507 Banquet for nobles (7)

I didn't bother answering this as I turned to look at Viscount Teomold's followers.

At first, they had been moving over as if they wanted to help him if anything went wrong.

However, once they heard that it was the king's caravan that he had attacked, they immediately blended back into the crowd. They tried their best to hide in the crowd so that they didn't attract any attention at all.

But what they didn't notice was that there were guards that had blended into the crowd.

They were ready to capture these nobles at any moment.

It was time to take care of them as well so we didn't leave any unsolved problems for the future.

With a cough, I said, "There were others who had been discovered to have colluded with Viscount Teomold on this matter."

Everyone immediately took a cold breath when they heard this and they started looking at each other.

In no time at all, everyone started moving away from each other as if they didn't trust each other.

The expressions of Viscount Teomold's followers turned ugly when they heard this.

They wanted to move towards the door, but it was too conspicuous with everyone spreading out like this. So the only thing that they could do was hope that they hadn't been discovered.

But with everyone spread out like this, it was very easy to see the guards that were placed there.

So it didn't take long for them to realize what was happening.

I just calmly looked at Viscount Teomold's followers and said, "Is there anything that you want to say?"

All of them looked at each other with uncertain looks as if they didn't know what to do.

But the expressions on their faces became more and more unstable as if they were already considering something.

Finally, one of them spoke.

It was the one who had arrived late.

"It wasn't my fault! He was the one that forced me! He said that I would be next if I didn't cooperate with him!" As he said this, he pointed at Viscount Teomold who was being restrained by the two guards.

Viscount Teomold revealed an ugly look before glaring at this noble who was framing him and saying, "You, you, you! You're the one that offered your troops in the first place, I didn't even want to include a fence sitter like you!"

"Please don't listen to his nonsense! I was forced to participate by him or else he said that he would raid my territory as well!"

Seeing the two of them fight like this, the other nobles started to join in.

They gave many different reasons for why they did all of this, but there was one thing in common between them.

They all stated that everything was Viscount Teomold's fault.

It was him who forced them to join him.

The more that Viscount Teomold heard this, the more his face turned red.

It was as if he was able to burst from how much blood was gathering in his face.

But I stopped them by saying, "We've already found records of your involvement, so there's no excuses that you can make."

As soon as I said this, all of them fell silent.

They had thought that they would be able to blame Viscount Teomold to avoid taking the fall, or even offering information about all of this as a plea deal.

But it turned out that they had been played.

Count Zwein already had all the information that he needed, so he was just baiting them to see what else he could get from them.

In short, they had been played as the fool.

After a long silence, the nobles started coming back to their senses and looked like they wanted to say something. But they didn't get that chance as the guards that had been gathered already came forward to restrain them.

There were some that wanted to fight against the guards, but they found that they were completely outmatched.

Some of these nobles were ones that had fought as knights on the frontline before receiving their titles for their achievements, so they couldn't believe that they were being overpowered by guards like this.

But they found that they weren't able to do a single thing against these guards.

They were completely outclassed.

How could guards for a countryside noble be this strong?

It would make sense if he was some kind of hidden royal, but he was nothing more than a noble that had been lucky enough to earn a title.

This just didn't make any sense at all.

While the nobles had been restrained, Viscount Henry had been walking forward with a few of his followers as if they were prepared to help if anything happened.

When they saw how easily Viscount Teomold's followers were caught, they couldn't help being surprised.

After all, Viscount Henry was someone who had served as a knight as well, so he was someone with some military prowess.

At the same time, the nobles that chose to follow him were also those that had served on the frontline, which was why they chose to follow him in the first place.

All of them had skills that allowed them to see how powerful these guards were.

It was clear that they might not even be able to do anything to these guards if they were the ones being restrained.

Viscount Henry couldn't help looking at Count Zwein with a strange look, but he saw that he was also looking at him which caught him off guard.

Seeing Viscount Henry look at me like this, I gave a secret bitter laugh before waving my hand at him to come over.

Viscount Henry hesitated for a second as he revealed a confused look, but he still came over in the end.

After he came over, I looked at everyone and said, "The actions of these wicked nobles have harmed others, so now they will be given compensation for this matter."

Just one more day of AGDQ left.
