Lord of Plenty
Chapter 173 Taking the Blame
Not even waiting until two days later, the second prince happily sent someone to dig out Kalam's eyes that day, and sent them away together with all the assassins who took action at that time.
He also dug a big hole for his competitor, the Third Prince.
Remind the other party that these assassins were not sent out by him.
Because of their guilty conscience, no one in the capital dared to say a word and just watched Kalam's misfortune quietly.
If we had to choose a sacrifice in the royal capital to appease the demigod's anger, this scumbag Kalam could be regarded as making the best use of his resources and dying a worthy death.
It doesn't matter who is unlucky, as long as they are not the unlucky ones.
Just as Earl Russell, who was standing at the door of the Egg Gambling Shop, was hesitating whether to go in to say hello or give him information, the only problem was that this little fox from the Golden Family was not easy to deal with.
Still pretending not to notice, Vittorio came up to him with the servants in the castle, put one hand on his chest and saluted.
"Good day, distinguished Earl Rather, I send my regards to you on behalf of His Excellency the Viscount.
I am Vittorio, the tax collector appointed by the lord.
What a coincidence. The lord is not in the castle now. Please forgive me for not being able to welcome you in person. "
"Hahaha, I didn't follow the noble etiquette and visited rashly.
If we really want to talk about right and wrong, then the fault is also mine.
This time I came here just to accompany my little friend to pick someone up and take a look at the scenery.
I just wanted to stop disturbing His Majesty's business, so I didn't send anyone to inform him in advance.
The result seems to have alarmed you. My fault is that I didn’t think carefully. "
Count Russell took the initiative to apologize, and Vittorio smiled lightly.
After the lord came back from the royal capital, he refused all invitations to meet with the nobles, including the big nobles in the royal capital.
How could Earl Russell not know?
There is no way to visit on the road, but I don't want to fall behind others, so I use this guise of just being along the way.
Still looking at the scenery?
What scenery is good here?
The Great Black Mountain in the Forbidden Scorched Earth, or the legendary monsters in the Forest of Everlasting Darkness?
Earl Russell coughed lightly, and little Fabien said quickly:
“I’m here to take my sister home.
Can you take us to see her? In addition, I also want to thank the lord in person for his protection.
If it weren't for the lord, my sister would have been entangled with that bastard for who knows how long. "
"You thanked the wrong person. The Lord did not interfere in this matter, he just received a special gift.
Well, it's on display in the school now. If you are interested, you can go and have a look. "
This is the truth.
In fact, it was the Fabien family who regretted this matter in the first place. Since the deal was made, regardless of whether it was Old Fabien or Little Fabien, this account must be acknowledged.
Otherwise, the retaliation is deserved. If the new head of the family could renege on the previous agreement, the world would have been in chaos long ago.
Therefore, Kun was not prepared to pay much attention to this matter before, but only protected little Fabien's sister.
According to the rules of the aristocracy, the fault lies with the Fabien family, but there is no reason for a young girl to marry such a well-known pervert.
And little Fabien wanted to resist this crime and save his sister, and no one could blame him.
Besides, he received the benefits.
All the good things that come at no cost are right under your nose, so of course you have to do them.
As for Lord Kalam, who cares what a bug thinks?
Even when Kalam jumped so hard in front of Kun in the capital, he didn't pay much attention.
But if you do bad things, do them blatantly and let everyone know about it, you will naturally get backlash.
If you were so arrogant before, if you are unlucky in the future, you will naturally not be able to blame others.
A bedbug leader who only deserves to live in the sewers, yet he dares to run out onto the streets with such arrogance that everyone in the capital knows about your existence. Who will die if you don't?
If he were the second prince, he would definitely find an opportunity to kill this guy who has grown so big that he can't even see his identity.
Little Fabien said in a friendly manner:
"It is well known why Count Kalam got unlucky so quickly.
Although the lord feels that this matter has little to do with him, I still want to thank the lord in person for taking care of my sister. "
It is necessary to see the lord.
If it weren't for Hana's sake...
Vittorio showed an apologetic smile:
"The Lord and His Majesty Valentina went to the Forest of Eternal Darkness this morning, and I don't know when they will come back.
If you are not in a hurry, you can find a place to stay first.
As for whether you want to see you or not when you come back, I can't make any guarantees. "
"That's really unfortunate."
It was not little Fabien who sighed with regret, but Count Rather.
"Originally, I wanted to talk to Your Majesty about the mutual trade between Harvest Territory and Lobos City. It seems that we can only discuss it during the next official visit."
Vittorio's eyes lit up when he heard this, his face was filled with a warm smile that was completely different from before, and he said sincerely:
"The lord basically doesn't care about trivial matters such as trade and taxation in the territory. If the earl doesn't mind, you can go to the castle with me to discuss it in detail.
