Of course, this has nothing to do with Brian. He will not harm orphans and widows just to avenge his uncle, Viscount Holden.

There was definitely no appetite to talk about this kind of thing while eating, so Duke Horsman turned to another topic.

"The child of our King Ibuprofen III and Queen Mafia will be born next month. If another daughter is born, it will be the King's 7th daughter.

If it weren't for the fact that your majesty's eldest son is a boy, our good old king would probably die of panic.

Although the relationship between His Majesty and I is not very good, it is mainly because of different political opinions. I still respect His Majesty Ibuprofen III very much.

Especially His Majesty the King's youngest daughter, who is already 16 years old this year, is just old enough to enter into a marriage contract. Originally, I wanted your brother Ren to enter into a marriage contract with the Sixth Princess.

It's a pity that Renn doesn't seem to care about this, and has repeatedly refused marriage with the royal family on the grounds that he was in a critical period of cultivation."

After hearing his father's words, Brian couldn't help but roll his eyes. He quickly picked up the wine glass next to him and took a sip to hide his desire to complain.

Although it is nothing to be more than ten years behind in a noble marriage, the age gap between the sixth princess and Ren is indeed a bit big. Especially this year, the sixth princess is only 16 years old. When you mentioned this matter to Ren, how old was the sixth princess?

How old are you? Are you 14?

How could a man like Ren, who abides by chivalry and integrity, agree?

Even though I am twice older than the princess and two years older than other princesses, if I want to get engaged, I still have to wait two years.

Duke Horsmanland immediately noticed something strange about his son and said.

"You don't want to refuse the marriage with the Sixth Princess, do you? I know you all think that the Sixth Princess is young, but it's just an engagement, and it doesn't mean that you can have a wedding immediately and wait for another two years without any rush.

But this matter must be decided first. After all, His Majesty the King's daughter is very popular. Who makes Queen Malfia so beautiful?

Ah, this wretched old man also knows that the Sixth Princess is young, but what is your expression when you say that the Queen is beautiful?

No wonder the relationship with the king is not good. If the king sees you like this, His Majesty Ibuprofen III will not behead you, and he will be sorry for Queen Mafia who gave birth to 7 children for him.

Today Brian finally got to see another side of Duke Horsman, and he really felt like his character had collapsed.

Now Brian just wants to finish the lunch in front of him and leave here quickly, otherwise it will be really embarrassing.

But Duke Horsman quickly put away the obscene expression on his face and said with some solemnity.

"It's okay if you don't want to enter into a marriage contract now. I received news not long ago that the Kingdom of Burgundy to the west of us has also been invaded by mountain goblins.

These stupid goblins have never been looked down upon by humans. This time, for some unknown reason, they unite to attack human towns.

What's even more unbelievable is that these disgusting creatures actually conquered several human towns, and those humans fell into the hands of goblins even worse than those who fell into the hands of orcs.

I suspect that these goblins may have joined forces with the orcs in the north.

Both of our neighboring countries have been invaded by aliens, and the war has reached our doorstep.

If they don't want to fight on the mainland, it won't be long before the Frankish Kingdom sends out an expeditionary force again. After experiencing the lessons of the Duke of Freiburg, the marshal of this expeditionary force must be a general with rich combat experience.

And in our Frankish Kingdom, we are the only commanders who have the experience of commanding large armies, who are young and powerful, and whose status is high enough. The Duke of Bourbon and I are the only ones."

When the war was mentioned, Brian's mood became solemn. The construction of Lanesburg had just begun, and Brian's personal strength had only improved slightly.

Once all-out war breaks out, Brian's good days will come to an end.

If Duke Horsman goes to the battlefield, the entire Horsman family will go all out, let alone his second son.

Seeing Brian's nervous expression, Duke Horsman comforted him.

"Brian, you don't have to worry too much. The orcs did not attack humans in an all-out way, they just invaded the Principality of Alton, and the goblins are even more affected by scabies.

I'm just worried that these alien invasions are just a prelude, and the real crisis is still waiting for us later.

At that time, it will no longer be a matter for us as a Frankish Kingdom, and we will have to rely on the Human Alliance to resist together.

So Brian, you have to work hard to grow up in the past few years before the war breaks out. Whether it is personal strength or the armed forces you control, only if you are strong enough can you survive in troubled times."

"I understand, Father, I will work hard."

After lunch, Brian did not go to the training ground with Duke Horsman, but returned to his room. He felt that if he wanted to do something, he could only give full play to his own strengths.

Brian had previously planned to give his mastery of debit and credit accounting methods to the family, using his advanced accounting theory and methods to improve the family's accounting efficiency and financial management.

Especially after becoming a magician, Brian's mental power has greatly increased, and many forgotten memories and knowledge in his previous life can now be recalled in his mind.

So for the next two days, Brian stayed in his room and never went out. Even when he had meals, he asked the maid to take them to his room.

Duke Horsman initially thought that Brian was practicing magic in his room, so he ordered the guards to guard outside Brian's room to prevent others from disturbing him.

But the servant who delivered the meal said that the second young master had been writing something. This aroused Duke Horsman's curiosity, but he did not ask directly, but waited for Brian to give him an answer.

Sure enough, Brian came out of the room after breakfast two days later. He was going to take the Griffin Knight back to Lansburg.

It was time to say goodbye to Duke Horsman, but he did not come empty-handed, but instead came with a thick stack of parchment.

Duke Horsman knew that his son was leaving the castle today, so he waited in the study room early. Looking at the parchment held by Brian who walked in, he asked curiously.

"Is this the result of your hard work these two days?"

Brian put a thick stack of parchment paper on the table, pushed it in front of Duke Horsman and said.

"Yes, father, these are some accounting methods I have summarized. I call them debit and credit accounting. Using this new accounting method can effectively improve the efficiency of the family's financial management.
