Chapter 95 Meeting

damn, damn! What a bullshi+t prince, isn’t he the one as only thrown into this wilderness out of pity! Cornelius ferociously thought, but when he reuards with their hands at their swords alking behind him, he had to temporarily s his mouthful of resentments back into his stomach

When he was finally out of the castle and saw the two guards leaving, the Baron felt relieved

He pulled out an already wet handkerchief and wiped his forehead He resolutely spit out athe spit directly s into the Prince’s face Yet this still wasn’t enough to release his anger, so he had to stamp repeatedly onto the spit, until his heart was finally comforted

Just because you were able to block the invasion of the deainst Longsong Stronghold? Just carry on being so proud, after all you don’t have much time left in which to be so proud!

Cornelius thought that if he hadn’t received such reliable information, he would never have dared to coeneral, the aristocracy will always return even later than the civilians After all,was dirty work, it was so hard that the aristocrats would never do them

Their part was just to supervise the production And wait until there was enough ore so that it could be transferred And in their spare tio to their hunters’ houses, and ask whether they had any suitable high-quality fur to purchase

But this year the situation was completely differently, Cornelius had heard from the financial director Sir Reynolds that Duke Ryan was ready to drive the 4th Prince out of Border Town – this wasn’t a betrayal to the King of Graycastle, no instead they were upholding an order fro: “Roland Wier the Lord of Border Town, and if he wants to get re-assigned to a new territory he has to return back to the king’s office first”

Duke Ryan had spoken these revolutionary words in front of Sir Reynolds, who had been able to climb up from a position in the City Hall to the position of financial director in only five short years If they hadn’t had a distant relationshi+p as relatives, and if he hadn’t sent hih-quality furs each year, Cornelius would never be able to knoent on in the e of the west

“Gaining a new territory after returning to the King” was just an empty state able to say anything had been sent to the guillotine So if the 4th Prince went back, would the new king show him mercy?

Without doubt, the west border was under the rule of Duke Ryan, the only question hether he would wait for the order of King Timothy or if he would act without it However, when Duke Ryan decided to act, there would be no difference between Roland Wi

This was also the reason why Cornelius had rushed to Border Town, the first reason was naturally to get to the furs as early as possible, but his second reason was to put his own house up for sale The first point he thought was a very smart idea, while in the previous years the civilians fled to the Longsong Stronghold to take refuge, their inventory was naturally empty, so early in the year But this year they had stayed the whole tioods he would receive, right? So not only could he make a small fortune, but he could also offer Reynolds some familial piety

The second point was that Cornelius had asked Reynold to give hih it was just busy work, but it was still better than living in this damned poor place And since he wouldn’t need his house any longer, he should sell it as soon as possible Who knohen Duke Ryan would start his attack, iving hi loss

But he never iined that the house wasn’t burned down by mercenaries, but instead it was directly reht once er, it was one of old royals were an exaggeration, but it had at least a value of thirty gold royals

In order to get the money early, he had even bent his back, and had reluctantly accepted twenty gold royals, but then His Highness even treated hi him his coins, he was even threatened by defection Doesn’t he know that each year to the beginning of the Months of Dehold?

Wait a minute… Cornelius suddenly slowed down, there seeh he had previously heard of the 4th Prince bad character, the Prince was always acting without thinking, he even malicious molested Baron Simon’s wife directly after he had arrived at Border Town Afterwards this beca time But today, the impression he received from the Prince didn’t ry nor did he act shamelessly, instead it was Cornelius himself who had shown bad character and acted co the whole talk, the other side had constantly spoken in the same tone
