Chapter 1225
Episode 1225. what happened now?
Marquis Reg Evans, who was drinking wine while listening to the bardos, hesitated.
‘huh?’
I think I’m missing something, but I can’t remember what it is.
I glanced at Count Elio Lagoa, but he was eating meat with a comfortable face.
‘is not it?’
If it had anything to do with him, the words would have come out right away. Because he was the one who destroyed the sword masters of the north as well as the empire.
Still, Marquis Reg Evans, who was slowly looking around the hall, wondering if he had missed anything, stopped when he reached the knight commander, Count Bert Ponce.
Count Bert Ponce was eyeing him nervously.
‘what?’
Marquis Reg Evans turned his head to where the knight commander’s gaze was pointing.
It was a place where the passengers of the wagon were gathered.
What’s over there?
As he was about to call the knight commander to ask, he saw a woman sitting there with a bewildered face in his eyes.
‘omg! Iza Crow?’
Hanged Baron Gryan Scott and his son, made them slaves, but forgot to deal with Iza Crowe.
Marquis Reg Evans hurriedly turned to Count Helio Lagoa.
He was still preoccupied with eating – as if he had been starving for several days.
You say you can do that, but even the victim, Count Elio Lagoa, forgets about her? I’m sorry, but at the same time I was dumbfounded.
“Hum hum Count Lagoa. Have you forgotten anything?”
“Cheop Jeop Me?”
“exactly. It’s Iza Crow. Didn’t you forget while punishing the men of Baron Scott?”
“No.”
“Ah, then you’re not going to blame her?”
Could it be that she is trying to end her husband and father-in-law by enslaving them?
“It can’t be. I do not discriminate between men and women. If you commit a crime, you must be punished.”
“Then will you continue?”
Elio said as Marquis Reg Evans looked at the knight commander.
“Isn’t Viscount Crow not here? I intend to take responsibility where Viscount Crow is.”
“Ah…”
Viscount Crow is in Ignas, the royal capital.
It seems that he called Viscount Crow from there and tried to punish him like he is now.
‘It’s awful.’
Ignas has to go another day by carriage.
Until then, he said he would drag Iza Crow around like that.
Maybe it’s because he’s from a savage, so he has no consideration for nobles at all.
Nobles are punished as leniently as possible when the same noble commits a crime.
It is to show mercy because you do not know when you will be hurt.
That is why compensation is developed.
Even if they are captured by the enemy during the war, they are freed by paying money.
Don’t you know if there is a deep resentment in the family?
It is an unwritten rule that nobles do not kill nobles at all times.
However, Count Helio Lagoa had no consideration for the same nobles.
Marquis Reg Evans was about to point it out, but held back.
It was because it was unlikely that there would be a nobleman who would attack the Grand Master.
Thinking that far, Marquis Reg Evans immediately praised the opponent’s decision.
“It is a wise decision.”
“It’s not to the extent of wise.”
Elio waved his hand.
It’s not because there’s a reason, but it’s embarrassing to be called wise.
Still, Marquis Reg Evans – to the point where the thick-faced Elio noticed Count Larva Omar and Fabian – did not stop praising.
After the banquet, the passengers were assigned accommodations in the outer castle.
However, the Andrea Jeter family was guided to a guest-only accommodation in the palace.
next day.
After breakfast, Elio and his party left the castle with Marquis Legg Evans warmly sending them off.
Since meeting the Marquis, several changes have been made to the stagecoach.
The transport manager and the guards served the Elio Lagoa party with utmost care.
The Andrea Jeter family was also treated like a great aristocrat.
Unlike before, when they were stuck in the dorm, the Andrea Jeter family could move freely, and guards followed them like escorts whenever they did.
In the case of Synclair Jeter, the transport manager and the guards used honorifics at her young age.
Unlike the Andrea Jeter family, Iza Crowe has been completely forgotten.
Nobles as well as commoners did not want to be with her.
***
After a full day of driving, the carriage arrived at Ignas, the royal capital, at sunset.
It is time for the guards to lead the three wagons to the gate.
Hundreds of heavily armed cavalrymen rushed out in an orderly fashion from inside the gates.
Around the time the cavalrymen blocked the roads on the left and right, the King’s elite knights appeared.
Flags with golden lions, the symbol of the principality, filled the road in front of the castle.
Transport Director Leon Toros was not fazed by his experience in the gateway city of Odessa.
He stood still, as humble as possible, waiting for someone to come.
After a while, Count Scud Hunter, the leader of the Knights of the Principality, came running with his entourage of knights.
“I am Count Scud Hunter, Commander of the Knights of the Principality of Fatima. Who is Leon Toros?”
Leon Toros took a step forward knowing that Odessa was known.
“I am Leon Toros, Director of Transportation.”
“Take me to the place where Count Elio Lagoa is.”
“yes.”
When the incident in Odessa was repeated, Leon Toros couldn’t help but sue him inwardly.
Before long he stopped in front of the lead carriage.
For a moment, he stepped forward as if he were a subordinate of Count Elio Lagoa.
“Count Helio Lagoa, Count Scud Hunter, the commander of the Knights of the Principality of Fatima, has arrived.”
Earl Scud Hunter glanced at him curiously and dismounted.
Elio opened the window and asked, shaking his head.
“Who are you?”
Then Count Scud Hunter took a step forward and said.
