The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

ed off the sweat from his forehead and said, “Lord Earl, do you want me to leave the medicine?”

The medicine he said is a bottle of turbid holy water after performing a prayer.

“…No need, you can go.”

The doctor retired and left.

Xia Zuoyi looked at the man who had been silent since meeting him, “What’s your name?”

“Fernandi Edwards.” 

The man’s voice was deep and hoarse.

He didn’t seem to have much respect and awe for the nobility.

Even if Xia Zuoyi called a doctor to treat him, the expression on his face had not changed, and he lacked even the slightest gratitude.

His hands and feet were still heavily shackled.
After the blood stains were cleaned, he showed a handsome and masculine face.
The scar on his right cheek was cut from the side of his ear to his chin, about a finger long, adding a bit of ferocity.

Xia Zuoyi, “Can you tell me why you killed the lord’s brother?”

Fernandi Edwards, “You don’t need to know.”

Udit frowned, “Pay attention to your attitude.”

Although he didn’t know what happened to Fernandi Edwards, he would abandon his promising knight commander position and even the Baronial title to assassinate the nobles.

But he could not treat the Earl who saved his life with indifference and disrespect.

Fernandi Edwards only continued in a flat voice, “If you are angry, you can order someone to kill me.”

Xia Zuoyi, “But I bought you with a gold coin.
Can you give it back to me first? Or after killing you, can gold coins pop out from your corpse?”

Obviously not.

Fernandi Edwards became silent again.

Xia Zuoyi looked at him twice and ordered, “Udit, take care of him, don’t let him die.”

Udit, “Yes, my lord.” 

After the attendant sent the signed territorial transition document, the gray Pal Mountain in the system interface was instantly lit up and turned into color, and the territorial range data was updated.

Xia Zuoyi did not leave in a hurry, and stayed in the royal city for three or four days before slowly setting off to return to Wissas.

Fernandi Edwards’ wound had almost scabbed during this period, and would not split and bleed.

He followed behind the craftsmen and guarded by knights, the shackles on his hands and feet had long been removed, making it easy for him to move.

On the way, they passed through a mountain forest and took a rest.

Xia Zuoyi took a nap in the carriage with a small hiccup.

The knights and craftsmen had eaten and drank enough, each found a place to rest or gather in twos and threes to chat together.

After confirming that Xia Zuoyi was asleep, Udit walked to Fernandi Edwards, “Lord earl’s  original plan was to leave the royal city as soon as the documents were issued.”

“The reason why he stayed for another four days and walked so slowly on the road… I’m sure you won’t fail to feel why.”

Fernandi Edwards, sitting on the rock alone, raised his head and silently glanced at the direction of the carriage.

At first he was determined to die.

Whether deliberately offending the noble Nate Case or attempting to let the wound worsen…

If it weren’t for the devil taking his soul away if he committed suicide, he would have taken his life long ago.

“What does he want from me?” Fernandi Edwards muttered.

Udit, “You have nothing now.”

Fernandi Edwards laughed at himself, “You’re right, so I don’t understand.”

Udit gave him a deep look, “For my lord’s sake, I only hope you can have a grateful heart.”

After speaking, he turned and left.

After a long time.

Fernandi Edwards inaudibly sighed, “The person I was grateful for…has made me betrayed…”

Translator’s Notes:

I’m confused with this one.
Baidu translates it as “He insulted me.” but Google translates it as “He smashes into me rudely.” so I tried translating it as “He rudely bumped into me.” but when I individually translated the characters in Baidu, these characters 顶撞 translates to “butt;   contradict;   contradict defiantly;   rebut with rude remarks” I’m so confused as to what translation should I go with.
Btw, here’s the sentence 他无礼的顶撞了我！for those who want to help me hahaha. Edit: Thank you for justapassingstudent for helping me translate this part~ It’s where doctors open up your skull for treatment.
