Chapter 353 - 353 352 Marcus Asks for a Smoke (Part 2)
?Chapter 353: Chapter 352: Marcus Asks for a Smoke (Part 2) Chapter 353: Chapter 352: Marcus Asks for a Smoke (Part 2) Marcus was very troubled.
So, he immediately went to seek his wife, Shafali, who had just returned from playing cards at Fluorescent Castle, “Please go to Lady Meryl as soon as possible, and ask her for help to see if she can get five hundred boxes of cigars from the Cigar Factory in advance.”
“How could that be possible? I know something about the current situation of the Cigar Factory. They can’t even spare ten boxes, let alone five hundred. The orders from the Rainflower Family have been delayed again and again. Just yesterday, the daughter-in-law of Lord Sally was complaining that even her father-in-law had to queue up for his order.”
“What should I do now!”
“What’s wrong, Marcus? Who asked you to buy the RainDragon cigars? You can’t agree to that. The profits from the cigars are pouring in like a torrent of gold, and they have become the moneybag for the Fluorescent Fungi Family, and even more so, the guarantee for Lord Russell’s development of Blackflame Plains. We really shouldn’t…”
“It’s too late,” Marcus said with a stern face and sighed, “I have already promised Minor and the others to guarantee a hundred boxes each for them.”
“How could you be so foolish!” Mrs. Shafali chided, “Marcus, you are usually so steady; how could you today…”
“I don’t know why,” Marcus said silently.
In fact, he was well aware why he was playing the big shot; it was merely to fight for his own pride.
Once upon a time, he also had the opportunity to choose whether to pledge allegiance to Baron Romand or to Red Castle, and in the end, he chose to stay in Glowing Valley. As a 2nd rank high-ranking Mythical Beast Knight, he could certainly be considered among the finest within the Knight hierarchy of the Grand Duchy.
But the status of an ordinary Lord always made him feel lesser than the Lords of the Duchy.
Especially in the past few years, when the Fluorescent Fungi Family had no one who could ride a dragon, not only was Baron Romand ridiculed, but followers like Marcus also lost face.
