The two said nothing, only gazing at the distant horizon beyond the town.
There.
The sunset, like molten gold, dyed the entire skyâs clouds into orange-red silk.
Under the watchful eyes of Lynn and Kari, it slowly descended.
The strands of twilight draped the earth in a warm veil.
Until the entire orange-red sun completely sank below the horizon, the twilight dispersed, and the sky turned dim.
Kariâs face showed a trace of rapt attention.
In her words, there seemed to be admiration and jealousy, "It would be wonderful if I could see such a sunset every day!"
Lynn calmly said, "Thatâs easy."
"From now on, just stay in my domain."
Upon hearing this, Kariâs pretty eyebrows instantly raised.
She quickly turned her head to look at Lynn, surprised, "Master Lynn, are you serious?"
Lynn nodded, "Of course, itâs just adding one more person."
"Besides, my castle happens to need some maids!"
Kariâs face, which was originally full of surprise, immediately turned disdainful.
"Master Lynn, I am Kari Brown! A descendant of the Brown Clan!"
"How could I possibly become someone elseâs maid?"
After she finished.
Kari mumbled, "Even if I stay, I want to be the mistress!"
Listening to Kariâs unclear mumbling, Lynn asked, "What did you say?"
Kariâs heart tightened slightly, and she immediately changed her words.
"I meant... itâs already dark, isnât Master Lynn going to let me stay and rest in the domain?"
Lynnâs eyes squinted slightly, scanning up and down at Kari, continuing to ask.
"Miss Kari, what I heard doesnât seem to be this."
"It seemed like something about being the mistress?"
Naturally, Kari felt Lynnâs unabashed gaze sweeping over her from front to back.
The tension in her heart became more apparent, she hurriedly said
"Master Lynn, you heard wrong."
Lynn nodded, "As long as the merchants come to my domain, they can stay as long as they donât mind and rest."
"Not to mention, itâs my partner, Miss Kari."
Lynnâs body moved, rising from the bench.
"Leave the loading and unloading of goods to George."
"To show hospitality, I have arranged for the chef to specially prepare dinner in the castle."
Lynn extended his arm, making a gesture of invitation.
"Letâs go, Miss Kari."
Kari also rose from the bench, smiling with satisfaction.
"Master Lynn, then Kari will accept the invitation graciously."
Lynn nodded.
The two walked side by side across the Lordâs Square, heading towards the distant castle.
Walking on the road lined with red brick houses.
Watching as townsmen stopped and paid respects to Lynn, bowing as they greeted him.
Kariâs curiosity grew stronger.
She hadnât come to Master Lynnâs domain many times.
Adding them up, it shouldnât be more than the number on her fingers.
Moreover, each visit was always rushed.
Transporting goods to the domain, waiting for unloading and loading, then hastily leaving with the carriage team.
Until now.
She slowed her pace, carefully observing Master Lynnâs domain, only to find it very different from others.
Whether it was the townsmen returning from work in the square.
Or the townsmen walking along the roadsides in the town.
Their gazes at Lynn were full of admiration and adoration for the Lord.
If in other domains...
The townsmen would avoid the Lord or the Lordâs heirs upon sight.
They wouldnât want to inadvertently offend the Lord through accidental gaze.
Or even have.
Their newly grown daughters directly taken by the Lord back to the castle, for occupation...
Master Lynnâs domain townsmen can do this.
It must be a sincere, heartfelt action by the townsmen.
It certainly stemmed from Master Lynnâs reasonable governance deeply rooted in this domain.
Just this point.
Kari gave Lynn, walking beside her, a peculiar look.
Passing through the red brick houses, returning to the castle.
Upon reaching the reception hall on the second floor of the castle, Kuisi immediately greeted them.
Having received instruction from the guard, Kuisi.
Glanced at Kari, who was wearing only leather armor...
The leather armor tightly fit her body, revealing her long straight legs and arms.
Coupled with her slender waist, and the fullness above the waist that seemed ready to burst forth...
Kuisiâs eyes couldnât help but show a slight hint of envy.
However.
This envy flickered away in an instant.
Kuisi smiled at Lynn and Kari, explaining.
"Master, dinner is ready, and you can dine with Miss Kari."
Lynn acknowledged, taking steps, crossing the reception hall, arriving at the dining table.
As Janet pulled back the main seat for him, and the maid pulled back the wooden chair for Kari.
Lynn sat directly.
Kari hesitated for two seconds, then sat in the wooden chair to Lynnâs right.
Looking at the center of the table, at the massive river fish, her eyebrows slightly raised, and she couldnât help but swallow.
From Kakasong City to Lynnâs domain, although not very far.
But due to road restrictions, the carriage speed wasnât fast.
At least a few days were needed.
Despite having pauses and rests along the way, it could still be described as braving the elements.
Now seeing an array of enticingly delicious food on the table, a slight âgurgleâ arose in her stomach.
