Chapter 93 Blackmail 2


Chapter 93 Blackmail 2

"Uncle Kent, if you agree, I would like to meet Earl Grayman."

Emerson immediately stood up and expressed his willingness to serve Kent The count went to Arda.

This is a good opportunity to consolidate the relationship between the two families. For cassock nobles like the Wilder family, it is extremely necessary to have a fiefdom noble as a strong support.

The Earl of Kent said happily: "I feel more relieved if I have someone like you who can speak well."

The Kent father and son did not feel uncomfortable discussing such a matter in front of members of another family, because their two families have long been regarded as a community of interests.

If Emerson can participate, then after the Kent family obtains the expected benefits, the Wilder family will definitely be indispensable.

"Uncle Kent, where should I start when I arrive in Arda?"

Emerson had already roughly understood what happened from the conversation between Kent and his son, but he I still plan to ask the Earl of Kent for advice.

The Earl of Kent touched his bare chin, thought for a while, and after a long time he said:

“Let’s start with the words of Bailding’s vassals. If the other party has sufficient evidence...”

“In our place, Ferdinand, the Duke of the Northwest, is His Majesty the King’s largest vassal. Hum. ! Grayman took over the territory next door without even consulting the Duke. He didn't take the Duke seriously."

"Even if the truth of the matter is what he said. If so, it will be up to Duke Ferdinand to make the decision. It is not his turn to act rashly."

"After you go, seize this point and see how the young earl responds. "

Emerson said that he had written it down, and then asked: "So, Uncle Kent, what do you want from the Graiman family?"

The Earl did not answer the question, but took out a piece of paper and handed it to Emerson.

Emerson glanced at the paper, put it away carefully, and said: "I will definitely not disappoint your expectations."

The Earl drank the "drink" in the glass in one gulp After finishing his work, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a napkin and said with a smile:

“This little Graiman is young and energetic, does things recklessly, and will cause great trouble to his family sooner or later. So it is necessary for me to do it for him. His deceased father taught him a lesson.”

“Uncle Kent took great pains to educate his younger generation. I really admire him.”

"Hahaha!"

The three people laughed loudly in the restaurant.

Up to now, the three people here have not considered what to do if Paul Graiman rejects their request, because in their view, this issue is not a problem at all.

The Kent family is the most powerful family in this area after Duke Ferdinand of the Northwest. There are more than 50 knights directly under the family, and there are also 10 vassal baronies in the territory, and each baron has another Each has a different number of knights.

As long as he gives an order, he can summon a team of about 100 knights. In the northwest bay area, who dares to underestimate such a force.

Needless to say, Alda didn't need to say more. Even if Paul Grayman drove away the pirates and annexed Bailding, could he build a force that could rival the Kent family in such a short period of time?

So, Graiman may hesitate and bargain, but he definitely doesn’t have the guts to refuse outright.

Soon, Emerson set off for Lake Town.

......

To Emerson's surprise, he hit a wall as soon as he arrived in Lake Town. After arriving in Lake Town, his biggest feeling was that the streets were very clean. After he came to the northwest, he did not stay in the Earl of Kent's territory all day long. Instead, he visited many places, but every town he visited was dirty. Pretty.

“This is a good place to live.” With this thought in mind, he came to the castle gate in Lake Town.

Emerson revealed his identity as a noble of the royal capital and an envoy of the Kent family to the guards standing guard, saying that he had something urgent to see Earl Grayman.

After the guard went in to report, a man dressed elegantly came out soon.

He was very strange: "Strange, shouldn't Earl Grayman be only fifteen or sixteen years old? This man must be more than twenty years old, right?"

The elegant man walked up to him and said politely: "I am Bernard Francis, Count Graeman's secretary. Please follow me to the reception room."

Emerson suddenly I feel offended!

He represents the Kent family, which ranks second in strength in the northwest bay area, and he is also a noble himself. He made it clear to the guards just now.

It’s okay if the other party doesn’t come out to greet him in person, but he casually sends a clerk to send him away. This is simply too little regard for Emerson and the Kent family. Take it seriously.

In the past six months in the northwest, Emerson has also visited other families in other territories. After the other party learned that he was a relative of the Kent family and a noble of the royal capital, they were helpless. As soon as he stopped flattering and entertained people wholeheartedly, he unknowingly developed an extremely conceited mentality.

"Please lead the way!"

Emerson adjusted his mentality, put aside his unhappiness for the time being, and followed Bernard to the reception room of the castle.

Bernard asked respectfully: "Excuse me, what is the purpose of your visit here?"

Emerson shook his head: "I can only tell Mr. Grayman personally, Please ask him to meet me quickly."

Unexpectedly, the man in front of him who called himself Bernard said: "Master Graiman is busy with other affairs now. I am his chief secretary. You can do anything you want. Tell me, and I will convey it to Mr. Grayman verbatim."

"I'm sorry, I can only say it to Mr. Grayman in person!"

Emerson emphasized again. Although he said sorry before, his tone was already a bit unkind.

Bernard was very depressed. He didn't know where he had offended the envoy in front of him. The tone he spoke just now clearly had a hint of intimidation.

He recalled Paul's schedule and said helplessly: "Mr. Messenger, if you insist on seeing Mr. Grayman before speaking, you can only wait until tomorrow afternoon. The count will be there tomorrow afternoon. The previous schedule is already full.”

Paul once told him the priorities of various matters, such as when a lord of the same level sent an envoy to see him, if the other party did not come to declare war or negotiate. If there is business cooperation, then go to the back row.

Since Emerson was unwilling to speak, Bernard had to put him back.

Emerson suddenly became angry after hearing this!

He had carefully inquired about the Graiman family before he came. Because he was on the wrong side in the palace struggle, he was sent to the northwest bay, and he was also prohibited from making vassals. Let alone formal titles such as viscount and baron. Nobles, not even regular knights.

A family like this, even inferior to those slightly stronger viscounts, dared to ignore the envoy of the Kent family like this.

"Okay, okay! Then I will wait for the meeting with Mr. Grayman tomorrow afternoon."

Emerson smiled instead of being angry, and decided to have some fun with this young earl who didn't know how high the sky was.
