"500 gold coins, that's a lot!"

Windsor pretended to be stunned and looked at Sean blankly.

"You heard it right, it's 500 gold coins!"

Sean was very satisfied with Windsor's acting skills and secretly gave him a thumbs up.

While giving the thumbs up, Sean continued: "Wendsor, are you willing to be my captain of the bodyguard?

If you become my guard captain, I can give you a monthly salary of 20 gold coins."

"Of course...of course I am willing! It is my honor to serve His Highness Sean!" Windsor replied "ecstatically" while kneeling down to show his allegiance to Sean.

"That's good, I'll introduce you to my butler." Sean helped Windsor up from the ground.

"Henry, I have something to tell you." Sean greeted his butler.

...

At this time, the butler Henry was covering his heart with his hand and staring blankly ahead, as if he was too frightened and had not yet recovered.

After hearing Sean's greeting, Henry came back to his senses and walked to Sean's side.

"Your Highness Sean, are you okay? Are you injured?" Henry looked at Sean with concern and kept looking around.

Henry was relieved when he saw that there was no blood on the scene.

"Of course I'm fine. It was this soldier who saved me. His name is Windsor." Sean introduced, "He will be my guard captain from now on. Let's get to know each other."

"Thank you, Windsor." Butler Henry held Windsor's hands excitedly, "If His Highness Sean is successfully attacked by gangsters, I will probably spend the rest of my life in prison."

"I am also doing this for Hetan Town." Windsor said seriously, "Hetan Town has suffered such a serious disaster. Only His Highness Sean can lead us to rebuild Hetan Town. A lord like him who treats his people well cannot help but

He should die in the hands of gangsters!"

The shocked refugees from Hetan Town nearby heard Windsor's words and also expressed their agreement.

"That's right! His Highness Sean exempted us from all taxes and provided us with free food. I have never seen such a good lord!"

"His Royal Highness Sean is so generous now, and he will definitely not exploit us in the future. We, the residents of Hetan Town, are really lucky!"

"I want to quickly inform my relatives in the city to leave the city as soon as possible and come back to Hetan Town with us!"

...

In an instant, the open space at the entrance to the refugee camp was filled with all kinds of words praising Sean.

...

After the butler Henry and Windsor got to know each other, Sean told the butler Henry: "Henry, help Windsor select a few strong residents to serve as guards temporarily, and buy them some weapons and armor.

Windsor's salary is 20 gold coins a month, and the salary of ordinary guards is temporarily set at 4 gold coins a month."

"You will definitely complete the mission, Your Highness Sean." Henry, the butler, sighed while replying, "20 gold coins a month, what a lucky guy!"

"Who says it's not the case? My salary is only 20 gold coins." John, the captain of the guard standing next to him, also said with a slightly sour taste.

He had been a bodyguard for the Earl of River for more than ten years. It was only recently that he broke through the upper bronze level and his salary increased to 20 gold coins per month. However, the salary of the black iron-level guy in front of him was almost the same as himself.

However, John was not jealous of Windsor. After all, if it were not for the help of the black iron-level guy in front of him, he would have been on his way to escape to Capul Port to become a pirate.

...

In the next period of time, Sean began to comfort the frightened refugees in Riverside Town, telling them that the danger had been resolved.

After Sean comforted the refugees, Matthew came back.

"Your Highness Sean, I'm back and I have good news to tell you. I found this." Matthew handed Sean the hose that the assassin had torn open.

"What is this?" Sean looked at the hose Matthew handed him in confusion.

"This is a suicidal agent that assassins under the Black Hand Brotherhood often carry with them. After taking it, you will die violently within five seconds if you give up your fighting spirit. It can be said to be the standard for assassins of the Black Hand Brotherhood." Matthew explained.

"The Black Hand Brotherhood? Are they the ones who want to kill me?" Sean fell into deep thought.

"Yes, and no." Matthew nodded, then shook his head.

"What do you mean?" Sean asked.

Matthew thought seriously for a while and said:

"The Black Hand Brotherhood is a mysterious underground organization, but they have always remained neutral. The assassins under their command also work for money. Like the assassin sent to assassinate you this time, they should also work for money.

But after all, you are a direct bloodline of Archduke Ryan. If you say that this matter did not have the tacit approval of the top leaders of the Black Hand Brotherhood, I definitely don't believe it.

Let me do it, I will help you go to the city to investigate for free and see if I can find any clues."

"That's really hard on you."

As Sean spoke, he secretly remembered the name "Black Hand Brotherhood" in his mind.

"It's okay. Although you didn't hire me here today, but since I'm here, the Black Hand Brotherhood sent people to assassinate you. This is too disrespectful to me, Matthew, so I must go and investigate.

.

Then, Your Highness Sean, I will take my leave now!"

"Matthew... okay, I wish your investigation goes well!"

Sean originally wanted to keep him. After all, Matthew had a huge experience package, so he was a little reluctant to let him go so easily.

But seeing Matthew's impatient expression, Sean didn't stop him.

Matthew saluted Sean and then walked towards the city gate.

.....

After Matthew left, the guards also dragged back the bodies of the three assassins.

Sean had never seen blood, and he was very uncomfortable seeing the three corpses. He was too nervous after being assassinated just now, and now he felt extremely tired both physically and mentally.

So Sean said to the butler Henry: "I'll leave this to you and Windsor. I'll go back to the city first. Just go to the Magic Guild to find me in the afternoon when you go to the Earl's Castle to receive the gold coins."

"Okay, Your Highness Sean. But rather than going to the Magic Guild, I think it's better for you to go back to your residence and take a rest first." Butler Henry suggested.

"I have my plan, you go and do your work." Sean waved his hand and walked towards the carriage.

.....

After saying goodbye to the butler Henry and Windsor, Sean left a guard behind to assist them in their work, while he left the refugee camp with John, the captain of the guard, and two other guards.
