Chapter 51: Walter Gets Stolen

Walter started shi+vering He knew that whenever the little devil smiled like this, someone would pay Walter felt a little sympathy for the people in the hall

“Your excellency, you have finally arrived We have been waiting for a long time” Froedover slowly His face was abnored in woh his words were polite, there wasn’t a single trace of respect in theirl was only a h the prominence of her family So what if she was from the Hill clan? The ehten out this young and inexperienced child? Threaten her first, then offer a few benefits But they couldn’t overdo it, because the irl was Sir Cliff Fortunately Sir Cliff didn’t coet a little tricky

Claire watched thethe whole tilad that the child was indeed easy to straighten out

But Claire saw the contempt in his eyes clearly

“Your excellency, your servant is Flinn Menda The qualities your excellency exhibited during this plague… ” The ed man called Flinn was the head of all the nobles in Niya He put what he thought was a char First flatter, then coerce, and finally, lay out conditions: this the way they usually did things

But soon, his char smile froze on his face

Because Claire raised her hand quietly to stop what he was going to say

This was very rude behaviour

All the nobles in the hall were stunned Although Claire was the castellan, she was only the lowest baron And she esture? No castellan had ever dared to be so rude to them nobles

“Does your excellency have soer

“Everyone knows that the plague had just ended, and there are still a lot of matters to settle I need help from you; I’enerous” Claire spoke, s at the doorway

When Claire gave such a speech, the expression on the faces of Flinn and the rest of the nobles changed Claire’swas very clear: she would not let theoods

“Your excellency… ”Flinn squeezed out a s

But Claire didn’t even glance at him Instead, she raised her head to speak to the crowd “I know that you invited me here today to prove your loyalty to the country I’reed to lower all daily supplies sold by the trade union by twenty percent to help the people of Niya city Another thing: I will be soon be leaving on a trip with one, Heath will still take over my role as a castellan I have faith that all of you will help Heath diligently, returning Niya to its prosperity”

As soon as Claire finished speaking, the whole hall boiled

The croas gossiping aly He didn’t think that this little girl would take the initiative, first giving the her decision

“Your excellency, you should also know that the founding of our trade union wasn’t easy During this plague, we also experienced serious losses… ” Flinn’s face was green as he complained

“Are you saying that the castellan’s words have no authority? Is loyalty worth a penny? Are you trying to say that not only are you unwilling to lower prices, but you plan to increase the prices and make money out of the crisis? And exploit harshly the already poor and grievous people?” Yixuan Feng now spoke fiercely, glaring and cursing at Flinn He pointed at the elaborate decorations in the hall

“This is what you call experiencing serious losses? Whoa, look at this crystal chandelier, old coins And this table set is froold coins And this rug is a foreign iold coins!”

Flinn opened his mouth wide, completely astonished Who was this black haired red eyed youth? So rude and arrogant! The castellan also didn’t do anything about it And the prices he listed for each item were so precise

“You! Who are you? Speaking so rudely!” Flinn cah this black haired youth was dressed nicely, his language was rude and Flinn had not heard of any other nobles acco the castellan, so this youth probably didn’t have any background Perhaps, he could be the weak link in their party and Flinn et a chance to correct his mistake

“He’s my assistant” Claire s, that crazy boy, would definitely say, ‘I’m your castellan’s future husband’ Then Claire’s expression beca he said correct?”

“Yes… ” Flinn answered absent-minded, then came back to his senses and shouted, “Absolutely not Our loyalty to the country is open for everyone to see”

“Then, Baron Flinn, you have agreed to lower prices by twenty percent?” Once again, Claire put on a brilliant smile

“Well, this, I agree, but the other trade unions… ” Flinn was riding on a tiger and unable to get off, so he pretended to be aard He looked at the other nobles in the hall and continued, “Your excellency, as you have also seen, my family is richer and still able to ue, but ues… ” It doesn’t matter if he lowered the prices If need be, he could just close his shop and take his goods to his relatives’ shops and still make a lot of money

“That’s right, your excellency, Baron Flinn is able to maintain, but it’s hard for us” A fat man immediately walked over and interrupted

“You could lose soht” Wen at the parasites in the room These people wanted to make money out of the crisis, but pretended to be so pitiful

“Who are you? You’re interrupting my talk with the castellan” Once he heard Wenmo Shui jab at his sore spot, the fat er

The hall beca Wenmo Shui There was finally a weak point on the castellan’s side; how could they let it go? He was only a servant of the castellan A lowly peasant being so rude to a noble would only end up hanged

But Wenmo Shui only humphed and looked indifferently to the side

“Your excellency, you also saw it Your servant was so rude to me A peasant insulted the authority of us nobles I ask for you to punish hiht now” The stupid fateverywhere

Claire glanced at Wenmo Shui and suddenly lowered her voice so that only they could hear “Wenmo Shui, his spit flew onto your hair”

The next moment, Wenmo Shui’s face becae

With a “whoosh”, Wenmo Shui had pulled out his sword, his violet DouQi radiant A nificent ray of DouQi slashed towards that fat noble

A deep crack appeared on the red-carpeted floor, reaching all the way until the fat noble’s feet If it went forward just a tiny bit, the fat guy would probably be dead

The hall was deathly silent

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them, stunned

That handsoerous person too, using force for no reason at all! Without any respect to people or place! If he used just a bit th, that aristocrat would be dead!

