I'm not a lord

Chapter 8 You Stay

"Yagna, you can stay."

Lin En admitted that she was moved. It was really hard not to be moved by such things.

And with her loyalty at 72 points, even if we ignore the feasibility of the plan, she should still be reliable.

In an era where everyone graduates from prenatal education, being able to read and count is considered a rare talent.

Not to mention the baron's daughter who had received formal court education.

"I will always remember your kindness!" Yagena stood up excitedly.

Her plan was a great success. Not only did she bet on the right person and become a baroness again, but her new husband was even a handsome man who met her aesthetic standards.

Although marriages between nobles are mostly based on interests and lack the foothold of love.

But it is undoubtedly a blessing to have a partner with good looks.

But Lin En's next words made her feel like she was falling into an ice cave.

"Let me be clear, Yagna, you are not a baroness."

Yagena was stunned for a moment, then placed her right hand on her chest and said anxiously, "I don't understand, isn't my appearance enough to move you?"

Appearance is undoubtedly an important asset, and she is well aware of her own value.

Whether in appearance or family background, she meets the standards of a baroness.

She decided to take a desperate measure, both for revenge and to maintain her status as a lady, but she didn't expect to be dealt a heavy blow at the last moment.

"Your beauty is indeed breathtaking, but unfortunately, I already have someone I like for the position of Baroness."

For Lynn, the position of wife is also a kind of asset.

In order to strengthen the territory as much as possible, he must make full use of this capital. It would be a waste to use it on Yagna.

After all, she was just the daughter of a deceased baron, lacking power and foundation. Apart from her good looks and possible claims to territory, she was of no use.

Lin En only needed her to give birth to the legitimate heir to the Shoal Territory. It made no difference whether he married her or not.

It's cruel, but also very realistic.

"Can you tell me who she is?"

Yagna did not give up. She leaned forward, showing off her beautiful face and figure under the candlelight.

Lin En held his chin with his right hand and admired the girl openly.

"When the time is right, you'll understand. All I can promise you right now is to allow you to stay by my side and to assist you in your revenge in the future. Of course, if you wish to expedite the process of revenge, you can also assist me in governing the territory to the best of your ability. To be more clear, the most I can do is make you my mistress."

The Northern Kingdom nominally practices strict monogamy. Even for the king, women other than his wife can only be called mistresses.

However, if the mistress is powerful enough, she may be able to surpass the wife, and may even interfere in the court and dominate the country.

The current King in the North has two extremely powerful mistresses in his court.

Yagena bit her lip and remained silent for a long time. Finally, she replied with difficulty: "I need time to think about it."

Everything went well for her today.

The carefully prepared revenge plan was accepted by the lord, and she also got the man she wanted.

Two happy things overlap, and the result should be a dreamlike happy time.
But why did it turn out like this?
At this moment, the howling cold wind outside the window seemed to penetrate the thick stone wall and hit Yagna's heart heavily.

"I allow you to continue living in the castle until you think it over." After Lynn finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the door. He did not set a specific deadline for a response, giving Yagna enough time to consider.

But given the current situation, does she have any choice?

If what she said was true, where else could she go except to White Bear Leader?

To join the Duchess of the Moor again?

It was simply unrealistic. Her baron father was dead and she had lost the right to return to the court.

Lynn had just walked out of the living room and before she could close the door, skinny Old Two emerged from the shadows in the hallway.

"Big brother." The second brother obviously hesitated to speak.

"Well, go up and talk." Lynn nodded.

The two men walked up to the second floor of the castle one after the other and entered the baron's bedroom.

The castle was so simple, so you can imagine the decoration inside the bedroom. Apart from the necessary fireplace and bed, there were only some ordinary wooden furniture.

It is said that the bedroom was once decorated with valuable cashmere tapestries and animal skins, but they were long ago swept away by the fleeing knights.

The second brother was very anxious. As soon as he closed the bedroom door, he said hurriedly: "Brother, that woman is not simple."

"She's a teenage widow whose ex-husband died under mysterious circumstances, yet she continues to live in the castle as a widow. I suspect she's in cahoots with the territory's steward. Both of them are suspicious."

When the second brother attacked someone, he would choose joints or soft parts to attack, and he was also very precise in analyzing the problem.

If Lin En couldn't see the attribute values ​​and loyalty through the panel, he would probably share the same opinion as the second brother.

The fact is, Albert should be considered an honest man, but he couldn't stand Yagena's soft and hard persuasion, so he had no choice but to let her stay in the castle temporarily and wait for the next lord to deal with this "troublesome" woman.

As for Yagna's amazing wisdom, it can only be her personal masterpiece.

Because her style of doing things is typical of an aristocrat, everything can be used as a bargaining chip to achieve her goals, including herself.

And she is well versed in how nobles get along with each other.

The nobles these days are known for being straightforward and never telling riddles.

From meeting to agreeing on something and then going to bed, it basically takes no more than one dinner.

Lin En always wore a mask when he was a horse bandit, and the wanted poster only had a picture of him wearing a mask.

When he was traveling in the North, he would occasionally borrow the identities of some nobles who died at his hands, and he hooked up with many lonely noble ladies, some married, some single, some good, some bad.

"Second Brother, your analysis makes sense. These two are indeed not simple people, but don't worry, I can handle them."

Lin En's confidence comes from his current status as a baron, and more importantly, from the military force in his hands.

The horse bandits who roamed the northern border would not be defeated in a small barony.

Today, he didn't even need to show the letter of commission signed by the Duke. Just by his aura, he made Albert believe that he must be a baron.

"Brother, are you really going to marry her? I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but her voice was really loud and I accidentally heard a few words." The second brother was very straightforward and always said what he thought.

"She'll just stay in the castle. She's a literate and numerate person, and can be very useful in governing the territory."

"No, brother, are you really planning to be the lord for a long time?"

"Otherwise, you've seen what's happening in White Bear Territory right now. There's nothing left except serfs, and the warehouses are all empty. We have to hold out until the autumn harvest, then we can start making money."
