Reincarnated as the fourth son of a noble and tamed an SS-rank dragon-Chapter 26: Baronet Ais Bali

Darius didn’t understand the question, the man repeated it and he didn’t react. After a few seconds of thinking, he came up with an appropriate response, which was different from before, since he now knew how to dance and people had seen him dancing.

"I apologize if I have offended you in any way," he said with a slight bow. "I’m only the fourth son, I won’t inherit the title or the lands. It wouldn’t be appropriate for your daughter to dance with someone like me, who at heart is not so different from a commoner."

"Title isn’t everything, the Duke liked you, so it’s only natural that people want to get close to you, even if you don’t have a title or anything. Don’t worry about it."

Kaly appeared.

"I need you, we’ve been summoned to a meeting with the Duke."

Darius said goodbye to the man and he followed Kaly.

"I’ve read your letter, I’m not sure how to answer this," he said, holding up the letter that was in the gift box.

"It’s simple, we want to take out a loan so that you can get the nobles more excited and they can at least pay for the military force used."

"Sit down. How do you intend to do this?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"We can pay."

"Don’t get me wrong, but Lucian is an almost bankrupt man, I think it’s unlikely that he’ll be able to pay for even his own troops."

"I’m not using his money, I’m a very rich Countess. I could pay for it myself, but I’m not the one who’s going to do it, it’s Darius."

"Darius?"

"Me, I’ll pay an amount and consider it a loan. But without interest and I don’t want money as payment. Of course, I’ll only charge you in the future, in the slightly distant future and only if you win."

The Duke couldn’t believe his ears. Darius followed Kaly’s advice, he should take charge of the negotiation and he knew that the Duke wouldn’t believe him, so he had to keep calm and carry on.

"I don’t know if a Countess could help in this situation, let alone a boy who’s barely nine years old."

Darius reached into his coin purse and took out two platinum coins and placed them on the coffee table. The Duke began to pay attention.

Each platinum coin is equivalent to 200 gold coins, these coins are more restricted and only very rich people use them.

"It’s still a very low value."

"I know, I’m thinking of at least 500 of these coins, that would reduce the number of undecided people."

"What do you want in return?" He didn’t wait for an answer. "Of course, if you have the money."

"I’m still a child, so I don’t have anything definite, so I need you to wait until I get older and ask for something in return."

"All right, show me the money then," he didn’t believe Darius.

Darius took out several platinum coins, he withdrew 600, and then counted out the excess amount.

"These two coins from before can stay as a token of friendship from me."

The Duke didn’t react, even he didn’t have that much money available.

"How did you get so much money?"

"I’m not going to inherit the land or the title, so from an early age, I had to think of a way to earn it. I’m an adventurer and a merchant, and I got the money from that."

"Adventurer and merchant?"

"Yes, just that."

The Duke knew that wasn’t it, but he didn’t say anything, he just accepted and signed the agreement.

As Kaly left the room, he asked if any of the nobles had anything to do with selling timber.

"Baronet Ais Bali, he can get the wood."

"Could you ask him to come to the mansion tomorrow?"

"I can."

Kaly thought about it, Baronets are mostly penniless. So they give little support in a war, but they are still an important support.

Of all the titles, Baronet is the lowest, even if it is above knight, because knights are usually in the King’s service and the money they receive is greater than what Baronets get. Even so, Kaly wanted Darius to get at least this title, as nobility guarantees a higher success rate, even if it is the lowest of all.

The party was almost over, Amanda was already tired, she hadn’t wanted to come, she realized that Lucian was the only one who took his second wife, this made her feel a little out of place in the environment, however much it was just something in her head, nobody really cared about it.

After a while the carriage arrived, they got in and some of the nobles stared at them. Amanda thought they were staring at her, but in fact they were staring at Darius and Kaly.

At the mansion Orphelia and Julian just went to sleep, Amanda went to the shower room, there she was naked and her fingers were in her vagina, she stroked in circular movements. Darius and Kaly entered the room, they saw Amanda stroking herself, but didn’t say anything, when she realized they were in the room she stopped and approached Darius, she squeezed his cheeks.

"You were so amazing in the fight, a bit rough, but you were amazing."

"I’m glad you think so," he said with a smile. Her fingers were wet and he could smell them because of her sense of smell, but he didn’t mind, he liked the smell, not like he liked the smell of his mother in the morning.

"I’ll give you a bath," Amanda said as she began to scrub Darius’ back, Kaly didn’t mind, she was tired and just wanted to finish the bath and go to sleep.

When they had finished showering Amanda said she would sleep with him too, Darius didn’t mind and said he was fine.

Amanda came into the bedroom in a short nightgown, so short that you could see she had no panties on. She lay down on her right side and Kaly on her left. Amanda saw that Kaly was barely wearing any clothes, just a pair of small panties, so she took them off and stood naked next to Darius.

Kaly did the same.

When she woke up, Darius was squeezing Amanda’s breasts, he was squeezing and making some movements on her nipple. She was awake and didn’t say anything when he realized what he was doing. Kaly was just watching, she was already awake.

They ate breakfast and waited for Nyme and the others, who arrived with several wooden boxes. Some people were with them, they were carrying the boxes, of which there were many.

Kaly took the boxes near the kitchen and with their help filled them with potions. After a few minutes, the adventurers arrived and they escorted them to the Guild.

While they waited for them to return, Darius kept creating more potion bottles, making them as fast as he could, until he reached the limit of his mana. Kaly noticed that he was able to use the coin purse more quickly, which was good. But he still needed to train his body and his use of magic, so she asked him to use the ring and then they flew to the village, where they went to Bel and asked about the crops.

"We harvested all the roots and managed to plow all the land that was asked for. Labor isn’t a problem."

"That’s good," Kaly said as she walked, stopped, used water magic, and then made more plants grow. When she had finished, some workers started harvesting.

"What we harvested earlier is here," she started walking to a storage room.

Kaly put all the roots into her bag of items.

"Thank you very much, I want the list with the names, payment will be made tomorrow.

Bel handed over a list, Kaly put it away, and went to the carpenter, who was cutting wood and making more boxes.

"Can you really manage?"

"Yes, we can do them all. The only problem is the wood, our stock is low, so we’ll have to cut more and that might delay things a bit."

"Don’t worry about it, I’ve worked it out and I’ll buy the wood, I thought it would happen one day."

"But isn’t that our job?"

"Don’t worry about it, I won’t deduct it from the amount paid either, I just want everything to go smoothly."

She left and they returned to the mansion, she watched the masons working on the factory, they were fast, but it would still take at least a few months for it to be completed.

Kaly began to prepare some potions, she was making them faster, but she was interrupted by the butler Victor, the Baronet was in the room waiting for her.

The man who had spoken to Darius at the party was the Baronet the Duke had mentioned, he was sitting on the sofa, he was tall and thin and what was striking about him was his big hair.

"I’m Baronet Ais Bali, it’s a pleasure to meet you," he said as he stood up.

"I’m Kalynrae, but you can call me Kaly," she said holding out her hand, which was kissed by the Baronet.

"You’re Viscount Lestor’s son, aren’t you?"

"I apologize, I’m Darius Lestor and it’s a pleasure to meet you," he said in reference.

"No problem, the only problem was that I didn’t dance with my daughter, but that’s fine. Let’s forget about it."

Darius realized that he took this as an insult, but ignored it.
