Vol 2 Chapter 914: Catching Turtle in the Urn


"What's going on? What about the people in the house?" Looking at the empty hall of his own Duke's mansion, the large space that should have been cleaned by a maid was empty, the Duke of El Barea couldn't help muttering With.
"I called them all away...Because there are some things, it's not convenient to talk to you in front of them." Juses' voice came from the inside of the city hall, "Father."
"Uss... So you did the ghost?" Judging from the strange appearance of Uss, the rare good temper with the second son disappeared in an instant. "You called them all to What? Do you want to be ashamed to dust this gorgeous hall that has inherited the glory of the El Barrea family for a century?"
"Don't dare." Euses calmly said, "It's just that I heard some bad rumors in the city recently, so I want to confirm it with you."
"If it's because of these gossips that affect your work, then you don't have to ask more. I will deal with it myself later." Elbarea sneered. Arnold always took good care of Euses before. What is he talking about? It seemed that Juss hadn't solved the previous problem at all.
However, when Helmut was about to go to his own study as usual, ignoring Euses, he encountered unexpected resistance. Uses, who has always been docile, actually moved a step directly this time, blocking his way to the study.
"You..." Helmut narrowed his eyes, a hint of surprise and danger mixed in his tone.
My second son...has never had such an attitude towards myself.
"I'm asking you..." Euses took a deep breath, and his eyes became firm again after a few seconds of drifting, seeming to have made a great determination, "You send me the mecha troops, attack Caldic in Trading Town...what is the reason?"
The cold tone was not at all like the second son who was always obedient to himself before.
"What are you talking about?" If there were some doubts in the tone of Duke Helmut before, then he is really exuding a dangerous aura from all over his body.
"I did hear some rumors... but I can't be sure of its authenticity." Juss looked at the clouds on Helmut's face and continued, "At first I naturally couldn't believe it... It was just that. Yesterday, some people from the town of Keldyk brought the wounded who were seriously injured in the attack to Bariahat and asked the Ducal Palace for an explanation. They gathered in front of the square and made a noise, which caused a considerable impact. "
"..." Helmut's expression was slightly dazed, as if he was thinking about something. Before he finished thinking, Juses continued: "I still thought it was just a farce... However, the scene at the time was really unforgettable. Moreover, the participants were not all Kruchin. Residents of the state, there are also many tourists and refugees who were displaced to Keldyk during the civil war. They symbolize their identity. Personal certificates from other regions can show this. After investigation, they There is no possibility of jointly making false accounts together, and the injuries those people have suffered are truly life-threatening." The more Juses said, the faster he spoke, "So I can confirm-what they describe The fact that Kyle Dick was attacked by weapons called Mechas really happened."
With that, Euses took out the relevant instructions and documents from the lining of the clothes that he had prepared. "I have been concealing this matter... I hope you can give me an answer in person."
"..." Helmut glared at his son, and an unknown fire rose in his heart. He looked at the second son he had always disliked in disgust, and then said, "This is not your job! You just need to do your job well—"
"A nobleman, in any case, has no reason to kill the residents in his territory. This is a betrayal of the glory inheritance of the imperial nobility for a hundred years! This is a crime!" Juss shouted sharply.
"Presumptuous!" Helmut was furious, and his original grace disappeared. He raised his hand and slapped Juss violently. "Are you able to say these bastards?"
He roared loudly, completely lacking the grace of a nobleman like a duke. Fortunately, there are indeed no maids or stewards around, otherwise they will see this appearance, and the original thin face of the El Barrea family will fade away.
The Duke of Helmut's response made Juss's last expectation of his father disappear completely.
"If this matter is not resolved... it may cause big trouble in the future." Juss said stubbornly against half of his red cheek, "So father--I still said that, I need to know the truth. , And why you gave this order. In addition, I also think that this should be done with the noble alliance on this matter—"
"Okay... It's just a few days as the Duke's agent, and you swelled like this." Duke Helmut smiled without anger, he waved his hand and said, "Take the second young master! Send him back. The room is introspective, and you are not allowed to leave without my order—"
Halfway through the conversation, he suddenly stunned-because he found that the four guards he was carrying with him had all fallen behind him at this moment. No sound came out.
"They should not be able to respond to your order for a while... Duke El Barrea... No, you are no longer Duke Al Barrea... Although the emperor is the only one to abolish an order like a duke It can be issued, so you are still a duke in name now, but I believe that in the liquidation after the civil war, you will not escape a fair trial." A silver-haired boy he had never seen before was smiling at this time. He came. However, although he does not know who he is, it can be seen that he is an accomplice of Juss, the rebellious son.
"You..." Helmut was even more angry, and he stared at the strange boy before him viciously.
"Regardless of the laws of the Empire, what you committed two days ago was an unforgivable crime-haven't you discovered it? Except for the group of soldiers from the Kruchin State noble army that belonged to you. Besides, no one has expressed support for you anymore." Heliga didn't care about Helmut's eyes at all, because it was just the pale anger from the outside.
"I...you...I...what do you want to do?" Helmut wanted to use a thousand vicious words to speak to the two people in front of him, but when the strange boy slowly moved towards him When approaching, he panicked.
Then, a tingling pain came from the back of the head, and Duke Helmut quickly lost consciousness.
"What did you say?" And the relaxed tone of laughter.
