125 Dealing with the Nobles (2/2)
”Just call me Don”
Before even Nikalas could open his mouth Don said because he knew that Nikalas was wondering how to address him
”Ok Don, about the”
”You held your end of the deal, so will I. If the dungeon has that elixir, I will bring it to you”
”Thanks Don, it really means a lot to me”
”We'll talk more about the dungeon when I get back”
”Don't work too hard Prince, go fishing with the dwarves or do something to relax”
As she said, Arrora stepped into the array with Don and disappeared into the light beam.
”Shit I didn't tell them about the changes I made”
************************************
”Well that's new”
Unexpectedly, the usual white light beam did not appear when they used the teleporter as Don and Arrora appeared inside the Agorian castle without any commotion of the light beam and sound.
”The Prince already proved his worth, how can Harold not see or appreciate his talent?”
”Some people don't appreciate what they have before it turns into what they had” Arrora agreed with Don with a nod
”And by the way, black suits you well”
Even though Don looked good in the formal noble clothes in Arrora's eyes, he looked better in his usual black attire with the hood on. And the black sword on his back radiated a powerful aura around him.
”Let's go see the nobles in Agoria”
Leaving the room where he was teleported, Don headed towards the throne hall and when he reached there, he saw Lord Clemo sitting there and waiting for him with a bunch of noblemen and women.
Seeing Don entering the hall, everyone stood up from their seats and bowed towards Don as he nodded and sat on his throne.
”Sit down”
”Your majesty, this is”
As Lord Clemo went to introduce the noble beside him, Don stopped him with a wave of his hand
”I speak, you listen. If you interrupt me, she will break your nose as a warning. Got it?”
Lord Clemo had a bad feeling about this as he nodded his head so the nobles.
”From now on, there won't be any nobles in my Kingdom. Everyone will be treated as a normal citizen ”
”WHAT? AH!”
A noble youth shouted when he heard Don but before he could close his mouth, he felt something heavy hitting his face and heard a crunching noise before he started to scream in agony
Witnessing what just happened to the young man, the other nobles kept their mouths shut even though they wanted to shout in disagreement
”Don't try to do anything stupid behind my back, I'm not a good man, I don't look for evidence or give you a fair trial when you get caught. If I get suspicious, I will kill you slowly and painfully”
Don intentionally released a murderous aura as the nobles felt a cold chill running through their spines and some of them even started to shiver, sensing the ominous aura in the hall.
”That's all for now”
The nobles wanted to talk to Don about stripping their title but the murderous aura he was still releasing wanted to get out of his sight before he does something crazy.
”You stay, Lord Clemo”
Lord Clemo's heart skipped a beat when he heard Don calling his name and asking him to stay
”Tell me Lord Clemo, have you ever committed any crimes that are usually punishable by death or years of imprisonment?”
”No no no your majesty, I didn't dare to”
”Don't try to lie Lord Clemo, if you come clean now, I might forgive you”
Lord Clemo was on the verge of wetting his pants again as he started to shake his head
”No your majesty, I swore on my mother's grave, I didn't commit any big crimes until now”
”Big crimes?so you did commit smaller ones, tell me what did you do?”
Looking at Don's stare, Lord Clemo couldn't help but spill the beans hoping that he wouldn't get killed because the crime he committed was not punishable by death or even years imprisonment
”Your majesty, I once procured some lands from a farmer…”Lord Clemo swallowed his saliva in fear as he continued
” by forcing him to sell the lands to me, and that's it, your majesty.I never committed anything other than that”
