At that moment Alton was taking a drink, as soon as Clayton said those words he spat out the drink he had in his mouth and looked at Clayton. "Excuse me?! Wife?!" Alton asked.

"Well my lord. . . You will need to bring up the next generation of the viscount." Clayton spoke back.

Alton didn't want too admit it but Clayton was right, he will need to have children at some point. So he started to think about it. "Not yet, I won't look for one when I'm going to kick out the count plus it's going to be hard to find someone as I'm an illegitimate child, someone that doesn't even fit anywhere in society. Getting a wife is low on my priorities right now." Alton said getting some food and putting it in his mouth.

Clayton nodded his head and Lloyd started to laugh as Alton was saying those words. Cody looked at them all confused as he was listening to their conversation. "What's a wife?" Cody asked outloud.

That's when the other four looked at him, "you don't know what a wife is?" Lloyd asked him. Cody simply shook his head at the question and looked at everyone else. "Well a wife is a life long partner, she will be with you for the rest of your life right by your side. A loyal person. Understand?" Lloyd said trying to explain it as simply as he could.

"Yes! I think so!" Cody spoke up smiling as he said those words.

Alton looked at the two and gave a smile. That's when he noticed that his mother was looking at him with a huge smile on her. She smiled even more when Alton looked at her. He was confused however, at why his mother looked at him with such happiness. "Something wrong mom?" Alton asked.

That's when everyone looked towards Alton and then moved their attention towards Nyoria. Nyoria kept her attention and gaze on her son. She shook her head still keeping the smoke on her face as she did. "Not at all! I'm just so proud of the person you have become, I always thought you were smart and kind but now look, you got so many people on your side all because you care about them when their current master does not." Nyoria spoke up her words carrying the happy tone of voice.

Alton looked at her shocked as she said those words too him. He gave a smile and got up, walked over and hugged his mother. The other three men was smiling and looking happy for them both. Alton stood up and looked right at Cody. "Keep up the good work and the plan will be able to go ahead. I'm counting on your attack power." Alton said to him.

Cody looked at Alton and gave a huge smile, nodding his head towards him as well. That's when it was time for them all take their leave from there just incase the viscount, viscountess or the young ladies notice all three of them are gone. Alton made his way to the estate along the way saying hello and making sure the people that lived in the small village was all okay, once that was done he made his way to the garden of the estate.

The Gardner was working away, really hard. That's when Alton got some water and walked over to him holding it out to the Gardner. When he looked and noticed the bottle of water, he smiled and took it. "Thank you!" He said and stayed to drink straight away.

"No problem."

As soon as Alton said that, it startled the Gardner, he didn't notice it was Alton that gave it to him. The Gardner started to cough and looked at him. "M-My lord?! I'm so sorry!! Is there something I can do for you?!" He said in a panic. Alton simply shook his head and started to walk off in garden, Clayton and Lloyd following in suit. While they was walking Alton was looking at the flowers that he was passing, the different colour roses he was passing.

"I need more people on my side. . . Especially from the other strongest clans."
