right now.'
It takes 7 or 8 days just to build a house made of wood, not to mention houses made of rammed earth walls or wooden bricks would take three or four weeks.
Bryan shook his head. He hadn’t even met Sedona City’s City Lord yet, but he had already labeled him as a foolish noble.
He was worried about the task his father had given him. But remembering the information he had gotten about Sedona City, he wasn’t worried anymore and thought that he could quickly finish the task.
According to his sources, Carter, Sedona City’s former city lord, had sold his noble title and territory to a merchant named Lucas at a high price of 30 gold coins.
Carter’s scheme wasn’t a secret in the noble group, and a few nobles had even copied him.
First, he would sell his territory in secret. Then, he would create problems and cause troubles for the buyer in secret. Finally, he would either buy back his territory and noble title at a low price or even kill the buyer and then take back his territory and noble title.
Bryan believed that the guy named Lucas was currently bankrupt. He had even brought a ton of wheat, so there was no way he could maintain his noble lifestyle.
Bryan believed that if he expressed his willingness to sponsor or make deals with Lucas, Lucas would agree to his request very quickly and he would be able to return to Sakura City immediately.
Bryan felt his heart ache when he thought about the wheat he had to gift to Sedona City. In his mind, he blamed his father for being too generous. He thought that nobles in this barren land would be satisfied with just about anything.
“The other party is so disrespectful. He made the Young Master wait for almost 15 minutes already.” One of Bryan’s guards said he was a little unhappy.
Bryan was being carried by several guards. After hearing the guard’s words, Bryan’s face darkened as he looked at the closed gate. He had indeed been waiting at the door for about 15 minutes.
“Disrespectful. Very disrespectful. Merchants will be merchants. Even if they become nobles, they are still merchant nobles full of stinky copper odor. They have no etiquette at all.”
Bryan was arrogant. After his ancestors brought a noble title and Sakura City, many generations had passed, so he had become a pure noble, not a greedy and disrespectful merchant.
It was common to buy and sell noble titles in the western land. Real nobles don’t really bother to care about these barren lands.
Of course, only the noble titles of barons and viscounts were allowed to be sold. Higher ranked noble titles could only be granted by royals.
Just when Bryan was getting impatient, the castle gate opened. Ben came out, wearing the butler uniform Lucas brought from Earth.
“Sir Bryan, welcome to Sedona City.” Ben said politely.
Bryan blinked and glanced at Ben’s clothes. 'So this is Sedona City’s city lord, Lucas? The clothes he’s wearing are more expensive than the ones I’m wearing. Also, didn’t they say that Lucas was only about twenty years old? How come he got so much older?'
Bryan mistook Ben for Lucas. “Baron Lucas, I am happy to be able to arrive at Sedona City.” Bryan hurriedly made his guards put him down and saluted Ben.
“Uh…” Ben was dumbfounded as he realized that Bryan had mistaken him for Lucas. A strange look flashed through his eyes, but his expression remained unchanged as he said, “Sir Bryan, Young Master has ordered people to prepare refreshments. Please come with me.”
“Young master? Cough cough…” Bryan wasn’t stupid, and he immediately realized that he had made a mistake, as he had even mistook someone else as the master of the house.
Ben turned his head and led the way. The corner of his mouth twitched. 'Who does this short fatty think he is? How could the Young Master lower himself to meet him?'
'A descendent of a noble? To be able to even mistake a butler as a young master, the nobles of Sakura City doesn’t seem to be a big deal after all.' Bryan’s expression was ugly. If he knew that Ben thought that he was a useless noble, he would probably not be able to control himself and would kill someone.
Bryan realized that the castle wasn’t simple as he traveled through the castle. Many of the facilities inside were made for war.
In the living room, Bryan sat on the chair, staring at the refreshments on the table.
“These are refreshments?”
There were a few small and delicate pastries inside an exquisite ceramic plate. The pastries were made by a maid.
May and Nicole could make even more delicate pastries, but Nicole would only make pastries for Lucas to eat.
“Yes, Sir Bryan, please take your time to enjoy them. Young Master still has a few affairs to tend to and will come over soon.”
Ben was trying to hold in his laughter. He was afraid that if he kept looking at Bryan’s bumpkin-like appearance, he would burst out in laughter, so he hurriedly left the living room.
“How could these be pastries? They’re so beautiful.” Bryan carefully picked up a pastry and slowly stuffed it in his mouth.
“This taste… amazing!”
Bryan found that the pastries that he had eaten in the past weren’t even 0.1% as good as these pastries. Those pastries tasted like dog shit.
“Wow! This pastry has a different flavor."
“Hm? This smells so fragrant, and it gets more fragrant the more I chew on it. This is a delicacy of the human world."
“God damn, why are there no more pastries left? This… can this plate also be eaten?”
Crack!
