Black Iron Crown

Chapter 420: Representation of royal interests

Lena fell on the bed in a daze, smelling the scent of Ruoruuowu, a strange feeling rushed into his heart.

He reluctantly got up and leaned to Frant's side, his **** was already burning under the stimulation of alcohol.

Smelling the smell of alcohol on Lena's body, Frank frowned and slightly resisted: "Don't be like this, you're drunk, take a good rest!"

"No! I'm not drunk, Frank, my wife..."

Lena squeezed up in a daze.

At noon the next day, Rainer felt a splitting headache, and the feeling of a hangover was simply sour.

"Green tree! Green tree!"

Reluctantly getting out of bed, he began to call his little maid.

When he was drunk, he was served by two little maids, and he had already formed a habit.

However, it was not the two maids who opened the door this time, but Frank in a hazy nightgown.

Holding a pottery basin and a towel on her shoulders, she walked in cautiously.

"Why are you?" Rainer frowned.

Frank shook his head without speaking, dampened the towel and wrung it out, sat on the bed and began to wipe Lena's cheeks.

"Tsk..." Rainer drew back, frowning and said: "This is not what you should do, you are my grandfather, how can you do such a thing!"

Frank shook his head, pursing his lips and hesitated.

"What's the matter?" Rainer asked.

"..."

"Mekasha...who is it?" Frant frowned, and stared at Renner with a pair of eyes, wanting to get an answer from him.

"Who is she...does it matter?" Rainer's face gradually became serious.

"What are you asking this for suddenly?"

"You...you called her name last night!" Frank lowered his head and his eyes were red.

Thinking of the madness last night, Lena frowned: "Did I call her name? Shouldn't it!"

"This has nothing to do with you, you just need to remember that you are my wife!" Lena said blankly, taking the towel over and wiping his face twice.

"But! But I am your wife! And you called someone else's name at that time!"

"Enough!" Reiner said impatiently: "I told you not to inquire about my previous affairs, this is clear to you before we get married, right? Did you forget?"

"No..." Frant's voice was a little choked, and then took a deep breath, his tone became much colder: "I won't ask anymore..."

Being so disturbed by Frank early in the morning, Rainer was also in a very bad mood. After putting on a suit of himself, he left the room and went to the study.

Ezexi waited in the study room early, and today he will report to Reiner about the exact development of the business in the north.

"My lord Duke!" Ezexi watched Leiner who opened the door and hurriedly got up and saluted.

Rainer nodded, Ezehi gave Rainer a copy of the documents in his hand, and then looked at the file in his hand and began to report.

"Duke Lord, during your absence in the seven months, the growth of business has reached 228% of the level before you left. This month’s business tax has increased from forty gold coins seven months ago to the present. Ninety-eight of them!"

"Among them, the output of our handicraft products has increased by 275%, and our residents will engage in manual production in their leisure time."

"The number of merchants entering the northern border has also grown from 175 people seven months ago to 489 people now. Among them, there are 155 merchants from the Kingdom of Bazaran."

Lehner nodded when he heard the words. He was very satisfied with the commercial growth in the north. Such a rapid growth rate could bring him considerable income.

In terms of the current size of Reiner's army, it is indeed possible to barely balance expenditures, but other expenses pale in comparison.

However, Reiner also has the business of sugar and steel armor, these two are the most profitable big business.

"Continue to maintain the current situation, you did a good job, and eventually you will get a title that matches your merits!" Leiner said while looking at Ezehi.

For the people of this era, the title represents everything. Even as a noble noble, it is better than being a commoner. Even if a person is rich and an enemy, his highest expectation is to get a title.

Hearing that Reiner wanted to give him a knighthood, Azerxi's eyes burst into tears. Will I also get a knighthood after having been in the market for many years?

"Please rest assured, my honorable Duke, I will work hard to help you develop your territory business, and I will be your money bag in the future! No matter what, my loyalty to you will never change, I...I..."

Ezehi spoke incoherently, his face flushed with excitement.

After listening to Ezehi's report, Reiner entered the banquet hall again. The rich dishes were still on the table, and the vassals were full of mouthfuls and loudly screaming, looking very happy.

After Rainer entered the hall, the voice suddenly fell silent.

"Don't be frustrated with my vassals! Carnival!" Rainer raised a glass of wine casually and shouted towards the vassals in the court.

"Long live the Duke!" The vassals also cheered for Rainer.

The happy days passed quickly, and the vassals returned to the territory again with their own troops. They will take advantage of this time to recruit troops and horses. This is what the Lord Duke requested.

And Rainer is also preparing for the second banquet, and this banquet will naturally not be to entertain his vassals again.

He plans to invite all the royal lords of the empire to the north to participate, and hold a grand competition.

After the death of Grand Duke Mabra, Reiner became the highest ranking among all the royal families.

In addition, in the discussion hall of the Teska Palace, he said to the Queen unceremoniously in front of everyone, just to let all the royals see that he can represent the interests of the royal lords~lightnovelpub.net~ he I intend to take advantage of this time to invite all the royal lords to participate in the banquet and competition, to completely finalize this fact.

At this time, the city of Mekalong is intensively preparing, and hunting teams have entered the frigid forest to hunt. Their prey is a variety of delicious exotic animals as dishes at the banquet.

In addition, a huge competition ground is also being rebuilt, and this competition ground has already had a prototype.

Reiner wanted to hold a competition a long time ago, but at that time the old emperor died, Reiner rushed to the imperial capital starry night, so the game was put on hold.

Now, finally began to rebuild.

The news that Rainer was canonized as the Grand Duke of the Northern Kingdom circulated among the residents. For a time, Rainer's prestige reached an unparalleled level, and everyone was proud of living under Rainer's rule.

The system building small clinic built by Leiner at that time also produced the first batch of junior doctors. Frant was completely diagnosed as pregnant. This gave the vassals in the north and Leiner a shot in the heart.
