Come to another world and become a lord

Chapter 36 Lord

Karl blinked, then opened his mouth, and finally said in confusion:

"Well... congratulations to both of you. When will the wedding be held?"

Although he had some conflicts with Deakins when he was young, that was all in the past, and it was not his fault after all. Moreover, he and Lisa were childhood sweethearts in name. No matter from which perspective, he still had to attend their wedding. Carl thought so.

Dickens laughed and said:

"Lisa is right. You are still as cowardly as before."

"Um... I'm not sure what you mean."

"Never mind, you don't have to understand."

At this time, with the commotion at the entrance of the village, more and more people gathered. The village chief Huck also came over after hearing the news. When he saw Carl and Jim, he was surprised for a moment, then subconsciously dodged Carl's gaze, and finally put on a face that seemed very enthusiastic, opened his arms and said:

"Carl, Jim, you two are finally back! Tell me, what's going on in Rickburg?"

"The nomadic army retreated, thanks to..."

Jim said, but he was interrupted again by Dickens, who said to the village chief:

"Father, what's the point of asking them? They are two useless idiots. How would they know what happened?"

Huck pretended to be angry and scolded:

"Dickens, don't be rude. Carl and the others went out for our village anyway."

In return, Dickens laughed sarcastically:

"Come on, didn't we send them out in the first place just to let them die in Rickburg~"

As soon as these words were spoken, Jim was stunned. He first looked at the village chief Huck with an incredible look, and then focused his attention on Dickens:

"What did you say?"

The latter, however, was not in a hurry and continued lightly:

"You haven't thought this through, Jim. This is known to everyone. Who would be willing to go to Rickburg to deliver food? Only the two of you would go. No one would care if you died. You two were sent to die anyway."

"Dickens, don't talk nonsense!" Village chief Huck continued to yell.

Carl just scratched his head and watched their argument like an outsider. To be honest, he had realized the fact that they were going to die. Not only him, but even Jim, who was not thinking, could feel it more or less. But no one wanted to say it out loud. After all, they were all villagers and had known each other for so many years. They still wanted to have some good thoughts. As the saying goes, "see the truth but don't say it out loud", so that everyone can save some dignity and not be embarrassed when they meet in the future. But now Dickens has directly exposed the matter, no one can accept it. This kid is not only evil, but also stupid.

Sometimes Carl didn't hate evil, but he could never tolerate stupidity. He picked his ears and then said casually:

"Of course we know about this, but sometimes there is a difference between pointing it out and not pointing it out."

However, in response to his words, Dickens smiled disdainfully:

"Hmph, what's the use of pointing it out? You're just a serf, a lowly slave.

He paused, thought for a moment, and continued:

"Come to think of it, you didn't have to go in the first place. Who asked you to get between me and Lisa?"

"Huh?" This sentence made Carl confused. To be honest, he had never imagined this. After all, he didn't have much contact with Lisa after traveling through time.

Dickens didn't seem to notice his expression, but continued to speak to himself:

"So Lisa and I decided that in order to avoid seeing it, we had no choice but to let you die."

"Lisa, do you really think so?" Jim shouted angrily.

"Wait, I haven't been bothering you two in the past few years." Carl was a little confused. He looked at Lisa in confusion, "We haven't spoken for almost two years~"

The girl lowered her head with a little guilt, and after thinking for a while, she said:

"Karl, you shouldn't like me. Dickens doesn't like this..."

"Ah..." Karl opened his mouth wide. He didn't know whether this was an honor or bad luck. He had no idea at all, but some people were worried and felt that he was an obstacle. Was this considered charming? But he was quite innocent.

Dickens snorted lightly, then glanced at Carl as if he were looking at an ant, and continued:

"Anyway, Carl, I don't want you to stay in Potter Village and get in my way any longer. Let me get rid of my father and talk to the Lord to release you from your serf status. Then you get out of Potter Village, the farther the better. In this way, you have made a profit. At least you are free!"

While they were discussing, a woman's voice suddenly sounded from behind Carl:

"I said, what are you doing here?"

It was Arya's voice. Arya, wearing a fiery red helmet, was striding towards them accompanied by several guards.

"That... that is?" Everyone present was stunned for a moment. They certainly didn't know Alia, but it was not difficult to judge her identity just from the expensive armor and the guard with the emblem of Rickburg behind her. Even if she was not the lord himself, she was most likely an elite attendant. In any case, she was definitely not someone that they, a group of commoners, could easily ignore.

"Kneel down, kneel down, kneel down quickly~" Seeing Alia coming, the village chief Hake knelt down on the ground immediately and kept urging the people around him to kneel down.

On the other hand, Dickens no longer had the arrogance he had at the beginning. Instead, he trembled and pulled Lisa in his arms, and knelt on the ground with his father.

For a moment, everyone was in a panic. They were not even sure how to address Arya. Finally, led by the village chief Hake, they respectfully addressed Arya as Lady Knight.

When he saw Carl and Jim still standing, the village chief Huck became even more angry and scolded:

"Carl, Jim, what are you doing? Kneel down before the Knight!"

After hearing what Huck said, Alia didn't say anything. Instead, she looked at Carl with a smile on her face and said gloatingly:

"Your village chief wants you to kneel down for me~"

"So you want me to kneel?" Carl also said jokingly.

"I don't want to. If you kneel down for me with your status, there would only be one reason: that is, to propose to me." Alia smiled mischievously.

Identity? Proposal? Village chief Hake and his son Dickens knelt there, listening to Carl and Alia's bickering. Even though Carl didn't kneel, the female knight didn't show any displeasure, as if the two had a good relationship. All this made them feel confused and even vaguely uneasy.

Dickens saw Carl smiling and waving his hand, and then heard Alia continue to say:

"So, what happened just now?"

"Ah~ I guess I'm involved in an emotional dispute..." Carl said helplessly.

"Ah~ Why am I not surprised at all..." Alia deliberately looked at Carl with contempt.

"Is this the bad impression I give you?" Carl pretended to be dissatisfied.

And Alia continued with a gloating expression:

"Isn't it? But no matter what, as a lord, please set a good example in front of your people."

Lord? What are they talking about? Dickens felt even more uneasy, and even Lisa beside him looked confused.

"Have you told them?" Alia asked again.

"Uh, not yet." Carl replied.

"Ha~" Alia sighed lightly, then suddenly saluted Carl and said solemnly:

"Everyone listen up, this is your new lord, the newly appointed Baron of Rickburg—Karl Flandal!"

Lord, Baron? Lisa looked up at Karl in disbelief. Dickens beside her was also surprised. He didn't dare to believe it at first, but after confirming it, he couldn't help but feel scared.

Then they heard Arya's powerful voice calling out to them:

"Hail, my Lord!"