Even the lord praised the refreshments in Blackstone Castle, and I think they would suit the earl's taste. "
"Haha, I like tea the most. Even your Majesty is full of praise for the tea. I want to taste it carefully."
He only allowed one tax official to receive him, but he didn't even show his face.
Count Lather was all smiles, praising him repeatedly, not feeling humiliated at all, thinking that the other party was despising him.
The other party's reasons were very sufficient, and he was a sudden visit, which was not in line with the rules of the nobility, and no one could find fault with him.
Moreover, the status of a demigod is equivalent to that of the ruler of a great country and the pope of each major church.
He has the right to meet the emperor without kneeling and meet the gods without worshipping, and can be honored as His Majesty like the pope.
A demigod tax collector came to receive him, which was not an insult to him.
Although to be precise, this person is not a demigod, but just a saint, but who would care about such a small matter?
There is more than one saint in charge here. Didn't you see that the magic saints of neighboring countries have opened alchemy shops here?
Today, as long as he can set foot in the simple castle made of black stone, it will not be in vain.
This is his real purpose.
As for who he meets, whether he meets His Majesty in the end, it is secondary. He just needs to get in touch with this person before everyone else.
Seeing Count Lasse lowering his attitude, Vittorio, who originally wanted to leave him alone, immediately changed his mind.
Respect is a two-way thing. The other party did not put on any airs of a superior noble, so he could not completely ignore the other party.
Besides, he really wanted the trade rights of Lovos City.
Although in principle anyone can go to Lovos City to sell goods, in fact only nobles with permission can sell the output of their territory in Lovos City.
It is not just as simple as Lovos City.
The nobles rooted in the north of the kingdom have their own loose trade alliance, and Count Lasse is one of the leaders of this noble alliance.
He is good at doing business, has strong strength, and controls an important commodity distribution center like Lovos City.
Count Lasse naturally became a powerful noble in this alliance.
This noble alliance not only controls the pricing power of commodities, but also the right to tax. Many foreign commodities must be transported to the north for sale, or local goods must be transported to the south.
The local nobles must not offend these people. If they do not join them, it is guaranteed that no matter how good the goods in your territory are, you will not be able to sell any of them.
At the beginning of the year, Vittorio recommended Kun to go to Lovos City, which is not the closest city to the Rich Territory, to buy those means of production. An important reason was to let Kun visit Count Laser on the way.
Then strive to join the trade alliance of this noble.
But Kun did not go.
I don’t know if he forgot or was too lazy to go.
Count Laser, who had prepared a dinner and was waiting for Kun to visit, waited in vain.
If you, a small viscount, don’t come, Count Laser will naturally not visit in return. When you can’t sell any of the goods in your territory, you will know that you are anxious.
Anyway, Count Laser is not anxious at all.
As for Vittorio, he didn’t say much at the time,
because at that time he didn’t understand whether this young lord was just playing the lord game on a whim or really wanted to build this place.
Anyway, he had already reminded the lord of what should be said and done. If the lord did not do it, what would be the consequences would be none of his business.
In fact, thinking of the original decision, both of them secretly regretted it.
If they could get the trade rights one day earlier (put down this meaningless airs earlier), it would be great.
For a while, the two of them actually had some feelings of mutual appreciation.
In the subsequent conversation and negotiation process, this point was confirmed. The more they talked, the more they regretted meeting each other too late, and they completely left the middleman, Fabien, aside.
After that, Fabien successfully met his sister in the castle, but he didn't expect that the other party actually said that she was not going to go back with him.
She was going to stay in the Rich Territory, in Blackstone Castle.
When asked why, he talked about other things and avoided the topic.
In fact, Betty brought Fabien's sister Hana back to Blackstone Castle to deliberately cause trouble for Kun.
Although Kun didn't mind helping the other party, he didn't want to become the gossip object of those bored nobles after dinner.
A young viscount with a strong background fought with a ruthless and powerful earl for a merchant's daughter. Tsk tsk.
What a good gossip target this is. Kun dared not imagine what this rumor would become.
He was not afraid of those with shoes when he was barefoot, and he never cared about what people said about him, but Hana would still get married in the future.
So Kun asked Betty to send this hot potato back to him several times, but Betty said he was guilty.
Hana didn't want to go back either. Although little Fabien wanted to take this matter, there were also voices of opposition in the Fabien family.
Things dragged on like this until old Tate suddenly told Kun an interesting story one day.
He said that his tax collector ran to Blackstone Castle all day long.
Kun wondered, as the most unpopular guy in Blackstone Castle, Vittorio would not appear in the castle unless it was necessary.
Vittorio came to the castle not to bother him, but to find a woman?
Kun secretly observed for a while and found that it was true, and Vittorio was not unrequited love.
Since then, Kun never mentioned asking Betty to send Hana back, and Betty took the opportunity to laugh at him for a long time.
There is no way, as a good boss, sometimes you have to take the blame for your subordinates.
