Chapter 72: The Past

Tiberius knew why his stepmother's attitude towards him had changed, and according to the laws of the Kingdom of Gilgias, family property and titles were generally inherited by the eldest son, and the eldest son could not be deprived of the inheritance unless he made a serious mistake. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Tiberius is the eldest son of Viscount Bruce Nar, the tax collector of Purple Sun City, and according to the laws of the Kingdom of Gilgias, all the property of the Nar family, including his father's title, should be inherited by Tiberius.

This is not what Caitlyn wants to see, and Caitlyn wants her husband Bruce to strip her eldest son Tiberius of the inheritance and make her son Raul the heir.

But Tiberius's father, Bruce Nal, was not a soft-eared man, and no matter how much his wife encouraged him to make trouble, Bruce did not deprive his eldest son of the inheritance.

Seeing that Ming's methods were useless, Catelyn actually started to have evil thoughts, and Tiberius, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old at the time, liked to hunt in the mountains and forests, so Caitlin quietly ordered someone to poison Tiberius's favorite shortbread.

One day, Tiberius took his attendant and hound to hunt in the mountains and forests as usual, and during the hunt break, Tiberius took the shortbread in the hand of the waiter and was ready to eat, when one of Tiberius's favorite hounds came to him, and Tiberius threw the shortbread in his hand to his beloved hound with a happy face.

Taking a bite of the shortbread thrown by his master, the hound died of poison soon after eating the shortbread, and looked at the hound dead at his feet, Tiberius's gaze gradually became cold.

In the evening, Tiberius returned home, but instead of reporting to his father about the day's hunt, Tiberius took a hunting bow and crossbow, and went straight to his stepmother Caitlin's room.

Caitlin had just lulled the young master Raul to sleep with two maids, and when she saw Tiberius return home alive, Caibriel's eyes showed panic, and Tiberius was even more sure from Caitlin's evasive eyes that this woman had poisoned her shortbread.

Waving the two maids out of the room, Tiberius pointed his crossbow at his stepmother, Caitlin.

Catelyn knelt on the ground and cried and begged Tiberius not to kill her, looking coldly at the woman who was kneeling in front of her and weeping bitterly, Tiberius did not hesitate to pull the trigger of the crossbow.

A few minutes later, Tiberius's father, Viscount Bruce, hurried over, looking at his dead wife on the ground, and Tiberius standing in the room with a bow and crossbow, and Bruce felt only a feeling of dizziness.

Bruce concealed the murder that happened in the family, no matter how Tiberius is his son, Bruce will not hand over his son to the sheriff, Catelyn's death is not all Tiberius's fault, it was Caitlin who attacked Tiberius first.

Soon after, Bruce sent his youngest son, Raul, to his brother's house in Dawn City, where Bruce feared that Tiberius would get rid of his younger brother Raul, so Bruce asked his brother to raise his youngest son, Raul.

Tiberius was ridiculous about his father's behavior, if he wanted to kill his brother, he would have done it after killing his stepmother, so why would he wait until later?

The father thought that he wanted to obtain the family property and the title. The fortune of the Nar family, the viscount of his father, these were not what Tiberius desired, and Tiberius would use his hands and wisdom to acquire more, yes, more.

"Lord Dorne, thank you Marquis Lewin for your kind arrangement. Meng Fan, who was sitting in the carriage, smiled and nodded to the blonde man outside the carriage, and after Dorne saluted Meng Fan again, he came to the front of the team, and Dorn sent Meng Fan, the lord of Black Rock City, and his party into the Qingshan Hall in the city.

In a room on the second floor of the Castle Peak Guild Hall, "Lord Claude, please live in this guild hall with your men, if you need anything, please ask for it from the guild hall, the Marquis has instructed that the people in the guild hall must serve Lord Claude wholeheartedly..."

"Lord Dorne, has His Majesty come to Ziyang City?" Meng Fan looked at the blonde man in front of him and asked, "His Majesty Landry arrived in Ziyang City five days ago, and now His Majesty lives in the Lord's Mansion. Dorn replied.

"Yes, Lord Dorne, tomorrow I will come to the Lord's Mansion to meet the Marquis. Meng Fan nodded.