The fat s started shaking uncontrollably

“You, you… ” The fatat Wener He was extreerous person with the castellan?

The aristocratic woirls ere attracted by Wenhtened, and they decided not to hook up with Wenmo Shui after the banquet as they planned to

“Aiya, hehe, I’uards are just like this, unable to control themselves when they see someone unrespectful towardsthis nobleman here mentioned, I’m afraid that’s a little hard to do No one in Niya is his y? Was there? Was there? It was very obviously that not only wasn’t there any sincerity, it was full of pleasure

The hall was deathly silent

Everyone’s expression was ugly Most people wanted to criticize her, but because of Claire’s strong backing, Cliff, they couldn’t say anything too harsh

Flinn knitted his brows tightly, thinking about how to get the upper hand back

“Ahehtened her expression and coughed slightly, and said pretentiously, “Wen this noble like this?”

When everyone heard that, their expressions becauard on the surface

Flinn’s face also relaxed a bit So this little child wasn’t too uncooperative and knehen to stop

“Oh, it’s ly

“Yes, it’s your fault Next tiive any mercy; just slice hi, but her words were dark

As soon as Claire finished speaking, the expressions of all the people in the hall changed greatly Disbelief was in every eye They couldn’t believe that a pretty, sunny little girl would say so like this

“Yes, yes” Wenhed evilly

“If you do that next tie” Claire’s casual words were like tons of stones on the nobles’ hearts They were so casual, not caring about their status as aristocrats or their lives

Everyone stared at Claire Right now, all they were thinking was how frightening Claire’s smile looked

“Haha, I’leefully In truth, one gold coin per month ay too little

“Then what aboutinterrupted hurriedly After all, he orking for free

“Maybe next time It’ll depend on which one of you is faster” Claire replied insipidly

Jean watched this silently, a light flashi+ng through his eyes as he looked at Claire

The casual conversation between the three infuriated and frightened the nobles in the hall nobody dared to interrupt Even their farand swordsman

Flinn’s gaze was furious This little child was pushi+ng it too far! Who did she think she was?! He would find a way to report to the emperor of her unrespectfulness and reckless attitude Just wait and see!

It wouldn’t end like this!

“You all know that I’ I will tell the emperor of your sacrifice for Niya and your loyalty to the country andto take racefully, nodded towards the people, and then turned around and left

The beautiful antly, leaving many red-faced nobles

And like so, they walked out the door Jean handed Claire a jacket for protection fro on the carriage, she strolled around on the streets Everything Claire needed was in the pockets of the jacket, including the still asleep White Emperor

Niya had finally returned to it’s usual prosperity Many people caratitude written all over their faces At first they didn’t trust her, but now they worshi+pped her

Suddenly, a little girl in a flower-print dress rushed up to Claire with a bouquet of flowers She raised up the flowers and s sister, this is for you”

Claire looked at the innocent sirl and was stunned Froratitude and happiness

“Big sister ood person” The little girl held up the flowers stubbornly, as if she wouldn’t put them down if Claire didn’t accept them

“Mary, what are you doing?” The rebuking voice of an adult sounded in the distance and then a young man dressed like a commoner ran up hurriedly, his expression terrified He looked at Claire and explained, “Your excellency, I’ and disobedient”

A smile slowly appeared on Claire’s face as she bent down and accepted the flowers froirl’s head and said, “Thank you, the flowers are beautiful”

The young man was shocked Born a noble, yet the castellan was so approachable?

“Big sister, you will always protect us, right?” The little girl asked happily when she saw that Claire accepted the flowers

“Mary!” The young irl as he picked her up He apologized immediately to Claire “Your excellency, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry… ”

“Yes, I will I will always protect everyone Always” Claire s

“Yay! Yeah!” The little girl cheered, holding her father’s neck and s

Claire s man and said, “No need to be so cautious Your child is very adorable If there are any probleo to the castle and find the proxy castellan He will help you”

“Thank you, castellan, thank you, castellan” The young man hastily thanked over and over

Walter asked wickedly, “Claire, since ere you so kind?” After Walter finished asking, he waited for Claire’s life threatening pinch, but even after a long time, there was no response

Claire was silent, not saying a word

Kind?

Really?

Why was this word so ridiculous?

Seeing Claire’s silence, Walter started to beco today? Just then you were laughing, telling someone to kill someone and disme thatyou ate or drank…” Walter chattered on without end

Claire was silent She went forward slowly, like she was pondering over so

At that ster walked over and brushed past them

Once Claire came back to her senses, she discovered that Walter’s voice was going farther and farther away!
