At that afternoon whole weapon shop whole 4000 people which includes workers and there family were relocated to Duke's house .
Duke mansion was very large settlement . Whole imperial city was divided in inner and outer city , inner city was place where all settlement like college , market are present inner city is totally protected by only imperial gaurds only and outer city was surrounded by 4 big and strong wall each wall was of 50 feet in height and 6 feet in width .
Each wall was under protected by a Duke , east wall was protected by 4th Duke along the wall there are soldiers camp alongside wall and in middle of wall Duke mansion was made which had very large space it was prepared for situation of war so it can hold 100 thousand soldiers anytime . Still they are only for soldiers not for people to live , whole Duke's house in ups and down due to commotion ,4 th Duke was also shocked when he saw that his whole weapons people are there with there families .
4 th Duke narrowed his eyes and asked,
"Joseph , what's going on here today why all of sudden they are here for."
Joseph who was not only strongest magician after Duke in dukes house he was also butler for there house all matters small or big are handled by him
" Master it is all because of youngmaster Ronnie "
" Huh that damn grandson of mine just got up from bed and in few hours he started to create trouble for me again , when I saw his behaviour in morning ,I thought there is some hope for him but it's like that I was getting happy little too early." 4th Duke Singh was angry but more he was disappointed .
Joseph smiled by looking expression on 4 th Duke face , he was with Duke for 39 years by now how can he not understand what 4 th Duke is thinking.
" Master this time youngmaster Ronnie may have created little trouble but , he did that for protecting our people , I have enquired about this matter with Manager Paul who is incharge in managing shop , our people were being bullied by royal gaurds , young master Ronnie protected them from getting unjustly punished and also claimed 500 thousand gold from Royal gaurds as compensation for work our weapon shop did this year as we all know from many years our people is working so hard but royal gaurds always misused king's decree and never compensated them but also punished them whenever they want but today young master Ronnie was there so he protected them .
But still he in end closed weapon shop by saying that weapons shop is only creating loses no profit so he closed the shop but as he didn't want to leave weapon shop workers to fend for themselves without work and food he brought them all here and said they will only working for them , Ah ! although young master did not do any wrong this time but our house is already in heavy debts , it will be trouble to manage all of them ."
Hearing Joseph's explanation 4th Duke was once again shocked but this time there was smile on his face
" Good good , from many years these loyal people from weapon house is enduring so much and I was helpless never able to do anything but if my grandson want to do something about this then I will support him Joseph help him , do whatever he says after so many years of praying atlast he was trying to do something good , I don't care if he donate every stone of our family in doing good it is far better then wasting everything in gambling and alcohol give him full support worse case we will just leave for our feifdom on mountain we are not fallen to point where we cannot feed our loyal people and he was right weapon house is already a sinking boat it better to abandon it we will take care of all our loyal people ."
Suddenly at that time a gaurd came behind them
" Duke , youngmaster Ronnie wants to meet you he is standing meeting hall "
Soon Duke and Joseph entered in meeting hall where a magnificent handsome boy with devilish smile was standing there
" Grandfather this unfilial grandson once again caused a trouble for you please kindly punish me "
4th Duke seriously looked at his grandson he was trying to find something he don't know but there something today that was making Ronnie more charming but kept his serious and strict face on he was happy with Ronnie but didn't want show it ,in case Ronnie get too confident
" hmm, ok I know about this matter ,you are too rash there but it's ok you can settle them here ,Joseph will take care of there needs , this time your body is not well so I will not give you any punishment , you have yet to fully recover from your injuries ."
Ronnie laughed in his heart by looking at 4 th dukes strict face he thought Duke actually so bad in acting although he was trying to look strict but even a child can see though his act
"
" Grandfather , I have few request too"
" Huh ? you still have some request ok say it I will think"
Duke said as he was impatient already ( obviously acting )
" Grandfather I want to settle weapon shop arrangement in my backyard and I want it to be completely secret noone should be allowed to enter and only our most loyal gaurd should be there " Ronnie replied seriously
Hearing this request Duke eyes narrowed dangerously ,
" what you want to do and why so secrecy"
" Grandfather just trust me I will explain everything latter , can you just trust me this time I know in past I have disappointed you but this will change soon ."
Hearing explanation from Ronnie both Duke and Joseph shocked and looked towards him for quite sometime atlast Duke sighed ,
" Ah ! do whatever you want to do I will trust you last time but tell me what are you planning to do with weapons which are due to be returned after repair , you have already closed and you even dare to promise that I will give him weapons of my soldiers untill repairment is done , you know without weapons our soldiers are like tigers without claws and teeth ." After investigation from Manager Paul Joseph got this information which he passed to Duke while they were walking towards meeting hall
Ronnie smiled devilishly,
" Grandfather , what about weapons promise us done by me not by you , I don't have any legal power to promise them , just say that you don't care if they want weapons of your soldiers just give them broken weapons from stores and if they say something just say that it is for sometime after few month they will get there original weapons and if they don't want them then they can go and raise complain in court for justice ."
Duke brows furrowed Ronnie was right promitce was never made by Duke and army power is not something can be settled with Ronnie's word ,
" but if they to court for justice then it will be troublesome ."
Ronnie smiled ,
" hehehehe as if they will dare , today I only claimed compensation for 1 year weapon repairs if they go to court we have all documents ,heh I will not mind collecting compensation for all 10 years of weapon repairs and above that we are giving them weapons , I never said that the condition will be good and they are at our shop for service , if our shop is not good in service they can ask for return and look other shop , so if our repair is not good they can ask return of money but problem is that never paid it in first case ,hahahaha."
Booom suddenly Duke got enlightened yes what they will complain in court that they provided them with broken sword then if matter investigated properly them all the repairs done in 10 years will be found and he also knew that there weapons shop is reapairing 10 time of weapon which should originally be repaired so there shop already fulfilled there duties .
suddenly brilliant spark was passed by Duke and Joseph eyes they were always troubled with this problem but now it was solved Ronnie , now Royall gaurds cannot say that it was mistake of there people but he will have to hide it otherwise it will be his fault in misusing kings decree and that was punishable by death .
Atlast Duke nodded
" ok go take rest , you just got well .weapon settlement will be taken care by Joseph , and I will take care of royal gaurds too."
so by that all matter settled and also pitiful royal gaurds have to bear with old broken weapons they didn't dare to report in court ,royal gaurds commander was furious at first he tried many ways to threaten 4 th Duke but Duke never bothered with him he just said I never promised you anything it is your stupidity to believe in child's words it's your stupidity which is causing safety of capital in danger that have nothing to do with 4 th Duke house and 4 th Duke was generous enought to donate them some if there weapons with generosity but if they want to file case then they are welcomed and Duke also threatened them they have records of 10 years weapon repairs according to it there already done 10 time of repairment without anyfee so they have only 2 options either take these weapons and stay silent or they can forget about these weapons and file case which can bring light to the corrupted action they are doing in last ten year in name of Kings decree , so ultimately royal gaurds can only accept whatever weapons they were able to get afterall something is better then nothing and also although they always use there authority to strut around but they also knew that 4 th Duke house is not easy to deal and in this case they were in wrong first
