Jared was resting his head on her lap while she patted his head.
It was something she insisted on, thus Jared had to entertain her request even if it was just for a little while.

"Lord Jared... can I ask you something?"
"Sure."

"So we'll expand even bigger than this?"
"We won't exactly be growing if we remain the same number. We need civilians, workers, and soldiers for military power. To accomplish all these, we need manpower," he replied.
