Chapter 38:

“Mokto, I have to rely on you this time.”

The man patted Mokto’s shoulder. “You have to create a conflict between the two parties. It’s best if you start a war right away. Then the whole Upper Green Forest will welcome the return of the original owner!”

“Yes, after I become the new lord, I’ll marry Monica to you and make you the lord of the Emerald Territory!”

“I’m ready to serve you!”

Mokto clenched his fists, the flames of ambition burning in his eyes.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

Indeed, the Davis family should be the ones to rule the Upper Green Forest!

...

Blackstone Manor, main gate.

Out of courtesy, Aaron wore formal attire and stood at the main gate to greet them.

Soon a carriage appeared at the end of the road and approached.

“Lord Aaron, you are too polite.”

Knight Iman dismounted and shook Aaron’s hand.

“Welcome to my manor,” Aaron replied politely.

Knight Iman helped a young lady down from the carriage. “Allow me to introduce you to the brightest pearl of the Green Forest, my daughter – Monica!”

“Hello, beautiful lady.”

“Good day, sir.” Monica looked at Aaron’s handsome face and a blush came to her cheeks. She was no longer so resistant to her family’s arrangements.

“This is my student – Mokto!”

Knight Iman continued to introduce a young man.

“Yes.”

Aaron became much more reserved. He nodded and walked over.

Although the other party seemed to be good at martial arts, that was all there was to it.

What puzzled him was that the other party’s heartbeat and other physical signs could be heard in the breeze. He was a bit too excited.

He hid it well, but it wasn’t as if he was meeting an earl. Is that necessary...

He immediately became more attentive. He sensed the condition of the others in the convoy, and led Knight Iman into the manor.

In the living room, the kitchen maids were serving sweet honey water and milk pudding.

“Please don’t stand during the ceremony. Try my invention.”

Aaron shoveled a spoonful of pudding into his mouth. It was Ginny’s favourite dessert. Unfortunately, she despised the castle’s cook for not being able to make it well.

“Why do you want to kill me?”

The next moment, Aaron said this with a sneer. He didn’t care about evidence. In his territory, he was the law. He could arrest, interrogate and even kill people just because he suspected them!

“What?”

Iman’s expression changed again. He saw the wild look on Mokto’s face as he drew the sword at his waist.

Unfortunately, he was one step too late.

Puff!

There was a flash of light, A slender sword sliced through Mokto’s right chest, piercing his lung.

“Mokto...Ah”

Monica screamed as she watched Mokto fall to the ground.

Knight Iman stared at Aaron in shock. Mokto was his prized pupil and had even surpassed him in physical strength. He lacked a little experience, but he was still one of the best in the tournament.

But now he had been defeated in a single move.

Although there were other factors, Lord Aaron’s martial arts were not to be underestimated.

“Knight Iman...”

Aaron took out a snow-white handkerchief and gently wiped the sword. He asked casually, “Do you know anything about this?”

Aaron took out a snow-white handkerchief and gently wiped the sword. He asked casually, “Do you know about this matter?”

Knight Iman’s face was covered in cold sweat. He understood that he was involved in a huge conspiracy.

Judging by Mokto’s expression and actions, he was indeed the mastermind behind the assassination, and this would undoubtedly implicate himself.

As a surrender, doing such a thing at such a sensitive time could even lead to a crusade!

“I swear on my life, I know nothing of this!”

Knight Iman made a quick decision. He knelt on the ground and slowly pulled out his sword. Together with the scabbard, he presented it to Aaron with both hands.

“Of course. I believe in you completely.”

Aaron did not accept. To completely take away a knight’s weapon was an insult.

Besides, he had already confirmed Iman’s loyalty with his abilities. He was certain that the knight was innocent.

“Eight Fingers, invite Knight Iman and Miss Monica to rest in the guest room. Search the servants. We cannot let the bandit who infiltrated the convoy succeed.”

He said with a smile.

“Thank you for your kindness. Your wisdom is the best I have seen in my life.”

Knight Iman stood up and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this lord still trusted him.
