Chapter 804

In the dead of the night, Shien had basically finished touring his house. He had a rough understanding of his family's current situation.

Although it was only an insignificant force to Sean, and it was nothing compared to the forces that Sean had previously fought against, Sean felt a sense of satisfaction as he watched the Porztut Family prosper. Perhaps it was because they were his subordinates, but Sean felt a sense of satisfaction as he watched the Porztut Family prosper.

"No matter what, this is the first home I've had since I came to this world."

In fact, it might even be the last one, and it would accompany Sean for a long, long time.

That was what Lily had said.

"With your current status, the kingdom will definitely not strip you of your title. As long as you can handle Her Highness Rosie's matter well, they will be happy for you to stay here forever."

A Kingdom of the Brave with a Hero living in it was a huge gimmick. It would be very useful for the kingdom's future development and reputation.

In addition, Sean was a noble of the kingdom and the future husband of Her Royal Highness. With such great power behind him, the Mithra Kingdom definitely hoped to have a noble like him.

Under such circumstances, Shien's position in the kingdom could be said to be impregnable. Unless there was a major problem, the kingdom would definitely be happy to see his existence.

There was an important reason why the higher-ups of the various forces were so eager to build a good relationship with Shien. They believed that Shien's rise was unstoppable. His future status and power would definitely be frighteningly high.

As such, those forces naturally wanted to build a good relationship with Shien and even rope him in.

It was easy to imagine what kind of attraction a powerful, powerful, and undying friend would have to those great forces.

So …

"It's fine if you want to be a hands-off boss, but you can't hinder the development of the Porztutt Family, okay?" Lily said, "Based on your situation, even if it's limited to the kingdom, you will definitely be promoted to a Marquis in the future. You might even marry Her Highness Rosie, who will become a Duke, and walk towards the future of combining titles."

The so-called merging of titles referred to a method of succession that would occur when the heads of two noble families were unable to pass on their titles due to various reasons.

This method of succession usually happened between the heads of two noble families who were about to get married.

When the heads of the two families were unable to pass on their titles and decided to get married, they could choose to combine the titles of the two families after the marriage.

For example, if the head of a Baron's family were to marry the head of another Baron's family, and both of them had their own families but were unable to pass on the title, they could choose to merge the two Baron's families and give them a new surname, or they could use the surname of one of the two families so that the power of the two families could be passed on to the next generation in the future.

Families that had undergone the combination of titles would usually have a great increase in power. Even their evaluation in the kingdom would rise, and they would have the chance of being promoted.

Families of the combined titles would usually have a great increase in power, and even had the chance.

After all, Shien was the first head of the Borztutt family. He had no children, no marriage partners, and no relatives. His title would definitely not be passed on under such circumstances.

It was the same for Rosie. If she became independent in the future, she would no longer be a princess of the kingdom, but a Duke. As the first head of the Duke's family, her title would also not be passed on.

In that case, if the two of them got married, which family would they choose to enter?

Shien marrying into the Duke's family?

Then the Borztutt family would have no heir.

Rosie marrying into the Borztutt family?

Then, the highest rank of nobility that she had obtained would be thrown away.

Of course, Shien could also choose to have a child with another woman and let the child inherit the Borztutt family before marrying into the Duke's family. Rosie could also choose to adopt a child and let the child inherit the Duke's family. But why would the two of them do such a thing for a so-called title?

Hence, if such a situation were to occur, Shien and Rosie would basically only have two choices.

The first was to get married but not marry into the family. They would continue to manage their own families and wait until they had more than two children before letting the two children inherit the family.

The second was to merge the titles so that the Borztutt family and Rosie's Duke family would be treated as one family.

The advantage of the former was that the family name could be kept and the family could be passed on.

The advantage of the latter was that the family could expand its influence and even be promoted.

In human countries, many nobles had encountered the above situations and made two different choices.

As for Shien and Rosie, they did not really care whether this so-called family could be passed on or not, and whether they could keep their family name or not.

If it were a wealthy family like the Elbeck family or the Lazahad family, they would definitely not be willing to merge with another family in order to live up to the contributions of their ancestors and the thousands of years of their family members.

However, based on Shien and Rosie's situation, it was highly possible that their titles would be merged.

When that time came …

"If they merge with the Duke family, the Borztutt family will become a genuine Duke noble," Lily said solemnly. Lily said solemnly, "And if you become a noble of the highest rank, the Potter Tutt Family will need to expand their influence and even obtain a fief to become the lord of a territory."

It could be said that the future of the Borztutt family was bright.

Lily naturally did not want to see such a family with such a promising future become useless.

Not to mention, this family still had her childhood friend and fellow adventurers whom she had always cared about.

"If you don't have the leisure to deal with these troublesome matters, you can choose someone you can trust to help you," Lily said. "Think about it carefully."

After saying that, Lily returned to her room with Vivian and the rest.

During this period of time, Lily had been staying in the Borztutt family's house as a temporary representative to handle various matters for the Borztutt family.

Because of this, Lily knew the problem that the Borztutt family was facing.

That was, they urgently needed a true leader.

With a leader, the Borztutt family could prosper day by day and expand continuously.

Originally, this person should have been Shien.

However, Shien did not have the leisure to deal with these troublesome matters.

Since that was the case …

"I really have to think about who I should find to be my representative and help me manage the family."

Shien fell into deep thought.

He only had a few criteria in mind.

"First, this person must be someone I can absolutely trust. Only then can I prevent the Borztutt family from nurturing an ambitious invader."

