"But all Nobility need Maids. It's my duty to ensure Your Lordship's daily life is well arranged," Susan disagreed. "All nobles have many followers and Maids."
Susan also reminded Lance of a more direct reason.
"Your Lordship needs to re-establish the dignity of the Nobility, and they want you to have an Heir so they can feel secure."
Upon hearing this, Lance seemed to understand something. He didn't object further and fell into deep thought.
Susan's words were easy to understand. The generosity Lance had shown them was so immense it made them anxious. Could all this be taken away if someone else became the Lord? They feared losing everything.
They only recognized Lance. If external enemies appeared, they would dare to confront them. The problem, however, was that Lance currently had no Heir, and any accident would cause unease among the people.
An Heir was always extremely important, as it represented the continuation of political stability.
