Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!
Chapter 347: Extortion
"On behalf of Duke Idar, Lord Bruno Stuart, I would like to say hello to you!"
As Asiba's words slowly fell, Duke Stann's pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly.
The look of horror on his face was as if he had seen a ghost.
"You...what are you talking about?"
"hey-hey!"
Seeing the identical expressions of Duke Stein and Bart Paris in front of him, Asiba's somewhat rough face squeezed out a faint smile:
"Your Majesty Duke Stein, Duke Idar sends his regards!"
After all,
The room fell into a deathly silence.
Duke Stein's forehead was already soaked with sweat, and sweat droplets as big as rain slowly dripped on the bedclothes under the Duke.
Some sweat is naturally due to the previous ups and downs,
But more importantly, it was the tension and pressure that Asiba's actions brought to him.
As a high-ranking aristocratic duke, Duke Stein is used to seeing all kinds of big scenes, and he is able to maintain his calm appearance most of the time.
But at this moment, his mind was filled with panic and his heart was beating nervously.
The accusations made by the Idar people against Duke Stann are not entirely dirty water, because he is indeed the main obstacle to the activities of the Idar people in the southern part of the kingdom.
The major setbacks suffered by the southern nobles in the wine market made many nobles hate the Idar people, and Duke Stein was one of them.
Whether it was the attack on the plantation, the intimidation and coercion faced by local workers, or the attack and murder of Harley Santa Cruz in the past few days,
These may not be directly related to Duke Stein, but most of them are operated and completed by the vassals under Duke Stein under the instruction of Duke Stein.
so,
When Asiba, leading his former personal guards, broke into his room arrogantly and greeted him on behalf of Duke Idar, Duke Stein was completely panicked.
On the one hand, it is natural to feel guilty, and on the other hand, it is the situation in his room.
Duke Stein's eyes glanced at Countess Bathory who was huddled in the quilt beside him, and he felt a headache.
Although all kinds of extravagant and lewd things are common among the nobles of the Kingdom of Basel, the nobles still want to have face.
Duke Stein knows very well that nobles may not be very upright in private, but once these things are put on the table...
So……
He will definitely not be able to escape the title of "adulterer"!
This will not only cause a huge blow to Duke Stein's personal prestige, but will also bring shame to the entire Stein family and make them a laughing stock in the eyes of countless nobles!
"Damn it, you want..."
Before Duke Stein finished speaking, an Idar agent who had just taken off his socks from his feet repeated the way he treated Bart Paris previously.
The socks, which smelled of salty fish and slut, were suddenly stuffed into Duke Stein's mouth, and even his wrists and ankles were tied tightly.
The naked Duke Stein was tied to the bed together with Mrs. Bathory.
This is undoubtedly a great insult to Duke Stein, who is over fifty years old.
"Damn it! Why don't you wash your feet!" Asiba glared at the agent and couldn't help but cover his nose.
"Isn't it too late..."
"Um¥*\u0026amp;Um @\u0026amp;%——"
On the side, the strange smell emitted by the salty fish socks almost made Duke Stein want to faint.
Damn it!
He is a noble!
Is this how these vulgar Idar people in front of them treat nobles? !
"Two people go to guard the door, and the rest start looking!"
"Find all the letters and secrets that may be hidden in this room, find all the letters that can prove the dirty relationship between Duke Stein and Countess Bathory!"
After all, there were no cameras or voice recorders in this era.
This also forced the Idar people to obtain the handle to blackmail Duke Stein by looking for written letters.
"Your Majesty, where are the letters of written communication between you and Mrs. Bathory? If you can tell me... I can help you change a pair of socks that don't smell so strong."
While the Idar agents were rummaging through the room, Asiba Raoping asked interestingly.
There is only one means of communication in this era, and that is to communicate with each other through letters, so... as long as you get the letter of communication between Duke Stein and Countess Bathory, you will have control over Duke Stein's fate.
If Duke Stann does not want to be ruined, he can only choose to cooperate with the Idar people!
Duke Stein, who had a sock stuffed in his mouth, seemed to snort coldly and turned his head away.
"Duke Stein, Idar people always keep their promises. If you had told us where those letters were placed earlier, you would have suffered less."
"and……"
Asiba changed the topic and put the cold scabbard on Duke Stein's lower body: "Even if we don't find the letter of communication between you and Mrs. Bathory, you, Duke Stein, must still do it in front of me. Write a letter in front of me!”
"Oh, no... ten letters, and the words must be sincere to express the otherworldly love between you and Mrs. Bathory." Asiba thought carefully and added.
Hearing this, Duke Stein couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Shameless!
If his mouth hadn't been stuffed with a pair of socks that smelled strongly of salted fish, Duke Stein would have put aside his dignity as a noble and cursed the guy in front of him!
This TM is simply indifferent? !
"Lord Asiba! We found it!"
Just when Asiba was planning to continue to have a more cordial and friendly exchange with Duke Stann, Agent Idar on the side came with a surprise call.
Hearing this, Duke Stein's pupils shrank and his whole body trembled.
Dozens of letters were locked in an inconspicuous wooden box. As the Idar agents violently opened the lock, letters that could ruin Duke Stein's reputation appeared in front of the Idar agents.
Asiba picked up a letter casually. Except that it was not stamped with Duke Stein's seal, the handwriting on it was indeed written by Duke Stein...
"Tsk tsk! I'll stamp it later and it will be perfect!"
While admiring, Asiba stood in front of Duke Stann and read softly intermittently: "Dear Lysa... Although we are hundreds of miles apart, I miss you as much as..."
