Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Chapter 11. Start of War (1)

“Hah! I'm glad it's over without any trouble. ”

We meet in ten days. The nobles who attended the hunt competition were confined one by one to the room of the Star Palace, and today they see each other in ten days. Earl Badell said with such a delightful face.

However, Earl Eisenhower had no choice but to make an impression on the warlock.

“Lord Badell, do you think this is all right now? ”

“Weren't they all released? Does that mean no one's accused of anything? ”

He was incarcerated for ten days, but there was no scandal, and they were all released safely.

Earl Badell rejoiced at that. But Earl Eisenhower did not think so.

“We've probably been working on evidence of the abolition for the ten days we've been trapped. ”

“Hmm? What do you mean? ”

I was so frustrated to see the Earl of Badel with a tilted head and a look on his face that he didn't know what was going on.

“Phew! I've been with this person... ”

Earl Badel was a little slow to turn his head and didn't notice, but he wasn't just listening to what he was ignoring.

“Lord Eisen! Are you ignoring me?! ”

However, Earl Eisen only walks as loud as he can after ignoring the wrath of Earl Badel. Earl Badel, who was even angrier, screams.

“Lord Eisen! ”

Earl Eisenhower pauses for a second cry and looks back.

“You'd better get back and find a way out of the capital. ”

“Why did you leave the capital? ”

“All the evidence that would turn us against each other would be perfectly prepared. ”

The one who denied it was Earl Slain.

“Lord Eisen, that seems to be a bit harsh. If His Majesty is connected to the case, you can arrest him while he's in the annuity. Why are you releasing him like this? ”

Earl Eisen twists his lip and says,

“You still don't know about the king? Perhaps he will never use his power against us first. They want us to go first, beg and obey. ”

It is also related to the nature of the king. The king may have a strong appetite for conquest, but he is not one to enjoy destruction. Pushing with force to create perfect submission. That's what the king truly enjoys. Earl Eisen had been with the King for a long time and had been able to accurately understand his personality.

Earl Eisenhower leaves the palace on a busy walk, finishing what he was about to say.

Earl Eigen returns home on his horse without a wagon. In fact, I didn't have to move so busy.

It's because if you secretly leave the outer city of Edelscht and return to your own territory, you will be able to survive as an agrarian in the castle.

Nevertheless, we had to move quickly because we had to find a way to sneak out of Edelschut. It was clear that the Royal Guard had already taken measures to keep the four earls, including themselves, out of the castle. That's why we need to find a secret route.

Then Dobell hurriedly approaches Earl Eigen.

“Earl, it would be better to surrender to the king temporarily than to leave the city. ”

Ta-da!

Earl Eisen's hands move, and Dobell's cheeks swollen in an instant.

“You fool! Hah! By the way, you're the one who came up with that monster and decided to kill Prokers with it. ”

Ta-da!

Earl Eisen, who once again raised his cheek, forcefully calmed his voice.

“Did you say temporary surrender? Are you saying this because you don't know that one surrender will last forever? ”

Dobell shakes his head.

“Once you leave the capital and return to your territory, the reverse charge of the problem becomes a ‘fact’. which is absolutely absurd. But if you go quietly to the king and bow your head, the plot will sink to sleep. ”

“What difference does it make?! ”

“Once the sin of inversion becomes‘ true ’, it cannot be reversed. Even if you go back to the castle and you farm, that's just where it ends. But once that's covered up, we have a chance to move forward. ”

However, Earl Eisenhower laughs at Dobell.

“Idiot. Don't you know by then it'll all be over? ”

Then he walked towards the door of the mansion. Thanks to my haste, I was ready sooner than I expected. Dobell's voice came back from behind her back.

“Tsk, you fool. ”

Earl Eisenhower's steps stand still.

“You bastard! What did I just say... Huff! ”

Earl Eigen's eyes turn red with a crude warlock impression.

