Chapter 56: Windsler Craft Inc II
"but over the years when the duke had passed away, The young lord father taking over the domain. The windsler family seems to be forgotten by the new duke."
"Judging by how they have been conducting themselves for the last decades, The new Windsler family head has openly neglected his duty, Making illegal deals with bandits and stopping other smaller merchant families from selling their goods."
"Cooperating with thieves to threaten citizens to sell their homes for a low price and expanding feverishly."
"While the young lord is gracious to appoint the responsibility of tax collection from the lower nobles and the merchant business to me."
"The windsler family had countless times shunt me out their doors, Making it difficult to do an Audit."
"At first, I did not know why but after many days of trying to investigate, I was later approached by Byron and Diana to stop my investigation."
"they said the tax collection has already been collected and sent to Duke mason. Therefore, I should not meddle in the affairs of the windsler family head, or else they would report me to duke mason for temptation and bribery."
"Afraid that I would be framed, I stopped investigating that matter and continued my life."
"But finding out that Byron turned traitorous, I quickly sent the young lord private garrisons to the windsler family after his death, urging them their yearly incomes audit paperwork."
"Thus far, instead of following an order and knowing that it was I that sent the garrisons, Sir Jacob Windsler has sent an envoy and representatives to the lord's castle."
"Rejecting any further investigation and stating that they would not participate in the Audit."
"The Windsler Family representatives are actually waiting for the young lord at the guest house, east of tower castle."
'Wait, what?' Alden was wide-eyed at what he heard. Lucas paused and began to fidged like a nervous little child. Annoyed at the man, Alden asked again in case he misheard wrong.
'Lucas, did you say Byron and Diana?' Alden spoke
Lucas hurriedly replied,
"yes, my lord."
'I see'
Lucas quickly answered what the young lord had asked, confused at the question, and decided not to pry any further; Lucas waited. Alden, on the desk sitting, could not believe what was happening to his city. He slowly closed his eyes while his palm reclined on his cheeks.
Alden began to think.
[It looks like this windsler family need to be made an example before they really step out of line]
Lucas began to get even more nervous; His life was at stake after all.
Ever since Shadow Mox revealed itself to Lucas at Alden's room, Lucas could not get a wink of sleep.
Knowing a cutthroat is at his neck at all times, even though Alden has told him not to worry, Lucas still believes he would die if he did anything wrong; therefore, Lucas is working to perfection. After a few minutes of silence, Alden got up from his chair.
*Sigh*
'Lead me to the representatives of the Windsler family Lucas'
"yes, my Lord."
Lucas quickly navigated to the doors, opened them for Alden, and led him to the guest house of Tower castle. Little to Lucas's knowledge,
Alden behind Lucas had a vicious look on his eyes and his heartbeat with malice. If Lucas could read minds, he would soil himself with fright after finding out what Alden would do to those representatives. Anyway, Looking around the castle while being led, Alden still could not believe he owned it, and A few minutes later, door after door. Building to building. Alden was finally led to a separate miniature castle that was defined as a guest house.
Alden stared at the front closed door for a few minutes and finally waved his hand at the two guards who were guarding the entrance to open it. The door opened. Lucas loudly announced.
"Announcing"
"The lord of Summer City"
"Young Lord, Alden Van Farrow"
"All rise" His voice echoed inside the miniature castle; inside, Alden could see three people still sitting, even though after all those introductions, they pretended as if they had not heard anything.
'You people seem to act like I don't exist.'
Alden spoke, entering slowly; those people inside already knew that the young man who had just stepped in was the lord of the city. Alden was not wrong about what he thought. Those people inside are the types of people who had heard the rumors that a dark affinity user protects the young lord of the city but chose to disregard it as pure superstition and lie. Those three had not met Alden before, but after being in the same circle as the Windsler family head, their ego inflated, and believing everything Jacob had told them. They finally felt and thought the young lord of the city is but a pushover. Added with how young he looks, Thus taking the initiative and speaking first, Sambor is his name.
"hm'
'Ahhhh'
"Alden, you're finally here."
"come have a seat," Sambor spoke, gesturing to Alden, who stands at the door, not moving an inch.
Lucas, who is behind Alden, had his mouth opened and shivered after hearing those words from the representatives of the Windsler family—looking at him with eyes like an owl. The two guards inside the small castle heard it too but did not move either. They are not dumb; the two guards were the ones that cleaned up Byron and the rest of the people's corpses four days ago, and hearing how their young lord had been killing left and right, they decided to wait and see what results would follow. Even the guard at Alden left began to shake with excitement after hearing that,
"HAHAHAHAHAHA' X2
The two beside Sambor suddenly began to laugh uncontrollably, disregarding the person they are laughing at is Alden Van farrow. Then Sambor's eyes switched left and right, making sure his two companions were barely able to hold their fat belly with laughter to stop, smiling to no end. Sambor is pleased and condescendingly looks at Alden. Seeing how he is not saying anything about it, He disregarded him and spoke straight to Lucas, who is still mouth-gapped.
"Lucas, I believe you know why we are here."
"That bit of show of yours yesterday is not what we agreed with, Byron."
"We the representatives. Have come to discuss our three-year agreement wi- " Then, before he could finish his sentence, Alden cuts him off.
'Your agreement with Byron is Null and void.'
'I will not accept an invalid agreement between a Knight and merchant."
'Without my approval. You people have breached my rules and as well as the Van farrow.'
Without further explanation, Alden suddenly stretched his hands to the right and grabbed the sword at the guard's waist, and unsheathed it. This action took the three by surprise; what is the lord of the city going to do with that sword. Then Alden gripped the blade so hard; it made the hilt break apart. A cracking sound of wood could be heard and dashing straight at the three.
