Chapter 147: A Duke's Plight 2

"Sir I think I think the Duke and his people are here!" one of his soldiers said. Almost immediately Clinton's expression lit up.

"Go and welcome " before he could even finish his words, he immediately noticed something was wrong. The arrival of the Duke of Lonyth attracted the attention of the wolves and the majority of the beasts turned and immediately ran toward the Duke and his people.

"Father!" Clinton screamed. "Someone go help them! Go!"

Seeing the hopelessness of the current situation, he got on his horse and raced towards the south gates. It was where Duke Lucas was staying with his people.

"Hea!" Clinton silently prayed that he was not going to be late. It did not take too long for him to see Duke Lucas on the platform.

"My father is here!" he shouted as he jumped down and rushed towards the Duke.

"My father and his people are here!" His eyes lingered on the woman standing next to the Duke. Her white hair was especially noticeable.

"Ah sadly, I cannot welcome them." Duke Lucas said. "The barrier is about to break."

"You What do you want me to do!?"

"What?"

Seeing the man's nonchalant smile, Clinton understood.

To Duke Lucas, their lives never mattered. Even if everyone died here, the people of Lonyth could not do anything, and would just assume that it was an accident caused by the wolves.

The title of the Dukedom would be transferred to someone else from the Moller family, perhaps his cousin or someone else.

The kingdom of Lonyth would never dare to accuse Duke Lucas of scheming or killing the Moller father and son.

"I will serve you!" Clinton said as he bit his thumb. "Give me the contract!"

Smiling, the Duke looked at his assistant and in response, the man with red eyes handed him a piece of parchment paper. Since Clinton had already read the contents of the contract, he signed it in blood with his thumbprint. Then he watched as the contract caught on fire in front of his eyes.

The contract had been finalized.

Since a sorcerer created it, death was the only punishment if one of the people named in the contract dishonored it.

Rosalind followed his gaze and noticed that Denys and another man were already outside the barrier slaughtering the wolves. Soon enough, blood started to color the white snow, and the stench of blood and the sound of injured animals filled the air.

Rosalind could not help but shiver at the grotesque scene in front of her.

Then she heard it.

A howl so loud, it made the ground shake. The hairs on the back of her neck stood up as goosebumps skittered all over her.

She looked towards the east.

And there it was.

A black wolf that was double the size of a normal demonic one.

What was the most noticeable was the fact that it had a single horn on its forehead. To her surprise, this wolf was even larger than the snake that they fought in the forest near Rakha Kingdom.

A demonic wolf king!

This was even stronger than a normal wolf king!

Another howl echoed.

This time, the soldiers standing next to Rosalind retreated, some of them even fainted. The loud howl brought something that easily affected normal men.

She looked at the Duke.

Despite everything, the man still looked calm. There was not an iota of emotion on his face.

"That " Without thinking, she held his arm. Before she could process everything, she had already started blessing him.

Her light blessing could easily boost someone's strength, and the greater the strength, the bigger the boost. She was very confident that this would protect the Duke.

She thought she heard him murmur something to himself, but the chaos around her was too much so she did not hear his words.

When she opened her eyes, the Duke was already staring intently at her face.

"It seems that we have a lot of things to talk about," he remarked before jumping off the platform. Just like Denys, the Duke disappeared before her very eyes.
