Chapter 172 The noble. (2/2)

At least that would be the most obvious reason for such a predica lord was meant to pass, one without the help of any retainers lent frouards and onehe was the son of one of the dom

The old man wanted to ask for the reason but he knew that he could not For the ti in contact with some people from the main house

“Yes roup of people walked into the large mansion that was previously occupied by the city mayor Since so to hiated into a smaller room in the same house as he was still the head butler

As the main butler of this Albrook estate he still had many duties that he had to adhere to Normally he would be responsible for the estate expenses and for disputes between the citizens

Noith the lord being here, it would be up to hi to the current servants This was a rather common occurrence as many nobles saw it beneath the lord turned out to be on the lazier side he ht very well abandon all his duties and just relax The city was already operating by itself and the people living there were not ones that liked changes The power struggles had all been finished whichlord’s appearance an eyesore to the winners

“These are your bed chaave a quick tour to the Duke’s son This housefroet co abodes The Duke for instance lived in a grand castle with thousands of soldiers defending it In comparison, this looked like a mansion used for vocational purposes

It still had all the facilities that were needed to govern the land here A large dining area, a kitchen with several servants and chefs that possessed expert culinary skills There was a training area for the knights and soldiers in the back and also a proper library to keep all the notes

There was enough space for a large family and servants to live here but this was still considered minuscule for a Duke’s son

“You may leave”

“As you wish my lord”

Ferdinand finally left and Arthur was left in this new rooht?”

“I would be lying if I said it was, did you see the look on their faces when the knights left? I bet the ruh the city”

The lance, she seemed to be a normal human maid but after a second look, her cat ears could be spotted

“It’s fine Mary, I’m used to it, not like I intend this to be the end, no this is only going to be the beginning You should go visit the othersome time here”

The cat maid nodded weakly at what her lord said and promptly re lord’s wardrobe for the next day whileup As she left the young e room

“This is it huh?”

He ood look at the city landscape There he saw s on with their lives

Arthur gave out a sigh before sitting down on a somewhat uncomfortable chair This would be the place that he either rose up to the challenge or was left forgotten While sitting there ave up as the stress of the long journey was getting to hi in that carriage…”

His eyes were red fro the bu as they constantly stopped at other cities to stay for the night Noould need to get used to another new bed that he ht throw out later

“They don’t expect me to do much here, it would be best if I just stayed here forever…”

The locket that he had previously looked at was open again Inside of it he could see a s silver hair Her ears were a bit longer than what a hue of five with the sareen instead of sky blue

Arthur aze towards a small mirror that was on the desk There he moved his hair out of the way to look at his ears that were also slightly pointier than they should be Due to his long flowy locks, they were hard to spot but they would certainly be an eye raiser if they were seen by other people

“I should get some sleep, there is a lot of work ahead of me…”

…

Back to the present

“So they just left?”

“Yes, it was a sight to behold, I haven’t seen so hts before in h quality and that one the leader earing was clearly runic in nature!”

Roland was back into the world of the living after sleeping througha conversation with Bernir that had been lucky enough to see a s the city

“So this Arthur Valerian, know anything about him?”

“Hm, I think he is the 6th? or ht Alexander Valerian I heard a ruained a certain nicknaulping doarotten fresh from the butcher Elodia had closed down the shop and already left to tend to the orphans, noanting to wake the tired Roland up she decided to have Bernir fill hiet this, he is called the Duke of the bastards, he just can’t keep it in his pants!”

Bernir started laughing while describing the Duke’s legendary escapades As the conversation continued Roland also started recalling sootten information about this man

As a Duke, he had to have a certain ah level tier 3 class holder of so a Duke’s position was most of the time quite bloody

Thisthat inner The person that came to this city was supposedly one of them It was probably someone that didn’t have a lot of pull in the family but still was part of it

“Well I wouldn’t worry too much boss, your secret should be safe”

While Bernir didn’t ask ured out that Roland was probably in a similar position as this new noble named Arthur

“A bastard son of a Duke… I wonder what the others will think of it…”

While finishi+ng up his food he began contee, he wasn’t sure if investing in this new person would bring him any profits Still, he was a noble and could ot under his skin That is if the current officials actually listened to his orders
