Sander was sitting in the main hall of the Ryan family’s castle. He was drinking tea and reading newspapers. There were seven or eight maids serving in the main hall. If Dudian was here he would find that the Ryan Castle used to be simple and crude, now it had become luxurious. The Maids and knights in the castle were no longer pitiful. There were dozens of maids in the corridors.
There were more than 200 to 300 knights patrolling outside the manor. This was a status symbol for the nobles, which was as important as money!
These knights were the legitimate private military force of the nobles. The number of knights often determined the strength of a noble.
While hiring these knights, the town where the Ryan family lived was also different from the past. Four or five farms and pastures were developed in the mountainous area outside the town, which were managed by the Ryan family, the food produced was enough to feed all the knights, their retinues and servants in the castle.
