Volume 9 Chapter 9: How About A Bakery Here As Well?
The days heading to the Stillword family were quite straightforward. They would take breaks along the way. Inside the carriage,
"Hah! I win!" Keith then placed his cards down. But as he did so,
"Not so fast, take this!" Carolyn grinned as she showed her hand.
"..."
"I can't beat that," "Me, either." Jack and Krystal couldn't do so. But there was one person who didn't show their hands. It was none other than Sarah.
"Guess I win." Sarah grinned as she placed her cards down.
"..." Keith and Carolyn's expression dropped when they saw that. Are you kidding me?
"I will be taking this," Sarah grinned as she happily took the chocolates from the table. The chips they used were chocolates. It went from dark-milk-white from low to high. Sarah took everything home.
Jack grabbed his head!
"No! My chocolates! Sister, can't you share?" All his chocolates were riding on this. Yet, it went to his sister.
"Nope! I'm going to keep all of this," Sarah grinned. Carolyn and Krystal could look at the girl in envy; that pile of chocolate would make anyone jealous. Keith smiled; he didn't mind. But as they were talking with one another,
"Young Master, we can see the Stillword village." The group was arriving at the village quite late at noon.
"Understood." Keith nodded, "We're close to your home."
"Mmhmm," Jack and Sarah's expressions changed when they heard this. It had been quite some time since they had returned. Not only that, the damage Count Mills caused was still in their mind. The Count had tried to use their powers to force their family to marry their oldest daughter away.
That was when Keith stepped in, and the Count's family imploded.
The last thing Keith remembered was that the village was pretty lifeless because of the Count's actions.
Count Mills had cut off their trade routes. But that was a few months ago. As they entered the village,
"Everything looks so much better!" Sarah exclaimed as she saw people walking around. It was more than before. The villagers weren't down and in the dumps but had bright looks.
"As expected. Uncle Julius really worked his magic." Because the Count had amassed so many coins, Julius decided to split all of that among the people they had harmed.
"There's no need to cry, Sarah." "Yeah," Sarah was being comforted by the two girls while Jack stared out.
"You're not going to cry about this?"
"No," Jack said, "As long as everyone is fine, then I'm glad."
"..." Your hand is saying something different. Jack's fist was clenched tight as it trembled. It was evident that he was excited about this.
That was when they arrived in front of the mansion. Sarah quickly dashed out the door, "Mother! Father." Ryan, Rebecca, and their two siblings were waiting there.
"Dear," Rebecca held her daughter tightly.
"Greetings, Baron Stillword," Keith bowed his head, and so did Krystal and Carolyn.
"Welcome to our home?" Ryan bowed.
"Mmhmm," The group was then brought to their guest rooms. Afterward, they were brought over to the dining room. Ryan smiled, "Let's have our meal."
"Mmhmm."
"Keith, I want to thank you for what you did for my daughter and son. Our family would have been ruined if it weren't for you." Ryan needed to say it to this boy.
"It was nothing. Jack and Sarah are my friends. I did what I should." The only reason why he was so angry was because of how Todd messed with him.
"But still, to put your life on the line," Ryan and Rebecca couldn't believe he would do something like that. The child had used such a duel against a count.
"It's fine. Enough with the thank you. Let's enjoy our meal."
"Mmhmm," Ryan nodded. However, that only caused Jack to frown, "Can you even call this a meal?"
"Eh?"
"The food that we eat on the island is so much more delicious," Jack muttered. Ryan's eyes narrowed; however, Sarah added,
"It actually is."
"Really? Sister?"
"…" Carolyn and Krystal didn't say anything as it would be rude. But they agreed. This was actually not that good.
"It's actually quite pleasant to eat," Keith added, "But speaking of food, Uncle Ryan, have you thought about incorporating new stores into the village?"
"Eh?" Now, everyone's expression changed.
"I was also thinking about adding a bakery and merchant group here."
"Ah, are you sure?" Ryan had heard about the bakeries and merchant shops that had been set up in the north.
Each one was doing excellent and well regarded.
"Mmhmm, I've been thinking of expanding into the lower portion of the northern regions as well."
"Do it, Father!" "Yeah!" Jack and Sarah's eyes brightened as they pumped their fist.
"Umm, our territory isn't like that."
"So? I just want to work with you," Keith grinned.
"Then sure. I will have a land ready for you."
"That's great. I'll tell my people about this as well."
"Yippe!" "We get bread!" Jack and Sarah sighed in relief as they couldn't believe it. They wouldn't have to starve like fools.
