Chapter 2 Thorny Swamp

"As saintess, you should be reserved."

After leaving the truth square, Sherman took a carriage back to the marquis mansion. When he was about to start his happiest time every day, the doorman came and reported that princess Sinard had come!

He had no choice but to close the account book and walk out of the study.

He came to the pavilion in the courtyard and waited for Sinard.

In the distance, a beautiful figure passed through the white jade door lifted the hemline of her dress with both hands, and strode into the courtyard.

The servant beside her hurriedly protected her.

They were afraid that Sinard would fall.

"Marquis Sherman!"

She ran and jumped into Sherman's arms.

Sherman dodged and threw Sinard herself into Dolores's arms.

"Marquis Sherman, do you really hate me so much?"

Tears welled up in her eyes.

"As saintess, you should be reserved."

With a straight face, Sherman sat on a stool and enjoyed Dolores feeding fruits and shaking the fan.

"Reserved..." Sinard curled her lips and said in an aggrieved tone, "I grew up in the underworld. I don't know what the reserve of noble girls is. I only know that when I see the one I love, I should rush over to hug him."

Sherman couldn't help but look up at her.

"Okay."

He replied coldly.

Sure enough, Sinard's eyes turned red again.

Sherman sighed.

Although Sinard acted like a docile sheep in front of him.

In fact, she had always been a person of her word. She just pretended in front of Sherman. In private, every officer would shake his head when he saw her.

Because she was the only saintess designated by the true God, they reluctantly accepted her.

"Marquis Sherman, your fief..."

Kess rushed over with a scroll in his hand. When he was about to hand it to Sherman, he saw Sinard sitting on the stool.

"Saintess"

He exclaimed and immediately put the scroll at his feet. He crossed his hands and muttered, "The light of the true God shone on all the believers in the world..."

Sherman sighed.

It was because the believer had to salute saintess as soon as he saw her.

Therefore, the people who served as Kess in his marquis mansion were all pariahs without belief, except Kess in front of him!

After cursing, he picked up the scroll and handed it to Sherman.

"Marquis Sherman is awarded a fief the thorny swamp..."

"No wonder it was called barren land in the beginning. How could it not be barren after taking the sealing land of the thorn marsh?"

With a sneer, she threw the scroll to Sherman, who was standing behind him and asked her to keep it.

Seeing that Sherman underestimated the emperor's will, a trace of displeasure appeared on his face. But considering Sherman's identity, he didn't say anything. He just stared at him.

"Marquis Sherman, I'm looking forward to my married life."

Sinard lowered her chin, with shyness in her eyes.

"Oh, you can leave now. I have to go to the palace."

Sherman raised his head and was about to leave.

He would like to see what tricks they were playing!

The thorny swamp was a place where people lived?

Eighty percent of the land was covered with swamps, and the rest of the land had to be inhabited and cultivated. The public had already suffered a lot.

However, it was restricted by the land law and couldn't be moved.

None of the leaders who had obtained the fief was willing to get the thorny swamp.

But now, they threw it to Sherman?

How could they ask Sherman to pay one million gold coins to solve the financial crisis of the royal family with such a service attitude?

Do you really think you can trade saintess for it!

No matter how powerful saintess was, she was a woman of flesh and blood, not made of gold. Sherman was not stupid, so he had to settle accounts with them!

"Are you going to the imperial palace to discuss the wedding day? How about we go there together?"

Sinard stood up and was about to leave with Sherman.

"Get married?"

All of a sudden, Sherman sneered and turned to look at Sinard. "Where I go is the thorny swamp, which is extremely poor. The annual tax revenue is the lowest. Do you want to go with me?"

"There's no such thing as the wealth of the city. There's only stinky mud there!"

Sinard was forced to step back by his words.

"So what? As long as I can be with you, I will go to even the devil forest!"

She grabbed Sherman's arm and said sadly, "I love you, marquis Sherman. No matter how poor you are, I'm willing to do it!"

"Saintess! How could you say such ridiculous words? It's the honor of every believer to be loved by you!"

Before Sherman could say anything, Kess was the first one to get anxious.

"I really underestimated your love brain. Let go of me!"

Sherman pulled his arm back and ran away as fast as he could.

Sinard stood there alone, feeling sad.

"Why is she crazy?"

Sitting in the carriage into the palace, Sherman had already changed his clothes and complained in a low voice.

He recalled that when he first met Sinard, she was still the arrogant saintess, just because he had obeyed the Royal etiquette and invited her to dance together.

Sinard was going crazy to marry him.

No matter how others persuaded her, she wouldn't listen to them.

This made traversal Sherman not only unhappy but also scared.

He didn't like the government of the divine-continent at all!

Let alone marry Sinard!

"Even if you want to get married, you have to be free to fall in love. She forced me to agree to get married to her by force of death. Now it's difficult for me to get rid of her." Sherman frowned and said, "If I hadn't got the fief and got the leader's system, I would have collapsed!"

When he arrived at the Imperial Palace, Sherman handed over the token and asked the guards to let them in.

"Marquis Sherman, I'm sorry. The king has ordered us to tell you when we see you. If you come for the matter of the thorn swamp, you can go back now."

"At present, only the thorny swamp can be allocated freely. If you don't want it, you can only stay in the city and wait for the next territory."

After saying that, the guard knelt on one knee, maintaining a posture of salute to Sherman.

"Warning, if host loses its territory, the leader system will be withdrawn until the next time it opens!"

All of a sudden, there was a mechanical sound in his mind, which made his face change.

"Wow, you are just a system. How dare you scheme against me with the king! Is the thorn swamp a place where people live?"

"Warning, I've detected that host harbored too much resentment, and the leader system will be kept at discretion. If the host is unwilling to obtain the leader system, the countdown will be closed. 10, 9, 8..."

"I'll go!"

Sherman gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
