Chapter 167: Chapter 166 Catching the Adulterers in the Act Chapter 167: Chapter 166 Catching the Adulterers in the Act Battle Qi sword radiance, exceedingly sharp.
Compared to the cutting of a weapon, the sword radiance of Battle Qi is even more destructive.
Russell, who had mastered the Six Vein Divine Sword, could say he himself was an extrely sharp blade, even without carrying a weapon, he could still display a knight’s combat power to the fullest.
Noon.
Viscount jie and his wife, Baron Roman and his wife, as well as the visiting relatives Cooper and Rolin, all returned to the castle.
“Where is Roland?” Lady ryl frowned as the lunch began, “He didn’t co ho all night yesterday, and we still haven’t seen him by noon today.”
Baron Roman soothed with a comnt, “Roland has grown up, he has his own social circle, let him be.”
“We ca to visit father, not to let him dally here,” Lady ryl said.
Viscount jie laughed, “ryl, it’s rare for Roland to co, just let him enjoy himself unrestrained, there’s no need to impose restrictions.”
Lady ryl did not agree and began to inquire from l, “You know where Roland is, don’t you?”
Cousin l did not tell the truth, “Cousin Roland didn’t tell where he went.”
“What about you, Russell? Did your older brother tell you where he is going?”
“He didn’t say, only that he would hurry back this morning.” Russell was embarrassed to directly tell his mother about Roland’s involvent with a widowed baroness.
“Really!” Lady ryl said angrily.
Earl rlin spoke indifferently, “Roland has already wished happy birthday, now wherever he wants to go and have fun, just let him. He treats Tributary River Mouth like his own ho, if he doesn’t co back tonight, you all leave tomorrow and let Roland stay here for a few more days.”
l laughed, “Yes, aunt, it would be great if Cousin Roland could stay, Russell and I would have one more person for company.”
Seeing everyone speaking this way, Lady ryl found it hard to say anything more.
However, as luck would have it, before the lunch was even finished, the castle’s steward walked in and whispered sothing into Earl rlin’s ear.
Lady ryl, who was sitting close to Earl rlin, heard the steward ntion “Roland”, and after the steward left, she imdiately asked, “Father, is it related to Roland, did sothing happen to him outside?”
Earl rlin smiled, “He encountered a small issue, it’s nothing serious, let’s have our al and I will tell you about it afterwards.”
With such an interruption, the atmosphere for enjoynt was lost, and everyone hastily finished their lunch.
Only Russell had a great appetite, devouring a large amount of food imbued with Magic Power, assimilating and absorbing it to replenish the drained Battle Qi in his ridians.
They moved to the drawing room, where servants offered tea.
Earl rlin gestured for the steward to speak about the earlier report.
The steward cleared his throat and said, “Here’s what happened, last night, Mr. Roland stayed at Pine Forest Manor, which is the residence of the widowed Mrs. Kelly. This morning, he was cornered in his room by Mrs. Kelly’s 12-year-old son along with two uncles…”
Mrs. Kelly’s husband was the forr lord of Pine Forest Manor, the Phantom Beast Knight, Lord Ka Bingge.
Lord Ka Bingge died in battle on the Snowfield nine years ago, leaving behind a three-year-old son, Carpenter, and a widow’s ten years of continuity.
Now, Carpenter is twelve, and he has two distant uncles who are both Great Knights and also private tutors to Carpenter.
Roland and Mrs. Kelly’s illicit affair was caught in the act by Carpenter, who had joined forces with the two uncles.
So.
Without any escort knights, Roland was detained at Pine Forest Manor, and at the sa ti, Carpenter accused Roland at Bluebird Castle of the cri of adultery with his mother and insulting his deceased father, as a son of Baron Ka Bingge.
He even inford several other lords and barons who were acquainted with Baron Ka Bingge, and they ca together to Bluebird Castle seeking an explanation.
“Such a worthless thing!” Lady ryl was so furious her face turned pale, and she couldn’t help but sneak a glance at her sister-in-law, Lady Kuna.
Lady Kuna’s expression was indifferent, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, but she remained silent.
