System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1155: Security "Madam."

Leysha raised her head. "Silvester? What's wrong? Is there a problem with our progress?"

"The young master would like to see you and Raven."

"Mhmm? Me aside, Raven? Why would he want to see Raven?" Leysha frowned.

All of a sudden, Luke's voice echoed from the side. "That's probably because he wants to expand the territory. If I'm not wrong, he was granted demon territory when they promoted him to the rank of Marquis."

"Expansion?" Leysha tilted her head in confusion. "I still don't understand why he would need Raven for expansion. Isn't Howard the best one to do it? I mean, he will train a lot of soldiers."

"No. Once your territory is big enough, you need three divisions. The first is the normal army to stop other nobles or other external threats. The second one is the information division, which takes care of all the espionage work. The last one is the internal division that will take care of the security and stability of the territory."

"Mhmm? Did we have something like that in the past?"

"No. Our territory wasn't big enough to require the third division. The army was enough to do all the work, and Raven was the one behind all the arrangements."

"So he wanted to see Raven for his advice?"

"Probably."

"I see. I'll go with Raven then."

…

It didn't take too long for them to actually meet. Considering Noel and Anna's current strength, it wasn't that hard for them to find them as long as they knew their general location.

When Leysha arrived, she noticed that there was another person aside from Noel and Anna. She thought it would be a family meeting, but that didn't seem to be the case.

There was an awkward atmosphere because they hadn't met for a while. She hurriedly started a conversation, following up on the last thing they talked about. "Congratulations for your marriage."

Noel nodded with a calm expression. "I miss you, Mom."

Leysha's expression melted. She walked to Noel for a hug. "I miss you too…"
