Chapter 404: Chapter 194: The Ducas Clan Is Falling Apart (10,000 Words)_3
When the knight arrived with the Earlly report, many thoughts flashed through his mind.
He considered keeping them outside the castle walls or even shooting them dead at the foot of the wall.
It seed possible to kill them and silence them from spreading any information about the territory.
But Lynn was not sure if anyone else knew besides Godfrey and Danke.
Blindly shooting might backfire and hasten the arrival of Lawrence’s army.
Therefore.
He could only invite the two into the territory, to so extent, showing goodwill to Godfrey.
He took out all the evidence he currently had to prove that his claim to the territory was legitimate.
That he was indeed the true Lord of this land!
Thus, it was to buy more ti for the developnt of this land.
As for letting Godfrey leave, whatever consequences might follow, Lynn could not control.
...
Under the night sky.
Along the winding li road between fields, several figures on horseback galloped steadily.
The sounds of hooves echoed non-stop.
Passing through fields, over hills and forests.
Under Rose’s watchful eyes, two riders left the castle walls, heading into the distant darkness.
Danke held a torch in one hand and reins in the other, driving his horse beside Godfrey.
He glanced at Godfrey and saw that Godfrey’s eyes were unfocused, as if pondering sothing.
The words in Danke’s mouth were about to co out, but he decided to remain silent.
Until several minutes later.
Danke looked at Godfrey again and found that Godfrey’s expression had returned to normal.
Just as he was about to speak, Godfrey spoke first: "Danke, did you feel anything unusual about that Lord?"
Danke raised an eyebrow, "Unusual?"
He pondered for a mont, then attempted to say, "Sir, are you referring to his calm deanor? Or his unflustered manner?"
Godfrey shook his head, "No, I an his appearance."
Danke recalled for a few seconds, then said, "Sorry, sir, I didn’t observe closely."
Godfrey sighed and said, "From his face, I saw a hazy outline of another face..."
Danke looked curiously at Godfrey, "Another face?"
Godfrey sighed, "Yes, from his face, I saw the young face of Marquis Donovan..."
"In his youth, Marquis Donovan was idolized by almost everyone in Bordeaux City!"
"He was brave, resourceful... and the object of admiration for countless young won."
"But from this Lord’s face, I seed to see Marquis Donovan in his youth..."
Danke still looked puzzled, but in the next second, he seed to realize sothing.
He suddenly looked at Godfrey and couldn’t help but say, "Sir, do you an..."
Even though Danke didn’t finish his sentence, Godfrey still understood the implication.
Godfrey nodded, "Such a close resemblance, aside from being a descendant of Lord Donovan, I can’t think of any other possibility."
Even though this is a borderland, it is still within the territory of Marquis Ducas.
Plus, the sealed docunt Lynn presented...
As a knight enfeoffed by the Ducas Clan, he was naturally very familiar with the Ducas family’s crest.
That was a genuine sealed docunt!
There couldn’t be any falsification.
Following this line of reasoning...
Mark Ducas inherited the title of Marquis only a few months ago, so it couldn’t have been him who enfeoffed Lynn as the Lord of this territory.
Before Marquis Donovan abdicated, he must have granted this territory to Lynn Blake.
A young man whose na was unheard of, yet could receive the personal enfeoffnt of Marquis Donovan.
The only possibility is that Lynn is Marquis Donovan’s unrecognized son!
Lynn’s surna is Blake, indicating clearly that Lynn had not received recognition from the Ducas family, unworthy of receiving the Ducas family surna.
Whether he was sent away or dispatched to the frontier to develop the land...
Everything made sense!
Godfrey suddenly thought of sothing, his eyebrows shot up.
According to Ducas family customs, only family descendants over fifteen years old would receive enfeoffnt, allowing them to develop on their own.
Or they remain within the family, pledging allegiance to Marquis Ducas.
Combining this with the facial resemblance seen earlier, Godfrey felt Lynn was just a teenager!
In other words.
In a very short ti, Lynn cultivated a large area of wasteland in this remote border area, constructing a large-scale town and castle walls!
Even organized an ard force to annihilate a Bandit Corps of fifteen hundred n?
Thinking of this, Godfrey’s heart was greatly shaken.
If his speculation was true, then Lynn Blake’s ability...
Godfrey couldn’t think of any words to describe it!
If other Donovan Marquis descendants were compared to Lynn, what kind of useless people would they be?
This was Godfrey’s first feeling from the depths of his heart!
Although Danke didn’t possess Godfrey’s strong logical abilities, hearing Godfrey’s last statent.
He couldn’t help but open his mouth wide.
The Lord just t was a descendant of Marquis Donovan?
This...
Godfrey’s heart was full of complexity, he glanced at Danke, "Let’s go, we need to return and report to Lord Lawrence."
"Today is the final deadline!"