Dobell's appearance, which he had just talked to himself, seems to be blurry, but he suddenly changed into someone else's. The despised Byron refugee.

“You, you……. ”

He looks stunned and smiles at Earl Eisen, a Byron refugee with a twisted smile.

“The one who can't teach me how and give me tools and do nothing right... …. ”

“Who are you... …. ”

“Hehehe, Dobell's been assisting you for the past two months. ”

“What! Th-then Dobell... ”

“They're buried in the wilderness somewhere. Anyway, there's nothing more for you to do. ”

“What the……. ”

Phew!

“Hic!”

Earl Eisenhower bends to a right angle and falls down. In the Earl's chest, a dagger is stuck with only a handle.

As Vermooc looks down at Earl Eisen, which is cooling off, he mutters in an expressionless voice.

“Thanks to you, the work has become a nuisance. ”

The appearance of Vermouth, who says so, is gradually changing into the appearance of Earl Eigen.

* * *

“Hmm, this is very bad. ”

Caith frowns. Lika, who was sitting across from him, also did not look good.

“Hah! Troubled family. His greed pierced the sky, and his son's wife... ”

“Filthy, petty, dirty.... ”

“It's just a working family. ”

“I see. ”

Caith leans back against the backrest and heads back. Then he sighs for a long time. When Lycaen saw that, she smiled and said.

“What the hell, just close your eyes! ”

“Are you crazy?"

“Damn, a rich man... ”

“If I have a lot of money, what's in that house? ”

“Well……. ”

Earl Gronst does more than just run a portfolio in Caventes. He also operated his own fleet and was transporting against the merchants. Yesterday, however, the top ten places demanded that the contract be terminated.

It's not common sense for ten places to come out at once on the same day like that. You have to think of it as someone's joke. And this morning, the top resident who came to terminate the contract was able to find out why.

It was Prince Breton. He called in the nobles who run the Merchant Guild and ordered them to terminate the contract. And now I've only called in the nobles' merchants' Guild, but I told them that all the General Merchants Guild would do it afterwards.

Not only that, he also insisted on using a port other than the one used by Caventes.

He's literally decided to try and kill Count Gronst's biggest source of income.

And Caith, who had heard the story, came to Lycaen in a funny way.

Lycaen, who stood still, said in a calm voice.

“Apparently... I can't stay in that house long. ”

Caith leaps up in surprise and shouts.

“Hey, hey, hey! Is that what you're saying? ”

“Well, what do you think? ”

“Son of a bitch, I'm the only one listening. If it was someone else, I'd run to the palace right now! ”

“Hehe, you're the reason I'm talking to you, asshole! ”

“Hah, you idiot! ”

Just then, Julia enters the reception hall where the two of them are sitting.

“Earl, you have a visitor. ”

You nod as if Lycaen was waiting for you.

“Tell them to come in. ”

Yulia nods and asks with a curious look on her face.

“Do you have an appointment? Then I should go... ”

“Just sit down. You should meet him sometime. ”

“Huh?"

At that time, one person entered the reception room. It was Joel. Lycaen gestures lightly.

“Hello?”

Joel tilts his head and asks, seeing a stranger together.

“Next to…? ”

“Say hello, friend. Earl Caith Gronst. ”

And I immediately said to Caith,

“That's my friend, too. His name is Joel. ”

It was Caith who spoke first.

“Greetings. It's Caith. ”

Joel pauses and opens his mouth.

“I'm Joel. ”

Lycaen made me feel comfortable and friendly somehow, but I didn't say anything easily because I knew that Caith was a nobleman from the beginning.

When Lycaen saw that, she smiled and said.

“Shit, since when do you have manners? Just because you're both my friends, you guys eat your friends. ”

And this time, Caith reacted first.

“Not a bad idea. Nice to meet you."

Then I reached out my hand and asked for a handshake. Joel also said without losing, holding his hand.

“It's Joel.”
