Chapter 103 The Honeysuckle and the Elk Families (Part 2)
“What happened?” Petrov went through the crowed and asked
“Sir Hull, they were talking about the Lord of Border Town,” answered someone that had seen the Honeysuckle crest on his chest ”He has confiscated all the belongings of our people frohold!”
“You can call me Petrov Tell me about the situation,” Petrov ordered
“Letthrough the crowd, revealing a pleasing smile “This is how it is We serve the Duke with our lives, so I lived in the Border Tohere I was responsible forthe mines Every Winter ill take the town’s residents back with us to the Longsong Stronghold, where we are able to protect them from the demon beasts attack But this year, after the end of the Months of the Deues, Cornelius Fletcher came back to Border Town, the lord told him that his house has been demolished by the town’s people and that he wouldn’t receive any compensation for it!”
” ‘If you don’t ad to you I will put you in prison for desertion, where you ait for the day of your hanging,’ ” he said, exactly copying the 4th Prince’s words, “Sir you have to understand, what he called defection, is the procedure we have used for over a hundred years”
Petrov couldn’t stop hi h to the outside world the Prince was extremely unbearable, but cos, Roland Wi the crime of defection hit the nail on the head, however, the other side didn’t try to think thefor a reason – but the Prince never thought to convince the group of people with reason
He has already broken away froht Or, when he thought about it further, how can it be that the Prince never knew that the nobility would seek refuge in Longsong Stronghold? Obviously, that isn’t possible He clearly knew, yet he still forced a cri the other side to make a choice But in the end, he still let the other party cohold to report such a barbaric act, in the end, what is it that the Prince wants to achive?
“But he is still the Lord of Border Town,” said the hed at, “As the Lord, he has the power to dictate the rules within his own land”
“Border Town still belongs under the jurisdiction of the Western territory!” Simon retorted unhappy with a cold voice, “Do you question the authority of Duke Ryan? As the Duke, it’s his job to supervise the mine, and he appointed the nobles to do it in his name But now Roland had taken all the houses of the nobility for hiainst the six Families, Duke Ryan will never stand by and only look as he does as he pleases”
“You’re speaking about the ed Dimitry Hill?” Petrov didn’t knohen Rene came over, “My father has been furious”
“Young Lord,” Si him with a salute, “It is exactly thateven more wildly I’m afraid that only Duke Ryan can stop the Prince, and I hope that you will convey this issue to the Duke“
“Don’t worry, even with or without this matter, Duke Ryan is already prepared to play his cards” Rene seemed not the least bit concerned about the future, “It is for exactly this matter that I’ve come back, it is just that at thishis name under a trade contract, so at the moment only I can lead the Elk Family”
“Really? That’s great,” Simon said happily
Petrov frowned, he himself knew that since the moment he came to deliver the trade offer and the Prince chose to stay for the Winter in Border Town, that such a day would come sooner or later But he had never expected that his own friend would be fighting in this battle Despite all the onlooking eyes, he pulled Rene directly to his side, trying to discourage hihting”
“I know he is a prince, the Prince of the Mountain,” Rene patted on Petrov’s shoulders, “Rest assured, Duke Ryan will not hurt the Prince, maybe just as in the past he will surrender when heas we launch an attack on our horses, those farmers and miners will scatter The 4th Prince has never brandished a sword or spear, I think he won’t even e to cut a hair”
No, I orried that you would be hurt by him But he was unable to say it, he knew that the others would never believe him, because even for himself it was still difficult to believe The Prince can only rely on farhts I do not knohy, but my heart becomes uneasy when I think about it