Lady ryl then turned to Viscount jie, “Big brother…”
“Don’t worry,” Viscount jie said soothingly, before addressing Earl rlin, “Father, this is probably not a simple case of catching soone in the act.”
Earl rlin was rather open-minded and smiled slightly, “One learns from falling into a pit. It’s also ti for Roland to understand that a woman’s bed is the most difficult to climb into.”
“Father!” Lady ryl said in exasperation.
Baron Roman’s face was embarrassed, and as he was comforting his wife, he said, “Father-in-law, Sir, please relay Carpenter’s demands to , and I will compensate for them. Roland has committed such an ugly act that you can punish him at will.”
“Everyone makes mistakes when they’re young. Whether it’s punishnt or education, the two of you can go ho and deal with it yourselves,” Earl rlin waved his hand dismissively, “As for Carpenter’s demands, it can only be so much. jie, you take care of the arrangents.”
“Yes, Father.”
Earl rlin didn’t inquire further, and Viscount jie quickly discussed the matter with Baron Roman and his wife.
Finally, Viscount jie made a decision, “I’m aware of Mrs. Kelly’s behavior over the years… Extending the five-year inheritance period is a fair deal for Lord Ka Bingge, and it should also shut Carpenter up.”
Lady ryl gratefully said, “Thank you, big brother, for taking the trouble. We insist on paying for the revenue of the five-year inheritance period.”
“There’s no need to be so formal.”
“This trouble was caused by Roland, and logically and emotionally, we should be the ones to pay,” Baron Roman also insisted that the Fluorescent Fungi Family cover the compensation.
After that, they sent a ssage to Carpenter and others with the response from Bluebird Castle and dispatched a squad of knights to bring Roland back.
Throughout the whole process, Russell had not seen the victim, Carpenter.
But soon, the butler ca to report, “Carpenter has agreed, and the lords and nobles are quite satisfied with Bluebird Castle’s response. After conveying their respects to you, Sir, they left with Carpenter… Mr. Roland is unhard; he has only been detained.”
“That’s good, that’s good,” Lady ryl breathed a sigh of relief.
“Alright, now you can rest assured and go back for a nap. Roland will be back soon,” Earl rlin said as he rose and left the drawing room.
Baron Roman wrapped his arm around Lady ryl to return to their room for a noon rest, also to compose themselves.
Lola was taken away as well.
Viscount jie and his wife followed Earl rlin, apparently because Lady Kuna had sothing to discuss with him.
The drawing room was left with only Russell and his cousin l, who was slinging his arm around Russell’s shoulder.
“I knew it,” l laughed, “Dating Mrs. Kelly was simple for Roland, but getting away from her was the hard part. I thought that Roland would have to ‘bleed’ a little, at least give away a Spirit Insect or sothing. Never expected that kid Carpenter to be so ruthless!”
They were all adults and could see Roland’s predicant clearly.
It wasn’t just a chance that Carpenter caught Roland in the act, but a trap that had been planned long ago, waiting for Roland to jump in.
Russell curiously said, “What I’m puzzled about is, by doing this, wouldn’t Mrs. Kelly and Carpenter completely cut themselves off from the Tributary River Mouth area? Not only would they offend Bluebird Castle, but Mrs. Kelly’s reputation would also be utterly ruined.”
“Mrs. Kelly didn’t have a good reputation to begin with. Gaining five years to prolong her inheritance period is a big win,” l said. “As for offending Bluebird Castle, it probably doesn’t matter to Carpenter and his mother; after all, a grandfather and a father have to consider their subordinates’ feelings.”
“That’s true,” Russell nodded his head.
The lords accompanied Carpenter to Bluebird Castle to make their complaint, clearly stating that they could die in battle, but their widows and children should not be slighted.
If Bluebird Castle didn’t show the right attitude, it would definitely alienate the lords and nobles.
“So, Russell,” l summarized earnestly, “We must guard against the mistake that Roland made. We need to know which beds we can climb into and which we can’t. At the very least, we should investigate clearly before climbing into any bed!”
Russell rolled his eyes, “I don’t climb into other people’s beds!”
l wrapped his arm around Russell and gave him a gentle punch in the stomach, “That’s being too self-righteous, brother!”
