Chapter 16: Rightful Heir. (5)
On the other side, Lucien finally sat on the barons throne. Feeling free and young.
"Finally i am the Baron. Who is not fearing for his life live in constant pressure of dying."
Now that weeds on the house taken care of, he finally could sigh and breath properly. Waiting to hear about the good news of death of his first enemy on this world he calmly sat on the chair.
In front, servants and loyal guards were still cleaning the room of the dead bodies. Meanwhile, the merchants were boasting about his achievements, promising to spread word of his success throughout Dorwyn and beyond. Lucien didn’t take their praise to heart—he knew all too well that these people simply sought power and wanted to stay close to the one now seated as Baron.
After all, the reality was clear—Argrave was a merchant city. Without the merchants, the name Argrave would hold no weight.
And it was the ruling noble family’s duty to control those merchants, now that some merchant was actually leaved tugged their own tail meant there will be obvious change on the power structure on the city.
No matter how sweet their praise sounded now, once the chaos settled, their loyalty would remain questionable.
After all, hadn’t they only rushed to the castle after hearing of his victory?
But soon, bad news came to him Baroness and her daughter successfully flee to unknown but luckily some Sally soldiers were captured.
