Chapter 99
After reading the letter, Justin understood the circumstances, "It looks like that weapon is a real deal from the way the Royal family conducted their business so fast . Such a foolish man, it would have been better for him to keep this weapon a secret and use it in tis of need . "
Justin later gravely added, "However, if that weapon is so potent then wouldn’t it cause a lot of casualties to our n . "
Duke Blackwolf gave a mysterious smile as he gave his conclusion, "Well, it would have been different if it were only us targetting them . However, this ti he has made a lot of enemies and I am sure that even the Royal family would like to take a bite out of that Juicy trade which is taking place at North-frontier town . I heard he has also started making superior paper in his domain . anwhile, we can also use Max from the Morgan family to know about the whereabouts and the dealings of his Brother Joseph . And the very fact that Evan’s brother is giving out his whereabouts ans, we don’t need to get our hands dirty . There will be a good show in the north from now on . However, a lot of people will be burned from the way I am looking at the events that are taking place . "
Justin curiously asked, "Why do you say that Lord?"
Blackwolf spoke in a grave tone, "You might not know about that man Vlad, but I very well know about that man . And from the way he is deploying his important n at North-frontier town . I am sure a big event would take place . Last ti around when we attacked their caravans we lost all of our n . Who knew he would deploy his elites to protect that caravan . This is also one of the reasons why I stopped targetting the soap caravans going north-west to Fire-Abyss kingdom . "

Evan’s eldest brother Ralph said in the court to his father, "It seems Evan once again ruined our plans because of his ego . It was good that we can at least start our attacks on the Morgan family fleet with the premise of taking revenge for lost reputation at North-frontier town . I heard Marcus died at the hands of a slave, what are your opinions, Father?"
Duke Fjord was a short man of 5 feet and 5 inches, he was wearing a full armor which was blue, from the looks it seed like an armor customized for Naval Battles . He was sitting in his courtroom .
Duke Fjord thought and said, "It seems there was a reason why that Baron intended to protect that slave, You might think that Marcus was a nobody, But in terms of strength alone he ca top 5 in our Knight order . "
Ralph smiled as he spoke so unpleasant words, "I don’t think that Darius would be too happy hearing the death of his brother . "
Duke Fjord furrowed his eyebrows as he heard this, he spoke as he assured his n in the court, "Of course, we will take our revenge for their despicable display and killing Marcus with unfair ans by using demonic assassin techniques . Imdiately order our n to raid any of Morgan family ships from now on in eastern seas when they cross the northern and southern belt, I will see how long he can protect a slave when their pockets start hurting . That upstart will rub his nose at our feet to stop these attacks . I will make sure he faces 10 tis the humiliation that my son and our n faced over there . "
Ralph smiled as he thought of his father’s orders, ’Hmph . . . , I am quite sure you are happy for the first ti because of Evan’s actions since you legitimately got a chance to rob their ships . I wonder how Prince Hector will fare at Evan’s assassination . I hope they take so action so I can get rid of that pesky kid hogging all the resources from father and only focus on eldest brother, Grim . I wonder what does father sees in him with all the ruckus he usually makes . Well, he will still die either way, if not, I can still humiliate him because of that previous incident in North-frontier town . ’

This Ti Ambassador Luke personally t King Lionheart at his mansion .
Lionheart heartily laughed as he greeted Luke, "hahaha, you made quite a good deal with that novice . We practically didn’t pay him anything apart from magic tal mine for the blueprints and the production line of those ballistas . Those very specs of the ballista get excited so much that I can’t even wait to get my hands on them . It’s good that we got it cheap . "
Luke smiled and spoke confidently, "Well, he was in a bind because of offending all the dukes left and right not to ntion Prince Hector so it was not hard to get such a deal out of him . However, I don’t think Prince Hector will be happy with such a turn of events . From this deal, I can see that Count John particularly targetted Prince Hector’s Banquet with an intent to ruin his plan and previously he also offended Duke Evan so I guess he revealed his ace to show his power as well as to let people think twice before targetting him and not to take him as a pushover . While it was good that his ideologies didn’t et with Radiant church or we would have been in a bind . "
Lionheart nodded, "Hmm . . . it’s true that it was for him not having the sa ideologies as Radiant church, I think he got that weapon from that Dwarf Tornwall . Even if Duke bluesea of Fireabyss kingdom gets this weapon, we shouldn’t be worried about this noble anymore . That guy has quite the guts to humiliate a royalty since he intended to target Hector with this announcent . I guess he knew about Hector’s nature and hence the backlash . Anyway, I heard he has recently started a University with an intent to cover all occupations and commoners at his Domain and those old n at Imperial University are raging just because so of the teachers left them and that increased their work . "
Luke thought when heard about hector from the king, ’Well your nature is the sa, isn’t it in the genes?’
Luke then replied, "I guess those old n felt a little loss of their power and authority since a lot of guys left because of not getting chances over all the years . I think one reason might be those guys openly defying them after bottling up all those experiences all these years . When I was at North-frontier town, I saw the Rose Institute, it was quite bigger than our Imperial University, I guess those old n didn’t like this fact the most . "
Lionheart furrowed his brows when he heard Rose Institute being bigger than Imperial University, "I wonder how were they able to fund and make such a big structure in such a short period of ti . It seems there are a lot of secrets in North-frontier City . As for those Old n, it’s true they were more angry at the fact that many of those n cursed them and talked ill about them in broad daylight before leaving for Rose Institute . "
Luke spoke without any care as he expressed his thoughts, "Well, As a foodie, I would like to be stationed at that city for all my life . Their food is quite good as I heard in the rumors . I guess he is earning a lot because the food in his domain is quite good . Even the commoners making food at the stalls are worthy to be appreciated . I guess Count John was very successful in spreading the food culture in his city which has increased the interest of people in making delicious dishes at that town . "
Lionheart thought neutrally and spoke, "It seems even I will have to try the food at Hope soti in the future . "
Luke rembered the wine and told the king, "However, I think you should be worried about your brother-in-law if that guy decides to sell that alcohol in huge quantities that he served at his banquet the last ti . They were particularly strong and had a better taste than all the wines that I ever drank here or outside Aelius . However, he indicated at the Banquet that those wines would only be sold at his restaurants and inside North-frontier City in small quantities to everyone so people can’t profit from buying in huge bulk . It can be seen that he decided to back off in this business because he knew of your brother-in-law and was quite cautious if we misunderstood . "
King Lionheart laughed as he heard him, "hahaha, It looks like he intentionally said those words so he won’t antagonize us . Well, you know how we work, right? Just make sure to secure those blueprints . Did you have any more news from that banquet?"
