160 Meeting part 2 (1/2)

8th May 1574

”This town lies within the province that I'm the governor off. As you ruled over it previously, you should know that getting crown's approval is just an annoying formality, left after the ancient times!”

In an instant, Jan took over the entire discussion sending hate-filled looks towards Peter. Since I had no idea what they were talking about as the details of governing the province wasn't something that I could learn from history books or games I played, I could only sit and watch as they argued amongst each other.

”But it's still a requirement! Now, are you going to play tough, or should I revoke all the decisions made in this document?”

Hearing those words, the atmosphere in the room suddenly turned tense. If Bart's name got cleaned of infamy and his banishment revoked, that would basically mean war! And not one between him and my like it happened before, but between me and the entire Zboros family!

”Sir Peter, I don't think you want to make me go for the extra length of assuring that this document will remain legit. Bart, whose name is written in this document, lost over a hundred elite cavalry while trying to kidnap my wife and kill me and my people. I would like to remind everyone gathered that while I gave up the weapons that proved capable of giving me this victory, I have more means than necessary to make quite a lot more of them.”

While my words were clearly threatening, I made sure to form them in a way that would make it impossible for anyone to accuse me of making any actual threats. Thanks to this, while the message was passed, I should be safe from any possible repercussions of using such an aggressive tone towards the commonwealth official.

”Miracle weapon? Now you are making me curious. Especially with how are you going to use them against the representative of the commonwealth!”

Sadly, Peter's words proved that it wasn't that easy to force him into obedience. But I would never be able to save my face if a modern man like me couldn't overcome such a puny obstacle!

”Use them against our dear commonwealth representative? Sir brother, accusing someone of treason and banditry fitting the name of the man you are willing to spare is more than enough for me to give you a field right now!”

While I started on a high horse by mentioning my duel, rather than firing myself up even more and insisting on it, I simply smiled and continued.
