�Are they a family?�

�Yes sir.�

�Hmm.�

Count Deruth started to think.

Early winter. People wandering around without a home. He was sure that these people were wandering without having been able to harvest anything in the fall.

�There are some adults, as well as children and the elderly.�

Count Deruth�s frown became deeper after hearing Cale�s words.

He was thinking about how these pitiful people were shivering while looking for a new home.

Count Deruth took a sip of tea to calm himself. He looked toward his son Cale after the tea warmed him up a bit.

He understood why his son would want to bring them here. His son really was a big-hearted man.

Cale observed Deruth�s response and said in the most pitiful tone as possible.

�Father, that is why I hope to let them immigrate to Harris Village. Will that be okay?�

It was the Lord of the territory�s decision whether new residents could move into the territory. Cale was being cautious because he was not bringing just a few guests, instead, he was giving them a residence in their territory.

�But I�m sure he will allow it.�

He thought that Deruth would not object based on his personality. The Count slowly started to speak.

�That is a bit difficult.�

Cale flinched.

�Excuse me?�

He did not expect Deruth to say no.

He did not expect it at all. Count Deruth continued to speak at that moment.

�Harris Village is the most northern part of our territory. The Northern Alliance is expected to head down in the spring.�

Count Deruth considered himself to be a selfish person, however, he still showed warmth to the people in his territory.

�That is why I plan to move the current residents of the north prior to the spring as well. We can�t leave the residents in a dangerous location.�
