Chapter 32: Mine Development 1

At the mansion in the north of Lamer City.

Sizzling sounds were coming from the mansion of the home of the Count Monarch.

“What the? Count, you can’t be doing this right at the start of the morning.”

“Huhuhu, can’t? What can’t I do! I can do whatever I want to.”

In the office, the Count Monarch was going against everyone to flirt with the new concubine that he recently brought into the mansion.

Right when he was having fun, he heard the voice of a retainer along with a knock on the door,

“Sir, I have an important matter to report!”

‘Dammit, why now…?’

The count was feeling very sullen within, but the news was coming in from none other than Goth.

He sent his concubine out on a small door to the next room and fixed his clothes.

“Hum hum! Enter.”

As the order came inside the entrance, the door opened and the retainer Goth entered immediately.

Goth had entered, he was currently the special advisor of the Count.

“What was the important thing you had to report? Did maybe the nobles and imperial family have fights again in the castle capital?”

300 years ago, as the new empire grew on the continent, thy became powerful imperial family.

The nobles began to feel a sense of crisis gathered little after little, they later grew into a faction called—The Nobleman.

However, the nobles were still less powerful than the Imperial nobles.

And influences could often be intensified by imperial affairs.

As a result, the nobles and the imperial families moved away from the other.

The Count Monarch, the relative of the imperial family, was forced to care for the most important region.

The southern provinces of the Empire had a high ratio of noble lords.

In addition, one of the three nobles, Marquis Mayers of the South could be banished if he ever did anything wrong.

“That isn’t the matter, we have discovered the identity of the Black Knight who has made you lose the other day.”

“Bla, black knight?!”

With fear in his eyes, the Count asked as he jumped up from the seat.

The bet with Reina was important enough.

Hundreds and thousands of pesos were all sown over the bet that was placed.

But then a mercenary rider stepped into the game and threw mud on their efforts.

“Who knows who that is? Was he working for one of the noblemen who sent to hinder me?”

“Not at all, actually…”

Goth laid out the information he had gathered over the past month.

The face of Count had changed strangely after hearing the information.

“The Black Knight is the servant of the Rakan’s youngest?”

“Yes. During that time he had appeared in the arena along with the young lord.”

“… no, that Luke guy is still alive?”

The Count asked with a face not understanding how it was possible.

He had the information that the last living person of the Rakan family had died from a brain injury because of a Gigant.

“That, that…”

Goth couldn’t answer that, the Count with a very twisted expression asked,

“Why aren’t you able to answer?! Did you say that the guy was going to die for sure?!”

“That was what I had thought. It was true that he had died from the run down accident.”

But the guy was still alive and fine.
