The soldiers, knights, and horses were distributed between the walls and the castle. This arrangement ensured both the safety and order within the castle while facilitating the management of personnel and livestock.
In summary, John was very satisfied with the overall planning of the castle. He believed that once this castle was completed, it might not be as impregnable as a fortress of copper and iron, but as long as they did not encounter an overwhelmingly powerful enemy, it would be foolproof.
"Dear sir, may I ask if you are satisfied with this design? If you believe it is perfect and requires no improvements, I will begin the construction immediately," the experienced designer inquired with a smile. Deep down, he understood that someone like John, a lord, often knew little about design. The gap in understanding was vast; how much could they really grasp of its intricacies? Thus, this question was more a matter of courtesy than anything else.
John gazed at the detailed and exquisite blueprints before him. Although he admired them in his heart, he truly could not find a single flaw. After all, this designer was a leader in the industry, and his professional competence was beyond doubt. After some contemplation, John finally nodded in agreement to commence the work. He then waved to summon the serfs who had just completed their farming tasks.
For these impoverished serfs, the noble lord's plan to build a grand castle was undoubtedly significant. Unable to bear the high construction costs, their only contribution could be their hard work and sweat. This exchange of labor for a chance at survival was considered a matter of course in that hierarchical society.
As time passed, several months flew by. The site was bustling with activity and order. Various building materials were continuously delivered, craftsmen skillfully showcased their expertise while the serfs diligently engaged in heavy labor under watchful supervision.
Meanwhile, John's life was quite comfortable and pleasant. His beloved wife Annie and the maids were nearing their due dates, soon to bring new life into their family.
At this moment, John was completely immersed in the joy of impending fatherhood, having little time to concern himself with events happening outside. To him, as a traditional man from the East, nothing mattered more than being by his family's side during this time, quietly waiting for both the completion of the castle and the arrival of his children.
As for other trivial matters, he left them to others to handle. Thus, during this period, John spent his days either accompanying his wife and children or occasionally checking on the construction progress. To describe his current state perfectly: "A warm home with wife and children."
