Chapter 142: Comfortable Bed 1

"It seems that the young Moller has forgotten something," Duke Lucas chuckled. Despite the increasing heat in the atmosphere, the Duke was still calm. There was no hint of seriousness in his eyes. It seemed like he was talking to a child rather than a man who was almost his age.

"What?"

Duke Lucas leaned closer. "I am the Duke of Wugari. Did you really think you could threaten me, young Moller?"

Clinton frowned, his left eye started twitching. "You are not in Wugary, my Duke. You are in Lonyth."

"Ah" Duke Lucas snorted. "So, that is why that explains the courage."

"In Lonyth, you have to respect the King of Lonyth. A mere Duke is still nothing in front of another Kingdom's King." Clinton Moller chuckled. "Now give me the sorcerer."

"What are you afraid of young Moller? To an outsider, it seems like you are wasting your time with a small sorcerer when you could be helping your father manage your estate."

"Is this a confirmation that you are indeed working with one?"

"I have no sorcerer, I do not need them. Unlike weaker nobles who rely on them, I have the power to protect my territory."

Clinton's brown eyes lifted into a smug smirk. "Then let me check your people."

"And if I don't?"

"I already sent a letter to my father. They will not let you go."

To Clinton's surprise, the Duke started laughing.

"I do not believe that I said anything funny."

"Is that so?" Duke Lucas asked. "Ah And here I thought the young Moller just wanted to make me laugh."

"Make you laugh?"

"That man is simply too cruel! Send a message to the knights nearby! Let them come!" Irritated, Clinton went back to where the Duke was having his tea.

"Why did you do it!? Answer me!" he demanded. In fact, every nobleman was aware that the sorcerers created the barriers that protected the towns from the beasts. In fact, almost everyone in the North were aware of this. Earlier, Clinton just used this excuse to make a trade with the Duke, he wanted that fine lieutenant. That woman just stepped on his ego! How could he let her go so easily!

Clinton had already asked his people about the identity of that woman and he knew she was Dame Fraunces of the Wugari Kingdom. She was a warrior and was currently unmarried. Clinton wanted her to be one of his wives. He only wanted to humiliate the woman!

With this in mind, Clinton immediately used something taboo to make the Duke bend.

Who would have thought that the Duke would actually break the barrier surrounding this place!?

"We are surrounded! You are lucky there are knights nearby "

"What knights?" the Duke interrupted him.

"You " Clinton's expression changed.

"I heard we are surrounded by wolves young Moller. What are you going to do now? Do you think you can defeat the wolf King and escape this place?"

The Wolf King.

Clinton's already pale face turned even paler; it looked like a sheet of white paper. The Wolf King was twice or even thrice the size of a normal beast wolf and was the only known creature that could summon this many wolves! Meaning, the Wolf King was nearby! This was going to be a problem!

Not even the knights could defeat that man wolves. However, the man before him was a different story.

Duke Lucas Rothley slayed a wolf king when he was still a teenager! This was just one of the stories about the Duke's achievements!

"So this is your intention" Clinton uttered, defeated.

It was a trap. It was all a trap.

His father, Duke Moller, had been opposing the King by refusing to send more troops to Wugari. Because of this, there had been some delays and thus, Duke Lucas had to come here to talk to Duke Moller. However, Duke Moller was quick to tell everyone that he was ill and refused to see Duke Lucas.

Now, Duke Moller's only son and heir was trapped in this small town of Toorin with wolves ready to devour him alive. If Duke Moller wanted to see his son alive, he would have no choice but to see Duke Lucas.
