Chapter 55: Reversing Black and White

After some trekking, the group finally arrived at Denlenburg, and not only that, but in addition to the two of them, there were many other nobles rushing to Denlenburg, and it seemed that this matter was quite a big trouble.

When they entered the castle, they were not immediately received, and the clerk of Ruggie arranged for them to stay and left.

"It seems that the Count is quite angry about this!" William thought in his heart: "Also, the loss of the war between the two sides is also his combat strength, not to mention that both of them are his direct vassals, and the rule that vassals are not my vassals can't control us!" ”

"Well, I won't suffer anyway, the earl still has a component of vodka, more than a hundred silver coins a month is not much, but it is enough, besides, this matter is not my fault, I just need to insist that it was Viscount Curvin who instructed Dale to attack Baron Comos!"

William is not particularly worried about this matter, the big deal is the end of each playing fifty boards, his own strength has been highlighted, plus the economic strength and the earl's share, he doesn't need to worry.

Even if Viscount Cowen unleashed his family's connections among the nobles of Denlenburg to put pressure on the Count.

Thinking of this, William seemed a little unscrupulous, and lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

The next day, Reciprocal Ruggie knocked on William's door: "Baron William, Lord Count wants to see you now, please come with me!" ”

Along the way, William thought about the Earl's reason for finding himself, but he couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up thinking.

"Baron William, the study has arrived, I'll go first!" Clerk Ruggie bent down and left the door.

"It's my Earl!" William knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

William walked into the study and found that there was only one Earl here, not even Viscount Curwen, and he thought that the Earl would adjust the two of them first.

"What's the matter with calling me, Lord Earl!" William asked, confused.

"Sit down first!" The Count pointed to the chair in front of his desk and said to William.

"I heard that you and Viscount Kewen are going to fight, at first I was a little surprised, and even a little angry, because you are all my direct vassals, and the damage is equivalent to my strength, although I can't force the end of your war, but it's always okay to adjust it!"

"Then again, what kind of hatred do you have with Viscount Cowen? Do you have to go to war to solve it? The Earl asked in a gentle tone, except when facing the enemy, he was more gentle...... Maybe that's called kindness.

William was slightly stunned, how could the earl not know, not to mention that the nobles knew it clearly, was the earl's intelligence network so weak?

"Ah, that's the case, my father-in-law, Baron Comos, was attacked by Viscount Cowen's Baron Dale a few days ago, and brutally killed his father and son, and I, as his son-in-law, have the obligation to avenge him!" William said with a righteous face.

"Oh? Not a little selfish? The Count asked with a smirk.

"Uh...... Baron Dale and I had an argument, very serious...... So......" William hesitated to tell the earl about the cause and effect.

After saying that, the count's face remained unchanged, and William knew that the count must know these things, and he just wanted to hear what he had to say.

"Okay, I understand, but this matter is not easy to handle, after all, Viscount Kewen is also a powerful vassal under me, you go down first!" The Earl said.

William nodded, pushed the door and walked out.

In the afternoon, William received the news that the Count had summoned everyone to assemble in the hall.

It's not a dinner party or something, but the familiar Count wants to settle this war with bad effects in front of all the nobles of the Denlenburg region.

William pushed the door and walked into the hall, Viscount Kewen and the people around him looked at William with unkind faces, especially Viscount Kewen, with a sinister feeling in their gloomy eyes.

"Alright, everyone is here! Here we go! The Count cleared his throat and said.

"Parties, Viscount Cowen! Parties, Baron William! You two may be seated! ”

"Now tell me separately what is the cause of the war between you, and what kind of contradictions have caused such a bad war between my vassals."

"That's the kind of lord, Baron William, he killed my vassals for no reason, there is no contradiction between the two of them, but he brutally killed him like this!" The more Viscount Curvin spoke, the more excited he became.

"I must! My vassals must be avenged! Viscount Kewen said solemnly.

Seeing him reverse black and white, William was angry and funny in his heart, and said with a sneer: "Is it Lord Viscount?" But as far as I know, Baron Dale took this army to my father-in-law's estate, and besides, could you please explain why your vassals went to my father-in-law's territory with heavily armed troops?! Why did my father-in-law and my fiancΓ©e's brother die tragically?! Please let me know! ”

William's voice was close to roaring at this time, and Viscount Raul, Baron Comos's feudal lord, was also glaring at Viscount Curwen beside him.

