"Fa... um, Ryan." Adela immediately spoke after sitting next to Vivian: "Currently, Cassano's side is quite stable. A new batch of soldiers have been trained, and..."
Seeing Adela eagerly reporting to him the status of the territory's construction, Ryan waved his hand casually and said, "There's no need to say this, I trust you, Adela."
Adela's face was flushed and her body was trembling slightly, because she didn't expect that she had such a high position in Ryan's heart, and even ignored Cassano after handing over the power to her, or thought it was Adela. He definitely can't do it. Of course, Adela doesn't know that Ryan has no intention of personally intervening in the trivial matters in the territory. He only needs to keep his magical deterrent power increasing steadily and maintain guidance on the general direction of the entire territory. Yes,
"You, do you just believe me so much?" Adela said softly,
"Idiot." Vivian patted Adela gently on the back and said in a scolding tone: "I told you we are good sisters, don't you still believe me?"
Adela was even more moved. She had already learned about Vivian's situation from her father Adams. Now Vivian regards herself as a good sister in front of Ryan. Obviously, she has not forgotten the original agreement between the two, and Ryan just smiled and didn't say anything, which meant that Ryan also approved it. What could make Adela more excited than this? When she was managing Cassano, she basically wanted to please Ryan. How to make Cassano's strength flourish, how to make Ryan happy, Adela will do it meticulously, and now everything she has done has been rewarded, and there is nothing better than this Something about
"Okay, Adela, I will try my best to leave the management of Cassano Territory to you in the future. After all, I am not good at managing a piece of land." Ryan looked at the somewhat disbelieving look on Adela's face. , said with a smile: "Of course, we still have to discuss some big things, such as the appointment and removal of personnel in important positions, Cassano's diplomacy and foreign strategies. As for those daily things, you don't have a discussion group anymore. Well, then let’s handle it according to the division of labor within the discussion group.”
Adela's heart moved. She heard two meanings from Ryan's words. One was that Ryan's opinion must be sought on important matters. After all, this territory now belongs to Ryan. If he leaves it to others to manage, it does not mean that he He handed over the power; and the other layer is about the diplomacy mentioned by Ryan, because ordinary territories do not have diplomatic power. Obviously Ryan does not intend to turn Cassano into a vassal of the imperial capital, even if Ryan and Faras In the marriage, Cassano is only an ally of the imperial capital and not a subsidiary.
With these two meanings, Adela suddenly felt much relieved. The previous one showed that Ryan did not intend to walk away after taking advantage of Cassano. He would still continue to govern this land as the overlord of Cassano. , and the latter meaning also reassured the original Cassano power management headed by Adams that Ryan would not sacrifice Cassano's interests to please the imperial capital.
In fact, Adela didn't know that Ryan had already discussed this with Faras. For the current imperial capital, their own territory and population were enough, and they didn't want Cassano far south to add a fraction. , and once the two are married, Cassano will be merged into the Imperial Capital forces, which will definitely discourage other forces that have a good impression of the Imperial Capital. The third and most important reason is that Cassano was unified because he surrendered to the At the feet of Ryan, instead of the Imperial Capital, if Cassano is forcibly turned into a province of the Imperial Capital, it will only lead to great chaos.
"Okay, it's a rare meeting, why do you keep saying this?" Vivian deliberately pretended to be unhappy, and Ryan and Adela also followed her wishes and stopped talking about government affairs and changed In order to play tarot cards with Vivian, because Vivian was seriously injured and bedridden, she slowly became obsessed with the game of tarot cards. However, the skills of the maids who served her were not very good, and they deliberately lost every time. Vivian was aware of it when they were together, so Vivian simply stopped letting them play with her. Now that she has Ryan and Adela, Vivian will have a good time.
"Ha, I won again." Vivian put the last two "Human Crossbowman" cards in her hand on the table, and looked at Ryan, who had at least ten more cards left in his hand with a sad face, and couldn't help laughing.
"Hey, Vivian, you are so awesome. Are you sure you have only studied for less than ten days?" Adela sighed and put down the remaining cards in her hand, counted out two gold coins and handed them to Vivian. In fact, when it comes to card skills, Adela has at least ten years of experience since childhood, and she is definitely far superior to Vivian. She didn't play the wrong card on purpose just now, but Vivian had two "Human Crossbowmen" in her hand. Don't even think about playing the cards, and the only one who wins is Adela.
After Vivian won, Adela only had one Naga and one Lich left in her hand. Although these cards were not small, they were not in pairs. According to the rules, Vivian's two cards were not in pairs. card, but although Adela lost, she didn't lose much. The most important thing is that Vivian will never notice that Adela is giving in to her, unlike those maids who are almost idiots. There is a pair of "Arch Mage" cards in it that can kill 70% of the time, but they don't dare to win against Vivian's pitiful two smallest "Human Farmers", for fear of offending Vivian after defeating her. Angry, but everyone knows that this kind of game must have losses and wins to be fun. Of course, the one who wins more is the happiest, such as Vivian, who is watching Ryan count gold coins now.
Vivian watched with a smile as Ryan counted out 17 gold coins, which meant that Ryan still had 17 cards on hand. He obviously lost miserably. She looked at the gold coins that were almost piled up in front of her, and then looked at them again. There were only the last two gold coins left in front of Ryan. Vivian said sarcastically to Ryan: "Do you want me to lend you some, or you can hurry up and pick up a few missions from the Adventurer's Guild so that you can continue."
Ryan rubbed his nose with a wry smile. He naturally heard what Vivian meant, but it didn't matter if he just wanted to be a clown to make Vivian happy. Everyone present was not an outsider anyway, so Ryan wasn't letting Vivian do it. Wei An, but he himself is not even fully familiar with the rules of this tarot card, let alone the various skills of playing cards. But today, his luck is extremely bad, and the cards in his hand will always be worse than Wei An's. Wei An was just a little bit behind, so each person's gambling capital of 500 gold coins was reduced to the last two in just 2 hours.
