Chapter 3 (1/2)
The ieneral, Marquis Van Earl, could be regarded as a ood husband Could a man who conspired to ood husband? Of course not
Do not be surprised, although the titan code did not encourage one to murder his own spouse, but it also did not forbid a prosecutor frohter - the prosecutor's as entranced by the prosecutor's elegance Oh! Sorry Ibut a lousy little noble, the prosecutor truly regretted being so rash in his younger days So now he had to rack his brain, to find a way and opportunity to have the wealthy young miss replace his wife However, the arduous wait had caused hietting larger by the day and he had no choice but to succumb to more extreme measures Or else, there was no way that the prosecutor could face the possible retaliations fro miss' family
Just when Van Earl was on the brink of being driven crazy, a poison doctor by the name of Mr Percy appeared before him It all happened by chance But it also seemed as if it was a predestined doom
An incident of medical malpractice and Van Earl's wife lost her life After Van Earl carelessly settled his wife's funeral, he swiftly nant for 4is that Van Earl's ex-wife's funeral and his neife's wedding was held in the same cathedral, and both these events took place in a span of only 3 days apart
Right after that, Van Earl's career skyrocketed, from a mere distant nephew of an old Marquis; he acquired the position of feudal nobility He was then transferred from the province he was in to the Empire's central province, and after that he was appointed as the Eal counselor and thereafter he took up the position as the Eeneral Let's not talk about this et to where he is nos that he indeed had certain talents about him, even His Majesty the Emperor hieable man in law
This eable in law, played a major role in the poison doctor, Mr Percy's trial It was he who altered the sentence of execution by hanging to a reprieve, and the reasons he provided were so adequate that he had the Ministers of Justice all nodding their heads in agreeedly been involved in 49soed to live his days carefree
Until one day, a baron named Thoeneral, Marquis Van Earl reconsider his relationshi+p with Mr Percy In reality, the attorney general accepted the baron's suggestion after little thought, and the reason was as simple as that - The baron knew about his dirty laundry, and if he refused to cooperate with hi that he had worked so hard for would perish So, the attorney general initiatively applied to get sent to Daathered sixty over people in the expedition teah he did not know any of them
Da capital district Its wealth and prosperity in the titan E the top feever, all of this could not be found anywhere in Daa's city caer be verified But soa's prison still exists, then Daa will never see the day of prosperity No citizen would willingly stay in a city filled with gallows and passing vehicles carrying prisoners
Daa housed the most vicious and ruthless criminals, and the whole Empire's worst people were yet to arrive here So the security in Dauard's cavalry had the whole area of the prison city that was not more than ten kilometers, surrounded Moreover, they even had a's citizens And so, the most sinister prison in the west land had never had any incidents of successful escape or revolt recorded; and this had nothing to do with the warden's brilliant leadershi+p skills The prisoners chose to obediently remain in prison with the sole reason of survival Escape or revolt would only result in one outcoht as well live
The carriage carrying O'Neil Andrew Morisette stopped in the suburbs of the warden's official residence Two fore doors Little Oscar unwillingly jue In all those years, it was his first tie; the previous tihtly modified prisoner's vehicle
”O'Neil Andrew Morisette and Madame Antonia Horman has arrived!” the door attendant announced the arrival of the two honored guests
The warden Lieutenant General Moranzo Hanning already stood by the door in welcome He appeared a little flustered; at such a critical uests with senseless small talk
”Welco exclai a hideous smile
Oscar grudgingly patted the Lieutenant General's shoulder, and this gesture, in the eyes of others, appeared as if an elderly otten hih the people were soer's rudeness, but having seen that, for the whole evening the Lieutenant General was on edge they were slightly happier, and they started to develop soer
After Antonia bid farewell to Oscar and the Lieutenant General, she walked towards a group of ladies she ell acquainted with
And Oscar, being personally led by the Lieutenant General, entered an exquisitely furnished parlor While adn fronant That delicate Persian carpet, silver alcohol stove, the Celadon tea set from the Far East, and also the enormous sofa that rapped with a full polar bear skin This was insane, a room that was barely even thirty square old pieces The Lieutenant General who had accepted bribes fro room was comparable to that of the palace court Oscar's voice became cold
”Moranzo, where are the people I want to see? Don't tell me you failed to notice that I have no interest whatsoever in your living room?”
The Lieutenant General was obviously a little stunned by the cold, conteht eht moment
”Oh! Yes! How ignorant of me The Imperial envoy was occupied by some of the ladies, but he and his assistant should be here shortly! Perhaps you would like a drink? How does soinal rum?”
