Chapter 17 (2/2)
At least here Duas senior, and this kind of noble life was rather invigorating As he was leaving, a servant iht over a docile horse, its saddle and bridle both goods of the most exquisite quality He had heard that this horse had been personally chosen by Marde in order to curry favor with Duwei This forood eye for horses
In the ht the six attendants for two laps in the forest, finally he chose a spot
At the edge of the forest some distance from the castle was a brook, a tributary of a tributary of the Eentle and, on inspecting the surroundings, without any traces of large ani house built here
This would be his first ht now and still didn’t have the talent for learning ic, Duasn’t a bit anxious
There would always be a way
After taking note of the location, Duwai again brought the followers to look in all directions
This young master’s actions certainly seemed eccentric
In the sa forest, he went to talk to some castle servants And the first people he intervieere actually the groundskeeper and gardener!
Afterwards the young e flowers and plants for the groundskeeper and gardener to prepare This list quickly fell into the hands of the old butler Hill, who i
It was only in the evening when Duwei finally headed down to the dungeon to meet his captive
After two straight days of torician had suffered a lot Should he take a look at whether he wanted to surrender?
Duwei very confidently brought his people back to the castle, but the first to find him was nevertheless the old butler Hill
“Youngthose several lists you issued today with things you wanted procured, I have already dispatched people to see to them”
“So quickly?” Duas especially pleased
“Of course, this is Rawling family territory, your wishes are our commands After I received the lists I immediately dispatched people on fast horses to procure the delivered as we speak But there’s a minor issue……”
“What?”
“I’han eyelid
“……” Duwei hadn’t expected that: “Money?”
“It’s like this” The old butler’s expression was calo with a calm voice, but Duwei couldn’t help be annoyed by that expression It was because he felt the old butler’s expression clearly concealedmaster, since you haven’t yet reached your majority the clan head issued a provision, besides the expenses for your everyday food and clothing, each old coins froold coins each month, this is the specified amount you may use But if you exceed this, it must be deducted from next month’s sum”
“……” Duas speechless
Money? Duwei hadn’t expected to, as the eldest son of the illustrious earl, actually have problems with money?
The old butler swiftly fished out a monocle from his breast pocket and placed it over his left eye, then taking out the lists of items Duwei had handed out today: “Four pieces of top quality crystal, twenty glassfurnace, half a cart of stone coal With the gardener you ordered one batch of golden scale flower seeds, one batch of arrow orchid seeds, and further one bottle of Jarohei rugosa pollen…… Besides a set of first rate florist instruer striped broad leaf trees, one hundred clovers, further……”
The old butler swiftly recounted the lists, then slowly said: “Purchasing these things will altogether cost you approxiold coins In other words, you have not only spent this month’s quota, you have even withdrawn money from next month’s limit…… Moreover, I have also heard that you plan to construct a log house by a creek in the forest I have done the calculations and if you plan to construct a simple two floor house, I’old coins If you wish for the rooms of the house to be decorated and furnished…… it will be another two hundred gold coins With these figures, I’m afraid you have already used your money for the next four months”
Duas speechless
He had realized he ht have miscalculated!
Money!
The illustrious earl’s eldest son was unexpectedly penniless!
But those plants were all necessary Those were the most basic raw materials for Duwei’s alchemical studies
Duwei looked at the old butler, lowering his face: “Yes? You’re saying that I, father’s oldest son, the supervisor of the clan territories, can only use a trifling three hundred gold coins every month? I didn’t mishear you?”
The old butler’s manners were still very respectful: “Yes, this was all stipulated in a letter in the clan head’s own handwriting Even though it’s true that the clan estates each old coins, you must know…… that those are public funds You still haven’t reached your e, still haven’t obtained your own territory, therefore……”
“Therefore I only have an allowance of three hundred gold coins everya hand behind hio shopping, right?”
“I’m very sorry, these are the earl’s commands You can at most only withdraw three months of funds”
As the old butler saw that this little master was unhappy, he immediately took his leave
After the old butler left, Duwei looked at Marde at his side who prudently said: “Young old coins you gavethe imperial capital”
Duwei sighed: “Ai, I thought it was strange that mother would stealthily slip me money…… But now I understand…… Hehe, it seems that his lordshi+p my father is afraid this retard will mess up the clan territories, afraid I will ruin the ancestral estates, so he only no me use the funds”
“This…… We can cut down on soold coins every month is already a lot……” When Marde had said this he very conscientiously closed his
“…… Fine, since it’s like this, we’ll just have to figure out a way to ot over his brief dissatisfaction…… Anyasn’t there a lot of valuables behind that trick door in Saie? If it came down to it, he could just use the money there
Only…… It seeht not be as free as he had iined
“Let’s go, we’ll have a look at the dungeon” Duaved his hand, calain today I’m already in a bad mood!”
