Chapter 136: A False Premise
The lamplight swayed, rising and falling within the frame of the window.
Automatically filtering out the cheerful sounds of the woman, the soldiers outside the camp not far away swiftly completed their shift change. They gripped their spears tightly, straightened their appearance, and with proud expressions, cast their steady gazes into the distance.
Not just anyone was qualified to stand guard for His Grace.
In order to fight for this quota, they had beaten each other up for several days under the pretext of training. Any underhanded tricks they had were used again and again on their dear comrades-in-arms.

Therefore, those who could stand here now were men among men, males among males.
Inside the tent, Oswald Charles stretched. The plan for the Northern Territory’s animal husbandry development had already been submitted. The most important part of a year lay in spring, and there were still many problems that needed to be solved, especially the issue of the fiscal budget.

Jacob’s plan leaned conservative. According to his proposal, as long as no mistakes were made, it would take at least three years before animal husbandry in the Northern Territory could be fully rolled out and enter every household.
But Oswald Charles did not want to wait. The advantage of concentrating strength to accomplish major undertakings was that, for the sake of future development, he could invest a massive amount of capital regardless of cost.
In the short term, the total population of the Northern Territory would not change too drastically again.
To be honest, Oswald Charles had already been doing everything he could to plunder population. If he continued stealing people, Frank would most likely fall out with him.

Since quantity could no longer be increased, Oswald Charles could only begin working on quality next.
From time to time, he would fantasize about it. Forget nine years of compulsory education; even if half of the Northern Territory’s citizens had graduated from elementary school, he could immediately twist off the Demon King’s head and kick it around like a ball.
The saying that knowledge was power was no empty phrase. If all of his soldiers and logistics personnel could read and write, and if all of them understood calculation, then the combat strength of this army would be extraordinary.
Once war began, Oswald Charles at least dared to pat his chest and guarantee that, with the high efficiency brought by high organizational capacity, the Northern Army’s marching speed would always stay ahead of the enemy army’s.

He rubbed his face hard. The fantasy was beautiful, but reality was that Oswald Charles was still worrying over whether the people of his territory could eat a few more mouthfuls of meat.
It was difficult. The more difficult he found it, the more Oswald Charles admired those predecessors. Yet he himself felt as though even copying homework step by step was arduous...

It rather felt like returning to his school days, when the teacher repeatedly emphasized that this problem had already been explained countless times, yet his own mind still only half understood it.
Carrying freshly brewed tea, Janice entered the tent and saw Oswald Charles staring into space with his pipe between his lips. The tabletop was fully covered with processed documents.
His Grace truly works hard every day, Janice sighed inwardly as she walked forward, only to suddenly freeze in place.
No. The thickness of the documents on the table was wrong.
Sure enough, the sudden neigh of a warhorse braking sharply came from outside the tent, followed immediately by the soldiers’ unified salute as they shook their armor into order.
Eileen lifted the tent curtain and fell silent as her eyes met Janice’s.

Her gaze slowly moved downward. After noticing the steaming, fragrant teacup in Janice’s hand, Eileen laughed softly.
“How can the noble Saintess do this kind of thing? You should put it down and let me handle it. As a personal maid, this is what I ought to do.”
Janice inhaled deeply. Suppressed fury made the corner of her eye twitch, but she maintained her smile and said, “We have been apart for months, and this is the first thing you say to me when we meet?”
Eileen curled the corners of her lips and slowly stepped forward. “What I mean is, work should still be divided between what falls within one’s duties and what does not.”
“It is only brewing a cup of tea for the Duke. Is this not because someone’s possessiveness is too strong? Oh, right. How did that inequality of yours go? It was...”
Before she finished speaking, Eileen immediately stepped forward and covered Janice’s mouth from behind. Janice was startled, and the teacup in her hand slipped free, only to be caught steadily by Oswald Charles, who had come back to his senses.
E num̈ а́_. і̃ d̊
Looking at the two of them, whose movements were intimate and whose expressions were somewhat flustered, Oswald Charles was stunned.
Just how many kinds of feelings could a friendship among three people extend into?

He slowly turned around, lifted the teacup, and took a sip. Trying his best not to look at the two who were pressed tightly together, he feigned composure and said, “Um, forgive me for asking, but what are you two... doing right now?”
The languid sounds from not far away drifted over faintly. Both of their faces flushed slightly. Eileen released her hand and used the opportunity to take out a bottle of potion.
“My lord, this is a fertility potion developed by the alchemists. Perhaps it will help your plan.”
“Mm. You have worked hard.”

Oswald Charles put down the teacup, accepted the potion, and pretended to inspect it seriously, changing the subject just as stiffly.
“Are you hungry? Would you like some roasted meat?”
...
What sort of winding life must one experience to write such a melancholy verse as “No longer like those youthful travels”?

Thinking back to the previous life, the first time the three of them drank wine and ate roast lamb after meeting each other, how spirited and vigorous they had been. They had regretted not meeting sooner, and everything they discussed was life ideals, family, and national ambition.
They had practically wanted to swear brotherhood on the spot, to treat one another with utter sincerity in this life and follow one another through life and death.

Yet in this life, the three of them were like people writing a thesis, repeatedly discussing: On the Influence of Frequency of Use on Infertility and the Feasibility Study of an Incarnation of the Curse Becoming Pregnant.
“Overindulgence in youth is not a good thing. His Grace should take warning from this as well.”
As Janice spoke, she raised her cup. The three of them clinked cups around the fire. Only when the bitter wine slid down his throat did Oswald Charles react.
No, what exactly am I supposed to take warning from?
“I read that intelligence report. Given Thorne’s lustful nature, he changed so many women over the past nearly ten years, yet he still did not obtain a single child.”
Eileen swirled her wine cup and laughed despite herself. “Does this still need proof? Clearly, he himself has a problem.”

“If you ask me, if it does not work, just replace him with a few other people. I think in our military camp...”
Seeing the conversation charging straight down the road toward NTR, Oswald Charles, who had played countless games, hurriedly called for a halt. “Wait, wait.”
“That is not how the controlled variable method is used. First, Lilith has merely become docile. She has not lost the power to control the divine authority of death. Second, judging from my experience, I fear that only the Hero can achieve the result we want.”
Saying it aloud gave him a bit of a headache. If Eileen’s personality of never giving up until she achieved her goal were placed in another story, she would at minimum be a heavyweight villain.
The three of them continued roasting meat and drinking wine. Eileen rose to pour wine for Janice and Oswald Charles, then continued speaking.
“My lord, please forgive my rudeness. I believe the inference that making the incarnation of death pregnant will break the curse is itself a false premise.”
Е́n̄ u.m̂ а̇.іḋ
Hearing this, Janice shook her head. Back then, she had been the first person to agree to the Hero’s proposal.
Under circumstances where Duke Oswald Charles had completely crushed Lilith in combat power, he had not immediately used devouring to resolve the curse. From that moment, Janice had inferred that His Grace must have his own concerns.

Moreover, during this period, she had also received quite a lot of new intelligence. Aside from the matter of transmigration, Oswald Charles had told her almost everything he knew.
And the exceptionally perceptive Janice very quickly noticed the key to every problem—
The soul.
