After a strange nights rest in this shabby home of ours I couldn't wait to find a suitable spot to build are new home so I got dressed after a quick wash up and since I was the new duke I had crazy amount of money surprisingly this duke was very wealthy more than people thought probably to support his daughter.
Anyway I looked around for a few hours even in some nearby forests and lake areas I finally settled on a nice spot on hill top with a little pond over looking the city but still good enough to hide the manor with its tall sturdy tres and had a little sunlight coming in so after.
This spot I went back to the bar to find tom but before I even could enter the bar a man came falling out the window from a kick from Tom then jumped out the window with an axe in his hand ready to take the man's life.
But Tom tosses the axe just close enough to the side of his head to scare the man before fully falling within a knee into the man's face and gets up and spits on him and says you're just like your wife a bitch.
Now that it was morning I could see him better he had a Irish looking face if you asked me an buzzed cut head that kinda looks bald and stubble beard and he had a tattoo on his neck couldn't make out looked like a fist holding a hammer.
He grabs his hat that looks like a news boy hat then spots me I say a friend of yours he laughs hardly but I'm glad to see so I take it you still want the place built yea you have a spot oh I turn and point to the hill top oh cravansa hill nice spot you pick.
Oh that's what it's called yea come let's walk and talk on are way there ok so why does the new duke not live in the city manor oh that I didn't like the place to exposed to and to easy to reach and areas to be attacked.
I guess when you put it like that then it sucks balls he says while laughing he has an accent I don't know what though so like a Britain or maybe something around there.
I was thinking I want an training room installed in there like in the cellar area you see hmm ok I can do ohh what's the strongest material you can use s rank hmm ok but what if I need it repaired I can do it for a fee ok I need I think five may… scratch that give me seven rooms so in my room I'll need it on the ground floor with a view outside and a hot spring got it and all the other bed rooms up stairs make them a decent size.
I'll need a need something advanced ill show you what I've drawn this oh ok we had but we drilled some holes in the bottom of a bucket and just let the water fall on us I'll need one up stairs and down stairs I'll need a room to greet guest and I want it on the west side of the manor.
I'll need an office up stairs and a drawing room down stairs a dining room with a beautiful black glass chandelier a table that could fit 8 chairs six on the sides one on each end a stained glass window that is opposite the doors.
An library that's grandiose and beautiful with a giant circle window shining sun unto the beautiful marble circular floor an vault that I'll need hidden oh and a smithy's you can build that any where and an armory oh and an outside training grounds in the back hmmm with all that's been said I can get it done but I'll need to grab some people no problem.
Ohh we're here hmm Tom looks around for about ten minutes yup ehmm yup yup perfect ok with everything you needed and said and with my skills and people and strengths; g. 7 months and 300 gold you get a discount I would've charged 1500 for a manor this precise but since you're the duke and even though you didn't have to pay you still decided to so I gave you a great discount.
Ok thanks here is the gold perfect l ill go and get my tools and materials and my group of men sounds good if you need to relay a message to me just go to the blacksmith shop in the deep end there should be some on if not I'll find you.
I should see elly today about 30 minutes later I enter the shop elly you hear hmm maybe she's in the back elly ohh hii ummm what this is embarrassing I realized I never got your name yea a lot of people don't have my name it's malt lo but you can call me lo.
Ohh lo hmm anyway what brings you by I toss the plaque to her what you think I'm the new duke told I'd do it she looks at it surprised for a moment and says ok do what do you want well I'm building a manor and I wanted to know would you come to live there like I asked before I need my duchess she blushes your serious yes I'm having a smithy built you can oversee it you know make sure it's tight everything is perfect you know hmm ughhhh she hits her head on the table umm you ok yeah she leans in front of me grabs my face and kisses me and says I already told it didn't matter and that I'd be with you wherever so in other words ill do it.
Yes perfect you can also tell them how you want your room wait so as the duchess wouldn't I sleep with you hmm yea but everyone needs there own space you know oh yeah I almost forgot I'll be sending people here if they are looking for me and it will probably boost your business and reputation ohh I do got to get rid of that cheap ass black smith shop ill do some investigating.
