Without a hint of hesitation, Cotlin threw the count out of the carriage. A smile curled his lips when the count screamed with pain.
Then he looked at the semi conscious man beside him.
"Your grace, I apologize for everything that happened." but he could not understand why a count would try to hurt the duke when he could use him to get more power.
"It only meant that the duke had refused to help him. And he was using his name to control Damien." Damien had never expressed it. But Cotlin knew that Damien wanted to get rid of count and his family after their years of exploitation.
He knew how they had hurt his other vassal family and how they had spread corruption. But he was silent because his only family member was controlled by the count. "But not anymore." he could not help but shiver with excitement.
