Lin Cian had some crazy thoughts after discovering that the blacksmith shop is now developed and backed by a small size noble family. However, the status of the low-level noble family will be raised sooner because of the tie between them and the blacksmith shop if the blacksmith shop is raised in status so Lin Cian thought of a plan which would profit both him and the others of the blacksmith family and the small size noble family.
Now the blacksmith shop was managed by Carbiel the son of the master blacksmith Arzieal and the heir of the small size noble family Dhamini family, Chiro Dhamini the wife of Carbiel, and the daughter in law of the latter.
So to speak out his deal, Lin Cian has to seek out them but much to his surprise the heir of the Dhamini family, Chiro Dhamini was in love with Carbiel, and also she acts according to the interest of her husband as well as her family.
Lin Cian stared at her for a moment which made her uncomfortable. Both she and her husband know that Lin Cian cannot be offended but to her surprise, her husband broke the silence.
"Respected sir, is something wrong with her?" he was very furious but he forcefully calmed himself.
Lin Cian smiled and said four words which made them surprise "she is not noble".
The woman's eyes widened and felt like she was not ready for that. Carbiel was stupefied before Lin Cian could speak anything the woman started to speak.
"You..... you are right. I am not.... bought up as a noble. I was a bastard daughter of the patriarch of the Dhamini family..... I was a daughter of a mistress and treated worse than a servant..... Luckily Carbiel saved me from my sufferings" as she was telling about her life, her eyes watered and tears ran through her cheeks not long before her husband comfort her.
'So she will not be a burden and she is genuine but.....' Lin Cian decided to ask more questions. "Doesn't the patriarch of the Dhamini family have a rightful heir?"
"They had one but was dead by now" replied Carbiel.
Lin Cian shifted his gaze towards him as he saw him glaring at him. Lin Cian smiled at him "How did he...."
"I avenged for my wife" the hard words of Carbiel interfered with the words of Lin Cian and he continued
"If not for Chiro's ....."
"I am fine dear. After all...."
When they are busy comforting each other Lin Cian decided to check their strength. Lin Cian used the skill 'demon's gaze' only to be surprised. The heir of the Dhamini family is not something to be afraid of but the young man who is her husband emitted a terrifying aura which lead some chills towards his spine but his gaze never shifted from the couple.
The young woman in front of him once again spoke but now her voice is not as loud as before. "I was punished to serve the guards" both Lin Cian and Carbiel were shocked.
What shocked her husband was her sincerity. Lin Cian's deal is a great thing and it can help her husband's lifelong dream. She showed her sincerity in representing her husband. Her husband couldn't help but hug her but he maintained his manners in front of Lin Cian.
'It is not something a woman would say to a complete stranger. She is quite strong.' he was shocked by her sincerity but also felt sorry for her. The same fate would have happened to him if it were not for Lin Tamayo around him. He would be bullied as a pathetic dog.
As soon as he heard the woman's reason Lin Cian understood everything but he showed nothing in his expression. He gazed at the roof for a few seconds and then looked for something around him to find the glass near him filled with wine. He took the cup and slipped little wine through his mouth as if he heard nothing.
He knew it is common in a noble family to be punished in this kind of heartless way. If the maids were favored by the members of the family and if caught in some activities that displease the family she would be sold out to the brothel that is very far away from where she lives or to the physicopaths who will let her live in hell or even there are some records of women being tied to a certain device which is made of wood in which the specially trained wild animals would convey their furry act with her till death or will be forced to serve whoever the men on the sight until she was dead.
If it were men, they were fed to dogs, burned at a stake in public, boiled at a big basin filled with oil or water, they could be sawed in half, their organs could be removed, sometimes skinned alive and there are some records in which they were deported to the islands or countries in which demons live which led the demons to have the pleasure of meat of humans which made people to scared of offending the nobles.
In Chiro's case, she was sharp and intelligent. She was self-taught to read and write. She was a knowledgeable person which lead the heir of the family to get jealous of her and that led to her getting punished by him. When she was punished with the unreasonable act she ran from the home only to be chased by them. Because of their noble status, the chasers had no people would bother them. But fortunately, Carbiel was passing by. On that day Carbiel protected her after knowing the punishment.
The heir of the Dhamini family was dead when consuming a huge number of pills to equalize his strength to that of Carbiel eventually leading Chiro to become the heir because the sick patriarch was in his death bed and didn't want his family to decline. So he announced Chiro as the heir to become a patriarch.
Carbiel expected nothing from her and asked her to live a good life before he left which made Chiro fall in love with him. She proposed to Carbiel that she loved him and married him because he felt the same way towards her. She gained the approval to be the patriarch of the Dhamini family from all the members because of her good skills in business which helped both the Dhamini family and the blacksmith shop.
Noble children were well known for their arrogance, boasting, and will try to exploit others but she was quite the opposite. Since Lin Cian was a noble himself who is well aware of their behavior it didn't take much time for him to uncover her identity.
Lin Cian has good knowledge about noble families. They will be having territories according to their strength. They were categorized as small, medium, and large size noble families.
The small size noble families were families which are normally more powerful and stable than the commoners. Mostly only the parent and children with little members would be expected.
The medium-sized families were the families which are bigger than that of small size noble families. They have inner and outer circles in which the inner circle only allowed the direct descendants of the family as well as the strongest and the loyal members from outside. The outer circle contains the newcomers, recruits, and guards.
The large-sized noble family is quite large. The difference between them and a medium family will be huge. They had different circles which worked based on the medium-sized family would have. But they also had branch families which would be placed in a different area and would have the size of a medium or a small size noble family.
They also would dominate over the small and medium families in their territories and dominate them to be their underlings.
As soon as Lin Cian sorted everything in his mind he said the word "deal".
The punishments in history were brutal and unreasonable. It was mentioned here to let everyone find themselves a reason to be thankful for their life.
