Lord of the Truth

"It is you who have arranged this, didn't you? you couldn't wait till I make a pair for your daddy?!" Robin asked Mila with a raised eyebrow

" I only wanted my father to know how much it is useful first, you can't just ask him to pay 100K gold coins for something that he doesn't understand, is it my fault that I advertise your rings for you?! humph!!" Mila replied and looked away, seemed angry

Billy burst out laughing, "Haha truth be told, Mila had a hand in the matter but not entirely, Patriarch Brian and I also agreed so that we could ask for resources and aid easily, actually a lot of the resources you wanted we got them from the Bradleys

the other reason is of course that your fiancée communicates with her father easily as well to make her feel at home.."

Robin raised his shoulder, "... you didn't get money from Galan for that ring, did you? tsk~ never mind, I gave you the rings and you can use them as you like, go on now.. you have a long journey ahead of you."

Billy nodded with a chuckle and then disappeared from the room.

Mila finally found the right moment to bring up the topic and didn't hesitate, she directly spoke, "Robin, for those tablets..."

"Forget it, I won't sell you anything for the time being!" Robin shook his head hard and went to get the three tablets, and started moving towards the door

Mila didn't lose hope and ran after him, "So what about later? you have already given me your word about the sound rings, promise me about the tablets too, please! my father can pay so much for you for one of those."

Robin stopped on his way, and after a few moments he looked at Zara, "Go ahead and tell your uncles to gather for me people of the innate high soul power and send them to the conference hall, I'll be waiting there."

"Okay!" Zara nodded and left quickly

As for Robin, he sat down and looked at Mila up and down with a sly smile after they were alone

Mila immediately felt a shiver running through her body when she saw this look, "Wh-what do you want?"

"You already refused to sleep with me so I wouldn't ask again, how about that, Let me play with your breasts for a little and I will sell you one of the three tablets in my hand." Robin's smile turned into an innocent one and two bright eyes

"Ahh..!" Mila covered her chest right after hearing his words, quickly took a few steps towards him, and slapped Robin at the side of his head.

Mila controlled her strength to not hurt him badly, but nonetheless, the blow was strong enough to knock a weak knight out!

With that, Robin rubbed the place of the beating, laughing, "I'll take that as a *no* .. but GOD! you should start wearing more unrevealing dresses, have a little mercy!!" Then he started moving again towards the door.

Mila also followed him closely again after a few seconds, but silently this time... she knew she can't beat him at his game.

Two minutes later, the two of them arrived at the conference hall inside the administrative area, every big discussion that might change the course of the family would only take place here, it's a classified almost sacred place that only the patriarch can arrange for its meetings, but still, Robin decided to use it in a whim and just walked right to it.

Robin greeted the guards with a smile and entered directly without anyone trying to stop him.

The hall was completely empty, with only a large oval table in the middle, Robin quietly walked over and sat on the chair at the head of the table.

Mila also brought a chair and sat right next to him at the head of the table which made Robin laugh out loud...

Within a few minutes, people of different ages began to arrive at the conference chamber one by one.

Everyone who entered saw Robin and the beautiful lady sitting next to him quietly. and they all thought that they are like him and were summoned here but they arrived before him.

Some of them, after arriving, found a chair for themselves and simply sat down, some of them decided to stand on the side closing their eyes, some of the more social ones started little chats here and there...

and some of them even wanted to remove Robin from the main seat and sit in his place, but Mila's oppressive force made the words stuck in their throats

Within an hour, the total number of attendees reached 54 people, some of them were young men who had not yet reached the knighthood, and some of them were old knights that seemed they would die there and then...

In fact, this was their first gathering, they all came because of the announcements, But when they arrived and found out that there is nothing to do, they just sat in their assigned houses...

and day after day they began to deal with those around them as new citizens in the city of Jura.

The wages, information, and their other needs were delivered directly between them and the Burton family, so there was no real official socializing between the candidates unless it was by chance, until today...

After another half hour, two more people arrived, and with them a strong knight, he nodded at Robin with a smile and said, " 56 candidates, They are all here now as you asked Robin, I will be out of the hall conference hall , in case you need me just call my name."

Then he went out and closed the door behind him, leaving the hall surrounded by a stifling atmosphere...

Everyone was looking at Robin strangely!

Of course, they have all heard of the name Robin, who is held in high esteem by the people of this city for some reason, the puppet that Lady Mila Bradley chose to control the Burton family through, but it was the first time they saw him.

But even if he has a high standing.. what gave him the right to gather them and sit at the head of the table in such a way? they were all geneses and knights and he is a freaking puppet!

Is the Patriarch of this family looking down at them to such a degree?

..Furthermore, if this is Robin, then that strong woman sitting next to him is...?

"Lady Mila...?!" A young man couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked

Mila did not reply with words but nodded... and this gesture was enough to turn the atmosphere of the hall once more.

Respect, fear, anticipation.. a lot of questions ran amok in their heads about the reason for Mila's invitation to them, and the reason for the insolence of the Robin who sits next to her as if he really was her fiancé!

The looks of contempt were very blatant, then the looks of hate soon followed...

Robin chuckled after this scene and looked at Mila, " Do you see what your presence has done? I wanted a nice discussion with them and they are already judging me before I even speak! What brought you after me anyway?!"

One of the knights was about to jump on Robin to strangle him upon hearing this, and some of the old people smiled as if they could already see Mila slapping him,

but he soon heard a soft voice, "I can't hold myself, you have been away for months this time, my dear, let me stick with you for a while longer before you go back to your work and forget about me again!"

Mila's words fell on the heads of those present like a thunderbolt.

The message did not reach them all in the same way... There are those who think she is acting and there are those who think that she is playing a game... but it definitely made them all think more, and even if she was joking, this made them respect Robin a little more as the man who jokes with such a woman!

Robin smiled when he saw this, these are the faces he wanted to see from the start, which is also why he let Mila come with him in such a private and important matter...

Sometimes borrowing some influence doesn't hurt~

And he really wanted to give her thumbs up, even though they didn't agree to do this she spoke along with him and didn't fall back, at least her intelligence isn't falling far behind her looks...

Robin chucked at her reply and shook his head, then turned to face the 56 men and women who were staring at him, and at this moment he finally directed his speech at them for the first time, as he said, "Gentlemen, please take a seat at the table... We have a long day ahead of us."
