It is normal for Lorne to be short of food, but it is not unusual for the Baker family to want to transport food from the interior of the empire.
From Arthur's words, it seemed that the other party also planned to prevent him from obtaining food from the interior of the empire.
He didn't know if Arthur's uncle, Keshim Barton, was really as easy to talk to as Arthur said, but Arthur was right to be worried about one thing.
When they followed Arthur to the outside manor of the Stany family to look for Kesim living there, they met Steve who had just come out.
"He is Steve Baker."
He whispered to Lorne, and Arthur immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.
As a man who would also become his sister's husband, Arthur could not ignore Steve in front of others.
This was a basic quality of a nobleman.
So even if he has no friendship with Steve, he still has to fulfill the responsibilities of a brother-in-law.
After Steve marries Wendy, he will be Arthur's brother-in-law, while Lorne, who is engaged to Rebecca, can only be his brother-in-law.
The two young men were about to become brothers-in-law, but there was no warmth in the way relatives looked at each other.
Steve didn't like Lorne, and Lorne also hated this Baker family member who suddenly appeared to cause trouble.
It was just painful that Arthur, who knew that the two of them could not deal with each other, had to bite the bullet and introduce them to them, but before he could introduce Lorne to Steve, Steve came over in a familiar manner.
"You are Baron Fast, right?
In the north today, apart from the Grand Duke's expedition, I think you may be the biggest attraction.
From an illegitimate child with nothing to your current height, the Baron must be very proud.
In our circle, this is what everyone talks about the most. " He was yin and yang from the beginning.
Faced with an illegitimate child, Steve felt that there was no need to behave like a noble.
Because nobility is reserved for the noble, and for an illegitimate son like Lorn who has civilian blood in his body, his success is an insult to many nobles.
It's a pity that Lorne didn't feel anything at all when faced with Steve's showing off.
It was because of Wendy that he still felt a little bit pathetic for the guy in front of him.
Just by looking at Steve's appearance, I knew that he couldn't be a knight.
If his physical fitness couldn't keep up, he would definitely not be able to satisfy a woman like Wendy.
It's certain that Hongxing will cheat on her, but I don't know how many hats Steve will wear after getting married.
But since he dared to provoke Lorne, the beast didn't mind ordering one for him first.
But it was not convenient to talk about this kind of thing in front of Arthur, but Lorne still didn't let Steve go.
"I'm sorry, who are you?
I have never had much communication with people without titles, so I don't know what your circle is like.
If there is nothing else, please make way for me.
I don't have time to come.
Chatting with a guy who is nothing.”
Steve was only the second son.
He missed out on the family title when he was born two years later.
This has always been an unspeakable pain for him.
Lorne brought up the title to speak to his face, which was like rubbing salt into his wounds.
If he hadn't been in the Stany family's territory, Steve would have let Lorne know the price of speaking harshly.
But at least Arthur from the Stany family was also present.
Unable to get angry, he suppressed his anger and warned Lorne: "Of course I am willing to give you a way, but are you sure you still have a way to go?
By the way, I just met Viscount Ximbaton.
I think we had a great time chatting, do you know why?”
There was no need for Lorne to ask, Steve asked and answered himself on the side: "That is the power of the circle, a circle that belongs to us.
Okay, I won't disturb the noble Baron's time.
But I think even if you go in and find Viscount Barton, you're just wasting your time.
Finally, I wish our engagement ceremony tomorrow goes smoothly. " Such an arrogant boy This is the evaluation of Steve in Lorne and Arthur's minds, but the words of the Baker family may really convince the Barton family.
But Arthur still believed in his uncle's integrity, and the facts were indeed as Arthur said.

Mingmen is a top noble who pays attention to credibility.
As long as it is something they have promised, they cannot cancel it at will.
Even though he had a pleasant chat with Steve, when he met Arthur's uncle Viscount Maxim Barton, the middle-aged uncle still expressed his willingness to help Lorne with food.
But there is a problem, or perhaps because of the sudden addition of the Baker family, things have changed a little.
Steve, who also understood that famous families valued credibility, had no intention of doing any tricks at all, and was completely using honest means.
This guy directly raised the price a lot with the help of the power behind him.
And because he is also the son-in-law of the Stany family, it is impossible for the Barton family to favor one person over another.
What's more, Steve still has a special background this time, so meeting their requirements must be the first priority.
Therefore, it also led to the final difference in price and quantity.
The original food supply of 50,000 gold coins for two years.
In the end, he could only get back more than a year's worth, although Kesim promised that he would use his connections to make up for the missing part.
But similarly, the cost of collecting food from everywhere will definitely continue to drive up food prices.
With the Baker family causing trouble, Lorne estimated that he would have to pay at least double the price to get sufficient food supplies.
"How is that possible?
Uncle, the most indispensable thing for the Barton family is food.
Why is there not enough?"
Lorne also wanted to know this question.
He didn't believe that with the power of the Baker family, the Barton family, known as the breadbasket of the empire, could be emptied out in one fell swoop.
In fact, the Baker family would not do such a thing just because of Lorne.
The reason for everything is actually the red-eyed orc.
The expedition had almost emptied the Habs family's granary.
As the ruling family in the north, it was their job to ensure that the territory had sufficient food.
This time, it was because of the Grand Duchess.
The Baker family got the task of collecting food, and Lorne could only be regarded as hitting the gun of the Baker family.
Steve explained this to Kesim, and it was natural that Lorne, a small person, had to make way for the overall situation.
Expressing his helplessness, Kesim explained the matter and then said: "Winter is coming soon, and we have to be responsible for the entire empire.
If we don't have enough reserves, wouldn't it be terrible if something special happened?
But don’t worry, our Barton family is not the only one who is the breadbasket of the empire.
If the Baron needs it, I can contact the Stuart family.
