The Defeated Dragon

Chapter 60: Goltai's psychological struggle

Views:

"Liszt's movements are getting more and more, and there is no quarter of an hour to rest all day long. Isaiah, I haven't slept well for a week in a row."

In the house of the small town administrative office, Gao Ertai vigorously fanned the thick paper to dissipate heat for himself: "I originally thought that coming to Huahua Town was a leisurely job, but I didn't expect that it would make me exhausted."

"Obviously, officials who don't want to make progress are not the officials that Liszt expected." Isaiah wrenched his fingers to calculate the tax for this quarter, and said without raising his head, "Galtai, you should let yourself work hard, An easy life wears down a knight's fighting spirit."

"It seems that like Blair, you have fallen in love with life in Flower Town. I remember you complained a lot when you first came here."

"I was really disappointed when I first came here. It was dilapidated, shabby, and there were not many people there." Isaiah's activities and calculations caused some numb fingers. I talked to Marcus, and he said that Liszt is a unique nobleman."

"It's really different." Gao Ertai spread his hands.

"So I think that Marcus' desire to become a nobleman falls on Liszt, and my hope of revitalizing the family may also be here."

"It seems that you are serious."

"I can't continue to do nothing. I have to cheer up for my stupid son."

"Okay, I have to cheer up. I'm going to see the construction progress of the houses in Shenghaotun. Now the whole town is short of people. I have to use my brain to organize a logging team."

Having said that, after leaving the administrative office, Gao Ertai did not go to Shenghaotun, but returned to his house in the town.

This is a small two-story building. It was originally the residence of the tax knights—the castle can only be lived in by the lord. Even if it is idle, ordinary people cannot live in it.

"My lord, you are back. Are you done with work today?" A girl in a linen-colored coarse skirt hurried over to help Gao Ertai take off his coat.

Gao Ertai touched the girl's butt dishonestly: "The work can't be finished, but life must go on."

The girl blushed: "Won't the lord blame you if you don't go to work?"

"I'm Liszt's teacher, the administrator of the town, and I have the right to give myself a half-day vacation... Freya, I miss you and I don't want to work." She kissed her on the cheek, and then pushed the girl towards the bedroom.

Freya hurriedly broke free and hurriedly said, "My lord, it's daytime now."

"What's the matter during the day, I've eaten too many oysters recently, and I don't have enough time at night." Gao Ertai selectively forgot that every night, he still can only hold on once, and each time does not exceed 30 seconds.

Freya was a little flustered, as if she was trying to change the topic: "You seem to be in a bad mood, is it because of the consultant?"

"Of course I'm in a bad mood. He is the lord, and he has the right to order me to work for him, even if he is busy from morning to night. But I have been in Flower Town for three months, and I still haven't got the position of consultant, damn it , who else can serve as a consultant here besides me?"

Gao Ertai slammed on the wall of the house, his tone full of indignation: "I regret coming to Huahua Town!"

Freya's expression changed: "My lord, are you leaving here?"

"Not yet, Freya, you are the one who made me linger here and never give up." Galtai put his arms around Freya again and kissed.

Freya pushed him away hard.

Gao Ertai suddenly turned gloomy: "Freya, what do you mean!"

Freya took a deep breath and let herself smile again: "I know you are not happy, these days you always have something on your mind, I guess you want to go back to Coral City, it is a big city, more prosperous than Huahua Town Countless times... I want to tell my lord that Freya will stay in Huahua Town and raise your child up, so please don't worry about it."

"What do you mean?" Gao Ertai's face changed again and again.

"I am pregnant."

With a soft sentence, all the expressions on Gao Ertai's face were immediately stunned. It took him a long time to wake up: "Are you pregnant?"

"Hmm." Freya touched her stomach, although it was still flat, she could feel a powerful little heart beating.

While speaking, she suddenly retched.

Gao Ertai no longer doubted that Freya was indeed pregnant, but he didn't know whether he should be surprised or surprised—he had a wife and a child in Coral City, and the child had grown up and married a wife, and even his grandson was born the year before last. Birth—he's just here to find a relationship to fill his loneliness.

Never thought that such a day would come.

"Oh my God, Freya, I, I mean, I'm in a mess right now, sorry, I don't know how to deal with this news." Gortai stammered.

Freya just smiled: "It's okay, my lord, I know that there is no better tomorrow for a serf like me. I am very grateful to my lord for giving me some happy memories. I will raise him independently and he will be healthy Thrive...I just hope, when you leave, can you give him a freeman status?"

"Free people?"

Gortai fell into hesitation and entanglement, Freya just looked at him with a smile.

After a while, he let out a deep breath and finally made a decision: "Sorry, Freya, I let you down..."

Freya's smile quickly dimmed.

But Gao Ertai's next words made her smile even brighter again.

"I hesitated just now, it shouldn't be, I promise you, I won't, at least not now, leave Flower Town, I want to see him born, tell his father's name, Galtai Mast... I think I know What should I do, I have never been able to integrate into Huahua Town."

Galtai embraced Freya in his arms, with warmth rather than lust: "Because I am already a nobleman, I am used to enjoying rather than struggling, and I complained that Liszt did not give me a consultant position, but did not work hard. But now, I must work hard to earn a noble honor again, for our children!"

"Is this true, my lord?" Freya's eyes widened.

"Of course, I promise, in the name of my knight!"

A moment of tenderness.

Gao Ertai broke away from Gentle Township, put on his Flac Abby again, and strode out of the house—this time he really went to Shenghaotun to inspect the construction of the house.

In the evening, another small banquet was held in the castle.

Before the meeting, Marcus, Blair, and Isaiah chatted casually, while in the study, Galtai was reporting the work progress to Liszt.

"The main road from Thorn Ridge to the town has been half completed. The sea sand is sufficient, but the stones are not enough. I have already started to extract strong serfs to form a logging team. Go build roads. If there are enough stones in Thorn Ridge, the sandy roads between the villages can also be paved with gravel."

"It's a good plan, let's execute it like this, Mr. Gao Ertai." Liszt nodded with satisfaction.

Not only this plan, but also Galtai's attitude. At every banquet before, Galtai just ate and drank with his mouth, said some witty words, and never took the initiative to talk about work.

I was a little surprised today, and I took the initiative to report to work.

As a lord, of course he likes subordinates who are active in work, not subordinates who eat and drink.