"Well--"
Duke Stein, who had always been quite resistant to the Idar people's questions, finally showed a look of pleading.
"Okay...Actually, I'm still an upright person, and I don't want to know about these dirty deeds..."
Asiba shook his head without knowing anything, and finally folded up the letter and carefully placed the letters in the inner pocket of his coat.
"Now...I'm going to take out the salty fish-smelling socks from your mouth, but you can't yell, do you understand?"
Hearing this, Duke Stein nodded quickly.
Of course, he didn't dare to have other ideas, because the Idar people in front of him not only mastered his most secret things, but even put the scabbard in his hand...
"Cough cough cough!"
As the salty fish-smelling socks were finally picked out by Asiba, Duke Stein breathed in the fresh air around him as if he had been granted amnesty.
At this time, he still looked so naked. The double psychological and physical torture had caused him to lose all his dignity as a noble.
"What on earth do you want to do..."
Duke Stein looked a little tired and asked weakly.
"The plantation of the Principality of Idar in the southern part of the Kingdom of Basel..."
Before Asiba could finish speaking, Duke Stann quickly agreed: "I promise! From now on, the Idar people will travel unimpeded in the south of Basel! Any noble who dares to embarrass the Idar people will be Stann's Family enemy!"
There is no way, the situation is stronger than the people, who would have thought that the Idar people would be so... shameless...
Didn't it just slightly hinder the opening of the plantation? Is there any need to react so violently? ! Can't you just solve problems like a noble?
"That's right!"
Asiba is very satisfied with Duke Stein's cooperation at this time.
"Can I put on my clothes first, and can those letters..."
Duke Stann looked at the guy standing in front of him longingly and begged.
"Of course you can put on clothes, but those letters...Duke Stein, do you think this is the end?!"
Asiba paused and continued:
"My Lord Duke, you planned the assassination of Baron Henrik, obstructed the opening of the plantation and caused economic losses to the Principality of Idar, and caused mental distress to the Duke of Idar... This series of things must be given a conclusion. Reasonable solution!”
"Baron Henrik?"
Duke Stein looked confused: "Who is Baron Henrik? I have always adhered to the bottom line of being a noble, and I have never ordered the assassination of any noble!"
"Baron Henryk's full name is Harley Santa Cruz. He was born in the Kingdom of Basel and now works for Lord Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar." Axiba stated the facts calmly.
"How is this possible?! Harley Santa Cruz is clearly a civilian! How can it be..."
Duke Stein felt unbelievable: "How could Duke Idar push such a pariah to the position of a noble?! Although this is only the lowest baronage, it is an insult to the dignity of the Stuart family... …”
"My Lord Duke does not need these things to maintain his dignity, but Duke Stein, tsk tsk, is really astonishing and eye-opening..."
Hearing this, Duke Stein not only blushed but was speechless.
"Baron Henrik was attacked and killed, and now he does not know whether he is alive or dead. According to the wishes of my Lord Duke... Tooth for tooth, blood for blood, one of your vassals will also have to pay the same price in order to protect the principality of Idar. dignity!"
Although he was facing a duke, Asiba's words were particularly firm.
Because he understood that he was outside the principality at this time, and his own attitude also represented the attitude of Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar!
Likewise, only a resolute counterattack can make the southern nobles of the Kingdom of Basel feel in awe of the distant aristocratic territory of the Principality of Idar!
"So... I hope you can hand over the vassal who planned this attack, and he will pay the price for his actions."
"Make friends..."
Although Duke Stein was reluctant in every way, because it would undoubtedly have a bad impact on the reputation of the Stein family, but...when he thought of his handle being held in the hands of the Idar people, he felt like eating It's as uncomfortable as killing a fly.
Compared with his ruined reputation, it seemed that he could barely accept the handing over of a baron under his command...
The only thing you need to worry about is... once you hand that person over, your subordinates will inevitably have a grudge against him.
"Okay, this matter was planned by Baron Valdez. He lives in the city. I will hand him over to you..."
Duke Stein finally relaxed and said somewhat discouraged.
"Then there is compensation for the economic losses of the Principality of Idar..."
"Don't go too far!"
Duke Stein finally couldn't help but said.
First they want people, then they want money. According to the Idar people's routine, does this mean they have to empty out the Stann family's wealth?
"Duke Stein, the request I am making to you is actually not that excessive. If you refuse, it will be very difficult for me to ensure that the Idar warship anchored offshore will not attack your family castle. .”
"Are you threatening me?"
"Have I not always threatened you? And you also know that the Idar people..."
Boom!
Before Asiba could finish his words, he was interrupted by a roar coming from not far away.
Under the night,
The firelight soaring into the sky even overshadowed the bright moonlight in the night sky, illuminating the entire city.
Through the small window of Duke Stein's bedroom, the disheveled Duke Stein could clearly see UU Reading www.uukanshu.net the broken city wall after the explosion and the buildings ignited by the aftermath of the explosion.
The long-range weapons of the Idar people are really terrifying!
Although he had heard about the strength of the Idar people before, he always thought that the praise of the Idar army was exaggerated.
But now...
Whether it was the explosion that occurred in the city or the Idar agent guarding him, Duke Stein felt at a loss.
This Duke, who has never experienced a war, seems to no longer recognize the war methods used by Idar's army...
"Your Majesty Duke, you see... I originally just wanted to threaten you with a letter, but I didn't expect that Mr. Mal Caron can't wait anymore..."
Looking at the flames soaring into the sky outside the window, Axiba said with some regret.
"I will compensate Duke Idar for his financial losses. You decide the amount and conditions..." Duke Stein said through gritted teeth.
