Chapter 52

Vlad then looked in the direction of Melanie in a meaningful manner and said to her, "It will be your responsibility to provide medicine baths and pastes for both of them, the only thing I can provide is training and share some of my experiences, I have gone through the same training and so will John so we can't go in a roundabout way for this training . Anyway let's look at the guy since you are so interested in him"

"Well that guy's name is Jake, he seems most worthy for the future among all the slaves when it comes for combat . Additionally, he is young enough who can be trained for the future . "

As aspected, it was Jake which Vlad already knew about since only Tornwall and Jake stood out among all the slaves however Jake had eyes of a wolf showing emotions full of determination and revenge deep inside them and hence Vlad's conclusion on Jake .

As the conversation concluded between them, all of them first headed to John's mansion and look for Jake .

Today in one of the markets of North-frontier town there was a man who wore a hat that had a long feather behind it . This man looked very different from other people, he wore a yellow sand-colored long coat, he wore a dark brown colored shirt within it, below he wore long trousers of light brown color . He had a bowtie on his shirt and a broach pinned on his coat, He had a bag on his back and carried a portrait on his hand with a feather brush on his other hand . He had long ears compared to other people and Golden hair . He had an average height and he showed an extraordinary demeanor . He was basically a half-elf and half-human .

He was also the guy who sold the portrait of John's Mansion to one of Vlad's men . During his visit to North-frontier Town, he was quite fascinated by the changes that were occurring over here . His name was Ryfon Zinfiel, he had studied at the Imperial city and came from there to rediscover about himself and more about the world .

During his visit, he noticed that the volume of traders and people coming to this town had increased recently and the center to this attention was the newly appointed honorary baron who bought this fief from Baron Mendez only recently as this was the talk of the town .

Today after a long time he had decided to visit John as he already came back . He had long wanted to meet John because of his interest in John's mansion and its architecture .

Recently he also visited Paul the Woodworker from this town and he was quite shocked by the workings of his shop as they were the ones who recently made the newly designed items of furniture around the North-frontier city and recently even a lot of nobles ordered them to try it .

Because of the increasing popularity recently a lot of rich people ordered their furniture from Paul and this has also resulted in many people imitating their designs . Ryfon inquired about these designs directly from Paul and later he got to know from them that these designs were personally made by John . They were made because John wanted these types of furniture to be made in his mansion when he built his mansion and hence this was how they got these designs . He also clarified that they already got permission from John when they started selling this furniture in their shop .

This small creation of John actually helped the village a lot, because he created employment opportunities for the villagers in the town indirectly . It was because Paul nowadays required more men as he was in short of labor to fulfill all the orders taken . This month alone, he took more orders from merchants and nobles when he usually didn't get this much work in a full year .

Many merchants were even ordering furniture from him so that they could resell it in other cities as works made by original creators .

This one small detail made Ryfon understand that Baron John was changing North-frontier town with small steps but they were having large effects as it accumulated more and more .

Meanwhile, at the other end, Melanie, Vlad and John arrived at the Mansion . Taylor as the head butler of the Mansion invited them .

Taylor had started organizing all the work of the Mansion after he got appointed as the head butler of Mansion . At first, he didn't understand the importance of this position .

But slowly he will realize the importance of this role,

As always Taylor greeted John and other guests inside the Mansion,

Melanie remarked after watching the Mansion, "John you have made quite a good mansion, I only heard it from Sam and Eva but it seems that the rumors were really true that your Mansion was quite different from Normal Mansions and Palaces . "

"Ahem ahem"

Vlad coughed a bit to indicate that they should get straight to the main point .

John understood and asked Taylor to bring in Jake . Taylor was quite confused but he still bought Jake to the room they were staying, recently Jake was training with Alan and Josephine in the courtyard .

"You can stay Taylor"

As Taylor was leaving John indicated that he stay and listen to the current conversation that was going to take place .

"This is the guy who I am going to take in to train for future, what do you think master?" John asked Melanie in a serious tone .

Melanie saw Jake and commented after watching him for a while to everyone present in the hall, "Well he seems like a determined boy, I guess I can understand the reason why both of you were interested in training him . It will be interesting to see how he grows along with you . "

Melanie then saw Jake and said to him"Boy, you are too young to have those eyes, learn to hide your emotions if you want to achieve your goals . you still have pure eyes and are trying acting like a man . See that Old man on the side, you can never understand what he is thinking even when you know him for years as many times he would do things differently from the norm . He could kill you with a smiling face and you wouldn't even know who killed you if you are not alert . That man has buried a lot of secrets . Learn to hide your emotions like him . "

"Okay let's get to business, I think it is ok to train him, I won't have problems using resources on him as well . well anyway, it would his decision if he wants to get stronger . "

Melanie sighed and then signaled to John,

John then asked Jake and Taylor of their whole proposal since they saw him previously, "Jake what do you think about training with us? It will fully be your choice, we have two proposals for you which are either you can join us in helping our business since you have experience in business with your father or you can train with Vlad for special training .
