NTR: I became a noble?

Chapter 89: Man behind Murder?

"She's alive??!" A voice echoed in the room after hearing the one way message from Erica.

...

'There is a limit to how idiotic a guy could be.' The man thought in frustration

'How can he not do something simple as this?'

"Call Ian, I want him here in an instant." He shouted out and order for his subordinate.

"Yes sir, I will bring him instantly." The subordinate instantly replied to Jaffrey.

He knew that Jaffrey was one of the most cruel leaders when it came to punishment and he did not want to be the one sharing punishment with the unfortunate Earl Ian.

'I wonder what he did this time? That guy Ian is quite dense. It was not worth it to make him and Earl, he has been constantly disappointing sir Jaffrey.'

The subordinate was once an outlier like Ian. He was a bastard child of a noble but fortunately he had a unique ability. He could heal faster than normal.

In arrogance, he began to challenge the nearby nobles and attempted to dethrone them from their little lands.

He was caught by the devil hunters and was about to be executed. Fortunately, Sir Jaffrey was there and saved him.

'You have great potential. Do you want to work for me, Harry?' Jaffrey had offered him work and a noble position. He had changed his whole life.

...

"Sir Jaffrey has called for you, Sir Ian." Harry announced in front of Ian's house. They were living in the capital of the kingdom.

Everyone who was connected with Jaffrey lived closer to his place when not on mission. It was a kind of security and a privilege that Jaffrey provided to his men.

"Me? Alright I am coming." Ian asked in surprise

He could not think of something he had done which would make Jaffrey call him instantly. He did have a small fight with his wife but that was not really a big deal and why would Jaffrey be bothered with that?

Ian instantly went to the room where Jaffrey was waiting for him.

"You called for me sir?" He asked politely as he knocked on the door. The door was unlocked and Jaffrey signalled Ian with his hands to come in.

"I did, do you know the status of your last mission?" Jaffrey asked

He looked at Ian with amused eyes, he wanted to sense his reaction to the grave mistake he had committed.

...

"My last mission?" Ian mumbled out loud

He could not remember any mission that he had fucked up recently which might have aroused the anger in Jaffrey.

'Is it about that day?'

"Is it about the Green family's Erica?" Ian asked Jaffrey

He suddenly remembered the failure of a mission on which he had recently received a report. It was a one of a kind mission and the victim was really lucky to have survived.

"Good, you still happen to remember it. I thought you might have forgetten to give me a report about it." Jaffrey said with a smile

However, Ian was not the one to be fooled by facial expressions. He knew that beneath that polite facade of smile, there existed hidden killing intent.

Jaffrey was smiling at Ian but his eyes were like daggers stabbing at Ian.

...

"It so happened, that just now I found out about the message she had sent to us." Ian said with a humble smile.

"And??" Jaffrey was getting impatient from Ian. He wanted to instantly get to the bottom of the reason instead of playing around with words with Ian.

"I am sorry lord Jaffrey. I did not take into account the possibility of Peerian sparing their lives." Ian instantly kneeled down on the floor

He was willing to live with this shame, it was his own fault anyways. Ian begged for his life while shifting his blame on Peerian.

Jaffrey was not moved by Ian's performance but he could not be cruel to his subordinates, at least not before they made a few more grave mistakes.

"Last chance, this is the last time I am sparing your life. You very well know what the consequences of failure are." Jaffrey warned Harry

'I will plan a new mission for Erica and her team.' Ian was an Earl, he had some influence on the officers at managerial levels. He was resourceful enough to reveal and alter Erica's missions.

It was do or die for Ian, he needed to end Erica before he was ended by Jaffrey.

...

"Leave." Jaffrey ordered the kneeling Ian

'Another useless pawn, how am I going to overthrow that useless king with these useless subordinates of mine?' Jaffrey thought in frustration

"That Alchemist, he is the one I want to have." Jaffrey said

He remembered the fame and terror that the Alchemist had spread in the last few years. That guy was perfect as a subordinate.

"Kern forest? There you are." He pointed at a place in the map, a place with thick and wild greenery and no signs of human establishments around it.

"Is he looking for the famed tier herbs in there?" Jaffrey wondered as he thought of the possibility.

There were medicines with certain properties that could only be found due to many coincidences.

They were above the normal tier herbs, it could not be judged on the basis of medical properties and the amount of Ki energy in them.

"What is he searching for? Rejuvenation herbs? Or is it the herbs to prolong his lifespan?" Jaffrey wondered as he looked at the map.

The kern forest was an uncharted territory, it was difficult for even him to look for the things he wanted himself.

A professional was needed to escape and steal those resources under the powerful beast's nose.

"Why is your child going to the academy?" Rae asked Serena in surprise

He was surprised that a little boy he had seen train in the garden was going to attend the classes in academy together with him.

"Wait, isn't he a little too young to be going into the academy filled with adults?" Rae asked Serena again

He stopped her from talking as he fired one question after the other one to Serena.

"He's not a student there, he's not going to be attending any classes. At least not with you people." Serena explained

Unlike the normal students of the academy, her child was not officially a part of the academy.

...

"That young kid has specialised classes?"

Rae was left speechless

'Is that kid so talented that he is getting specialised classes for himself??'

"I know nobles tend to train their children from early age but still, this is too much." Rae said to Serena

He felt pity for the child, he was literally getting abused in his childhood by making fighting as a career.

"It's not the normal academy. He won't be joining you at the academy." Serena retorted to his claims

"There's a professor from the academy I am friends with, he has decided to guide my son for a while." Serena revealed

She had a connection with a professor of royal academy which was pretty normal because she was an Earl herself.

It was easy for Serena to get a favour from the professor friend of hers. Not to mention, the child she had was talented.

...

"I'd be moving in there for accomodation." Serena said

Her eyes twinkled at the thought of spending time with Rae. She was staring at Rae's tool with tangible desires visible on her face.

'My extra deep efforts seem to have touched her soul. She's diverging a secret like that to me.' Rae thought

He was proud of the change he had instilled successfully in Serena.

"Though, I would be coming there a few days after you have left." Serena said with a tinge of regret apparent in her tone.

"That's a good news I hear." Ree grinned as he teased Serena.

'Is he saying it's good that I am not coming together with him? Does that mean he did not like spending the time with me?' her heart ached at the depressing thought she had.

She could not digest the fact that Rae, a young man who kept pleasuring her and kept pleading to her for a creampie was not actually that happy to be seen together with her. Enjoy new tales from m-v l'-NovelBin.net

...

'What is she thinking? She looks so deep in her thoughts. Is she making faces now? Ohh she looks kinda cute doing it.' Rae thought as he kept following Serena's facial expressions.

He was having fun looking at her different facial reactions.

"What did you think? You were so deep in your thoughts." Rae teasingly asked Serena

"Ohh is that so?" He asked

"What, is that so?" She retorted annoyingly

"I was talking about how I would not be able to resist travelling while together with you. If I were to travel together with you then I would not have been able to keep my hands to myself."

"Your child and you would not have certainly enjoyed those moments." Rae winked

(Sorry guys, had to combine two incomplete chapters to make up my minimum daily text limit.

I would try to make a really cheap privilege next month or create a new tier with many chapters but less than 150 coins this month)
