Rise of the Lord of Mount and Blade

“Take me into your castle. I want to meet your lord in person. Otherwise, your lord’s heir will do.”

At Richard’s request , Kris still led him into the castle, but before entering the castle, Kris said that Baron needs to be quiet enough during his illness. All the soldiers Richard brought in will make a noise. For Baron’s health, let Richard brought in fewer people.

Since his reasons were reasonable and reasonable, Richard thought about it and agreed to let the four of Walter Jr., Phyllis, Ellymp and Herbert walk with him.

After entering the castle, Kris asked the guards to disband voluntarily and continued to lead the Richard entire group to the main castle. At this moment, Phyllis, who was behind Richard, suddenly took a step forward. Walked to Richard’s side and whispered to him:

“My lord, there is something wrong with the guards.”

“en?” Richard glanced at him and motioned for him to continue. Go down.

“They were still behind us after they were disbanded. Although they deliberately concealed their whereabouts, they were still noticed by me.” Phyllis whispered, and as his voice fell, Richard also slightly Turning his head sideways, he looked towards the dim corridor behind him with a peripheral light. With the faint firelight, he could see a few flashing black shadows.

“Don’t say anything, and see what they want to do.”

Richard ordered Phyllis, and at this moment, Kris in front of him suddenly slowed down. Turning his head and looking towards Richard, Phyllis reacted faster than him. Before he looked towards here, he left Richard’s side first, and continued to stay half a step behind him. Kris saw that everything was no different. When I heard it wrong, I continued to speed up.

“Good risk…”

Richard secretly said in one’s heart, and at the same time, he also determined that there might be something strange in it.

……

“cough cough cough ……”

Listening to the weak coughing from time to time in the room behind the door, Richard saw Opal The heir to Baron Copperfield Peters is his 17-year-old second son, Strong Peters.

This eldest brother died an untimely death and got the right to inherit the young man also looks very haggard at this time, his face is pale, his cheekbones are prominent, the dark circles under his eyes are dark in color, but he still smiles strongly. , And salute Richard respectfully.

“Master Viscount, father has a very serious tuberculosis. In order to prevent you from being infected, please don’t go in and check it.” He said.

“I heard Kreis Knight say that you had hired a well-trained doctor for treatment yesterday. What did the doctor say?” Although he knew that the doctor would not give any useful answers, Richard Still knowingly asked.

I don’t know if it is an illusion. Strong always feels that Richard bites hard when he says “a well-trained doctor”, which makes him vaguely feel that Richard is mocking himself.

Richard: You guessed it right, I was mocking you.

“The doctor didn’t say anything, but looking at him like that, he won’t get better in a short time.”

“Oh, may God bless him.” Richard drew a picture on his forehead. Cross, make a Siphos prayer gesture, and say so.

After finishing speaking, he changed his conversation and said: “Since Copperfield Baron is seriously ill and bedridden, the affairs of the territory cannot be left unattended, Strong, who is the government affairs of Opal now? Dealing with it?”

“The butler Gold is mainly dealing with it, but I will also take care of some of the more important things.” Strong replied.

“so that’s how it is.” Richard nodded, but then he remembered another question: “Since Copperfield Baron is so seriously ill, why don’t you send someone to Fort Loffey to report? “

“This…” Strong hesitated, then shook his head and said: “I don’t know this. Maybe it is the steward Gould who is busy with territorial affairs, forget about it.”

“Forgot?” Richard sneered, “I can forget such an important thing. I doubt Gould’s ability. Call him over. I will ask him personally.”

“Understood.”

Strong quickly agreed and asked Kreis Knight to call the butler over. After the latter turned and left, Richard observed again without a trace. The corridor he was in was all around, and found that at the corner not far behind him, a shadow suddenly moved, but it quickly returned to calm again, like nothing happened. Richard’s heart sinks slightly, worried that something will happen next.

In less than five minutes, Kris hurried over with a man in a black robe.

The man’s figure is slightly fat, and it looks like he should be over half a hundred years old. He is stepping on the same sharp horn boots of the butler of Earl Leonard. He is not at all, like everyone else’s hair wrapped in a headscarf. Instead, the bald head that can reflect the surrounding fire is exposed.

Seeing Richard and Strong, Gould, who had been told by Kreis on the way to come, saluted the two of them separately. He behaved dignifiedly and did not panic at all, even in the face. He didn’t show his cowardice to the Viscount who came to Xingshi to inquire about his crimes.

Seeing him like this, Richard brows slightly wrinkle, and then quickly unfolded. He guessed that the middle-aged man in front of him is probably the most suspicious, and he can guess how much he has such an attitude towards the lord. Some, then, asked Gould, “Gould, why didn’t you send someone to the Fort Loffey to report to me during the days when Copperfield Baron was seriously ill?”

“Because it is not necessary, Viscount Lord.” Gould smiled and replied.

“No need?” Before Richard could speak, Strong, standing beside him, frowned and asked, “What do you mean? My father is seriously ill. As a vassal, Isn’t it right for Feng Jun to report this?”

“Can’t you see it? My dear Young Master.” Gold ignored Strong’s obvious dissatisfaction, his face His smile grew stronger, but it seemed to others to be ridiculous: “Master Baron will soon return to heaven. Who cares about a dying person? Oh! I think only you as his heir I will care about it.”

“What are you talking about?” When Strong heard that he dared to say something offensive to the nobleman, his body trembled with anger and a cold sweat broke out, and said angrily: “Gold, Even if you are a servant who has worked for our family for more than 30 years, you are just a lowly servant that’s all! Don’t think that you can surpass the nobles!”

“Oh, I don’t want to surpass you The status.” Gold sneered disdainfully, and then said: “I just want to completely replace your status, just in front of Viscount Blatai, put your whole family to death and become the new Opal Baron.”

“oh?”

Richard looked at Gould who was ranting with interest, and couldn’t help but let out an oh.
