Come to another world and become a lord

Chapter 171 The Messenger of Gammond

Bryce Doronso was a thin and gloomy man with a sallow face. Although he was not very old, wrinkles appeared on his face early. He was wearing a dark blue robe with the Doronso family crest embroidered with silver thread on the collar and cuffs. As the second son in the family, he had no inheritance rights, but the world was unpredictable. Who would have thought that his father, Baron Gamond Doronso, would actually launch a coup and drive Mia out of the territory. If his father could become an earl, it would be possible for him to become a baron in the future. This suddenly gave him some hope in his hopeless life.

At this time, he was standing at the gate of the inner city of Rickburg. Looking up, the sky was gloomy, as if a snowstorm was brewing. Although it had not snowed, the cold wind was still biting. The walls of Rickburg were covered with thick frost, and the gate slowly opened to welcome their arrival.

Bryce walked into Carl's hall, the firelight around him reflected on his face, making his already sallow face even more gloomy. He was followed by several followers, all of whom looked serious and taciturn.

When I walked into the hall, I saw Carl sitting on a chair below the Lord's throne, leaning back in a very comfortable position with a calm expression. Next to him stood Alia, a girl with a solemn expression, wearing armor and holding a halberd upright on the ground, looking majestic. Sitting on the Lord's throne was Tilda, who was only 8 years old, with a timid expression.

Bryce was stunned for a moment, then knelt on one knee and said after thinking for a moment:

"Bryce Dorenso, audience with Count Tilda of Morgan County."

Without getting any response, Carl just sat there and looked at him without answering anything. Tilda, who was sitting on the lord's seat, seemed to want to answer, but after looking at Carl, she quickly shrank back.

For a moment, the field fell into embarrassment. Bryce swallowed his saliva and had to add:

"And Viscount Carl of Rickburg..."

Karl nodded slightly, and then said loudly:

"Welcome to Rickburg."

There was a sense of relief in his tone.

"I wonder what you are here for?" he added.

Bryce bowed slightly, but there was not much respect in his eyes. Instead, he said in a tough tone:

"Viscount Karl, I am here to discuss this with you on the orders of my father, Earl Gamond of Dorenso. My father has learned that the traitor Mia Dorenso is currently with you, and he hopes that you will hand her over immediately."

Carl frowned slightly. He naturally knew the other party's purpose, but such a tone surprised him. Duolunso had just suffered a defeat, suffered heavy losses in troops, and was also facing a rebellion. What qualifications did they have to be so rude in front of him? However, these red tapes were just trivial matters in his eyes, so it didn't matter. The key point was that since the other party had made a request, what kind of bargaining chips did they intend to exchange with him, and whether he should agree.

"If I remember correctly, the legal earl of Dorenso should be Mia. When did Gamond become the earl?"

"Mia Doronso is a tyrant!" Blaise said firmly, "She allowed her own guards to kill people at will in the city. Such a person is not qualified to continue to be a lord! My father sacrificed his own relatives for the sake of justice and saved the people from danger! He is now a hero of Doronso!"

"So what?" Carl suddenly interrupted him.

"What?" Bryce was stunned for a moment.

"What you said cannot change the fact that Mia is still the earl." Carl continued, "Before her death, Gamond has no right to ascend the throne. Even His Majesty the King cannot change this."

If it was so easy to change, he would not have chosen to let Tilda continue to take the throne after killing Morton. He could indeed frame Morton for the crime of being a wizard and execute him, but Morton would still be the Earl of Morganland until his death, and his children would still have the right of inheritance, which he could not change. As for this Gammond, as Mia's uncle, if Mia died at this time, he would indeed have a chance to take the throne. It's just that Mia is still alive, but he calls himself the Earl. Does he think he has too long to live?

Just when Bryce didn't know how to answer, Carl waved his hands around, and except for a few Fire Rose sisters, all the guards and servants around retreated. Then he said:

"I really don't want to say anything polite. Let's get this straight. You want Mia. What do you want in exchange?"

"What in exchange?" Bryce suddenly sneered, but soon regained his composure. "You will gain my father's friendship and peace between the two places. As long as you are willing, my father is willing to guarantee that our friendship will last forever. He will never infringe on Morgan Territory in the slightest."

"Is this your bargaining chip?"

"if not?"

Carl almost laughed. Friendship, peace? Was that guy crazy?

"I'm sorry, Count Mia Dorenzo is now our honored guest. She came to me and told me that the riot in Snow Rock City was deliberately framed against her, and she hoped that I would make the decision for her."

"What?" Bryce showed an incredulous look, "You mean you don't want to hand him over?"

"I am a fair and just person. I cannot make any guarantees until the facts are clear." Carl replied calmly.

"Hmph~ Okay~" Bryce snorted coldly, "Very good, you can do this, but I have to warn you, you are on the wrong side! You chose war!"

Karl wanted to laugh even more, and even curled up the corners of his mouth inadvertently:

"Okay~ If you want to come, I'll accompany you to the end."

"You'll regret this!" Bryce said, throwing his dark blue robe violently. Before Carl could speak, he stood up and was about to leave.

Karl glanced at him and the few scattered followers behind him, and suddenly shouted:

"Guards, arrest these people!"

Immediately afterwards, the guards who had retreated earlier rushed out again from all directions and surrounded them in an instant.

"What are you going to do!" Bryce widened his eyes in disbelief and then yelled.

Carl said slowly:

"Nothing, just to teach the ignorant boy some manners."

"You, you can't do this! My father will not let you go!" Then Bryce was pressed to the ground and dragged down like a dog, cursing as he was dragged.

It wasn't until Bryce's voice completely disappeared that Alia leaned over and whispered in Carl's ear:

"is this okay?"

"What does it matter? We just defeated them." Carl replied, but he also understood what Alia meant. The other party dared to be so arrogant, they must have found a powerful backer.

"One more thing." Alia said again.

"What?" Carl asked.

"Aaron wrote to me and said he wants to visit you~" Alia replied.

"The Prime Minister is looking for me? Why?"

"I don't know yet." Alia replied.

Karl's eyes instantly became solemn, and then he sighed softly:

"It seems that the situation in the North is becoming more and more complicated."