"Second, this person's business ability, management ability, and even political sense must be very sensitive to avoid being eaten up by those ruthless nobles."

"Furthermore, this person needs to have enough time, and even enough strength, to be able to protect this family."

"Finally, this person's temperament must also pass. I don't want to find someone I don't like to disgust me or even be tempted by external factors."

That was what Shien thought.

As he pondered, Shien suddenly sensed something and looked to his side.

There, You Lin was holding Lilith's hand and talking excitedly.

"I used to lie in the courtyard and sleep. Now that I've finally transformed into a human, I can have my own room, right?"

You Lin was impatient for this.

In this way, she didn't realize that Sean was looking at her with a strange expression.

Shien sized You Lin up while silently calculating.

"Someone I can absolutely trust — √."

You Lin's loyalty was unquestionable. Otherwise, she would have joined the dragon race long ago.

"Business ability, management ability, and even political sense — √."

After transforming into a human, this lass was much smarter than before. She had even explained the mentality of the various factions to him. She was not at a disadvantage when facing Grati and Bruti, and even had a clearer understanding of certain matters than the two founders of the dragon race. With proper training, she might not be inferior to Lily.

"Enough time, enough strength — √."

Everyone knew how long a dragon's lifespan was. This lass had already reached the Extreme Level. Other than Transcendent Level existences, she would not be afraid of anyone. Her strength was undoubtedly quite reassuring.

"Temperament — √."

Although she was childish at times, had a bad temper, and was willful and unreasonable, it was obvious that You Lin would not be tempted by external factors, nor would she mess up the things that he had instructed her to do.

To sum it up, it was — "The perfect tool man."

Thinking of this, Shien's gaze towards You Lin unconsciously became evil.

"Master?"

You Lin seemed to have felt something. Her delicate body trembled slightly, as if she was cold. She looked at Shien with doubt.

Shien suddenly said this in front of You Lin.

"Dragon." Shien said earnestly, "Do you feel that you still have some shortcomings now?"

"Wh … What?" You Lin blinked, confused.

"It's nothing." Shien patted You Lin's shoulder and continued to say earnestly, "I just feel that since your strength has reached the peak, shouldn't you pursue improvement in other areas?"

"… For example?" You Lin was silent for a while, and then asked this question with a subtle expression.

To be honest, You Lin was very interested in the topic that Shien mentioned.

Pursuing improvement. For You Lin, who had worked hard until now and had reached the limit of her life, it was indeed attractive enough.

However, as a dragon, her wildness told You Lin that Shien had ill intentions.

As expected …

"For example, you can read more books, study hard, improve every day, and become a cultured dragon."

Shien said such words.

“？”

You Lin typed a question mark in her mind.

Shien acted as if he didn't see anything and began to make arrangements.

"I will ask someone to find some books related to management, business, or politics for you to study."

“？”

"I'll also give you some homework every day so that you can apply what you've learned and really absorb the knowledge into your stomach."

“？？”

"If you need, I can also hire someone to teach you. It won't be a problem for you to study for 20 hours every day."

“？？？”

"By the way, when you have nothing to do, you can visit Lily and Vivian. Learn more and watch more."

“？？？？”

"How is it? Are you happy? "

"…"

After this conversation, You Lin, who was full of questions, finally fell silent. She looked at Shien not as if he was a respectable master, but as if she was looking at a demon.

I'm not a human, but you are a real dog.jpg.

Therefore, You Lin picked up Lilith, who was at a loss, and ran away.

Shien watched her leave, his eyes filled with love.

"You are really like a brat who doesn't want to go to school."

Shien had many ways to deal with such a brat.

For example, he could spank her …

…

In the middle of the night, Borztutt's house had regained its peace. It was no longer as lively and noisy as before.

Many people no longer came out to walk around. Other than the night staff, the rest had already returned to their rooms to rest.

Of course, there were also many people in Borztutt's house who did not rest at night.

Like the knights who were patrolling and standing guard at night, they were prepared to stay up all night.

Due to this, the courtyard of Borztutt's house was filled with knights holding magic lanterns.

There were even many patrolling guards in the mansion. It was evident that the security of Borztutt's house was well done.

Many spies from the various factions who were stationed around Borztutt's house felt troubled when they saw this scene.

There must be some among them who still had evil intentions and wanted to sneak into Borztutt's house to harm others for their own benefit.

At this moment, Shien was taking a bath, which he had not done for a long time.

"It's still so comfortable to soak in my own bathhouse ~ ~ ~ (* ^ ▽ ^ *)"

Shien had a towel over his head as he leaned against the edge of the huge bathhouse. He spread his arms and looked extremely happy.

"The last time I was this comfortable was in the Elven Homeland, right?"

The hot spring mana source in the Elven Homeland was not bad, and Shien could not forget it even now.

However, after that time, Shien rarely had such enjoyment.

"Needless to say, I didn't have that kind of leisure time in the Imperial Capital."

"My trip to the Realm of Devils was quite troublesome at the beginning. Later on, the lives of the devils improved greatly, but I never had such a comfortable bath."

"The mana transfer pool in the Demon King's Mansion looks nice, but it's not for bathing."

Now that he thought about it, Sean had indeed not been as relaxed as he was now for a long time.

After relaxing for a while, Shien suddenly had an idea.

"Splash …"

Suddenly, the sound of water entered his ears, evoking his memories.

"That's right …"

When he was taking a bath at home, he had his own friends to flirt with.

Thinking of this, Shien immediately wanted to remove the towel from his face.

However …

"Don't move."

An unexpected voice interrupted his actions.