“I am Count Scud Hunter, the commander of the Knights of the Principality. His Highness, Prince Katis, is looking forward to meeting Count Lagoa.”
“Is that all?”
“Yes. What else do you need?”
Surprised by the unexpected reaction, Earl Scud Hunter blinked his eyes.
Elio, who was looking at him with a sullen face, said.
“Find out with Count Bert Ponce of Odessa and come back. Mr. Toros, let’s go.”
When Elio closed the window, Leon Toros hurried back to his seat.
Before long, the three wagons quietly disappeared into the wide open city gates.
Count Scud Hunter, who was standing with a bewildered face, looked back at his adjutant.
“What happened?”
“The Count of Lagoa declined the invitation of His Highness the Prince and left.”
“so why? What’s the matter?”
“I think we should ask Count Bert Ponce of Odessa about that.”
“Oh it was.”
Count Scud Hunter belatedly remembered Count Bert Pons.
“Didn’t you say that you accepted the invitation of Marquis Reg Evans in Odessa?”
As if he hadn’t escaped the shock yet, Count Scud Hunter made a single sound.
The deputy, who was not able to see it, continued to explain step by step.
“It seems that there was some kind of deal with Count Bert Ponce. Send a magic transmission to find out before it’s too late.”
“…”
Only then did Earl Scud Hunter hurriedly climb onto the horse.
Soon, the cavalrymen and knights of the duchy lined up in front of the castle gate quickly dispersed.
Passers-by who had been pushed off the road appeared on the road one by one.
The three wagons that passed through the gates entered the history of the Stagecoach Carriage Society.
It arrived at its destination after a month and a half.
Passengers who got off the wagon left without looking back, lest anyone catch them.
It was the same with Iza Crow.
Watching Iza Crow walk away, guard Olaf muttered to himself.
“Shouldn’t I catch you so that you don’t run away?”
Then Duvalier said.
“By what authority do we? The nobles will take care of it.”
The other guards shook their heads as if they agreed.
In addition, the guard is a member of the Stagecoach Transport Association and must protect the passengers.
In other words, I was in a situation where I had to pretend I didn’t see Iza Crow.
The shivering guards moved to their offices one by one.
Elio’s group and the Andrea Jeter family also parted ways in the history of the Stagecoach Transportation Society.
The Andrea Jeter family went to the house prepared by the Coral Company, and Elio and his party searched for a temporary lodging near the station.
Fortunately, it was the city where the king lived, so it was a tavern that got caught on his feet.
Elio and his party found a room in a large and pleasant place.
It was right after Elio and the others had dinner that Count Scud Hunter, the commander of the Knights of the Principality, came to visit.
“Is it possible that what Your Excellency Count Lagoa wants is Viscount Crow?”
“Similar.”
“iced coffee! I didn’t know that, so I just wasted my time. Viscount Crow’s recruits had already been secured. More than that… I’m embarrassed to tell you something not nice.”
“What is it? Surely you don’t want to look after Viscount Crow, do you?”
“Not at all. A report has been received that His Excellency’s apprentice, not Viscount Crow, has been kidnapped.”
“Yes? Synclare has been kidnapped?”
“Yes, Andrea Jeter reported to the police a while ago. During a meal with my family… I was kidnapped by unknown assailants.”
“No, do you ever kidnap people while having a meal with your family?”
“It doesn’t happen in aristocratic quarters, but it often happens in common people’s quarters. Seeing as there are many people who came to Ignas from outside…”
Helio, who had heard the captain’s excuse, jumped up from his seat.
“Please guide me where.”
“yes? All right.”
Count Scud Hunter didn’t even say a word when asked to go from where the student was kidnapped.
‘Tsk! I guess I’ll have to give up tonight’s banquet.’
By the way, on the first day Count Elio Lagoa visited the capital, kidnapped his pupil? Whoever it was, I really wanted to tear it apart limb from limb.
Ignas Eastern Residential District Police Department.
The chief of the peace, Baron Gladys Chronore, was sweating while dealing with the sudden surge of great nobles.
When I first received the kidnapping report, I thought so.
There were one or two abductions of children a day, so it was not surprising.
However, when the father of the abducted child said something, the security forces were turned upside down.
“Our daughter Synclare is a disciple of Count Elio Lagoa. Please contact the Count. He said he would be staying at Tavern, near the station.”
As soon as the report was submitted to the palace, the Chief Justice, Earl Stan Dyer, and the Chief Justice, Earl Horde Campps, as well as the courtier, Count Walter Goldman, came running.
The eastern residential district is a commoner’s residence, so it’s hard to see the nobles’ faces.
With so many great nobles flocking to such a place, Baron Gladys Chronore seemed to be choking.
I remember seeing the name of Count Elio Lagoa at a glance in the Emperor’s decree.
However, he did not know that the royal palace would be turned upside down due to the kidnapping of his pupil.
Not only the police force but also the knights of the principality were mobilized to find the kidnapped child.
After reporting the abduction situation to the courtier again, she went outside for a while.
When I reported the abduction to the Court Baek following the Chief Justice, my head throbbed.
It may be the first time for great nobles to hear it, but like a parrot, repeating the same report three times in a row is exhausting.
After coming out to the yard of the security guard and looking up at the night sky, her eyes opened wide.
As if it belonged to the emperor, a huge airship was flying towards the police force.
‘Couldn’t it be…he’s not coming here?’
