*PHEWWWWWW*
Instantly reaching the three representatives, right in the middle of them. Alden swang with all his strength, with the points he added after his level up; the blade he held was moving so swift that it made Alden's right-hand turns blurry. The one on the left, a bald, middle-aged man, was sitting and smirking at where Alden was a moment ago, had a confused look on his face. Wondering if his eye was playing with him, but Before figuring out, Alden's blade had already reached his head.
*SPLASHHH*
He was the first one to die.
Alden blade, from upwards to downwards, like butter cut with a heated knife, Alden split the man in half and as well as the couch he was sitting on, coupled with a coated thin Aura the Sword that Alden held only stopped when it dug the hard fine stoned floor. Even then, it only managed to stop after half of the blade is inside the ground. Then Alden froze like a statue; blood splashed at his face dying it red. Alden stared at the man he killed. Alden began to contemplate whether he went too far, but he brushed it off after hearing their disrespectful action and comments earlier.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
*GASHAAAAAA*
A sound of a man screaming and a chalice bronze goblet had fallen to the floor; the man behind Alden was the first to react. Quickly standing up from the chair, the man bolted at the only exit, located where Lucas and the two guards stood, but before he could take five steps, Alden, his blood continues to boil, suddenly pulled out the blade obstructed by the fine stoned floor. Aiming for the merchant's behind, Alden launches the swords,
*SHOOOOOOOOOOO*
Like a boomerang, the flying Sword swiftly followed a patterned path, making its way towards the merchant back. All the people at the front entrance could see the desperation on the merchant's face as he ran, but before they could do anything, the blade had finally arrived and cut the merchant in half. Then
"GET DOWN"
Lucas quickly shouted; he dived to the floor, holding his head, and the two guards who watched this came back from their stupor and eye wide at the incoming weapon; they both acted swiftly and dodged to either left or right.
*SWWWWWWWISHHHHHH*
The flying Sword instantly left through the opened door, carrying the wind with it, making its way towards the unknown. when the Sword had finally left the building, Lucas arched his head up and saw that it was safe; he got up from the floor and dusted himself. After inspecting around, the two guards also got up and resumed standing at the front entrance. Amazed at the strength of the young lords.
"My lord"
"My lord"
"Are you alright"
Lucas hurriedly ran to Alden. Avoiding the half-cut man on the floor, he proceeded to pull a napkin out of his butlered suit and hand it to Alden; His face, dyed with the blood of the bald man. Alden took it without persvation
'Thank you, Lucas, ' Alden replied.
Lucas nodded. Alden wiped his face with a napkin and proceeded to look around. Ignoring Sambor, who is still sitting in his chair, he seems to have lost all sign of life from his eyes. Alden snorted when he saw Sambor's face; he then spoke,
'Lucas, how much would these damages cost me?'
When Lucas heard Alden at first, he thought that it was ridiculous to mention the cost at this moment. Because it would not even take more than a mere five gold to make the repairs.
That would also include the cleanup and the replacement, but before he could truthfully answer, he saw Alden wink at him. Wide eye at Alden's sly plot. He shivered with excitement and finally comprehended his young Lord's plans.
"My lord"
"I'm afraid this damages would certainly leave you bankrupt," Lucas spoke, dramatically emphasizing every word slowly, making sure the soon-to-be-dead Sambor hears.
Rolling his eyes at how evident Lucas was, Alden proceeded to speak.
'I agree; these days, respect for the owner of the city has turned to ash, Lucas.'
"Ohh, Yes, My lord, I seem to have noticed your health has deteriorated at an alarming rate."
"The Role of a Lord is not an easy task," Lucas spoke.
Then swiftly Lucas eyed Sambor, who seemed not to pay any attention to him or Alden que. Sambors attention seems to be stolen by the men next to him, who had his body cut in half, oblivious to what Alden and Lucas are saying.
Through the decisive thought, Sambor got up from his chair, eyed by the vicious young Lord, Though the man had succumbed to death, he also appears to be aware of the consequences of his actions. Knowing even if he dies, his family will suffer greatly at the hands of Alden. Daring not say anything, He has maneuvered a survival mood. Sambor got up and kneeled before Alden.
"by the grace of God, I yield to you, my lord."
"My actions for the last countless years have blinded me from the truth."
[haha quick witted] Alden thought, eyeing the man and his courage.
"I Sambor of the house merchant Lamonas will compensate for a favor to keep my life."
" Should the lord agree, I will do whatever it is in my power of aid on to you."
With this speech, Sambor bowed, even more, waiting for a response from Alden.
Hearing him finishing, Alden stood there, Bathed with blood; he said nothing and began to plan how to make use of him. From the moment he arrived, Alden used the system to enquire about Sambor's status and the rest of the other people who died. However, Although Sambor is weak, he could be utilized favorably. Sambor, born from a wealthy family, is one of the House merchants only below the Windsler family. They are the selected individual families who had long attached themselves to Summer City.
[House Lamonas, I wonder how much money you people hold] Alden smiled.
By using this family, Alden could quickly get rid of Jacob Windsler; he could proclaim the windsler family and their traitorous deed, Take their land and belonging, Imprison them, and use the amassed wealth to begin his project of reconstruction. Although Alden is the Lord of the city, Although he is the one to control the entire enterprise, his father, at the end of the day, is still the one to decide whether he breached his authority. They would question Alden why he massacred one of the merchants who is the pillar that stabilizes the Van farrow. Till now, Alden truly believes that there are people in his household who want nothing but to make Alden miserable even more. Alden's mother's side of the family would back him up. Even though they deemed him unqualified to rule a city, they were the ones who still voted for him to take charge.
On the other hand, his father's side of the family. The powerful Elders would stop at nothing but to put pressure on him. Since the start, they have been the only people who could vote and complain about how his ruling is unprofessional. If it weren't because for Aldens mother's side of the family, Alden would lose his life "accidentally." Perhaps her treatment towards him so far has to do with his inability to be talented or radiate leadership. Making Alden an easy target by everyone.
*Sigh*
[It is a complicated thing to be a noble] Alden thought
Even now, when Lucas talked about the action of the Windsler family, Alden wanted nothing more but to charge at the domain of the Windsler and make them pay dearly.
'Are your words valid, Sambor' Alden spoke after a moment passed.
Hearing this, Sambor jumped at this opportunity.
"yes, my lord."
"I Sambor shall hear on."
"With the will of the lord, shall obey."
'good'
'Now' After much deliberation and planning, Alden finally assured his plan will work, he spoke
'In the third crusade, I have seen acts of valor and fervor that have reaffirmed my faith in this Land.'
'In times the crusader's rallies and defeat evil sentient.'
'Our fervor and victories will begin to multiply; however, the vulnerable faith of a man who stands with his words, the crusader's fervor with him.'
'Though Duke Mason, my father is a pious good man., he is never a decisive leader, and he was unable to stop the likes of the windsler family and their act of negligence.'
I, Alden. Lord the city. Reconciled our differences under the banner of the etched swan of Van farrow. I hear the words of willingness and plea of servitude of house merchant Lamonas'
'Stand house Lamonas'
