144. What the Goldwins Can Give

Arthur's last words stayed in the room for a few seconds. More than the Goldwins needing him, Carlos would need the Goldwins.

Carlos did not like the way it sounded. Not because it was completely wrong.

He knew very well that one-year-old or even six-month-old territories could crush Ironroot if their Lords decided to take him seriously.

Some of them would have more troops than Carlos had people. They would have proper equipment, older buildings, and things Carlos had not even heard about yet.

But that did not mean he had to sit here and agree to every condition Arthur threw at him.

"I know I will need help," Carlos said. "I just don't want to become a man in shackles, Uncle. I have only been able to do so much because there was no one telling me what I could and could not do." Carlos spoke.

Arthur's expression changed a little. He did not look amused now.
