Chapter 637: 204. Calm Knight_2

If one thinks carefully, it’s not difficult to see more secret details.

For example, why does Sienna’s one-fifth of the inheritance just happen to include this territory within the Suman Archipelago?

Keep in mind that the Head of the family is responsible for distributing the inheritance, and the Head is usually the first in line for inheritance within a Wizard Family.

Furthermore, when Sienna was forced to sell her territory, it is not necessarily Dickler Fagan who would buy this land from her.

Many thoughts crossed Noland Lee’s mind, and it was undeniable that Kaiden and Sienna were caught in a carefully woven net.

Sienna, young and naive, might not understand her situation, but Kaiden, who was over fifty, should be able to perceive it.

In other words, Noland Lee buying the other seven islands under Sienna’s name was not just helping her complete the first periodic assessment, but also interfering with many people’s hidden plans.

After explaining the reasons and consequences, Kaiden remained silent and gave Noland time to think.

The guest room fell silent.

Sienna’s small hands nervously gripped her skirt.

Kaiden shook his head slightly at her, signaling for her to stay quiet.

Sienna froze, her hands still gripping the corner of her skirt.

Noland contemplated for a moment, then asked a question: freeweɓnovel.cøm

“Kaiden, after completing the first periodic assessment, does Miss Sienna have any plans? Will she continue to stay in the Suman Archipelago or move to another place to live?”

Kaiden replied:

“Miss Sienna plans to move to the Moon Bay Peninsula on the Kashel Continent and settle there permanently.”

“Hmph…” Sienna seemed somewhat dissatisfied and uttered a soft sound, her mouth pouting and her eyes looking down at the ground, she muttered her first words of the night:

“This is where Daddy grew up, though…”

“Ahem.” Kaiden coughed lightly.

Sienna closed her mouth.

“Moon Bay Peninsula…” Noland recalled, which was the territory of another Wizard Family, flourishing and thriving.

The decision to move to Moon Bay Peninsula was obviously made by Kaiden. Sending Sienna to such a place… oh, I see.

Noland, who had played many games produced by P before crossing over, understood Kaiden’s intentions in an instant.

If Noland’s guess was correct, Kaiden intended to arrange a marriage for Sienna through an alliance after she came of age.

According to the family inheritance system, after getting married, Sienna would change her family branch’s surname and thus leave the Pangula Family. From then on, she could escape most family disputes and become a noblewoman devoted to her husband.

Kaiden really made efforts to ensure Sienna could live a safe and peaceful life. Unfortunately, Sienna is too young right now to understand the rationale behind forcing her to give up her father’s inheritance.

Noland had some thoughts in mind and nodded to Kaiden, saying:

“A wise choice, Kaiden. Such an arrangement is the best for Sienna. But a 2% rebate alone is not enough for me to buy the other seven islands. The risks I have to bear are far greater than the 2% rebate.”

Why would buying the islands entail risks… Sienna was confused as she listened and looked blankly at her housekeeper.

Kaiden was prepared for Noland’s answer, and he stretched out four fingers:

“A 4% rebate, no more.”

Noland shook his head slightly:

“No, Kaiden. Money is not that essential to me. I want something else.”

Kaiden’s expression changed slightly. He knew very well that this was a sign of someone asking for more favors. Saying things like “want something else” and “money is not essential” were all about not offering enough money in the end.

Facing a bewildered Sienna and a vigilant Kaiden, Noland raised his hand and shook it:

“Don’t misunderstand me. Here’s the thing, Kaiden—the night is getting late, and I think Miss Sienna looks a bit weary today. Why don’t you settle her down first, and then the two of us can have a more detailed talk?”

After a few seconds of pondering, Kaiden stood up and took Sienna out of the guest room, having the Magic Servant escort her to the bedroom.

Only Noland and Kaiden were left in the guest room.

With Sienna no longer present, the two could speak more openly.

“What do you want, Mr. Jarvis? To borrow from the Witch Spirit Pavilion as the family heir? Or open a workshop in Sienna’s name?” Kaiden thought about many things, most of which were related to what he had seen and heard while serving Sienna’s father.

Noland waved his hand:

“No, Kaiden. I’m not interested in such opportunistic practices. I want to discuss the Way of the Knight with you.”

Kaiden was stunned, and his eyes became even more alert:

“You know who I am…”

“Yes, I know who you are. It’s hard to believe that the once-famed ‘Calm Knight’ of 30 years ago is now serving as a housekeeper for the younger generation of a lesser branch of a fallen family. It seems that you and Sienna’s parents must have gone through a lot, leading you to hide your identity and serve them and their descendants.”

Noland’s expression was as usual. As he read the deconstruction results in his mind, he talked with Kaiden eloquently.

When he conversed with Kaiden earlier, out of curiosity, Noland had consumed 2200 energy points to deconstruct him.

Without deconstructing, one could not know that the white-haired old man in front of him was the “Calm Knight,” a figure recorded in various wizardry textbooks such as “Fundamentals of Magic” and “The Path of the Wizard.”

In a world dominated by wizards, for a knight like him to be recorded in wizardry textbooks shows just how outstanding his personal strength was.
