Chapter 94 Blackmail 3


Chapter 94 Blackmail 3

Emerson waited until noon the next day with resentment.

After Paul said goodbye to Queller and his party and teased his female advisor a little, Bernard sent someone to find Emerson and informed him that he could meet with Count Grayman at 2 p.m. The location is still the drawing room of the castle.

At two o'clock, Paul came to the drawing room, but did not see the messenger.

“Forget it, just wait for a while.”

Paul opened a book and sat in the living room and started reading.

After reading a chapter, he looked up at the grandfather clock in the living room. Fifteen minutes had passed.

He shook his head, feeling slightly unhappy. Since taking over the position of lord, he has never met anyone who dared to let him go.

After waiting for a while, it was already half past two, and Paul couldn't help it.

"Bernard!" he shouted.

The chief secretary immediately ran over from the office, "What's the matter? Lord Grayman!"

"Huh? Where is Sir Emerson? Is he gone already?" Bernard noticed that something seemed wrong. .

Paul said dissatisfied: "I have to ask you again! Didn't you notify me at the wrong time?"

The chief secretary immediately said: "Impossible, Mr. Graiman "At half past one, I sent someone to remind him again."

Paul became confused: "Is there something wrong? I sent someone to look for him again."


"Yes, Lord Grayman." Bernard turned around and left.

At this time, a servant came in and reported: "Sir Emerson, Emden's envoy, came to visit Earl Grayman."

Paul suddenly became angry and annoyed: "Okay ! It seems that I was simply let off by others."

The chief secretary was a little surprised and said: "Oh! This is too much."

The messenger was a little domineering. It looked like that, but after all, I was just a secretary, so I didn’t think anything of it.

Now it seems that this envoy is simply arrogant. He actually made a dignified earl wait for him for half an hour. He decided to stay in the drawing room and see how things would develop.

The servant brought Emerson in, and Paul glanced at him. He looked pretty good, but there was a bit of a sinister look in his eyes. I don't know if he was born like this or pretended.

Emerson came to Paul and performed an aristocratic courtesy.

Paul didn't even want to stand up, let alone return the gift. He just pointed to the opposite side to signal the messenger to sit down.

Seeing Paul's appearance, Emerson raised the corner of his mouth slightly and sat down.

Then Paul asked: "Your Majesty has come all the way to Huxin Town. What advice do you have?"

Emerson said unhurriedly: "I don't take the advice seriously. I am here to give you some advice." The order of the Earl of Kent comes here to ask you about Alda's unauthorized detention of the Earl of Garnard."

"What?" Paul sneered.

Emerson nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, Viscount Angelo, the steward of Bailding, has clearly informed the surrounding lords of the whole story."

Paul disdain : "Humph! I also sent you a notice, haven't you read it? Or do you just believe the one-sided words of those traitors?"

The other party shook his head: "Mr. Graiman, please don't confuse right and wrong."

Paul turned to Bernard and ordered: "Invite Myron here." He was too lazy to talk nonsense to Emerson and just straightened up. Lord, hand it over and see what the other party says.

The living room fell into silence. Paul was too lazy to pay attention to the messenger who let him down and said that he was confusing right and wrong. He picked up the book and continued to read.

Emerson did not speak any more and began to close his eyes to rest, looking neither anxious nor bored.

After a while, Myron came to the living room. He had been told by Bernard what happened. As soon as he came in, he said:

"Mr. Messenger, what Angelo and others said is all nonsense. These traitors murdered My father, their lord, later plotted against me. Fortunately, I overheard their conversation, wrote a secret letter to my blood-sworn brother, Paul Gleiman, and escaped before they realized that the plot had been exposed. Arriving at Lake Town, Paul sent troops to defeat the traitors."

"In short, please don't listen to the traitors' misleading words."

Emerson waited quietly for Mellon. After finishing speaking, he said with a smile: "Earl Garner, I know you are in danger now and have to say something against your will, but please rest assured that the Earl of Kent will definitely seek justice for you."

Paul He and Mailon were speechless after hearing what he said. What kind of operation is this?

Myron refuted: "I am very good now, completely free."

Emerson shook his head and said: "If you hadn't been under house arrest, if it hadn't been for Earl Grayman's attempt to annex Bayer. Ding, how do you explain that you have not returned to Butuya but are still staying in Huxin Town, and how do you explain that all the government orders in Bairding are issued by Huxin Town? "

Mailon? Explained: "Because my people are all traitors, I don't have loyal and capable assistants to help me govern Bairding, so I have to turn to Lake Town for help, and I just returned to Butu a few days ago Ya convened a meeting with the businessmen in the territory and stayed there for several days. You can go to Bailding and ask!"

Emerson turned a deaf ear and insisted: "Sir Gardner, I understand. Your difficulties. Believe me, the surrounding lords will never sit idly by such a violation of nature."

He changed the subject and stared at Paul: "Even if Bailding is granted a seal. If the ministers are rebellious, they should be left to the Duke of the Northwest, Ferdinand, to make an impartial decision. Count Grayman took over Bairding by force without asking for permission, which is too disrespectful to the Duke. "< br>


Paul retorted: "The Garnerd family and the Graeman family are vassals who directly swear allegiance to the royal family. We can handle each other's affairs ourselves without asking Duke Ferdinand for instructions."

Emerson Huo Di stood up and said with a sneer: "The late king once granted Lord Ferdinand the power of conquest. All the lords in this area of ​​the Northwest Gulf must be under his control. If you act without asking him, you are undoubtedly slapping Lord Ferdinand."

"You..." Myron wanted to continue to refute Emerson.

However, he was stopped by Paul.

Paul has already seen it. The envoy sent by the Kent family insists that he will detain Myron, and also brings out the Duke of the Northwest Ferdinand to suppress him. He is completely looking for trouble with him. Reasoning is useless.

He doesn't seem to have offended the Kent family? Oh, except for catching a few spies.

But that time he was the reasonable one. At that time, he had the idea of ​​​​pacifying the situation and did not say anything, nor did he go to Emden to accuse the other party. Unexpectedly, the other party took advantage of it.

Wait, spy? At that time, those spies seemed to be here to steal papermaking technology...

Thinking of this, he generally understood what the Kent family wanted to do by sending the envoy here.

Paul adjusted his mentality, smiled at Emerson, and stretched out his hand to sit down.

While speaking softly: "Mr. Messenger, please sit down first. Many things can be discussed slowly."

"Many things!" He looked into the other person's eyes and repeated.

Emerson looked at Paul's smile, and the expression on his face gradually softened.

He sat down, smiled back and said: "Of course, Lord Graiman, many things can be discussed slowly."

The young earl finally took the road. .

I'm quite busy today and I haven't had time to write the manuscript for tomorrow, and I may not be able to do it tomorrow morning.
