The dragon lady doesn't like the lord

"I said that all matters in the territory this year will be handed over to you. Even if you sell the territory, I won't say a word."

Leonard Hughes frowned slightly when he heard this;

"Just treat me as if I were dead. You are the one in charge now."

He didn't want to wait until he died before his eldest son began to manage the territory.

Now, while I am still here, I should cultivate his ability to handle things independently.

"I know, Father."

Leonard Rod used to not care much about family matters because everything was decided by his father.

Now that I have to handle everything by myself, I realize how difficult it is to manage a territory.

"Don't worry, your father is dead, but you still have your mother."

The person who spoke was a woman in her forties. She rolled her eyes at the man sitting at the main seat, then looked at her son tenderly.

She is Leonard Ron and Rod's mother, Leonard Ensalind.

"And me, big brother!"

A little girl who looked only eleven or twelve years old patted her chest, as if she also wanted to share some of the pressure for the family.

She is the youngest member of the family and the younger sister of Leonard Rowe, Leonard Rowe.

The names of the three siblings all contain the character "Luo", and the last character in their names was chosen from their mother's name.

This was strongly requested by their mother, Leonard Ensalinde. In her words, since the last name is Leonard, it is not excessive for the first name to be related to herself.

Leonard Charles had no choice but to give in to his wife, and since these names were nice, he just let her do what she wanted.

After all, she had been taken care of by her mother's family over the years, which was why she was not eaten alive by the nearby nobles.

Of the few great nobles who were demoted to low-ranking nobles back then, only the Leonard and Cecil families are left. The remaining families were either devoured alive by their former enemies or eaten up by nearby nobles and began a life of escape.

"Don't mess around. This matter can only be decided by him. No one is allowed to give opinions."

Only he, as a father, understood that being a lord requires great courage and decision-making ability.

If even this cannot be achieved, the territory will only end up in destruction.

Seeing his serious expression, no one mentioned the matter again.

"By the way, there seems to be no news about Ron recently. I wonder how the development in the Far North is going."

Seeing that the dining atmosphere was not right, Rod's wife, Leonard Daisy, quickly changed the subject.

And she was indeed a little worried about Ron's expansion of territory.

"My second brother must have let himself go after leaving home, which is why he never sends letters home."

Rowling, who knew Ron very well, felt that this must be the case, otherwise he would write home every week.

"Yes, Ron must have forgotten to reply."

Talking about this matter, Leonard Ensalinde, as a mother, still felt a little nervous.

After all, we had agreed to contact each other once a week or so, but it’s been almost half a month and there’s still no reply.

Expanding territory is inherently dangerous, so how can anyone feel at ease?

"A letter. Master Ron has sent a letter."

Just then, a woman in her forties walked into the restaurant in a hurry.

The reason why she was so excited was that her own children all followed the young master to explore the new world.

I've replied to their letter now, maybe I'll get some news about them.

But she was still nervous in her heart. After all, development requires fighting, and she was worried that something might happen to her son.

She is Filisha, the mother of Alman and Fiona...

"Bring it here, Felisa."

Hearing this, Leonard Ensalind put down his knife excitedly, and felt relieved.

"Good lady."

Felisa walked forward respectfully, handed over the letter, and then stood aside waiting.

She wanted to see if there was any news about her daughter.

"It's a letter from my second brother. Let's take a look at what he said."

Rowling is still looking forward to hearing from Ron.

"Several letters."

Originally, Leonard Ensalinde was going to read the contents of the letter out loud so that everyone could listen together.

But when I opened the envelope, everyone's name was written on it.

"Are there any for me? Are there any for me?"

Hearing that there were several letters, Rowling became a little anxious and hurriedly asked if anyone had sent her any letters.

If not, she would be sad for at least three whole days.

"Of course, Ron won't forget to send you a letter."

Leonard Ensalinde handed over the letter with Rowling's name on it.

"Hehe~"

When Rowling received the letter, her eyes smiled into crescent shapes, which formed a sharp contrast with her previous serious look.

Now that I have received Ron's letter, I can be happy for at least a few days.

Then everyone got a letter.

"Fiona's letter."

Finally, Leonard Ensalinde put a letter in Phyllisa's hand.

"It seems that Fiona has grown up and can write letters."

During this period, only Ron replied to the letter a few times, and mentioned Fiona and Alman briefly in the letter.

I didn't expect that Fiona would take the initiative to send the letter this time.

"It must be Master Ron's teaching that's good, otherwise Fiona wouldn't have sent the letter back."

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Phyllisa has always been aware of her daughter's personality. As for writing letters, it was probably Ron who taught her, otherwise it would be highly unlikely that she would write on her own initiative.

"Father, father, Ron said in the letter that he has opened up a territory in the swamp and killed Wilson Gray, the second son of the Wilson family, the archenemy, and occupied the Crichton Valley. The territory is now large enough to accommodate at least a hundred Rhine Counts."

When Rhodes saw the contents of the letter, he was so excited that his whole body trembled and he jumped up.

He is a very calm and introverted person, but when he heard such exciting news, he couldn't help but vent.

"Give me the letter."

Leonard Hughes did not open the letter immediately, but continued to drink. However, after hearing the news, he could no longer remain calm.

No one present knew better than him the dangers of this Far North expansion.

In his opinion, it was already difficult to defend the most remote territory, but he did not expect to encounter the Wilson family and be able to kill them.

This made him eager to know what exactly happened.

"Father, you should just open your own letter. Mine only mentioned the territory."

Ron's letters to each person were different. His eldest brother didn't know much about combat, so he just chatted about family matters and the development of the territory.

Leonard Hughes immediately opened his letter after hearing this. In the letter, Ron explained the whole process, starting from the choice of the swamp, telling his father about everything, and then telling him about the final victory over Wilson Gray.

However, he did not talk about the specific details and told his father that he would tell them over a drink next time he came to the Swamp Territory.

"This kid is still keeping us in suspense!"

These words made the old father itchy and he really wanted to know how Ron defeated his enemy.

The letter to the younger sister mainly encouraged her to practice swordplay, and of course also promised to give her a precious potion when she grew up.

Promise to teach her sword skills in the future.

"My second brother said he would give me the potion when he reaches adulthood, hehe~"

After reading the entire letter, Rowling's cheeks flushed and she was full of expectations for the future.

I look forward to the end of the Far North development war next year and a trip to my second brother’s territory.

After the development is completed, the nobles cannot go to war directly with each other, so it is relatively safe.

Only in this way can Ron bring his family over to visit.

Of course, when picking up the family, they still have to send the Knights back to intimidate the rats nearby.

Some troublemakers need to be eliminated by some means.

Although nobles were not allowed to fight openly, they could send assassins to kill each other in private.

It just so happens that Ron has trained a shadow assassin, and then he can kill all the troublemakers in the family, so as to have a deterrent effect.

"You are worthy of being my son. Our Leonard family will surely become strong again."

Leonard Ensalinde was filled with excitement after reading the contents of the letter.

This is also what Leonard Hughes wanted to say, but he did not express it.

Sometimes fathers are like this, everything is silent...

Chapter 132: The maid's operation at the celebration banquet! Being pressed to the ground and rubbed by Fei Liya!

The setting sun retreats into the sky and the sunset glows into the clouds.

The Swamp Territory is particularly lively today.

Because we killed Wilson Gray last night and successfully occupied the Valley Territory, a celebration banquet was held in the evening.

Tonight, the entire swamp is brightly lit and everyone's face is filled with joyful smiles.

Although the subjects had no achievements, Ron was very satisfied with their proactive performance in defending the territory.
