for Knight training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing the training, he returned to the castle but did not go to the third-floor attic; instead, he went to the study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gray Wolf Knight was already waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The desk was cluttered with rolls of parchment and books, mostly administrative orders awaiting signatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As winter approached, refugees began appearing in the icy lands further north of the Northern Silver Moon Kingdom, putting Frost Wolf Ridge on alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master David.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Harvest Moon is over, and all the grain has been stored in the granary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gray Wolf Knight held a stack of parchments, reporting the recent grain harvest to David.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the trade of Frost Wolf Ridge secretly cut off by the Ice Bear Clan, the only notable product was the high-quality wheat grown with organic fertilizer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the territory facing winter, an ample food supply was crucial for surviving the season safely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I trust Uncle Olay with the territory’s matters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After signing all the orders, David put down the quill and asked, \"Still no news about the Wizard?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There isn’t.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gray Wolf Knight shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, the Lord’s castle housed a Witch, whom he had completely given up persuading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it was determined to find Wizards to strategize against the Northern Nobles, he naturally started to look for Wizards vigorously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, there was still no news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in Mountain Cat Town, which once had Witch sightings, there was no news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David nodded, showing the same helplessness on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Amy was indeed a Witch, her power came from her innate talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her strong Ice Element Talent allowed Amy to directly wield Ice Power, but it differed from Wizard magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To master Wizardry, one must have Wizard heritage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, I’ve gathered information on a few special girls.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, the Gray Wolf Knight spoke, clearly concerned about David having offspring soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David paused in silence, nodded, and took a roll of parchment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the introduction of the first two girls, he was stunned, and a hint of mystery flashed across his face, \"Bicolored Lotus?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gray Wolf Knight nodded, seeing David interested, and whispered, \"Should I bring them for you to see?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if you’re not interested in them, they can still serve as maids in the castle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David agreed immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was indeed planning to find another loyal maid to take care of Amy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two girls were released after training by slave traders and were fully capable of maid duties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After instructing to bring them the next day, he sent off the Gray Wolf Knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, David left the study on the second floor and headed to the attic on the third floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the morning, David had already told Liya about starting to sleep together tonight, and Liya had already moved some of her belongings over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Liya and Amy organizing the room upon entering, he felt more strongly that raising a few trustworthy maids was very necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David began cultivation with Liya and Amy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Amy was a bit hesitant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, with Liya’s initiative in cooperation, Amy slowly accepted and began to cooperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You completed a session of cultivation, Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline +40]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline: Tier Three (4852\u002F5000)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You completed a session of cultivation, gained Ice Element Talent +25]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ice Element Talent: Low (951\u002F1000)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David let out a satisfied breath and opened the virtual panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After more than a month of effort, the Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline and Ice Element Talent had reached the verge of a breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, his physical strength had reached its limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed he needed to continue enhancing his physical strength to form a positive cycle and increase his cultivation efficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liya and Amy got up early to start tidying up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, nobody dared to go up to the third floor, so it was up to them to clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Liya and Amy said nothing, David still immediately found the Gray Wolf Knight to meet the new maids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the castle’s conference hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two girls stood together in maid outfits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When David arrived at the castle’s guest hall, he was also stunned by the scene before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their faces were almost identical but one had blue hair, the other red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red and blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These are classic opposing colors like water and fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected it to appear on a pair of sisters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad; let them stay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David made an immediate decision without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bicolored Lotus was indeed rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slightly sensed that the sisters might hold some secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing David accept the two girls, the Gray Wolf Knight smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over time he felt he’d grasped the Lord’s interests in certain areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the Gray Wolf Knight departed smiling, David looked at the two girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From now on, you will be called Fire Dance and Shuili.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sisters responded in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although their tone was respectful, there was a lack of spirit in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David observed the somewhat vacant look in the young girls’ eyes, knowing it was a result of training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for the Bicolored Lotus being special, potentially harboring special bloodline or talent, David actually wasn’t keen on accepting such girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I only require your absolute loyalty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For all else, you may live like ordinary people,\" David said, thinking for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But clearly, his words didn’t have much effect as the two maids remained expressionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A bit of a headache.\" David furrowed his brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such cases, even if he were to cultivate with the Twin Lotus, the effect would certainly not be great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently though, David had no such thoughts yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He planned to observe first, to see if there were any special bloodlines or talents in the Bicolored Lotus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, David brought the sisters to the third floor of the castle, where they would henceforth be responsible for the third floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, this is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liya’s gaze shifted between the sisters, a deep meaning in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David knew Liya misunderstood, so he explained, \"From now on, they’ll take care of your daily needs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Liya begin to assess the two maids anew, showing surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clearly noticed they were twin sisters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After David introduced the sisters, older sister Fire Dance would take care of Liya, while younger sister Shuili would care for Amy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the two castle mistresses were assigned, the two maids officially started their duties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was evident that the sisters had received specialized training, skillfully cleaning the room while donned in their maid outfits, their movements meticulous.\u003C\u002Fp>",1118,"2026-06-02T12:15:32.079Z",1,"novelbin.me","c2ed4bc79bafbdfac9f9b2ba468d9edf88a91df72550287a56e0673342597edb","wizard-stronger-through-marriage-chapter-12","wizard-stronger-through-marriage-chapter-10",992,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwizard-stronger-through-marriage-cover.jpg"]
