****(POV)
"My Lord there is a situation!"
What the hell is it now?!
Why are these guys always intruding on my private ti?!
Can't they get a fucking clue?!
I give a kiss to the beauties surrounding and slowly get up.
"What is it now. If you disturbed for no reason, I'll have your head."
"My lord, there is sothing big happening at the library. There is a hostage situation and"
"Just send guards to take care of it! How useless can you be?!"
"T-that my lord, the hostage is from the upper-strata of Eaglevein."
Are you fucking kidding ?!
First, it's a dumb worthless guard that I have to tolerate.
With all that sli bullshit.
Now it's another scion getting in trouble.
Why the fuck am I the only one that needs to clean up after their shit.
This is irking.
Just let live in fucking peace already.
These guys can all die for all I care.
Why can't they just stay ho?
It's always the idiots that go to explore the world too.
The wise ones take on responsibilities in their respective families.
"*Sigh* Fine, what's the situation?"
"We have the place surrounded already. It turned out that there were many off-duty guards near the scene. The tar's guild also has many mbers in the area."
"Nice! We can leave this to the guild then! Let's just let them handle it. Ah, but do make a show out of it. Send many soldiers to support them. Do let them go first in case sothing goes wrong."
"Understood my Lord!"
He leaves.
This should be fine.
I guess I got lucky on that one.
With soldiers there the worst that can happen is the hostage dying.
Good things the tars are there to take the bla.
This is all a political ga.
If I play my cards well I can even use the incident to strip so of their powers.
I can use the argunt of wanting to increase the collaboration between us.
To prevent another tragedy from happening.
Well, that is how I would sell it.
So what if a dumb young second-generation gets killed.
They can all die for all I care.
I get back to the delicate bodies of my concubines until
"My Lord! Report!"
Goddamnit! Can't they just take care of it themselves?
Ah, *Sigh* fine. Guess I'll get dressed.
Sotis I hate this job.
"What is it now?"
"T-that there are updates. The tar guild is not getting involved at all. Apparently, only so of the younger tars are on the place out of curiosity. The core of their forces is staying out of it. They are apparently looking for one of theirs."
"Well that's easy, just sprinkle rumors that the one they are looking for is in the library. That should get them going."
"I tried that my Lord, but they said the one they are looking for wouldn't get caught in such a trifling matter like a dumbass."
"So they are busy looking for soone strong enough to deal with the entire hostage situation by himself. Just lie and say so of their younger mbers are inside the library! That should get them going!"
"My lord that's the strange part. The hostage is one of theirs. They still do not care."
What the hell?!
Are we talking about the proud tar's guild here?!
The one that won't give an inch of ground in negotiations.
The one that is always independent.
Is it really that one?
Yet now they are not caring one bit about a loss of face.
There is sothing weird going on.
"M-my lord, there is more."
"What is it?"
"They sent a list of demands. So of the points there are extrely outrageous."
"What? Are they asking for lots of gold? Are they asking for a carriage to get away from the city?"
"T-that, there was the request for you to sing and dance buck naked in the town square my lord."
What the hell?!
Who is the fucker doing this!
Is this so sort of elaborate plan to make lose power?
Is the guild actually behind this?
Are they trying to use the argunt that life should be more precious than my dignity?
This is bad.
It is a really stupid move on their part.
Still, one that could screw over.
If only the hostage was any random citizen.
We could just enter and kill them all.
Captor and hostage included.
That is why I hate nobles.
Always gotta walk on eggshells around them.
"Who exactly is the one doing the deed?"
Maybe I can get a clue on the exact situation by knowing exactly who their puppet is.
"We don't know my lord."
"What do you an you don't know? Didn't they say their demands?!"
"T-that, there used to be two guards at the door of the library. They both saw everyone that entered it. However, only one of them saw the situation inside directly."
"Just interrogate that guy then! Do I have to tell you how to do your job?!"
"My lord, he won't cooperate. There is one thing he kept repeating over and over, however."
"What would that be?"
"He said that the guy inside said that he would only negotiate with that him my lord. He also"
"That is understandable, if that guy is obedient of course he would. Let's fire that guard afterward. You were saying?"
"My lord he also said sothing worrying. He said that no matter what we should not anger the one inside. Otherwise, it would potentially lead to the destruction of the whole city."
"What?! Preposterous! The destruction of MY city! How retarded can you be to believe him! He is obviously an accomplice!"
How fucking useless! I taught these guards of mine to be careful.
Still, the way they are acting now is simply stupidity.
As if anyone would have the power to single-handedly destroy this place.
I kind of want to kill this dumbass right here and now
But I really can't appear right now.
"Go back out there. Stop being stupid. Just send a rescue squad already. Make sure the tar's guild cooperates too. Force them if you have to. Now go and don't co back before all this ss is cleaned up!"
Hopefully, these dumbasses will resolve it quickly.
As long as I don't personally appear Everything should be fine.
