Chapter 132.2: Enemy of Enemy (1)

In childhood, one received education from hired tutors or trained elsewhere.

As one aged, the heir received their own title and took their first step as a ruler. From then on, they only awaited their parents remaining titles with covetousness.

Hoping for a strong familial bond in such a process was an unreasonable expectation.

In fact, Johans behavior towards Amien was surprisingly friendly, much kinder than the usual count.

Why? Are you worried Amien might hate you?

H-How do you always read my thoughts?

I didnt expect to guess right. Maybe youre just too easy to read.

??

Iselia was flustered. She had never heard such a thing before.

Amien respects you more than you think, so dont worry unnecessarily.

Is that true. . .?

I heard it myself, so it must be true.

She said that? To you?

Yes. So just accept this.

Receiving the sword Johan handed her, Iselia tilted her head in confusion. The sword, from the marquis castle, was unusually sharp, seemingly of Eastern origin.

Wouldnt it be better to give it directly to Amien?

Its not for Amien, its a gift for you, Iselia. Since you didnt take anything from the castle.

. . .!

Johan smiled and caressed Iselias cheek, then casually spurred his horse forward. The other knights cheered as Johan rode towards them.

Your Excellency.

?

I came like this because there might be prying eyes inside.

Speak. I am listening.

As the priest of the order approached on horseback, Johan looked puzzled.

Currently, the vicinity was noisy with the pursuit of the marquis. Even Johan himself was running around the area, eradicating the remnants of pirates and searching.

Amidst this, an envoy from Viscount Ginolen arrived. The envoy was also pale due to recent events.

. . !

. . . ?

! ? . . . .

The envoy was desperate.

Everyone thought the marquis would hold out, but he collapsed. The viscounts fiefdom was also in a state of panic.

The Emperor may have abandoned the marquis, but he didnt expect this outcome.

If we smuggle out the marquis. . .

It will be a check. They will aim again with support from the Empire.

Hmm.

The bribe offered by the viscounts envoy was tempting, but smuggling out the marquis seemed an easy way to make a significant impact

Lets make a decision. It seems we are all in agreement.

. . .Fine. If the marquiss family escapes, we will secretly send a ship to the Empire.

Thank you! Thank you!

The envoy sighed in relief and exclaimed. Now, all that remained was for the marquiss family to escape. The area was thoroughly searched, but the marquiss family had deep roots in the vicinity.

They were not only knowledgeable about the geography but also had many who would hide them. Surely, they could escape.

The marquis has been captured!!

What???!!

.

Johan looked at the marquis with pity. The marquis was already a cold corpse. The vassals who found him immediately killed the marquis and his family.

From their perspective, if the marquis was proven innocent in a trial, it would be their end.

The village chief of the town where he was hiding informed us through a serf.

Well done. Give them a reward.

The marquis believed in his status and authority. Even though he was fleeing and had lost soldiers, he was confident that the serfs and village chiefs who had been under his family for a long time would not betray him.

However, that was the marquiss misconception. Had he known how much Johan had taken control of the area during his confinement, he would never have done so.
