The next day, it wasn’t until noon that the people in the room woke up one after another.

The battle last night had been too intense, and the entire bed had already been soaked in water.

Sabina, who had woken up first, saw this scene and hurriedly left the room to prepare the bed sheets and quilts.

After Delia woke up, she saw the traces of the battle on the bed and hurriedly left the room in embarrassment.

Rollin, who was the last to wake up, quickly heard Gavin’s shout, “Young Master, is now a good time?”

Upon hearing the shout, Rollin immediately sat up on the bed, picked up the clean clothes on the side, and changed into them.

Then, he opened the door and walked out. When he went out, he did not forget to tightly shut the door, so as to prevent the atmosphere between the two of them from becoming very awkward.

However, Gavin did not think much of it.

This was because a long time ago, this kind of thing often happened. To him, these things were nothing.

“Young Master, according to your plan, Seven Star City was built very quickly.”

“Moreover, we also obtained a powerful army!”

“Army?”

“Yes, the army that originally belonged to Ipswich was scattered during the war, so they came to our territory to ask for help!”

“But they discovered that Count Ipswich had already been defeated, so they joined us very straightforwardly!”

“That’s good too. In the current situation, the more troops, the better!”

“I just happen to be going to talk to Uncle today about the grain storage problem.”

“Yes, Young Master. I’ll go prepare the carriage now!”

Without even eating breakfast, Rollin arrived at Five Star City Lord’s Mansion.

Macmillan, who had received the news in advance, had already sorted out all the information about the grain storage.

After all, it was wartime now, so the grain storage was the most important thing. Long before Ipswich was defeated, he had already controlled all the grain in the city.

And he had also bought all the grain that had fallen into the hands of all the people back.

Through the use of food stamps, he had allowed the people in the territory to receive enough food for a week every day to reduce the waste of food.

After entering the room, before Rollin could speak, Uncle Macmillan had brought him to the side of the food record form.

“This form records the status of all the food reserves in the territory!”

Rollin did not stand on ceremony and directly flipped through it. He discovered that there was actually so much food in the city.

The current amount of grain was enough for the entire Empire to eat for ten years. Moreover, this was the result of not counting the grain from the previous year.

After Rollin finished reading all the forms, he said to Macmillan, “Uncle, currently, a few countries in the east have already completely gone to war.”

“Please help me donate enough grain to Mehiounes so that they can settle down all the refugees.”

“Also, send a portion of food reserves to the Imperial City that is enough for them to consume for an entire year!”

After hearing Rollin’s words, Macmillan earnestly recorded down all the things that these agents had done.

Then, he asked, “There is no problem in transporting food, but we have already entered a war, so it is very chaotic everywhere.”

“We need to defend against the enemy’s attack now. We don’t have so many guards to transport the grain!”

Hearing this, Rollin laughed. “That’s easy!”

“Just send a letter to Mehiounes and ask them to send someone to pick it up. Just escorting the Empire’s grain will do!”

“So it can be like this! I was really confused!”

Actually, it wasn’t that Macmillan was confused. It was just that he had too many things to deal with during this period of time, so he was extremely tired.

Seeing his uncle who had two dark circles under his eyes, Rollins decided to send Sheryl to assist him.

After all, Sheryl was a princess. She had heard about it from the moment she was born, so these things were very simple for her.

Actually, this wasn’t his main goal. His main goal was to be able to distract the younger Sheryl so that she wouldn’t be interested in him anymore.

Two years later, Rollins could openly doing some adult things with her.

Daphne was already an unknown age, and Delia was nineteen this year. Only Sheryl was sixteen.

After making up her mind, Rollins said to Macmillan, “Uncle, you’ve been too tired recently!”

“I’ll send Sheryl over to help you tomorrow. This will reduce your burden. After all, she is a princess. These things can be easily taken care of.”

After hearing these words, Macmillan was instantly moved. He did not expect his nephew to have grown to such a stage.

“I don’t need many years to fully retire!”

After making arrangements, Rollins got into the carriage. Gavin drove the carriage and said, “Young Master, recently, the guards have been concentrated in the castle, so there’s no way to send Sheryl more guards.”

“Should we go to the Adventurers’ Union in the city to recruit some people?”

“Yes!” Rollins immediately supported his chin with his hand and thought for a while. In the end, he decided to recruit some people.

“Recruit! After all, there are too many unknown dangers now. If we don’t strengthen our defenses, it’ll be very easy for things to go wrong!”

“When father-in-law asks me for an explanation, I won’t be able to answer!”

“After all, Sheryl is my fiancée.”

The carriage traveled very smoothly and soon arrived at Clemente Castle.

Rollins immediately came to the courtyard. At this time, the three women were all lazily drinking tea in the courtyard and basking in the sun.

He immediately walked over to Sheryl and sat beside her and whispered in her ear, “Sheryl, my wife whom I ignored, I have something I want you to help me with!”

Hearing Rollins’s compliment, Sheryl knew that it was definitely not a good job, so she immediately turned her head away.

“Hmph! There’s no sincerity at all.”

Sincerity! Rollins racked his brains but could not think of a solution. She was a princess when it came to gifts, so she had seen everything.

Seeing that Rollins was struggling, Sheryl immediately gave a hint. Seeing that he had turned around, she pouted.

After seeing her actions, Rollins suddenly understood. So that was why he immediately kissed her cherry lips.

Perhaps because she was too eager, Sheryl directly hugged Rollins’s head. This kiss lasted for more than ten minutes before it ended.

“Are you satisfied?”

Because it was the first time, Sheryl’s face was slightly red.

She nodded and replied, “Yes!”

Then, Rollins told her everything about her uncle and told her what she needed to do.

Sheryl immediately agreed. After all, it was his uncle. After building a good relationship with him, her family’s status would also be improved.

“But there aren’t enough guards right now. Let’s wait a few days! After I recruit some strong guards, I’ll send you over.”

Hearing this, Sheryl immediately stopped him and explained, “There’s no need for guards! My Knights will come over in a few days, so you don’t have to worry about the guards!”

Hearing this, Rollins was very happy. After all, all the Imperial Knights were experts.

Moreover, their characters were to protect the members of the royal family.. He didn’t expect his father-in-law to be so thoughtful.