Oscar was slightly infuriated by the Lieutenant General's flattery Is that wretched original rum only accessible to the rank of Lieutenant General? Even His Majesty the Eet those few bottles
The stout and not so tall Oscar lay down on the enormous sofa that wouldsofa was entirely designed based on the e, plus the sofa rapped in a precious, purely white, fully grown polar bear's skin, and it made little Oscar take quite a fancy to it as soon as he entered the room
The Lieutenant general felt a little aard He ell aware that the little young master knew his stuff when it cas, but he did not expect that he would so naturally take his place at his own seat However, after soht, he chose to sit quietly on the chair at the side After all, Oscar was the one with the leading role here; while he hi role that Oscar had no choice but to tolerate with
The Lieutenant General's every reaction could not escape Oscar's eyes As for seeing Mr Earl, as alreadyexceptionally inti away beside hihtened In order to allow the intimidated Lieutenant General to be able to act more naturally, he tried to find a topic of interest As for his social skills, having had the talented liar, Ricky as his mentor, Oscar had already surpassed his teacher at an early age
Finally, the tworooeneral stood up to welcoroup that somewhat knew each other took their seats one after another Their politeness in speech and pleasant demeanor showed that these four entle to discuss then after htered
The Lieutenant General ordered his confidential secretary to lead a tea roouards would not hesitate to kill The safety of these great men orth their lives
The delicate, co room fell into silence Once the door closed, the four men chose to reeneral, Van Earl was happily calculating how a prison's ranking officer was debating hoould hide his crimes from the Imperial envoy He was yet to know that the two men from Dulin were in the sa up the teenager as the previous titan underworld's Godfather, nicknamed ”Balance” Brother Balance spent a fortune just to save his clan, so if he were to die for him, it would not be considered too extreme
Oscar had received professional and strict training in psychoanalysis Although the things he could tell from the eyes of those fewithin his grasp He was ready to speak
”My respected gentle my brothers and I an opportunity of rebirth This opportunity so i So, during this last moment, I hope that each and every one of you could reconsider, regarding the Ea prison is about to experience a string of nightmarish misfortunes Are you sure about your decision?”
The Attorney General used an alard O'Neil Andrew Morisette, and the look he gave him was as if he was not even a member of the Ministry of Justice In reality, he was obviously thinking that this child asthe attitudes of underworld lords was a bit a Thomas Aulet the Baron was always a man of feords He pursed his lips Let the Ministry of Justice suffer His hatred for the Ministry of Justice definitely did not pale in co, our Lieutenant General, Daa prison's warden, was utterly stunned! His lips turned blue, his shoulders and ar, and it looked as if he was about to have a stroke
Yes, the Lieutenant General could hardly believe, and honestly speaking it was difficult for anyone to believe The Imperial envoy, authorized by His Majesty the Emperor was not here to supervise his work, but to teach him corruption However, the Lieutenant General i he overlooked He tried to calm his heart that felt as if it was about to burst Ah! daht! That fat bastard was trying to do somovement that he did not know about!
”Uhh… Please… Please forgivehappened too fast It's as if my worries were excessive But could someone tell me, ould become of my prison?”
Seeing Moranzo's rage, unwillingness and huh He could finally rid himself of this fellow
”Oh! I apologize, our distinguished Lieutenant General, but I'd have to correct you Daer yours His Majesty the Emperor has approved your request for rest, and so has appointed Mr Attorney General as the te warden hoped that he could announce His Majesty the Emperor's issue of this order for you in public” Thomas Aulet the Baron answered Moranzo's question coldly
When Moranzo saw the Attorney General's slightly startled expression and at a loss for words, he understood He had been abandoned That fat bastard had already abandoned hio Since he could attain the role of Attorney General, a prestigious role in the Ministry of Justice, was there anything that could stop him? He himself was only a ho had been exploited to thefor hiht about the various methods the fat bastard usually used to kill He wanted to faint, but instead, he felt more alert than ever before
Oscar soh he despised the Lieutenant General of the I had been a great help to hia the only person who had truly protected him was this man Oscar was never a person who betrayed those who had helped him and his spirit, which was like a balance, was already well known
”Moranzo! My dear Moranzo, I a your heart But do you really think that that will happen to you?” Oscar tried to be friendly and good-natured
”Perhaps you wouldn't believe me, but all this while, I have always looked up to you as er needs you, but you will always receive e su Neil's lake”
Moranzo was like that, regarding O'Neil Andrew Morisette's promise; he was more concerned about the pension and the manor located in one of the famous tourist hotspots He knew that if Oscar could describe it as ”Exceptionally generous” then it would definitely be that He really no longer wanted the position as warden Oscar also spoke very clearly, so what else is there left for him to complain about? This outcome was already better than what he had hoped for
