<span style="font-weight:400">The days heading to the Stillword family were quite straightforward. They would take breaks along the way. Inside the carriage,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hah! I win!" Keith then ced his cards down. But as he did so,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Not so fast, take this!" Carolyn grinned as she showed her hand.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..."
<span style="font-weight:400">"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.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Guess I win." Sarah grinned as she ced her cards down.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Keith and Carolyn''s expression dropped when they saw that. Are you kidding me?
<span style="font-weight:400">"I will be taking this," Sarah grinned as she happily took the choctes from the table. The chips they used were choctes. It went from dark-milk-white from low to high. Sarah took everything home.
<span style="font-weight:400">Jack grabbed his head!
<span style="font-weight:400">"No! My choctes! Sister, can''t you share?" All his choctes were riding on this. Yet, it went to his sister.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Nope! I''m going to keep all of this," Sarah grinned. Carolyn and Krystal could look at the girl in envy; that pile of chocte would make anyone jealous. Keith smiled; he didn''t mind. But as they were talking with one another,
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Young Master, we can see the Stillword vige." The group was arriving at the vige quitete at noon.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Understood." Keith nodded, "We''re close to your home."
<span style="font-weight:400">"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.
<span style="font-weight:400">That was when Keith stepped in, and the Count''s family imploded.
<span style="font-weight:400">Thest thing Keith remembered was that the vige was pretty lifeless because of the Count''s actions.
<span style="font-weight:400">Count Mills had cut off their trade routes. But that was a few months ago. As they entered the vige,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Everything looks so much better!" Sarah eximed as she saw people walking around. It was more than before. The vigers weren''t down and in the dumps but had bright looks.
<span style="font-weight:400">"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.
<span style="font-weight:400">"There''s no need to cry, Sarah." "Yeah," Sarah was beingforted by the two girls while Jack stared out.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"You''re not going to cry about this?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"No," Jack said, "As long as everyone is fine, then I''m d."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Your hand is saying something different. Jack''s fist was clenched tight as it trembled. It was evident that he was excited about this.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">That was when they arrived in front of the mansion. Sarah quickly dashed out the door, "Mother! Father." Ryan, Reba, and their two siblings were waiting there.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Dear," Reba held her daughter tightly.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Greetings, Baron Stillword," Keith bowed his head, and so did Krystal and Carolyn.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Wee to our home?" Ryan bowed.
<span style="font-weight:400">"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."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"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.
<span style="font-weight:400">"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.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"But still, to put your life on the line," Ryan and Reba couldn''t believe he would do something like that. The child had used such a duel against a count.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s fine. Enough with the thank you. Let''s enjoy our meal."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm," Ryan nodded. However, that only caused Jack to frown, "Can you even call this a meal?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"The food that we eat on the ind is so much more delicious," Jack muttered. Ryan''s eyes narrowed; however, Sarah added,
<span style="font-weight:400">"It actually is."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Really? Sister?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"…" Carolyn and Krystal didn''t say anything as it would be rude. But they agreed. This was actually not that good.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s actually quite pleasant to eat," Keith added, "But speaking of food, Uncle Ryan, have you thought about incorporating new stores into the vige?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?" Now, everyone''s expression changed.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"I was also thinking about adding a bakery and merchant group here."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ah, are you sure?" Ryan had heard about the bakeries and merchant shops that had been set up in the north.
<span style="font-weight:400">Each one was doing excellent and well regarded.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm, I''ve been thinking of expanding into the lower portion of the northern regions as well."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Do it, Father!" "Yeah!" Jack and Sarah''s eyes brightened as they pumped their fist.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Umm, our territory isn''t like that."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"So? I just want to work with you," Keith grinned.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Then sure. I will have and ready for you."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s great. I''ll tell my people about this as well."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yippe!" "We get bread!" Jack and Sarah sighed in relief as they couldn''t believe it. They wouldn''t have to starve like fools.
