Chapter 148.1: The Suffering of Governing (5)

Partutti said in a firm voice.

Your Excellency. The scoundrels of this city do not appreciate Your Excellencys grace at all. Even though You have shown such compassion.

The orc was egging Johan on as if he had made up his mind. In fact, he was confident.

From Johans position, he had no choice but to be dissatisfied with this city!

Although Johan had become the new master of the hundred kingdoms, he was extremely cautious in wielding his power. His caution was unbelievable for a violent conqueror.

They didnt show any loyalty in return for being so considerate of the city. Its no wonder the new Count would be angry enough to wave his sword around.

It is frustrating.

However, Johan didnt think much of it. Because his concepts of honor, loyalty and obedience were quite different.

The nobles thought themselves naturally honorable and that others should respect that honor, and they got angry when that was violated because they felt their own value was damaged.

But Johan reacted like or . In the first place, he didnt even expect genuine loyalty from the hundred kingdoms nobles.

Call the soldiers and have them arrest these scoundrels and put them on trial. I will testify.

.

Partuttis words reeked of blood. He seemed to have built up quite a grudge against the masters of other guilds.

The grudge of not receiving proper treatment as the guild representative and being ignored did not disappear easily. Partutti was determined to take revenge on them and seize control of the city if he could.

The city soldiers are also there, if we try that, they wont just stand still.

On the pretext of monsters, call additional soldiers. In the meantime, I will bribe the mercenary officers. If you want, I can set the city on fire, so take that chance to subdue the masters. . .

. . . . . .

Johan was slightly refreshed. There was a reason why Partutti pretended to be clever with his own brain.

It must have been clear that whenever he was ignored by the city guys, he mentally pictured how to burn down the city.

. .

For a moment, Johan was also tempted to be refreshed, but held back. It would be nice to just sweep away with force, but the aftermath was entirely Johans share.

!!!!!

Johans words hit them like getting hit in the head with a sledgehammer. They didnt expect to be called because of this.

??

?

Only a few knew about this. . .

No answer, huh.

Ah. . . no! Your Excellency! There has been a misunderstanding!

That misunderstanding produces quite a bit, doesnt it? Will there be more misunderstandings in the future?

So confused, the representatives couldnt even come up with lame excuses. They panicked and hemmed and hawed. Next to him, Fahid of the Mulc family carefully opened his mouth.

Your Excellency. Would they really conspire with the Emperor? There must have been some mistake. Give them a chance to prove their loyalty.

What chance are you talking about?

If they are loyal to Your Excellency, they will capture and offer up the Emperors envoys now. Please allow them to do so.

No. . . wait. . .

As the flustered master tried to stop Fahid, Johans intense gaze poured down on him. He hastily bowed his head.

, , !

He couldnt think that Fahid was colluding with Johan, so he could only complain inwardly.

If they captured and offered up the envoys in the name of the city, the aftermath would be the citys responsibility. How would the viscount or the Emperor judge them. No matter how much they pleaded their case, it wouldnt be accepted.

That would be good. They wont be able to offer it. Right?

We. . . we will offer them. Please wait a moment, Your Majesty!

First of all, you have to solve the problem at hand. With tears held back, the representatives shouted. Thinking about the damage of assets that would occur in the Emperors fiefdom because of this, their hearts already ached.
