Derrick understood a little bit of the meaning of respect.

The things between nobles, sometimes the loyalty makes you think you see faith.

But more often, it is so decadent that even the bard can't make it up.

Derek admitted that he was a double standard dog.

He can accept playing with other people's wives, but can't accept others playing with his wife.

So, he immediately made his attitude clear: "I can give you respect, but it may not be what you think."

Miss Tiona didn't think it was strange, and there were many nobles with this idea.

Although she was willing to accept the reality of Derek's promiscuity, it didn't mean that she didn't have any resentment in her heart.

There may be a reason for saying this.

But at least now, before giving birth to the first child, she has no other thoughts.

This is the obligation and responsibility of a noble wife. If she violates it, even her own family will not support her.

When Derek made his attitude clear, she certainly didn't feel angry, but smiled brightly: "If you can bring me more respect, everything I have will be as you wish."

Want to be honest? No problem, let the Viscountess become a Countess, enjoy more power and glory, and can also meet the needs of the noble lady.

"No problem, and before you go further in the title, you will be able to experience the glory of the Augusta family mistress."

Derek is very confident. Although the Augusta family is currently just an empty shell, its strength is not weak.

Being a Countess may not be as glorious as this Viscountess.

Tiona's request is very reasonable.

Political marriage is destined to be relatively equal, and it is impossible to unilaterally demand the other party.

The first formal meeting between the two was considered to be a consensus.

So it was natural to make an appointment to meet again the next day.

If there are no problems with the several contacts before marriage, the next step is to get married formally.

Derek looked at the figure of Miss Tiona leaving and fell into deep thought.

"The power of the old nobles should not be underestimated!"

Although what happened before I came here was not particularly confidential, it was not public.

When I arrived in Plan City, even Tiona knew about it.

Obviously, the Perez family has spies in Augusta Territory.

Derek did not think about it any further. This kind of thing is actually very normal, just like he is doing this kind of thing.

Integrating into the banquet again, Derek seemed as if nothing had happened. Miss Tiona came to meet him specially, but he had more social activities.

Count Perez would not mention this matter either. This is a matter of communication between the younger generation. Even if it fails, he has other granddaughters, and the marriage between the two families will not change.

Absolute combination of interests, personal will is not important, and even who it is is not important.

In the next few days, Derek met Miss Tiona many times, and the two were quite compatible.

It's just that this marriage is more like a business, and feelings can only be cultivated after marriage.

Another important thing is to watch the handover of the southern nobles.

So far, the entire Saint Maitreya Province has completely fallen into the hands of the Locke Kingdom.

The counterattack of the Holy Cross Kingdom next year will become particularly weak.

But Derek dared not relax. He always remembered that the Saint Maitreya Province was not conquered by the Locke Kingdom.

The Barbarian Kingdom went to great lengths to provoke a war between the two countries, is it really just to exchange for a few years of peace?

Whether it is Count Perez or others, they are now on guard, and Derek can only suppress his doubts.

The heavy snow fell again, and this New Year finally arrived.

This is the second New Year that Derek has spent in this world.

Compared with the last time he spent it in the Ferreira family, this time he can only spend it in Augusta County.

The lonely ones represent the thinness of the surname Augusta.

The knights and servants also took a short vacation to go home, and the army also took turns to rest.

With the arrival of heavy snow, all human activities almost stopped.

Derek returned to Augusta County and prepared to spend his first lonely winter in the manor outside the city.

Of course, Derek also met the three sisters of the Palmer family.

This winter is not so cold.

Unlike Miss Tiona, who is a bit heroic, the sisters of the Palmer family are more enchanting and have a bit more feminine charm.

After the indulgent and cold New Year, when the heavy snow gradually subsided, the farmers who had rested for almost a month began to move.

Production will gradually resume.

In another month, the prelude to spring ploughing will also begin.

During this interval, guests from the northern provinces also came from afar.

"Third brother!"

Sharif rode the brown warhorse given to him by Derek, wearing an iron-studded leather armor. Although his face was red from the cold, his expression was beaming with joy.

Some of the unsatisfactory Ferreira family's collateral branches followed Sharif to join Derek.

Nobles always have a bunch of messy relatives.

Derek may not be familiar with many people, but they are a talent pool that can be selected after all.

Derek will not bluntly reject or treat these people who come to him, and may even give them some preferential treatment.

Those who are capable will be assigned some positions, and those who are willing to learn can also learn first. If you are not capable and do not want to learn, you can also taste the whip of Knight Simon.

Derek, who was knighted for his military merits, would not be blindly tolerant.

However, he treated Sharif differently.

After all, he was his younger brother, and he inherited the memory of this body, so he could not say that he had no feelings for him at all.

Besides, Sharif is not a playboy. Sharif, who has completed the knight training, will at least not be a drag.

As Derek's power gradually shifted here, Sharif could not stay at home and rushed over directly.

He was eager to make achievements and hoped to follow the pace of his third brother.

Derek had just experienced the feeling of loneliness, so he was naturally happy to see Sharif's arrival.

As soon as Sharif arrived, Derek immediately assigned him a task.

"Sharif, there is one thing that only you can do, as my brother."

"What is it? Do you need me to go into battle?"

"No, just contact someone, but it needs to be kept secret, and it is also dangerous. If you can complete the task, I will give you a knight's territory." Derek said solemnly.

This is not taking care of the younger brother, on the contrary, it is very dangerous.

He considered sending others, but there was only enough time for one round trip.

Others could not make promises on their behalf, and Sharif's identity was very suitable.

Although it was not a battle, it was rare to get a knight's fiefdom.

Sharif gladly accepted the order, and Derek immediately told him the task alone and gave him some contingency plans.

"Sharif, when you need to make a decision, be decisive. I will bear all the consequences. Remember, be decisive."

"I understand, be decisive."

Even if it is a wrong decision, it is better than not making a decision.

The more decisive you are, the more trust you can get from others in that environment.
