Chapter 25 (The Castle Lord)
"I always feel like you're hiding something from me. While laying out the floor, Deklaas took out the scroll to be translated and the two books for translation, and said nonchalantly to Milina and Rita.
Hearing Deklaas's words, Milina and Rita were shocked, but neither of them answered, but remained silent. When Deklaas saw this, he knew that the two of them really had something to hide from him. In this way, he will not say anything more, and the child has some little secrets after all.
"Dad, are you angry??" Milena, who had only talked to Deklaas last night, couldn't help but feel very sad when she saw Decraas silent.
"It's just a little secret for my daughters, what do I have to be angry about??" said Deklaas, who was about to start his translation work, looking up and smiling at his two of them.
"It's easy to suffer with your character, Dad. Milina looked at Deklaas for a moment of silence before speaking.
"Suffer?? Probably. However, I don't think the two of you will make me suffer. Deklaas smiled and concentrated on translating the scroll.
In the middle of the night, Milina had fallen asleep, and Deklaas had fallen into a dormant state, only Rita could not sleep. She looked at the ceiling and sighed slightly.
Because of the relationship between illegitimate daughters, she already had some inferiority complex in her heart, and what Mei Li did to her made her inferiority complex very strong. She was afraid that Deklaas would dislike her, that he would hate her. Even though she knew that Deklaas wouldn't, she just wouldn't be worried because she didn't give herself to him...
The thing hidden today is Shirley's wedding. Such an important matter, but Milina asked her to hide it from Deklaas. This made her very uncomfortable, and now she was very dependent on Deklaas, without Deklaas's care and love, she would not be able to live completely. Although, now Deklaas just treats her as a daughter. However, what qualifications does she have to have the love of Deklaas??The heart of repeated betrayal or the body full of scars that cannot conceive??What qualifications does she have??
The next morning, Deklaas arrived at the workshop early with his two daughters, only to find Caruccio and Messi Aika standing at the door of the enshrinement, arguing with a high-ranking officer.
"There's no way out of this!!I've done nearly 30 percent more for you!!I'm talking about this, Messi Aika and I won't agree to anything!!" Carusio's face turned red and looked very angry.
"It's useless for you to yell at me!!I don't count if I say this!!Are you arguing with you because I want to come here!?" The senior was also very angry, but his words involuntarily carried some bitterness.
"Messi Aika, what's the matter??Quarrel here early in the morning??" Deklaas looked at it for a while, then came to Messi's side and asked what was going on.
"Now the lord of the city, Redjefer Thunderfire, seeing that Carusio and I are good at work, wants the two of us to become his staff and forge alchemy items for him. If the treatment is good, Carusio and I will agree. But what does it mean that there is only one silver coin a month!?" Messi Aika saw that the person who came was Deklaas, a colleague who was also a high-level alchemist, and told him what happened to Carusio.
When Deklaas heard this, he couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in his heart, one silver coin a month, even a beginner alchemist can't be this garbage price, right? ?
"I don't know if the lord of the city got the approval of the empire when he recruited Carusio and Messi Aika??You must know that if you don't get approval, you can forcibly recruit a high-level alchemist, but it is illegal!!The most important thing you can do is to turn a grand duke with the territory of the principality into a commoner!!I don't think our city lord is an archduke, right??" Deklaas thought about it carefully, then walked up to the high-ranking officer and said to him.
As soon as he heard Deklaas's words, the officer couldn't help but be shocked!!!But he had been in the army for a long time, and he thought that Deklaas was scaring him, so he immediately glared at Deklaas very angrily, and said viciously: "Are you threatening me and the city lord!?"
"I don't dare to threaten you, but it's just a reminder to you and your lord. Although I don't know which Grand Duke and Prince he is backstage, I don't think I will be Lord Grelda, right??" Deklaas sneered and said with great disdain.
"Count you ruthless!!hmph!!" The officer thought for a moment about the dangers and possible dangers of this matter, then snorted coldly and left the workshop.
"Deklaas, you have something to do with Lord Greelda??" asked Carusio as soon as the officer left, looking stunned and confused.
"It's not about relationships, it's just that we've had some dealings before. Deklaas smiled slightly, replied simply, and took Milina and Rita into the workshop to work.
That night, the Lord's Mansion.
"How's it going, Elescuel, how did I get you done??" asked the fat uncanny orc, sitting in the castle lord's seat, to the senior officer who had been taken away by Deklaas in the morning.
"Lord of the City, I haven't done anything. The officer glanced at the orc city lord who looked like a meat ball, and then said with a sigh.
"What!!What's going on!?" the big fat city lord immediately asked loudly as soon as he heard that the matter had not been completed.
"In the Alchemist's Workshop, there are people who know Lord Grielda. The officer thought for a moment, then said truthfully.
"Who is this bullshit Grielda??Is he bigger than the lord of this city!?" the fat orc yelled in great displeasure as soon as he heard the officer call the others.
"He was a minister of the imperial capital, although the status of the ministers was not as good as that of the nobles. But Mistress Grielda was different, he was a minister who specialized in the management of the aristocracy. Moreover, he is deeply loved by His Majesty. As long as he says a word, a powerful grand duke can instantly become a commoner!!" The officer said helplessly to this city lord who didn't know the origin.
"What kind of official is this Grand Duke??" the city lord scratched his chin and asked.
The officer was taken aback by the city lord's ignorance, looked at the city lord in a daze, and only after half a sound did he explain: "The grand duke is the duke who owns the territory of the principality. ”
"Uh... Isn't the principality's state??How did it become the duke's territory again??"
"Didn't you go to school?"