However, he thought more about it than William, because he knew how bad it would be to start a war between the two direct vassals under the earl or between two powerful vassals.

To a certain extent, this means that the division of the territory will even bring the count to the ground, and the other nobles will think that the count cannot even control his vassals.

This is the reason why Viscount Raul did not immediately call in the army to trouble Viscount Curvin after getting the news.

However, William a baron and a viscount represent different meanings, which can be understood as an excuse for the big nobles to bully the small nobles.

In this way, not only will the Earl's majesty not be lost, but if William can show a little grievance, the Earl may also get a reputation for fairness and justice if he is biased towards William.

Although this will make Viscount Curvin complain and resent.

"Could Viscount Curvin please explain, why your vassal's army appeared in my vassal's territory, and why did my vassals die like this?" Viscount Raul grabbed the other party's sore foot and didn't let go.

"There are indeed some contradictions between them, and Baron Dale led his troops to your vassal's manor to resolve these contradictions, but he will never kill your vassal!" Viscount Curvin explained.

"Oh? Are you so sure? Viscount Raul frowned and asked.

"Of course, I'm pretty sure he did it!" Viscount Curvin pointed at William and said to everyone.

"He's already salivating over Comos Manor! But as the son-in-law of Baron Comos, he has no right to inherit! Baron Comos has his own heirs, and he goes to the rescue, in fact, to kill them and then seize the inheritance! Viscount Curvin said loudly.

William was already surprised at this time, he didn't expect this Baron Comos to be so shameless, reversing black and white to this extent.

Seeing that William was stunned, Viscount Cowen thought that he was bluffed by himself, and then said: "Look, I said it! You killed Baron Dale in order to kill people, I didn't expect you to be so hateful! ”

"You were just a little knight! Baron Comos took good care of you, but now, you did such a thing for the sake of the inheritance of the territory, and now you come to accuse me! The more Viscount Cowen spoke, the more excited he became, as if he were a messenger of justice.

"You...... Shame on you! William took a deep breath, the anger in his chest could not be suppressed, but after thinking about it, he didn't even have the words to refute the other party, Viscount Kewen's words were so rigorous that he didn't find the right half of the flaws.

"You're simply reversing black and white! I received the news that Comos Manor was besieged, so I led my troops to support, and you actually framed me like this! William could only fight back weakly in dry language.

"How can I frame you, this is simply the truth, think about it, it is a territory, a territory that can be controlled for generations after inheritance, who can resist such a temptation, do you believe it?" Viscount Curvin bewitched the nobles in the hall.

Many of the nobles in the hall cast suspicious glances at William, but there were also many people who trusted William, and it seemed that William had some prestige among the nobles.

"According to what you say, you are also suspicious, you know better than me what the territory means to a family, you sent Dale to Comos Manor for the territory!"

William's immature counterattack made Viscount Curvin laugh: "It's really very funny that you say this!" ”

"First, I'm not a member of the Comos family, not even a distant relative!"

"Second, even if I want that territory, do you think Viscount Raul will agree to the title of Baron Comos?" Viscount Curvin looked at William, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he looked at William with a mocking gaze.

These two questions directly asked William, making him speechless for a while, his heart was very anxious, and his two eyebrows were wrinkled together.

Although he himself knew that he didn't do this, but others didn't know, if he continued like this, his image and prestige among the nobles would be completely ruined, and no one would befriend a person who would not even let go of his own relatives.

"You! You're shameless! It's Baron Comos's nephew who colludes with Baron Dale! I received a letter asking for help before I arrived at Comos Manor, and the letter is here! William took out the letter he had received from inside his clothes.

"Okay, okay, your letter for help is true, but where is his nephew Duncan?" Viscount Kewen raised his eyebrows, leaked a mouthful of white teeth, and said.

William gritted his teeth with hatred, he clearly knew that he had killed Duncan and Baron Dale, so he was so fearless, and he still lacked tempering.

"Viscount Curvin!! You, shameless!! William was about to explode, his hands clenched into fists, and he said through gritted teeth, his chest suffocated.

"That's it! That's enough! Shut up, y'all! The Count slapped the table and shouted loudly.
