Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

It never hurts. Literally a very light touch. But it does give me an extreme sense of contempt.

Lycaen moves slowly through the bars that are touching his head.

“I don't need to know who we are!”

“Deo, what the hell do you want? ”

“I think you'd better keep your mouth shut!”

“As much as I want.... ”

“Shut up, you pervert! ”

Baaaak!

Leon's light-swielding fist knocks him unconscious.

Lycaen pointed at the Feron, holding the stunned Leon on his shoulder, and told Wolf.

“Take him and get well soon. ”

“Yes!”

“Ugh!"

Razor Leon opens his eyes, groaning in a daze, feeling his vision too dim and moving his hands to rub his eyes.

“Ugh!”

But my hands don't move. No, it wasn't just my hands. My whole body doesn't move. And something tied around my mouth seemed to be gnashing no matter how much I thought about it.

‘Ey, what is this? ’

Since I couldn't move my body, all I could do to clear my blurred vision was to blink my eyes.

“Ugh!"

The first thing that provoked Leon's eyesore for a long time was the painful pain of the right index finger. And from the beginning of the pain, the blurred memory came back completely.

The guy in the mask! He made me...... ’

And then my eyes cleared. At the same time, his eyes widen to the size of a torch.

"No!"

It was a familiar face. He should be dead by then.

Rotes Bowen! ’

Marquis Leon felt strangely calm, perhaps because he saw the familiar face. And then I noticed Rothes' situation.

His whole torso is tied tightly with his arms turned behind his back. He also knelt on his knees and called his thighs and calves all together, making them unable to move. Not only that, the rope tied to the shoulders of your torso can't fall sideways from the ceiling. The last piece of muzzle I wore prevented me from speaking.

Leon saw that he was knee-deep in the exact same shape as Rothes in front of him.

I can't speak. I can't move. Rothes stares at the bird with surprised eyes and doesn't seem to be able to do anything.

Where the hell am I? ’

When he opened his eyes in a strange place, he finally rolled his eyes to the first question that popped into his head.

It was a small room made of bricks. There was a blockage all around, and there was a candle burning on one side, faintly illuminating the room.

Suddenly, I hear someone's voice behind me.

“Are you awake now, little Leon? ”

And with a slow footstep, the owner of the voice stands beside Birch Leon and Rothes. As Duke Leon looks up, he is also the masked man who attacked him.

“Oeus Suai.... ”

You try to say something, but the biting wind scatters your pronunciation.

“Ah, Leon, you don't have to say it. I'll talk to him. ”

Baron stared at the masked man with a murderous glance, but the one who is in the top position here is this masked man.

“Let me briefly explain why you're here. You touched a place you shouldn't have touched. Earl Frost. If we hadn't caught this guy last night, it would have been hard to figure out. ”

Duke Leon's gaze is on Rothes. I think I can see why Rothes should already be dead. Plus, that's why the guy who was watching him got cut off.

The story of the masked man continued.

“Repeatedly, Earl Frost is a family under our protection. So we don't want to do anything wrong with some crappy way of counterfeiting borrowings. Huh?”

That said, Leon had no choice but to make a blank face. Who the hell is this guy and what kind of people protect Earl Frost? But the important thing is that their strength is not so great.

While Birch Leon was thinking that, what the masked man took out was a piece of paper. Earl Leon was the lender for the problem that he showed to Earl Procurus.

“I wanted to take this and watch you starve... but I guess this loan has already been certified, right? ”

The administrative unit of the Kingdom of Bren is divided into several states, of which there are at least five, six and at most ten territories.

In one state, the so-called "Lord Baek" was the royal territory, and the king gave the title of "Lord Baron" to the noble who had only title and no territory to administer it.

The Lord Earl is responsible for managing the territory that will serve as the king, walking taxes on the territory that belongs to the state, and gathering an army in the exhibition.

But most importantly, it is to monitor the nobles in the state. It was an administrative policy to suppress the power of the nobles and strengthen the throne.

The archipelago was originally designed to effectively rule vast territories in the Gronis Empire, and most of the kingdoms of the continent now use similar administrative units when the kings of each kingdom saw the effect of adopting the archipelago for the purpose of strengthening the throne.

Anyway, one of the things that such barons do is resolve disputes among nobles. And as part of that is notarized.

If you bring a document that you think a nobleman in the state needs to keep as a record, you can confirm the authenticity of the document and record it.

If so, even if the document is lost or corrupted, it can be proven by the records in Zhou Xian.

As Leon, what to do, he nods slowly.

The masked man folds the car and pushes it into his own pocket.

“By the way... I think we need to make the same thing to protect Earl Frost. ”

Then the masked man picks out two pieces of paper and sticks them out in front of the log. His eyes widened when he saw the writing on the paper.

Borrowing.

The name of the lender is not listed, but the lender is by Leon himself. And that's 30 million Argents. That was ten times the amount of borrowing he faked.

“Now, just stamp your seal here and you'll get the right kind of borrowing. And deliver this loan to Earl Frost. Wouldn't that make things interesting? ”

“Ugh, ugh! ”

Baron tries to say something with an urgent look on his face, but his voice still dissipates. The masked man laughs in a low voice as if he were enjoying the appearance of Leon himself.

“Hehehe, don't you love it too much? But it's not too late to like it. There's still one chapter left. ”

That said, the masked man took out another piece of paper.

“Hmm?"

Birch Leon glances at the paper with a look on his face. There was nothing written on the other piece of paper that the masked man gave out.

Birch Leon's gaze was naturally directed at the masked man. What the hell is this look? And the masked man was surprisingly kind enough to explain.

“It's called blank paper. If I just stamp your seal on this piece of paper... Can I write something down? ”

“Ugh!”

Birch Leon stares at the white paper with a puzzling look on his face. I couldn't understand how this happened.

However, the masked man slowly turned his back on his own steps, as if his thoughts had nothing to do with it.

You feel the masked man holding his hand with him.

Damn it! ’

A ring with a thick jeweled egg worn by Leon's birthmark that the masked hand slowly stutters and grabs.

It was nothing but the seal of Leon's Birch.

A Seal is a proof that the nobleman made a document as long as it is stamped. Since it was such an important item, many lords used different ways to store and manage seals.

Among them, how to use it in the writer Leon is to make it into a ring. Because if you do, you won't get stolen or lost. Who wants to raid the nobles who are always being escorted and take the ring from them?

Of course, the masked man killed all those escorts and abducted himself.

Tsk, tsk, tsk!

As the wax melts, the sound of droplets falling on the paper is too loud. But all Leon can do now is groan with his jaw-bitten mouth.

Despite the enormous work that might have cost him everything, the series ended too quickly and in vain.

“Thank you.”

The masked man waves two pieces of paper in front of his eyes. Two documents that have not yet been smelled of melted wax.

“Ugh, ugh! ”

Suddenly, the masked man unties the muzzle on Leon's mouth.

“What the hell are you? ”

“Didn't I tell you? They're protecting Earl Frost. Well, it doesn't matter if you don't want to. I'm gonna get eaten up by fish anyway! ”

What? What? What the hell does that mean? ’

Even though Prince Leon understood what it meant, he could not find any meaning. That's a shocking story.

“In the meantime, I suggest you get some sleep. ”

As soon as Leon raised his head in the voice of the masked man, he was already slapping Leon on the back of his neck.

Lycaen, the masked man who confirmed that Birch Leon fainted, untied the muzzle on Rothes' mouth.

“Good work.”

Rothes said in an urgent voice.
