Chapter 267 (2/2)

Luke initially planned to take all the mercenaries to Marquis Rakan, and for that, they thought of calling a ship from Kirillov.

But his plans changed when Reina gave them the Albertville Estate.

Rather than taking them to the Rakan Estate and exposing them to the eyes of the emperor, they thought that it would be better to strengthen their power in the Albertville Estate, which was close to the Baroque Empire and avoid the emperor’s eyes.

They decided to not travel by sea and travel by land instead.

At the end of the war, the used wagons and carriages were all gathered and sold in the market, so they were bought at a relatively low cost.

“Then, I am glad. The problem is… who am I supposed to leave the Albertville Estate to?”

Luke shook his head as he couldn’t decide on a person to hand it over to.

Hans had been ruling Rakan as a vice lord while Luke was away for his military service.

Although he was a good fit for the job, he needed to always be there in the Rakan Estate whenever Luke decided to leave.

While Luke was concerned, Philip suggested.

“What about Dixon from the finance office? He is a little tilted towards the aspects of money, but his loyalty for the family runs deep.”

Luke nodded thinking that it was reasonable.

“Maybe he is the right person?”

“Yes, he had a lot of experience in the administrative aspects, so he might be able to lead Albertville.”

“Then, I need to call him.”

Once it was decided who would lead Albertville, Philip asked something else, “Then what about the officers and the knights? Will you call them from our estates?”

Since a part of the land given to him was a part of the rebellion, the forces from the rebellion and its officers wouldn’t be stable.

There were chances that they might have joined the rebels or have been killed, or they could just plainly not be reliable.

“If one of the Rakan Knights or Silver Knights makes an appearance, the emperor is bound to find it suspicious. So, I am going to bring out new knights from Red Wolf, who are quite smart and reliable.”

AKA the Red Wolf knights.

He was willing to make them equal to the Rakan Knights and the Silver Knights.

And to do that, Luke intended to teach the Silver Sword to the mercenaries who would become knights.

Also, he decided to distribute Gigants to them equally.

Luke devised a plan for the Albertville Estate and wrote a letter to the Rakan Estate during lunch break.

Long-range magic communication could be intercepted, so Luke didn’t want to use it.

He thought that it was safer to send and receive an encrypted letter through a trusted person, who could deliver the letter faster than a human being.

-Have Sebastian deliver it to Hans Butler.

Luke telepathically asked Belfair, who was seated on his shoulder and bothering him.

-Me being a Vampire, should I even be doing such kinds of things? Just ask someone else…

-I guess you are missing the touch of a woman’s hand.

At that very moment, Belfair remembered what had happened a few days ago.

Women in their late teens and early twenties rubbed Belfair’s entire body.

His wings, torso and every nook and cranny of his body was indiscriminately devastated, and his prestige of being a proud vampire had fallen to the ground.

Belfair vowed that no matter what happened, he would never let himself be humiliated by women ever again.

-Come to think of it, there are a lot of women and kids following us, right?

-Hiick! No! I will deliver it right away!

Terrified, Belfair took the letter into his mouth and quickly disappeared into the sky.

‘I caught a good weakness of his.’

Looking at the back of Belfair who was flying away, Luke smiled and began to move toward the Albertville Estate.
