194. Thief
After informing the attendant, he would enter the outer hall to clean up after an hour.
Fuztel left the banquet hall with Abt.
"I'm sorry, I can't help you..." Abt apologized.
"No need to apologize. Feldra is a more troublesome person than you thought. After hearing those words, it's natural that you can't do what I'm asked to do, but at least... you're still on my side."
After Feldra's threat, it was difficult for Abt to assist Fuztel, but he showed his support with actions. By staying by Fuztel's side, he could passively protect him, like
It was like a counterattack. Otherwise, based on his understanding of Feldera, it would be impossible to carry out an assassination move. But Abt's action of staying around him made Feldera give up this move, and even the person who was originally sent to monitor him
Everyone has been transferred.
This is an invisible help.
Makes it easier for Fuzdiel to handle things.
"Aren't you worried about the things at the slave house?" Foztel asked.
"Worried." Abt replied sincerely, "I have asked my subordinates to start investigating. I believe in their ability. In addition, Her Royal Highness the Princess needs your help for her return."
"But I don't have the upper hand, do I?" Fuzdiel said.
Abt also understood the meaning of this sentence.
"Originally, I was hesitant," Abt replied honestly.
There are two heirs in Duke Tobias Ridge. This is the news that he knew as soon as he came. Being loyal to the Kingdom of Bana, he must choose an heir who is better than His Royal Highness the Princess. His Royal Highness the King, who is critically ill, gave instructions on the bed.
It's "Marriage is possible"... Even if you agree to Fuztel, it doesn't mean how long the agreement will last. That's how it is.
"But after listening to that person's words, I feel... there is no choice left. A person who can use orcs to attack his homeland is definitely not a kind person."
This was his judgment and the reason why he continued to follow Fuztel.
"That's it...it turns out that the kindness that Teacher Feldra said was criticized still has its benefits." Fuztel laughed at himself.
"The great king of Bana is famous for his kindness."
"Then what kind of monarch can be considered a benevolent monarch for the common people in the territory?"
Fuztel's question made Abt stunned.
He is just a soldier and has never thought about such problems at all.
Seeing Abt's solution, Fuzdiel said: "Actually, this is a very simple question, and the requirements are far lower than you think. Have you heard of Count Qikala?"
"Vampire.. Count?"
"A very famous drama, but in fact it is adapted from a true story, which is recorded in the secrets of some kingdoms. In the story, Count Chikara is a nobleman who became a count through military exploits. He is actually a vampire.
, likes to eat the blood of human girls. But the truth of the matter is that the Earl family where Qi Kaila belongs is a family with a long tradition, and Qi Kaila is not condemned by others, on the contrary, he is loved, and the only thing that is not wrong is that
, because he likes to eat girls’ blood.”
"this.."
"How is that possible? That's what you want to say. For the common people, a lord who can bring them enough food is a benevolent monarch. A lord who can remember to remind his subjects to eat when eating is a kind king.
Even though they don’t even have food to eat, don’t you think it’s incredible?”
Abbot nodded.
Fuzdiel continued: "Count Chikara, who likes blood, is different from other lords. He doesn't like treasures. He even shared part of the treasures he obtained with the people of the territory, reducing their land rent, so he was affected by it.
He was loved by the people, and some people even took the initiative to offer their daughters to him. Different from the story in the drama, Qi Kela did not kill those girls, but only took part of the blood. At that time, they were even called "red roses"
Describe those lucky girls whose blood was taken away."
"It was only later that after the fall of his earl family, the opposing nobles asked the bards to write plays to discredit the glory they once had."
"A noble with such a hobby can be called a benevolent monarch, so I say... the requirements are far lower than you think. The king of Bana also has a secret history that has not been recorded. He once... abandoned an entire
Let the citizens of the city die between the sharp edges of the sword."
Abbot was silent.
He did not refute because he was worried that he would not be able to refute.
"..What do you want to say?"
"Let me tell you... I'm not a kind person either. The word kindness is ridiculous to me... I don't want to put on a disguise and be betrayed by others until it's exposed." Fuzteler said.
He said, "I'm not that powerful. Things that my father and my brother can see through at a glance take me days or even months. All I can do is think clumsily. That's it."
Struggling forward, my brother can do whatever I can do, and my father has already done what I can't do... Sometimes I feel that I am a superfluous existence. I once thought about giving up, but found out.
.My brother has already raised a dagger and put it on my neck."
"I don't want to die..." Fuztel said softly.
His tone was very soft, so soft that he seemed to stop breathing at any moment.
His handsome face revealed sadness.
"I can only climb forward from the trench of hell like my father's puppet..."
"I'm telling you this... I just want to know if I can believe you?"
"I said, there is no choice..." Abt responded with this answer.
The attendant responsible for cleaning the outer hall, in accordance with Master Fuztel's request, entered the outer hall after another hour.
But the scene before them was beyond their expectations.
The table where the food was placed was in a mess, as if it had been visited by beggars who had been hungry for ten or eight days.
Is it possible that the dining postures of nobles are so "elegant"?
This made the attendants suspicious, but they soon discovered another problem.
"Yao Shou! The outer hall was robbed!"
The bright and dazzling gems on the wall were completely gone, leaving only a dark void.
Even the silver plates on which the food was placed and the tablecloths with gold threads were taken away.
The gifts that were originally delivered to Archduke Tobias for his birthday party were also attacked by vicious hands. They were opened one after another. Some relatively cheap things were miserably discarded directly on the ground, and other valuable things disappeared.
Already.
