"Master, there's a carriage convoy!"

Lynn heard this and turned to look.

Under the gloomy sky, he saw a dozen carriages proceeding along the lime road.

A string of armored soldiers mounted on horses and holding winged spears surrounded the convoy front and back.

The townsmen, just finishing work, chose to stay clear upon seeing these soldiers.

Thus, the convoy appeared somewhat abrupt on the lime road.

After ten minutes.

A group separated from the convoy and stopped at the open square.

At the front, a striking figure leaped off a horse and, cat-like, gingerly made her way towards Lynn.

A snow-white mink cloak draped down her back, while the pale yellow fine wool tight suit traced her figure elegantly.

Even in such a cold winter, Kari spared no effort in flaunting her impressive figure.

A snowy valley marked her cleavage, while her fair, straight, slightly curvy long legs were clad in knee-high pale yellow leather boots.

The boots' edges were adorned with tufts of fur, evidently lined for warmth.

As she approached Lynn, noticing his gaze sweeping over her, Kari showed a smug smile.

In a soft tone, Kari said, "Master Lynn, long time no see, have you missed me?"

After glancing at Kari a few times, Lynn calmly replied, "Of course... "

Kari raised a brow, slightly surprised, but the next moment, she looked wistful in her eyes.

"Compared to the goods you brought, I naturally miss Miss Kari more."

While appearing to care about her, every word revolved around the goods.

Kari couldn't help but begin to doubt herself!

Her beauty, her figure, really held no charm for Lynn?

Just as she was about to speak, Lynn had already moved to walk behind her.

Lynn's voice followed, "Miss Kari, what kind of goods did you bring me this time?"

Lynn's gaze scanned the almost fully-loaded carriages concealed under linen oilcloth.

Kari reluctantly dispelled the stray thoughts, revealing a confident smile, "Master Lynn, I've brought all grain and food!"

"Fifty thousand pounds of barley, ten thousand pounds of wheat."

Lynn nodded in satisfaction, "Good, I'll take all these goods!"

"Name your price, Miss Kari."

In terms of storable grain, Lynn always greeted it eagerly.

Even willing to buy at high prices!

Kari didn't think too much, simply said, "At market price is fine."

"Wheat one penny a pound, barley one penny five pounds!"

"Calculated, that would be..."

Lynn continued, "Exchanged for fine salt, I can offer you three thousand four hundred pounds of fine salt!"

Kari pondered for two seconds; strictly speaking, these grains could only exchange for three thousand three hundred thirty pounds of fine salt.

But evidently, Lynn gave her an extra few dozen pounds!

Kari looked at Lynn with satisfaction, "Very good price, thank you for your generosity, Master Lynn."

With Lynn and Kari agreeing on the price, George, standing by, directed the townsmen to begin unloading.

Kari glanced at the unloading townsmen and the gradually dimming sky.

Kari hesitantly looked towards Lynn, "I have a presumptuous request to bother you with, Master Lynn."

Lynn nodded, waiting for her to continue.

Kari continued, "Master Lynn, may I reside on your territory for one night?"

She had weathered several sleepless nights from Kasong City to Lynn's territory.

In nights so cold, even a few more are hard for Kari to endure!

Not only herself, her guards and carriage convoy would also be affected.

The hesitation stems from never having stayed overnight on someone's territory!

Lynn gave Kari a surprising glance.

He remembered inviting her last time, but she refused.

Lynn nodded, "Of course, you may."

"If Miss Kari doesn't mind, you can stay in the castle."

With Lynn's prompt reply, Kari displayed a playful smile, "You mean, your bed is big and soft?"

Lynn shifted the tone, "Then stay at the merchant guild hall; there are rooms specifically for hosting traveling merchants."

Kari couldn't help but roll her eyes and clench her teeth.

How could Lynn find her unappealing?

Nonetheless, this made Kari feel more at ease.

With George assigned to further arrangements, Lynn led Kari toward the nearby castle.

Walking along, Kari's gaze scanned the surroundings.

Compared to previous haste, she now had more time to observe Lynn's territory.

Neatly laid out red brick houses, consecutive workshop zones, townsmen finishing labor, heading along red brick roads toward the distant cafeteria.

Cheerful voices constantly echoed in the town, adding warmth and liveliness to the typically desolate winter.

Acadia River stood with a succession of waterwheels.

On the river, a fleet of cargo boats approached the dock, ready for landing.

In the distance, under the nightfall, lay expanses of cultivated farmland...

Amid such scenery, Kari's initially ecstatic mood gradually began to quieten.

Compared to other cities and territories.

Lynn's territory evoked warmth and peace within Kari...

In contrast to the bustling world outside, it felt like a paradise here!

A strange thought emerged in Kari's mind — it might not be bad to spend her remaining days here!

However, Kari knew as long as the Brown Clan's family rules exist, she would forever remain Brown Clan's member!

Never able to escape Brown Clan.

Unless...

She attains Audrey Brown's resolve and strength!

Kari withdrew her gaze, now brought into the castle under Lynn's lead.

Passing through Weng City, the group arrived at the second-floor reception hall.

Kuisi stepped forward, "Master, dinner is prepared, shall we dine now?"

Lynn nodded, "We have a guest, prepare an extra set of tableware."

Kuisi raised a brow, tilting her head slightly for a glance.

That tumultuous whiteness immediately invaded her sight.

A familiar figure, a familiar face...

It's that cow again!

However, Kuisi promptly bowed, "Certainly, Master, I'll do it right away."

Kuisi bowed and withdrew.

Kari eyed Kuisi with a playful gaze.

Ever sensitive to women's emotional shifts, Kari instantly detected a subtle change in Kuisi's expression.

Lynn wouldn't prefer such a flat-chested, flat-bottomed woman, would he?

Still a maid?
