Chapter 48 Daniel’s Request

 Alison was invited into the castle by Daniel before the heavy rain came down.

"This is our castle. The wood has been smoked to prevent insects and moisture." Daniel introduced enthusiastically, and then shouted into the house, "Lilith! Lilith! Oh, damn Lilith, where have you been? Ai

Lady Lison is here!"

Daniel said, showing an apologetic smile to Alison, and then went upstairs to find Lilith.

Alison watched him go upstairs and looked at the castle alone. It was said to be a castle, but in fact it was a two-story wooden villa. It could usually resist a wild beast, but if it was an enemy, they could set fire to it, or even use ropes to tie the corners of the house.

It collapsed.

The villa has a total of two floors. The first floor is the hall, surrounded by some kitchens, servants' rooms and other functional rooms. The second floor is a circle of bedrooms. It is not very big as there are about six or seven rooms. Daniel quickly walked around in a circle and ran away.

He went downstairs and said apologetically to Alison, "Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs. Alison, the maid has something to do at home. I'll make you a cup of tea right now."

"Don't bother me. Where is the house? Just ask Naya to clean it up later." Alison said casually.

When Daniel saw this, he agreed and immediately led Alison upstairs and found a large bedroom for Alison.

"This is the largest house in the castle. I hope you are satisfied with it." Daniel bowed his waist and smiled, "I had a premonition that a big shot would come to Robert, so I never stayed here, but I stayed here until now.

today."

Alison looked at the empty and deserted big house with only one bed, and couldn't help but nodded. There were cobwebs on the shed. Are you sure you didn't live in it because the house was too big and difficult to clean?

"As long as you're satisfied." Daniel smiled and looked at Alison. The latter saw his smiling face as if he had something to say, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise, "Tell me, what do you want?"

"I think Alison, your swordsmanship is pretty good, at least there is no one better than you in the knight realm." Daniel complimented.

"So you want to spar with me?" Alison looked at Daniel and raised her eyebrows, "Sorry, I won't practice sword practice anymore."

"Well, how could it be? Even if you don't practice swordsmanship, I'm no match for you." Daniel's face suddenly turned bitter when he heard this, and then he sighed, "That's actually the case. What do you think about centralization of power?"

"No opinion, but it should be better than these enfeoffment systems. At least you can't just cut off Naya's man." Alison looked at Daniel with a smile.

The latter lowered his head directly after hearing this, hiding the astonishment on his face. In terms of cruelty, I seem to be worse than you, right?

"Ahem, you also know that I am working for the Grand Duke. When the situation is necessary, we will respond here, and the impact will definitely be more useful than the actual help. But if we only rely on the few people at the moment, when something really happens,

At that time, I couldn’t even make a splash, I’m afraid I don’t need anyone else but Knight Simon to suppress it for me.”

Daniel raised his head and looked at Alison sincerely, "So I want to gather some soldiers before Knight Simon comes over, otherwise I won't have a chance when he comes."

"Won't he come here, see how strong you are, and take your soldiers by force?" Alison looked at Daniel with suspicion, "Can he accept your people just by finding an excuse?"

Daniel was slightly startled when he heard this, and looked at Alison with shock. He was truly a chaotic and evil existence. How could she have such thoughts?

"Am I wrong?" Alison looked at Daniel and asked.

"Of course, no, I mean Knight Simon wouldn't do that." Daniel shook his head slightly when he heard this, "Although I am Knight Simon's retinue, my soldiers are also my soldiers. He can give orders to me, but he has no right to give orders.

My soldiers, even if I die, these people are not his. If he wants to take them away, he has to suppress them by force or negotiate."

Alison suddenly realized that this was similar to "the vassals of my vassals are not my vassals".

"So, you want me to help you fight and charge forward with a big sword?" Alison narrowed her eyes.

"If you like, you can also get a mace." Daniel suggested hesitantly, "That one is strong."

But seeing that Alison's face suddenly turned bad, he immediately added, "You have the first right to choose the trophies."

After hearing this, Alison gave up asking why he wanted a woman to charge. She took a deep breath, looked at the empty room and asked, "Why did you call me? I feel that your two guards can do this. They

But he is a professional fighter."

"You don't know something. Although they were nominally sent to protect me, if I rely on them even for the expedition, they may not be obedient when they contribute more." Daniel looked at Alison and said, "

You also saw that Robin sprayed tea in my face today."

"But you still need them to take over those territories." Alison glanced back at him.

"That's different. Receiving and charging are two different things. You can do it by sending serfs." Daniel shook his head slightly, then solemnly bowed to the ground towards Alison, "So please help me, Sir Alison, I hope to control

It is your destiny not to be abandoned at any time and become an outcast."

Alison looked at him silently after hearing this. She understood very well how Daniel, a young man, felt. If being inserted here didn't work, then the person responsible for protecting him might not be able to get rid of him later.

After all, planting spies will give people the impression that it is not for centralizing power but for seizing power. Even the nobles in the territory can take the opportunity to say that bad things are all done by spies.

"Daniel, have you ever thought about why Simon didn't take me to Kevin's Territory when I was such a helper, but just ordered me to do things like assassination?"

Alison walked to the window sill of the wooden house and looked at the drizzle falling outside, "That's because the witch's affairs are kept secret."

"No, you are the head maid and a female knight. No one dares to talk nonsense!" Seeing Alison move away, Daniel quickly crawled over and hugged her legs and said, "Whoever dares to say that, I will kill him

!”

Feeling the discomfort in her legs, Alison pulled Daniel up by his hair and stared into his eyes coldly, "It's useless. Last time, a professional ran away and a baron investigator came. This time

If we run away again, the earl may have to invade the country with his army, and by that time, neither you nor I will be able to recover."

After Alison finished speaking, she slapped Daniel aside, then pointed at Daniel, whose face suddenly swollen, and said harshly, "Don't touch my legs next time!"

Daniel, who was slapped to the ground, covered his face in pain and looked at Alison with a stunned look on his face, as if he was looking for his brother-in-law to do something with a gift, only to be thrown out the door along with the gift and everyone else.

A look of grievance began to appear on Daniel's face, and then he burst into tears.

"You can be considered a talent." Alison looked at Daniel unmoved, hugging his shoulders like a woman who has always given up. She looked at Daniel indifferently for a moment, and then sighed.

"I can poison the food of the knights and retinues you want to conquer. Then they will be seriously ill and have no fighting power. The rest will be serfs and have no castle. Can you attack them?"

"Yes!" Daniel's eyes lit up, and then he turned aside, "But Robert doesn't have an apple tree."

"You don't have to worry about it." Alison looked at Brad outside the window, "Oh, they're back."

At this time, in a cave somewhere in Robert, Lilith, who had rushed over with tears in her eyes, was drinking the wine handed to her by the woman in black robe. After moistening her throat, she put down the wine glass and then looked at the other women in the cave.
